Anton Bauer Battery Mount for Blackmagic Cinema Camera
The Anton Bauer Battery Mount for Blackmagic Cinema Camera allows you to connect an Anton Bauer broadcast DC battery (not included) to the Blackmagic Cinema Camera. A battery in conjunction with the ports on this plate will power the camera plus 2 accessories at the same time and also act as a counter-balance for hand-held, shoulder-mount rigs. The connection cable is a generous 2' long and right-angled. An Anton Bauer battery in conjunction with this mount will provide up to 4 hours of DC power. Shooting in 2.5K will reduce that amount. This plate is attached to the Anton Bauer Matrix Cheese Plate so that it can be mounted to 15mm rods horizontally (rods not included). This allows for the battery and mount to not block the touch screen of the Blackmagic Cinema Camera.
This mount does not come with an Anton Bauer battery. The battery must be rented separately.
There is no manual for this product.

Nvidia Relased Beta Drives Optimized For New Call of Duty
The new driver also adds a new and improved version of TXAA
anti-aliasing to Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and Assassin's Creed III,
allowing GTX 600 Series users to maximize image quality and eliminate
unsightly temporal aliasing in two of the year's most popular games.
Furthermore, there's a new Sparse Grid Supersampling feature for
all GeForce GTX users that improves image quality when using the
advanced anti-aliasing technique, and for SLI users there are new
Hawken, Hitman: Absolution, Natural Selection 2 and Primal Carnage
Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8 packages
are available for desktop systems, and for notebooks there are Windows 7
and Windows 8 downloads that cover all non-legacy products.
Nvidia is improving performance by up to 26% in twenty games. Leading the
charge in the 310.54 beta driver is a 26% boost for the upcoming and
eagerly-anticipated Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, which hits stores tomorrow, followed by an 18% boost for The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, a 17.8% boost for Assassin's Creed III, which arrives in stores November 20th, and a 12.9% boost for Battlefield 3.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 & Assassin's Creed III TXAA Anti-Aliasing
Last March Nvidia announced a new form of advanced anti-aliasing called TXAA,
exclusive to Kepler-based GTX 600 series video cards. Utilizing a custom
anti-aliasing resolve, a temporal filter, and Multisample hardware
anti-aliasing, TXAA is designed to remove almost all aliasing from a
scene, and eliminate temporal aliasing, the distracting movement of aliased lines when the player's viewpoint is in motion in-game.
With today's 310.54 beta driver installed, Kepler GTX 600 series
users will be able to enjoy the full in-game TXAA support of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and Assassin's Creed III.
NVIDIA Fullscene Sparse Grid Supersampling Anti-Aliasing Enhancement
Several years ago Fullscene Sparse Grid Supersampling Anti-Aliasing
was added to the GeForce drivers as an advanced anti-aliasing option for
those with high-end systems. When enabled and correctly configured,
SGSSAA significantly increases the quality of Multisample Anti-Aliasing,
helping remove aliasing that even 8xMSAA struggles with.
Configuring SGSSAA to reach this level of detail can at times be
tricky due to the need to counteract texture blurring that occurs when
using the technique. With a Negative LOD Bias, applied via NVIDIA Inspector, texture quality can be restored, but unfortunately the correct value can only be ascertained through trial and error. But with the latest drivers, users
need only enable Sparse Grid Supersampling in the profile of a
compatible game in NVIDIA Inspector, and the new feature will do the
New SLI Profiles
The GeForce 310.54 beta drivers also include a few new bug fixes, and
a PhysX package compatible with older titles, such as Trine, Unreal
Tournament III, and Metro 2033.

Quirky or freaky metal. Compact, tight, and very agressive guitars when heavy. Vocals range from a brutal roar to quirky almost whiney singing. Hammond-esque jolly circus/merry-go-round melodies in the background, often played by one, some or all of the following: bass, organ/keyboard, accordian, brass section, and kazoo. The music often cuts from brutal death metal to the delightful carnival music. Often also tends to incorporate elements of jazz, ska, Egyption and Turkish influences, 50's rock 'n roll, surf music, noise art, bossa nova, and techno.

The First Letter of John is both particularly inspiring and particularly disjointed, bouncing around as it does from one statement to another with little cohesion. Today's short reading is a perfect illustration of this dual character. The reading brings us through a quick succession of ideas. First we are told that if we sin, then we have "an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one." Then we read that whoever "does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not found in him." Finally we learn that "whoever keeps his word, the Love of God is truly perfected in him."
If I were reading a student paper and encountered these three successive points within such a short span of text, I might write something like the following in the margin: "John, slow down here. Write an explanatory paragraph for each claim, and be sure to tell the reader how they all go together."
It seems that John is going to require us to do this for ourselves. We should start by recognizing that the letter's central theme is love. This is also true of the Gospel of John, the letter's theological foundation: "As I have loved you, so you also should love one another" (Jn 13:34). To love as Jesus loves is no easy task. As Fyodor Dostoyevsky famously articulated in The Brother's Karamazov, "Love in action is a harsh and dreadful thing compared to love in dreams." Love demands; it demands utterly. Mere obedience requires a bit of discipline. Love requires that we call forth the very truth about us: we are made for love. For this very reason, love is also utterly beautiful and transcendent. Only in loving do I experience and express my true wealth.
So keeping God's word is nothing less than both expressing our love for God and experiencing God's very love being perfected in us. We become expressions of the living love of God. To fail to follow God's commandments is to deny both our deepest truth and the truth of God within us.
The commandments of God are, on one level, various, ranging from basic honesty to fulfilling the imperatives of justice. On another level, they are simply expressions of the singular command of love: Love fulfills the law (Rom 13:8). This should not surprise us, since "God is love" (1 Jn 4:8). Where there is no love, there is simply no God; and no matter how well-behaved we are, there is no truth in us.
Love is difficult and demanding precisely because it calls on our deepest selves. Wholly genuine love allows for no half-measures. So, until God's love is perfected in us, we are going to fail again and again and again.
If I focused on my failures, I would be utterly deflated. Today's reading begins with words of comfort: "We have an Advocate with the Father." Do not think this means that Jesus is pleading our cause with the Father, for John ties this to Jesus' sacrifice. I take this to mean that his self-emptying gift for us to the Father is an eternal redemptive expression of his love, perpetually uniting us to the Father. His very redemptive gift is an eternal advocacy on our behalf. This means that he is constantly offering us his mercy even as his love is constantly calling us to live our souls' deepest truth.
For me, the most heroic life is not the one with the grand gesture; it is the one that is most constant in love. This is why, for example, Pope John Paul II declarerd St. Thérèse of Lisieux a doctor of the church. Her "little way" is both simple and profound. As she framed it in her Story of a Soul: "This is how my life will be consumed. I have no other means of proving my love for you than that of strewing flowers, that is, not allowing one little sacrifice to escape, not one look, one word, profiting all by the smallest things and doing them through love."

