Testimonials (2)
Submitted by: Dustin Smoot on Jan 15, 2010Dave was great, Very helpfull and we got a great pup out of it. He was very helpful after the purchase as well with any questions I had. I would highly recommend Valley Gate Labradors. It would be a pleasure to business with them again. I cant wait till hunting season...
Submitted by: Jim Heath on Dec 08, 2009We could not be more pleased with Newt, he has really been a fun addition to the family. He has a HUGE heart, will do anything to please, and is an absolute gentleman to be around. I get a lot of compliments on his looks, he really is a unique colored, looking Labrador.
He is still a pup, only being a year old, but when we do go to the field, he is all business. Obviously, it is going to take him some time to become great, but he really "acts" like he knows what he is doing : ). I trained him to the commands (he is VERY obedient) . . . And then, Abby, my 4 years old Black Lab has taken him under her wing to show him the ropes in the field. Newt and Abby are best of "buds", and sometimes I question if Newts loyalty would be with me or her if it came down to it!!!
Anyhow, we couldn't be happier . . . He is a cherished member of our family, and we have thoroughly enjoyed him since he came to live with us.
If you ever have a potential buyer curious about past pups, do not hesitate to send their questions our way . . We absolutely love our pup : ) !
Dave Jones, the owner of Valley Gate Labradors was outstanding to work with. He sent regular updates about pup to us (including pictures), made arrangements for transport of pup to us, and was very knowledgeable of the breed and what is best for the dogs.
It was a very pleasant interaction through the entire process, and we could not be happier . . . plus in the end, we received an outstanding animal!

The video for "Trouble On My Mind" by Pusha T featuring Tyler, The Creator dropped today. There has been talk about how unlikely their collaboration seems but obviously, especially after viewing the video, it's hip-hop gold. To us the Pusha T and Tyler, Creator link up doesn't really seem that unlikely to us, so this sparked us to reminisce about past collaborations that surprised the music industry. After looking at these songs, "Trouble On My Mind" doesn't seem so odd. Here's our list of unlikely collaborations.

Jay Levine
Now that North Shore voters have turned down Tuesday's referendum on $174 million in renovations to New Trier Township High School, some people are bound to blame Jay Levine. Ever since WBBM-Channel 2's chief correspondent delivered a controversial report about the issue last week, he's come under fire for his attitude -- if not his facts.
Levine's report was no straightforward news story. In keeping with his latest persona on the CBS-owned station as a cocky advocate for the little guy (a role created and once played to perfection by Walter Jacobson), Levine is being encouraged by his bosses to embellish the facts with his opinion. But unlike Jacobson, whose commentaries were always labeled "Walter's Perspective," Levine's editorializing carries no such disclaimer.
Even before his report on New Trier aired, it was clear the intent was to provoke an emotional reaction. In teasing the piece hours earlier, Levine's producer, Ed Marshall, tweeted: "Top high school in US fears falling behind. New Trier faces backlash for $200M taj mahal plan. Bad timing award? Jay Levine at 10p on cbs2."
If labeling it a "Taj Mahal plan" weren't enough of a signal, Channel 2 abandoned any pretense of objectivity when 10 p.m. news anchor Rob Johnson introduced Levine's piece with these words:

Tony Kurtz, of Prairie du Chien, has announced that he has filed to run as a Republican in Wisconsin's 3rd Congressional District, which runs across western Wisconsin. Kurtz said he is motivated to run due to the incumbent Representative Ron Kind's (D, La Crosse) inability to address job creation, quality health care, a balanced budget, and deficit reduction.
"I am running for a few simple reasons. For the past few years, like so many others, I believe that our federal government has not been working for the people of western Wisconsin. Too many special interest groups have soured our political process and have made our federal government, for lack of a better term, dysfunctional," Kurtz stated. "This is not targeted at a specific party. Both parties have caused this tone in Washington to deteriorate to such a point that our nation stands still, waiting for the next political shoe to drop. Frankly, I am tired of these games and am ready to get some work done."
Six air-handling units were crane-set on the rooftops of Prairie du Chien's new health care center a little more than one week ago. The largest weighed around 27,000 pounds and measured 50 feet by 20 feet. The units were custom-fabricated and delivered from Michigan. They will provide an economical way of heating, cooling and humidifying the facility. Also, by being on the rooftops, they will not take up square footage inside the facility. (Provided photos)
In quite the impressive site, one of the air-handling units for the hospital was loaded onto a crane recently so it could be set on the rooftop of the facility.
The back of the new health care center shows varying heights and depths, which add to the appeal of the design. The Medical Office Building, where the professional office space of the hospital will be located, is shown encapsulated in plastic on the north end of the facility.
By Correne Martin
The new, state-of-the-art hospital in Prairie du Chien will be quite the statement piece when it's completed around late February of 2015. The local workforce behind the $50 million construction effort has been a strong part of creating that eventual statement—an attractive and modern health care center that will significantly transform the visual landscape and the resources of the community.
General contractor Market & Johnson, and its subcontractors—many of which are locally established or hire local labor—have made it through the hard winter in stride with the project schedule.
Near Picatee Creek Road on Friday afternoon, a truck drives over one of the bridges that will be repaired on Highway 35 from Prairie du Chien to Lynxville this summer. The bridgework is needed because of damage caused by flash flooding last year. The project began on Monday, April 7. The highway will be one lane at the project sites. The Wisconsin DOT is doing the project.
Spring road
projects ahead
By Ted Pennekamp
In addition to the Marquette Road project in the city of Prairie du Chien, there will be various other road projects in Crawford County this spring.
Bernice Theresa Schaefers, 79, of Monona, Iowa died Thursday, April 3, at the Great River Care Center, McGregor, Iowa.
She was born on April 15, 1934 to Casper and Mary (Lucher) Schaefers in Clayton, Iowa. Bernice was baptized and confirmed at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Garnavillo. She attended St. Joseph Catholic School in Garnavillo, Iowa.
Reed F. Lestina, 70, of Muscoda and formerly of Prairie du Chien passed away unexpectedly Friday, April 4, at the Richland Hospital in Richland Center.
He was born March 10, 1944 in Giard, Iowa, the son of Floyd and Alma (Cunningham) Lestina. He married Carol "Sue" Cejka in Monona, Iowa in 1976 and she preceded him in death in 2007. Reed worked as a logger and was an avid fisherman. He enjoyed his CB Radio where he was known as the "Iowa Bullfrog."
Jim E. Teynor, 40, of Wauzeka, died suddenly Tuesday, April 1, at the Prairie du Chien Memorial Hospital.
He was born June 20, 1973 in La Crosse, the son of Clarence and Janice (Furr) Teynor. Jim was currently working as a correctional officer for the Prairie du Chien Correctional Institute. He loved horses and Harleys, and was an avid hunter. He was always the life of the party and was described by friends and family as being truly happy.
Who will take the Prairie du Chien Common Council seat in the first aldermanic district remains to be seen, according to the April 1 election results reported late Tuesday night. Write-ins Ron Leys and Mark Oehler received two votes apiece in the first ward.
According to rule, the eligible person who receives the highest number of write-in votes in a vacant district is declared the winner after the Board of Canvassers meets and confirms the election. If that person declines the position, the vacancy goes to the common council to be filled.
However, that rule hasn't exactly given city officials a clear-cut answer on how to proceed. Prairie du Chien City Clerk Barb Elvert conferred with the Government Accountability Board Wednesday morning for clarification on the city's next step.

A pile of equipment and noticeable construction gear sits in the main room of the Prairie du Chien Armory. Some of the major points of the renovation are upgrading the building's boiler system from steam to water, improving the electrical system and installing air conditioning.
For the first time since the National Guard Armory was built at 601 N. Marquette Rd., in Prairie du Chien, in 1956, a major renovation has begun inside the facility. The Department of Military Affairs is funding the $1.5 million project, which started in late 2013. The 229th Engineer Company is anticipating the construction at its readiness center to be complete by this summer.
"Aesthetically, it will look much different," said Chad Smethurst, 229th horizontal construction engineer. "It will give us the ability to work in a more professional environment."
A majority of the project's costs will involve updating the boiler system from steam to water, improving the electrical system and installing air conditioning. The heating and electrical systems at the Armory were 20 to 30 years old, failing and costly to operate, according to the Department of Military Affairs.

I have a basic mead going that is over three months old. I want to make it into a sparkling mead. How much longer should i wait before i keg or bottle? should i keg or bottle it? I do have an extra keg so that wouldn't be a problem.
Once its ready ?
Stable gravity readings across a week. Back sweetened ? Chemical stabilising ?
Finings for clearing ?
Etc etc.
All or none of the above. You could just keg it as you have the kit......
But what about ageing/mellowing ?
"What the large print giveth, the small print taketh away". Tom Waits.Oh, and here's some blog stuff!
Its clearing well but I could add some finnings I suppose. I would think that if I am going to keg it, I can just bulk condition it in the carboy for another 6 months and then add finnings cold crash and keg. Or add them now Keg and let it condition in the keg (would take up less space in my fermentation chamber this way).
Otherwise I would want to add the finnings now and bottle now so that the yeast would still be active enough to carbonate the bottles?
I don't think I will back sweeten, its going to be a dry mead for sure.

Kansas City Star Report Exposes Dangers of Beef
A yearlong investigation by the newspaper reveals the dangers of industrialized beef processing and its detrimental health hazards to consumers.
In an expansive, yearlong report published online, The Kansas City Star reveals concerning facts about beef processing and health, including the overuse of antibiotics, big beef, and diet. Some of the more alarming information includes hundreds of instances of fecal contamination spanning two years, including a federal inspector at Tyson finding "a piece of trimmed fat approximately 14 inches long with feces the length of it." In addition, the news outlet reveals only four companies produce more than 87 percent of packaged beef and roughly 90 percent of cattle at large operations are fed beta-blockers to make them grow faster, despite the risks they pose to human health. The newspaper also uncovers the fact that 30 percent of the $71 million land grant colleges in beef-producing states spent on beef-centric research was donated by beef-manufacturing corporations.

