November 30, 2010 – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given 510(k) clearance for a suite of clinical applications that is directly integrated into PACS and cardiovascular systems. FujiFilm Medical's Synapse 3D is vendor neutral, multi-modality capable, and can be used with virtually any advanced imaging system.
It also provides access to advanced diagnostic tools without the need for separate workstations.
Several diagnostic clinical tools, ranging from 2-D, 3-D and 4-D viewing, to dynamic data, fusion (including PET, MR, CT and SPECT) and sector MPR (multi-planar reconstruction) are included.
Because it is integrated directly into the company's Synapse PACS and Synapse Cardiovascular, it is enterprise capable and available at any workstation where Synapse PACS is available. From the power jacket or "quick launch" mode, it can be readily accessed with just one click. This provides a more efficient workflow for clinicians by eliminating the need to access separate workstations with additional logons, while still maintaining security levels. It also automatically imports the advanced analysis back into the PACS and cardiovascular information (CVIS) systems, creating one common information database and image storage location.
"Synapse 3D has proven to be an incredibly valuable tool during our research, particularly its PET-MR fusion capabilities for diagnosing epilepsy and the utility of neurovascular calcium scoring for predicting stroke," said Meng Law, M.D., director of neuroradiology, LAC and USC Healthcare Network. "The powerful and efficient post-processing capabilities have allowed us to see much more information to better support our diagnosis and patient care decisions, in some cases even enabling us to avoid surgeries. We're all looking forward to the wide-scale rollout and the regular use of Synapse 3D by countless physicians and specialists across the LAC and USC Healthcare Network."

Bay Shore's Syrett finds relief in sports
When Mary Drago got word that her friend had died, she rushed to the family home and was understandably distraught.
Courtney Syrett consoled her. Somehow.
It was Marianne Syrett, Courtney's mother, who had passed just two hours before, succumbing at 52 to leukemia.
But there was Courtney, with an arm around her field hockey coach and providing the reassuring words.
Courtney, a star athlete at Bay Shore, is probably best known for leading the Marauders to the 2011 Suffolk Class AA softball championship - coming off crutches while still recovering from an ankle injury and blasting a dramatic home run, which preceded a Kirk Gibson-esque hobble around the bases.
But it was on February 20 of this year, perhaps, when the teenager's strength and resolve was truly displayed. "To have gone through what she has during high school without ever faltering is remarkable," Drago said.
Marianne Syrett had first been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009, during Courtney's freshman year. She was the third player on Bay Shore's field hockey team to lose a parent since 2010.
"I'm doing pretty good now," Syrett, a senior, said last week. "I'm still getting used to doing things on my own instead of relying on a parent. It's always going to be tough without her, but I'm getting better."
She has gotten better on the field, as well. Sports provided "a good distraction for me," she said, and there was no hesitation in going forth with softball in March.
"Courtney has always been able to handle any situation at any moment," said Drago, who is close to the Syrett family. Courtney is her babysitter and her older sister, Justina, was a standout goalie for the Marauders. "She's always had this amazing poise and calmness, which makes her such a great leader."
Throughout softball season, Syrett wore pink wristbands with her mother's initials and channeled her emotions on the diamond. She her best season yet, batting .553 with six homers, again earning Newsday All-Long Island honors, and committing to Ole Miss.
Syrett has locked in, too, as a field hockey player. The midfielder, who scored 13 points last season, is now captain of a Bay Shore squad off to a surprise 5-1 start. She scored the deciding goal in a 3-1 upset of Ward Melville last Tuesday.
"A couple years ago, maybe she didn't take [field hockey] as seriously," Drago said. "Now she realizes that she loves the sport. Maybe not as much as softball, but she loves it and she definitely loves this team. This group has been through a lot over the years, and I think all that has brought us together."
Bay Shore will host its annual breast cancer fundraiser game on Oct. 13, before their game against Connetquot. "[Marianne] was like the team mom," Drago said. "She would knit scarves for the breast cancer games and everyone would buy them. She was wonderful. It's not surprising that her daughters are the way they are based on how the parents were."
Before each game now, she inscribes "MS" on her forearm as a reminder and motivator.
"She's constantly in my thoughts," Syrett said of her mother. "Everything I do now, I do it for her."

Research professor
Research interests
Social Anthropologist, specialises in Arctic Anthropology, particularly the Russian Far North. Interests lie in the human role in reindeer herding systems, arctic economy, nomadism, indigenous knowledge, resource extraction and native populations, industrial migration, centre-periphery relations.
My research interests are in the anthropology of nomadic societies with a special focus on reindeer herders. Since my first research project I have been engaged in the study of reindeer herding, fishing and hunting peoples of Siberia, looking at their adaptations to social, economic, political and ecological change. My research tries to capture the dynamics of arctic societies from the points of view of the reindeer herders. However, indigenous peoples in the Russian North have never been the isolated subsistence herders or hunters as they are frequently portrayed in the media and popular accounts.
At the heart of my analyses lies the interaction between the nomadic and sedentary parts of the population. The interaction between reindeer herders and fishermen, oil-and gas workers, administrators and traders tells us about the nomads' adaptability to the changing conditions of their surroundings. They also reveal the adaptability of the other side, labour migrants from the south to the arctic tundra.

