Acoustic Monitoring Cures Slug-Pulling Woes
"Historically our yield of good parts shipped had averaged 99.8 percent," says company president Jim Cote, describing his firm's relatively low ppm on stampings for the semiconductor and electronic industries. "So we set out to capture as much of that remaining 0.2 percent as possible. Our parts are so small that relying on operator inspection seemed unlikely to succeed.
"Of the few customer returns we were
With 28 employees, Co-planar operates 22 Bruderer presses, from 10 to75 tons. While some high-speed stampers have struggled to ward off foreign competition in recent years, Cote says that quoting activity has been high for Co-planar, and the firm has even managed to take in work that had left the United States for supposedly greener pastures in Asia.
"We recently had a customer transfer 12 tools to us after pulling the job from an Asian stamper," Cote says. "Pricing and quality were satisfactory, but service and delivery were not dependable."
To make sure slug pulling didn't prevent Co-planar from delivering anything but 100-percent good-quality parts, Cote chose acoustic-emission monitoring after viewing the technology at a tradeshow in Germany in 2006. What he viewed was the model PK4U press-monitoring system from Brankamp Process Automation Inc., Cambridge, MA. Acoustic sensors mount on each corner of the stripper plate and as the die runs in the press, acoustic signals route to the monitor. The monitor immediately recognizes out-of-ordinary acoustic pulses generated by cracks, slugs or unejected scrap and breaks in tooling, and immediately shuts down the press.
Co-planar currently operates the PK4U monitor on one press and one set of tooling, and has three more systems planned for installation this year. Success with its first installation was immediate and impressive.
"That tool, which stamps reed switches for the electronic industry," says Cote, "runs at 400 strokes/min. and generates about 50 million parts per year. Material is thin—0.007 in.—and the parts are tiny. The introduction of a slug 0.012 in. square will stop the press, and thanks to the Brankamp system we have gotten that job down to zero ppm."
Eventually Cote plans to install the PK4U acoustic-emission monitoring system on 14 presses. "The investment—$15,000 to $17,000 per controller, which includes sensors for one set of tools—is easily justified," he says.

Carl Icahn is using options as his primary weapon of choice in the titanic battle over Herbalife.
According to new filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the billionaire investor bought calls for the bulk of his 13 percent ownership in the company.The use of options limits risk while providing major leverage.
Rather than purchasing all 11 million shares of his stake outright, Icahn bought calls at a fraction of the cost. Those options lock in his purchase price of the stock no matter how high it may rise. And if Herbalife shares tank, he will lose only the premium he paid for those calls, rather than the full price he would have paid to purchase the stock directly.

Suppose I'm to live in France, working there. How big a vocabulary shall I have, or, how many words shall I know, in order to be able to survive there? I know this question is a bit vague, but please just try give some ball-park number? 2000? 5000? 10000?
What I meant with "survive":
When I first went abroad from China, my English was barely enough to "survive". For example, I sometimes forgot to use "stamp", instead I will ask post office officers "How can I buy some post ticket?"
So this survive, is just to live for basic needs, buying apparels, going to a restaurant, rent a flat, take transportations, and of course, work.
As I was just a VB programmer, working is also manageable with a limited vocabulary — I'm not a salesman or product owner that need talk to customers everyday.
Hope this explains my "concept" of "survive"…

Murray Hill & New Providence, N.J., U.S., October 6, 2013 – Addressing the needs of wholesale bakeries, Linde North America is showcasing a range of state-of-the-art cryogenic technology for precision temperature and process-quality control before and/or after baking. Linde process experts will be available during the International Baking Industry Expo (IBIE), October 6-9, at the Las Vegas Convention Center, booth #6630.
Linde offers technology solutions that can make a positive impact on process quality across the baking operation, from mixing to final packaging. The process solutions use high-purity, food-grade carbon dioxide (CO2) or nitrogen (N2), and span: flour and dry-ingredient chilling systems, mixer chilling systems, continuous chill or freeze processing systems, and modified atmosphere packaging systems.
"Wholesale bakeries know they must pay attention to process quality year round, and especially when production increases or the service area is expanded and places new demands on shelf-life," says Ed Cordiano, Linde program manager for Bakery & Prepared Foods. "Linde can build greater control into processes for higher repeatability even at high volumes. This leads to more consistent quality and better freshness out of the package – things that keep retail bakeries, restaurants and consumers coming back."
Coles Quality Foods, Inc., for example, recently installed a Linde flour chilling system at its North Liberty, Iowa, facility. The system uses a special CO2 injection system to control the flour temperature flowing into the mixer to +/- 1 degree F of the set point. This improves temperature consistency at the mixer -- as well as downstream processes for Coles' signature twisted bread products. In addition, Coles also utilizes a cryogenic spiral freezer, an efficient, high-quality freezing system to meet demands across their product lines.
"The importance of brand quality and a better understanding of the technology are leading more bakeries to consider cryogenic solutions," Cordiano says. Cryogenic tunnels and spiral freezers, for example, can freeze high volumes of baked goods at a precise rate which protects the internal cell structure for better taste and texture profile. Crust freezing also protects toppings and the surface quality of breads and other baked goods for a more consistent appearance. "Bakery managers are often surprised by the difference in the quality of their finished products, especially when switching from mechanical freezing and ice chilling methods."
System Optimization
Cordiano says process engineering can make a difference in operating costs, and Linde works with bakeries to optimize process parameters. In fact, the in-line chilling system can be validated for customer-specific ingredient(s) prior to installation. Through joint efforts between Linde and Shick, trials can be conducted at Shick's test facility in Kansas City, MO. And he emphasizes that new cryogenic chillers and freezers introduced over the past few years "provide efficiencies never seen before in our industry." For example, the new Cryoline® XF spiral freezer features a patented cross-flow air design for more consistent temperatures across the belt. Baked items travel through the spiral freezer in a compartment shaped like a cylinder rather than a box. "The new design improves heat transfer efficiency, so the freezer can improve throughput by 10 percent or more, in a footprint smaller than that of a traditional box spiral," he says.
Linde offers a comprehensive range of food-grade gas technology for bakery processes (see attached Fact Sheet). New systems can often be completed in a matter of days, and typically include supply lines and venting as well as system optimization and training. Once a bakery implements CO2 or N2 for one process, it is easier to capitalize on cryogenic solutions for other baking processes.
"More bakeries now recognize the value of cryogenics and look to invest in the technology as an efficient platform for solving several needs throughout their plant," Cordiano says.
The Linde Food Team performs in-plant assessments and works with bakeries to develop optimal process solutions. For more information, see Linde (www.lindefood.com), or call: 800-755-9277.

