Isolation of urea from urine!
No, I am not kidding!
I have always been interested in the chemicals the body produces/excretes, and urea is one of them!
Of course, urea is mostly easily available, but not everywhere. So there are ways of obtaining it yourself, from a chemical synthesiser called your own body
Urea is of course an ancient, well studied chemical, in fact it was discovered over 230 years ago, and Friedrich Woehler determined that urea could also be synthesised from inorganic chemicals, i.e. by the reaction of potassium cyanate with ammonium sulfate (1828).
The original discovery of urea was by Hilaire Marin Rouelle in 1773, who obtained it by boiling urea dry and obtaining a white residue (which later proved to be identical with Woehlers reaction products - disproving the idea that the chemistry of the living is radically different from inanimate matter)
Unfortunately, simply boiling down urine doesnt quite satisfy anyone, as it still contains certain quantities of salt, creatine, ureic acid, proteins etc.
Per day, about 1.5 - 2 litres are excreted, consisting of 95% of water. The rest (in grams per day consists of)
# 25 g urea
# 1 g uric acid (metabolic endproduct of purines from DNA)
# 1.5 g creatinine (derived from creatine phosphate, the muscle booster)
# 10 g of salts, mainly NaCl
# 3 g of phosphates, citric acid, oxalic acid,
# milligrams of proteins, and urochromen, which is the compound giving rise to the yellow colour of urine.
Now, looking at this information, what could be the best way of isolating urea from it?
How about this:
1. Collect urine for about a week, one should get about 10 litres. Needless to say, urine is STERILE to start off with. Preferably though, after each urine addition, the solution should be simply boiled to keep it sterile. Otherwise, just literally pee into a sterile pot with lid, and keep it at 4 deg C for the rest of the week. I dont think bacterial contamination should be a problem then (unless your have a medical condition, where bacteria are excreted through your urinary tracts)
2. AFter a week, boil down the urine, until a solid mass is obtained (from the above table, it should way about 300 grams. Do this outside, unless you want 10 litres of water condensing on your windows
3. That's when things become interesting. You want to get rid of salts (primarily), and phosphates. At this point there is no easy way to get rid of the creatinine, and the ureic acid. Proteins aren't much to worry about anyway, as conc. are very low.
So - I checked - urea is soluble in ethanol, at 50 g / l, @ 20 degC . Probably a lot more is soluble at higher temperatures. In water, it dissolves at >1500 g/litre, so very highly soluble. I'd try to dissolve the urine residue in an excess of cheap industrial ethanol (doesnt matter if it contains other things), which would mean, around 3 litres, if you heat the ethanol up a little (no open flames ok). All the inorganic stuff (salts etc) are barely soluble in ehtanol, so they should remain precipitated.
4. Filter off the remainder, and boil of the ethanolic solution of urea (with a small amount of creatinine potentially) down to a few hundred ml's, or even to dryness. If you distill, you can obviously recycle the ethanol, although it may prove to be a pain to recycle such large amounts, considering that ethanol is cheap anyhow.
5. Alternatively, once you boiled down the ethanolic solution of urea to a few hundred ml, you could add HCl (conc) or H2SO4, and precipitate urea as the respective salt (which is surely insoluble in ethanol). The salt can be turned back into urea with the appropriate amount of NaOH.
What do you think? Sure this is a very simple way of purifying urea, and of course if you had all the reagents, one could get extremely high purities.
At least, this way, one gets about 200 g of urea, straight from urine, with the only expense of 3 litres of industrial ethanol.

I'm pretty sure that the "established" method of isolating urea from urine is to boil down the urine to concentrate the solution, then add nitric acid. Urea nitrate is relatively insoluble and precipitates. I think Megalomania's chem lab had a more exact procedure for this. Then you can take that small amount of solid and treat it with NaOH and ethanol to get the urea back.
I like this method because it should sharply separate urea from not-urea, and may require less energy (less forced evaporation). Urea oxalate is also fairly insoluble and can be precipitated from an aqueous solution containing urea.
Edit: sodium oxalate is isn't very soluble either, so I suppose HNO3 is the way to go.

I know this forum advocates mad science, but isn't collecting urine going a bit too far? Amateur chemistry is a hard enough hobby to justify already, without having jars of urine to explain.

To be honest, I don't think it goes too far at all.
Let me remind you that many diseases are diagnosed by analysing urine. Which means the person concerned has to fill a cup with it, and pass it on to the laboratory, who analyses it down to the last molecule. People are
it every day and don't complain it goes to far. Oh, you may argue they do it because it's necessary, while purifying urea from urine isn't. Is that how you define 'going too far', however? Whether something is necessary or not?
By the way, in practical biochemistry classes, we analysed our very own urine for vitamin C content - which wasn't strictly necessary - and yet noone complained doing it.
Also, let me remind you that in biochemistry, urine is routinely used to purify certain enzymes. In fact, I worked with enzymes directly isolated from my own urine. So what? It's natural, and by no means sick, disgusting or dirty. Your blood is equally dirty (indeed your lymph fluids consist of less concentrated urinal fluids).
How is it different to isolate urea from urine, or glycogen from liver, cysteine from wool, or oxalic acid from rhubarb? The only difference that these are excretions - but it's still as natural or unnatural as anything else. What's the big deal?
Hmm - am I lacking perspective or something?
I thought that the idea/philosophy behind this, in essence, is no different to a lot of other chemical problems/purifications - if you ignore this totally unreasonable 'disgust' factor - totally unreasonable because urine is sterile, contains about 200 compounds, und doesnt even smell, unlike pancreatic enzymes / bile and such - which have been analysed to death just as well.
Again - where's the big deal? And what's this to do with the link ?(pee drinking - what the hell)

I'd just like to say, urea is NOT inherently sterile even in healthy people. First of all, it is not that unusual for a few bacteria to be present in the bladder (although these are generally transient - if they colonise, you get an infection).
Secondly, urine is typically contaminated as it leaves the body, as bacteria are relatively common in the urethra, certainly towards the end.
That's why when you give a urine sample for disease testing the doctor will ask for a "mid-stream" sample - you will pee about a third of the contents of your bladder, stop, stick the cup under there, fill the cup and then finish off. THe first third is designed to (hopefully) wash away any transient bacteria.
Diagnosis of urinary tract infections is actually a statistical thing - if you detect a single live bacterium in the blood, for example, it is immediately considered an infection. But because of the relatively common contamination of urine, you have to have more than a cecrtain threshold level present in the sample to be considered an infection.
Thought somone might like to know this... trust me, nobody needs to work with semi=fermented urine samples (it's FAR from pleasant!!)