No place for archaic and unfair funding system for student groups.
There are more than 10,000 incorporated societies in New Zealand. Most of these groups are funded through membership fees, fundraising and donations.
The exception is compulsory student associations. Because of an anomaly in the Education Act, these incorporated societies don't have to earn their income. Instead compulsory associations are funded by people who are forced to pay union levies if they want to study in a tertiary institution.
So unlike the Red Cross, the SPCA or the Automobile Association, compulsory student associations receive their income without any effort whatsoever.
Compulsory associations have developed a culture of entitlement. They receive unearned income, receive windfall increases as student numbers rise, and are able to raise their compulsory fees by a simple vote of 100 or so students.
For student politicians such as Dave Crampton, vice-president of Massey University's Extramural Students' Association, the defence of compulsory membership equates to a desire to defend the free money delivered by compulsion.
In 2009 his association received $612,000 from compulsory membership.
Other associations also do well out of compulsion. In 2009 the Otago University Students Association received $1.3 million from compulsion; the Victoria University Students Association took in $1.5 million.
When compulsory membership delivers free money like this it's easy to understand why student politicians don't want the goldmine to close.
Now a change to the Education Act promises to end compulsory membership. Student politicians are trying to argue that student associations should continue to receive income without any effort. So while the Salvation Army and the Red Cross have to work hard to raise funds, student politicians think compulsory unions are entitled to money for nothing.
Crampton's defence of compulsion is based on the claim that compulsory associations provide "services". This claim is unfounded. The provision of services is no basis for compulsion; the AA provides excellent services but we don't force people to join that organisation.
Secondly, most core student services such as health and counselling are provided by institutions not student associations. These services are funded by students through fees paid directly to institutions and will not be affected by the voluntary membership legislation.
Crampton claims that the introduction of voluntary membership "would lead to an immediate increase in the compulsory student services levy". Under voluntary membership tertiary councils will have the option of charging students for activities previously provided by compulsory associations.
But councils will have to decide if they want to increase the cost of tertiary education in order to fund radio stations, pay wages for political organisers or subsidise tiny numbers of students to go skiing. If institutions have doubts about imposing such costs on all students they will belatedly gain an insight into the dissatisfaction felt by thousands of students who for years under compulsory membership have had to pay for activities they don't want, use or value.
Moreover, Crampton has no way of knowing if student association activities are actually services. Under compulsion students have no choice about their purchase and many are forced to pay for services they don't want or need. If your money is wasted on an activity that has no value to you, it is not a service.
The arguments against voluntary membership are an admission that student associations are not providing students with services they want and at prices they would willingly pay. Student politicians have to understand that the nature of their organisations is about to fundamentally change. As students will no longer be forced to pay levies, associations will have to reduce their fees to levels that students will freely pay.
This will reduce associations' income and will mean that their current structure, inflated by compulsory membership, is unsustainable.
The price of membership will be key.
Voluntary associations will need to be restructured to levels that can be maintained by voluntary fees.
Student politicians know that their current fees are too high; if they fail to reduce their prices, very few students will join and membership levels will be low. If this happens it will not be caused by voluntary membership but rather by the failure of association leaders to adapt to the new reality.
A situation in which associations have to live within their means is not an onerous imposition on associations. It is merely putting associations on the same footing as other incorporated societies that need to earn income and, if they want to remain viable, cannot spend more than they earn.
Legitimate associations have an important role to play in tertiary institutions.
Instead of trying to defend an archaic and unfair funding system, student politicians should concentrate on building organisations that students choose to join.
It is time for student associations to give up the entitlement mentality, join the real world and become organisations that students want to freely join.
* Lauren Brazier is spokeswoman for Student Choice, a group promoting voluntary membership of student associations.

Living Hope Sermon Series:
Pastor Clark and Pastor Tim believe that God uses the preaching of His Word to call His people to repentance, renewal and rejoicing. We believe the Scriptures are essential to the life of Living Hope so expository preaching has a central place in our corporate worship. The authority of preaching is found in authoritative Word of God. We believe that God uses the systematic preaching through various books of the Bible to establish and extend His authority. Our pastors strive by God's grace to prepare their sermons prayerfully and diligently seeking to bring the grammatical historical truths of the texts to the attention of the listeners in a practical, relevant way. The sermons are posted here to be used as appropriate: catch a sermon that was missed, as a mid-week review, or to pass along to others in order to encourage them. May God richly bless His Word to the heart of the hearer!

Transportation Safety Plan
Transportation Services
School Bus Safety
Did you know that riding in a school bus is much safer than using any other form of transportation - including personal vehicles, railroad and airline travel? The color and size of school buses make them easily visible and identifiable, their height provides good driver visibility and raises the bus passenger compartment above car impact height. The flashing red lights require drivers to stop, a stop sign arm swings out during boarding, cross view mirrors help drivers see children around the bus and reinforced sides resist side impacts.
Transportation Services
In support of teaching and learning the Transportation Department provides approximately 5,000 students with safe and efficient school bus transportation. This helps to ensure student access to the educational program, promote regular attendance and reduce tardiness. We also provide busing for field trips and other school-related activities.
Our Safety and Training personnel provide mobility and transportation training for students, as well as an extensive training program for bus drivers. All drivers have thorough background checks and they receive specialized training. This includes classroom and behind-the-wheel training driving a school bus, student loading/unloading procedures, student evacuation, student behavior and security management, and emergency medical procedures. Also, all school bus drivers are required to participate in random drug and alcohol testing, undergo frequent driving record checks, and pass periodic medical exams.
Fleet Maintenance
The Fleet Maintenance Mechanics maintain all school buses and district vehicles to the highest safety and service standards according to the regulations set forth by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and Department of Transportation (DOT). This includes a vehicle safety inspection and service every 45 days, and regular terminal inspections by the CHP. The Mechanics are also required to participate in all Bus Driver safety training and testing to ensure that the Transportation Department can provide the safest and most efficient service for our students.

As your talking about a NAT product and the external IP may be shared by hundreds of customers then you cannot set your own ptr and it is entirely unsuitable for email related tasks anyway as you only get 20 ports, while you can in principal send email from it you wont have rDNS so you really should not unless it is just to have your server email you e.g. alerts etc.
Hope that helps.

Question is about Virtwire's non-LES products which have dedicated ipv4. The LES forum isn't really the right place to ask about non-LES plans, though it happens sometimes. But in principle the right way to ask about those products is by pre-sale ticket with the host.
then COMPLETELY ignore me, sorry.

You might assume that heading out to a restaurant in Germany is just the same as in the rest of Europe. In fact, there are some distinct differences.

Arriving at the restaurant

Firstly, when you arrive at a restaurant don't be surprised if you have to find your own table. At smarter restaurants the serving staff will probably find you a table and there will be a sign asking you to wait to be seated. But at other restaurants, particularly at lunch time, you are expected to find your own place to sit.

When you enter a restaurant where you have to wait to be seated, you might be asked: Haben Sie reserviert? (have you reserved?). To say that you have made a reservation in your name (Smith in this case), say 'Ja, auf den Namen Smith'.

If you haven't reserved, you could ask 'Haben Sie Platz für vier?' (do you have space for four people?).

Tap water can be controversial in Germany

When you order, prepare to be met with a disdainful look if you ask for Leistungswasser (tap water). In lots of German restaurants this isn't even an option and it is normally seen as rude to ask for it, although things are starting to change slowly regarding this issue, especially in big cities. If you want still water make sure to specify stilles Wasser, as sparkling water is normally standard in Germany.

