Under the Dome: "Manhunt"
- Matthew McConaughey Rises Out of Romantic Comedy Hell with True Detective - February 5, 2014
- Comics-to-Film: THE DARK KNIGHT - January 30, 2014
- STAR WARS Says Goodbye to Dark Horse, Hello to Marvel - January 4, 2014
Under the Dome is sinking like a stone.
That is my unfortunate feeling looking back at its third episode. "Manhunt" begins with a mob surrounding the Chester's Mill police station. At the end of last week, in a state of hysteria Deputy Paul Randolph shot at the dome. His bullet ricocheted off and killed another officer. A group of angry townsfolk are waiting for him as he's being hauled in by Deputy Linda Esquivel. After Big Jim calms and disperses the mob, Linda puts Paul in a cell. But he pretends to be sick (isn't that the oldest trick in the police handbook), knocks Linda down and locks her inside. After grabbing a few guns, Paul is off, traversing through the woods. Big Jim finds Linda and wants to head a manhunt to stop Paul. He enlists Barbie and two other townsfolk for the manhunt, heavily arming themselves and heading out under the dome.
While the manhunt continues, life goes on for the Chester's Mill residents. Joe McAlister, the brother of Angie who's chained up in Junior's bomb shelter, is enjoying the benefits of being an eligible teenager in a parentless home. In an event only created by nerdy writers, Norrie, the young teenager who, trying to get away from her own parents, asks to not only use Joe's generator but to stay in his home overnight. I feel terrible for all the skinny, geeky boys out there watching this scene as it's an urban myth. When I was that age watching Revenge of the Nerds, Sixteen Candles and Can't Buy Me Love, I too thought a beautiful young girl would somehow effortlessly find her way into my home. Not that I would have known what to do, but she'd be there nonetheless. Unfortunately for me but fortunate for this mythological young lady, it never happened.
As the manhunt continues, Big Jim's posse finds Paul. A gunfight ensues, with Paul, Big Jim and Barbie all drawing their guns in a standoff. The only shot fired comes from behind and drops Paul. It's Linda. Not only did she end the manhunt, she silenced her biggest critic: Big Jim. He questioned her ability to take leadership after she was locked in the cell by Paul. That thought is now gone as Big Jim makes her Sheriff.
So, what was dragging "Manhunt" down? Mainly, it was the plot which crawled along at a snail's pace. I don't mind taking time to get to know characters but there has to be something enticing me to stay interested. The pace might be more like real life, but that's one reason we watch TV – to get out of our hum-drum lives and be entertained. The dome itself is a great mystery but hasn't been explored yet. I assume it will be revealed, but in the meantime, there's something definitely lacking. That could be averted with some clues about the great dome-sized mystery above. I need something and soon. Luckily, I didn't have to wait until next week.
In "Manhunt," the most intrigue came with five minutes remaining in the episode. One of Norrie's moms finds her at Joe's house. As Norrie leaves, she touches Joe's hand and both go into a seizure, falling to the ground repeating in unison, "Pink stars are falling." Now that's interesting! In a previous episode, both had a seizure but they weren't together. Clearly, Joe and Norrie are connected in some strange way. This is a good sign. I'm intrigued albeit with minutes to spare in "Manhunt." Beggars can't be choosers; it's right what where I want to be, more invested in all the happenings under the dome.

sail-world.com -- Nautor's Swan - Positive start in the first quarter
Nautor's Swan - Positive start in the first quarter
Fri, 17 May 2013
The year 2013 got off to a positive start for Finnish luxury yacht builder, Nautor's Swan.
The company, led by Chairman Leonardo Ferragamo and Executive Vice President Roger Talermo, is well positoned to leverage recent restructuring and investments made for the future including the appointment of Kjell Vesto to the key role of Operations Director.