Of course, semi-fermented urine samples aren't pleasant. That's why I suggested boiling them.
But then, is the smell of ammonia pleasant? Surely not. Except, in the former case, ammonia is produced bacterially...
Anyway - the debate is not so much about the issue whether it's sterile or not (and I agree about your mid-stream sample), but simply whether this particular case is 'science that goes too far'.
And I just happened to disagree on that
- if anything, I'd say, the making of highly toxic nerve gases is science that goes to far, at least for the amateur chemist!

Actually, I found the link somewhat interesting, although it failed to substantiate most of its positive claims. For example, I've always been taught that ingesting urine is counterproductive in preventing dehydration. They even intimate that "urine therapy" can be usefull in treating gout, a disease caused by excessive levels of uric acid!

US5659080 from the E&W archives:
In a 100 ml beaker was placed a solution of 50 grams of 33% diluted nitric acid, and to this solution was added 14 grams of urea in small portions while stirring vigorously. For this period of time, since the temperature does not show any rise practically, this reaction can be carried out in room temperature and is not necessary to be kept cool. Immediately urea nitrate resulted as crystals. Having been allowed to stand for 10 minutes, the mixture was filtered to collect the crystals. This crystals were washed with a little amount of water to remove the solution well and were then dried in a desiccator under vacuum. The yield resulted in 23.8 grams of urea nitrate (97% yield), whose melting point was measured to be 162.degree. C.
Urea and uric acid extraction from urine was good enough for Wieland's revision of Gattermann. It was isolated using colorless 70% HNO3. All the other old refs use the conc. acid as well. And all use BaCO3, K2CO3, or KHCO3 to give the metal nitrate.
The oxalate was made with hot satd soln of oxalic acid and syrupy urine. Like the nitrate it is not very soluble in excess of the acid. The oxalate is decomposed with CaCO3 suspension. This has the advantage of forming insoluble Ca oxalate, and the aqueous solution is filtered and evaporated.
Decolorizing was done with charcoal or boiling H2O2.

Using nitric acid to separate urea is quite a waste of HNO3.
Edit: sodium oxalate is isn't very soluble either, so I suppose HNO3 is the way to go.
Yes but potassium oxalate is soluble and oxalic acid is more readily available and cheap. The potassium oxalate is a usefull byproduct for other syntheses.
Did some looking around and it appears that most of the sources state that the urea oxalate would best be hydrolysized by calcium carbonate effecting the precipitation of calcium oxalate leaving the urea in solution. Urea is a really weak base so I see little difficulty here. Will try sometime but I am leaving the country for two months so experimental results will be delayed.

Increasing the yield:
BTW, you can increase the amount of urea excreted: by eating more protein for a few days. The daily need is quite constant except when you have wounds or infections, or while training of muscles---about one gram per kg body mass. Any more than this is made to urea (in the urea cycle) and excreted.
That doesn't mean *any amount more than 1g/kg is excreted as urea. Huge amounts are probably not even digested and pass with the stool (or is then rather eaten by intestinal bacteria).
I would also put in a slight caveat on too much protein over long time periods: it's a risk factor for getting struvit kidney stones.

Technical grade urea ca 98% is readily available as a fertiliser almost everywhere.
A couple of recrystallisations would result in very high purity material.
There are a few interesting derivatives that can be prepared eg the nitrate, oxalate etc and you can make acetamide, benzamide etc using it.
Isolating urea from urine might be interesting on a small scale but it would use large amounts of reagents that would cost more than the urea if scaled up.

$12.95 17# 46-0-0 . the ancients used human urine to brush thier teeth and whiten them,yum yum.Of course the ammonia used to whiten the teeth removed the hard outer
layer of dentine.One would think cat urine with its ammonia content would work well to promote severe dental decay.
I believ ammonia(in a more palatable form) was used for this purpose until the 19th century until 'modern dentistyry discovered the damage inherent. Sorry so OT it is interesting no?Bye the bye vthe majority of users were royals or the rich deserving of what they got IMHO.LOL
Fertlizer grade urea is often laden with foriegn materials trash etc easily removed with water solubility /filtering. which could easily make up the 2% of the fertilizers ive seen.

What's your source of that information?
It is believed that in Pompeii they collected urine to use part of it as a bleach, I guess the ammonia.

I don't have a source either but it's common knowledge it was used to brush teeth and bleach hair. A quick Google found many references. I even read once where it can be used to wash cobra venom from your eyes. and to keep entrails moist in the event of an evisceration. It's not always sterile, but it is approximately normal saline and probably cleaner than any other liquid quickly at hand. It can even put out a campfire.
In times of war in the black powder era, it was zealously collected to make niter.

I was reading in Beilstein and came upon N,N-dichloro-urea, which has solubility of 4g per 100g H2O at 0º (Chattaway, Am. 41, 91). So I was thinking maybe it is possible to form it from a cold conc. clear urine solution, and thereby precipitate in a similar way as oxalate and nitrate, hoping no other troublesome compounds would form.
The compound is covered in Chem. News. 1908, 166, Chattaway (just go read it), and it certainly has its dangers but according to the latter it seems it can be handled at least for a short time and at lower temps and with the right precautions without too much risk. Dichlorourea is also a simple way to near quantitative hydrazine sulfate (Chattaway).
But I don't know how one would be able to reduce the N-substituted compound safely into the urea form without too much exertion. So I'm open to ideas on how to get to urea itself.

Very interesting - although dichloro urea is precipitated from a saturated (about 8 M!!!) solution of urea through which chlorine gas is fed.
There's no telling how well this would work in the presence of all the other things contained in urine....
Far more exciting I thought is the almost quantitative production of hydrazine from it - anyone who's ever boiled NaOCl with urea knows the terrible yields of hydrazine that are obtained - and here's a route that requires urea, chlorine gas, ammonia, and sulfuric acid only! Perhaps that warrants a post in the hydrazine thread!