It is worth asking at the beginning of a meal is card payments are possible. Often they aren't, but it is becoming more and more possible to pay by card, particularly in more expensive restaurants. Photo: DPA

Asking for the bill and paying

When your meal comes to an end make sure to ask for the bill - Die Rechnung, bitte or ask 'could we pay please?' - Könnten wir bitte bezahlen (you can also drop the -be and just say 'zahlen' ) - the waiter or waitress won't bring it unless you ask.

Be prepared to be asked whether you are paying together or separately (zusammen oder getrennt) and make sure to have cash ready, often German restaurants won't accept cards.

A tip is not included in the bill and the norm in Germany is around 10%, or people round up their bills (for example from €13.40 to €15). The tip is normally given when paying the bill, not left on the table. If you want to tell your server to keep the change as a tip, say 'das stimmt'.

SEE ALSO: 10 mouthwatering foods you have to try in Germany

Deciphering the menu

die Speisekarte (the menu) is normally split up into different sections, such as:

die Vorspeisen - starters

die Suppen - soups

die Hauptspeisen - main courses

die Beilagen - side dishes

die Nachspeisen - desserts

Sometimes there is a set menu option, which is written as das Menü

das Fleisch is the German for meat. Here are the different meats which you might find in a German restaurant:

das Rindfleisch - beef

das Schweinefleisch - pork

das Lamm - lamb

das Hähnchen - chicken

der Fisch - fish

The variety of food available in Germany is huge and does not only include traditional food. Germany now has 11 3-starred Michelin restaurants. Photo: DPA

What German specialities might you find on the menu?

die Kohlroulade - cabbage roll. Cooked cabbage leaves are rolled around different fillings. Popular fillings include beef or pork.

das Schnitzel - it's traditionally an Austrian specialty rather than German, but Schnitzel is widely available in German restaurants. It's a thin slice of meat (traditionally veal but often pork) that is covered in breadcrumbs and fried. Sometimes it is served with sauce, such as Jägerschnitzel with gravy and mushrooms, and the Zigeunerschnitzel with spicy vegetables.

Königsberge Klopse - meatballs, mashed potatoes, and a creamy lemon and caper sauce.

die Bratkartoffeln - a side dish of fried potatoes, often served with bacon and onions.

das Sauerkraut - pickled and fermented cabbage, a popular traditional German side-dish.

der Sauerbraten - a roast beef stew, traditionally served with kartoffelklöße (potato dumplings).

die Schweinshaxe - the traditional German dish of roasted pork knuckle. Eisbein is also on pork knuckle, but is prepared by boiling rather than roasting.

die Käsespätzle - a popular vegetarian dish, especially in southern Germany—handmade noodles topped with cheese.

Schweinshaxe is served at Oktoberfest in Munich. Photo: DPA

What other vocab and phrases do you need to know?

Der Kellner(in) - Waiter/waitress

Guten Appetit! - Enjoy your food!

Hat es ihnen/dir geschmeckt? - Did you enjoy the food?

Ich möchte / Ich hätte gerne den Fisch bitte - I would like the fish please. Note: Colloquially, many people drop the -e from gerne and just say Ich hätte gern...

Ist das Gericht glutenfrei/nussfrei? -Is the dish gluten free/free from nuts?

Gibt es etwas Veganes? - is there a vegan option?

Darf ich bitte die Karte sehen? - Please may I see the menu?

Was können Sie empfehlen? - What can you recommend?

Was für Bier haben Sie? - Which types of beer do you have?

Gibt es eine Spezialität aus dieser Gegend? - Is there a speciality from this region?

Payday Loans and Bankruptcy
Filed under: Bankruptcy Information
The lure of fast cash can be tempting at times when money is tight, which is the exact angle payday loan lenders play when looking for more customers. With some areas of town having a payday loan office on nearly every corner, the payday loan industry has been taking advantage of those in hard times for years. Borrowing contracts carrying interest rates 99% or more are leaving people worse off than before they walked in to borrow money. If you have been a victim of these predatory loans, here is what you need to know about stopping them through bankruptcy:
The Automatic Stay
When you file for bankruptcy the court issues an automatic stay order, which prohibits lenders from collecting on your debts. This order can stop traditional lenders from attempting to collect on a debt, but payday loan lender collections can be tricky. The reason is that when you borrow against a payday loan you are required to submit post-dated checks for the repayment of your loan. This means that there will need to be extra steps taken to ensure the payday loan company does not cash these checks even after you have filed bankruptcy.
Cashed Checks
The payday loan lender does reserve some rights in cashing your post-dated check after you have filed bankruptcy, but your Bryan bankruptcy lawyer can still offer solutions to avoid these funds from being withdrawn. Your lawyer may advise you to put a stop payment on the check, or to close the bank account from which the check was issued. Your lawyer will be able to best determine which solution is right for you to resolve these debts and move forward.
Timing Of Your Filing
Your bankruptcy filing could be questioned under certain circumstances. There are rules for the timing of your filing in relation to the accumulation of debt. If you were to file for bankruptcy within 70 days of borrowing more than $750, you may not be eligible to include those debts in your case or even be denied bankruptcy eligibility altogether. Your Bryan bankruptcy lawyer can help you determine your debts eligibility and the right timing for your filing.

What Gives Republicans Faith in Government?
President Ronald Reagan was famous for espousing anti-government views. To this day, he is lionized by Republicans, who frequently quote his "less is more" attitudes towards government. Which makes it kind of ironic that when he was in office, Republican … Continue reading

