Product Description
Flax Seed Oil Plant Manufacturer refining of vegetable oils is essential to ensure removal of gums, waxes, phosphatides and free fatty acid (F. F.A.) from the oil; to impart uniform colour by removal of colouring pigments and to get rid of unpleasant smell from the oil by removal of odiferous matter. Shandong Leader Machinery Co.,ltd. refining is carried out either on batch operation or as continuous operation. With certain CE BV ISO guarantee price rice mill plant oils even physical refining can be carried out instead of chemical. For processing less than thirty tones of oil per 24 hours, and when oil has F.F .A. content of 1 % or less normally batch process is recommended. Flax Seed Oil Plant Manufacturer batch process involves low capital investment, simplicity of operation and low maintenance, making refining economically a viable proposition even at capacity as low as 10 tonnes per 24 hours of CE BV ISO guarantee price rice mill plant.

- Deshelling: the shell of the peanuts must be removed before being processed, the shell is very active, which can influence the oil pressed rate a lot.
- Screening: the seeds shall be cleaned before being crushed or soften, the impurities in the seeds will make the oil quality bad, and make it hard to refine. It is necessary to remove all the impurities includes big and small ones.
- Destoning and magnetic separating: the metal matters and small stones must be removed, they will abrade the machine badly, and also will influence the oil quality a lot.
- Crushing: the seeds shall be crushed into small pieces, which can make it easier for the oil to be pressed out. Usually it shall be crushed into 6-8 pieces.
- Softening: after crushing ,softening shall follow, the crushed pieces shall be in good state, which has the most suitable moisture and temperature state. And then, the oil will be pressed out very easily.
- Flaking: after being soften, the seeds will have very good flexibi8lity, it can be flaked into average flakes, which has the equal thickness, and is in the best station to be finally pressed to oil.
- Cooking: the last step before pressing is cooking, the cooked material is of good smell, whatâs more, it can raise the oil pressed rate.
- Pressing: screw oil press designed by our company has very unique character, it can work under any condition, with less power, which can save energy, it also has a rater higher oil pressed rate and less residual rate. The residual is less than 6%.
- Filtering: the crude oil shall be filtered to remove the small impurities in the oil. We do have blade filters, bag filters, plate filters and so on, according to different material and capacity, we do suggest different types.
- Solvent extraction: for big capacity, normally more than 30tons per day, after being pressed, there is still some residual in the cake, if the cake is not used to the fullest, it will be a waste. By using solvent extraction technology, the residual can be reduced less than 0.5%, which means you can get at least more than 8% oil per unite. According to different requirement, we will suggest customers to use rotocel, loop and drag chain extractor.
- Refinery: according to customersâ requirement and the capacity asked, we do suggest different equipment and technology, normally if the capacity is 1-10TPD ,We do suggest batching refinery, if it is 10-20TPD, we do suggest semi continuous, and if it is more than 20TPD, we do suggest continuous refining.
- Fractionation or dewaxing: for crude oil of sunflower, red seed, corn, palm, rice bran ,the wax in the oil shall be removed. The crystallization, filtering and cooling system designed by us is unique and highly spoken of by customers all over the world.

KSO owners: Get a Kindle Book from a List of Thousands for $1
There is one of those great offers for Kindle owners who have Kindle with Special Offers going on right now.
You can select one book out of a specific list of thousands for $1.
I think there are a lot of great possibilities this time, and I'm going to suggest some. For those of you who don't have a KSO on your account, I think you'll still find the post interesting…you may not have realized these books were available for the Kindle, and may want to pay more than a dollar for some. 🙂
Our interactions with the Special Offers have changed in my house, since I now have a Mindle (the $79 in the USA Kindle with Special Offers).
It used to be that just my Significant Other in our household had a Kindle with Special Offers…and for those of you who worry that the ads could be intrusive, well, my SO never even noticed them. 🙂 Part of that was that my SO rarely turns on the wireless, so they don't change as much.
If you have a KSO, you can check what the current Special Offers (I know, it's weird that Special Offer and Significant Other are the same abbreviation) are by doing
Home-Menu-View Special Offers
You need to request this one by October 27 (this Thursday), and then you have a month to pick one.
By the way, we can thankful to Open Road Media for some of the books on this list. They do not use the Agency Model, so Amazon is able to discount their books to give us special like this…and they have some great books!
One more interesting thing until I started listing some notable books in the list.
This offer is being sponsored by the movie Anonymous. I have to say, the fact that is was sponsored by Anonymous threw me on the website…it didn't say "by the movie Anonymous", and I thought we might have had an unknown benefactor to thank. 🙂 That doesn't say much for that part of the advertising…but I do have an advert for Anonymous the movie on my Homescreen (just in that little spot where we usually see one).
This also is a good example of why Special Offers aren't available around the world (yet).
The movie opens in the USA, US, Canada, and some other markets on Friday (the day after the ad will probably stop appearing on our Kindles, since we can't redeem it after the 27th). So, Columbia gets their money's worth out of sponsoring the Special Offer in the USA, presumably. But if you are in France, the movie doesn't open until December…which wouldn't make the ad much of a driver for the box office for that market. Different companies are also distributing the movie in different countries, and that might also have an impact on who sponsored the offer.
Now, on to
The List (all books do not have text-to-speech access blocked)

$6.15 without Special Offer at time of writing
Carson McCullers is known for her literature of loneliness. Among her other works are The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter and Member of the Wedding (both of which, along with Ballad, have been made into movies).

So just what did Ellison buy in Hawaiian island?
Many billionaires and celebrities have bought private islands, but they are usually uninhabited dots where the owners don't have to worry about things like water wars, union contracts and elected officials.
That's why Larry Ellison's purchase of Lanai, Hawaii's sixth-largest island with 3,100 inhabitants as of 2010, raises so many questions.
Ellison, chief executive of Oracle, plans to buy 98 percent of the island's acreage, along with resorts and other properties, from David Murdock's Castle & Cooke for an undisclosed sum. The sale is expected to close Wednesday after the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission on Monday gave interim approval for the transfer of three public utilities included in the deal.
MBA BY THE BAY: See how an MBA could change your life with SFGATE's interactive directory of Bay Area programs.
Here are answers to some questions about this unusual transaction:
Q:How big is Lanai?