At least monochlorourea has come up in the hydrazine thread. It was discussed on pg. 5 of that thread. Garage chemist on the following page also described his results with the method.
The question is indeed how extractable or even safe it would be to attempt to form the compound by the urine route. It is another precipitateable urea form.
From Wikipedia, concerning poison gas use of chlorine, using a damp rag with urine instead of water to protect the nose: "as it was known at the time that chlorine reacted readily with urea (present in urine) to form dichlorourea."
Any ammonia present in urine can react with Cl2 to form NCl3, this could be risky depending on its quantity presence. Any sign of dense yellow droplets resembling in appearance olive oil are indicative of NCl3 in any probe trials, it's also not untypical to see pale yellow murkyness when it forms chemically.

Average : 9/10
best car rental I have ever used_ BIG plus
Very easy to book and very good Car Rental company.I will use them again to my next holidays.
Would highly recommend
We will recommend this site and the care rental company
No one was available when returning car and we were not told that one had to make arrangement_s if the flight left early. Had to wait until an employee arrived and had to take taxi to airport. This could all have been avoided if we were told to make prior arrangements. Lack of communication_ but overall it was excellent.
lots of credit activities cost me a lot due to conversion fees. in addition- I was told 1 price and was charged for another
We are your regular customers two years already. All is fine_ keep it up! From Russia with love :)
not clear that additional options are not included in the rental price quoted by EconomyCarRentals
OK to upgrade_ but no OK to tell only later that it costed more. Also the offer was ALL inclusive.. but it turned out it was not.. not OK
Overal score =GREAT. but it would be nice to have damages of car before rental listed on agreement. Not a car described as undamaged when in fact is was damaged. To sort this I wasted 2 hours.

With this week's unfortunate news that newly minted Leader of the Official Opposition Jack Layton would take a leave of absence to be treated for cancer, the NDP found itself caught in a national firestorm with the selection of Nycole Turmel as interim leader. Turmel is a 20-year member of the NDP, a former union leader, and a declared federalist Francophone. The course of her career is evidence of her commitment to her political convictions and her thoughts on the state of Canada. It is her short, now regrettable, affiliation with another federal party that has vaulted her into a glaring national spotlight.
The revelation that the new interim Official Opposition leader was once a member of the Bloc Québécois, at the same time as she was a member of the NDP, yielded an understandably swift uproar. English Canadians are notoriously sensitive when it comes to sovereigntist parties like the Bloc, seeing them purely as vehicles to destroy the country. While this may seem true in black and white, it is a fundamental truth of Canadian politics that everything involving the relationship between Quebec and the federal government has always been coloured in shades of grey.
The Bloc's raison d'être was not only to promote sovereignty for Quebec, but also to protect the province's interests and values in Parliament. This is an important subtlety – even a casual conversation with a politically savvy person from Quebec illuminates the complex reasons many people had for supporting the Bloc for so many years. For two decades, the Bloc was seen as the protector of the deep values of liberal social justice that define Quebec's identity. It was the only viable party in Quebec that promoted this type of political vision until the NDP rise earlier this year. This is the aspect of the Bloc that Turmel has stated she supported; the same kind of values that have been the basis of her nearly two-decade affiliation with the New Democrats. For the first time this year, a federalist party of this stripe was seen as viable in Quebec – and the results speak for themselves.
It is a general policy that political parties forbid members from holding memberships in other parties; Turmel claims that she was unaware of this, joined the Bloc to support a friend, and promptly terminated her connections when she chose to become a public candidate for the NDP. Although her missteps are, admittedly, clumsy mistakes, the point remains – she chose to run for the NDP. For all the cries of discontent and secret sympathies with those who would break the country apart, that fact stands out clear above the rest. If she truly believed in a Canada without Quebec, she could have easily run as a candidate for the Bloc, the avowed separatist party that was far above the NDP in the Quebec opinion polls leading up to the May 2 federal election. The argument that you cannot support a party without personally agreeing with every one of its policies as a package seems noble, but is unrealistic. The nuances in any one person's political views are as unique as a fingerprint, shaped by the course of events and experiences, and a lifetime of learning and forming opinions. Every person is a political party unto themselves, in a way. Turmel has since stated, over and over, that it was the Bloc's social policies that she supported, and was always uneasy with the sovereigntist aspect of its platform.
Ultimately, nobody but Nycole Turmel knows what lies in her heart. We must take her at her word and accept that she has at least been honest and forthcoming about the situation as it unfolded, fully aware of the criticisms it would bring upon her. She has repeatedly and vehemently affirmed her belief in a united Canada. We should now put this matter aside and allow her to focus on leading the Official Opposition, a job we may be very grateful she is filling. Perhaps the reason her political opponents were so swift to question her allegiances to the country is that they fear her potential to bring Canadians together – under her NDP banner. It is a curiously complex situation.
It is rare that Canadians see a woman in a position of visible power at the federal level, let alone a tough-talking French-Canadian one. Turmel's accomplishments and potential far outshine the stumbles that have come to light this week. She has the opportunity to set an example for all Canadians, young and old − and most especially the country's young women − that hard work and years of service can pay great dividends and command respect. It is encouraging to see a different sort of person on the podium than those we're familiar with. The course of her life, like anyone's, has had some bumps but she now sits directly across from the Prime Minister's seat in the House of Commons. She will hopefully be a commanding, inspiring presence in Canadian politics from this point on.