This article will explain how to activate a brand new iPad without the help of iTunes.
First question : why do you want to do such weird thing ?
Just because nowadays some places do not get any proprietary operating system anymore ... neither Windows, nor OSX. So no iTunes.
And, when you get an iPad in hand, you can not get anything out of it before it has been activated. This process is supposed to be done thru iTunes.
So here is the process to be able to use your iPad with the help of a Ubuntu workstation and of fantastic pieces of software called libimobiledevice & ideviceactivate.
Following this procedure, you will get a working iPad, not even knowing what iTunes means :-)
As iDevices protocols are changing fast with hardware and iOS version, this guide will compile all the iDevice specific tools from git repositories.
This will maximimize the chances for this procedure to work with your brand new device.
This activation process has been tested on an iPad 1 under iOS 3.2.1 and iOS 4.3.1. I've been told that this activation procedure has been followed with sucess on an iPad 2. Even if I've not tested it, it should also work on an iPhone ...
If you get any success on these devices, just let me know (see email address below) your device and iOS version so that I can add it to the list.
Lets start.
1. Install the packages needed to handle iDevices
Before starting the compilation process, we will install the default packages to be able to handle iDevices.
# sudo apt-get install libimobiledevice-utils nautilus-ideviceinfo libplist++1
First thing to do is to install the compilation environment with all the needed compilation chain :
# sudo aptitude install build-essential git
We also need to install some developpement libraries
# sudo aptitude install libglib2.0-dev libc6-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libplist++-dev python2.6-dev
# sudo aptitude install libplist-dev libusbmuxd-dev
# sudo aptitude install automake libtool swig
2. Compile & Install LibiMobileDevice library and tools
We then need to compile the libraries and utilities allowing access to iDevices (iPod, iPhone & iPad).
These librairies are available from http://www.libimobiledevice.org/.
Note that compilation process of these libraries and utils needs python development files, installed earlier.
Sources will be recovered from the GIT repository.
# cd ~
# git clone git://git.sukimashita.com/libimobiledevice.git
# cd libimobiledevice
# ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
# make
# sudo make install
Now, you just need to plug your iPAD to your Ubuntu workstation.
If everything has gone fine, you can get a lot of info from your new device :
# ideviceinfo
ActivationState: Unactivated
BasebandBootloaderVersion: 6.4_M3S2
ProductType: iPad1,1
ProductVersion: 4.3
You can see here that your iPad is Unactivated ...
3. Compile & Install iDeviceActivate
As all the needed libraries are operationnal, we now need to compile the activation software from its GIT repository.
# cd ~
# git clone git://github.com/boxingsquirrel/ideviceactivate.git
# cd ideviceactivate
# make
# sudo make install
4. Activate your iPAD
You can now launch the activation process :
# ideviceactivate
Creating activation request
Activating device...
Bingo !
Your iPAD is now activated. You can start to enjoy using it.
At this stage, to be able to install apps, you just need to create an AppleStore account
Hope it helps ...

East Bay Rep. Eric Swalwell kicked off his 2020 presidential campaign with a rally in Dublin, California, Sunday afternoon.
Speaking to an enthusiastic crowd at his former high school, the 38-year-old Democratic congressman who represents California's 15th Congressional District addressed his humble beginnings and understanding firsthand what it is that working people need.
Swalwell, a prominent critic of President Donald Trump, talked about the need for inclusiveness and an economy that works for everyone. He also made addressing gun violence and school shootings a centerpiece of his campaign.
"That's why I started my campaign at Parkland," Swalwell said Sunday. "I pledged to that community what I pledge to you: I will be the first campaign to make ending gun violence the top priority in my campaign."
Swalwell officially declared his bid for the 2020 presidential race Monday evening in an appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" after much speculation and visits to Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and other states in the months leading up to the announcement.
He said in a clip that was released by the show: "I see a country in quicksand, unable to solve problems and threats from abroad, unable to make life better for people here at home. Nothing gets done. I'm ready to solve these problems. I'm running for president of the United States."
Swalwell, an Iowa native, was elected in 2012 to represent California's 15th Congressional District.
He joins what is expected to be a wide-open race for the Democratic presidential nomination. There's no apparent front-runner at this early stage, and he will face off against several of his Senate colleagues who have more name recognition.

