Cast : Edie Falco, Merritt Wever, Paul Schulze, Dominic Fumusa
IMDB Rating : 7.6/10 from 17,106 users
IMDB : Link
"Nurse Jackie" is a half-hour comedy that is at turns wicked, heartbreaking and funny. Edie Falco stars as the title character Jackie O'Hurley, a strong-willed and brilliant — but very flawed — emergency room nurse in a complicated New York City hospital. A lapsed Catholic with an occasional weakness for Vicodin and Adderall to get her through the days, Jackie keeps the hospital balanced with her own kind of justice. Every day is a high wire act of juggling patients, doctors, fellow nurses and her own indiscretions.

Secrets de Cuisine – Antibes based course
As at today's date the 23 February 2016 there are 3 places chefs can sit the Ships' Cook Certificate Assessment.
- In Antibes in France at Secrets de Cuisine which is offered by Bluewater
- South Shields College in NE England also will be running their own assessment. See http://www.shipscookcertificate.com/south-tyneside-college-ships-cook-certificate/
- Yachtworks in Portsmouth see
For info on the Antibes based course visit http://www.secretsdecuisine.fr/en/mca-ships-cook-certificate/
Cedric at Secrets de Cuisine will answer any questions you have about the course but read our info page on what to expect.
As of today's date around 30% of chefs doing the assessment are failing.. We would recommend that you seriously look at doing the
Ships cook certificate preparation course if you are unsure about taking the assessment without any preparation…
You are being assessed on the two and a half days on your technical skills and knowledge, your management of the galley/kitchen and your knowledge of HACCP and Food Safety. This is not a test of your ability to cook owner's food but of ensuring a minimum standard for cooking food and taking care of crew in accordance with the ILO and MLC2006.
NOTE: If you are working on Cayman flagged vessels with more than 10 crew then they will require Level 3 food safety and level 2 chef qualifications. They do not require a ships cook certificate (seehttp://www.cishipping.com/portal/page/portal/srghome/survey/shippingnotices/2014/SN%2007-2014/2014_07_CISN_R1.pdf) but in all cases for any flagged vessel if you are not sure contact the flag state and ask for their advice.

You work hard, you keep your head down and do a really good job, so you'll get promoted because you deserve it, right? WRONG!
If you work hard, keep your head down and do a really good job, it will of course make you valuable to your employer, but you will probably be the first person that your newly promoted colleague will want in their new team! So... how do you put yourself in line for a promotion?
Here are a few tips for you:
- Know what you want, and why you want it. There is no point in going for a promotion because you think you should.
- Don't dwell on your weaknesses and resist from not putting yourself forward for that promotion if you don't tick ALL the boxes. Concentrate on what you can do and your strengths. Be confident in your abilities.
- Don't wait for a role to become available. If you can see a gap for a specific role or specific knowledge base – become that specialist and fill that gap - provide yourself as the solution.
- Be on the radar – contribute – be seen and heard, not just by your superiors, but by your colleagues. Be positive, collaborative – don't be a wall flower.
- Promote your successes without bragging – make sure your achievements are noticed.
- Dress for the job you want not the job you have – old school – but still relevant. If you dress the part, you'll feel the part.
- Raise your profile - Network with people within your organisation. People tend to promote individuals they like and trust – so build those relationships. How much does your boss know about you? When the management team are talking, is it your achievements that they are discussing?
- Talk to your boss. Do they actually know that you want to add more value by progressing into a different role? If they don't know, why would they consider you?
- What is your brand? Make a name for yourself externally too. Social media, networking events – put yourself out there and be seen as valuable.
- Have a long term vision of where you want to be in 5 years' time.
Now, plan your strategy – prepare the role and your offering (this will be a whole different blog topic, coming soon), then go and ask for it- If you don't ask, you very probably won't get.

Look for the area where you can make DNS changes and add the other IP address, making the new MX record as a lower priority If you allow use of OWA, you'll also need to create an A address pointing to your server as well.It should have a different name than your current server in DNS to avoid routing issues.

Contraceptive Use While on Blood Thinners is Safe
Stephan Moll, MD writes… Interesting and relevant publication this week [reference 1]. It is well known that estrogen–containing birth control methods (pills, vaginal rings, patches, injectables) increase the risk for DVT and PE. As women on blood thinners may have heavy menstrual bleeds, hormonal therapy may be considered to decrease the bleeding. Also, women on blood thinners may want to choose a method for contraception other than a progestin IUD (Mirena® IUD, Skyla® IUD).