We are a little past the halfway point in the class, and today we re-capped what we learned about in the class so far. On the first day, D'Wayne made a list of the topics we wanted to cover in the class, and we have already gone over most of the topics. The main things we covered were how to properly draw sneakers, how shoes are made, and the corporate world of footwear design.
D'Wayne showed us the portfolio of Glen Chang, who was a student at PENSOLE last year. Glen's project was to make protective footwear for MMA fighters, and he came up with an interesting Koi fish inspired piece that wrapped around the shins all the way down to the toes. It was beneficial for us to see his project because D'Wayne showed us some simple changes that could make it even better.
D'Wayne has gone over the interview process at Nike before, but today we went more in-depth on what they are looking for. He gave us helpful tips on how to dress and to always be honest in the interviews, because they are looking for consistency. He said we should figure out whom we are interviewing with, so we know a little bit about them when talking with them. Dialogue is essential in the interview and it was very insightful to hear what to expect with a Nike interview.
Before we set off for working, D'Wayne asked the class if we had dreams and aspirations of our own. He wanted all of us to find something that we are passionate about that would inspire us to work to our full potential. D'Wayne showed us a card his mother had given him after Reebok did not give him a job when he was younger. He always keeps a copy with him, so that he can look to it for motivation when he needs it. The main point I learned from his talk is that talent can get us far in life, but it will be out work ethic that separates us from the other people competing with us for jobs.
We ended the day with each of our teams meeting with D'Wayne to discuss our projects as we narrowed them down to one design. He corrected our proportions and showed us simple changes to enhance our projects. The rest of the class continued to edit their final design and brainstormed on ideas for their packaging. It was a long day with the individual meetings extending past the regular class time, but it was all to the benefit of us students and our projects.

Sometimes you have to lose yourself to find where you truly belong...
Most girls would kill to spend months traveling around Europe after college graduation with no responsibility, no parents, and no-limit credit cards. Kelsey Summers is no exception. She's having the time of her life . . . or that's what she keeps telling herself.
It's a lonely business trying to find out who you are, especially when you're afraid you won't like what you discover. No amount of drinking or dancing can chase away Kelsey's loneliness, but maybe Jackson Hunt can. After a few chance meetings, he convinces her to take a journey of adventure instead of alcohol. With each new city and experience, Kelsey's mind becomes a little clearer and her heart a little less hers. Jackson helps her unravel her own dreams and desires. But the more she learns about herself, the more Kelsey realizes how little she knows about Jackson.

When you turn on the MLB channel which has replaced ESPN as the go-to baseball channel at any point in the day you will quickly learn that the trend according to today's baseball so-called experts is that the bullpen is now the key to having a winning team that will do well in the playoffs. The Cleveland Indians and Andrew Miller are a prime example they say. But Tom Verducci wrote a story for Sports Illustrated back in September of 1999 expounding on the virtues of relief pitchers.
The importance of the bullpen was not lost on managers back in 1999 either as this quote from then Texas Rangers skipper Johnny Oates attests –
"Getting from two outs in the sixth inning to the ninth inning is the most important part of the game," Oates says. "That's where you'll win or lose the pennant. It's even more important in the playoffs, when every run is magnified."
I guess it just goes to show that what goes around comes back around but like everything else in life, the game of baseball is slow to learn from history.

Grateful For The Correction…Chrisitan Perspectives Comments Off on Grateful For The Correction…
Galatians 5:16-26 (KJV)
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
As believers, we all want the fruit of the Spirit, but how can we know if we truly have it?
Even unbelievers can display these qualities when conditions are positive.
This nine-fold fruit of the Spirit is not what we do, but who we are, and it is primarily on display in Christians when circumstances are unfavorable.
Two characteristics help us recognize these traits in our lives.
Fruitful believers are not controlled by their environment.
Everyone experiences trials and pain, but those who are filled with the Spirit do not lose His fruit because of their situations. They keep their joy even when difficulties overwhelm. If someone speaks harshly, they respond with kindness. Because the Holy Spirit is in control, He is free to produce His fruit no matter what the circumstances are. Even though such believers may feel pain, anger, or a desire for revenge, they choose to trust the Lord to protect them and direct the outcome.
Fruitful Christians recover quickly after a fall.
These believers are not perfect, but they are sensitive to the Spirit's conviction and are quick to return to the Lord in repentance. In fact, they are actually grateful for the correction and praise God, not only for revealing their weakness but also for drawing them back to obedience.
No one produces these amazing qualities in himself.
Trying harder to be godly will never work. Character transformation occurs when we submit to God, giving Him complete control of our lives.

My treasure hunting expedition over the weekend landed a late 1960s Harvard crimson athletic jacket in my arms. Sweet, I know. So while doing a bit of research about it, I came across this program cover from 1947. That year, Yale took the game with a final score 31-21. But yesterday afternoon, Harvard dished out some embarrassment to them right in their own back yard. Final score: Harvard 45 - Yale 7. That's pretty sweet, too, if you're a fan of Crimson.

If you happen to follow the Facebook page of my blog/site, you may recall I mentioned quite awhile back that I had been invited to attend "The Newport Vintage Dance Week" after one of the sponsors came across my post about Vintage Tailgating. It was one of those moments when, upon learning of this event, I again thought to myself: "How is it I have never heard of this?"
(photo courtesy of The Commonwealth Vintage Dancers)Newport is less than an hour away, and although my days of hanging out at The Black Pearl, The Pelham & The Red Parrot have been long laid to rest, I do at times feel the urge to head to Newport, but on a far more grown-up level. I now tend to head there "off season", when traffic has slowed, parking is available & the weather is much more conducive to enjoying the coast with a wicker basket picnic or dining outdoors sans staring tourists with cameras and drunk prepsters who are trashing yachts Onassis couldn't afford to own. I suppose you can consider yourself a grown up when you'd rather be "un-seen" than "be seen" in such a place as Newport purports to be.
(photo courtesy of 12 Meter Charters)
Although still the lovely "City By The Sea", when you watch films shot on location in or about Newport such as "The Age of Innocence", "The Great Gatsby", "High Society" and "Mr. North", you have to wonder where all the charm, the grace, the manners and propriety that was once associated with and demanded by those who swam the circles of Newport's social seas has gone. The glamour once associated with the glamorous likes of Doris Duke and Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy has all but disappeared and been replaced with a much less refined sense of entitlement and entertainment.
While I cannot tell you (in a simple blog post, anyway) where those days have gone, I can tell you there is a troupe of rather talented, aesthetically concerned persons who wish to reclaim, revive, and at the very least recall the grand days of yesteryear.
They are The Commonwealth Vintage Dancers and their mission is rather admirable and most noteworthy. Voted two years in a row one of The Top Five Most Memorable Events of 2010 by Bill Cunningham of The New York Times (additional photos here) , the upcoming 24th Annual Newport Vintage Dance Week (30 July - 5 August 2011) is, rather obviously, the place to be.
The week kicks off on Saturday, 30 July 2011 at 5:00 pm with a Polo Match (Newport vs New York), a Dinner Buffet & Welcome Dance to be held at The Newport International Polo Grounds at Glen Farm in Portsmouth, RI and includes private box seating in the Subscriber's Enclosure for excellent viewing of the match. Registration for the event will begin at 1:00 pm to allow plenty of time for settling in, mingling and enjoying the lovely grounds of this Rhode Island landmark.
"Travel Back in Time to the summer playground of the Gilded Age. Perfect your dancing skills with classes taught by leading experts on vintage dance. Experience the breathtaking opulence of America 's finest ballrooms as you dance in Newport's famous mansions. Let yourself be immersed in a bygone era as you sip tea by the shore..."