The French army is often called la Grande Muette, or "the Great Silent." The war in Mali confirms the French military's well-deserved reputation of being secretive about front-line actions. "Locking the information is more in the culture of the French army than of the U.S. army," says Maurice Botbol, director of La Lettre du Continent. In the first two weeks of military operations against Islamist militant groups in Mali, the French army has released only a blurry video of an air attack at an undisclosed location.
International journalists who have flown to Mali are kept far from the front lines. No journalist has been embedded with the Special Forces that have carried out the first assaults. Most reporters who receive the authorization to accompany the troops are limited to coverage of marginal stories, such as military preparations on the Bamako airport or the "progress of the troops to the North," very far from the battlefields.
The roads to the North are blocked by a succession of checkpoints manned by the Malian army. "They are very nervous," says Gérard Grizbec, a reporter with the public service TV channel France 2. "They have received stern orders from the French forces: 'Don't let yourself being overtaken by journalists.' They usually ask us where we're going, check our passport, and request an accreditation of the Malian Communications Ministry."
And then they often turn the media away.
"All the reporters that travel to the North come back frustrated and furious to Bamako," complains Jean-Paul Mari, special envoy for the newsweekly Le Nouvel Observateur. "This is a war without images and without facts." On January 22, the French channel i>Télé devoted a whole report to the difficulty of reporting. "We try to outwit the Malian army," says its editor-in- chief, Lucas Menget. "It is like a cat-and-mouse game." And up to now, it is a losing game for the press.
French journalists have been protesting against this blackout and, despite the dangers of reporting without army protection, have asked to be allowed closer to the front. Still, the specter of abduction looms over the press corps. "I often think about what happened to Hervé Ghesquière and Stéphane Taponier," says Hugues Huet, special correspondent for the French public service channel France 3. Huet was referring to the two French TV journalists held captive by the Taliban for 547 days in 2010 and 2011 in Afghanistan.
The news director of France Télévisions, Thierry Thuillier, who had to manage the hostage situation, has adopted a strict policy. "The absolute rule is not to cross the front line. It is out of question to try to reach the rebel groups because French journalists are potential targets," he told the daily Le Figaro. The French army has also been underlining the dangers of abduction and has warned against the adverse effects it could have on the operations and safety of French soldiers.
But many journalists claim the right to assess--and accept--risk on their own. "The military have abandoned the zero-casualty tale," says Mari. "The tale of zero risk for journalists should also be dropped."
Others openly express their "suspicions" about the "culture of secrecy" they perceive as surrounding the conflict in Mali. "Do they want to hide something?" asks Sylvain Cherkaoui, a photographer on assignment for the daily Le Monde. Abuses and summary executions have allegedly been committed by the Malian army in some of the towns that have been reconquered. These reports are taken seriously in Paris. If such abuses are confirmed and repeated, they might undermine the support of the French public for the military intervention.
The French operation in Mali demonstrates again that truth is the first casualty of war, but it's also a reminder that no military force can control the message completely. A photograph by AFP's Issouf Sanogo, showing a French soldier wearing a skull mask that emulates a character in the video game "Call of Duty," has forced the French army to come out of the woods and condemn the soldier's behavior as "unacceptable."
"The army is taking a big risk in not showing images," warns Carl Meeus of Figaro magazine. "In any case, some images will inevitably circulate and this will create a risk of boomerang because we well know that a war is never clean."

Sorry about the delay in response.
I'm playing catch-up after finishing up my course of study.
Yes, living on Maui is great, but we've had so many fires on the island in the last few years. I feel like I should invest in a boat, since there's really nowhere to go should the wind blow in this direction.
Ah, so you know how things are 'round these here parts. :) I've been here for about 7 years, but really itching to just up and ruuuun, lol.
Thank you for the greeting(: I'm good, trying to figure out this site still.
Thank you for the welcome, I appreciate that. I am doing well today, just navigating my way around the site.
Thanks, doing fine. Hope you are as well!
hope i am on the right boat, but the capitain seems very nice
thanks for the welcome greetings
Thank you for the welcome Brent. I'm very happy to be among like thinkers. I grew up in the great state of Georgia and I am constantly inundated with religion from total strangers on a daily basis. I want to be with the intelligent people and this website is a breath of fresh air. Smells good.
Thank you very much for the warm welcome, I'm doing great :)
Thanks, sorry i have not been around much, work, kids, illnesses... life! :)
Thank you very much, I'm doing very well and I hope you are too
Thank you Brent Feeney! I am doing just fine. :)
I have a Facebook Group for Universal Temple of Common Sense, all freethinkers are welcome to join.... we are a "liberal" bunch though. ;)
Thank you for the welcome!
Thank you for the warm welcome!
Thanks for the welcome. xoxo
Thank you for the warm welcome. Hope you're doing well, too.
Hi Brent,
O.K., so I want to increase my social life, so I am going to talk like I just met you at some social gathering, because this online communication stuff is still fairly new to me. So, in response to your greeting, I would try to learn about what else we might have in common, besides this website, and not in common.
I have never been to Saint Louis. I have visited my cousin in either Columbia, or Jefferson City, (Jeff City as she calls it). It has been so long ago, and she has gone back and forth between the two a couple of times, so I do not remember exactly which one I was in. I have been to the Ozarks once. I rained and was flooding that year, (1986 or 7). How long have you lived in Saint Louis?
Thank you for the comment on my profile. you are much appreciated for welcoming me.