A: It is 141 square miles, or roughly 89,000 acres. Castle & Cooke owns 87,700 acres, according to tax records. It is 18 miles at its longest and 13 miles at its widest, with about 47 miles of coastline. It has no stoplights or chain stores and one school.
Q:How is Lanai governed?
A: Like the rest of Hawaii, there is no city government. Lanai is part of Maui county. It has one of nine seats on the Maui County Council; Molokai has one and Maui has seven. Lanai is represented in state government by a representative and senator who also represent other islands.
Q:What is Ellison buying?
A: In a PUC filing, Castle & Cooke says it is selling "more than 88,000 acres of land" including 248 acres of commercial and residential property in Lanai City (the island's only town), two resort hotels managed by Four Seasons, two golf courses and clubhouses, Koele Stables, a clay-shooting facility, an interest in La Ola Solar Farm, administrative buildings, employee rental housing, recreational facilities and three public utilities.
One utility distributes all of the island's water, one treats wastewater, and one runs a shuttle service around the island. There is no public transportation.
The properties are said to be losing $18 million to $25 million a year.
Murdock has retained the right to develop a controversial wind farm on Lanai that would transmit power to Oahu under the sea.
Q:How can one person own 98 percent of an island?
A: Virtually all of Lanai has been owned by a single person or company for more than 100 years. This is because one party after another sold the whole island rather than subdividing it, "usually the result of bankruptcy," says Kepa Maly, executive director of the Lanai Culture & Heritage Center. "Another major factor is that water resources are limited, and development opportunities are tied to water."
Warren Nishimoto, director of the Center for Oral History at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, points out that Parker Ranch on the Big Island of Hawaii was much larger than Lanai and owned by a single person, Richard Smart, until he died in 1992 and left it in a trust. Once 500,000 acres, it is now down to 130,000.
"Ownership of an island is an exotic notion. People think of 'Fantasy Island.' But if you look at it as a large tract of land, it's not that unusual," Nishimoto says.
Q:Who owns the rest of Lanai?
A: The state or county owns most roads, the airport, harbors and other public facilities. "The sale or exchange of land for various public services and benefits began with James Dole by the early 1930s and continued through the tenure of David Murdock," Maly says. "Murdock's primary transfer was based on securing development rights in exchange for conveyance of property and also relieved him of obligations to care for various facilities."
The county owns about 200 acres and leases property from Castle & Cooke including the fire station, pool, gym, softball field and recycling center. "The status of these leases will be among items of discussion with Larry Ellison," says Rod Antone, spokesman for the Maui mayor's office.
There are about 1,500 residences on Lanai. including 542 owner-occupied homes and about 100 condominiums. Some of the other homes are owned by Castle & Cook.
Q:Are the beaches public?
A: As in the rest of Hawaii, all beaches are public up to the high-water mark. Landowners are generally not required to provide beach access through their property, although native Hawaiians are given certain access rights. Counties can require developers to provide public beach access.
Q:How much does Castle & Cooke pay in property tax?
A: Although it owns 98 percent of the land, most of it is undeveloped and some is inaccessible. As a result its property was assessed last year at $325 million or just over half of the island's total of $622.5 million in assessed value. It paid $2.1 million in property taxes, about 56 percent of the island's total.
Q:What does Ellison plan to do?
A: He has not revealed specific plans. The PUC filing says he plans to invest at least $10 million over five years in the two water utilities as "contributions in aid of construction."
Kalani English, Lanai's state senator, says Ellison's personal representative told him he plans "no radical changes" and will try "to balance economics, land conservation and stewardship." English says Murdock sustained losses of $18 million to $25 million a year to keep the resorts going. "That's why Ellison is perhaps a good fit. He knows up front he can't turn it around in a day."
English says he was told that Ellison "will honor the union contracts" that cover most of Castle & Cooke's employees on Lanai.
Q:How do residents of Lanai feel?
A: "About one-third is very optimistic," says Riki Hokama, Lanai's county councilman. "They feel this is a new opportunity for the island. One-third feels it's going to be the same. One-third thinks it might be worse without Murdock."
Many hope Ellison will diversify the economy's dependence on tourism and stop the flight of residents.
English says he believes the island has lost more than 1,000 people since the 2010 census, based on consumption patterns, school enrollment and vacant homes. Hokama thinks only 500 have fled.
A brief history of Lanai's ownership
1848: King Kamehameha III institutes Western-style land ownership. Of 13 ancient land divisions, five are awarded to chiefs who had supported the king's father in unifying the Hawaiian island group; eight are retained by the government or king.
1862: Walter Murray Gibson arrives to reorganize a Mormon colony and buys one chief-owned plot for the church. He is later excommunicated for keeping the property in his name. Gibson later buys the other chief-owned lands, leases the king- and government-owned properties and begins sheep and later goat ranching.
1888: Gibson dies, leaves the island to his daughter and his son-in-law, Frederick Hayselden, who starts a sugarcane operation, which goes bankrupt.
1902: Charles and Louisa Gay purchase a portion of the Gibson-Hayselden estate, and within a few years they own virtually all of the island, including government lands. The Gays transition the ranches to cattle. Gay mortgages the property to William G. Irwin and Co., and when Gay runs into financial trouble, Irwin and partners foreclose, take over the island and form the Lanai Co.
1917: Frank and Harry Baldwin, sons of missionaries from Maui, acquire the island from Lanai Co.
1922: James Dole buys out the Baldwins for $1.1 million and starts what will become the world's largest pineapple plantation. Dole builds Lanai City, a harbor, plantation fields and other infrastructure. Farmworkers are brought in, mainly from the Philippines and Japan. Following a strike in 1951, planation employees are given the right to purchase their homes.
1961: Castle & Cooke buys out Dole. In 1973, it unveils plans to transition Lanai from pineapples to luxury resorts.
1985: David Murdock buys Castle & Cooke. It opens the Lodge at Koele in 1990 and the Manele Bay Resort in 1991. In 1992, the last pineapple harvest takes place.
2012: Larry Ellison announces plans to acquire 98 percent of Lanai from Murdock.

London, England (CNN) -- In only two weeks, an estimated 600,000 people will descend on London for one of the most anticipated royal events -- the wedding of Britain's Prince William to long-time love, Kate Middleton.