Jump to: | Video | Poll | Links | Team Previews |
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- As the 2013 football season gets set to kick off, the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) boasts a pair of top-10 teams, a host of other talented contenders, countless individual returning stars and coaching changes at one-third of the schools, including the retirement of college football's all-time wins leader. If the on-field product is as rich as the storylines, this fall will certainly be unforgettable.
The top offseason news in the conference was the retirement of Saint John's legendary Head Coach John Gagliardi, who departs with the most wins - 489 - in the history of college football. After roaming the sidelines for 60 years at Saint John's (64 total), the absence of Gagliardi will no doubt be felt throughout the entire conference. But as the league transitions to life without a living legend, plenty of teams and student-athletes are ready to carry the torch.
After Gagliardi's retirement, MIAC attention turns next to the continued excellence at the University of St. Thomas. The Tommies enter the season ranked No. 2 in the nation in all three preseason polls after going 14-1 a year ago, with their only loss coming to Mount Union in the NCAA Division III championship game. Head Coach Glenn Caruso and UST became the first MIAC team to complete three-straight perfect 10-0 regular seasons in 2012, and they've advanced one step further in the postseason each season since Caruso took over. That leaves just one step left for 2013 - a national championship - and the Tommies return a team capable of another MIAC title and national prominence.
However, Bethel joined UST in the second round of the 2013 postseason, and Head Coach Steve Johnson returns tons of talent and high expectations from his 9-3 squad (6-2 MIAC). The Royals are ranked as high as No. 6 in the preseason polls, and they'll enter the season as St. Thomas' top competition in the conference, and further evidence of the MIAC's overall strength.
Concordia, which went 8-2 overall and tied Bethel with a 6-2 MIAC mark last season, was the second team listed outside the top 25 in the D3football.com "Others receiving votes" section, and Augsburg (7-3, 5-3 MIAC) also received a vote in the poll. Add in always-talented teams at St. Olaf (7-3, 5-3 MIAC) and Saint John's (5-5, 3-5 MIAC) and suddenly the MIAC landscape appears to be as strong as ever. Gustavus (3-7, 2-6 MIAC), Carleton (3-7, 1-7 MIAC) and Hamline (1-9, 0-8 MIAC) also have high hopes entering the 2013 season, with plenty of opportunities for signature wins on their schedules.
A year ago, the MIAC's relative toughness came in the form of tangible results. Six of the conference's nine teams were .500 or better, with five of those teams winning at least seven games overall with .700 or better winning percentages. Against nonconference foes the MIAC was dominant, going 13-0 over the first two weeks of the 2012 season and 16-2 overall. Many weeks, the MIAC had three teams ranked in the Top 25, with as many as five receiving votes. To top it off, the MIAC led the nation in Division III football attendance.
That standard of success seems to set an impossibly high, but the MIAC seems as strong as ever, and poised to continue its ascent on the Division III football landscape. Starting Friday, an exciting 11 weeks of MIAC football kicks off and, if the action matches the anticipation, fans of the conference are in for the ultimate football feast.
After the Tommies' run to the Division III title game a year ago and their MIAC three-peat, it's no surprise that Caruso's crew is the conference favorite again atop the 2013 MIAC Football Preseason Coaches' Poll. The Tommies received all eight first-place votes (coaches could not vote for their own team) and 64 points to ranks as the unanimous conference favorite.
Bethel was the consensus No. 2 team in the conference and, according to the coaches, UST's biggest No. 1 challenger. The Royals received the other first-place vote and 56 points. After that is where things get interesting, and the conference's parity is reflected with just two points separating the next three teams. Augsburg finished third with 44 points, and tied for fourth just a point back at 43 were both Concordia and Saint John's.
St. Olaf received 27 points in the poll to finish sixth, just three points ahead of Gustavus. The Gusties got 24 points and came in seventh in the predicted standings. Carleton (13 points) edged Hamline (10 points) for the No. 8 spot as the Knights and Pipers rounded out the poll's final two spots.
The 2013 season will be one of major change in the MIAC. The coaching change at Saint John's - the Johnnies first in 60 years - has been incredibly well-publicized, but the conference will welcome three new head coaches this fall as one-third of the league went through a coaching change in the offseason.
However, the SJU change is the highest-profile transition for a reason. Gagliardi was an institution in the MIAC, Division III and all of college football. Though college football's all-time wins leader will no longer be on the sidelines, his legend will forever be tied to football coaching excellence in the MIAC, as the conference coaches and administrators unanimously elected to name the conference's top coaching honor the "MIAC John Gagliardi Coach-of-the-Year" award.