Hi, Johnnie: Quick question. I know you can answer this, and I've just gotta know!
How deep is McIntosh Lake? Obviously it is variable, but any general ideas? -- Yvonne
Hi, Yvonne: Twenty-five to 26 feet at its deepest, when full.
Doug Staver, president of the Lake McIntosh Reservoir Company, was kind enough to speak with me not just about the depth of the lake, but how it works.
"It's like a big bowl," he said. "There are no drastic changes in its depth."
Most of the deepest part of the lake is around 20 feet deep, he said.
The lake is fed by the Oligarchy Ditch, which enters the lake on its northwest side. Water exits the lake through two 36-inch pipes on its northeast side, at a depth of about 13 feet. Those pipes run for about a mile, parallel to the Oligarchy Ditch, and then feed back into the ditch about a quarter-mile east of Hover Street. Those pipes were installed in the 1800s, Stover said.
So, even if the lake were "drained," there still would be another 7 to 13 feet of water in it. That, Staver said, is called "dead storage."
Now, here's the really interesting part.
Over the winter, the reservoir company installed a flume at the point where water enters the reservoir. Within that flume is telemetry equipment that measures the amount of water flowing into the reservoir. Also, the company has telemetry equipment along the pipes that carry water out of the lake. The equipment at both sites can measure the amount of water flowing in and out of the lake to the cup. Yes, they know how many cups of water flow into and out of the lake.
"There's a considerable amount of water lost to evaporation," Staver told me. "Now we can know exactly how much."
The loss of water to evaporation is shared among shareholders downstream. I understand that the measured amount doesn't include rainfall or runoff from surrounding properties, so that just becomes extra for those downstream.
Yvonne, thanks for that fascinating question. It also led me to an answer for Nathan, who frequently runs around McIntosh Lake and had asked about that flume on the northwest side.

It's exactly 'three' days until the season opener against Montreal Impact on March 10th at BC Place, so to add to the excitement we'll be doing a countdown themed 'Caps Chronicle for each day leading up to First Kick. Let's take a look at the number 'three'.
The number 'three' is a significant one for Vancouver Whitecaps FC this year, particularly during preseason which saw standout performances by Bryce Alderson (36), Jordan Harvey (3), Greg Klazura (32), Michael Nanchoff (13), as well as goals by Camilo Sanvezzo (37), Long Tan (23) and Russell Teibert (31). The summer brings another brace of three's when 33 year old Whitecaps Designated Player Barry Robson joins the team.
It's Currently only 3°C outside, but the temperature won't matter in 'three' days time at 3pm PT when Vancouver Whitecaps FC host their 37th home opener at BC Place. It will be the 'third' time hosting a season opener at BC Place, with the club having previously done so in 1983 and 1984. Anticipation is high, with over 13,000 season tickets sold so far (starting at only $329). Coming off a tremendous preseason, including winning the Disney Pro Soccer Classic last week, the squad is, "Vowing to kick it up a notch," according to one reporter. (Bruce Constantineau - Vancouver Sun)
What's 3 multiplied by 2? That would be 6, and that's where the 'Caps are stationed in the most recent MLSsoccer.com power rankings, up from the 12th spot. "This is a team that not only has skill, speed, toughness and flair in the attacking third," they stated, "they're a group that's goal-hungry." (MLSsoccer.com)
In addition to the powderkeg of attacking power on the roster, a completely transformed backline definitely spurred the jump in power rankings including a healthy DeMerit, a new Argentine centreback and 'three' time World Cup participant Young-Pyo Lee. TSN's Luke Wileman is also optimistic about the 'Caps this year. "Heading into the new year, there is a sense of confidence, optimism and expectation running throughout the club and its fans," he said before calling the 'Caps, "a team capable of challenging for a place in the MLS Cup Playoffs." (Luke Wileman - TSN)
Whitecaps FC continued to add depth to the squad with the announcement yesterday of the addition of Floyd Franks to the roster. The 27 year old midfielder previously played under head coach Martin Rennie, including scoring two goals and 'three' assists in 33 appearances in 2010. "He's different than a lot of players that we have," Rennie said in a statement. "He brings aggressiveness and he can play a number of different positions. He'll add great depth to the squad." (Canadian Press - The Tyee)
'Whitecaps FC Daily' with Peter Schaad is back in its usual 3:00 p.m. timeslot on TEAM 1410 sports radio! For those of you who may have missed past episodes, you can find them HERE!
The show airs every Monday to Friday at 3 p.m. PT on TEAM 1410.
You can always get your soccer fix every Sunday night from '9' p.m. to 11 p.m. PT by tuning into 'Full-Time: Vancouver's Soccer Show' with Tyler Green and Mike Martignago on TEAM 1040. HERE!
West Coast Soccer Weekly is a new podcast hosted by Canadian Soccer News writers Pierce Lang and Michael McColl. For all things soccer on the best coast, including up to date coverage of Whitecaps FC, Highlanders, Men's and Women's Canadian national teams, and local community clubs be sure to listen in HERE!
Have you heard about 'The Soccer Show' with Nigel Reed and Bob Iarusci? Make sure to listen HERE!
As the band Thin Lizzy once sang, "The boy's are back in town!" Which is exactly why Whitecaps' videographer Paul Albi caught up with them during practice today, as they prepared for the big game. (Paul Albi - Whitecapsfc.com)