Tipped to be the wedding of the century, thousands of royal wedding tourists have already snapped up many of the 90,000 hotel rooms across the capital.
But if you're thinking of joining the celebrations, it's not too late to bag a room.
"There is still availability for the royal wedding night," said Nigel Pocklington, managing director for Hotels.com. "Around 50% of the hotels we sell still have some availability for that weekend."
But, he warns, "Now's the time to book it, I wouldn't leave it much later than this!"
So, if you're thinking of booking last minute accommodation, keep these helpful hints in mind.
Don't be afraid to upgrade
While some London hotels are already fully booked, some of the capital's pricier establishments have still not filled all their rooms.
If you're willing to pay that bit extra, you can still snag a hotel in the most sought-after locations around Westminster Abbey and Buckingham palace, some at discount prices.
According to Hotels.com, London hoteliers in general are now reviewing their rates to attract more people into the capital as well as releasing more rooms and removing reservations restrictions, such as a minimum number of days if you're booking for April 29.
But the hotel booking website warns April prices are still higher than the average London hotel rate.
Location isn't everything
If you're on a tight budget or don't feel like staying in the center of a crowded London, choosing a hotel away from the processional route or even outside of London could be your option.
"If you're looking to save a bit of money or book a bit smarter, the best thing to do would be to get out of (Central London) and go a few tube stops down the line or even into the suburbs," said Pocklington.
According to London's Transport Commissioner, Peter Hendy, all London tube lines will be running on the day. Teams will also be in place to ensure closures and diversions are managed smoothly.
Most train lines bringing people to and from the capital will be running normal weekday services, with some adding additional carriages. Chiltern Railways, which runs services between London and Birmingham, is even offering free travel to passengers named Kate, Catherine or William.
National Rail has advised people to arrive in London before 10am on the day of the wedding and to check train times and routes well in advance.
Sharing's caring
Hotels are not the only option, with many Londoners taking advantage of the influx of visitors to make a buck or two by renting out their spare rooms, beds and couches.
According to crashpadder.com, staying in someone's house is on average 83% cheaper than staying in a hotel room, with the added bonus of a free, friendly, local expert -- your host.
Rough it -- royal style
Britain's Prime Minister did it thirty years ago for the wedding of Prince Charles and Diana, and you can too! If you're not too picky about where you sleep, why not camp out -- in royal style of course.
Camp Royale on London's Clapham Common is offering three nights accommodation for £75 ($123).
The Common, 25 minutes by London underground from the processional route, will also have a giant TV screen broadcasting the wedding and will host its own "street party." If that's not enough, in true British style, the campsite offers a free cup of tea to start each day.

A secondary clarifier is the final treatment stage of a traditional activated sludge sewage works. It separates solid precipitate material from effluent water prior to discharge. Because of recent changes in environmental legislation, many treatment works in the UK are required to carry increased throughput or meet more stringent effluent quality limits. This means that more clarification capacity is needed. But with land in urban areas scarce and construction costs high, there is an increasing need to maximize the performance of existing units rather than build new ones.
The standard technique for designing a final clarifier is mass flux theory. However, this method uses a one-dimensional settling model and cannot account for the density current flow typical in a clarifier.

One has often heard, read and seen [on screen] the positive and negative aspects of Bollywood. It would be erroneous to state that LUCK BY CHANCE does a pol-khol of the glamorous industry. Let's put it this way: The film mirrors the behind-the-scenes drama and manoeuvring exactly the way it occurs in showbiz. Watching LUCK BY CHANCE is like experiencing it first-hand.
If you're associated with Bollywood, if you know how the machine works, you'd laud and applaud, laugh and smile, identify and understand and at times, empathize and sympathize with the characters in LUCK BY CHANCE. Zoya Akhtar's take on an industry that attracts millions of hopefuls year after year is bang on target.
Almost three decades ago, Hrishikesh Mukherjee's GUDDI depicted a star-struck teenager's [Jaya Bhaduri] obsession for a top star [Dharmendra]. Along with the core issue, the film highlighted the behind-the-scenes hard work and labour that went into making movies.
LUCK BY CHANCE taps almost every important facet of Bollywood and presents assorted characters you've encountered some time in life: An over-ambitious aspirant who knows to make the right moves; an actress trying hard to get that big break, even if she has to compromise; an icon of the 1970s who desperately wants her daughter to be a star; a producer who looks at riding on big names, script be damned; a failed actor now looking at direction to redeem his career.
One of the prime reasons why LUCK BY CHANCE works is because the writing [Zoya Akhtar] is simply wonderful. Right from the characters, to the individualistic scenes, to the way Zoya puts them in a sequence, LUCK BY CHANCE is easily one of the most cohesive scripts this side of the Atlantic.
The verdict? Leave aside everything and hitch this joyride called LUCK BY CHANCE. It would be sacrilege to miss this one!
Sona [Konkona Sen Sharma] arrives in Mumbai with dreams of becoming a film star. She does whatever it takes, to make it. Vikram [Farhan Akhtar] has just moved to the city leaving the comforts of his Delhi home. He is used to getting what he wants and is smart enough to know when to demand it and when to manipulate it. Gradually, Sona and Vikram develop a romantic relationship.
Rolly [Rishi Kapoor] is a successful though superstitious producer who only works with the biggest stars. He is making a potential blockbuster launching Niki [Isha Sharwani], the daughter of 1970s superstar Neena [Dimple Kapadia]. The hero of the film, Zaffar Khan [Hrithik Roshan], is the superstar.
Zaffar decides to opt out of Rolly's film and that creates havoc in Rolly's life. Rolly decides to cast newcomers and finally, Vikram is shortlisted for the main role...
LUCK BY CHANCE picks up characters straight out of life and that's the beauty of this script. The interesting part is that each of these characters has a story running parallel to the main story. Although the writing is foolproof, this review would be incomplete if one failed to acknowledge a number of scenes that are the hallmark of this enterprise...
If Zoya's writing is superb, her execution of the written material deserves distinction marks. This may be Zoya's directorial debut, but she treats the difficult subject like a veteran. Javed Akhtar's dialogues are remarkable. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's music is a mixed bag; the score could've been better. However, the choreography of the circus song is remarkable. Carlos Catalan's cinematography captures the right moods.
