Security enforcement
Security enforcement and asset tracing
We are frequently engaged to deal with enforcement of creditors' rights in respect of secured and unsecured debt.
Security enforcement often involves taking steps to enforce share mortgages, or floating/fixed charges and charges over land. The rules and procedures for enforcement in the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands can differ significantly from those in other jurisdictions, particularly the USA.
We also have significant experience in actions taken to preserve property and restrain unlawful dealings in assets: for example by obtaining (or defending) freezing and disclosure injunctions. We often work with investigators and forensic accountants to identify assets subject to litigation and to adopt strategies to have them retained pending the outcome of a case.
Examples of our recent cases include:
- Acting for numerous Saad affiliated corporate defendants in the high profile $9.2 billion fraud action between Saudi based AHAB Company and Maan Al Sanea in which the Cayman Islands Courts have to date considered important issues on the scope of freezing injunctions and questions of appropriate forum.
- Representing Deloitte & Touche in its ongoing efforts to recover Cayman Islands assets in relation to the Bre-X gold fraud, and in particular the maintenance of a Cayman Islands freezing injunction pending conclusion of substantive proceedings in Canada.
- Acting for the secured creditor of the Westin Casuarina Resort and Spa in the Cayman Islands to enforce its security and appoint Receivers in respect of the Hotel's property and business.

Royals get first walk-off win of season in 5-4 triumph over Angels
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Omar Infante delivered another big hit against the Angels, singling home the winning run with one out in the ninth inning to send the Kansas City Royals over Los Angeles 5-4 Sunday.
Lorenzo Cain hit three doubles for the Royals, finishing with four hits and two RBIs.
An error by second baseman Howie Kendrick set up the game-ending hit by Infante, whose grand slam Friday night helped beat the Angels.
Infante's single came against Los Angeles newcomer Jason Grilli (0-3). Pittsburgh traded its former closer to the Angels on Friday.
Greg Holland (1-2) struck out two in the ninth.

A winner was selected from 188 designs submitted by 25 freelance designers.
I am a professor and author. I am creating a book for the 50th Anniversary of the MBA program at Oklahoma State University. The book will contain Profiles of 50 Distinguished OSU MBA Alumni. The title of the book will be MBA PREFERRED. The project is to design a book cover for this book. It will be a 6" X 9" book. Oklahoma State University's colors are orange and black although the 50th anniversary material has been in express, taupe and orange. see website http://spears.okstate.edu/mba50
Oklahoma State University Alumni, donors and those interested in learning more about the lives of those with MBA degrees. 50 distinguished individuals will be profiled so they will also be very interested in the book for themselves, their families and their companies.
Book Cover for a 6" X 9" book. Colors should be orange, black and white. The title of the book is MBA PREFERRED which should be in a nice bold font at the top of the book cover. You are free to be creative with the graphics. At the bottom of the book cover, I would like the following centered. Also, open to these words being somewhere else on the front cover.
Celebrating 50 Years--in italics
Profiles of 50 Distinguished MBA Alumni
Oklahoma State University
OSTATE Spears School Logo (attached)
I have also uploaded the MBA 50 year logo (I don't want this logo on the front of the book), but can envision a book cover with this type of globe with MBA PREFERRED overlayed and a black block at the bottom with the three lines described above. The 50th anniversary website is using some expresso, taupe, and orange colors so you may want to Iincorporate this into the book cover instead of it being all orange black and white.

MenuDirections 2013 Day 3: World Cuisines and Menu Trends
The final day of the conference featured tastes from around the globe and a look at upcoming menu trends.
Fernando Acuna, director of food and nutrition, volunteer services and valet services at Oklahoma Heart Hospital in Oklahoma City, won the sixth annual Steal This Idea contest, sponsored by Simplot. Acuna won an iPad mini. See Acuna's idea below.
The most difficult time for any family in a hospital is waiting for a loved one to inevitably pass. Keeping this in mind, we provide comfort carts. We deliver breakfast, lunch and dinner to the patient's room. The family can focus on being with their loved one without worrying about leaving for meals. Caring for the patient's family at this time is an important expression and a huge success for our organization. We extend compassion and caring beyond the typical hospital setting, and the families are deeply appreciative.

As Poteet explains in an email sent to the Davises: " . . . thus an adventure was born. And so, using your research as a road map, I contacted Yale University, gathered a little more info, and was soon on the teeming, filthy, glorious streets of Calcutta in search of a sacred rock stolen from an indigenous tribe in Texas almost 200 years ago. I had very few leads and no actual contacts, but with a sense of purpose and a capacity for drinking lots of milky sweet tea, I was confident that I would close this Circle. (Though the actual logic of why I was looking for this meteorite, and what exactly this Circle was, got more twisted with each telling.)
And so, to cut to the chase; Mission Accomplished. Pics attached."
Poteet found what he was looking for, and authors Walt and Isabel Davis can take the credit for inspiring his adventure!

DIY Kitchen Backsplash Inspirations
If you are remodeling, updating a look, or just wanting a bit of a change in your kitchen, starting with the backsplash is a perfect place to get big impact.
A new backsplash can be a bit pricey depending on the materials you choose and if you have someone else install it, but it doesn't have to be. There are lots of eye catching DIY ideas out there that are quite painless and will have you hanging out in your kitchen with a big smile and a sense of accomplishment in no time. Home Edit put together a list of 10 projects worth a look from all around the web, here are a few of our favorites:
1. Chalkboard paint, draw a design, DONE!
2. Purchase or gather some river rock, hot glue them to a wire netting, and grout in the spaces.
3. Buy some colored glass or back paint it yourself using multiple coats of spray paint and then attach with a heavy weight silicon sealant.
4. Mirrored backsplashes can add dramatic effect and lots of reflected light in small dark kitchens.
5. Head to your local thrift or tile stores and grab up random tiles for a mix and match mosaic. Compose your tiles, adhere them to the wall, and grout.
Consider nailing up a thin sheet of plywood to the wall before gluing your backsplash for something less permanent. This would also allow you to customize your kitchen in rental units.