The No. 12 Radcliffe heavyweight crew seeks another strong showing against an Ivy League opponent when it heads south to take on rival Yale, ranked 15th, in the Case Cup regatta Saturday. The Black and White varsity is looking to knock off the Bulldogs for the second straight year.
Watch From Home
Free, live video will be available here.
Racing Schedule
8:30 a.m. – Third varsity eight
8:50 a.m. – Varsity fours B and C
9:10 a.m. – Varsity four
9:30 a.m. – Second varsity eight
9:50 a.m. – Varsity eight
Last Time Out
The varsity eight hung on to win a thrilling race for the O'Leary Cup, leading a regatta sweep for the Black and White against No. 20 Dartmouth and Syracuse Saturday on the Charles River. The Radcliffe varsity defeated runner-up Dartmouth by 1.6 seconds for the first of five victories on the morning for the Black and White. Video of the varsity race can be seen here.
Survey Says
The first set of Ivy League women's boat polls has been released. Each of Radcliffe's five boats ranks among the top four in the league, with the second varsity eight, varsity four A and varsity four B each ranked second. The varsity eight and third varsity eight are ranked fourth. Saturday's second race pits against each other the top-ranked and second-ranked B fours in the Ancient Eight.
Last Season
Radcliffe posted a three-second win against the Bulldogs to capture the Case Cup last season on the Charles. The teams were even for 1,500 meters before the Black and White took control with a strong sprint. Yale won each of the morning's other three races, including a win by just three-fifths of a second in the second varsity race.
History Lesson
Yale holds a 17-14 edge in the race for the Case Cup, which dates back to 1980. The Bulldogs had won the trophy seven years in a row before Radcliffe's victory last year.
Championship Rivalry
The Radcliffe and Yale varsity eights have combined for 12 EAWRC Sprints crowns (Yale 7, Radcliffe 5) and five national titles (Yale 3, Radcliffe 2).
Scouting the Bulldogs
Yale (3-6) owns varsity wins against Boston University, Columbia and Penn. The Bulldogs also rowed Dartmouth to nearly dead heat, losing only after video review. Yale is coming off a loss to Princeton and Southern California last weekend.

Every marketer or a business owner wants to see their sales skyrocket. And there are numerous ways to promote the business and turn this vision into reality.
Social media is one of the recent advertising methods. But in order to fully benefit from the opportunities that social media has to offer, it's important to think strategically and optimize ad performance.
This article is intended to explore Facebook advertising basics and psychological tricks to help you create a successful Facebook campaign.
Customer success depends on so many factors. Not only your product should meet customers' expectations, but all brand touchpoints are supposed to be smooth and pleasant. Unfortunately, we cannot overrule the human factor and all companies have to deal with accidental bugs, complaints and grumpy customers. Here is where customer service communication comes in. Be it verbal or written, it is like the glue that spell all the differences between churn and loyalty, between dissatisfaction and success.
We prepared a list of rules Bitrix24 success team uses to communicate with customers. Some of them you've probably heard of, but we also share our "secret" gems. Applied to any human interaction, these rules will make you an effective communicator and level up customer service communication in any company.
Scott and Margaret flaunt two very different personalities. While he's always the first to come to the office and the last to leave, she's usually fashionably late. The rest of the team adores her, though, because Margaret is kind, respectful and easy to work with. Despite being a bona fide genius, Scott is unfortunately less so. Try as he might, he cannot seem to score the employee of the month recognition.
It is, after all, where Margaret's unbeatable.
The fact that they are both highly intelligent people notwithstanding, her tact and empathy somehow trump his remarkable outside-the-box thinking. Even with his positive outlook, Scott has never been able to demonstrate the kind of performance his company is looking for. When Margaret was finally promoted into a customer service manager, Scott took a leave of absence to deal with his anger management issues.
In the eternal struggle between soft and hard skills, Margaret's emotional intelligence won another battle against Scott's IQ.
Here's how raw genius hardly stands a chance when well-managed emotion is in the room, and why companies should learn to harness the power of emotionally intelligent people.
Yes, we've done it. By popular request, the 'official' app for QuickBooks integration is out and available to all users, paid or free. This is the first iteration of the app and it syncs information for contacts, companies or accounts between your Bitrix24 and QuickBooks accounts. This is very convenient if you are issuing invoices from QuickBooks, rather than Bitrix24 for example. You will also get notification inside your Bitrix24 account when QuickBooks-issued invoices are paid by the client.
If you have a desktop version of QuickBooks, please use this app instead.
What are the most important prerequisites of a very successful company? The list is too long to recite here. Although the performance assessment of managers and control over customer communications are certainly among them, these processes are difficult to track.
Great news! An updated Bitrix24 Start CRM Page provides a complete Communication, Sales and Workload overview in a convenient single page display.