Brewmaster Aaron of Watch City Brewing brought to my attention that this weekend, October 23 & 24, is the 46th Head of the Charles Regatta in Cambridge.

It's just a 45 minute walk between Davis Square and all the festivities at The Charles.
Another great reason to come into Boston for The Top Shelf Flea Market II on Sunday! And why not finish the day off with some great microbrews over at Watch City Brewing? Say hello to Aaron for me and tell him I sent you.

Originally published in PET CENTER NEWS, May, 2013
(no longer online)
I first started a pet sitting business in 1994, after being "downsized" (a nicer way of saying "fired") from my corporate job and not finding a suitable replacement. We were apartment dwellers at the time, so it was mostly house calls for cats, plants, birds, fish etc., plus dog walking all over town.
After about 10 years or so, the running around 7 days a week with no time to myself wan.s wearing on me, so I switched to offering home boarding for dogs only. (We had become homne owners in the meantime and have a large back yard.) This has worked out well and my house is like a little "doggie commune".
With so many years experience behind me, I can offer multiple insights.
First, ask yourself these questions:
Do I love animals?
Do I have extensive experience with taking care of animals,
including administering medication?
Am I willing to make this my main focus in life?
Can I get by without earning a lot of money? (At least, initially)
Can I do without benefits, paid vacations, paid sick leave or regular days off?
If you answered "NO" to any of them, please, find yourself another line of work!
To be a good pet sitter takes a lot of love and dedication and you have to be prepared for fluctuations in income. Also, think about what services you wish to offer.
1. Dog Walking: In my opinion, dog walkers have the biggest earning potential. If you can get several weekday regulars and consolidate some of them together, then that's a fairly steady paycheque and usually all in the space of 4-5 hours per day. It also gives you weekends off, which other types of pet sitting do not. The downsides? You will have to deal with all types of personalities, (every dog is different, just like humans), possible injuries, (just like with kids), mud and depending where you live, bouts of extreme weather. Keep several towels in your vehicle, along with a good brush and a fully-equipped first aid kit, including hydrogen peroxide.
2. House Calls for cats and other small animals, plants, etc.: This is slightly easier than dog walking in one respect. You don't need to be outside in bad weather. The downsides? Usually, weekend visits are required, plus you will have to deal with any emergencies that come up with both the pets and within the home.
3. Live-in pet/house sitting: This has good earning potential too, if you can get many steady clients. Of course the responsibilities are greater as you will have to take care of the entire home as well as the pets, plants, etc. The downsides? Those mentioned in #2, living apart from your own home/family and more unstable income.
4. Home boarding: Again, a good income depends on having many steady clients. While I have chosen to offer overnight boarding only, doggie daycare would bring more financial stability and you get weekends off. This can be a fun job, but it also has a few downsides. Be prepared for much wear and tear to your home and yard, not to mention extra chores! Stock up on dog towels, Windex and stain/odor remover. Get a steam cleaner. I am constantly reseeding the backyard and have burned out a few vacuums. You need to "dog proof" your house. Remove all breakables from harm's way and don't keep poisonous plants, (such as Poinsettas) around. Vacations should be planned well in advance and the clients notified, because they rely on you. (This would apply to any form of self-employment.) I always inform my regulars and also leave this info on my outgoing voicemail message.
Once you have decided on your scope of services, tell everyone you know and ask them to pass the word along. Enlist a friend or two with pets to serve as references. Buy an ad in the local paper. Get business cards and flyers. Visit pet shops, vet clinics, dog groomers, and sell yourself to them, leaving cards and/or flyers for their clients. Of course, this is the computer age, so you could also start your own web site.
How big or small of a business you want to make it is up to you. For me, this is "self-employment" and fairly simple. For others, it could be a large-scale operation with many employees, in which case, there's a lot more to it and you'll need business advisers.
This touches on a few basics.
Please feel free to ask questions or offer comments.

How to keep your website safe
On Sept. 23rd Google Webmaster Central posted a blog concerning website safety. In it they state, "Thus far in 2015 we have seen a 180% increase in the number of sites getting hacked and a 300% increase in hacked site reconsideration requests."
At Leap we have unfortunately confirmed this trend with two hacked websites in the past three months (compared to five years of zero hacked websites).
How do hackers access your website?
Hackers typically access your website by finding vulnerabilities through simple logins (like password: admin123) or within the code. Outdated plugins and wordpress versions are also a target for hackers. Plugins are a software component that adds a specific feature to an existing software application, typically used for galleries, contact forms, and sliders on your website.
When developers release new versions of their software, it's posted publicly, essentially leaving a trail for hackers to find a loophole in the old software.
What happens when my website is hacked?
- Worst case scenario is that your website goes down and you are unable to access it in a browser and even the admin console.
- Just as bad is that your website gets flagged by Google as being hacked. When visitors google your company the search results will show in bold lettering that the website is considered hacked and advise consumers against clicking on it.
- Until your website is cleaned up, the website is considered hacked by Google. This means that you could potentially lose website rankings, and obviously much of your website traffic. Recovering website rankings can take months and be very costly.
How do you prevent this from happening?
- Stay informed on what's happening on your website. All websites developed by Leap are setup with a Google webmaster account as soon as they launch. Within that account your webmaster has a direct line of (mostly one-way) communication with Google where they tell us if you have broken links, pages not working – or if your website has been hacked. It's important to check this account regularly and fix errors that are being noted there.
- Keep WordPress and Plugins up to date. Old software leaves your website vulnerable to attacks. At Leap we take a manual approach to updates since new software releases can affect your website. Auto updates could break forms and galleries, or cause other formatting issues.
- Have website safety monitoring on your website. Website security companies will monitor your website daily for any suspicious files and promptly notify you and remove files that are suspicious.
- Install a firewall on your website. A firewall routes web traffic through a separate server determining whether it's safe traffic or not before allowing it to go to your website. This does not cause a delay for the end user.