There are some brands that make me say "If I was a man, I would definitely wear this!" and there are some brands that make me say "If I was a designer, I would definitely design something like this".
DSquared2 is the brand that makes me say both! A brand that makes every men cool & stylish... Big applause to Dean and Dan Caten who are famous for their eclectic, sport-luxe style.
The collection itself features an oversize designs, mix of jean & leather, colourful touches with details (red and burgundy mostly), scholar look, and a great winter line for men! But always with a beanie!
Bad boys with cool looks!
"He's a bad boy and it's time to pay his dues. On the inside, confusion ruled by discipline with a glimpse into insanity. It's a thug's life, be tough, stay on the straight and narrow until parole."
Dsquared2 takes inspiration for its fall winter 2014 collection from the unique world of a correctional institute. The unconventional influence lends motifs, colours and attire of life behind bars, via the uniforms of the inmates and those who patronize them: prison guards, psychiatrists, priests and lawyers.

Up untill last summer i wasnt having to much problems and once i hit that magical 3K ballast mark my prop started to show its weakness. If i was running a surf wake apx 2200 lbs plus people i couldnt get over 15mph, why would you want to? If you need to hit the marina or drop someone off at the doc but you had your wave all dialed in, you dont want to drain and refill. Just put everyone on the opposite side and roll out. Well i couldnt as the prop was maxed, she was giving all she had.
I talked to Spencer at wake makers and asked what he thought was the best prop. This year im running nearly 4K ballast plus people and i dont want to hear prop growl, vibrations, or have hole shot issues.
Joking he said ill hook you up with the Diesel of props. This thing pulls like your truck does. Its got a little lower top end of course but the power in unreal in a prop, and its actually smaller in diamiter for better trailer clearence. I personally dont have that issue as i had my bunks all raised the first year.
I got this prop and installed it.
The ACME 1617 4 Blade propeller offers the most aggressive holeshot and acceleration for heavily weighted boats, but in a slightly smaller diameter for boats that have clearance issues.
If you use your boat entirely for wakesurfing and wakeboarding, and have added a significant amount of additional ballast, the ACME 1617 propeller will restore your boats acceleration, speed holding and fuel economy.
Diameter: 14"
Pitch: 13.75"
Cup: .105
Rotation: Left Hand
Shaft: 1 1/8"
Water test time. Leaving the doc, its super quite, hit it up to 11mph to see what surf speed noise, nothing silent just engine noise. I was feeling pretty good about this prop.
I slowed down to idle then punched it. Boat jumped out of the water on plane in about 5 seconds and was doing 28 before i even looked at the speedo. Wow not bad but the boat is empty.
We loaded up the nose and some rear weight for wake boarding and off we went. I took it easy on the pull ups as i knew this prop was stought. I got out there and pull ups were great, but still nothing really different then the OJ prop just ran a lot quiter.
Yesterday was the real turning point of this prop.
We had the surf wave dialed in and were surfing. Claudia gets off work comes tot he lake, text me shes at the doc. Were across the lake, so i get back in the boat, we all sit on the opposite side, were running axp 2500lbs of ballast for surfing. Wake plate down and we hit it, 10 comes fast, then 15, then 25 and then 30MPH smooth no problem for this prop at all. Me and Steve were shocked as the OJ wont go over 15. We slowed down to 25 as thats teh cruising speed i prefer. Ran over to the doc and picked her up. Enjoyed the rest of the day. This prop is simply amazing. You dont even realize the power of it till you weight the boat, its as if when you weight it the prop knows it and really comes to life.
Then came the last final test, 2 days on the lake both days were 4hours on the engine. This is very average for us and im pretty consistent 1/2 tank a fuel a day in the boat, as we will up every time we go out. 20 gallons a day average over 3 summers, when we goto the Hagg.
Both days it only took 14 gallons to fill up. Thats a 6 gallon savings over normal and at 20 bucks a day savings that means every 3rd time out is free LOL compared to our normal cost. Now i know this is only the first week, ill be keeping tabs. A savings of apx 1 gallons per hour of running is very respectable.

Mike, did you ever to a top speed run?2006 Supra 20 - Sold

The best part is i was running 3K ballast and 5 adults at 35mph. This prop is a beast man. My average fuel consumption has gone down as well. I was averaging 5-5.7 gallons per engine hour
We averaged 4-4.5 gallons per engine hour. Only 1 gallon an hour savings but thats about 10 bucks a day in fuel we are saving. That adds up at 30 a week and 120 a month average savings, that means this prop will pay for its self by this time next year just in fuel savings.
Over the 4 day weekend we added 16hours to the boatMalo <--- Means--Evil or Mean One. This explains a lot.

Mike, very good review, and after reading Engine nuts comments about reaching max rpm with full load it sounds like you have found the best prop for your use. and that gas saving is amazingHey, Its Moomba time

I had the Acme 1617 installed this winter and finally was able to try it out today. We were running 1100s in the rear lockers and had the center tank and 750 ibs full. We also had 6 people in the boat. I was very disappointed. I am not sure if we had too much weight in the back or what the deal was but there was minimal improvement if any over the old 537 that came with the boat. Anyone have any thoughts on what I may be missing? I was expecting the boat to get up and go like it would with minimal weight. We were not able to get on plain. I dumped some ballast and was finally able to get the boat up to 20. Are my expectations too high or is the prop not right?2014 Moomba LSV