PASO ROBLES, Calif., Oct. 1, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Heritage Oaks Bank, the wholly-owned bank subsidiary of Heritage Oaks Bancorp (Nasdaq:HEOP), today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Morro Bay branch office of Coast National Bank and related deposits maintained at the branch.
The transaction will include the transfer to Heritage Oaks Bank of approximately $30 million of deposit accounts as of June 30, 2012, the purchase of the branch office at 898 Morro Bay Boulevard and other miscellaneous physical assets related to the branch. Heritage Oaks Bank will pay market value for the building and the physical assets, and a blended deposit premium of 2.2% for the deposits which includes approximately 35.5% non-interest bearing demand deposits. No loans will be transferred.
According to Simone Lagomarsino, President and CEO of Heritage Oaks Bancorp and Heritage Oaks Bank, the purchase of this branch from Coast National Bank should create a positive outcome for everyone involved. "When the purchase is completed, Heritage Oaks Bank will once again be able to serve the Morro Bay community with a full-service branch," she said. "This is great for both banks and for the Morro Bay community." Lagomarsino said that earlier this year, Heritage Oaks Bank reluctantly closed its former Morro Bay branch because its lease was about to expire, and the physical location and size of the branch were not optimal. The bank did not abandon its Morro Bay customers, continuing to serve them by consolidating their deposit accounts into the nearest branch in San Luis Obispo.
Lagomarsino said that when the opportunity to purchase Coast National Bank's Morro Bay branch arose this summer, Heritage Oaks Bank took immediate action. "Our Morro Bay customers have been very loyal. More than 80% of their deposits remained with us since the branch consolidation earlier this year. By purchasing Coast National Bank's Morro Bay branch and combining its deposits with our existing Morro Bay deposits, we can again have a financially robust, full-service presence in Morro Bay." Lagomarsino also said that the branch office's central location and the ability to own rather than lease the property were added benefits of the purchase to Heritage Oaks Bank.
Coast National Bank President and CEO Anita Robinson agreed that the branch sale creates a positive outcome for both banks. "We are competitors but we are also two banks fiercely committed to community banking," said Robinson. "The sale of this branch will help Coast National Bank move ahead with its own growth plans and will also keep a community bank in Morro Bay. We are thrilled that our Morro Bay customers will continue to be served by a locally managed community bank."
The transaction is subject to various customary conditions to closing, most notably regulatory approval by the bank regulatory agencies with authority over each of the banks. The transaction is expected to close before the end of 2012. If and when completed, the purchase will grow Heritage Oaks Bank to a total of 12 offices from Paso Robles to Ventura County.

A recent letter writer asserted his constitutional "right to bear arms" as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the Constitution. This amendment, which guarantees that absolutely anyone has the right to possess absolutely any kind of weapon, was ratified in 1789.
A recent letter writer asserted his constitutional "right to bear arms" as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the Constitution. This amendment, which guarantees that absolutely anyone has the right to possess absolutely any kind of weapon, was ratified in 1789.
In 1789, George Washington carried a sword and his troops carried muzzle-loading rifles. It was also legal to own slaves and women did not have the right to vote!
Am I the only one that thinks things have changed a bit between 1789 and 2013?
If in 1789 Congress had passed an amendment that granted the right to operate a vehicle when that meant to operate a horse-drawn buggy or wagon without any restrictions, would anyone agree that they should be able to operate a car or truck, a locomotive, a commercial airliner or an oil tanker today without any restrictions?
Times have changed in weaponry as they have changed in transportation. The difference is that we have made the necessary changes in the laws governing transportation as those technologies have changed.
But in the laws governing the sale, ownership and type of guns we are allowed to own, many still have an 18th century view of the world.

I am in favor of the rights of citizens to keep and bear arms, but I also realize there should be some sane limits. There is no reason to have high-capacity clips or fully auto weapons. Home defense and/or hunting does not require these.
I do think more training should be required of school personnel for "lockdown" drills. I was an aide in one of my children's kindergarten classes when a lockdown drill happened. Our class had 45 students, two teachers, and me.
When the assistant principle tried the door, one of the teachers ran over and threw the door open! She didn't even look to see who it was!

Record columnist Mike Fitzgerald should get his facts before trashing the Republican Party, Fox News and the punishment farmers have had to suffer due to a smelt fish located in the Central Valley ("Republican Party operating in a parallel universe," Jan. 9).
Farm laborers lost their jobs and their families suffered when the government decided to shut off all water to the farmers' land.
Fitzgerald may viciously attack Fox News but he needs to gather more facts and less fiction. His feelings are not factual enough to publish damaging articles without knowledge of the entire picture.
The column as written was not worthy of a civil and intellectual piece.
If Fitzgerald wants to find fault and write such gut- wrenching garbage, it does seem that he might direct some of his left-leaning propaganda toward "your side" of the political spectrum.
Keep in mind that we living in the Valley know what happened with the little smelt fish and the horrific consequence so many people paid due to wackos making dumb decisions and stupid rulings.

How Healthy is That Smoothie?
By Maylin Rodriguez-Paez, RNChances are you've probably drank a delicious smoothie at one point during your life. They're everywhere — from your fancy organic health stores to the fast food restaurant lining our neighborhood street corners.
Whether they deserve it or not, they are often perceived as healthy.
It's true … smoothies do have some health merits. They're rich in antioxidants provided by all of the tasty fruits they contain. They're also fast, convenient, and relatively easy to make.
For many people on the go, smoothies seem like an obvious, healthy choice. But just how healthy are they?
Most Smoothies Aren't as Healthy as You'd ThinkAs part of an anti-aging program, we should monitor the amount of sugar we eat on a daily basis. A sugar-rich diet can spike our blood sugar levels and increase our risk for numerous diseases, including cancer and metabolic syndrome.
One study has even linked the consumption of sugary drinks to cardiovascular disease.1
Smoothies, depending on how they're made, can sometimes contain more sugar than a can of soda. For example, a popular 20 ounce can of soda has about 69 grams of sugar,2 compared to up to 133 grams in a similar sized smoothie.3
Since some fruits contain more sugar than others, watch out for smoothies that contain watermelon, pineapple, and mangoes. These fruits contain a high amount of sugar and are more likely to increase your blood sugar levels.
Generally speaking, your best bet is to order a smoothie that contains berries, since berries have a lower impact on blood glucose.
Be sure to also investigate the other ingredients that are added to your smoothies. Many places add sorbet, table sugar, and syrups which contain high fructose corn syrup.
Obviously, it's best to skip these unnecessary additions whenever possible.
Smoothies Aren't as "Lite" as You Probably ThinkA smoothie can contain more calories than a dessert. We looked at the calorie count of different smoothies at a popular smoothie joint.
The calories ranged between 250 to 590.4 Contrast that with a typical serving of vanilla ice cream (not light) — 144.7 calories.5
Ask for the nutrition facts at your local smoothie bar. There may be lighter options on their menu.
A Healthier Way to Make SmoothiesIt's actually healthier to eat fruit in its natural state, but we know just how addictive smoothies can be. So, instead of giving them up altogether, consider making them yourself at home. Here are some ways to make them healthier:
- Pick a better "base". Many smoothies use apple or banana juice as the "base". Opt for low calorie almond milk instead. Some almond milk brands contain 40 calories per cup. Low calorie soy milk is available as well.
- Substitute veggies for fruit. Veggies tend to contain less sugar than fruits. There are certain vegetables such as spinach, chard, and kale which give a nice kick to your smoothies without making them taste like vegetables. Go easy on the carrots - they're packed with natural sugars.
- Protein blunts the sugar spike that may occur when eating carbs. Protein signals the body to secrete hormones which keep your appetite at bay. You can add extra protein to your smoothie by including hemp, whey, spirulina, soy, or vegetable protein powders.
- Add fiber in the form of flax seeds, chia seeds, rolled oats, or wheat germ. The fiber slows down the absorption of glucose in your digestive tract. And it fills you up.
- Fat is filling and guards against blood sugar peaks. Consider avocado as a healthy source of fat in your smoothies. Flax seed and olive oil may also be added.
Recipe: Avocado Berry SmoothieHere's a smoothie recipe, courtesy of choosingraw.com. The beauty of this recipe is that it is not heavy on the sugars. Notice it contains healthy fat from avocado and fiber from berries, hemp seeds, and spinach. Use a low 40-calorie almond milk brand.
- 1/2 cup strawberries
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 small avocado
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds
- 1 handful spinach
- 1 1/3 cup almond milk