Unfortunately website security is becoming a prominent issue and we urge you to consider investing in security for your website. If you are interested in our website safety packages featuring firewalls by Sucuri, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Nick Cannon, otherwise known as Mr. Mariah Carey, is spending the first week of the new year in the hospital, with Carey by his side.
Carey tweeted that Cannon is suffering from "mild kidney failure." His representative confirmed Cannon's hospitalization. He is in Aspen, Colo., where he and Carey were vacationing.
Carey posted a picture on her website of a miserable-looking Cannon in a hospital bed as she lay beside him. She asked for prayers and said Cannon's situation was "very painful."
She later called it a "serious moment that's very tough on all of us."
Cannon is 31. His representative had no further information Wednesday about his condition, but said he is still hospitalized.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Tonight-Saturday. Gregory Dawson is the best choreographer working in Denver today, and, piece by piece, he is transforming the young troupe that performs with the Dawson/Wallace Dance Project into the most interesting company in the city. This weekend's performances are a great chance to see why everyone is watching for their next move. The program includes Dawson's new "fabrica matterasso d'argento," a free-wheeling ballet, set to the music of Alton San Giovanni and inspired by Langston Hughes' poem "Dreams." The piece is an intimate, sensual and surreal marathon that pushes the dancers to the limits. Dawson/Wallace has been going through some changes lately (um, where's Wallace on this program?), but previews of the pieces made clear the company is putting work first. 7:30 p.m. Oct. 11, Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Theatre, 119 Park Ave.; and 7:30 p.m. Oct. 12, Pinnacle Charter School, 1001 W 84th Ave. $28. dawson wallace.org.

Summary: Sydney Bristow was recruited as an undergrad to work for SD-6, which she thought was a government agency. However, when her fiancé is killed by SD-6 agents, she finds out that SD-6 is actually a counter-government agency. Sydney approaches the CIA and becomes a double agent, which means that she goes on SD-6 missions, but passes the information about her missions to her CIA handler, Vaughn. Sydney's father, Jack Bristow, is also an double agent. Both had a distant relationship for years, but their present situation brings them closer together. Sydney and her father spend the first season trying to foil SD-6's missions and preventing them from getting their hands on what they are determined to get. For years SD-6 has fought against FTL and K-Directorate, two crime organizations that are also in the pursue of various artifacts build by the 15th century scientist and prophet, Milo Rambaldi. However, when a new player referred to as "The Man" comes to town, FTL and K-Directorate are put out of business and SD-6 engages in the pursue of this new mysterious opponent. After eliminating SD-6 and all of the other SD cells, Sydney, Marshall, Dixon, Jack, and Vaughn are now fully working for the CIA.

I've been thinking about this for a while now. The only element in life, consistent and impartial, is time – and, more specifically, the passing of time. And, though time and its subdivisions – days,months, years – may have originally been a way to understand the change and passing of seasons, it remains a constant presence in every second of everyone's life, always.
Holy books and their reflected religious codified creeds, on the other hand, state how to live with grand rewards or awful consequences, depending upon personal choices in- or out-of-line with their core concepts. This can lead to a tentativeness for the follower as to how "right" or how "wrong" one is being viewed by an almighty power. It's also led to some great works of art being created, no doubt.
But what if we acknowledged TIME as an omnipresent power, constant and impartial, as stated before? What if we viewed time with reverence and awe? It neither judges nor condones – time appears to be a perfectly balanced spiritual presence. We can use it or waste it … it cares not. Time provides the perfect "spiritual mirror" to reflect back to us the truth of how we've lived our lives in how we've spent the time we've been given – or refused to embrace the gift of time to create a life of uncovered dreams brought from shadows to light.

KAH air velocity sensors are ideal for applications requiring accurate ventilation control. They operate on an innovative hot film anemometer principle. This thin film sensor guarantees accuracy at low air velocity, which is not possible for conventional anemometers with commercial temperature sensors or NTC bead thermistors. The sensor is also much more insensitive to dust and dirt than all other anemometer principles. The KAH delivers high reliability and low maintenance costs. The configuration equipment allows air velocity adjustment of the sensor. The measuring range and the response time can be selected via jumpers by the user. This facilitates easy adjustment to the correct working range upon startup. By use of the supplied mounting bracket, the insertion depth is infinitely adjustable.

At the Asian American Center of Frederick, we work to protect youth in our community from potential lifelong health risks attributed to the use of tobacco and nicotine products. We do this through tobacco/nicotine education and tobacco merchant educational visits.
We offer educational workshops on the health impact of tobacco and nicotine products on health for interested groups or community partners. Lessons can be adjusted based on the audience to include information on:
- Health effects of tobacco and nicotine
- Smoking during pregnancy
- Secondhand smoke
- The connection between tobacco/nicotine and chronic health conditions
It is illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone under 18, and all retailers must I.D. to prevent underage sales. Most people addicted to tobacco and nicotine started while under the age of 18. In partnership with local and state health departments, we are able to provide tobacco merchant education visits at tobacco vendor locations throughout Frederick County.
For more information on how to get involved, contact Ashley Rose Bennett at email@example.com.