Replacing him is a familiar face in a new role. Gary Fasching takes over as the Johnnies' head coach after 17 seasons as an assistant under Gagliardi. Fasching also played linebacker for SJU, graduating in 1981, so even though the legendary coach has ridden off into the sunset, many of the traditions and ideals surrounding SJU football will remain.
St. Olaf also went with a familiar face as its new head coach when former coach Jerry Olzsewski accepted the top job at Division II Augustana in Sioux Falls, S.D. Craig Stern, who was the Oles' assistant head coach, was promoted to the head job. Stern has been on the St. Olaf staff for nine seasons, so the transition should be a smooth one in Northfield, as well.
Hamline also ushered in a new era when Chad Rogosheske was hired to replace John Pate as the Pipers' head coach. Once again, a MIAC team went with familiarity, as Rogosheske spent a dozen years at Hamline as a player and an assistant coach. His assistant coaching stops also include D-III Wartburg and D-I Ohio State and Bucknell along his road back to his alma mater.
There's a reason St. Thomas is again favored to win the MIAC and ranked No. 2 in the nation ... Caruso's team returns a ton of talent and experience from a team that nearly captured the national title in 2012. There are 16 players back with starting experience, led by junior QB Matt O'Connell, who is 31-1 as a starter and accounted for 27 TDs a season ago. All-America OLB Tremayne Williams and 1,000-yard rusher Brenton Braddock are also back in starring roles once again.
Bethel is blessed with plenty of returning talent as well, starting with All-American senior LB Seth Mathis, the leader of the always-accomplished Royal defense. All-MIAC DB J.D. Mehlhorn is also back, and QB Erik Peterson and WR Mitch Hallstrom lead a Bethel offense that could be more explosive and vertical than usual.
Augsburg has enjoyed a nice progression, and moving into the top three in the league would further the development of Frank Haege's program. Dual-threat QB Ayrton Scott set the MIAC on fire as a freshman, and the star sophomore is poised to continue is ascent in 2013. All-America TE Adam Carl will again be one of Scott's favorite targets the MIAC's most feared downfield weapons, while DB Hakeem Bourne-McFarlane returns as the leader of the Auggie defense.
Concordia spent most of 2012 in the Top 25 and in contention for the MIAC title and a postseason bid, and the Cobbers have high hopes again despite the loss of MIAC MVP Brett Baune and Mike Stam Award winner Tom Knowlton. Concordia welcomes back junior QB Griffin Neal, All-MIAC DT Mark Wychor and Neal's favorite target, WR Mark Whiting. In Collegeville, the Johnnies also have talent back on the offensive side of the ball to start the Fasching era. SJU wil be led by All-MIAC lineman Kevin Battis, WR Josh Bungum, who emerged in his first year in 2012, and dangerous RB/returner Jake Essler.
St. Olaf has two big pairs of shoes to fill - from the same family - with the graduation of All-MIAC brothers Dan (QB) and Ben (DB) Dobson, but Stern will lean heavily on perhaps the league's best receiving corps with seniors Stephen Asp and Jake Schmiesing back for the Oles. All-MIAC OL Alexander Hsu also returns for St. Olaf. Gustavus will rely once again on the running ability of star senior Jeffrey Dubose, who is just 40 yards shy of 2,000 for his career. A pair of senior All-MIAC Second Team picks - Joe Hass (LB) and Donte Green (DT) - are back to lead the Gustie defense in 2013.
Carleton graduated a pair of outstanding defensive backs in Mike Elder and Paul Hoffer, but has high hopes for its passing attack with QB Conor Lynch and Preseason All-American WR Chase Gottschalk back on the offensive side of the ball. Junior LB Zach Heinrich returns as the Knights' second-leading tackler. Hamline's success in Rogosheske's debut season will start in the backfield with Austin Duncan, who had 10 total TDs in a breakout freshman season in 2012, and junior RB Ryan Ferkinhoff. Senior DL Derek Wilson returns to lead the Piper defense this season.
The MIAC season will start with a rare kickoff under the Friday night lights, as Saint John's travels to UW-River Falls to begin the 2013 season Friday at 7 p.m. There are six more games Saturday, with five teams opening on their home field. Carleton hosts Grinnell, Hamline hosts UM-Morris, St. Olaf hosts Northwestern and Concordia hosts Jamestown all at 1 p.m., with St. Thomas hosting UW-Eau Claire at 1:10 p.m. Augsburg at Concordia-Wis. at 1 p.m. is the only road game Saturday.
Nonconference action continues the following week, starting with St. Thomas at UW-River Falls on Thursday, Sept. 12, at 7:10 p.m. Bethel and Gustavus will open their seasons - both at home - on Saturday, Sept. 14. The Royals host Wartburg and the Gusties get a visit from Simpson, with both kicking off at 1 p.m.
The conference season starts Saturday, Sept. 21. with several intriguing games on the schedule. St. Thomas hosts Saint John's in the annual Tommie-Johnnie showdown in St. Paul at 1 p.m. St. Olaf visits Concordia at 1 p.m., and Hamline hosts Carleton in the only evening kickoff of the MIAC season at 7 p.m. in St. Paul. A week later Bethel opens MIAC play by hosting Augsburg at 1 p.m. on Oct. 5.
The league's two top-ten teams, St. Thomas and the Royals, will square off in a must-see matchup on Saturday, Oct. 19 on Bethel's home field in Arden Hills at 1:10 p.m. The MIAC regular season wraps up on Saturday, Nov. 16.