This kind is suitable for people on the go or who travel. You never have to go through the tedious task of having to find a vehicle big enough to carry your compressor wherever you wanted to go.
The study on the Global Air Compressor market also features a history of the tactical mergers, acquisitions, collaborations, and partnerships activity in the market. Valuable recommendations by senior analysts about investing strategically in research and development can help new entrants or established players penetrate the emerging sectors in the Air Compressor market. Investors will gain a clear insight on the dominant players in this industry and their future forecasts. Furthermore, readers will get a clear perspective on the high demand and the unmet needs of consumers that will enhance the growth of this market.
A rotary vane air compressor uses a rotor and a number of blades in radial slots in the rotor. I do not fully understand how this works, but it has something to do with the rotor turning and the blades sliding in and out of their slots as they keep contact with the housing wall. This somehow creates decreasing volume.
I returned to the job site with my new goodies and soon discovered that I had indeed made the right choice. The compressor started right up and was soon pressurized and ready to go. I hooked up the hose and gun, filled the reservoir with stain, and started systematically applying it to the siding. The portable air compressor was on wheels, and easy to maneuver. I could see the dry wood soaking up the stain and I was happy I'd opted for this method of application. I dreaded the idea of having to brush stain on for hours on end. Once I had the first coat on I let it set for a couple hours while I took a break, then went back out and applied a second coat. This probably would have been sufficient, but I had read that the very best thing to do when applying stain with a sprayer is to go back and brush over the job. Doing this really drove the stain into the wood and allowed it to fill every little pore.
Though this information may not help you a lot in deciding what actual brand and model you should buy, it should help you to at least recognize basic terms. That way you will know the best questions to ask an expert and maybe understand better his answers. That way you can make the best decision according to your needs. After all, the right air compressor will make a lot of your home projects a lot easier and faster to accomplish.
You will need at least one regulator and a water trap in line before the regulator. These are not costly. A regulator allows you to set the correct air pressure for the tool you will be using (say, 80 PSI) instead of tank pressure (say, 175 PSI).
Needing to fill up a tire with air, while you're out and about can be a real challenge. If you're tired of being stuck with deflated tires on the road, you have probably considered ordering a portable air compressor. One of the problems with these types of compressors is the fact that many of them use a car lighter plug to deliver power to the compressor.
Air output of a compressor is expressed in standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) or just cubic feet per minute (CFM). Not all 5 HP compressors put out the same volume of air per minute. This is a function not only of motor horsepower but also the efficiency of the air compressor pump the motor is powering. The higher the CFM, the less your air compressor will have to cycle on and off to keep up with the demands you are putting on it. A small compressor pump on a huge tank will produce no more air than on a small tank. The only difference will be in the number of times the compressor cycles on an off each hour and the time it takes to recompress the tank on each cycle. In the final analysis, you need to pay attention to SCFM (or CFM) more than you do motor horsepower or tank size. Air flow is the end product of any compressor and the CFM must be sufficient to the job at hand.
All reciprocating air compressors throw out some oil with the air they compress. When the tank reaches its designed pressure limit, a switch will interrupt electrical power to the motor. Simultaneously, a certain amount of oily air will be released into the shop environment. You may see oil collecting on the wall behind the compressor and on the pump and compressor as well over time. This is not cause for alarm but periodic cleaning may be needed.
An important factor is also the factor of oil. The oil is used for lubrication of moving parts of the compressor, but it also has some side effects. For example, traces of oil can be found in the tubes that deliver air to your airbrush tool, so it can be mixed with paint. This problem is more pronounced if the compressor is older. One possible solution is to purchase an oil free air compressor.
Make sure that your air compressor pump is the most appropriate one for your tank. This way you can use your equipment to its fullest and to avoid accidents and injuries while working. It is important that you be able to identify which pump is the best for your nature of work, because there are many types of air compressor pumps available.
Most industries prefer the industrial air compressor for their convenience. But even home owners could keep an air compressor pump around, for their needs. There are a variety of portable air compressors available.
For the people who want a more powerful model, there is Westward 4B220 portable air compressor. This machine uses a powerful Briggs engine. Its powered by a powerful 5.5 HP motor. The machine uses a 2 cylinder pump made of cast iron. It has a horizontally placed tank which has a rated capacity of 20 gallons. It uses a four cycle aluminum block engine. The machine has 21 oz engine oil capacity and 12 oz of compressor pump oil. The machine uses a time tested reliable type H tank which makes it one of the longest performing and most reliable machines that you can buy.
One of the most important things that you need to pay attention to is the noise factor. Most of airbrush compressors are extremely loud, so you need strong nerves to withstand all that. More expensive and more sophisticated models do not have these problems, but the question is how much it's worth. You have to find a balance when it comes to your needs and budget.
An oil lubed pump has a longer life with less wear than an oil free air compressor. These also come in various sizes and are great for home use.
Like most other machines and even robots, this kind of machine has its types that serve a particular kind of industry, or even hobby. The evolutions did not only make the air compressor pump dependable equipment it has become more reliable too.
As well as various types of compressors, there are two main types of pumps that are used in them, oiless and oil lubed.
One time we were working together on a small project that John had lined up for us. I was all powered up and fully charged with air pressure like normal. Everything seemed just fine. I heard the buzz of electric saws and saw the normal saw dust flying around. Then, all of a sudden, and without any warning, my breath was taken away from me in a gush! I thought I was going to die. John had accidentally set his circular saw down on my hose and cut into it. It alarmed me at first, but before long John had me all fixed up and back to work we went. Ah, such is the life of a portable air compressor.
Oil free systems are a bit more technical so sometimes are more expensive. Often they are louder than an oil lubed compressor, but the air delivered through one of these pumps is of a better quality. They are found for home use, and are great because they are low maintenance and start up quick in cold weather.