The Ultimate Guide to Thanksgiving in Medina, NY
This is a very significant year for us – the holidays are here and we are not stuck in a car driving north for 7 hours. After the last 2 years of staying in Virginia for Thanksgiving, we are once again reunited with family and friends for our very first holiday season back at home.
With that being said, after we published a post about where to go for grub in DC, we decided that we owed our fabulous hometown a similar post. Here is our Ultimate Guide to Thanksgiving in Medina, NY:
Where to Stay: We wholeheartedly disagree that you can't find chic and historic accommodations in this town. On the contrary; we feel some of the best rooms in our region can be found right here in Medina. Whether you are staying with family and need a night to yourself, or you live here and want a special experience, we highly recommend the Hart House Hotel or the Historic Village Bed and Breakfast.
For the NIGHT BEFORE: Face it, Thanksgiving Eve is the biggest party night of the year. Whether you are catching up with old high school friends, or treating your grandmother to a cocktail and a night out (Scott has done this….) Medina has a few nightlife staples. We suggest swinging by O'Brien's to connect with old friends, the Medina Theatre for a cocktail and vintage ambiance, and the only out-of-town spot on this list: Pony's in Middleport (formerly Ed's) for a beer (or several) and a huge mound of chicken fingers. Because let's face it, you need to warm up your stomach for the real bird the following day.
For Take-Out: Thanksgiving Eve is also one of the biggest take-out nights of the year. After you have slaved all day readying the feast (or watched my Mom do it, in my case) treat the chef to a night off before the big dance. You have several options, but may we suggest Mark's Pizzeria, Great Wall Chinese, and Avantis. Oh, and don't forget that Pony's offers takeout as well ;)
For the Foodie: Granted, Thanksgiving is all about the leftovers. In our house, we make Thanksgiving Garage Plates for days after the main event. But if you are looking to cleanse your palette a bit and branch out from the typical Thanksgiving fare, we love Zambistro, Mariachi, de Oro, and the Bread Basket (remember to snag a loaf of bread for all your post-Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches!)
When You're Thirsty: This might be our favorite category – from first thing in the morning to late at night, we feel Medina has some fabulous drink spots. Grab a coffee to get you going at the Shirt Factory Cafe, take your family wine tasting (and then grab a bottle or two to open later!) at Leonard Oakes, and head to 810 Meadworks to sit at the bar and sip something special. I guarantee we will be at all these spots some point this week…
For the Group: There is only so much Cards for Humanity and Apples to Apples one family can take. But if you want to grab a group and head out on the town, consider painting your own pottery at BrushStrokes Studios (a fabulous Christmas gift idea!), problem solve and team build your way through Into the Enigma, or just let loose and throw some bowling balls around at the Medina Lanes.
For Small Business Saturday: We could not be more passionate about giving back and supporting our local businesses. You'll find us out and about on Saturday satisfying our sweet tooth at Della's Chocolates, finding a good read at The Book Shoppe, scoping out additions to our renovated bedroom at ellen j. goods, and stocking up on a variety of teas for the cold weather at The English Rose Tea Shoppe.
For the Fashionista: So maybe you packed your bags lightly for this trip home and need to pick up some duds for the weekend. Or, you are Christmas shopping early for the fashion savvy in your family. Either way, we love Daniels (Just What the Doctor Ordered) for men's clothes, ladies should check out A Lily and a Sparrow or Ashlee's Place (who is celebrating 25 years! Congrats!), and of course you can't forget the littlest ones – Blissett's has the most beautiful collection of children's clothes.
And last but not least, the pinnacle of the holiday weekend takes place on Saturday with the Old Tyme Christmas on Main Street, Medina. Pair that with Small Business Saturday and be satisfied knowing how much good is taking place right here in our hometown. The evening will conclude with fireworks at 5:45 before the Parade of Lights at 6:00. Check out the entire schedule here.
There is no doubt that we will bump into many of you throughout the week, but make sure to stop and say hi. And if you can't find us, just look up – Scott is 6'5 and impossible to miss ;) We love being home for the holidays, and can't wait to spend our first official season back in Medina. Be safe, friends, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Books: Rocket Town Is A Blast
Rocket Town is a sophisticated board book for all ages. The drawings are "hip", modern and highly stylized.. and no wonder, the author Bob Logan is a Dreamworks story artist who has worked on Madagascar and Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs.
The story tells of an astronaut and his canine companion driving through their pickup through Rocket Town. There's so much to see too. Very colorful rockets come alive…big ones, small ones, and one even shaped like a shark.
The only thing I have to say is that I wish the yellow pickup truck was more noticeable in the pages. There's so much detail that I feel it sort of gets lost. However, I do love the imagination of it all and recommend it as a fun book to get as a gift.
Published by Sourcebooks Jabberwocky, this board book retails for $7.99.

Decay Properties of Riesz Transforms and Steerable Wavelets
The Riesz transform is a natural multidimensional extension of the Hilbert transform, and it has been the object of study for many years due to its nice mathematical properties. More recently, the Riesz transform and its variants have been used to construct complex wavelets and steerable wavelet frames in higher dimensions. The flip side of this approach, however, is that the Riesz transform of a wavelet often has slow decay. One can nevertheless overcome this problem by requiring the original wavelet to have sufficient smoothness, decay, and vanishing moments. In this paper, we derive necessary conditions in terms of these three properties that guarantee the decay of the Riesz transform and its variants, and, as an application, we show how the decay of the popular Simoncelli wavelets can be improved by appropriately modifying their Fourier transforms. By applying the Riesz transform to these new wavelets, we obtain steerable frames with rapid decay.