TV Special Lifts Rod Stewart's U.K. Sales
By Andre Paine
Rod Stewart's new J/Sony Music Entertainment set "Soulbook" is heading back to the top 10 in the U.K. following strong ratings for his TV special on ITV1.
According to J/Sony Music, mid-week sales have increased 95% on the previous week and the album, released Nov. 9, is in the mid-week top 10 albums chart. The "One Night Only" TV special on Dec. 5 peaked at over 7 million viewers, with an average audience of 5.4 million and a 25% audience share.
Its U.K. sale for the whole of last week was 44,600 according to the Official Charts Co, also an increase on the previous week of 32%, although it fell 14-16 reflecting higher seasonal sales. The total U.K. shipment for "Soulbook" is now over 250,000, according to the label.
"Soulbook" is Stewart's seventh top 10 album in the U.K. in the past 10 years; he has scored 27 top 10 U.K. albums in his lengthy career.
The album is No. 39 on the new Billboard 200 and peaked at No. 4. All of his J Records releases in the U.S. - his last six studio albums - have entered the top 5 in the Billboard 200. "Soulbook" is his 12th top five album in the U.S. and Stewart's label says his career total sales for albums and singles top 250 million worldwide.
Stewart's 2010 U.K. tour has been expanded from its initial seven dates to 16 shows including appearances at the O2 Arena in London.

Q:Will this fit a 11.5 yr oldAsked on 12/21/2014 by Obtom from Dover ar
6 answers
A:Well that depends...
My 11 year old grandson fits in it just fine but his head is fairly wide for his age but not as deep front to back as an average 11 year old. These helmets have a rapid fit tensioning system that works like a champ. I highly recommend them. These are great for growing kids and the price is right. I suggest you give it a shot.Answered on 12/21/2014 by Anonymous
A:The helmet is designed to fit folks with a head circumference of 20.86"-24.4". Measure the person's head circumference to see if it will work.Answered on 12/21/2014 by Clyde from NRS
A:Not unless he or she has a very big head. I'm a grown woman and I couldn't wear it. Bowl is way too deep and it came down around my ears and the bridge of my nose. Definitely NOT a one-size-fits-most. I sent it back!Answered on 12/21/2014 by Anonymous
A:It depends on the size of his head, but I doubt it. I have a small head
and this helmet doesn't fit me comfortably, so unless he/she has a large
head for their age, I would try something else with sizes.Answered on 12/21/2014 by Anonymous

Q:What is the recommended method for cleaning this helmet and the foam without hurting the adhesive? Thanks.Asked on 7/11/2014 by Alexis from East Liverpool, Ohio

A:Hello: I have not cleaned my helmet except just letting clear water rinse it off after a river trip. This helmet pretty much saved my life when our 18 ft raft flipped in lava falls on the GC and we had a very long swim . When we finally got to shore there was some large gashes in the plastic that would of proved to be gnarly wounds had I not been wearing it.
As I always say, no matter what.. protect the cranium, because if it goes... no more river trips. See ya on the river. Good luck.
PS: this helmet is a great value...cheers
A:I honestly don't know the approved method. I use fresh cold water only most
times and just let it air dry. The only soap I've used is dawn and that's
only been once or twice since I've owned the helmet.

Q:I have a fairly large head, I wear a size 7 5/8 hat. Will this helmet adjust big enough for my head? How much does this helmet weigh? I'll be using it for packrafting and will be carrying it in my backpack so I'm looking for a lightweight helmet.Asked on 5/8/2014 by Jeff from Utah
4 answers
A:Jeff, the helmet is super light, at least compared to my Bern helmet.
Think bicycle helmet weight. My head is 7 1/4 and its got a lot of room
to get bigger, so I think the adjustable size will work for you.Answered on 5/10/2014 by Anonymous
A:Jeff, the Havoc fits up to a 24.4" circumference head. A 7 5/8 hat has a circumference of 23.8", so it will fit you. It weighs 0.95 pounds. Have fun.Answered on 5/8/2014 by Clyde from NRS

BobAsked on 3/17/2014 by Sponge Bob from Columbus, Ohio
2 answers
A:I'm sorry, but the Havoc has the largest fit range of any of our helmets. I'm not aware of a watersports helmet that fits larger size heads. Please check with some of our dealers in you area to see if they carry a helmet that will work for you - http://www.nrs.com/services/dealerlocator.aspAnswered on 3/17/2014 by Clyde from NRS
A:The xl was too small for me as well. Unfortunately I had to go with a Gath
Gedi Convertible helmet, they go up to a xxxl helmet but it's much pricer.
They are the only ones I've found they go larger than xl.