I hope this information has been useful to you. Buying an air compressor for your woodworking shop can be a fairly expensive investment when you consider piping, regulators, hoses, water traps, wiring and electricians. You will want to buy a compressor that is capable of the tasks you will be using it for but no more than that. Purchasing the wrong air compressor can be a very expensive mistake. My motivation in writing this has been to give you the knowledge you will need to select the right one.
So air compressor manufacturer will find ways to create breakthroughs to be able to meet industries changing needs. But the most important thing you need to look into is safety.
Reciprocating air compressors use pistons that are driven by a crankshaft. These types of compressors come in all sizes, from small and portable to large and industrial compressors. Some are powered by electricity, and others with an internal combustion engine.
If you drive a large truck, with huge tires, you may find that the VIAIR 90P Portable Compressor s lacking a bit when the time comes to fill up your tires with air. This particular, portable compressor is designed more to be used with standard size car tires. It can easily inflate a flat 31 inch tire in just a few minutes. Once you hook up the VIAIR 90P Portable Compressor to your car battery, the compressor goes right to work, delivering air flow at up to 120 psi. That kind of air pressure doesn't instantly inflate car tires, but it will get the job done in a few minutes, which is a heck of a lot quicker than dealing with a potentially dangerous tire change on the side of the road.
Also, the portable air compressor is useful in hobbies like scuba diving. To make breathing underwater possible, an air compressor for scuba was made. This type of air compressor pump has made possible major breakthrough in the study of marine life. It has helped many adventurers explore the beauty of the sea.
A few years ago I got a letter from my cousin back in Florida. He is a portable air compressor too. He works with a roofing company contractor. I could never do that sort of work because I am too big. Luckily, my cousin is just the right size and can be used up on the roof. I guess the workers just take him right on up and secure him to their roofing jacks. This seems dangerous to me, but different strokes for different folks.
This Report explores the global Mute Oil Free Air Compressor market with regards to product type, application service, end users, and geography. The global Mute Oil Free Air Compressor market covers major regions.
And, often times, these compressors end up blowing more car fuses than they do blowing up flat tires. The VIAIR 90P Portable Compressor, however, avoids these kinds of mishaps by drawing power directly from your car's battery. It uses heavy duty alligator clips, like those on your jumper cables, to hook up easily to the battery for power to this compressor, no matter where you are.
An Air compressor pump is indeed indispensable in the highly industrial world where many machines come and change the way production and work is done. Almost all of these machines go through a series of evolution to attend to the changing needs of many industries.
Screw compressors consists of two helical rotors which are used in compressing external air to a set pressure, ensuring dry, clean, and compressed air. The find increasing application in segments such as chemicals and petrochemicals processing, food & beverages, metals & mining, automotive, power plants, and oil & gas where large volume of high pressure air is needed especially to drive machine tools.
The most common is the piston compressor. This falls under the positive displacement compressors, which you can find in fractional to very high horsepower ranges. The positive displacement air compressor works by filling an air chamber with air and reducing the chamber volume.
If you are planning to buy air compressor, here are some guidelines that you should follow to avoid common errors. There are many sites on the web, but you need to read airbrush compressor buyers guide first.
For anyone who wants to purchase air compressors, there are a number of products out there. In case you want really good and reliable quality products for very affordable prices, you should look for Westward air compressor products. These products are designed to deliver high performance for prolonged periods of time. They are designed to be easy to use and at the same time these machines are also very powerful. If you want to make a long term investment., Westward products are what you should be looking at.
I found a nice air powered air gun at a local hardware store. At first it seemed just perfect. I was about to buy it when I noticed on the little description card that it was not recommended to be used with a compressor smaller than 6 gallons. Dang! The portable air compressor I had was only a small 2 gallon pancake compressor. That just wouldn't cut it. I had to buy a larger unit so that I could get the gun, so that I could finish the house project. See how this goes.
With nearly 40 online reviews from actual customers, the VIAIR 90P Portable Compressor has an above average customer score of 4.5 out of 5 stars. No, it's not a heavy duty compressor to use in the garage or on carpentry projects, but the VIAIR 90P Portable Compressor is a great tool to have on hand to inflate tires or possibly pool floats and sports balls. It does the job quickly, and is a nice tool to have in the trunk of your car for those little emergencies that pop up when you need quick air in your tires.
My familiarity with manufacturing hardwood furniture has taught me that about half the time involved in constructing each chair, table or cabinet is taken up with sanding. When you are trying to make a livelihood in the woodworking industry with hourly employees you must cut inefficiency to a bare minimum. This does not mean becoming a tyrant but, instead, removing any and all impediments that may be slowing construction, sanding and finishing.
I looked over my options and soon settled on a 20 gallon portable air compressor that would not only adequately run this particular tool, but would also serve my needs going forward. You never know what use you might find for such a great machine. Being able to power up and use tools with pressurized air is clean, efficient, powerful, and fun.
I happen to be just a small portable air compressor. I live with a nice man named John who owns a small construction business. He takes me with him wherever he goes. Usually, we visit job sites where John goes up to other men and talks to them about important stuff. I just hang out in the truck waiting patiently. Sometimes, John will come back to the truck and take me out to start working. These are the good days. Other times, we have to drive off and come back another day.
Years later, I built a smaller woodworking shop in my home which only required one air sander running at a time. For that shop, I purchased an air compressor half the size and isolated it in a soundproof room in one section of the shop. I ran galvanized pipe under the shop floor to three regulators at three different connection locations. The machine I purchased for that shop as a 5 HP Ingersoll Rand model with an 80 gallon tank. At the 80 PSI required by my Dynabrade sander, the compressor would produce enough air from morning to night. I must say that that compressor was very well built. All I had to do was keep an eye on the oil level in the sight glass. At night, I would turn off the master air valve on the side of the air compressor, leaving the electricity on, to silence the compressor until the next work day.
I recommend that you buy a compressor with an air tank. It produces constant air flow, unlike the diaphragm model, which creates pulsation. You have to choose as large as possible reservoir tank. It provides constant, smooth air flow.
Further, the research analysts add a detailed summary of the value chain and its distributor analysis. This Mute Oil Free Air Compressor market study presents broad data which boost the understanding, scope, and application of this report.
A rotary screw compressor uses screws to force the gas into a smaller space. These can be quite compact or larger for industrial uses. The tighter the threads on the screws, the greater the compression. This type of compressor does tend to run a bit smoother and with less vibration than other types.
Compression not only produces heat but squeezes water out of the air which ends up in the tank. Tanks can rust internally over time and if this is not controlled, the rusted air tank can eventually explode causing considerable damage and even death. That is why it is really important to evacuate the tank of water regularly. Most air compressors come equipped with a drain valve at the lowest point of the tank. If you dont want to spray water all over the floor under the unit, you may want to consider piping it from the valve to another place such as under the floor or into a drain. Piped water will flow uphill into a sink because it is being pushed out of the tank by compressed air.
A portable air compressor comes in many shapes and sizes. We are only truly portable if we don't get too big. As long as we can be moved around easily and used where needed then we are considered truly portable. Once we get too big, then we are relegated to shop work and other stationary jobs. I pity these poor fools. It would be boring to just sit in one shop all day. I like getting out and seeing different places and meeting different people. I think it keeps me young.
For tools that require greater pressure, or if you use multiple tools back to back, then you need a two stage compressor.
Now, most of these you do not have to know anything about, but if you are a layman, you can clearly see that there is a lot more to compressors than first meets the eye. For general use with tools, an air compressor is most likely to be a reciprocating piston, a rotary vane or rotary screw compressor.
A portable air compressor is what made this job not only possible, but also enjoyable and satisfying as well. Who knows when I might use it again. I am, however, glad that I have what I need now to do all sorts of jobs I couldn't do before.
Armed with a bit of information, and knowing my husband and how he will use his compressor, I was soon on my way to purchasing the right Powermate Coleman air compressor for him for Christmas. I hope this information will help you too!
You cab always rely on the air compressor pump to address your needs. High pressure air is a precious resource, especially in industries because it is safe, convenient, clean and flexible. Industries have been relying in it for over a century.
I like my life as a portable air compressor. If you own one of us, please treat it kindly. Keep it oiled, adjusted, well maintained, and take care not to set your saw down on its hose. If you do those simple things your compressor will be your friend for a very long time.