The housing sector is showing traction as existing home sales extended May's gain, rising 1.1 percent to a 5.570 million annualized rate for June which is the best of the cycle, since February 2007. Single-family sales rose a very solid 0.8 percent in the month for a plus 3.1 percent year-on-year rate with condos up 3.2 percent for a plus 1.6 percent on-year rate. The total year-on-year rate is modest but constructive at plus 3.0 percent.
The gain in June did not come at the expense of pricing as the median rose 3.7 percent to $247,700 for a year-on-year rate of plus 4.7 percent which is slightly ahead of the sales rate. A plus for pricing is lack of homes on the market which, however, is a major negative for sales growth. Supply fell 0.9 percent in the month to 2.12 million with supply relative to sales falling to 4.6 months from 4.7 months.
Regional sales data are well balanced with the Northeast out in front at a year-on-year plus 5.6 percent and the West bringing up the rear but only at minus 0.8 percent. The Midwest and South, like the Northeast, are in the positive low single-digits.
Sales rates all this year, including for new homes, have been trending slightly higher — but the direction is definitely forward. And steady growth is the recipe for the housing sector which occasionally suffers from boom-and-bust.

What is it?
A printable fact sheet about Maneki Nekos (Japanese Lucky Cats). Seriously awesome: who doesn't love Lucky cats?
I collated information from several different websites to create this fact sheet to use in a lesson on Japanese culture.
It includes the instructions on how to draw lucky cats, shamefully stolen from this website: http://www.dragoart.com/tuts/8904/1/1/how-to-draw-lucky-cat,-maneki-neko,-lucky-cat.htm and general (and very basic) about the symbolism of different types of Maneki Neko (derived mostly from http://donaldmoon.tripod.com/neko/index.html).
How it's used:
As part of the Australian National Curriculum, Year 8's can cover Shogunate Japan (the Edo period) in History. The Maneki Neko originates in the late Edo period to Meiji period.
The idea is students will either draw their own Maneki Neko or colour in a template, choosing the style and symbols which are important to them; and potentially learning a bit about Japanese culture in the meantime.
Update: I've since delivered this task two times. Students seem to really love it!

Color Coded Records
Originally uploaded by activitystory.
So, Sam and I were discussing our digital and analog music collections, like always, and I decided to see what happened if I uploaded photos of the spines of all my records. They were once organized by color, an arrangement that actually lasted a couple of years (see photo at right). Now, however, my extreme laziness dictates that they end up where they end up, crammed into an order that only archaeologists will understand.
I actually like the way that forces me and others to browse, and, thanks to the wonders of flickr pro, I guess that experience is now semi-webified, but without the satisfaction of hearing what you find. You can see all 25 cubes of my storage unit in this flickr set. Sure, many of the images are a little blurry, this method doesn't allow you to see what lives in the blank-spined sleeves, and you really have to click on "All Sizes" (above the image on each flickr page) to read even the ones that are legible, but… let's see what happens. A list of possible fun results:
- Well, honestly, y'all can see my kick ass record collection without having to travel all the way to Austin (I know you were dying to do that)
- Find my second worst record (I know in my heart my worst is an unmarked house remix of "Crazy About Her" by Rod Stewart, but these images don't make that one visible).
- Even though you can't make notes on the large version of the images, maybe people will note and comment their favorite songs or albums, or the stories they're reminded of
- Maybe you want to make me an outrageous offer on one of these records (though I'm pretty sure I'm not the selling kind)
- I don't know what else… select mixes for your own personalized Record Jumble?
- Maybe everyone else will do this and I can do all of the above to someone else's records, which I'm dying to do.
So, let's see what happens. If y'all complain too much about the image quality, I may shoot some better ones; it took me way longer than I expected to get all 25 images cropped and accounted for, but if there's anything I can do to make the above list easier. I guess if none of that happens, at least I have these photos for insurance purposes.

Microbial gingivitis is a inflammation of the gum tissue around one or more teeth. It appears due to the bacterial plaque from the gums sulcus as result of the absence of a proper brushing. The gums sulcus surrounds the teeth and has a depth between 1 ans 3 mm.
Premature symptoms (clinical sign) of the gingivitis is the bleeding the gums both at mastication (feeding) and at tooth brushing. If on this stage does not begin a proper sanitation, the inflammatory processes will lead to the hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the gum, characterized by increasing of interdental papillae or of the free gum edge. Could appear even a unpleasant smell of the mouth (bad breath) due to releasing from bacterial plaque level, of some metabolic products (hydrogen sulphide). In this stage is necessary a dentistry treatment into a consulting room.
Microbes from oral cavity are mesophyll heterotrophic bacteria, characterized by a development to a temperature between 20 and 40 C. degrees by the oxidation of the organic substrates (feeding) present into oral cavity. Their presence is normal to this stage and constitutes oral saprophytic flora. But their number is too big, a drop of saliva containing about 100.000.000 bacteria. Their classification is varied and grants important information related to the shape, pathogenicity, virulence etc.
By mobility, the bacteria are divided into mobile and immobile.
By pathogenic are divided into saprophytic and pathogenic. Pathogenicity is the capacity of microbes to produce an infection into an organism, exceeding its immune defense mechanism. But in some conditions as lack of oral hygiene, avitaminose etc, the saprophytic bacteria may become pathogenic.
By virulence are divided into non virulent bacteria, bacteria with small virulence and bacteria with big virulence. The virulence is the quantitative notion which assesses the bacteria number from the same species, able to cause an infection in body.
By cellular breath, the prokaryotes, are divided into aerobic and anaerobic.
By Gram stain are divided into G(-) bacteria and G(+) bacteria.
Having in view all above mentioned, as well as appearance in time of the dental scale which will prevent the returning to a proper and voluntary, requires a complex treatment into the dentistry consulting room.
The treatment is performed into the dentistry consulting room into 3-4 sessions.The dentistry treatment consist in:
After ending of treatment, the patient have to continue by himself performing of oral hygiene. Also is necessary returning at a dentistry consulting room two times on year for a medical consultation.