I'm just going to go ahead and start off today the right way, by telling you about one thing that grates my nerves. This is obviously a very "#firstworld" problem, if you will grant me the use of this super insensitive hashtag (which I also find annoying en masse). If you think this blog entry is about you, I can almost guarantee you it's not. If you're easily offended, please stop here. If you continue on and are offended, I'm sorry in advance. Let's still be friends.
I've been reading a few blogs lately that I can't agree with more (It's a Dog Lick Baby World, Chocolate is My Life, Cheaper Than Therapy, etc.) about the concept of "Mommy Wars." I know a lot of friends and Facebook people (also friendsy?) who are having babies right now, many of them for the first time; and a lot of them are worried about being judged. There's guilt about having kids before you even conceive (which is another reason I'm sticking with animals… that, and the part where kids turn into teenagers). Why are we putting this kind of pressure on moms and ourselves?
I can't say I've experienced this for myself (obviously), but I think a lot of it is perpetuated by 1. the media, 2. the internet, 3. stupid people. The media wants to increase clicks, and likes, and shares. So when they post stupid articles with ridiculous headlines, "Celebrity holds baby upside-down by one leg for entire photography shoot," we'll all click to see the pictures, share it with our friends and say, "OMG, Celebrity FamousPerson is a turrible parent!" Then we'll all comment on the Facebook story and say, "This is why we can't have nice things."
Or they'll take a tiny glimpse of a story and blow it out of proportion. Like the lady who tweeted Delta about breastfeeding. The majority of the time, it seems like people are just stupid/don't know to respond and are not biased against you and your particular hangup. Plenty of moms I know breastfeed and pump, and they just go do their thing where they can and it's over. They're not like, "You WOULD NOT believe the people who are judging me for feeding my baby." Because no one is. We're all adults here.
A new mom I follow on Instagram posted this weekend about how awkward it was that no one was making eye contact with her while she breastfed. I'm sure that made her feel like a lonely outcast, but I attribute the whole situation to everyone halfway acknowledging what's going and not wanting to be the bad guy. Just like when someone farts in a crowded room. Everyone knows what happened, but no one is going to be the person to be like… "THIS HAPPENED!"
The average (read: non-famous, non-ruckus-causing) mom doesn't want to be that person who is sitting on a bench breastfeeding and acts aggressively toward every passerby. "YEAH! That's right. Feeding my baby! Got something to say about it? Come at me, bro!" But every passerby doesn't know what kind of mom that breastfeeding mom is, so they don't know if it's appropriate or not to make eye contact. If they do, they don't know how long is too long. Will the mom think I'm a creeper trying to sneak a peak? And, if you dare, should you comment? What do you say in those situations? No one should be ashamed to feed her baby in public, but because of all this media hoopla, we passersby don't want to be the next Delta to get our shit handed to us when we just don't know what to do in that situation.
Facebook helps, too, since we're all awesome through the Facebook filter. On Facebook, I eat healthy, exercise a lot, read brain-enhancing articles, fight for the little guy, etc. In real life, I eat a bunch of junk food and am lazy while I read smut articles about celebrities mistreating their poor, unloved children, and do nothing about it.
Along the same lines as the Moms vs. Moms warz, there seems to be this moms vs. non-moms war that I was unaware also existed. This is absolutely not the case for everyone I know, and I'm sure moms vs, kidless women is a response to the issue discussed in the previous paragraphs (thanks, gossip magz). We non-parents get that you like to post pictures and videos of your kids on Facebook and Instagram, and (speaking for myself and the people I've talked with), we're totally fine with it. Just because I don't want kids right now (or maybe ever) doesn't mean I don't recognize a cute baby when I see one, think it's also hilarious that your kid makes fart sounds on purpose and laughs at it, or appreciate that you grew that inside you and pushed/had it cut out (ouch times a million).
You're totally awesome for that. But playing the "If you don't like it, get over it. You'll never know a love this strong." card is just plain rude.
Firstly, you don't know me. And you don't know the people who see that. Imagine if you had been trying for a baby forever but it just wasn't happening and you read that. "You'll never know this kind of love!" Ouch.
Secondly, just because I don't have a kid doesn't mean I don't know what love is (Jenny). Sure, I didn't push a bowling ball out of a bagel-sized cervix, but I've been loved and have loved in return. I have loved something/one so much that I would do anything for it/that person. I get that you have an emotional bond that I'll never understand, but I probably have one or two of those that you'll never understand as well. This isn't an emotional bond competition. By acting like it is, you're perpetuating the media mom wars. So cut it out and let's all just be happy for the choices we've made and the peoples/things we love.
Thirdly, the next time I see one of those posts, I'm going to copy and paste it word-for-word and post it on my social media accounts with a picture of all my cats in onesies. That's how logical the love-competition sentiment seems to me.
Similarly, I've seen a lot of people share articles with headlines like, "Why it's ok to be childless" or "What to say to people when they say, 'You Need Kids ASAP'" or "I don't want to have kids, lay off my case!" or "The benefits of choosing a barren womb." Are these really necessary? Again, think of all those people who would LOVE to have kids but can't. Flaunting your choice to ignore fertility is like throwing away $100 bills while people in poverty are forced to watch. This is also known as the "Be happy with what you have and STFU" principle.
When we post articles like this (yes, we, I'm sure I've done it), we're essentially saying, "Look, social media. I'm making life choices on purpose." Pretty much everyone I know is aware that I feel nowhere near prepared enough to take care of another small, needy human. I don't need to shove articles in their faces as to why. Could you imagine if there were articles written like that in the other direction? "Why I stand behind my decision to have kids!" No one would read that. Well, moms probably would to get away from the other articles.
All in all, the main point of this long-ass rambling blog post was to say, as women–childless or childful–we've been pawns of the media creating these imaginary wars between us forever. Whether or not we should vote (thanks, Ann Coulter), whether or not we should work outside the home, whether or not we should be having kids, whether or not we should breastfeed our kids in public or cover up, etc. Let's just all work to support each other in our own personal choices, not judge, and create differences where we don't need to. Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends?
If you're a mom, please tell us what we're supposed to do in every situation that has the potential to be awkward for you. If you're a non-mom, have you experienced the mom vs non-mom wars? What do you do?

The 'Venus Range' is an example of Hans Wegner's early fascination with bent plywood. The range features two 'shells' of plywood that are used to create a lean curving back and an effortless cantilevered the seat. Although considered experimental pieces for Hans Wegner, they carry a minimalist poetic touch and a consideration for the human form, two signature aspects of Wegner's work.
Dimensions: W:65 x D:63 x H:70 cm (seat height: 37 cm)
Base: oiled oak
Seat and backrest shell: oiled walnut
Hans J Wegner (1914-2007) trained as a cabinet-maker before attending the Copenhagen School of Arts and Crafts, where he later lectured from 1946 to 1953. From 1938 to 1942, he worked as a furniture designer in Arne Jacobsen and Erik Møller«s architectural practice. In 1943, he set up his own office in Gentofte and collaborated with Børge Mogensen in the design of an apartment shown at the 1946 Cabinetmakers Exhibition in Copenhagen. Throughout his long career, he has designed furniture extensively for Johannes Hansen and Fritz Hansen. The Royal Society of Arts, London, made him an Honorary Royal Designers for Industry in 1959.

Ishidou-ji in Shiga Prefecture: The Oldest Stone Pagoda in Japan
Written on October 19, 2012
When I was in Japan, a friend introduced me to one of his favorite temples, Ishidou-ji in Shiga Prefecture. Its stone pagoda is said to be the oldest in Japan, dating to the Nara Period (710-794). Here are some photos from that morning.
The minimal, ancient form of the three tiered pagoda is beautiful–and it's the reason we ventured to this fairly remote place.

Despite its reputation as a one of the low-key, more 'friendly' races in the cross country calendar, the Dobson Trophy still presents a challenge to the runners with a fast, flat start followed by a climb of about 300m into the woods. The fields are smaller than those at the Thomas Trophy and the Somerhill Regional, but the competition remains tough with runners from DCPS, Yardley Court and Derwent Lodge setting the bar high.
Never daunted by the competition, indeed, rising to the challenge of a good race, the Saint Ronan's boys continued to 'punch above their weight', finishing an impressive second overall, the U9 and U13 boys scoring the same points (36!) and coming second and third respectively.
The races at Claremont comprise teams of six, with four to score. Our U9 scorers finished comfortably in the top half of the field with Oli H leading the team home in fourth, followed by Freddie F (6) who had a superb run, Louis A (9) and James M (17). Josh L (26) and Alfie A (38) completed the team, both running well.
The U11 boys continued to pack well, with Jack E finding his form to run a nicely paced race, moving steadily through to finish seventeenth. Oscar B (23) displayed his trademark fight with Max M (25) running comfortably and Bertie A (28) continuing to develop as determined little runner. Jacob J (33) had a good run and Joshua E (51) should feel proud of his efforts.
The field for the U13 boys was surprisingly small, but of a high standard, the boys up against very strong teams from DCPS, Yardley Court and Claremont. Charlie E, determined to improve on his fourth place from last year was rewarded with a silver medal following a superb run where he outpaced Jack W of DCPS but couldn't quite catch the little machine that is Harry M (and he's only an U11!). Ellison VR (5) had an excellent run on his old stamping ground, as did Jasper S (6) who is shaping up to be a great little runner. Max R had the unenviable task of being fourth scorer; despite his valiant efforts, he couldn't break the Yardley group, but ran well to finish twenty third. Charlie M (28) had a good race and is earning his place as a solid member of the team.
An excellent afternoon of running from the Saint Ronan's boys!