Pymatgen-db is a database add-on for the Python Materials Genomics (pymatgen) materials analysis library.
Project description
Pymatgen-db is a database add-on for the Python Materials Genomics (pymatgen) materials analysis library. It enables the creation of Materials Project-style MongoDB databases for management of materials data. A query engine is also provided to enable the easy translation of MongoDB docs to useful pymatgen objects for analysis purposes.
Pymatgen-db also provides a clean and intuitive web ui (the Materials Genomics UI) for exploring Mongo collections. While the design originates for the purpose of exploring collections generated using pymatgen-db, it can be used to explore any Mongo database and collection.
Getting pymatgen-db
Stable version
The version at the Python Package Index (PyPI) is always the latest stable release that will be hopefully, be relatively bug-free. The easiest way to install pymatgen-db on any system is to use easy_install or pip, as follows:
easy_install pymatgen-db
pip install pymatgen-db
Developmental version
The bleeding edge developmental version is at the pymatgen-db's Github repo. The developmental version is likely to be more buggy, but may contain new features. The Github version include test files as well for complete unit testing. After cloning the source, you can type:
python setup.py install
or to install the package in developmental mode:
python setup.py develop
All required python dependencies should be automatically taken care of if you install pymatgen-db using easy_install or pip. Otherwise, these packages should be available on PyPI.
- Python 2.7+ required. New default modules such as json are used, as well as new unittest features in Python 2.7.
- pymatgen 2.5+, including all dependencies associated with it. Please refer to the pymatgen docs for detailed installation instructions.
- pymongo 2.4+: For interfacing with MongoDb.
- MongoDB 2.2+: Get it at the MongoDB website.
A powerful command-line script (mgdb) provides most of the access to many of the features in pymatgen-db, including db initialization, insertion of data, running the materials genomics ui, etc. To see all options available, type:
mgdb --help
Initial setup
The first step is to install and setup MongoDB on a server of your choice. The MongoDB manual is an excellent place to start. For the purposes of testing out the tools here, you may simply download the binary distributions corresponding to your OS from the MongoDB website, and then running the following commands:
# For Mac and Linux OS. mkdir test_db && mongod --dbpath test_db
This will create a test database and start the Mongo daemon. Once you are done with testing, you can simply press Ctrl-C to stop the server and delete the "test_db" folder. Running a Mongo server this way is insecure as Mongo does not enable authentication by default. Please refer to the MongoDB manual when setting up your production database.
After your server is up, you should create a database config file by running the following command:
mgdb init -c db.json
This will prompt you for a few parameters to create a database config file, which will make it much easier to use mgdb in future. Note that the config file name can be anything of your choice, but using "db.json" will allow you to use mgdb without explicitly specifying the filename in future. If you are just testing using the test database, simply hit Enter to accept the defaults for all settings.
For more advanced use of the "db.json" config file (e.g., specifying aliases, defaults, etc., please refer to the following sample.
Inserting calculations
To insert an entire directory of runs (where the topmost directory is "dir_name") into the database, use the following command:
# Note that "-c db.json" may be omitted if the config filename is the # current directory under the default filename of db.json. mgdb insert -c db.json dir_name
A sample run has been provided for download for testing purposes. Unzip the file and run the above command in the directory.
Materials Genomics UI
A simple web interface has been provided to assist in the querying and viewing of results. This web interface can be started by running:
mgdb runserver -c db.json
This will run the web server at http://127.0.0.1:8000. Go to this address in your browser and you should see something like the figure below. Most queries can be performed using the web ui. Two options for presenting results are provided - a table format which is easier for comparing data, and a tree format which makes it much easier to explore highly nested trees of data.
materials genomics ui
Materials Genomics RESTful API
The Materials Genomics UI also implements a RESTful interface to the database. Two main methods are implemented now. A simple GET request that provides the ability to delve into a document. For example:
returns the "output" key of task_id 14 as a JSON.
A more advanced POST request provides the ability to make advanced queries. This is the basis upon which the Materials Genomics UI is built. For example, posting:
{criteria: "criteria as json string", properties: "list of properties as json string"}
would return the query as a JSON response.
Querying a database
Sometimes, more fine-grained querying is needed (e.g., for subsequent postprocessing and analysis).
The mgdb script allows you to make simple queries from the command line:
# Query for the task id and energy per atom of all calculations with # formula Li2O. Note that the criteria has to be specified in the form of # a json string. Note that "-c db.json" may be omitted if the config # filename is the current directory under the default filename of db.json. mgdb query -c db.json --crit '{"pretty_formula": "Li2O"}' --props task_id energy_per_atom
For more advanced queries, you can use the QueryEngine class for which an alias is provided at the root package. Some examples are as follows:
>>> from matgendb import QueryEngine >>> qe = QueryEngine() #Print the task id and formula of all entries in the database. >>> for r in qe.query(properties=["pretty_formula", "task_id"]): ... print "{task_id} - {pretty_formula}".format(**r) ... 12 - Li2O # Get a pymatgen Structure from the task_id. >>> structure = qe.get_structure_from_id(12) # Get pymatgen ComputedEntries using a criteria. >>> entries = qe.get_entries({})
The language follows very closely to pymongo/MongoDB syntax, except that QueryEngine provides useful aliases for commonly used fields as well as translation to commonly used pymatgen objects like Structure and ComputedEntries.
Extending pymatgen-db
Currently, pymatgen-db is written with standard VASP runs in mind. However, it is perfectly extensible to any kind of data, e.g., other kinds of VASP runs (bandstructure, NEB, etc.) or just any form of data in general. Developers looking to adapt pymatgen-db for other purposes should look at the VaspToDbTaskDrone class as an example and write similar drones for their needs. The QueryEngine can generally be applied to any Mongo collection, with suitable specification of aliases if desired.
How to cite pymatgen-db
If you use pymatgen and pymatgen-db in your research, please consider citing the following work:

Dharma Veggie Burger topped with Namaste Peanut Sauce and the appropriate refreshment
Straight from the pages of an unearthed 1973 Dharma Initiative Food Protocol Manual.
A tropical twist on a meat-less burger with one of the group's tightly sealed secrets – creamy Namaste Peanut sauce. According to the scribbled notes on the recipe, it was a Horace-approved, special occasion favorite.
The Dharma Veggie Burger consists of the Island's finest produce: fresh pineapple rounds, sliced cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced red beets, green leaf lettuce and tomato. All fruits and vegetables were sprinkled with fresh lime, freshly ground pepper, and a splash of soy sauce before grilling.
Choose your grilled rounds and additions, get stacking, and saucing!
Namaste Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 cup of light coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, tamari or Coconut Aminos, if you have it
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 small shallot
- 1 tsp grated ginger, or pinch of ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon Sambal Olek
- 1/2 fresh lime
- 1 teaspoon dark agave nectar
- 1 teaspoon Indian curry powder (to give it that little Namaste-something)
- dash toasted sesame oil
- Puree in a blender or food processor.
- Transfer to a small sauce pot on the stove.
- Bring to a boil, frequently stirring with a whisk. If it not thick enough, stir in more peanut butter. If too thick, stir in water, by the tablespoon.
- Lower heat.
- Spoon or spread onto burger, as desired.
Serve on a small sourdough bun with a cold Dharma brand stout to wash it all down. Just perfect after a long day at the Barracks. Namas-tasty, if you will.
If you're in the know, tap into my post from the flash sideways – Dr. Pierre Chang's twist on country favorites – including an old-fashioned Sweet Potato. pie.

If your Twitter account is where you talk to your customers or promote your business, the last thing you want the account to be known for is sending controversial tweets or DM spamming those who follow your account.
I've noted the amount of DM spam is on the rise again recently, following a long time between drinks, but thankfully there are some simple steps you can take to prevent your hard work from being compromised.
- Remove Applications which are connected to your Twitter account.
In my experience giving authorisation to a dodgy app or website is the primary cause of a hack. Much of the relationships you build online are based upon trust, so make sure you first trust any service which wants to connect to your twitter account.
- Change your twitter password regularly.
It's good practice to change passwords on any service every 90 days or so, and while your twitter account wouldn't usually contain any compromising information, you don't want to be one of those embarrassed by the wrong (or even the right) people using your account.
That's it.
The Security company Sophos just shared a post with similar guidance. The author prioritises running anti-spyware and keylogger checks on your computer. But I think that's got little relation to a specific hack of your twitter account. If you are finding keyloggers or spyware on your computer it's symptomatic of a larger problem.
We can only hope as twitter grows they revert to being wary of unfettered account creation, mention spam and Application connection. But as long as twitter continues with a reactive process for shutting down spammers, we'll need to be on our guard.
UPDATE: Webroot are reporting HTTPS has become the default protocol for contacting twitter on the web. It may not solve all the problems, but it's certainly no harm.Follow @franksting

While many of us can say we've had the same family doctor for many years, it's unlikely that we pay just $5 per visit. Unless we have really good medical insurance with a really low co-pay. But some patients in Rushville, Illinois can happily say that they don't even need insurance to see their doc. Eighty-seven-year-old Dr. Russell Dohner, who has been practicing since 1955, has been making headlines for being one of the last docs to charge pennies for care. He doesn't even take insurance, because he says it's not worth the bother. His philosophy: "I always just wanted to be a doctor to help people with their medical problems." In other words, not to make the big bucks.
But Dohner admits the reality is that he hardly makes enough to pay his nurses. He makes his living mostly from a farm his family owns. So clearly, he's an anomaly. But it does make you think ... shouldn't more doctors feel like Dohner and offer their patients more affordable health care?
Well, some will -- if a patient is willing to ask. You may not be able to get away with a $5 doctor's visit like the people of Rushville, but you could save money by employing a few tricks ...
- Make your doctor your ally. If you can get your primary care physician on your side, they could help recommend doctors who will work with you on a large out-of-pocket expense or even be your advocate with a facility's finance department. For instance, when I had back surgery, my physiatrist personally hooked me up with a generous surgeon who he made aware of my financial situation at the time.
- Make employees in the billing department your friends. Building good rapport by being assertive and friendly with the billing department could do wonders for your bank account, because they could give you the info you need to save money or help you work out a payment plan.
- Negotiate. If you haven't met your deductible yet or have costly co-insurance, see if your doctor will cut his rate if you pay in cash. And if you have to see someone out-of-network, it's possible your insurer may still cover the cost at the higher in-network rate as long as you can prove that your plan doesn't have a specialist with the expertise you need, or has an inadequate number of specialists in your area. If not, offer 35 percent less than the charge (about what he'd recoup from your insurer).
- If worst comes to worst, fight. Lots of people feel like they have to just roll over and accept whatever an insurance company tells them they'll cover -- or won't. But if you feel like they won't pay for a service you believe you deserve, don't give up. You can appeal their decision, and ultimately even contact your state insurance commission, which will mediate a dispute and possibly save you lots of dinero.
What are some tips you employ to save money on doctor's visits and other health care costs?