Sales in the first quarter of 2013 included a Swan 90S and Swan 80FD to North American clients, followed by last month's sale of a Swan 60 in Asia. The first Swan ever sold in China, this sale marks an important milestone for both Nautor's Swan and the new owner who is expected to both cruise and race his Swan 60 in Hainan.
Other sales in Asia include two Swan 53s to buyers in India and the Philippines. These recent successes are indicative of Nautor's investment in the region and the growing demand for luxury yachts in Asia.
Luca Lucheschi, Commercial Director at Nautor's Swan commented: 'The owner of this new Swan 60 is a sailor who has achieved his dream of owning a Swan. Looking forward to the rest of the year, in Asia and specifically in China, we have a few promising negotiations ongoing. We are cautious, but optimistic about the Asian market's interest in our new models, particularly the Swan 105 and Swan 114.'
2013 looks set to be an exciting and prosperous year for the company, with continued focus on the North American and Asian markets where the demand for beautifully designed and built yachts is clear.

The MT Army Regional Message Board
NationStates Moderators:
"Here's the rundown: one of the thou-shalt-not-refound regions got refounded. That one got cleared correctly. By that time the moderator involved was a bit trigger-happy and considered The MT Army's WFE as gloaty and so nuked that region too. However, on review, it looks more or less par for Gameplay's course and therefore we've reversed the clearing."
Finally the mods reply to me personally, funny...well sad really, that I had to find out this information from enemies and allies before I was given the official word...
Upon logging into one of my museum keeper nations I found this message:
NationStates Moderators (4 days ago)
"Reichssicherheitshauptamt has been emptied. You and others cannot reestablish the region. If you do, there will be steep penalty."
I have received no telegram (that I have found yet) regarding WaffenSS, but since it was deleted we can safely assume that the same issue applies.
A day ago I sent a request to the moderation team in which I summarized the following:
"How were we to know that the two aforementioned regions were out of bounds. Both regions had their full WFE and RMB in tact (I made copies for the refounding information).
These regions simply CTE because La Pash could no longer log into the founder nations due to their removal from NationStates. There were no warnings on these regions what so ever.
Other regions such as "The Red Fleet" are clearly marked as DO NOT REFOUND, why was this not done in the aforementioned regions to avoid this situation?
It is clear that someone on the moderator team had made a mistake, no ones perfect and its understandable. I am glad that my region was recreated after the mistake was noticed. What is not understandable is how none of our nations were placed back into the region and why the password and WA delegacy control were not returned to their former status...
This resulted in the moderators unfairly opening The MT Army to unwarranted invasion. I do not blame the Nazis for coming in here and having a go, and I am not even annoyed that they did so, I would expect that from them (I would probably do the same in their position). What I cannot fathom is why the moderators left us open and then allowed the invasion, after they realized they made a mistake....
This event has been completely unfair to us and has ruined the fairness of the game for me personally."
I have yet to receive a reply from the moderators, I really hope that they are continuing to come up with an answer and have simply not tossed the issue aside, as this opens up a new cup of worms with regard to abuse of moderation powers with the potential for unfair changes (no justification) that affect the outcome of user created battles.
I will not shy away from saying that this issue could easily force me to leave NationStates. What is the point of playing a game in which your hard work can be manipulated by those who are supposed to fairly regulate.
This is in typical fashion of how the Mod's deal with things lately. No consistency, accountability and a lot of covering each others backs...
Post self-deleted by William joseph blazkowicz.
Prolesky's puppet.
Thanks Vip for inviting in. You can share Antifa's regional password to your comrades as you see best. :)
We will continue struggle no matter what. You and comrades-in-arms set the example over 10 years ago and you're still here and still continuing in the action.
How I see strategic situation now what comes to seized fascist/nazi regions. All efforts for stabilization and inter-organisational co-ordination must be done, so that similar situations what happened after Comrade La Pasionaria's deletion cannot happen again.
Moderation's actions with The MT Army were Condemnable and they have no balls to apologize what happened publicly. That's sad. I hope this would change. They're humans like us all and mistakes happen but some kind of logic in their actions would be desirable... For every NationStates Player.