Aftershock is now available to stream or download from the Gibson Group Vimeo On Demand page.
Telefeature Aftershock follows the fortunes of four groups of people in the minutes, hours and days after Wellington is destroyed by 'the big one' – a magnitude 8.2 earthquake and subsequent tsunami. Buried office workers who must pull together; strangers, caught by the tsunami on the ruined motorway, who put themselves in danger to save another; a mother who must reunite her family; and, at the centre of the rescue operation, the controller bunkered down at the Wellington Emergency Management Office.
Aftershock is followed up by Aftershock - Would You Survive? a 45 minute factual programme where we test the average Kiwi's preparedness for a natural disaster – and ability to survive if the worst happens. Aftershock – Would You Survive? puts an ordinary Kiwi family through their own personal disaster, challenging them at every turn as their world is literally shaken-up and then they're made to cope in a disaster zone with no help, for three long days.
Available on DVD from the Filmshop.

Hammer Soy's highly concentrated formulation provides you a whopping 23 grams of high-quality protein per serving, making it easy for you to meet your daily protein requirement. Unlike many other soy protein supplements, Hammer Soy contains only naturally derived soy protein and absolutely no GMO (genetically modified organism) soy protein. Genetically altered foods pose potential health threats, including the introduction of new or more potent allergens and toxins, and reduced nutritional content. To protect your health and maximize your benefits, Hammer Soy does not, and will not, contain any GMO-derived soy protein.
Scientific research has established many connections between soy consumption and lower rates of certain cancers, notably breast, prostate, stomach, lung, and colon. Comparing cancer rates for the U.S. with those of Asian countries (which have soy rich diets) shows some remarkable differences. For instance, Japan has one-fourth the rate of breast cancer and one-fifth the rate of prostate cancer. In China, medical researchers linked the consumption of soymilk to a 50% risk reduction for stomach cancer. Studies done in Hong Kong suggest that daily soy consumption was a primary factor in a 50% reduction in the incidence of lung cancer. These are but a few of soy's tremendous benefits, benefits you can derive from a consistent intake of Hammer Soy Protein Powder.
For versatility, concentration and multiple health benefits, it's hard to beat Hammer Soy. Ideal for all women and for men over 40, soy protein contains several phytochemicals, which are believed to be beneficial for helping to support cardiovascular health, optimal cholesterol levels, osteoporosis prevention and possibly cancer prevention. Hammer Soy is a great way to help you meet your daily protein requirements. As with all the Hammer Nutrition fuels, Hammer Soy is made only from the highest quality naturally derived ingredients. It contains absolutely no GMO (genetically modified organism) soy and has no added sugars or artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.
Extra Benefits:Soy protein has been shown to lower LDL cholesterol (the bad kind) without negatively affecting levels of HDL cholesterol (the good kind).
Studies have established a suggested daily requirement of at least a half-gram of protein per pound of body weight for endurance athletes.

Marianne Bland
My paintings consist mainly of two bodies of work- urban landscapes and mixed media abstracts.
For my cityscapes, I create realistically rendered scenes using my own reference photographs in acrylic & oil. Imagery depicted often includes street scenes from San Francisco, featuring a few figures amidst vibrantly colored architecture. In addition to bright color, I often employ slight blurring effects or rough charcoal lines to express the gritty, fast-paced magnetism cities hold for me. Recently, I've been focusing on night scenes. The heightened contrast emphasizes the sense of "looking in" and invites the viewer to contemplate the boundary between intimacy and voyeurism- a line growing increasingly fuzzy in a digital, de-personalized society where privacy rights are constantly on the decline.
In my mixed media pieces, I arrange vintage elements to create modern allegories around themes of memory, social constraints/expectations and nostalgia. Many of these paintings are constructed with layers of old sewing patterns, snippets of text and illustrations from children's books, dictionaries, literature and vintage tomes on odd, general topics like public speaking and housekeeping. I combine the paper elements on canvas with acrylic paint, watercolor, pastel, charcoal and small 3-d objects, such as sewing notions. I am intrigued by the mystery of the materials themselves and their histories, but I am more interested in the ways these seemingly disparate bits can be reassembled and reinterpreted by a modern viewer to refer to current issues. I believe that humanity is reaching a critical stage in evolution where we must choose to work together and lay many existing patterns to rest so that we can build new ones that serve everyone. In this context, I present compositions that are sometimes humorous, sometimes sentimental and often personal.