Q:Can I use this for bicycle riding? Does it meet or exceed CPSC standards?Asked on 5/21/2013 by Brent from Michigan
4 answers
I do not know the laws with respect to biking, but the helmet is probably a bit heavy for bike riding.Answered on 5/22/2013 by Anonymous
A:I would not recommend it, even if it did meet the standards. Bike helmets are vented differently to provide much greater airflow to the head, which gets very hot with strenuous riding. A whitewater helmet will not provide adequate cooling.
Matthew Staker
A:Brent, we can't recommend it. Helmets for different sports are tested differently. Boating helmets are certified under CE EN 1385, a different standard from bike helmets. This article has some further thoughts on the matter - http://www.nrsweb.com/boating_tips/boatingHelmets.aspAnswered on 5/22/2013 by Clyde from NRS
A:I don't know about CPSc standards, but If it can protect your noggin from
rocks in the water...I'm sure this helmet is safe for occasional bike
riding. If you're a serious bike rider though, I would
recommend investing in a bike helmet. They are much lighter and better
ventilated for riding

I bought 2 of these great helmets for my girlfriend and myself. We were taking a Class III/IV paddling trip down the "Lower Yough" in Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania. The helmet gave us an instant feeling of security upon donning the unit. The inner padding was substantial with all around head coverage. The construction is superior to a lot of different helmets that I have looked to purchase. The style of the helmet is pretty sweet as well! My girl friend was thrown into the water and said that she was thankful that I purchased the helmet because she collided with a rock and the helmet did its job! (side note: I would have been afraid to go into the drink with the helmets that the 'outfitter' provided). Also, there are ventilation/water evac ports in several places but the helmet can still become a bit sweaty (but that can also be attributed to your level of physical exertion). Overall it is great helmet that I would highly recommend.

I use this helmet when I am making heavy surf entries and exits. The Dial Fit system works very well and adjusts with ease. The chin strap is comfortable and secures without being restrictive. However, the adhesive used to glue the two forehead helmet pads to the inside of the helmet quickly failed. This happened by the third time I wore the helmet. The pads are gradually working their way down the inside of the helmet. If it wasn't for the glue issue - the helmet would get five stars.

Comments about NRS Havoc Livery Helmet:
Here's the thing. I've worn a lot of one-size-fits-all helmets on commercial trips and in kayaking classes, and I could always make them fit. I could not make this fit, no way no how. If I adjusted it tight enough to not slip down over my ears and almost to the bridge of my nose, then it would be so tight it would give an instant headache. The bowl of the helmet is way, way too deep. I don't even have a particularly small head.

10-day regatta for selection of team gets under way at Rushikonda
A 10-day regatta for selection of team for Asian Games sailing competition organised by the Yachting Association of India got under way on Sunday.
The regatta at Rushikonda beach for selection of the team for the Asian Games, scheduled to be held in S. Korea from September 20 to October 4, will witness participation by more than 130 sailors in 14 different classes of boats. Over 30 additional members, comprising international judges, race officers and measurers invited by the YAI, will ensure smooth conduct and fair selection. The Selection Regatta is being organised under the aegis of the Headquarters, Eastern Naval Command of the Indian Navy, which is providing the requisite administrative support for managing the racing area and also for providing rescue support.
The selections are being held at the Rushikonda beach as the very testing conditions, wind shifts and strong current in the race area here are akin to those likely to be faced by the national team at Inchon, S. Korea, which is to be the venue for the competition. The event, being conducted on a trapezoid race course, will be witnessed by Chief National Coach Peter David Conway and members of the selection committee of the YAI. The participating teams include those from Army Yachting Node, Chennai Sailing Academy and the Indian Naval Watermanship Training Centre (INWTC) and the practice for the regatta commenced a month ago.
Formally constituted on May 15, 1960 and registered on December 22, 1964 at Calcutta, West Bengal, the YAI is affiliated to the International Sailing Federation (ISAF), which is recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as the governing authority for sailing worldwide.

San Diego (AP) - Marines and sailors will be subject to random blood-alcohol tests twice a year in what is billed as the toughest anti-drinking policy in the U.S. military.
Starting Jan. 1, any Marine or sailor with a blood-alcohol level of 0.01 percent or higher may be referred for counseling. Anyone who tests at 0.04 percent or higher will be referred to medical personnel to determine fitness for duty.
In all 50 states and the District of Columbia, a driver with a 0.08 percent blood-alcohol is considered drunk. A single drink can lead to a level of 0.01 percent.
The Marine Corps policy is primarily aimed at deterrence and education, but nothing precludes commanders from handing out punishments, Lt. Gen. R.E. Milstead Jr., deputy commandant for manpower and reserve affairs, said in a Dec. 12 directive.
The Corps is the first among the Army, Air Force and Navy to begin random mandatory testing of all personnel, according to The Washington Times, which reported on the new policy last week. The Army leaves test decisions up to a commander and prohibits a blood alcohol content of 0.05 percent or higher. The Air Force also instructs commanders to order alcohol tests when appropriate but has no compulsory program.
The Navy will introduce mandatory tests in January, Lt. Caroline Hutcheson, a Navy spokeswoman, said Monday.
A study in September by the Institute of Medicine, sponsored by the Department of Defense, found that binge drinking, often called "sport drinking," is increasing among military personnel in all branches, according to the Los Angeles Times.
In 1998, 35 percent of personnel admitted to binge drinking in the previous year. In 2008, the last year for which statistics were available, that figure had risen to 47percent. Twenty percent of personnel classified themselves as "heavy" drinkers.
Noting that "alcohol has long been part of military culture," the study's authors called for better leadership from the top of the chain of command in curbing excess drinking. Among the recommendations was "routine screening for excessive alcohol consumption."
In fiscal 2011, the last year for which statistics are available, the Marine Corps reported 13 alcohol-related deaths among Marines in this country and abroad, the Times reported. Included were Marines killed by vehicle and motorcycle crashes, one from falling 17 stories from a building, one from attempting to run across a freeway near Camp Pendleton and several that occurred during binge drinking when the Marine passed out and could not be revived.
Under the Marine order, monthly reports about the results of the alcohol screening program will be kept by each Marine unit, and quarterly reports will be submitted to Marine Corps headquarters.