This rather funky looking MUFE Flash Colors Palette was a Christmas present from the Mr.
Its basically a plastic palette of 12 Flash Colors (MUFE's full coverage, cream colors for face, eyes, lips and cheeks.) The best colors are all in the palette!:
Gold 004 (metallic gold), Coral 002 (vibrant coral), Turquoise 000 (light turquoise), Fuchsia 005 (bright fuchsia pink), Yellow 013 (vibrant yellow), Brown 023 (dark brown), Silver 003 (metallic silver), White 010 (pure white), Red 017 (bright red), Bright Blue 014 (bright royal blue), Leaf Green 008 (bright green), and Black 011 (pure black).
So really you can mix together nearly any color in the rainbow if you are in that way inclined. You can also use the colors neat – for SFX or just for something a bit different:
Let's get it out of the way – this stuff creases on the eyes. I have another individual pot colour somewhere, and it will, rather quickly look all oily on the lids, but it is the perfect base. You can also set it with a translucent powder to set it.
The gold and silver in here reminds me of Illamasqua's gorgeous liquid metals…same amount of pigmentation but of course if you get it in this palette, you will save yourself some money…
There's two sides to the palette – The bottom flash colour looks like a mould of someones boob.
Swatches (one swipe only):
See how pigmented it is? Gorgeous.
Note: Certain colours aren't recommended for the eyes – red, coral, pink and the blue is not recommended for the lips. There's an ingredient in red eyeshadow which can irritate some peoples eyes. Not everybody's but the disclaimer is there.
The Mr paid £65 for this and I will never hear the end of it. If only he knew how much make up costs us, eh, ladies?
The US price (on Sephora) is $95. As of today (13.01.10) $95 is about £58 so its not too much of a mark up.
Not sure how much you get in each little cube, but I doubt a normal gal will get through it in less than 2 years – probably longer unless you are coco the clown.
Ladies going to IMATS London will probably have a chance to see, try and buy this at a discounted price too, but its fab, really pigmented, useful and just a nice thing to have in your collection.

Hey there! So we've been trying Sha 10 Hc by a week now and i think we're going pretty good, however i think we're kinda slow on boss in ph2.
Sadly i don't have any log but i'm pretty sure that adds are slowing the process of bringing the boss to low % hp.
Just to give a rough idea our best attempt so far is with boss at 22% when the 2nd wave of 5 adds is coming, looking by videos it should be a lil lower (something like 18ish%?).
Maybe the problem is that i'm putting to much dps on adds? (i'm raid leader and i tell ppl if going on adds or not), so i'm looking for some advices on which dpsers are best for the job.
Our setup :
War + monk tank (monk takes all naked and afraid in ph2).
Monk + Rshaman healers.
Ele shaman (me), arcane , frost DK, kitty druid, Spriest and surv hunter.
So far what i'm doing with adds is :
1 add : only dots
2 adds: dots + ele
3 adds : dots + ele + Spriest + surv
4 adds : dots + ele + Spriest + surv + DK
5 adds : every1 but the mage
6 adds : ?? we never reached them
We're also breaking all huddles but it comes early is causes adds to get in the middle so slow that usually i need to put an additional DPs on adds.
Are we doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance.

In Touch with Prairie Living
December 2001
By Michael M. Miller
The Germans from Russia Heritage Collection (GRHC) at the NDSU Libraries in Fargo reaches out to prairie families and former Dakotans. In various ways, it affirms the heritage of the Germans from Russia as an important part of the northern plains culture.
Two persons of German-Russian heritage are serving important positions during this challenging time in American history: 1) U.S. Senate Majority Leader, Senator Tom Daschle, a native of Aberdeen, SD, who had ancestors to the German village of Kleinliebental; and 2) Lt. Gen. Charles Wald, a native of Minot, ND, who had ancestors to the Kutschurgan villages, all located today near Odessa, Ukraine. Lt. Gen. Wald was assigned to the Pentagon in 1997. He is commander of the 9th Air Force, which covers some two dozen countries from East Africa across the Arabian Peninsula to Pakistan.
GRHC and the Germans from Russia Cultural Preservation Foundation will be sponsoring the Arizona Premiere featuring the new videotape documentary series, Grandmas Recipes: Germans from Russia Food Preparations and Memories. The event is Saturday, March 2, 2002, 9:30 am-11 am, at the Civic Center Library Theater, 3839 Civic Center Blvd., Scottsdale, AZ. The North Dakota Picnic is Sunday, March 3, 2002, 10 am-3 pm, Pioneer Park, Mesa, AZ. Contact me for further information.
Grandmas Recipes videotape is available from the GRHC. See these persons cooking in their kitchens and reminiscing: Millie Doll Hauck, Dickinson, ND; Helen Gefroh Fischer, Hague Cafe, ND; Bernadine Lang Kuhn, Owatonna, MN; Erica Lang Wangler, Bismarck, ND; and Alma Janke Schott, Gackle, ND.
We have two new, re-designed, color-coded 11 by 17 inch laminated maps of the former German villages of South Russia. These maps include German villages of Bessarabia, Crimea, Dobrudscha, Beresan District, Kutschurgan District, Liebental District, Mennonite, and Hutterite. Ancestors of the Germans from Russia community in the Dakotas immigrated from these villages in South Russia. For further information, contact GRHC or visit: library.ndsu.edu/grhc/order/maps/maps3.html. The two maps were completed in 1999, with revisions in 2001. These maps have been popular at GRHC outreach events clearly identifying locations and names of the homeland villages.
The GRHC co-sponsors the Cultural Heritage Tour: Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Alsace, France, September 1223, 2002. Tour members will visit the ancestral area of many German-Russians in Alsace and southern Germany. The tour includes: Stuttgart, Strasbourg, Lucerne, Salzburg, and Munich including the Oktoberfest. To receive tour information details, visit the website at http://library.ndsu.edu/grhc/outreach/journey/tours/culture. Limited space is available for the Journey to the Homeland Tour (May 26-June 7, 2002) sponsored by the NDSU Libraries. The tour will include Odessa, Ukraine, and the nearby former Bessarabian, Black Sea, and Crimean German villages; Stuttgart, Germany, and Alsace, France.
In the new biography published by GRHC, Why are you still alive?: A German in the Gulag by Georg Hildebrandt, Heidelberg, Germany, Hildebrandt writes about his life story and the suffering endured by the Ukrainian Germans. Many Germans died in Siberian detention camps during Stalins dictatorship. His biography is a shocking document of the Germans in the former USSR. He documents what happened with amazing memory and precision. Hildebrandt celebrated his 90th birthday in July, 2001.
GRHCs new book, Well Meet Again in Heaven: Germans in the Soviet Union Write Their American Relatives: 1925 - 1937," by Ronald J. Vossler, includes many letters translated from German to English including these family names: Boschee, Dockter, Eckman, Feiger, Goehring, Graf, Heupel, Hochhalter, Ketterling, Kirschmann, Kramer, Lang, Morlock, Opp, Rudolf, Rueb, Schauer, Speidel, Stock, Viel, and Wanner. The family names clearly show a direct link, one of old love and also of family ties, between the Dakota pioneers and those unfortunate family members who remained behind in Russia.
The award-winning documentary videotapes The Germans from Russia: Children of the Steppe, Children of the Prairie (1999), and Schmeckfest: Food Traditions of the Germans from Russia (2000), continue to be well received throughout North America. Each videotape includes 20 minutes of bonus video footage, not shown in the one-hour documentary. To secure the videotapes, contact PPTV at 1-800-359-6900.
For further information about Germans from Russia heritage, donations to the Collection, including family histories, Arizona events, videotape documentaries, tours, German-Russian cookbooks; and GRHCs publications including books, contact Michael M. Miller, NDSU Libraries, PO Box 5599, Fargo, ND 58105-5599 (Tel: 701-231-8416; E-mail: email@example.com; GRHC website: http://library.ndsu.edu/grhc).