There will be soon organisational re-arrangements what comes to region Antifa.
And so dear reader, we come to the end of another chapter in the long history in the struggle against the forces of fascism, appeasement and apathy here in NS.
And so, on to the next chapter...
Which rather succinctly states, "Don't shoot your bolt til you've got something to shoot off about."
Oh f#@k off grasshopper. Basically, we about to get medieval...
It is with a heavy heart that I post this message, officially announcing my departure from NationStates.
There are a couple of reasons behind making this personally difficult decision, with the unjust deletion of La Pasionaria and my recent spat with the moderation team after they unfairly deleted The MT Army, being the catalyst. I have made several posts regarding the issue in the posts above.
These events have taken the fun and my love of NationStates away from me. It is difficult to accept playing a game in which all of our hard work can be undone so easily without justification (both Antifa and fascist organizations have been affected). This is especially so when there is nothing you can do about it, as the ones with the power have abilities we simply cannot counter.
Playing NationStates has brought me a lot of joy over the past 11 years and it has been an honor fighting alongside people of whom I consider true hero's of Anti-Fascism: Anti Nazi Alliance, Genesis Defense Project, Shadow Warriors, The Red Fleet and Antifa to name a few of the best :)
For those Antifascists who will continue to play NationStates, I would love for nothing more than unity, friendship and love between all of you!
Unity, love, compassion and respect are our strengths, without these we cannot achieve the great things we are destined too.
I wish you the best of luck for all future battles.
Know in your heart that you are fighting the good fight; what more noble way to play NationStates than fighting against those who promote hate and intolerance. No one deserves to be treated as a lesser person except those who believe they are superior.
I would like to echo my past sentiments: page=rmb/postid=3337068
I am handing over the leadership and control of The MT Army to The MT Army General of Gi-Krycek. One who usually hides from the lime light, a true veteran of The MT Army, with us from day one, dedicated and loyal he has always been my most trusted and I think of him as a brother :)
Please note that under the leadership of Gi-Krycek, The MT Army will remain as a retired organization. If you wish for The MT Army to participate on any Anti-Fascist actions please send a request to Gi-Krycek.
To our current retired/volunteer soldiers; The Phederation of Phuture Musick, Golden hind, Blunt speakers, Spartan warrior, The Fascist Beating Stick of Crownguard, The NS addicts of Nicer potlimitomaha please follow Gi-Kryceks lead, he will not steer you wrong. All of you and any past soldiers of The MT Army are always welcome to frequent this region between your Antifascist actions.
Over 270 MT Army victory museums/protected regions will be handed to the most trusted friends in Antifa, to do with as they see fit.
I wish everyone a lovely holiday period, cherish your time with family/friends, stay safe and take care of yourself :)
Declaration of Gratitude and Solidarity from The Internationale
The Comrade Members of The Internationale,
Deeply disturbed by the deletion and puppet sweep of Comrade La Pasionaria, Martyr of The Red Fleet and Camarada de Siempre of The Internationale, by the NationStates Moderators,
Reaffirming the position of The Internationale as active participants in anti-fascist action,
Fully aware of the possibility of losing the World Assembly Delegate seat in The Internationale to right-wing forces and the damage this would cause to the community of The Internationale and leftist regions across NationStates,
Noting with appreciation that comrades from Argentina, the Democratic Socialist Assembly, the Communist Party of NationStates, Eurasia, Lazarus, the MT Army, North Korea, the Social Liberal Union, and The Red Fleet rallied to the defense of The Internationale,
Convinced that the defense of The Internationale would not have been as successful without this broad interregional and inter-organizational support by our leftist allies,
Seeking to build positive relationships and networks across a broad coalition of leftist and left-wing nations and regions,
1. Expresses its deep gratitude to the comrades from Argentina, the Democratic Socialist Assembly, the Communist Party of NationStates, Eurasia, Lazarus, the MT Army, North Korea, the Social Liberal Union, and The Red Fleet who came to the defense of The Internationale;
2. Affirms a spirit of undying comradeship and solidarity between The Internationale and the regions and organizations listed above;
3. Authorizes the creation of a decoration to be awarded to the comrades, regions, and organizations which supported the defense of The Internationale;
4. Invites representatives from the regions and organizations listed above to participate in a leftist interregional council to voice opinions and concerns and to discuss matters of politics, which will strengthen the unity and highlight the diversity of the NationStates Left; and
5. Proposes the establishment of embassies or other diplomatic missions between The Internationale and the regions or organizations listed above where they do not already exist.