Community Centres
- Run a paper drive every quarter
- Start a community programme based on recycling
- Print flyers and posters encouraging surrounding communities to bring paper every week
- Start a community programme based on recycling
- Get local newspapers to print articles and information about the centre's recycling efforts
Getting started
Contact representatives:
The Mpact Recycling representative will sign you up and start the community centre off with:
Should you wish to recycle the centre's paper only and do not wish to do any form of a paper drive, we will supply you with 30 white bags which are collected once all 30 bags are full. The bags need to be placed in one central place on the centre's property for ease of collection.
Office recyclers
Mpact Recycling 'Ronnie recycler bins' are boxes that can be used in the offices and halls as an easy way for separation and storage of paper. These need to be collected from our offices.
Ronnie banks
Each Ronnie bank holds between 350kgs and 500kgs when full. A Ronnie bank is supplied to the community centre if the tonnages exceed a certain amount and the bags are filled too quickly. Mpact Recycling suggests an active paper drive is put in place to encourage community members to bring paper from home on a weekly basis.
The Ronnie bank must be located in a place which allows easy access for a 16 tonne collection vehicle. Ronnie banks that stand empty for three consecutive months will be removed.
Collection & payment
Collections are not done automatically. Each centre needs to call Mpact Recycling to arrange a collection as and when they have 30 bags of paper or when their paper bank is full. You will need to supply your GP code (supplied to you upon registration) when you log the collection. Once collected, we pay for every tonne of paper picked up. Payment terms are as per your Supplier registration form. A detailed remittance advice is sent at the time of payment via email.

This recipe was kindly given to me by the chef at a café where I had dinner a wee while ago. It was a garnish on a plate of paté and bread, and totally delicious. I thought it'd make an excellent bento dish. Quite closely related to Maki's cooked to death peppers.
1/2 red cabbage, sliced finely
1 red onion, sliced finely
1 tsp garlic, chopped finely
1/2 tsp fresh chili, chopped finely
1/3 cup raw sugar
1/3 cup cider (or red wine) vinegar
1/3 cup ginger wine
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup redcurrant jelly
Put first eight ingredients into a big pot and cook for 20 mins or so, stirring often.
Add the redcurrant jelly and continue to cook until all the liquid has reduced to a toffee-ish consistency.
Store in fridge, it lasts for months if you don't eat it. You can use it cold or heat it up. Use it as a condiment or garnish rather than as a vegetable.
My blog is Food and Shoes
Sounds delicious! I love the combination of cabbage and onion.
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
So do I. My favourite is equal quantities of red onion and red cabbage boiled in butter, with lots and lots of black pepper. But it's not very slimming, and not nice cold either. Too much butter that all goes hard.
Mmmm... that almost looks like a red cabbage chutney!
Would you consider the ginger wine to be necessary, Bronwyn? What I'm hoping is that you might be able to suggest an alternative ingredient/s.
Well, it was the ginger wine that gave the flavour we couldn't identify when we asked what was in it. As a substitute, maybe a little grated ginger and some sherry?
Found several recipes for ginger wine on the internet, but most of them listed ingredients that those of us in the U.S. haven't a clue about. But here's a recipe that may be a close cousin to ginger wine, and has ingredients that we can all find.
Could ginger wine be the same as ginger ale (or ginger beer in the UK) perhaps? A ginger-flavored, sweet soft drink?
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger_wine
It's alcoholic and syrupy. But the alcohol all evaporates when you cook it, so you pregnant people don't need to worry! It's English - go down to your local off license and ask for some if you're in England. Sort of thing Ena Sharples would have drunk on a cold winter's day in the snug. If any of you are old enough to remember her.
We have a well known brand in the UK called 'Stone's Ginger Wine'. It costs about £4.50 for 70cl, it's just that I was never much of a fan of the stuff (it's one of those bottles that emerges from the back of people's cupboards at Christmas time and then gets ignored for another year - not enough Enas around nowadays to knock it back in a season!).
Having yet another bottle taking up valuable space was something I wanted to avoid - and when you add the cost of this to the cost of redcurrant jelly (as I don't eat meat it's not a kitchen staple - but I do like it!) it all gets a bit daunting.
However... Maki's given me an idea! Ginger beer is very easy to get hold of and is inexpensive. If I simmer some for a while in a wide bottomed pan it shouldn't take too long to evaporate into something more syrupy. And my other half really likes ginger beer so he'll be happy to drink up any leftovers.
Looks like a weekend project!
Stone's Green Ginger Wine is what we have here too - I think it may be that there's not really enough demand for the stuff for anyone else to bother making it. It's not terribly expensive though, so I bought some and added it to my alcohol stash - the cabbage is nice enough that I may well get through the bottle in the next couple of years.
Hello from the UK
I've been trawling the net for a red cabbage/onion chutney recipe and yours sounds yum and I want to try and make it today, got al the ingredients but here in the UK we dont use 'cups' as measurements (except for bras!!!) so I've no idea how much it is! Can you tell me in either ounces or grams how much half a cup is? Many thanks
Hi sue
I'm in the UK too and I'm also not much of a fan of the cup system.
With Bronwyn's recipe there's no need to be very precise, but to get a handle on how big a 'cup' is measure out 225ml (or 225g) - you can google that to ounces if you want, the UK was supposed to have gone metric in 1971.
Once you have 225ml or grams, find a cup or mug that gives your measured water the best fit and use that to work out the amount of ingredients you need.
The answer to your question about how much is half a cup is roughly 110grams of water. But I would strongly advise you not to use this to measure out ingredients as half a cup of red cabbage, or vinegar, or sugar don't eight the same, it will only be accurate for the vinegar. The cup system measures volume NOT mass or weight. My sincere apologies if you knew this, I honestly have no desire to patronise you, all I wish is to make things clear.
I usually use weights myself, but this recipe was given to me in volumes. As Loretta says, it's not important to be precise so just use any old cup you have in the kitchen. A decent sized teacup or a small coffee mug will be about right - I think I use one of those smoked glass Arcoroc cups. Considering the possible variation inherent in "1/2 a red cabbage" and "a red onion", you could probably use a pint mug if it came to that.