Farhan Akhtar is evolving into one of the most dependable actors of his generation. He's very real, very believable. No wonder, this character stands out. Konkona Sen Sharma is exceptional. The supremely talented actress delivers a sparkling performance yet again. Rishi Kapoor is incredible. A performance that merits the highest praise. Dimple Kapadia is in terrific form. It easily ranks amongst her most accomplished works. Juhi Chawla is first-rate. Isha Sharwani does her part well. Sanjay Kapoor springs a surprise. He registers an impact. Aly Khan is perfect.
Hrithik Roshan is truly wonderful. Note the sequence when he strikes a conversation with Karan Johar, only to realize that he himself had paved the way for Farhan in the industry. Only an accomplished actor could've handled this sequence with aplomb. Amongst the A-listers who make fleeting appearances in the film, the one who registers the maximum impact is Shah Rukh Khan.
On the whole, LUCK BY CHANCE is an outstanding film in all respects. A magnificent outing from the producers of ROCK ON!!, LUCK BY CHANCE is sure to prove an extremely lucky and rewarding experience at the box-office. Strongly recommended!

SANDY, Utah – Real Salt Lake embark this week on a new adventure: CONCACAF Champions League play.
This marks the team's first venture into the depths of meaningful international competition. So now the big question: How serious will they take this competition? And how much will they focus on these upcoming games versus their remaining league calendar?
According to general manager Garth Lagerwey, the team has a lot of incentive to give this tournament a lot of attention.
"I think in terms of building our fan base, there is nothing that gives us more credibility than saying we're not just playing for the MLS title," he said. "We're playing for the region's title, and we want to go compete against the world's best in Japan [at the Club World Cup] in 2011."
In addition to building the fan base, this tournament can raise the profile of the team and capture the interest of would-be players as well. Although there has been a recent rash of imports coming from Europe, CONCACAF is still an important region for recruiting for Major League Soccer teams, and doing well in Champions League can only help the cause for recruiting from this pool. Case in point: Alvaro Saborio.
[inline_node:311771]RSL didn't win, nor even compete in Champions League last season, but another factor raised the team's profile dramatically: winning the MLS Cup. However, the side-benefit of winning the Cup was automatic participation in the CCL.
According to Lagerwey, this was an important factor for Saborío, who won a Champions' Cup title while playing with Saprissa in 2005.
"We got Álvaro Saborío, in part, because he knew he was going to play in the CONCACAF Champions League," Lagerwey said.
For those still skeptical that this tournament will get the full attention of Real Salt Lake, there's good reason. Although Columbus and Houston appeared to put a lot into their participation in this tournament last year, that hasn't always been the case in the past. Plus, this tournament comes at a crucial time for many MLS teams trying to position their team properly for the playoffs coming up in a couple of months.
However, the signs are all there that RSL are approaching the tournament with a different philosophy.
Coach Jason Kreis insists that the Champions League isn't a chance to merely "develop players." He does admit that for this tournament, and for the remainder of the MLS schedule, more players will be put into the mix, but his distinction is an important one.
"Our first emphasis with this tournament is to win – to advance," he said. "It's not to give young players experiences. We may do that, but when we do that it's going to be with the intent to win.
[inline_node:315311]"You are going to have to approach it in the right way. You're going to have to say, 'All of us are capable pros,'" he added. "We watch you guys every day – you are fantastic players. Go prove it – go prove us right about how we feel about you.'"
The team is putting an interesting marketing focus on this tournament, pitching it as "Real Salt Lake Against the World." The team has placed large billboards along major roadways around Salt Lake City, and have been handing out tri-fold pamphlets to fans offering an explanation of what the Champions League is all about and how the tournament works.
"I think it's been a pretty concerted, widespread effort across the board to say that we're taking it seriously," Lagerwey said. "I think that's come from a league level, as well as an individual club level. Commissioner Garber has said if our league wants to get credibility, we need to win Champions League."

(CBS News) The U.S. Postal Service reported a record annual loss last week of almost $16 billion -- nearly three times higher than the year before. Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe is asking Congress to act now.
Donahoe said on "CBS This Morning," "What we're facing now is our own fiscal cliff in this lame duck session. It's hard. I'll tell you -- all the fiscal cliff (in the news). Hey talk about us a little bit. We have our own fiscal cliff. If they act now, we'll get this whole thing behind us and we can be profitable and then focus on growing the postal business."
In order to improve the organization's financial situation, Donahoe said on "CBS This Morning" that he's asking Congress to refinance retiree health benefits and eliminate Saturday delivery of mail. He said, "We're not asking to get dug out from under, we're taking the responsibility of doing it, but rather than pay $5.5 billion a year we think we should be paying around a billion a year (in retiree health benefits). The second thing we want to do is eliminate Saturday delivery of mail, not packages, just mail. So we would have post offices open Saturday and we would still have package delivery."
The Post Office's problems are two-fold, according to Donahoe. "The situation is this," he said. "Number one, volume has dropped. People pay their bills online. So we lost about 25 percent of our volume in the last five years. Now our people have done a nice job taking costs to balance that out. The other issue we're faced with is we're required by law to pre-fund retirement health care for people who haven't retired yet to the tune of $5.5 billion a year. That's what's hurting us from a financial standpoint. So as the volume dropped, we have not been able to make this payment."
The Postal Service isn't asking Congress for money, Donahoe said. "We want no money. What we want from Congress is this: Change the requirement on the payment structure and allow us to move away from six-day delivery. What that does is change our profit and loss by $8 billion. We would be profitable and be profitable for a number of years doing it."
He also noted that the Postal Service is self-sufficient. "Most people don't realize we're 100 percent self-sufficient. That may not sound good when you lose the money you're losing. ... We pay our own way. We take no tax money. What we operate on, what comes in the door in terms of revenue, stamps and packages."
Changes are coming to U.S.P.S. offices and staffing in the coming year. Donahoe said about half of the nation's post offices are "changing." "We're in the process of doing something called The POST Plan. We have 26,000 post offices across the country. We're changing about 13,000 -- half of them to part-time hours. That keeps them open, keeps the town's identity. The zip code, no change there. But we can do a lot more efficiently, there's no reason to have a place open eight hours a day if you have an hour's worth of business."