Zach Miller has over 10 years experience in business, with a Masters degree from the UK. He is a B2B Expert lead generation expert who helps business owners and professionals fill their calendars each day with hot, warm, and future leads. Mojo has developed a 100% Done For You System that awards its clients more selling conversations and eliminates time and money waisting cold calls and emails..
Zach MIller, B2B Lead Generation Manager for Mojo Global.com. presents a 100% Done for You Lead Generation System to affluent business owners and professionals all over the world.. The money-making system was developed by Mojo Global founders Ira Rosen and Cory Michael Sanchez, highly respected and award-winning marketers from Scottsdale, Arizona.
Miller stated "The 100% Done For You Lead Generations System gets both the owner and professional additional sales conversations each month. And the best part is that there is a team of highly skilled lead generation professionals working behind the scenes to produce hot, warm and in discussion leads. All our clients must do is schedule a phone, or in person appointment and close the deal. This program is tremendous time and money saver for those sharp enough to take advantage of it"
Mojo Global recognized that it is getting more difficult to get in front of targeted prospects for your products and services. The average business owner is bombarded with literally thousands of messages each day, making it very difficult to be seen and heard. And this trend will continue as technology improves.
According to MIller "Their solution to getting past the gatekeepers and getting in front of the decision makers is to use a proprietary system using a client LinkedIn account to introduce, invite and offer products and services with a daily stream of customized messages. This is a manual system and each client has a team working for him to get the leads."
At a recent networking conference , Ira Rosen, Mojo Global founder gave a short interview on the benefits of this 100% Done For You Lead Service. Listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUk1-CmEK-8
In addition, both Ira Rosen and Cory Michael Sanchez, Mojo Global founders noted that the reason they developed their Done For You Lead Generation Program around LinkedIn is because LinkedIn according to both Forbes and Fortune magazine is the most affluent source of leads on the planet. Average income 112k per year Facebook only 62k.
"If you did this yourself, it would take you four to six hours every day, and you would not get much else done" stated Miller .

AMD to sound Congo bongo for skinny laptops this month
CULV-rival out shortly
AMD's 'Congo' - the chip maker's answer to Intel's ungainly named Consumer Ultra-Low Voltage (CULV) platform - wil be out at the end of the month. Or maybe early next.
So say notebook manufacturer moles quoted by the ever ear-wigging DigiTimes. They add that the thin'n'light laptop platform will comprise AMD's Turion Neo X2 L625, and Athlon Neo X2 L325 and 335 processors.
The 'X2' indicates they're all dual-core parts, which should put Congo ahead of CULV, which predominantly features single-core chippage, though also includes the dual-core Core 2 Duo SU7300. Congo, in contrast, includes just one single-core part in its line up, the Athlon Neo MV-40.
Intel will push CULV as a primarily dual-core platform later in Q4.
All Congo CPUs connect to AMD's M780G integrated chipset.
Congo was due to launch in the summer, but with notebook demand down, AMD appears to have decided discretion was the better part of valour in this case. Even Intel has on just begun to really promote thin'n'light laptops, so AMD was probably wise to wait. ®