Warren Sapp, former Raiders, Buccaneers defensive lineman
Warren Sapp, who was voted into the Hall of Fame this year, said he wasn't a bit surprised that Lewis had 44 tackles in the Ravens' first three playoff games after missing 11 weeks with a torn triceps. Sapp, who played 13 seasons in the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Oakland Raiders before becoming an NFL Network analyst, was a teammate of Lewis' at Miami. "He's a machine," Sapp said. "He loves it. I've known him since he's 17 years old, and I've never [known] a guy who loved contact the way he does." -- Peter Schmuck

Now its no excuse for how bad the Steelers played on Sunday or anything but its very frustrating to see these teams come out and play well and execute and play over their heads against the Steelers like Denver did and the Jets did, then come back the following weeks like both teams did and see both of them get blown out.

Lightning Drop to 0-3 At Traverse City
Submitted by pete on September 16, 2008 - 15:28
The Lightning fell to 0-3 at the Traverse City tournament this afternoon, dropping the matinee to the Rangers prospects 5-3.
The club fell behind 3-0 in the opening frame before Mitch Fadden scored an unassisted goal late in the second period, but the Rangers responded with two goals early in the Third Period to put the game out of reach for good. Kyle DeCoste scored an unassisted goal and captain Chris Lawrence added a late tally in garbage time from Luciano Aquino to make the final score slightly more respectable.
Goaltender Torrie Jung allowed 5 goals on 30 shots in the game, his first of the tournament. The Lightning outshot the Rangers prospects 37-30 in the losing effort.
Box score from Pointstreak.

Every year, we read about electricians, engineers, and supervisors who were seriously burned or killed while working in or near a circuit breaker (CB) compartment. I've personally investigated accidents where workers inadvertently contacted energized equipment inside a CB compartment, which initiated a tremendous arc flash that ignited their clothing and resulted in serious burn injuries. Some of the arc blasts extended 50 feet beyond the compartment and burned everything and everyone within that range.
An arc flash generates extreme heat (as high as 35,000°F) that can vaporize copper, aluminum, and steel. These flashes can also generate dangerous pressure and noise levels, and their magnitude of current can easily exceed 20,000A. I remember one incident in which an entire town was without electricity for several hours because four workers made a mistake inside a CB compartment that resulted in a powerful arc flash event. Although they were seriously injured and had to be evacuated by helicopter to local burn centers, they were lucky enough to live through the ordeal.
Most large (high-energy) circuit breakers (i.e., 480V to 13kV) are installed in metal compartments and can be racked-in, racked-out (Photo 1), racked to test position, and completely removed from the compartment. These CBs typically control high-energy equipment and are capable of containing an arc flash if operated and maintained properly. If performed improperly, however, racking-in or racking-out a CB can be a very dangerous task.
CBs can be racked-in horizontally or vertically. The racking mechanism usually activates a built-in shutter/barrier that exposes the ports in the CB compartment while the CB is "racked-in" and covers the ports while the CB is racked-out. You should always follow the manufacturer's instructions for racking-in, racking-out, or removing a CB from a compartment. Remember, working in a CB compartment with the unit completely removed can result in catastrophic consequences if approved safe work practices are not followed. So how do you protect yourself from the dangers associated with this type of work? By following a strict set of work procedures and safety practices.
Know your terms
Typical 3-phase CB compartments contain six ports. When the CB is removed from the compartment, you shouldn't have access to any of the ports because the shutter mechanism is designed to cover all of them (Photo 2). But how do you know which ports are bus, line, or load? I've worked in facilities that used a variety of terms to identify these ports, including "bus" and "line," "line" and "load," "bus" and "load," "upper" and "lower," and "front" and "rear." In some facilities, many CB ports have no identification at all. When faced with this situation, it's up to you to determine the meaning of these terms. When working in a CB compartment, you should adhere to the following requirements:
• Follow approved written procedures.
• Isolate the compartment from all sources of energy.
• Implement an approved lock-out/tag-out procedure.
• Use insulating barriers (Photo 3).
• Wear flame-resistant clothing, rubber insulating gloves with leather protectors, a face shield, and hearing protection.
• Always test before you touch.
Because complete isolation usually involves shutting down the entire bus section, many electricians, engineers, and supervisors chose to work in the CB compartment while the bus is energized, but this can have fatal results. The quick and easy way to conduct tests on the power distribution system components is to remove the CB from the compartment and take measurements through the appropriate ports. But how do you know which ports are the appropriate ones? Is it the "bus," "line," "load," "front," "rear," "upper," "lower," or unmarked port?
Keep in mind that it's not only the main power feed that can harm you. In addition to the primary power inside the CB compartment, the control circuit power and power that supplies compartment alarms, relays, and heaters could also injure or electrocute you.
As noted earlier, when you remove a CB from its compartment, the shutter/barrier mechanism covers all of the ports to prevent access to those that are still energized. The manufacturer had good reason for such a design. However, you've probably also learned how to expose the ports by operating the CB racking mechanism without installing the CB, which will expose six ports. Three are energized, and three are de-energized. Do you know with certainty which ports are de-energized? If you're working in a tie CB compartment, all six ports are energized.
As discussed earlier, if the ports are marked (many have no identification), you must first determine the meaning of the identification. Your life — and the lives of those in the vicinity of the compartment — are at risk if you make a mistake. If you wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), you markedly increase your chances of avoiding serious injury, even if you make a mistake.
If you know that three ports are energized and three are de-energized, you should use an appropriately rated voltage detector to check for the presence of voltage. It may be difficult to find a high-voltage detector that includes a probe that will make sufficient contact with the recessed conductive parts inside the ports of a CB compartment, but it may be possible to work with a manufacturer to develop a custom unit.
Once you have properly identified the de-energized ports, you must obtain a "safe" probe for your insulation tester or other test equipment to make contact with the de-energized conductive material that's inside the de-energized ports. Remember, if you inadvertently insert the probe into the energized ports, there's a high probability that you will be electrocuted or seriously burned.
Years ago, I investigated an incident where three workers were attempting to test a 4kV motor from a CB compartment. One worker contacted the energized ports with a probe while it was connected to a grounded insulation tester. Although the test leads were 16 AWG (relatively small conductors), they didn't open or isolate the fault current. Instead, as the test leads began to melt, the air ionized and the resultant arc flash ignited the clothing of all three workers, causing serious burn injuries and catastrophic equipment damage. The worker in the compartment was wearing insulating gloves and leather protectors on one hand. When I visited him in the burn center, the doctor indicated that he would lose the arm on the side that didn't have any PPE, while the gloved arm wasn't injured at all.
Some CB manufacturers offer ground and test devices that are designed to fit into the CB compartment after the CB is removed. When the ground and test device is fully racked-in, it basically extends the bus and line ports to the front of the CB compartment. These devices incorporate key interlock systems that help ensure proper operation. They contain shutters/barriers that expose the selected ports — when the correct keys are inserted and operated — and allow testing through the ports without entering the CB compartment. However, many of the hazards described above must still be recognized and controlled when using ground and test devices.
Playing it safe
In summary, if you must perform testing from inside a CB compartment, consider including these basic steps in your training program and written procedures:
• Communicate your intentions, and receive permission to perform the task from the authorized representative.
• Take appropriate steps to have the equipment shut down.
• Implement available approved procedures.
• Obtain necessary tools, test equipment, and PPE.
• Wear proper class rubber insulating gloves with leather protectors, appropriate face shield, hardhat, hearing protection, and flame-resistant clothing.
• Secure the area to prevent access by unauthorized personnel.
• Ensure the correct CB is "open."
• Remove the CB from the compartment.
• Install an insulating barrier to cover the energized ports.
• Expose the de-energized ports (Photo 4).