CONCRETE: HARD FACTS. DURABLE STRUCTURES -Part I. Dr Sirion Robertson Concrete is fascinating stuff. The Romans used it at least 500 years before the time of Christ, and they were probably not the only ones or the earliest ones. Although concrete technology has advanced a little since those remote days, it is still used in modern building projects - from foundations for giant telescope mountings, to nuclear power stations, to sky-scrapers in Manhattan and Tokyo, to garage and patio floors, roads and railway sleepers, shore protectors against wave action, dam walls, and settings for the poles of washing lines and chicken runs. Concrete is also used very successfully in boat building. The weight of a well- made concrete boat compares favourably with that of a wooden boat of the same capacity. The fundamental chemistry is much the same in all cases, although the concrete itself may be modified in a variety of ways to adapt its properties to an enormous diversity of modern requirements. This is the first of a two-part article, written specially for SCIENCE IN AFRICA. In the first part we deal with important generalities about concrete, and in the second we will discuss some of the chemistry of concrete, and "technical" or specialised aspects, including reinforcement, and various additives for special purposes. Modern concrete, very much like its earliest form used by our remote ancestors, is a mixture of cement, or a cement-like substance, with sand, stones and water. The water is added to the dry components to initiate the chemical changes leading to hardening, after which the strength and durability of the material is comparable to some of the hardest rocks. But, unlike the ages-long geochemical processes involved in rock formation, concrete can be mixed in a few minutes, and will approach its final hardness within a few weeks - or even a few hours if certain chemical "accelerators" are added during the mixing stage. The "heart" of concrete is of course the cement - the substance that, with water, does the chemical work, and binds the sand and stones into an astonishingly strong, composite material. We'll revisit the subject of cement, and "cement-like substances" in Part Two of this article. The sand and stones are referred to as "aggregate": stones are the "coarse aggregate" and sand the "fine aggregate". The stones are usually between about 10 and 20mm in size. Though less important than the quantity of cement involved, the sizes and proportions of the aggregate components are amongst the factors that determine the final properties of the concrete. Both types of aggregate should include particles with widely-varying sizes. (The difference, incidentally, between "mortar" and concrete is that mortar has only fine aggregate. Nothing larger than about 5mm particle size.) An interesting variety of concrete is sometimes referred to as "cyclopean concrete", which is made by adding massive rocks to ordinary concrete. The rocks form a sort of "super coarse aggregate". This is generally used for the walls of large dams and other massive structures where enormous volumes of concrete are required. Proportions and strengths In determining the proportions of sand and stone, the main considerations are physical rather than chemical. The spaces between the stones (often refered to as the "void volume") should be completely filled by the volume of sand. And the small spaces between the sand grains in turn should be filled by the very much smaller particles of the cement. Because the cement, when mixed with water, undergoes the chemical process of changing into a rock-hard, rigid substance, the amounts of cement and water present in the mixture are the main determinants of final strength. The cement, sand and added water make up a "paste", the volume of which should be slightly more than the void volume of the coarse aggregate. Typically, the volume of coarse aggregate (including its void volume) represents about 70-80% of the volume of concrete finally produced. (One of my less intelligent mistakes, in early work with concrete, was to assume, unthinkingly, that the final volume of concrete would be roughly equal to the sum of coarse and fine aggregates. This resulted in major under-production, and prompted me to approach the subject a little more rationally.) Strictly, the proportion of cement in a mix should be specified by mass. This is because the actual quantity is more reliably specified by mass than by volume. The same is true of sand and stone, but variations in the quantities of these components are less important, and it's more convenient and more common to measure the sand and stone by volume. (In terms of the principle involved, the argument about mass, as the better measure of quantity, applies also to the water, because of temperature-related changes of volume. But the effect here is far too small to have any practical consequence, and quantities of water, like quantities of aggregate, are conventionally specified in litres, or in any other convenient unit of volume.) For ordinary garden work with concrete, and other trivial building projects, where the final strength need not be accurately known and isn't particularly important, the quanties of all components are usually measured by volume - commonly 1:2:3 or 1:3:3. For more important projects the proportions are expressed on a mass:volume:volume basis: kg cement to volume of sand to volume of stone. For "general purpose concrete", local cement manufacturers recommend 100kg of cement (two standard bags) to three-and-a-half wheelbarrows of sand and three-and-a-half wheelbarrows of stone. (A standard builder's wheelbarrow has a capacity of about 40 litres.) Translating this into an all-volume ratio, using the fact that cement is about 1.4 times heavier than water, it works out to about 1:2:2. Another common way of expressing the composition of concrete, which closely reflects its potential strength, is to specify the mass of cement in the final volume of concrete. This may vary between about 200 kg and 550kg per cubic metre. (The mix we've just mentioned is about 285kg/cubic metre.) Cement is the most expensive component of concrete, so there is often a tendency to economise by