As the More is More Mom®, I'm all about…….more cupcakes! I tend to cook more than I bake because I am more of an eye-baller (dash of this, pinch of that) than a careful and precise measurer. Typically, I find the best reason to bake is to lick the bowl. However, recently I was asked to make cupcakes for my friend's surprise birthday party. I was thrilled because I believe a personal touch makes every event more special.
Since more of everything is always better, I decided to make two different flavors of cupcakes and frosting from scratch. While Betty Crocker is quite tasty, they were completely worth the little extra effort.
Festive Confetti Cupcakes with Creamy Frosting
Vanilla Cupcakes
This recipe makes 24 mini-cupcakes or 12 full size, but easily doubles or triples!
½ cup butter
1 egg
2 yolks
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
¾ cup sugar
½ cup heavy whipping cream
Pre-heat oven to 350°
Line muffin tins with paper or foil liners
Allow the butter and eggs to stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes
In a small bowl, combine;
Baking powder
This was a serious job, so I pulled out the big gun: my Kitchen Aid, though you can certainly use a large bowl and an electric hand mixer.
Beat butter on medium high speed until lightly whipped, approximately 30-45 seconds
Beat for approximately 1 minute
Egg yolks
Beat until well blended, scraping the sides occasionally
Alternating between the two, add;
Flour mixture
Heavy whipping cream
Continue to alternate until you have used all of the flour mixture and the cream, and your batter is just combined.
Scoop equal amounts of the batter into the cups, approximately 2/3 or ¾ of the way full.
Bake for approximately 15 minutes for the mini's and 20 for the full size, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
Creamy Frosting
This recipe makes approximately 3 cups
1 cup shortening
2 tsp vanilla
4 cups of confectioners' sugar
3-6 Tbsp milk
While I had the big old Kitchen Aid out, I decided to put it to work, though you can certainly use an electric hand mixer and a large mixing bowl.
Mix until well blended
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 Tbsp milk
Gradually, add the remaining confectioners' sugar
Gradually add enough milk to make the frosting a nice and spreadable consistency
I wanted colorful frosting which was easy to accomplish by adding a few drops of food coloring.
A special event requires attention to detail, which is why I used my fancy frosting tips and a pastry bag to create a decorative pattern on top of each cupcake. You can pick up a basic set of tips at most grocery stores and fancier tips at your local craft stores. A formal pastry bag is hardly necessary; simply snip off the corner of a baggie, fill with frosting and you're ready to create a masterpiece!
To create these festive confetti cupcakes, I grabbed food coloring, sprinkles and colorful canned frosting with built in tips to create the silly string effect. They were adorable!
Pretty Pastel Chocolate Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting
This recipe makes 48 mini's or 24 generous cupcakes.
Chocolate Cupcakes
¾ cup of butter
3 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
¾ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
2 cups sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1 ½ cups milk
Pre-heat oven to 350°
Line muffin tins with paper or foil liners
Allow the butter and eggs to stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes
In a medium bowl stir together;
Cocoa powder
Baking soda
Baking powder
Again, while I had the big old Kitchen Aid out, I decided to put it to work, though you can certainly use an electric hand mixer and a large mixing bowl.
Beat butter for 30-60 seconds, until nicely whipped
Sugar, ¼ cup at a time
Beat until combined and nice and fluffy
Eggs, one at a time
Beating until well combined
Alternately, add;
Flour mixture
Beat until fluffy
Fill muffin tins half-way to 2/3 full
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center is pulled out clean. Allow to cool on the wire racks until ready to frost.
Buttercream Frosting
1 ½ cups unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
¼ cup water
6 egg yolks, lightly beaten
2 Tbsp water or your favorite flavored liqueur
1 ½ tsp vanilla
Confectioners' sugar
Allow butter to stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes
In a medium saucepan, combine;
Bring to a boil and remove from heat
Whisk half of the sugar mixture into the egg yolks
Whisk the egg yolk mixture back into the remaining sugar mixture in the saucepan
Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat
Cook and stir for 2 minutes until smooth
Liqueur or water
Transfer the egg mixture to a bowl and place in ad ice bath to cool down
Continue to stir while maintaining a smooth consistency and cooling to room temperature
Placing butter in the mixing bowl, beat until creamy
egg mixture
Beat with a mixer until light and fluffy
If the frosting is too thin, you can add confectioners sugar to thicken it up to a nice, spreadable consistency
If you desire a punch of color, add some food coloring. Just remember that the frosting is already slightly tinted because of the butter. Once again, select your frosting tip and insert in a pastry bag, along with the frosting.
I've never worked with fondant, which sounds pretty intimidating. I purchased fondant from the craft store, rolled it out on a confectioners' sugar covered surface and, with a small cookie cutter, cut out sweet little flowers for each cupcake.
As you can see, using the pastry bag, I created a decorative swirl
Next, I added the fondant flower
I topped each flower with a dollop of the canned frosting in a contrasting color
After selecting a yellow floral sprinkle, I placed it on top of each dollop of frosting
The cupcakes were sweet, charming and delicious! More importantly, they were made for an adored friend with love.

Oops. It said there was a server error and to try again. So I did.
Sorry, although it might be more relevant to change Mr. Davis name in the second post to another congressperson on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Personally, I think the government reform side of things should get a little more attention.