It was another scorching day in Aberdeen, MD back in July when Turner Motorsport was the presenting sponsor of BimmerFest East 2013. Fortunately, the weather gods decided to spare the crowded parking lots and vendor booths from last year's biblical downpour, making it a memorable event for all the right reasons.
We walked the rows of classic Roundel models, rare editions, and even vehicles driven from as far as Canada, not to mention a few high-mileage cars that shone like new. But it was the modified machinery that really caught our eye. There were tuned Bimmers wherever you turned, offering something for all tastes, from retro E30 and E36, to some sweet modified 2002s and lots of E46 and E92. Sadly, the latest F30 is still rather thin on the ground, with less on show than at Bimmerfest's West Coast event (EC 10/13), but we're sure to see numbers increase when the new 4 Series emerges later this year.
In the vendor area, the usual big names competed for attention, with Turner Motorsport arguably creating the best display. It was headlined by a row of Frozen Gray cars, including genuine factory M cars as well as vehicles like the vinyl-wrapped E46 M3 supercharged. It sat at one end of the booth, with Turner's Grand-Am racecar at the other end.
Auto Couture Motoring, Bimmerworld, Mode Carbon and Morr Wheels came out to show off their goods by displaying cars with quality work. Even BMW North America made an appearance with cars dressed in its M Performance parts.
At the end of the day, it was another superb Bimmerfest show for the East Coast crowd, with the Maryland event growing in stature each of its three short years.

As the tax filing deadlines approach, I get calls from clients wanting me to file an extension for them. It's easy to do electronically; set up a file and send. I don't need signatures. What I do need is to know about what the client is going to owe so that they can pre-pay that.
The IRS gives individuals an automatic 6 months to file a return. The due date for 2011 tax returns is October 15, 2012 Of course; you can always file the return before that. BUT! An extension is not a delay in paying. It just means you want more time to get all your info together to file a complete return. If you know you will be getting refunds, you really don't have to file an extension. The extension gives you protection against the failure to file penalty if you make a good faith effort to pay what you think you will owe. Underestimate your final tax and balance due too much and the IRS says they could add the failure to file penalty back. But if you send them too much now, you will get that back as a refund when you do file.
I just said that if you are getting a refund, you don't need to file an extension but you should if you want to protect the right to elect a special tax treatment. Many elections must be filed with a timely filed tax return and that could include extended returns. For example, a net operating loss is generally carried back to prior years (the number depends on the IRC at that time). But you can elect to just carry the loss forward. But the statement must be filed with the return by April 15th (17th this year) unless you file an extension on time. Then you keep the option available until the return is filed or October 15th.
What to do? If your return is done and you just can't pay the balance due, file the return. You can work out a payment arrangement. If you need more time to get all your paperwork together, estimate your taxes. If you're sure you're getting a refund, you don't need an extension unless you want to protect a special election. File an extension if you owe (or as a protection if the estimate is close) and send them what you think you will owe. You can always file the extension but not pay anything but you have to be prepared for a notice wanting interest and penalties for not pre-paying your tax.