By the end of 2013 the workforce will also have to be reduced. "We have reduced our workforce by 280,000 people over the last 10 years, 35 percent," Donahoe said. "We're in the process right now this year of another 40,000. Our people do a tremendous job. They are very efficient."
Privatization of the Postal Service has been a topic of discussion for years, but the issue is delivering to the areas the U.S.P.S. does. "We're required by law to provide universal service to the American public at a universal price," he said. "(FedEx and UPS) are great companies. But there are many parts of the country that FedEx and UPS don't deliver, but maybe two times a week. If we had the flexibility to change delivery schedules, we would make money, too."
For more with Donahoe on changes coming to the U.S. Postal Service, watch his full interview in the video above.

This certainly seems like an interesting product. However, reading through this review it reminded me of the BBE Sonic Maximizer that I have used in many live sound applications. Any experience with this, much cheaper, piece of gear in a hi-fi environment?
BSG qøl Signal Completion Stage
As I wrote in my show report, the difference between bypass and process was enormous on both the Eagles' "Hotel California" and Leon Fleisher, George Szell, and the Cleveland Orchestra's recording of Brahms's Piano Concerto 2. Superficially, there seemed to be an increase in volume of 23dB; more significant was that individual objects in the soundstagethe solo voice in "Hotel California," the piano in the Brahmsdidn't get louder. It was the surrounding space that gained in volume. With both pieces of music, the sound definitely improved with the Signal Completion Stage doing its stuff.
I asked for a review sample.
Signal Completion
The obvious question to be asked is "What does it do?" From BSG's website:
"BSG Technologies has developed a method of retrieving sonic information from audio signals that provides a realistic and complete rendering of the original acoustic event. . . . Instead of 'adding' a host of processing techniques intended to create 'effects,' we have simply found a way to extract information already present in recordings, but otherwise hidden in conventional reproduction. Our technology enables complete capture, transmission, and reproduction of such information, including elements that, until now, have remained hidden and buried in electronics, and unavailable to the listener. The result is an audio experience with fullness and richness beyond comparison and one which carries essentially all the dynamic, tonal, and spatial content of a real sonic event. . . . We call it 'qøl(tm).'"
The Signal Completion Stage uses technology developed by BSG's Barry Stephen Goldfarb, who has taught audio engineering and acoustics at the university level. BSG and Goldfarb applied for two patents on qøl, one of which, US Patent 8259960, was granted last fall. That patent refers to "phase layered" treble and bass signals as well as antiphase signals, but I found it difficult to see from the circuit diagrams included in the patent what was actually being done to the input signal. However, looking at the application for the other patent, US20110158413, I found the following two paragraphs:
"8: The objectives and advantage of the present invention may also be achieved through an audio signal reproduction method that involves, among other things, selecting a discrete signal source having left and right signal inputs, summing the left input signal and an inverted right input signal to produce a leftright difference signal, summing the right input signal and an inverted left input signal to produce a rightleft difference signal, and summing the left and right input signals to produce a left+right summed signal. The method and circuit further involve adjusting the gain of the left+right summed signal, adjusting the gain of the leftright difference signal, and adjusting the gain of the rightleft difference signal. Still further, the method and circuit involve summing the gain adjusted left+right summed signal and the gain adjusted leftright difference signal to produce a left audio output signal, where the ratio of the gains associated with the left+right summed signal and the leftright difference signal at least approximates the golden ratio [1 plus the square root of 5 divided by 2, or 1.618, equivalent to 4.18dB]. Similarly, the gain adjusted left+right summed signal and the gain adjusted rightleft difference signal are summed to produce a right audio output signal, wherein the ratio of the gains associated with the left+right summed signal and the leftright difference signal at least approximates the golden ratio.
"9: The audio reproduction method of claim 8, wherein the gain of the left+right summed signal is asymmetrically adjusted relative to the gain of the left-right difference signal, such that the ratio of gains is within 10 percent of 1.618; and wherein the gain of the left+right summed signal is asymmetrically adjusted relative to the gain of the right-left difference signal, such that the ratio of gains is within 10 percent of 1.618."
Ah-ha! This looks like a variation on something with which I am familiar: the Blumlein Shuffler, which allows adjustment of a stereo soundstage's width and dates back to the 1930s. By converting a conventional stereo signal into Sum and Difference signals and amplifying or attenuating the Difference signal before rematrixing these signals to produce left and right outputs, the stage width can be reduced or expanded. And if you change the spectral balance of the Difference signal, you can selectively alter the stage width at some frequencies but not others.
I had experimented with shuffling when I produced one of the tutorial tracks on Stereophile's Test CD 3 (Stereophile STPH006-2). I took a choral stereo recording I had made with distant, almost-coincident cardioid microphones, converted it to Sum and Difference signals, then applied a low-frequency boost to the difference signal before reconverting the recording to left- and right-channel signals. My goal was to both compensate for the bass rolloff typical of distant cardioid mikes and widen the stage in the bass. The result was successful, though I found that getting the correct degree of equalization was difficult: too much, and the recording sounded phasey; too little, and the improvement in stage width was minimal.
I heard this device at RMAF11. I could clearly hear the dB gain and a widening of the stage during the A/B session they gave us. The people representing the company indicated they really were not into audio - my inference was that audio was some derivative use. As someone with a background in research level physics my BS detector normally goes off in these situations, especially when I start hearing unsubstantiated magic beanisms like "quantum" or "tunneling" or or some other high voltage torture that results in the sound being different .... I only remember them talking vaguely about phase. My BS detector didn't go off. They seemed genuine, excited about their product - almost giddy - curious about audiophiles, and not really too aware of the technical details. I was curious.
Segue to the latest issue and I got the answer to my question. This product, regardless of price point, will not be for everyone, especially purists (aspiring?). But it is nice to have some transparency. All too often some product is introduced that changes the sound; but is it for the better? Or do people just get excited when they can hear a change and the marketing sets the stage for its reception being perceived as an improvement? So thanks to Mr Atkinson and BSG for the transparent and well-written article.
(Edit: p.s. I have a funny picture from their room I saved that is two 'scopes comparing a signal with the device on and off. Makes sense in retrospect :-)
I just had to comment that this is one of the best reviews I have read and frankly I am really glad to see a review of this caliber on Stereophile. This type of educated and informing review is what myself and many of your readers have been waiting for on these type of "tweak" or enhancement products.