"Companies that generate hazardous waste must store and dispose of them properly or obtain the proper permit to ensure these wastes are properly stored," said EPA Regional Administrator Judith A. Enck. "When not properly handled, hazardous wastes can pose a danger to employees and those living in the surrounding community."
An EPA inspection of Kawasaki's facility at 29 Wells Avenue in Yonkers revealed several dozen containers containing waste paints and solvents, discarded gasoline and unlabeled containers of hazardous wastes. A number of containers of hazardous waste were corroded and leaking.
Federal hazardous waste laws require that hazardous chemicals be stored, handled and disposed of properly to safeguard public health and the environment. Facilities must also have properly trained staff, since improperly stored hazardous waste can spill and pose a risk to people and the environment.

A reader wants to know when he should file for Social Security in order to pay the least amount of retirement tax.
Should I retire at 66 years old and use my IRA for income before taking Social Security? My retirement income will come from my pension, RMD, Social Security and rental. I am a conservative investor. My RMD annual income at 4% will be the biggest piece of the pie. My gross retirement income will be more than my taxable income while employed. I don't want to pay extra taxes. What should I do?
I don't blame you for not wanting pay extra taxes! When viewed through a long term perspective, taxes in retirement may be one of your greatest single expenses. Although your tax advisor is the best resource for recommendations on an overall tax reduction plan, there is one strategy that is really easy and often overlooked…it could be as simple as structuring your income properly.
As you're probably aware, between 0% and 85% of your Social Security benefits will be added to your taxable income. In order to determine how much of your Social Security benefits will be taxable, you first have to calculate "provisional income" – a measurement of income used specifically for this purpose. Provisional income can be roughly calculated as your total income from taxable sources, plus any tax exempt interest (such as interest from tax free bonds), plus any excluded foreign income, plus 50% of your Social Security benefits.
If you can structure your income in a manner that reduces your provisional income, you should see a corresponding reduction to the amount of your Social Security that is counted as taxable income.
For example, lets say you need a total of $6,000 in monthly income and your SS benefit at your full retirement age is $2,000. (we'll assume your full retirement age is 66)
Income Strategy #1) Take your $2,000 SS benefit and get the remaining $4,000 from your other sources.
Income Strategy #2) Delay your SS benefit and take the total $6,000 income need from your other sources. At age 70, you file for your SS benefit of $2,640. The remaining $3,360 would come from your other sources.
Remember that only half of your Social Security income is included on your "provisional income" calculation. By increasing the amount of income from Social Security, and a corresponding reduction of income from other sources, the amount of total taxable income should decline.
Needless to say, this is a very simplistic overview. One things for sure. Your situation IS different. Before you build your own strategy, get a super competent financial planner and tax advisor to help walk you through this. If you want to do more research before you start, I've written an article that covers this topic at https://socialsecurityintelligence.com/retirement-tax/
Hope this helps!
P.S. You mentioned your RMD from the retirement account so I wanted to share a resource with you that I found not long ago. It's an article by a friend titled REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS: THE IRS LOVES IT WHEN YOU TURN 70

THE "Cash Me Ousside" girl was thrown off a plane after punching a passenger who screamed at her mum.
Danielle Bregoli - who shot to viral fame after appearing on Dr Phil - was pulled off a Spirit Airlines flight alongside her mum and another passenger after the fracas on Monday evening.
The 13-year-old's mum Barbara Ann got into an argument with a female passenger who complained about the length of time it took her to put a carry-on bag in an overhead locker.
Barbara Ann was struggling to put her bag in the overhead locker as she was wearing a cast for an injured foot at the time, according to TMZ.
An argument erupted and Danielle claims the woman put her hands on her mum's throat - prompting the youngster to "cold-cock" the passenger.

In shocking video footage the woman is heard calling the mum a "w*****".
She is also heard spitting at the mum and daughter.
The furious passenger made a citizen's arrest and all three were taken off the plane.
Nobody wanted to press charges and no arrests were made, according to TMZ.
It is thought all parties said their lawyers would handle the disagreement.
Danielle, Barbara and the other woman have all been banned from Spirit Airlines for life, according to the company.
The 13-year-old shot to fame earlier this year after a clip of her on Dr Phil went viral.
"Out of control" Danielle was taken on the show by her despairing mother, who was unable to cope with the unruly teen.
Danielle, who brags about stealing cars in the shocking clip, was mocked widely online for her strange accent.
At one point she tries to take on the audience, suggesting: "Cash me ousside, howbow dah?"
The hilarious phrase has since become a worldwide meme.

Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis recently called wide receiver Brandon Coleman the "heir apparent" to Marques Colston in the Saints offense and it appears Coleman is going to get his chance to prove Loomis right pretty soon.
Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports that the Saints are expected to release Colston "in the coming days." The move would clear $3.2 million from the Saints' salary cap, although there would be $2.7 million in dead money left behind.
That money left on the cap stood as a reason to think that the Saints might try to get Colston to stick around at a lower salary, but Colston's 2015 season provided reason to move on. He caught 45 passes for 520 yards in 13 games and has gradually slipped away from being the dangerous target he was early in his Saints career.
Colston opened that career by catching at least 70 passes for more that 1,000 yards in six of his first seven seasons while adding 58 touchdown catches. He helped New Orleans win a Super Bowl along with guard Jahri Evans, who has already been released by the Saints as they move further away from the most successful days in franchise history.

Today's workout is called "Stack": 5-15 minutes of "Afterburner 2 " sequence, followed (after a rest of 5 minutes) by 10 - 30 minutes of cardio flow.
Remember the "Afterburner"? Take a quick look on the video (week 1 Day 2) how I coped with my first introduction to this high-intensity workout. I was sagging and exhausted after the first three rounds. Well today I did 15 rounds in the allotted time and still could have done more. Suddenly this "killer" of a workout is easy peasy... I feel so strong - imagine what this is doing for my motivation!
The cardioflow I'd already got well to grips with (Week 3 Day 6, Under-The-Knee) so this whole session was a, for me, phenominal success. Funny thing with that "getting-fitter" process... you don't see it coming. Just that one day you realize that you can do some things a lot easier than before.
Today was also a fast-day. So I was doing my workout on an empty stomach. Can't say I noticed any negative effect of not eating, and the results speak to the contrary.
Broke the fast in the evening with pork and salad. This was nice and light, and the salad was refreshing - but I have to admit, later in the evening I really could have eaten a sweet snack to go with my coffee... some cake, or biscuits, or chocolate. Had to be strong and resist the temptation (there was nothing in the house to snack on anyway!).