Who were some women pirates?
And what did they do?
Are pirates real today?
Contributions of some famous pirates
How have pirates changed throughout the years?
Mary Read
3.When Mary Read was born she preferred to dress like a boy. Mary quickly got the hang of being a pirate. She married a prisoner, and later saved him from a duel that he probably would have lost. Eventually she was captured and condemned, but before her execution she died from a fever. (F.R. Stockton (author)) (latinamericanhistory.about.com)
6.Sir Francis Drake
- An English mariner who was chosen by Queen Elizabeth I to go on a voyage around the world. (www.infoplease.com). Queen Elizabeth 1 called him "my pirate." (Val Garwood)
2. Modern pirates have changed quite a bit especially in advancements of technology; they have speed boats, radars, sonars and have several ways to communicate. Modern pirates can also use weapons like machine guns, torpedoes, rocket propelled grenades, and Molotov Cocktails. They have every kind of modern gadget of which you can think. Sometimes its even possible for them to have access to satellite communications. Obviously, with all of these modern gadgets you can see they have a totally different style attacking than they did years ago. But their attitude hasn't changed; they are still as aggressive as they were years ago, but a lot has changed about pirates from the 1600's to today. They're not at all like the ones you read about in books.
Also- http://www.history.com/videos/life-aboard-a-pirate-ship#bet-you-didnt-know-pirates
Anne Bonney
4. She came from a plantation, quickly married a sailor, and quickly adapted to his lifestyle, but later left him for Captain Rackham. Rackham was captured, then Anne criticized him and said he was captured because he was a coward. Later she was captured under heavy British fire, but when she was put on trial, she was pardoned. We don't know if she continued to portray herself as a man or not, but she was one of the most famous female pirates of all time.(F.R. Stockton)
5.Sir John Hawkins
- English Admiral who played a key role in capturing and selling slaves. (www.infoplease.com) (1533-1595) Hawkins died of dysentery and was buried in the Caribbean. (Val Garwood)
1. Although most of the pirates today are only people who download things illegally online, there are still some "real" pirates, the ones that commit crime on the water. Pirates are much more technologically advanced today than the ones you see in the movies and read about in books. They have all different kinds of weapons, radars, and ships. Practically all of the pirate attacks occur off the coast of Somalia in the Gulf of Aden.
9.Jean Lafitte
- French pirate in the 19th century who attacked ports across Central America. His journal was found in 1948, and was researched in Texas in 1980. He captured Galveston, Texas.
Facts About Pirates
Because pirates were greedy, they almost never, if ever, buried their treasure.
Pirates believed that piercing their ears would improve their eyesight.
There is no proof that pirates ever used walking the plank as a punishment. It is thought to completely be a Hollywood myth.
They had rules and regulations so they couldn't get too drunk. They also had punishments for lying, stealing, or fighting on board (however, fighting on shore was okay).
So many pirates had eye patches and wooden legs because ships were very dangerous to work in and pirates usually lost limbs and eyes.
Pirates did not find gold and jewels as much as the movies show. They would normally get items such as cloth, clothing, iron, and other they can use to survive and improve their lifestyle.
7. Edward Mansfield
- A West Indian buccaneer who claimed Curaçao, an island in the West Indies, for the Dutch. (www.infoplease.com)
8. Henry Morgan
- A Welsh citizen who joined the buccaneers at an early age.(www.infoplease.com) He was knighted for his accomplishments and then died from alcohol poisoning on his plantation. (Val Garwood)
Where are there pirates today?
12. Today there are many attempted attacks off of the coast of Somalia in the Gulf of Aden. (historyguy.com). As you can see the majority of pirate attacks occur inside of the circle, but these aren't all successful, in fact historyguy.com says more than half of them are unsuccessfull.

Good but a little out of town May 12, 2013
I stayed here in January 2012 and had a pleasant stay. Everything was to the usual YHA standard (clean, comfortable) and I had no complaints.
It is however a little out of town. That's good because it means it's nice and peaceful but just be aware you'll need to walk a little bit to get places. I had a nightmare getting there when I arrived at the train station as the taxi driver didn't know where it was and dropped me off somewhere completely different - this was around 1am, so I wasn't best pleased. So make sure you have the address written down!
I think the rooms were a little bit small but it wasn't really an issue - and the bunks were quite nicely cordoned off (by walls/shelves between them) so they felt quite private.

High School Ministry (Called SHIP)
Welcome to Ship Youth Ministry
The High School Ministry (called SHIP) meets at the church on Sundays from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. We seek to be a safe place where we will grow together in faith, friendship and fellowship with God and one another.
During the school year we have a mid-week discipleship group called "The 12" where we investigate the Bible, check in on how our week has been going and grow together in friendship.
Workcamp, a one week long summer mission trip to repair homes of low income people somewhere in the US, is the annual climax of the High School year.
If you have any questions regarding the high school ministry, please contact Rev. Lou Nyiri through the church office (717-334-1235, ext. 4) or email (email@example.com).

The Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Training Team at Avion Unmanned in Huntsville, AL announces the launch of their Online UAS Training Portal. Designed and developed to prepare groups and individuals in law enforcement and the commercial sector for the challenges they face in the operation of UAS (drones) in the National Airspace System (NAS), the UAS training portal offers self-paced remote training that encompasses recently released Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) UAS regulations.
Avion Unmanned is the UAS division of Avion Solutions, Inc. Backed by over 20 years' experience developing equipment and training for the US Military, the portal utilizes the cloud-based TalentLMS (Learning Management System) in collaboration with seasoned aviation instructors. Training includes courses in aircraft systems, aerodynamics, flight control software, weather, airspace, etc. from the Part 107 Remote Pilot Exam.
Based on the 5-day in-person training course, the Online UAS Training Portal allows students to experience the same proven training criteria used to educate law enforcement and public agencies.
Commercial UAS is proving to be the next big technology boom across the globe!
Avion Unmanned is leading the push for safety standards and quality training to support the long-term growth and adoption of drones by modern industry.
"The only way to be effective with a tool is to be properly trained how to use it," says Taylor Abington, Avion's UAS Program Manager. "By enrolling in Avion's online UAS training, you are sure to be trained to operate your UAS legally, effectively, and most importantly, safely."
Dan Carbone, a retired US Army Maintenance Test Pilot/Instructor Pilot for the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior helicopter platform, spearheaded efforts to make the training comprehensive, relevant, and available at a competitive price. "This is the first opportunity for commercial and public groups in the civilian market to experience this caliber of comprehensive learning," he says.
This elite online training is accessible anywhere in the world for a fraction of the cost of onsite training, while maintaining the quality and integrity for which Avion is known.
"As a member of the FAA's Know Before You Fly campaign, this online training is key to reaching a larger audience while promoting safe and legal flying, support for law enforcement operations, infrastructure inspections, real estate companies, and any of the myriad UAS operators out there," says Abington.
Avion Unmanned is eyeing customizations to the standard training packages to address specific needs and organizations such as aerial photography for construction, mapping and photogrammetry, specific aircraft platforms, and programs that will only be available to police and emergency response units.