Are you looking for THE MOST POWERFUL TRUCKMOUNT sold in Australia?
How about these features:
- Diesel Power! Isuzu diesel engine delivers 52hp and loads of torque
- More Fuel Efficient The DXT Genesis is 25-40% more fuel efficient that similar dual wand truckmounts that use petrol driven engines.
- More Durable - Stainless Steel Sub Frame and Stainless Steel Waste Tank
- More Vacuum - With its factory fitted Kunkle valve and 4.5" plumbing, it delivers more vacuum power than ANY other slide in truck mount sold here!
- More Pressure - The only machine that provides 3000 psi heated pressure makes the DXT Genesis the ONLY choice for not only tile and grout cleaning, but also the more lucrative concrete clean and capture technique.
- Simple design -Lowers maintenance costs and dramatically decreases time required to perform regular maintenance
- More Heat! - Hotter cleaning temperatures increase efficiency and productivity whilst using less chemicals
- Quiet operation for operating in residential areas or performing after hours commercial work
Isuzu - Quiet, Reliable, Powerful and Efficient
The Isuzu diesel engine is well known for being one of the most reliable industrial engines in the world today. Years of reliable service across a wide variety of industrial applications and harsh operation environments and an incredible 5 year/5000 hour warranty made it the perfect choice for the PowerClean D-XT Genesis.
This liquid cooled OHV designed engine is more fuel efficient and quieter than similiar sized petrol engines, and more importantly it has fewer moving parts to maintain. There is a reason that so many industrial vehicles and pieces of equipment use diesel powered engines instead of petrol motors, and now PowerClean Industries also offers the cleaning industry that choice as well.
Roots Reliability
All Genesis units feature your choice of a powerful Roots 56 or an even more impressive Roots 59 blower! Roots blowers are unquestionably the highest quality blowers on the market today and are backed by the industry's finest warranty. Roots has set the industry standard as far as raw drying power as well. Today, other blower manufacturers have come up with fancy designs that they use as a smokescreen to hide behind. The truth of the matter is simple: Roots blowers have the strongest gears and attachments and produce as much as 20% more CFM than some competitive blowers*. No marketing gimmicks, no trickery, just the highest quality, highest performing and most reliable blowers on the market today. New DSL Technology provides superior lubrication, reduces wear and increases longevity! We could have used other styles (such as tri-lobe etc) however, when you see the testing results, you will come to the same conclusion we did!! Bi-Lobe blowers are still the way to go for our industry.
If you are comparing truckmounts, ask your supplier point blank - Which produces more airflow? A Bi-Lobe blower or a Tri-Lobe Blower and watch their reaction. You can then research the answer for yourself! DO NOT GET MISLEAD WITH MARKETING GIMMICKS!
The PowerClean Genesis comes with the massive Roots 59-DSL - 850 CFM Vacuum blower with Dual Splash Lubrication (no more grease nipples) for longer life. This is our flagship model and is by far the most popular machine that we supply!
Dresser Roots Blower Warranty - Exclusive 30 month warranty through PowerClean Industries!
Roots DSL Blowers have an oil capacity as much as double the competitive units (based on blower size and configuration). Why is this important to you?
- Oil may run cooler due to greater volume to dissipate heat
- Fewer "turns" of oil with greater volume
- Cooler running means oxidation is minimized
- Oil changes may be less frequent due to cooler operation and fewer "turns"
- Bearings and seals may have increased life expectancy
Cat Pumps, Only the Best - Now with last step chemical injection!
When it came to deciding which brand of water pump to use on the Genesis the choice was simple. The D-XT is the first production truckmount in th eindustry to feature the amzing new 3000 psi last step chemical injection system from CAT. It has also been equipped with the new Hot-N-Dry seals which allow the pump to run dry without risk of damage! Superior reliability and longevity as well as ease of maintenance made Cat the obvious pump of choice for all PowerClean Industries machines. Genesis units comes standard with Cat 5CP pumps and deliver as much as 3,000 PSI @ 19 litres per minute of water flow for unmatched performance and versatility! The Genesis heating system was designed to easily withstand these pressures and allow you to clean tile, grout and other hard surfaces with heated solution for maximum cleaning power!
Featuring Service-Smart™ Engineering
All PowerClean Industries multi-surface cleaning plants are engineered to ensure ease of maintenance, service and overall simplicity. After all, who wants to spend hours performing basic maintenance when it can be done in just minutes! Our Service-Smart™ engineering principles make maintenance fast and easy so that you can spend more time working with your equipment instead of working on it.
A few of the Service-Smart™ features on the new Genesis are
- Front mounted fluid ports (engine, blower, pump)
- E-Z Glide™ adjustable belt tensioning system
- Color coded internal hoses
- Easy access open air design allows fast, convenient access to ALL components
- Only a single electronic relay is present on unit and is easy accessible
- Steady-Temp™ diverter can be rebuilt without removing it from the unit
- Cat pump can be rebuilt without removal from unit
- Filterless belt driven Auto Pump Out is easily accessible
- Liquid Heat Exchanger can be completely rebuilt without removing it from the unit
- Lightweight aluminum side panels are easy to remove and dissipate heat better than steel
- All gauges can be easily accessed without removing panels or covers
New Features of the PowerClean D-XT Diesel Genesis:
- More efficient plumbing - The D-XT features all smooth flow, swept 4.5" plumbing throughout the vacuum system
- Larger Vacuum Ports - Comes standard with 2" ports, but can be easily upgraded with 2.5" ports for maximum vacuum performance and raw power!
- Kunkle Valve - Instead of utilizing the standard spring-loaded vacuum relief valve that every other truck mount uses, the D-XT Genesis is using a Kunkle valve, which is a performance and high powered precision vacuum relief valve (similiar to a blow off valve on a turbo sports car) which enables us to maintain higher inches of mercury ('Hg) before bleeding off performance like other truck mounts do at lower inches of mercury.
- Larger Filters - The waste tank filter basket on the D-XT is 3 times the size of any other filter basket. This enables you to keep cleaning for longer periods of time, and allows maximum airflow through the tank, because the vacuum is no longer impeded.
- External Blower Filters - Normally located inside truckmount waste tanks, PowerClean have gone to the expense of mounting them externally so they stay clean due to not being covered by lint and waste tank debris common with other brands of truckmounts.
- Massive waste tank - To cater for true professionals, the D-XT waste tank is 500 litres in size, considerably larger than ANY other machine on the market.
- Ceramic Coating - The exhaust system is ceramic coated (like drag racing exhaust systems) which allows the heat to stay trapped inside the heat exchangers for greater efficiency and cooler running temps for in your van or truck due to less heat escaping.
- Mutli-Temp™ Cleaning System- Now you can clean with dual wands with different temperatures!
- Roots DSL Blower- New Double Splash Lubrication blower eliminates grease and increases longevity!
- Marine grade switches feature panel mounted circuit breakers!
- Improved silencing system lowers overall noise levels and lowers pitch to more comfortable levels!
Innovative Features
Innovation has been a key factor in our success. When the D-XT Genesis was first introduced it was, and still is, the only 850 CFM Diesel truck mount in the industry to operate at high pressure and even today it remains the king of high pressure cleaning machines by providing heated pressure washing capabilities that no other truck mount can come close to. Additionally, all PowerClean Industries units feature our exclusive EZ-Change™ front mounted fluid and maintenance ports that allow you to quickly and easily change your vital fluids from the front of the unit without making a mess. Simple really. A Genesis will allow you to go through your typical work day faster and easier then any other truck mount on the market today. You'll operate more efficiently, get more work done in less time, increase your bottom line and be able to spend more time running your business instead of worrying about it!
Simple Solutions
Sometimes it's the simple things that make a truck mount easier to work with and operate. The Genesis front control panel is just such a thing. Unique to the`Genesis are the new fittings that enable our exclusive Multi-Temp™ cleaning system which allows two cleaners to operate at the same time with different temperatures! A high pressure outlet for cold water allows you to perform cleaning and pressure washing when heat may be detrimental (decks and wood surfaces for example). Of course, being a Genesis, you can pressure wash at up to 3,000 PSI either with or without heat. Another unique outlet is the dedicated upholstery outlet. This outlet delivers cleaning solution at temperatures ranging from 76°C - 87°C (170°-190°) for cleaning upholstery or delicate fabrics. Our exclusive Multi-Temp™ cleaning system will allow one cleaner to operate from the standard hot water quick connect and adjust his temperature from 71°C - 121°C (160°-250°) while another cleaner uses either the cold water or dedicated upholstery outlet. Lastly, the front panel features our exclusive Maintenance and Fluid Drain Ports allowing you to drain your engine, pump and blower oil direct from the front of the unit. No other truck mount in the industry delivers these exclusive time saving and convenience features and no other truck mount delivers the performance of a Genesis!!