Passed by the Comrade Members of The Internationale, January 1, 2014.
-10 minutes ago: The MT Army Guardian of JJ Kale rejected Reichssicherheitshauptamt's request for regional embassies.
-10 hours ago: The Republic of The ssss of the region Reichssicherheitshauptamt proposed constructing embassies."
Trolls be trolling, impersonating The MT Army with the aim of getting us in trouble no doubt. Shoo fly don't bother me.
In other news
Transfer of The MT Army's 273 museum's against hate to the Antifa collectivist is complete.
I thank my trusted family, friends, allies and comrades at Antifa from the bottom of my heart.
In three days time The MT Army General of Gi-Krycek will be taking command of The MT Army and all requests must go through him.
Veni, vidi, vici :)

Don't call it a big data degree; Berkeley launches first online info science master's
- Lauren Hepler
- Economic Development Reporter- Silicon Valley Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn | Google+
Big Data may be a major Silicon Valley buzzword at the moment, but don't expect a new online data science master's degree program at the University of California, Berkeley to get too caught up in the fad.
Starting in January 2014, Berkeley's School of Information, or I School, will offer the country's first fully online Master of Information and Data Science (MIDS) degree program, the university announced Wednesday. While students will learn the mechanics to analyze millions of rows of data, courses will also cover other elements of data visualization, machine learning, database analysis and data security.
"We all realize that the term 'Big Data' has lost whatever meaning we thought it had," Coye Cheshire, associate dean and an associate professor at the Berkeley I School, told me. "We focus on the term 'data science'…rather than the size of the data."
The new one-year program will cost $60,000 and be facilitated by Maryland-based online education provider 2U, though terms of the agreement with the company were not disclosed.
Potential students also shouldn't expect big online classes in the style of Silicon Valley Massive Open Online Course providers like Coursera and Udacity.
Rather, students will participate in live, face-to-face online classes capped at 15-20 students, then watch online lectures and complete additional assignments. The program will also include a week-long "collaborative immersion week," where students will meet faculty and potential employers on the Berkeley campus, Cheshire said.
"Ultimately we'll have lots of different (class) sections," Cheshire explained, adding that the school does not have a target enrollment number for the first class in 2014. "It's really important to focus on having a classroom size where people are able to interact."

The word is everywhere: The
New York Times
that "these victories should give him momentum going the primaries on Tuesday in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C." Talking Points Memo
called Maine
"another sizable victory in a state that was supposed to act as a check on his momentum after yesterday's trio of landslide wins." The Associated Press said Clinton was now looking to "put a brake on Barack Obama's momentum."
How quickly they forget.
After the CW-busting reversals of New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina, and Feb. 5 itself,
everyone is now talking about shmoshmentum (I can't in good conscience say the actual word) as if the last month never happened. I expected the press to declare a moratorium on that sort of language after New Hampshire. No such luck.
Obama's weekend victories were significant, no doubt. He was slated to win in almost all of the contests, but he won them by wide margins: 68 to 31 percent in Washington, 68 to 32 in Nebraska, and
59 to 41 percent in Maine
. That he won so decisively in states with huge white populations is also important, given the narrative that he has trouble attracting lower- and middle-income white voters.