JA you did a standup job cutting through the manufacture's frankly B.S. copy of "not being an effects box but digging deeper into the recording and uncovering hidden and secret information through our proprietary processing technology". You explained in relatively understandable terms that this is precisely an effects box with a singular well known effect.
While being an effect box is not a bad thing, I am just glad that someone at Stereophile is finally calling a spade a spade and not just ignorantly regurgitating the manufacture's fraudulent marketing speak.
JA, I anxiously look forward to more of these kinds of articules as they do a great job of shining a light of truth on the dank and dirty world of tweaks.
I am not an engineer nor a designer of reference level audiophile components. I am one who very much wants to hear the reproduced music as lifelike, detailed, natural, involving and as close to live music as possible. Towards that end I have devoted a substantial sum of money to achieve what to me sounds engaging and makes me enjoy the music.
I frankly don't really understand much of what was written in the article. I mostly skimmed through the reprint of the patent application. I certainly don't have a great sense of what a Blumlein Shuffler is, what it does, or how it may be applicable in today's high end components. I'll leave that for those far more learned than I am.
However, I have owned a BSG qol Signal Completion Stage for eight months now. I have had professional musicians, recording engineers, audiophiles and friends in to hear my system. In each and every case, the most discussion centered around the qol unit. And each and every person who has heard it, including wives of friends were amazed at the difference it makes.
When my friends inquired about the qol unit, we did not discuss a Blumlein Shuffler or a patent application. I simply told them that it brings much of the recorded sound to the front that may be ordinarily hidden or obscured. I told them that it made the music sound so much better. Everyone was astounded at the difference it made. Simply put, it makes the music sound more lifelike. Not in the way a graphic equalizer on a mid-fi surround sound receiver does but actually more lifelike. Your hear so much more music with qol. The proof is in the bypass button on the remote- you can actually hear what you are missing without qol.
I don't really care if my system costs $200,000, $2,000,000 or $2.00. I can tell you that any high end system I build will have a qol Signal Completion Stage as part of the components.
Patents, Blumlein Shufflers, equalization, this, that- all are fine discussions. For me, I'll take the music. Because qol works.
Next time, please don't make it so obious that your comment was paid for by BSG :)
Your article inspired me to try this out for myself. After reading your description of the Blumlein Shuffler, I tracked down a free mid-side VST plug-in ( http://www.voxengo.com/product/msed/ ), installed it in Jriver (music playback software for the PC) and played around with mid-side levels. I found that a small increase in side level (between 0.8 and 1.2 with this plug-in) did help the soundstage bloom on many recordings. Too much level and it sounded too phasy and exagerated. But when set to a tasteful level, it really works!
I heard the BSG unit in a friend's system a few months ago and really liked what it did. He listens almost exclusively to vinyl so an analog solution like the BSG is ideal for him. For those of us who have computer audio setups, we have an alternate path to get to the same place. Thanks for cracking this nut for us.
You are correct!!!! You do hear more instruments when cautiously applied! Biggest thing, it was FREE!!!! Listening to it in J River now!
Is the variation on already known techs enough to justify the cost.Is it any better choosing effects on a receiver. Buy it if your wealthy, looks cool?

'The Walking Dead': Meet Tyreese's Group
[Warning: This story contains spoilers from Sunday's Walking Dead midseason finale and the comic series the drama is based on.]
Sunday's midseason finale of AMC's The Walking Dead marked the debut of comic book fan favorite Tyreese, who fled to safety at the prison, where Carl rescued them from a walker attack and led them to safety -- and subsequently locked them up in a cell of their own.
STORY: 'Walking Dead' Dissection: Glen Mazzara, Robert Kirkman Talk Epic Confrontations and What's Next
In Robert Kirkman's comic series, Tyreese -- who is portrayed by The Wire's Chad Coleman -- is a former pro football linebacker who, with his family, connects with Rick's group on the highway and finds food and shelter with the survivors before growing to become Rick's No. 2 following Shane's death. He eventually becomes a love interest for both Michonne and Carol.
"We're very lucky to have Chad Coleman," showrunner Glen Mazzara tells The Hollywood Reporter. "We're all fans of The Wire and [Walking Dead and Wire director] Ernest Dickerson has obviously worked with Chad. He's a great addition to the family."
On the AMC zombie drama, Tyresse is traveling with folks named Sasha, Allen, Ben and Donna. Here's the scoop on everyone in Tyreese's pack, though, like the new prisoners introduced in the season three premiere, it's unclear how long any of them will stick around.
PHOTOS: 'The Walking Dead's' Most Shocking Deaths
Sonequa Martin-Green (The Good Wife, NYC 22, Army Wives) portrays a new character to the Walking Dead universe and is Tyreese's clearly outspoken sister. Sasha and Tyreese "will be major players" in the back-half of season three, Mazzara says.
Daniel Thomas May (The Vampire Diaries, Drop Dead Diva) plays Allen, who first appeared in the second issue of the comics with his wife, Donna, and twin sons Billy and Ben. At the prison, Allen helps Rick and Tyreese clear Cell Block A and ultimately winds up getting bitten on the ankle. In a bid to save him, Rick amputates his leg, but he doesn't quite make it. If the story line sounds familiar, it should -- Hershel's leg amputation from the season three premiere was mostly based on Allen's story.
Tyler Chase (The Between, Simple Things) is Allen's son, who in the comics was considerably younger and was charged with caring for Allen after his amputation. Having lost both his parents, the damaged boy kills his twin brother thinking he'd reanimate and be OK. Carl (naturally!) takes him out.
Cherie Dvorak (The Shield) is Allen's outspoken and opinionated wife who, after the group settles in to Wiltshire Estates, fails to last long when the property is overrun by its previous (and now dead) inhabitants. She also doesn't last long on the AMC series, either, having already been bitten in the season three midseason finale.
PHOTOS: The 'Dead' and the Red: 'The Walking Dead Cast in Character and on the Red Carpet
Whether the AMC version of the characters will follow their comic book counterparts, of course, remains to be seen.
"They're definitely in the mix," Kirkman tells THR. "We're expecting great things from them, but no one is safe on The Walking Dead. They're definitely there in the prison and they're going to be there for a while so we'll see how long they last."