Eleanor Parker, who was nominated three times for a best-actress Oscar but whose best-known role was a supporting one, as the marriage-minded baroness in "The Sound of Music," died on Monday in Palm Springs, Calif. She was 91.
A family friend, Richard Gale, told The Associated Press that the cause was complications of pneumonia.
Ms. Parker was an elegant, ladylike yet sensual film actress. Still, her most recognizable role, as the Baroness who loves Christopher Plummer's character, Captain von Trapp, in "The Sound of Music" (1965), called for an icy demeanor. Uninterested in his houseful of children, she loses him to the governess, played memorably by Julie Andrews. (Laura Benanti played the part in the recent version on NBC.)
The highest accolades of Ms. Parker's career came a decade before.
She was nominated for an Oscar for dramatic roles as a wrongly convicted young prisoner in "Caged" (1950), a police officer's neglected wife in "Detective Story" (1951) and an opera star with polio in "Interrupted Melody" (1955), a biography of the Australian soprano Marjorie Lawrence. She also received an Emmy Award nomination in 1963 for an episode of "The Eleventh Hour," an NBC series about psychiatric cases.
If she never became a star, admirers contended, it was because of her versatility. Sometimes a blonde, sometimes a brunette, often a redhead, Ms. Parker made indelible impressions but submerged herself in a wide range of characters, from a war hero's noble fiancée in "Pride of the Marines" (1945) to W. Somerset Maugham's vicious waitress-prostitute in a remake of "Of Human Bondage" (1946).
Eleanor Jean Parker was born on June 26, 1922, in Cedarville, Ohio, the daughter of a math teacher and his wife. She appeared in school plays as a child and, in her teens, headed for Massachusetts to study acting at the Rice Summer Theater in Martha's Vineyard. Then she moved to California and studied at the Pasadena Playhouse.
According to numerous sources, she was approached by movie scouts at both schools but turned down their offers of screen tests in favor of completing her education. When she had done that, she got back to the Warner Brothers scout and was soon given a contract.
Her feature film debut, however, was delayed. It was supposed to be in the western "They Died With Their Boots On" (1941), with Errol Flynn, but her scenes were edited out. In 1942 she appeared in two war-promotion shorts and provided the voice of a telephone operator in a Humphrey Bogart gangster movie, "The Big Shot." Finally, later that year, she appeared as a frightened bus passenger in "Busses Roar," a black-and-white drama about wartime saboteurs.
Over the next quarter-century her career tended toward the deadly serious in films like "Between Two Worlds" (1944), about air-raid victims in the afterlife, and "The Man With the Golden Arm" (1955), the drug-addiction drama, as Frank Sinatra's unsupportive wife. But she won favorable reviews in the occasional comedy, like "The Voice of the Turtle" (1947), opposite Ronald Reagan, and "A Hole in the Head" (1959), in which she also starred with Sinatra, and in hybrids like "The King and Four Queens" (1956), with Clark Gable.
Ms. Parker appeared in numerous television movies and as a guest on several series, mostly in the 1960s and '70s. She won new attention as a powerful movie-industry secretary in the NBC series "Bracken's World" (1969-70). Her last theatrical film was "Sunburn" (1979), a poorly received comedy starring Farrah Fawcett, and her final television appearance a 1991 movie, "Dead on the Money," with Kevin McCarthy.
Ms. Parker's first husband was Fred L. Losse, a Navy dentist whom she met on the set of the pro-Soviet drama "Mission to Moscow." Their marriage, in 1943, lasted 21 months. In 1946 she married Bert E. Friedlob, a film producer. Before their divorce, in 1953, they had three children together.
A third marriage, to Paul Clemens, an artist, lasted from 1954 to 1965. They had a son. In 1966, she married Raymond N. Hirsch, a Chicago businessman, who died in 2001. Information on survivors was not immediately available.
In 1953, with two recent Oscar nominations to her credit, Ms. Parker talked to The New York Times about her good career luck so far. "Things have a way of working out right for me," she said, adding a bit later, "I maintain that if you work, believe in yourself and do what is right for you without stepping all over others, the way somehow opens up."
"I even got my three wishes granted," she said in the same interview. "To be in pictures, to give Mother a mink coat and buy the folks a house."