Dreaming of Summer Vacation—Maybe
First published May 17, 2012.
The weather is warm and breezy. Kids are out of school. The pace of life seems to slow down, even just a little: It is summer.
Most people in American society can't wait for a summer vacation. People dream all year of taking off to the beach, or hightailing it on some adventure. What if you are on the autism spectrum? Is summer vacation just as enticing?
Maybe. A stereotype about autistic adults is that we do not like traveling. In order to travel, don't you have to leave the familiarity of home? Won't it be too hard to cope with new environments, new routines, and new people? The reality is that some of us on the spectrum like to travel and some of us don't. Whether you can't wait for vacation—or you're being dragged along on one—planning can help.
Always thoroughly research where you are going. You don't want to end up at an idyllic resort on a tropical island and discover your room has no air conditioning if you require it. Make a list of amenities you absolutely need, things you can't stand at all, and a list of features you would enjoy but could do without. Then call the hotel where you will be staying and ask questions. If you aren't staying at a hotel, you can politely ask your host.
Also consider conditions outside. You might be counting down the days until you get to the beach, but are you facing the ocean or a bay? Oceanside will always have rougher tides and bigger waves—great for surfing, or sunbathing, but not typically ideal for swimming. And what is in the water? Don't find out two minutes after you put your towel down on the sand that the water is full of stinging jellyfish.
The more information you have, the less disappointment you'll face. I had a friend who saved up a lot of money for a trip to a rainforest. He thought he was going to see animals, go hiking, and sit by waterfalls with exotic flowers. Instead, the rain was so heavy every day that the trails were too muddy for exploring. He didn't realize that the month he picked always has the worst weather of the year.
If your hotel or host doesn't have much information on local conditions, you can call the visitor's bureau of a nearby town or city. Check weather websites, too. Or ask locals for the best advice on safe, travel-oriented chat boards. Never be afraid to ask. People understand that you don't live where you are going. Usually they are very happy to describe what is home to them.
In addition to thoroughly researching conditions like weather and features like air conditioning, next on your list should be food. Many of us are on special diets or have numerous food sensitivities. What will you be able to eat while you are away?
If you are staying at a hotel, you can usually see menus and hours of the hotel restaurants on the hotel website. Does the hotel have a shop that carries items you can purchase if the hotel restaurants do not suffice? Some hotels are walking distance to malls or towns, expanding your options. Many hotels will also pick up items for you or take you in a hotel van to a shopping area. Usually there is a fee for this service. If you are really hungry, it's worth it. Don't forget to ask for a hotel fridge or microwave if this would help—hotels typically have them, but often reservation in advance is required.
If your diet is extremely limited, you may have to bring food with you. This is not as complicated as it might seem. For example, you can pack a box of your favorite cereal in your suitcase, and then buy milk or soymilk once you land. As a vegetarian, I've packed mixes or soup packages that require only hot water—something usually obtainable in most places. Twice, traveling companions of mine packed gluten-free pasta or gluten-free frozen entrees and the hotel kitchen manager cooked these specialty items—he simply asked my friends to come by at a time that the hotel restaurant wasn't busy. They tipped him for his help.
Food is crucial to consider during visits with relatives and friends, too. Hosts may be offended if you won't try their food or accompany them to their favorite restaurants. If you anticipate that a host might be sensitive about your food proclivities, communicate honestly and well in advance. Grandma will want to know that you really appreciate her quiche and that you just can't swallow it for reasons that don't have to do with her efforts. Be as polite as possible. If you can, offer an alternative. For example, you could say to Grandma, "I really appreciate the quiche you make every year when we visit. But I have severe sensory issues with eggs. I do love your spaghetti and meatballs. Could we make that together?" Or you could say, "Grandma, I appreciate that you love to cook for me. But you know me with all of my sensory issues! Could we go out for ice cream instead?" Grandma might be disappointed that you're not going to eat that quiche, but she'll have some other ideas for how to feed you.
For most adults on the autism spectrum, the real issue with vacations is idle time. My brain needs to be active. Doing nothing is just not relaxing. The best way to tackle this issue, especially if your vacation is mandatory, is to write or draw a schedule for each day, or print out a schedule on the computer.
When we went to Disneyland, I divided activity time into morning, afternoon, and evening. Each slot had a desired activity and a back-up activity. If you have back-up activities on your schedule, you will always have something to do in the event of unforeseen closures, lines that are too long at your first choice, or uncooperative weather.
Making this schedule allowed me to balance everyone's needs. For example, I knew some members of my traveling team would like an afternoon on the beach snoozing in the sun. So I could plan to visit a nearby nature center at that time on my own, or I could join everyone on the beach armed with a stack of academic journals to analyze while they tanned.
Now some people will say that vacations are supposed to be spontaneous: You simply show up at a location, and then see what happens. If that is your style, there is no problem going the spontaneous route. But my personal experiences and the experiences of family and friends on the spectrum suggests that a planned vacation can be just as fun and a lot less stressful for us. You'll relax knowing the schedule has blocks of time for your interests balanced with required activities or the preferences of your traveling partners. You can also build into the schedule enough time to recuperate from sensory and social overload.
Service Vacations
If you worry that too much idle time will sky-rocket your anxiety, or if you don't want to be a tourist in a hotel, service vacations are another option. Clean up a beach, count owls for a nature protection agency, teach English for two weeks at a refugee center, or build houses for homeless families—the choices are endless. Do a search on the Internet and you will see many types of service vacations.
Service vacations vary widely. Sometimes, you need no skills—just a desire to help. Other times,you must have carpentry or nursing skills or scientific lab experience. The trip might be highly regulated, with every single minute on the schedule filled. Or the trip might have a more leisurely pace, with afternoons off for hiking or swimming or side trips to museums. When looking for a service vacation opportunity, think about what type of work and what type of work schedule would be best for you.
Once you find a service trip you might want to sign up for, do the same pre-trip research and planning you would do for any vacation. On service trips, you usually have less chance to bring or buy your favorite foods, and amenities may be wholly absent. Some activities may be required or optional. Always check the reputation of the agency facilitating or offering the service trip, too. Ask to speak to prior participants to really understand what the service trip is like.
Note that some agencies or groups will charge you a fee even though you are volunteering. This is because the facilitating agency will be arranging tickets, organizing logistics, and providing accommodations. Some service trips charge you for insurance, tools, pre-trip training, special equipment, or side excursions. The facilitating agency should be absolutely clear about what you are being charged for and what the fees include.
If the idea of leaving home makes you jittery, you can still plan an adventure in your home town. The idea of a "stay-cation" is catching on and is also great if you are on a low budget. Get on the computer or call the visitor's bureau and make a list of interesting things to do in your town or in your region. You may discover things to do that you've never heard about, even if you've lived in town your whole life. Lots of museums, parks, and tourist attractions have discounts or free days for local citizens. Because you're local, you can also go at less crowded times.
Not into formal places to visit? Just take a stroll downtown and see what there is to see. Or follow up on your special interests. Have a special interest in cargo traffic? Go watch the ships loading and unloading at the port. I had a friend who spent two required vacation days counting the number of pizzerias in his city. He had always wanted to know, and when his boss insisted that he take the two days off, he realized this was his chance.
Also, consider doing things that you haven't been able to do for whatever reason. Always wanted to decorate your bedroom like Mos Eisley space port? Never had the time to paint your garage orange? Want to sleep late, wander into Starbucks, and read The New York Times all morning while enjoying a delicious drink? Guess what—you can! You're on a stay-cation.
With these tips and fresh ideas, the idea of a vacation doesn't have to be overwhelming. I found through my many years of extensive travel that minor inconveniences were worth it for the chance to meet new people, see new places, and participate in other cultures. With careful planning, you can work out destination, sensory, food, and activity issues in advance. If you must always have tea in the morning or you must always use a blue towel, this doesn't mean you can't travel. And for those of you who don't want to roam, you can still find plenty to do right in your neighborhood or in your state. Whether you are headed for an all-inclusive resort, volunteer work in a frog sanctuary, or a dental museum a few miles from your house, I wish you in advance happy adventures this summer.