Boston public radio station WBUR announced it has signed an agreement with Aritaur Communications to acquire WMVY-FM commercial radio station in Tisbury on Martha's Vineyard.
Boston public radio station WBUR announced it has signed an agreement with Aritaur Communications to acquire WMVY-FM commercial radio station in Tisbury on Martha's Vineyard.
The sale of WMVY's 92.7 FM signal means that WBUR will extend its broadcast area to Martha's Vineyard and most of Cape Cod and Nantucket, as well as the Massachusetts 'SouthCoast' including New Bedford, Fall River, Falmouth, Westport and Marion, according to a press release this morning.
WMVY, known on air and online as mvyradio, plans to create a nonprofit, commercial-free business model.
"We believe that the islands, Cape Cod and SouthCoast are important parts of the community we cover and serve," said WBUR General Manager Charlie Kravetz. "WBUR has long wanted to meet demand from listeners in this region who have been unable to hear our signature programs and outstanding local news reporting."
The changeover is expected for early next year, pending FCC approval. At that time, WBUR will broadcast its signal on 92.7 FM, a 3,000-watt station reaching more than 60,000 prospective new listeners. This will be in addition to WBUR's current 50,000-watt signal on 90.9 FM which broadcasts across all of metropolitan Boston and eastern Massachusetts.
Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Aritaur Communications, which has owned WMVY since 1998, will transfer WMVY's programming and all other assets to the nonprofit Friends of mvyradio, according to the press release. The goal is to continue broadcasting mvyradio's music programming through its online live streaming at www.mvyradio.com, "and look for a more affordable solution to return to the FM airwaves."
The homepage of WMVY's website was replaced this morning with news of the sale and a plea to pledge to the non-profit Friends of mvyradio. The goal is to raise $600,000 in pledges by the end of January.
"Only the FM signal has been sold to WBUR. Aritaur is contributing mvyradio's programming, online content, equipment and staff to the non-profit Friends of mvyradio," the posting stated. "So, the core is there."
"That means mvyradio, as you know it -- all the music, personalities, shows and web content -- can live on as a non-commercial, internet public radio station."