Zimmerman VerdictJuly 16, 2013
ZIMMERMAN VERDICT SURVEY - Tell us what you think
George Zimmerman, the Florida neighborhood watch volunteer accused of murdering Trayvon Martin, was found not guilty of second-degree murder and manslaughter.
Zimmerman says Martin attacked him, punching him in the face and slamming his head into a sidewalk, before he was forced to use his concealed firearm to shoot Martin in self defense.
Martin's lawyers say Zimmerman racially profiled Martin, got out of his car to follow him, then confronted and murdered the youth without justification.

Usually the two words carpets and rugs are used interchangeably. Both are floor coverings with the only difference in size. Rugs are smaller than carpets.

For decades, TV ad time has been sold the very same way: In May, the networks present their new pilots to advertisers, who buy "upfront" ad time, months in advance of the new TV season. And the new TV season always started in the fall, because that's when car advertisers wanted to push their new products. A kinda bizarre reason to structure a whole industry.
Now, thanks to the writers' strike shutting down TV production, pilot season has been thrown off, and it's looking like the "upfronts" won't happen--a dramatic change to an entrenched industry. This could be a great opportunity for the TV networks to extricate themselves from an incredibly inefficient system: everyone fighting for the same talent when producing the pilots, and the same eyeballs when they all debut at the same time.
Yesterday at Davos, NBC Universal chief Jeff Zucker said this upheaval provides a great opportunity to reevaluate the system--especially when it comes to the amount of pilots they produce. You can bet that all the networks are looking at this as an opportunity to slash costs--more reality, fewer pilots.
I was hearing lots of talk that the advertising buyers would HATE losing the week of "upfront" fun. I'm not just talking about the wining and dining--though there's plenty. I'm talking about the fact that the "upfronts" are an easy way for the ad buyers to make most of their ad buys all at once and organize their spending plans.
But, surprise, surprise, a survey of big media buyers (from Starcom, to Carat, and Optimedia among others) by MediaPost found that they think the presentations are outdated, and that they actually don't really like sitting through 15 hours of presentations.
Really? Wow! Well, that might actually end up being bad news for the networks. Without that institution of the "upfronts" advertisers may feel freer to spend even more of their budgets on non-traditional advertising, spending more on the web. So we'll soon see if it's the "upfronts" institution, or the content, that guarantees the spending.
Oh, and about that content, with the writers still on strike, what scripted content will there be?