reducing the cement to a very small proportion. In important building projects the proportions of the components are very carefully specified and controlled, and samples of the hardened concrete are tested to ensure that its stength is appropriate to the job. In addition to the proportions of cement to aggregate, there is a close and important relationship between the amount of water used in the mix, and the final strength of the concrete. A sloppy, runny mix produces weak concrete. Usually the volume of water is about the same as the volume of cement in the mix. The problem with making too dry a mix is that it isn't easy to work with, and is likely to have cavities in it when hardened. This of course will greatly reduce its strength. The "runniness" or stiffness of the newly-mixed concrete (the best word here is plasticity) is expressed by a "slump" value. A cone-shaped, metal container of standard dimensions, open at both ends, is stood base-down on a solid surface and carefully packed with a sample of the freshly-mixed concrete. The container is then lifted off the conical mound of wet concrete. The more runny it is, the more will it collapse into a low-profile "glob". The slump is found by measuring the loss of height of the conical pile of concrete after it has "sagged". Normal slump values are about 7 to 9 cm. The height of the cone itself is about 30 cm. When "throwing" or "placing" concrete - that is, when introducing it into foundation trenches or moulds for setting - it's important to ensure that it occupies all the volume intended for it. "Voids" - the term given to gaps or cavities in the concrete - can seriously impair the finished structure. The concrete must be tamped or rammed down into its bed with a spade or rod. On large projects mechanical vibrators of various sorts are used to help consolidate the wet, newly-thrown concrete and eliminate voids. "Curing" As concrete sets, the water in the mixture enters into a chemical reaction with the cement, and new chemical substances are formed. Although the concrete "dries", in the sense that no liquid water remains, the water is still there, as a very important part of its structure. This is different from the drying of mud, for example, in which the water simply evaporates and leaves the remaining solid material, without having changed it chemically. For this reason we talk of "curing" (or "setting") of concrete rather than "drying". In fact it's very important to keep concrete wet during the early stages of curing. This is normally done by spraying it regularly for the first week or so, and keeping it covered with sacks, leaves or any other convenient materials. The chemical process involved in curing is called "hydration" (which simply means combining with water), and keeping plenty of water on the surface ensures that the concrete doesn't lose water by evaporation. If water is lost from the wet concrete in this way there may be insufficient to allow the hydration process to go to completion, and the result will be reduced final strength. Another, related reason for keeping it wet while curing is that there is always some contraction of the concrete volume as it cures. This can lead to small cracks forming. Contraction, and crack-formation, are minimised if plenty of surface water is present. (Because it is only the cement and water that enter into chemical reaction, mixes with high concentrations of cement tend to contract more than do weaker mixtures.) In addition to drying by evaporation to the air, wet concrete may lose water to its surroundings - such as dry ground, when poured into trench foundations. To guard against this, the earth, and any other porous structures that will come into contact with the concrete should be thoroughly sprayed with water before the concrete is placed. While setting, the concrete gains hardness and srength, as the process of hydration slowly permeates the entire body of material, and new chemical bonds extend their fingers throughout the structure. Curing should be allowed to progress for several days before subjecting the new concrete to significant stress. The rate of curing depends on the temperature (as the rates of all chemical reactions are dependent on temperature), and for this reason the "safe curing time" is less in hot weather than in cold, and generally less in tropical climates than in higher latitudes. In the same way that curing concrete should be prevented from drying, it should also be protected from extreme cold. If you have an option, it's better to work with concrete in warm, humid weather than in cold, windy, dry weather. Trying to get advice from experts on safe curing times for concrete can be frustrating. An authoritative (British) textbook on building science says that trench foundations, for example, should be left for a week before wall-building begins. Having read this, I asked the Rhodes University Architect whether he agreed with it. Perhaps not a week, he said, but a minimum of three days, certainly. A little later I asked a local building contractor whether he left trench foundations for three days before building on them. Perhaps not as long as that, he answered, but 24 hours, certainly. You must leave them for 24 hours. But in the event it didn't happen like that. I subsequently gave him a small building contract: I wanted my garage extended. His men finished throwing a trench foundation for the new wall at 5 one afternoon. At 7 the next morning - 14 hours later - they arrived to start building. They weren't especially pleased when I told them to go away and come back at a later date, but in view of what the contractor himself had told me I felt justified. So views on acceptable curing times vary quite widely - and actual building practises vary more widely still. The problem, of course, is that leaving concrete for extended curing times - however desirable it may be - can involve expensive delays. "Time is money". In the same way that builders - amateur or professional - may be tempted to use too little cement in their concrete mixes, so too they may be tempted to allow insufficient time for adequate curing of new concrete. In some cases, where speed is essential, but standards of strength cannot be