On May 10, seven years after the Bureau of Land Management closed Recapture Canyon to motorized vehicles, the sound of engines once again echoed off the canyon walls. Approximately 54 motorized vehicles, mostly All-Terrain Vehicles, made their way past the BLM closure sign in protest to the 2007 emergency closure of the canyon to motorized vehicles.
The ride started at the north end of Recapture Canyon, near the dam for Recapture Reservoir, on a maintenance road for the reservoir's pipeline.
The road goes on for approximately one mile until the BLM closure sign, which marks the closure border, becomes visible. The maintenance road continues for another mile before it clearly ends and a more primitive trail begins.
At the BLM closure sign, the 54 vehicles continued down the maintenance road, led by a group including San Juan County Commissioner Phil Lyman.
After arriving at the end of the maintenance road, the group stopped for several minutes before 32 of the ATVs continued down the more primitive path. They rode through the north end of the canyon and came back into Blanding near the Browns Canyon road.
Some riders were confused as to the location of the official closure boundary line. At the rally preceding the ride, Commissioner Lyman stated that he did not plan to "cross the line" on the closed part of the trail.
Lyman did ride the one mile past the closure sign but not into the more primitive trail. Some riders assumed that the BLM's boundary line was where the maintenance road ended and the underdeveloped trail began.
BLM District Manager Lance Porter said that the BLM saw no ambiguity into the location of the closure boundary line.
"The boundary was clearly identified on maps, on the closure notice and at the sign," said Porter.
"The San Juan Water Conservency has a BLM right-of-way that allows for pipeline inspection and repair only," said Porter.
As a result, Porter said that any motorized vehicles beyond the sign were violating the closure order.
The 32 ATVs that continued down the primitive path ignored Lyman's request at the rally to not go down the trail.
Although he disagreed with their decisions, Lyman later said of those who went down the primitive trail, "I respect the feelings they have about the spirit of protest."
The remaining protestors, who did not continue down the trail, turned back and came out the same way they had come in.
Not all protestors rode off-highway vehicles down the trail. The path is open to hikers and those on horseback, and some chose to protest by riding horses or walking.
In addition, San Juan County Sheriff Rick Eldredge and his deputies were on horses alongside the trail. The Sheriff said that he was there to maintain the peace. He added that any citations or arrests would be by the BLM since it was the agency that closed the trail to motorized vehicles.
The protest did not reach conflict or violence in any way, which is what the Sheriff hoped for.
In addition to the protesters and law enforcement, a large number of media and other observers attended the ride.
The BLM later stated that they were monitoring the ride with plain-clothed officers.
Some had worried that the invitation to protest the federal government might bring in violent anti-government protesters and militia. These worries arose due to the BLM protesters that came to Bundy Ranch earlier in the year near Bunkerville, Nevada.
Ryan Bundy, son of Nevada ranch owner Cliven Bundy, attend the rally and ride and took his ATV into the canyon. Other, non-local, protesters joined him. Approximately one half of the protesters who entered the more p[rimitive portion of the trail were local residents.
Protesters that gathered to Blanding included those from Illinois, Nevada, Washington and Montana.
Noticeably absent are the protest were vocal environmental groups. Their lack of presence helped avoid conflict between the two groups.
The BLM did not confront the riders, but instead the BLM had workers stand off the trail and document the ATV riders. The workers were not in uniform.
In an official statement, BLM Utah State Director Juan Palma said "The BLM will pursue all available redress through the legal system to hold the lawbreakers accountable."
Of the protest Lyman said, "Overall, it was peaceful, no one was hurt. Hopefully it is productive."

It feels like I've been sooo close many times. For 9 years now I've been competing at U.S. Nationals with the hope of making a World Championship or Olympic team. I've had my good years and not so good years, top 3 finishes a couple of times without having the standard to actually go to World's, and a trip to the World Championships as part of a relay pool. But this will be my first time on the team in an individual event and when I tell you that I am thrilled beyond words, I am only just scratching the surface of the exhilaration I am experiencing. It is not just the opportunity to go to Berlin, although that in and of itself is a huge honor and accomplishment, it is the personal journey that has brought me to this particular point of triumph, and the ability to look back on everything that brought me to this point and know that none of it was in vain.
I believe that my story is one of perseverance. I'd love to tell you that there was never a moment when the doubt and uncertainty got to me, but we all know that would be a BIG FAT LIE, seeing as how my struggles and disappointments are thoroughly documented right here on this blog! But I found the strength and the determination to not give up just yet and listen to my heart. I know that much of that encouragement came from you guys…my close friends and family who always stand behind me and support me, as well as all the rest of the people I've met along my journey who somehow found a reason to believe in me, to cheer for me, and who continue to have confidence in a person they don't even know personally. That's huge to me. There have been many times when I read your words and realize that the faith you have in me is the faith I need to have in myself.
The competition on Sunday probably deserves a post of it's own for anybody who is even interested in knowing how it all unfolded. But for now I just wanted to make sure I let everyone know that I appreciate the thoughts and prayers and right now I'm one very happy girl. I am pretty sure there will be nobody at the airport that thinks I am mean today because the smile on my face isn't going anywhere!