text: Most kids are thrilled with the idea of getting to sit on Santa's lap and rattling off their wish list. Maker kids (and maker parents) would prefer to talk shop with the elves. This collection of misfit toys — er, tools — ranging from stocking stuffers to account-draining benefactions, is sure to delight DIY enthusiasts of any age. Above: Cintiq 24HD touch — $3,699.00 This top-of-the-line drawing pad is like an iPad with a 20.4- by 12.8-inch screen and and a stylus that can differentiate 2,048 levels of pressure. Unlike most drawing tablets where users have to look at a monitor while sketching on a peripheral, the Cintiq range combines both functions. The screen is also sensitive to the human touch allowing artists to associate gestures with key functionality, making this super digital experience feel surprisingly analog. Weighing in at a robust 62.9 pounds, don't expect to see many artists sketching on these at the park, but a 21st-century draftsman can't be parked in front of anything better. Photo: WacomField Notes Colors Subscription — $97.00 Inspiration can strike anywhere, but with Moleskines having become so common, what should a cool designer carry? Field Notes sketchbooks are like props from a Wes Anderson movie: beautifully crafted, subtly nostalgic, and quirky as all get out. Field Notes can be purchased à la carte, but are also offered on a subscription basis to keep creativity coming through the year. Limited editions are released each quarter with an understated theme and often come with a little trinket, like a merit badge for a series based on farming or dry-transfer lettering for a vintage graphic design collection. Photo: Coudal PartnersFestool TS 55 EQ Plunge Cut Circular Saw — $550.00 Called a "110-volt X-Acto and ruler" by one craftsman, Festool products are all about precision. There are no obvious bells or whistles, no complementary apps; just heaping helpings of German engineering. Tolerances are tight and 1,200 watts' worth of carbide cutting power will make short work of any project. A poor craftsman blames his tools, but good tools should make you a little poorer and Festool products deliver lots of value commensurate with their premium price. The "Plug-It" cable management system means the power cable is detachable and can be replaced if it becomes frayed or damaged. The first cut made with the saw plunges through a piece of sacrificial plastic on the saw's rail, meaning the owner can have complete confidence in its alignment. Photo: FestoolSmooth-On Starter Kit —$52.49 Want to stage an epic re-enactment of the Clone Wars, but don't want to pay tribute to the new Disney/Star Wars empire? We won't condone it, but you could bootleg your own action figures. With this Smooth-On starter kit, makers get everything they need to produce rubber molds, plastic parts, and a near endless supply of droids. The product website only scratches the surface of what these materials can do. For a world-class introduction to the riveting world of RTV molds, check out the epic replicas made by Harrison Krix. With practice, this hobbyist-friendly goop can be formed into Barbaric axes from the world of Skyrim and LED-studded Daft Punk helmets. Photo: Smooth-OnGnomon School of Visual Effects Online Classes — $4,000.00 If the Charlie Brown Christmas special has you questioning the materialistic nature of the holidays, give the gift of knowledge instead. Online classes at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects will help the special maker in your life master Photoshop or Maya software while learning the art of creating bad-ass beasts or sci-fi ships. Star Trek director J.J. Abrams raves about the place, which makes the premium price easier to swallow. Basic courses cost $1,050, but masterclasses like "ZBrush Creature Design" taught by a veteran from the Weta Workshop cost a precious penny. Image: Gnomon WorkshopEgg-Bot — $220.00 The Egg-Bot is a diminutive robot that can draw patterns on eggs, glass bulbs, and other simple, curvy objects. With the right input, EggBot can draw ornate patterns on an ornament or add a nutrition label to an egg shell. This might be a present to deliver early since it can actually help trim the tree. For those trying to catch up on Hanukkah, the creators of the Egg-Bot also make a sweet LED Menorah, 100 percent guaranteed not to run out of oil. Photo: Evil Mad Scientist LabsUSB Microscope — $79.95 Whether you're an electronics maven, a war-gamer, or would-be watchmaker, this USB microscope is the Wired version of a jeweler's loupe. With a 5-megapixel resolution, 220x magnification, and 8 LEDs, no detail on even the smallest project will go unseen. It gives artisans an amazingly detailed look at their projects, but also makes it easy to share the big picture with fans and followers via tutorials. Photo: AdaFruit IndustriesShopBot Desktop — $4,995.00 3-D printers are the stars of the maker world, but CNC mills are their subtractive siblings that have been get scant attention of late. Instead of depositing plastic on a build platform, the ShopBot Desktop can carve up wood, plastic, aluminum, and other materials measuring up to 24 by 18 by 2 inches. With the right attachments, the ShopBot Desktop can cut material into almost any shape that can be designed in CAD software. Image: ShopBotTrademark Tools Massive and Mobile 3 Piece Tool Box — $204.99 The Trademark Tools "Massive and Mobile" three-piece tool box lacks the artisanal qualities and expert construction of an heirloom Gerstner tool chest, but what it lacks there it makes up for in transportability and shiny style. Designed like a cross between roll-aboard luggage and stainless-steel appliances, this storage system is the perfect way to bring tools to social gatherings — be it a hackathon at a local maker space or an annual pilgrimage to exhibit at MakerFaire.