compromised, chemical additives are used to accelerate the process of curing. We'll say more about them in the second part of this article. Where practical (such as in the manufacture of concrete bricks) the curing may be accelerated simply by raising the temperature. An interesting rate-temperature relationship, well-known to biologists, but with far wider applications than biology alone, is the so-called "Q10" value. This is the proportion by which the rate of a chemical reaction is raised by an increase in temperature of 10 degrees on the Celsius scale. In many cases - including the rates of enzyme-catalysed reactions in living cells - the Qten value is very close to 2. In other words, the rate doubles for every 10 degrees increase in temperature. So, applying this to concrete, if adequate curing is achieved in six days at 20 degrees, you could reduce this to three days if the temperature were kept at 30 degrees. (Remembering, in relation to this, that the curing time recommended in Britain is about a week for trench foundation concrete, this might very well be equivalent to about three days in the warmer South African conditions.) In the concrete industry, fully-cured blocks are produced at a very high rate by subjecting them to temperatures of about 200 degrees Celsius, in a water-saturated environment to prevent drying. The process is exactly the same as pressure-cooking food, and in these conditions adequate curing is achieved in a few hours. As we've said, the chemically active component of concrete is the cement, and this is where the strength comes from. The word "cement" refers, in its widest sense, to anything that holds materials together. Glues are "cements". The particular type of cement used in concrete, and nearly all building work, is called "hydraulic cement" because water is required for the chemical reactions that lead to hardening. There are several types of hydraulic cement, but the most important and commonly-used is "portland cement", so-called because its colour, when set, resembles that of a type of stone found on the Isle of Portland, in the English Channel. Portland cement is made by crushing, heating, and crushing again a mixture of rocks and soil- like substances, the main ones being types of limestone, chalk and clay. These are complex substances, in the sense that they contain several chemical elements in various combinations. The most important actual chemicals are calcium, silica, aluminium, iron and oxygen. The purpose of the first crushing and grinding is to bring the chemicals into sufficiently close proximity to enable them to react with each other. Heating, to about 1 500 degrees C, provides the necessary energy for these reactions to occur, and new compounds are formed. The final grinding again produces an extremely fine powder and close proximity of potentially reactive substances. When water is added, new compounds are formed, some contraction in volume occurs, heat is given off, and the individual cement particles fuse into a continuous "matrix" which locks the sand and stone components into a hard, rigid mass. Although modern cements are made in factories under carefully controlled conditions, there are also so-called "natural cements" in many areas of the world. It was these "natural cements" that our forebears used in Rome, Greece and elsewhere. The most common are mixtures of limestone and clays. They are prepared by burning and then crushing into powdered form. Attaining strength - and measuring it The graph to the right shows increasing strength of a sample of concrete as a function of curing time. Notice that strengthening is quite rapid at first: the strength after one week is more than half that attained at the end of four weeks. Also, although the graph doesn't continue beyond 28 days, the shape of the curve makes it quite clear that strength continues to increase well beyond a month. Indeed tests show that, under favourable conditions, concrete is still "maturing" after 18 months! ("Favourable" here means under warm and humid conditions.) The strength unit on the graph is MegaPascals. The Pascal is the basic unit of pressure, and pressure is defined as force per unit area. The details on the graph were obtained empirically - in other words, from experiments. In this case the experiment involves using a hydraulic press to crush specimen cubes of the Concrete, and measuring the pressure at which the cube breaks. The test we've shown in the graph is for "compressive strength". Another sort of test is for "tensile strength". You can best visualise this by imagining a vertical rod of concrete, with a mass suspended from it. Here the force tends to pull the substance apart, rather than crushing the components closer together. As we increase the hanging mass, the rod will eventually break, and the force that finally breaks it will be a measure of the material's tensile strength. The main "Achilles heel" of concrete is its relatively low tensile strength: only about one tenth of its compressive strength. This has important implications for concrete as a mass-bearing structure. Any horizontal beam, supported at both ends, will tend to sag under its own weight. With additional loading it will eventually break. Notice the image to the right, that there are both compressive and tensile stresses acting in the beam. The tensile force acts along the lower part, where the beam tends to stretch. And if tensile strength is less than compressive strength, this is where it will eventually break. Because of their low tensile strength, concrete beams and slabs aren't good at carrying heavy loads unless they're "helped". Reinforced concrete: Steel to the rescue Incorporating steel into concrete produces a composite building material sometimes called "ferrocrete". (It is this material, or the related "ferrocement" that is used for boat-building.) In spite of the fact that concrete has been used since the earliest civilisations, ferrocrete dates from as recently as the mid-nineteenth century. With the great increase in strength that it gives, its effect on architectural styles and potentialities has been enormous. Steel is the ideal material to embed in concrete as a strengthening agent, mainly for