PITTSBURGH (AP) -The Pittsburgh Penguins don't expect to go much longer with minimal output from stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. For now, they're getting by with goals from players whose scoring for a season sometimes doesn't match a week of Crosby's.
Pascal Dupuis scored on a slap shot from along the edge of the left circle with 10.8 seconds left in overtime and the Penguins kept the Philadelphia Flyers winless, giving up a two-goal lead in less than a minute before winning 3-2 Tuesday night.
Dupuis, skating along the boards, took Brooks Orpik's pass, hesitated for a moment as he debated whether to pass to a trailing Sidney Crosby, then let go of a hard shot that beat goalie Antero Niittymaki to the glove side.
"I brought it back with my foot and it almost got stuck there on me (in the soft ice), but I closed my eyes and shot it and it went in," Dupuis said.
Niittymaki was surprised the 45-foot shot went in, given the bad angle and the fast-deteriorating ice conditions on a day the high temperature in Pittsburgh was close to 80.
"His angle wasn't that good, and I pretty much thought it would go wide or hit me," said Niittymaki, who made 25 saves in his first start. "Maybe I was in little bit of a wrong place, the positioning wasn't perfect, but it was a pretty good shot."
The Flyers, despite getting goals from Jeff Carter and Simon Gagne in the final minute of the second period, have dropped their first three games for the first time since the labor dispute-shortened 1995 season.
"That's not the place we want to be, that's not the start we want, but we saw some great stuff tonight," said Gagne, who has scored in all three games after missing 57 games with concussion-like problems last season. "It's not like we played bad three games in a row. But it's a rough league now, and those two points are hard to get."
Pittsburgh didn't get a goal from former MVP Crosby for the fourth consecutive game, yet avoided its first three-game losing streak since losing four in a row last November.
Between them, Crosby, the 2006-07 scoring champion, and Malkin, last year's runner-up, have only one goal as the Penguins have gone 2-1-1.
"That's what makes winning teams, everybody chipping in at different times. It's a matter of time before their all their effort becomes goals," Dupuis said. "I'm not worried about that. It's nice to see other guys putting it in."
Orpik and faceoff specialist Mike Zigomanis also scored for the Penguins, who lost 2-1 to the Devils in overtime on Saturday night on a Zach Parise goal that was similar to Dupuis' game-winner.
Marc-Andre Fleury made 28 saves for Pittsburgh, giving him 75 in two games.
After 35 minutes without any scoring, the Flyers and Penguins each got two goals in less than a minute to make it 2-2 in their first matchup since Pittsburgh's 6-0 victory in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals last spring.
Tyler Kennedy's faceoff win set up Kris Letang's pass to Orpik at the left point and the defenseman's first career power-play goal in 301 games, and only his fifth career goal. Orpik is playing the point because of injuries to defensemen Sergei Gonchar and Ryan Whitney.
"We're getting contributions from our defense, and that's a great sign," Crosby said.
After Orpik scored at 14:12, Zigomanis got his first goal since Oct. 30, 2007, when he was with Phoenix, by putting checking line teammate Matt Cooke's pass from behind the net past Niittymaki from the lower right circle at 14:54.
Fleury, coming off a 47-save game against the Devils, kept Philadelphia scoreless until a 21-second span later in the period.
Carter was attempting to pass across the crease when the puck was deflected, apparently by defenseman Hal Gill, past Fleury for Carter's second. Gagne scored his third at 19:37 by redirecting Kimmo Timonen's shot from above the circles, after Daniel Briere won a faceoff with Crosby.
"But it's still only one point," Flyers captain Mike Richards said. "Good teams find a way to win. We're still looking for two points."
Notes: Philadelphia hasn't scored in the first period yet this season. … Philadelphia (0-2-1) already trails the Atlantic Division-leading Rangers by nine points. … The Flyers, second in the league on the power play last season, went 0-for-6 and are 2-for-19 overall. … Malkin hit the right post twice in the second period.

Kane etcJP asked the same question as I had. When we (the GMB) were discussing this label (the round one) another time, I wondered if it was the precursor of the Promovetro label, with the letters standing in for the current numbers. However, there doesn't seem to a very broad range of letter combinations. This isn't a label that either Pina or Heiremanns (in Themes and Variations) show as being Seguso. On the other hand, we know that Seguso made bottles for Drioli.It will be interesting to hear what you think when you've handled the piece.David

For the first time in about eight years, the Rhode Island Airport Corporation (RIAC) is getting back into the business of sound insulating residents within high noise contours around runways.
The work, which can include the installation of central air conditioning, window and door replacement and insulation, is projected to start this June and continue until 2017, when an estimated 564 housing units will have been sound insulated. The first of four phases targets 120 residences within the 65 DNL [average 65 decibel day/night level].
Those homeowners were invited to attend a workshop last night, but because of the snowstorm, the meeting has been rescheduled for Jan. 29 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Buttonwoods Community Center. Homeowners were notified of their eligibility for the voluntary program and of the meeting by letter.
"This meeting will not be the only chance [to learn about the noise mitigation program]," RIAC President and CEO Kelly Fredericks promised Tuesday. Fredericks said the intent of the program is to provide a "better and quieter home environment." He said he can understand why people may be skeptical about insulating their homes, but he is confident when they have the full explanation of the program they'll want to participate.
Sound insulating near the airport is hardly new. Since the program started in the late '80s, about 1,200 housing units have been insulated. The program was designed to be ongoing until all the affected units were treated, however funding was concentrated in the voluntary acquisition program for homes within the 70 DNL noise contour.
This time, said Brian Schattle, RIAC senior vice president of finance, a projected $55 million to $57 million will be spent on insulation and acquisitions. He put the noise portion of the package at $30 million. Funding, he said, would come from various federal grants and 10 to 20 percent of costs being picked up by RIAC.
This does not include the cost of properties acquired because of an extension of Runway 5-23. The runway is Green's longest and is to be extended from 7,100 to 8,700 feet. That project is slated for completion by December of 2017.
"I look at this as a 'good news' story," Fredericks said of the soundproofing.
The work also promises to be good for local contractors. In previous years, RIAC awarded a single contract for sound insulation. This time, explained Dan Porter, RIAC vice president for aviation planning, they will be advertising for bids on two contracts of 60 houses each.
Generally, the work takes about 10 days to complete. Contractors, he said, would concentrate in neighborhoods, working on multiple houses at the same time. Work was done over the summer on about a dozen homes that served as a pilot for the program.
Just because a housing unit is within the 65 DNL contour does not mean it is eligible for the program. Porter said eligibility also depends on interior noise. Those readings will be taken with meters during airplane operations, to arrive at an average interior day/night noise level. If interior noise level is 45 decibels or more, the unit is eligible.
Lockwood condominiums, the former Lockwood School on West Shore Road, will need to be measured, for instance.
"We'll have to see whether they qualify on not," Porter said.
Are they going to knock the houses down a year later like the did to the homes in the Winslow area? Waste of money.