TIFFIN, Ohio – Enough about the high-powered Heidelberg University offense, which will finish the season as one of the most potent in the nation.
Enough about the resurgent 'Berg defense, among the nation's leaders in sacks, interceptions and points allowed.
It's time to give some love to the Heidelberg's special teams. After all, they just might have vaulted the Student Princes into the postseason for the first time since 1972.
In the fourth quarter of the 35-34 win against Baldwin Wallace University, Heidelberg blocked an extra point and a would-be game-winning 35-yard field goal.
On the game's final play, BW kicker Chris Mohler lined up for the kick on the right hash. A low snap was handled by holder Andrew Dziak, but Quentin Rembert (Euclid) dove through the line and deflected the kick which came to rest in the end zone. Heidelberg fans stormed the field in celebration
The win propelled Heidelberg to their first nine-win season since the historic 1972 Stagg Bowl Champion team.
Whether Heidelberg's season will extend into the playoffs is up the NCAA Division III Football Selection Committee. The Student Princes hope to be one of seven schools to receive an at-large berth into the 32-team tournament. The tournament field will be announced on Sunday at 6 p.m.
Lost in the excitement surrounding the games conclusion were several outstanding performances by Heidelberg's student-athletes. Freshman running back Bryan Lacey (South Euclid/Benedictine), thrust into a starting role because of an injury to Cartel Brooks (Kokomo, IN/Galion), ran for 201 yards. Senior linebacker Craig Sykes (Centerburg) led the Student Princes with a career-high 19 tackles.
Heidelberg (9-1, 8-1 OAC) scored first, as a 5-yard rush by Dontez Smith (Avon Lake) capped a four-play 68-yard drive. Dan Kilger (Novi, MI) connected on the first of five extra points on the day to give Heidelberg a 7-0 lead.
Two possessions later, Baldwin Wallace (7-3, 6-3 OAC) answered when Tyler Lohr had his own five-yard touchdown rush. Mohler's extra point tied the game.
Momentum quickly returned to the Heidelberg sideline. Robert Gray (Cincinnati/North College Hill) returned the ensuing kickoff in to Yellow Jacket territory. Two plays later, Heidelberg regained the lead on a 42-yard touchdown pass from Michael Mees (North Ridgeville) to Mario Escalante (Highland Hts., KY/Newport Central Catholic).
Mees finished 13-for-25 passing for 193 yards, two interceptions and a touchdown.
On the next BW possession, the Yellow Jackets used two unusual plays to tie the game at 14. With the ball on the Heidelberg 48, tight end Josh Masters took a lateral from quarterback Ryan O'Rourke and launched it to a wide-open Aaron Manders, who was tackled at the five. Three plays later, Lohr took a handoff from O'Rourke and completed a jump-throw touchdown pass to Masters in the back of the end zone.
After an interception thrown by Heidelberg, BW took their first lead of the game when Nolan Sordyl punched it in from the one.
Heidelberg answered when Mees scored his first of three touchdowns. His first touchdown capped a seven-play 66-yard drive.
Undeterred, the Yellow Jackets regained the lead when Sebastian Zuluaga broke a 31-yard touchdown rush on 3rd-and-1. The Yellow Jackets would be penalized for excessive celebration on the play.
Leading 28-21 with 0:42 seconds left in the first half, BW chose to squib the kickoff from their 20 due to the penalty on the touchdown. Austin Bentz (Tiffin/Columbian) returned the bouncing ball back to the BW 48.
Using a defensive pass interference penalty and a 20-yard completion to Donteea Dye (Fairfield), Heidelberg faced 1st-and-10 from the BW 13 with 0:27 in the half. Following a timeout, Mees dropped back to pass, but wisely scrambled forward for a touchdown, faking several BW defenders on the way.
Tied at 28 in the third, both defenses stiffened and forced several punts. Late in the third, BW's Tim Goebel intercepted his second pass of the game. O'Rourke found the end zone on a two-yard rush to give Baldwin Wallace a 34-28 lead. On the point after try, senior Stephen Fejedelem (Ravenna) batted down the kick.
Trailing in the fourth quarter for only the second time all season, Heidelberg's offense responded with a seven-play 63-yard touchdown drive. The drive, which featured a heavy dose of rushes by Lacey, was capped by Mees' third touchdown rush of the contest. Kilger put Heidelberg on top 35-34 with the extra point.
On the year, Kilger is a perfect 48-of-48 on extra points, a Heidelberg record for extra points in a single season.
Baldwin Wallace, trailing by a point, drove to the Heidelberg 19 yard line. Faced with 4th-and-4, BW head coach John Snell elected to go for it, rather than attempt a 36-yard field goal. O'Rourke's pass, intended for Gabe Adams, was broken up by Tim Littles (Swartz Creek, MI).
With the ball and a one-point lead, Heidelberg's offense ate nearly four minutes off of the clock before being forced to punt. The punt from Colin Bultinck (Lafayette, IN/Jefferson) was fair-caught by BW at their 13 yard line with 1:53 left to play.
O'Rourke completed three straight passes, scrambled for seven, and then completed another pass to move the ball into Heidelberg territory. Following a face-mask penalty against Student Princes, Baldwin Wallace had the ball on the Heidelberg 18. Sykes sacked O'Rourke on first down for a modest two-yard loss. Zuluaga rushed ahead for a two-yard gain, which set up the field goal attempt that ended the game.
"I'm proud of my team, with how we've stepped up this season and at the end of this game," said Sykes. "We've built this program over the past four years and we made It through some strife."
When head coach Mike Hallett took over the Heidelberg program, the team was on a 36-game losing streak. Now, six years later, his team is on the cusp of the NCAA Playoffs.
"I can think of nothing more fitting than seeing this group of guys, with the character and attitude they have, become the greatest of Heidelberg's teams," said Hallett, as he addressed a crowd of Heidelberg players and fans gathered in front of University Hall for the ringing of the victory bell.
Baldwin Wallace finished with 502 yards of total offense, compared to 451 for Heidelberg.
Heidelberg set two offensive team records in the victory. With 4,745 yards of total offense for the season, Heidelberg eclipsed the old record of 4,598 yards set in 2010. On the final touchdown of the game, the 2012 team moved ahead of the 1949 squad for points in a season. The 2012 club has 374 points, while the 1949 team had 368.