Adds Mazzara: "We'll find out that they are the remnants of a much larger group of survivors that has been whittled down, and so they're desperate to find a place to stay.
"We'll find out that those people have their own agenda as well," he adds. "Introducing Tyreese complicates Rick's life, but we'll find out that Tyreese has a complicated story as well. This Tyreese story and these new characters, it's a significant part of the entire part of the back half of the season."
What did you think of Tyreese and company? Hit the comments with your thoughts. The Walking Dead returns Feb. 10 on AMC.

For Jerry Brown, who has engaged in a series of thorny fights since taking the helm as governor for the second time, you would think enough is enough.
He's pushed through a highly-disputed high-speed rail project, started a high-stakes campaign to convince voters to approve tax hikes, and engaged public employee unions and fellow democrats in a challenge to rein in the cost of state pensions.
Now Brown is opening yet another front - this time in a battle that could re-ignite the state's age-old water wars.
As he bluntly put it, referring to his advanced age, "I want to get s---- done."
On Wednesday, along with U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, Brown launched what many think is the equivalent of another civil war in the state, pitting north against south.
Brown is championing a massive plan to build twin 37 mile long tunnels under the Sacramento Delta.
The $14 billion dollar project, to be bankrolled by large water agencies like the Metropolitan Water District, would be used to transport huge amounts of water from the Sacramento River to the San Joaquin County city of Tracy. The water would then flow by aqueduct to thirsty customers in Southern California.
If all this sounds familiar, then yes, you've lived in the state for awhile. The plan is an echo of a bitterly-fought - and lost - battle to do something very similar in 1982, when Brown was wrapping up his first two terms as governor.
At that time, voters rejected the so-called Peripheral Canal after an epic campaign that pitted Northern California against Southern California.
There are differences this time.
Besides moving water, the current tunnel plan is also meant to repair the badly-damaged and neglected Delta, which serves as a crucial filter for much of the state's drinking water.
Levees have corroded, seawater has intruded, and some fish species have become endangered in the region.
Groups like the Sierra Club acknowledge the need for repairs, but believe the tunnel plan is part of a water grab that could leave the Delta high and dry. Other opponents, including some Delta growers fear the disruption caused by building two underground tunnels that would measure 33 feet in diameter.
But Brown argues, as he has with high speed rail, that it's time for "big ideas" to accommodate the state's future needs.
His father, Gov. Pat Brown, was given credit for engineering massive infrastructure projects, such as highways and the California Aqueduct, in the 1950's and '60's.
It's a vastly different time from 60 years ago, when legislators actually worked together and there wasn't the widespread cynicism about government that we see today.
But Jerry Brown seems determined to pursue a legacy similar to that of his father, concluding this bit of unfinished business three decades after losing the fight the first time around.
But he'll have to hunker down.
Among the long list of things California loves to fight over, water is near the top of the list.

Lois Lowry's Blog
Maine days
I head back to Cambridge tomorrow, to prepare for the memorial celebration next weekend (friends coming from as far away as Minnesota, California, Florida!) but it has been a lovely few days here, with friends for dinner Thursday night...
Here is a rhubarb bread pudding which was delicious for dessert. (Dinner was baked salmon stuffed with fennel).
And my brother is with me. (Here he is):
Everyone should have a meticulous brother who likes to fix things. Martin was a great guy and a wonderful companion but not Mr. Fixit. (My friend Susan refers to such men affectionately as "Jews with Tools") Jon has busied himself at the Cambridge house and now, in Maine, he has taken on the problem of the old butcher block in the kitchen and its many years of accumulated crud. After solvents, sandpaper, elbow grease, and mineral oil:
Not to mention the new flat screen TV that son Ben and his partner Lori gave me for my birthday, installed here at the farm...Ben left me instructions for several remotes which left me whimpering. No problem, said Jon. He has now combined everything on one remote so that even I, when I am alone here, which I will be for most of this summer, will be able to find things and watch things and mute things. Or so I hope and assume.
(But could my brother recall—and sing—the words to all the old Gilbert & Sullivan operettas, the way Martin could? Nope, no way)
My 7 year old reads with a flashlight every night. She sleeps in the top bunk and the room is mostly dark for her little sister to go to sleep. We don't (at least not too often) tell her to turn off her flashlight and go to sleep, but she does use one every night.
I don't remember ever doing so as a child, but I don't think anyone ever forced me to stop reading either. It seems like a fun thing to do though and I'm glad my daughter has the opportunity. I'm not sure why, but I am.
I never read under the covers with a flashlight, either, because my parents were extremely stingy with batteries (probably in part because they did not want me up until 2 a.m. reading every night.)
My kids have done this, though. The result is that I can never EVER find flashlights when I need them because my children make off with them and then lose them under their beds.
(In the summer months they can just read by daylight. It doesn't get dark until almost 10 p.m. in MN in June and July.)
I think you may be onto something! Actually...I have read under the covers with a flashlight far more as an adult--prior to the invention (or at least, my purchase) of the booklight, and even AFTER the booklight (because I never can seem to find it!). And you are so right--it is absolutely the most uncomfortable way to read, especially when you have to wear glasses! Blow the cover off this in true 60 Minutes style!
My parents were anal about bedtimes, and I absolutely read under the covers with a flashlight. I swear. Really. I don't remember it being that hard if you were lying on your side.
Nowadays, if I wake up in the middle of the night and don't want to wake The Man, I read with an LLBean headlamp, and it's true that would have been much, much easier.
I remember *trying* to as a kid, because it seemed like I ought to. It got stuffy in a hurry under there. From then on if I read with a flashlight, I did it outside the covers! (I grew up in earthquake country, so each of us had a flashlight under the bed in case we had an earthquake at night. I'm not sure it makes sense, but it's what we did.)
If I did, it was because I read about other nerdy kids in books doing it. More likely: I opened my curtains and strained my eyes. I was one of those kids who gave grown-ups headaches because I would read by the tiniest glimmer of light (driving home from my grandmother's late at night on the dark highway, I would hold my book open and stare at it till a car passed us and I could read a snippet by the headlights.)
I never read in bed with a flashlight. I'm sure some did and others might just imagine they did. In my family, we all read in our respective beds every night. When I was learning to read, I'd call into my parents' bedroom and spell a word and my dad would call back to me with the word and we all kept on reading. I do remember walking around the house while I read and I bumped into furniture sometimes - ouch!