The error: 1450/1452 insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.
These are not a SQL Server based errors. The error cause is related to a depleted system resource (non-paged pool, paged pool ,...). These issues have to be tracked down at the operating system level. This involves collection of system level performance monitor counters and evaluating the basic health of the overall system.
A commonly overlooked configuration option is the use of /3GB. The /3GB boot switch limits the operating system space to 1GB on a 32 a bit system. If your system is running with /3GB and you can't pinpoint the resource depletion consider removing the /3GB boot switch.
SQL Server Retries
When these errors occur they usually appear during SQL Server I/O operations (ReadFile, WriteFile, ReadFileScatter, WriteFileGather, DeviceIoControl, …) SQL Server identifies the situation, pauses briefly (a few milliseconds) to allow the system to respond and retries the I/O operation.

Specialized Symptom
For SQL Server 2005 there is another 1450/665 condition that can arise when performing an online DBCC CHECKDB or if you have snapshot databases (Create Database For Snapshot) defined.
Reference: http://blogs.msdn.com/psssql/archive/2008/02/07/how-it-works-sql-server-2005-database-snapshots-replica.aspx
When a sparse file (used for snapshot database files) is populated Windows limits the amount of data that may reside in the file. Once the amount of data stored in the sparse file exceeds the limit further data storage in the file may be prevented.
· Windows 2003 - 64GB (Error 1450 returned)
· Windows 2008 and Vista - 16GB (Error 665 returned)
Windows 2003 Error: The operating system returned error 1450(Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.) to SQL Server during a write at offset 0x000031abb4e000 in file with handle 0x00000F74. This is usually a temporary condition and the SQL Server will keep retrying the operation. If the condition persists then immediate action must be taken to correct it.
Windows 2008 Error: The operating system returned error 665(The requested operation could not be completed due to a file system limitation) to SQL Server during a write at offset 0x000005bd3dc000 in file 'Test.mdf:MSSQL_DBCC8'
Online DBCC uses an internal snapshot database (secondary file stream like H:MSSQLDataMyDB_Data.MDF:MSSQL_DBCC8). If the total copy on write, page copy activity exceeds these limits DBCC may stall, hang or fail. Some of the messages you may see in the SQL Server error log are shown.
The operating system returned error 1450(Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.) to SQL Server during a write at offset 0x000031abb4e000 in file with handle 0x00000F74. This is usually a temporary condition and the SQL Server will keep retrying the operation. If the condition persists then immediate action must be taken to correct it.
Timeout occurred while waiting for latch: class 'ACCESS_METHODS_HOBT_COUNT', id 6092AFA4, type 4, Task 0x00BD4208 : 0, waittime 600, flags 0x98, owning task 0x00000000. Continuing to wait.
* 06/26/08 12:08:00 spid 89
* Latch timeout
Other actions that are attempting to modify pages may become stalled attempting to write to the snapshot file and checkpoint can be a secondary victim.
SQL Server Mini-Dumps
The built in SQL Server health checks can detect several of the conditions, log errors and generate mini-dumps in the LOG directory. Using the debug techniques outlined in the following article http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/diagandcorrecterrs.mspx you too can look at the information.
Using the Windows Debugging Tools and the public symbols for Windows and SQL Server the following information can be obtained. You can then search for the Sleep call. There are some threads that this is valid for but for this issue you don't want to see the SyncWritePreemptive calling Sleep.
0:000> .sympath
Symbol search path is: http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
0:000> ~*kb
27 Id: 804.b30 Suspend: 1 Teb: 7ff9a000 Unfrozen
The previous stack shows the CopyOnWrite behavior attempting to secure the page in the replica (snapshot) before the page can be changed. Sleep is only called when 1450 or 1452 is encountered.
· Run DBCC CHECKDB in OFFLINE mode (WITH TABLOCK)
· Run DBCC CHECKDB at a time when less data modification is taking place
· Divide the database into a few more files. The limitations are per sparse file and each database snapshot creates matching sparse files for each database file. For example if the database files are each limited to 64GB in total size you can't exceed the limitation on a per file basis.
· Remove snapshot databases that have grown large.
Aug 14, 2008 Additional Information
For optimization, SQL Server can allocate a 64K extent when writing the first 8K page to the snapshot database. The other pages in the extent are zero'ed including the page header to indicate the page has not been copied to the replica yet. As such, a scattered set of dirty activity could approach 1/8th of the limit (8 pages per extent and only one page dirty) so the limit may be encountered at a lower dirty page rate than expected.
Aug 25, 2008 Additional Information (Limitations)
Testing shows that the size limit for the spare file can vary based on the allocation pattern. The limits shown above should be considered the MAXIMUM limit but due to allocation your mileage may vary.

House District 28
(The district map changes are effective beginning with the 2012 Election Cycle)
my oath of office, by upholding the Constitutions of these United States and the State of Iowa, to the best of my ability.
Iowans have a reputation for their strong work ethic, community pride, and hometown hospitality. Those of us that reside in Iowa House District 28 certainly reflect these and various other attributes that make Iowa a great place to live and raise a family.
As a citizen legislator, I am working to ensure that our state government is running effectively to serve the citizens of Iowa, while at the same time operating as efficiently as possible so that your hard-earned tax dollars are not wasted on bloated bureaucracy. As a busy dad and small business owner, I want to make sure our government agencies are functioning and handling public monies with the same frugality and attention you and I would give to our family and business budgets.
It is also very important to me that our government fulfill its primary obligation of preserving and protecting our liberties and God-given rights. That is why in the Legislature, I have worked hard to move
common sense legislation to the Governor's desk that keeps citizens, especially our kids, safer...bills like toughening penalties on human traffickers, sexually violent predators, and kidnappers. I will continue this work moving forward.
In the last five years I have learned a great deal about dozens of complex issues that the residents of House District 28 have shared with me at forums, by email, or on the phone. I am always ready to help constituents cut through the red-tape of government and navigate the problems they are facing with state government.