three reasons. Firstly, steel has extremely high tensile strength; secondly, by a fortunate coincidence, the extent to which steel and concrete change their dimensions in response to temperature change (that is, their coefficients of expansion) are very similar. Thus even with very great temperature changes, the concrete and the embedded steel more or less keep pace with each other in their responses, and no severe stresses are set up by one material "trying" to change its length more than the other. The third thing that makes steel so appropriate is that - perhaps surprisingly - its elasticity is less than that of concrete. When a concrete beam or slab bends (See the image above), the material on the outer part of the curve stretches. Due to its elasticity, a small amount of stretching can safely occur without breaking the concrete, and it is this very small amount of bending that puts the steel rods under tension - the concrete "tries" to stretch them. The fact that steel has a very much smaller tendency to stretch, under a given force, allows it to come to the rescue and prevent any further deformation of the concrete member. (The tendency of concrete to contract slightly while curing is in one way an advantage. This "shrinkage" causes the concrete to grip very tightly onto the steel. As a precaution, to ensure that the concrete-steel interface doesn't break down under load, the steel members are usually bent in various ways to give even more effective bonding.) From the foregoing you can see that it's extremely important where, in the concrete beam or slab, the steel reinforcing rods are placed. To put the steel near the top of the beam in Figure 2 would be a complete waste. The resulting structure would be no stronger than competely unreinforced concrete. Where would you place the reinforcing rods in the beam shown in the image to the left. The amount, type and positioning of steel in reinforced concrete is calculated very carefully by structural engineers, taking into account the relative tensile strengths and elasticities of the two materials, so that the resulting structure will carry any loads that might be placed on it - with a good safety margin. The size of the "safety margin" built into the design depends on what the engineers see as a "worst case scenario". The main weakness of steel, as a structural material, is its tendency to corrode. Concrete, on the other hand, is highly resistant to corrosion, and therefore makes an excellent shield for the embedded steel. It's important that no steel members come closer than about 5cm from the surface of the concrete, and that the concrete itself is of low permeability. If cracks or incorrect building procedures do allow the reinforcing steel to corrode, it slowly expands and may eventually cause parts of the surrounding concrete surface layers to break off. The condition is known as "spalling". It's clearly a progressive and potentially dangerous situation, and requires careful attention. A Final Miscellany: Accelerating; Retarding; Air entrainment; Colouring. We've covered what are certainly the most important and perhaps the most interesting aspects of concrete technology. Here are some closing remarks on other aspects of this extraordinarily versatile medium. Accelerating of the curing process is achieved either by raising the temperature, as we've discussed, or by adding substances during the mixing. Calcium chloride or sodium chloride are the most commonly-used accelerators. It's inappropriate for large quantities which must be processed at a single session, because hardening shouldn't begin while work is still in progress. The final strength of rapidly-cured concrete is usually a little less than equivalent mixes which haven't been accelerated. Retarding is achieved by adding calcium sulphate, sodium bicarbonate, or various other organic compounds. Air-entrainment is important because this type of concrete, in addition to being somewhat lighter, is considerably more resistant to damage by very low temperatures. Regular freezing and thawing of concrete can lead to severe deterioration. The air-entrained variety is also a very much better insulator against temperature change. Air entrainment is achieved by mixing in, with the cement, a compound that react with the cement and water to produce small bubbles. Animal fats, or various fatty acids are amongst the substances used to cause bubble formation. Colouring is done by mixing one or more of several coloured oxides into the newly-mixed concrete. This adds quite significantly to the cost of the project, and where appropriate it is more common to "float" the pigment onto the surface of the wet concrete immediately after placing, so that only the top few millimetres are pigmented. The colouring is more effective if the concrete is made with a white or nearly-white variety of cement instead of the ordinary grey stuff. This too adds substantially to the cost. Concluding remarks Concrete remains one of the most commonly-used, durable and versatile structural materials: a direct descendant of the stone age, that has kept pace with our most modern and pressing needs. There is good reason to believe that if life exists elsewhere in the cosmos, it is based on carbon compounds. For similarly fundamental reasons we may assume that advanced life- forms elsewhere would have discovered, and used, cement-like substances - including concrete. As we said: fascinating stuff.

Effect Of Consumer Decision Processes On Customer Relationship Activities
Free registration required
Executive Summary
This paper examines types of customer purchase decisions as they relate to customer relationship activities. Included in this discussion is the manner in which customer relationship activities relate to a typology of consumer decision making. In this typology, consumer decisions are classified as limited, moderate, or extended problem solving. This classification system is based on both market and consumer characteristics. Depending on how the product is viewed by the target market, the customer relationship activities will vary. This typology should prove most useful for the analysis of marketing strategies for firms engaged in consumer marketing.