Dear Lois,
I did indeed read with a flashlight as my bedtime was 9:00. My mother confirms this is true and that she had to keep confiscating it. I did not however read under the covers (perhaps that is why I was caught so often). I turned on my side and lifted the pillow ever so slightly to position the flashlight and help to keep the book open.
You are one of my favorite authors of all time! I love reading snippets of your thoughts. Thanks for sharing them with your readers.
I never read with a flashlight, but I may have tried to use the streetlight directly outside my window. We have them around in case of emergencies like earthquakes (we're in New Zealand but not Christchurch thankfully), so my 6 year old uses one. It doesn't occur to her to use it under the covers though; she sits up in bed reading with it lying next to the book, shining onto the page.
When I was five or six, we could not afford a flashlight, or books. We kept a sealed box of Encyclopedia Britannica tomes that had been sent to us by my father from England, but we were not allowed to touch them in fear that we'd tear them up. Nevertheless, we (actually it was just me) would go under the bed with an inch-size piece of a candle (!!!) at night, pry open the box, unwrap a book quietly ( they came sealed in cellophane) and thumb through the pages in awe. Mostly looking at the pictures. The books were written in English and I could only read Spanish.
I never read with a flashlight either, because like you said I couldn't get my hands on one. However, I definitely read when I was supposed to be sleeping nearly every night; I just waited a few minutes and then turned on the large lamp beside my bed, somehow believing that my parents wouldn't notice the light streaming under the door (they almost always did). Then again, a large floor lamp is a lot harder to confiscate than a flashlight, so maybe it wasn't completely crazy...
I don't think I read with a flashlight under the covers as a child either. I had a lamp and don't remember being told to turn off the lights while reading every night. I guess because my mother was also reading in her bed. I have used a flashlight to read by as an adult. Very hard to balance the flashlight and hold the book at the same time. I prefer my book light; when I can find it.
I am at summer camp in Wisconsin with my son's Boy Scout troop and have been reading Hunger Games by flashlight. I can only muster a couple of pages before I fall asleep but I remember reading by flashlight as a kid. My parents had a strict lights out policy - or at least my dad did... I remmeber stuffing a towell under the crack in the door and still getting caught. One night I thought I was clever and used the red filter and you guessed it I got caught and had my flashlight confiscated. I don't think it was about the reading as much as it was I should have been sleeping and it was a control thing... but yeah, I read by flashlight as a kid, and still do. I am just grateful for the camping flashlight you can strap to your head!
Reading with my whole body completely under the covers always got too hot. I used to lie on my side with the covers up to my shoulders, place the book just under the covers, and train the flashlight on it that way. The covers functioned more like a giant lampshade than a tent.
I used a flashlight. Before I started staying up late to watch Dick Cavett, I was staying up late to read. It was a horribly uncomfortable thing to do, but seemed necessary. We went to midnight bookstore parties for two of the Harry Potter releases, and my son started reading by flashlight as soon as we got in the car; then we'd set up a tent in the living room and he'd continue reading by flashlight in the tent.

Since the 1930s, women have had an important role in documenting, preserving and celebrating Florida's diverse cultural heritage. March is Women's History Month, and in this blog we will be recognizing some of these women.
Eatonville native Zora Neale Hurston documented turpentine workers in Cross City, Florida, as part of the Works Progress Administration's Federal Writers' Project. Through her essay "Turpentine" and field recordings, Hurston captured unique, first-hand accounts of day-to-day life in the turpentine camps and the traditions that were an integral part of the workers' culture.
At the same time Hurston was conducting fieldwork in Florida, Sarah Gertrude Knott founded both the National Folk Festival and the National Folk Festival Association in 1934; and Hurston served as one of the earliest advisors for these endeavors. In 1952, under contract from the Stephen Foster Memorial Commission, Knott organized the first Florida Folk Festival and formed the Florida Folk Festival Association. She also served as director of the first two Florida Folk Festivals in 1953 and 1954.
Succeeding Knott as director of the Florida Folk Festival from 1954-1965 was "Cousin" Thelma Boltin from Gainesville. In addition to sharing her gifts as a storyteller, organizer and emcee, Cousin Thelma—a title earned from her familial rapport with festival participants—scouted the state for folk artists to recruit for the festival. With the help of Barbara Beauchamp, Boltin established the Florida Folk Festival in White Springs as a valuable institution for sharing and celebrating the state's varied traditions.
The success of the Florida Folk Festival brought the Stephen Foster Memorial Center a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts, and the Florida Folklife Program was instituted in 1976. Dr. Peggy Bulger was Florida's first state folklorist, founding and administering the Florida Folklife Program from 1976-1989. She created a large body of fieldwork which laid the foundations for the Florida Folklife Collection and instituted valuable outreach programs, such as apprenticeships, educational videos and publications, workshops and exhibits. Dr. Bulger went on to serve as the senior program officer for the Southern Arts Federation and later as director of the Library of Congress' American Folklife Center.
With the establishment of the Florida Folklife Program came significant contributions from many other women. Working alongside Peggy Bulger was Brenda McCallum, who was instrumental in documenting and establishing contacts in Florida's communities. She also played an important role in developing the Florida Folklife Program Archive, and today the American Folklore Society awards a prize in her honor to institutions and individuals working with folklife collections. Tina Bucuvalas served as the state folklorist from 1996-2009, though her work in the Florida Folklife Program dates back to 1986 with the Miami-Dade Folklife Survey. She currently serves as curator of arts and historical resources for the City of Tarpon Springs, and recently edited The Florida Folklife Reader.
The list of women who have been integral to the research, documentation and teaching of Florida's folk traditions continues with Lillian Saunders, Merri Belland, Doris Dyen, Nancy Nusz, Riki Saltzman, Jan Rosenberg, Debbie Fant, Andrea Graham, Laurie Sommers, Mary Anne McDonald, Teresa Hollingsworth and Betsy Peterson. As part of the Florida Folklife Collection, the recordings in the podcast below provide a unique look into some of the methods, philosophies and motivations behind the work of folklorists.
This podcast features songs, stories, speeches and interviews from Zora Neale Hurston, Sarah Gertrude Knott, Thelma Boltin, Peggy Bulger and Doris Dyen.