If I were to sit here and list, the amount of plot elements Battle of the Damned has stolen from famous genre films, we would be here all day. Escape From NY, The Terminator, 28 Days Later, Maybe even Chopping Mall? This isn't necessarily a complaint, more of an observation, maybe even a mild warning. This is not, by any stretch of the imagination, an original film. In fact, while watching it, you can almost picture a play-by-play of the meeting that got the funding for this film greenlit. "Imagine if you will, a zombie movie, identical to every other zombie movie ever made, only with Ivan Drago… and robots. Granted, it's not evil robots, that Lundgren has to battle alongside the undead, but wayward robots that just appear in the middle of this "Battle of the Damned", and submit to taking orders from Mr. Lundgren. Convenient, no? If there's one thing you'd want in the middle of an onslaught of bloodthirsty beats attempting to devour your flesh, it's giant killer robots, with the power of thought.
It makes little to no sense, why in the middle of battle, random giant robots march across the screen, and it makes even less sense why they show up ready to take orders from this random mercenary sent by an evil father to rescue his daughter from the zombie outbreak that his company caused. But it happens, and it sparks several mildly amusing scenes. It's never even remotely explained where they came from, how they got there(They walked) or why they were so friendly, but as they make sure to let you know when verbally repeating the orders given to them by Mr. Lundgren, they are here to fuck zombies up, and fuck them up they do. So, in summation, the entirety of the story, and everything else that makes up this film, is heavily borrowed from other, better and more popular films. The very few questions that the film raised were never answered, and there is no real resolution to speak of. But, you get to see Dolph Lundgren doing what he does best, and giant fucking robots versus fucking zombies. That last statement, is a good question to ask yourself before you decide whether or not this movie is for you. Does the promise of robots, in control of Dolph Lundgren, versus a horde of zombies, trapped in a John Carpenter ripoff appeal to your sensibilities in any way? Let your answers guide you.
This is labeled a Blu-ray review, but I can assure you that there is not much to review. It's a digital movie, in format that displays at crystal level of clarity. The picture quality is impressive, with an immense level of detail. The Dolby TrueHD 5.1 track is more than serviceable. Being a low budget production, it's nothing that blows your hair back, but it sounds crystal clear, and makes use, during battle scenes especially, of the multiple channel output. The extras are damn near nonexistent. The only supplement on the disc is a generic montage of behind-the-scenes footage. Anchor Bay, unfortunately, has become known to release these vanilla disc releases lately, so when purchasing one of their discs, you're pretty much going to get what you were expecting.
Battle of the Damned will be released to DVD & Blu-ray on February 18th from Starz/Anchor Bay. You may pre-order your copy here.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of LIBBY'S Pumpkin for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Vegetables for breakfast?
Yes! Especially when you can get in a serving during the most important meal of the day. I've been on a pancake kick lately. Today's recipe was inspired by my trip to the Oregon coast (which is where I am right now!). Sand dollars from the beach turned into silver dollar pancakes for breakfast.
We are staying in the cutest little condo in Seaside, OR and have a full kitchen. A girl's dream.
^^More pics of the trip to come next week!
LIBBY'S Pumpkin is the best ever because you can get it year round and use it in so many different kinds of recipes! LIBBY'S PUMPKIN is…
- A good source of fiber
- Loaded with Vitamin A
- Versatile
- A whole food- no added, sugar or salt, just pumpkin!
So about these pancakes.
I am obsessed. I love that they are orange! When you bite into them they are crunch because I threw a handful of pecans into the batter.
Texture fiend.

Menu Plan
The week went by as per usual and then the weekend was slammed.
I much prefer the week to be busy and the weekend to be relaxed but c'est la vie.
The only notable event during the week was a massage by my friend, a lovely masseuse, who happened to be in town.
We don't often have Diva with us on Friday nights since we usually have date night and she stays with her grandparents but as it happened, our date night was switched. We had a family date night on Friday, ate our favorite pizza, and watched "Ender's Game." We all really enjoyed it, but thought the book was better.
Saturday, our trio went to the gym and immediately afterwards Engineer went to choir practice and Diva started getting ready to go the the movies with her friend. Saturday was the first time I had ever dropped off Diva and a friend for the movies. It was a little bittersweet.
Engineer and I attended the first half of a local political convention (we had too many appointments and couldn't stay for the whole thing) before heading out to procure ingredients for and cook our assigned dish for Supper Club. By the way, gnocchi is not the easiest thing to find in small town East Texas. :)
My Momma took Diva to see her friend in a play that evening while Engineer and I were at Supper Club. This month's theme was French cuisine with a gorgeous menu of Butternut Squash Soup, Coq au Vin, Ratatouille, Gnocchi w/Mushrooms, Homemade Bread, and Chocolate Creme Brulee. Everything was delicious.
This week we will be eating:
Sunday - Pizza & Salad at church
Monday - Ham, Green Beans, & Red Hot Apples
Tuesday - Salad Sampler (Tabbouleh, Strawberry & Spinach Salad, Pasta Salad, etc.)
Wednesday - Sun Dried Tomato & Spinach Frittata w/Salad
Thursday - Pork Chops, Pecan Wild Rice, Steamed Carrots
Friday - Date Night
Saturday - Leftovers
This is part of MPM.

Free Point Indicator (FPI)
|Radial Cutting Torch (RCT)*
|Perforating Torch Cutter (PTC)*
NPS offers a rugged and dependable Free Point Indicator Tool. Compatible with Warrior and able to be run on almost any wireline with the FPI Panel, this tool provides the answers needed to perform a pipe recovery operation. Based on a simple and rugged design, this tool will compliment your pipe recovery needs. The 1 3/8" diameter will allow you to operate in environments most others cannot even attempt.
The RADIAL CUTTING TORCH* tool is a patented cutting device used to sever tubing, casing, drill pipe, and coiled tubing without the use of explosives or hazardous materials, making it one of the safest pipe cutting tools on the market. Using advanced technology, the patented nozzle and proprietary mixture of various powdered metals produces jets of highly energized plasma to cut virtually any type of pipe in any well condition.
The PERFORATING TORCH CUTTER* tool effectively perforate coil tubing, tubing, casing and drill pipe without the use of explosives or hazardous chemicals. When running a RADIAL CUTTING TORCH job that requires adequate flow into the annulus, explosive perforators and punchers are unreliable at producing a consistent and sufficient hole in pipe. The short comings of explosive punchers can have a dramatic effect.