But his wins don't justify mental relapse among analysts who have seen their assumptions (Obama is dead, Hillary is dead, Obama is dead again) explode repeatedly during this cycle.
has lost its meaning, if it had any to begin with. Normally, it means that one candidate takes enough of a lead that voters think supporting another candidate would be throwing away their vote. But both Clinton and Obama have proven themselves viable. A Hillary supporter won't think Hillary is suddenly doomed just because Obama wins a few contests in a row, and vice versa. Sure, some voters may consciously or unconsciously support whomever they've seen win most recently. But previous primaries have shown that most voters don't think this way and that to assume they do makes an ass out of you, me, and the entire media establishment.
Expect the shmoshmentum frenzy to build if Obama takes Maryland, Virginia, and D.C., especially if they are landslide victories. Wins in Hawaii and Wisconsin the following week will work
into a lather. If that happens, he will have won 10 contests in a row—no small feat. But even then, to talk about shmoshmentum is to discount the upcoming behemoths—Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania—which vote in March and April. Those three states alone command 577 delegates—nearly as many as all 10 post-Super Tuesday states Obama will likely have won (595). After February, Hillary could close in on Obama's lead and more.
So, when you hear people speak of shmoshmentum, close your ears. It's no more meaningful than it was last month.

Furniture designer Marnie Moyle created this original generous hand carved oak swing to have good longevity and an honesty to this spirited natural material, English oak.
Marnie's work has a timeless feel with a 21st century approach to country furniture. This unseasoned, unpolished english oak and hand crafted swing is expected to move, contort and silver. It is refreshingly unrefined yet crafted and with design and craftsmanship the devil is in the detail; well-chosen timber, crafted rope make this simple work a lasting heirloom.
They can be made to order (see my Personalised English Oak Swing), but in stock is the choice of the hand carved, purposely imperfect (wobbly) words of:
just think lovely thoughts and they lift you up in the air
scuse me while i kiss the sky
away with the fairies

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A judge has awarded nearly $80 million to the family of a New Mexico woman who died in 2002 when a tractor-trailer struck her car and buried it in sand, suffocating the woman as teachers and students at a nearby school frantically tried to dig her out.
Laura Miera of Albuquerque had just dropped off her 14-year-old daughter at Jimmy Carter Middle School and was waiting at a traffic light when the semi exited Interstate 40 and came barreling toward her.
The Albuquerque Redi-Mix truck pushed her car to the curb, it rolled, and Miera was trapped as the semi's open load of sand poured on top of her.
Teachers, students and others on their way to the school tried to dig out the 48-year-old woman by hand. One counselor tried to comfort Miera as the car filled with sand.
"It was devastating," said Jacob Vigil, the attorney who has represented Miera's family in their 10-year legal fight. "The school counselor was holding her hand, praying while the sand just rose above her head, and the counselor just kept saying 'Squeeze my hand if you can hear me.' She squeezed for a while until she died."
According to the lawsuit, the semi involved in the crash had an expired registration, three brakes out of adjustment, and a driver with two DWI charges before he was hired by Albuquerque Redi-Mix.
Vigil said Tuesday the judgment offers no consolation: What he and the family hope is that their case will lead to tougher regulations and real consequences for trucking companies that are cited or fined for unsafe operations.
"This is a chronic problem across the country," Vigil said. "There are thousands and thousands of trucking deaths every year. It's 25, 50 tons of moving metal at highway speed. They're dangerous."

Los Angeles clinic offers care for Mayas
Los Angeles Times, April 2, 2008
For eight years, a Los Angeles clinic has reached out to Mayas and sought the trust of a community that has generally been reluctant to seek Western medical treatment. Some of the issues the clinic encounters with Guatemalan patients are commonly dealt with by doctors and nurses in California working with indigenous populations from Mexico and other parts of Latin America. Healthcare providers must realize that patients may come to a hospital or a clinic but are also seeking medical guidance from community elders and taking herbal medicines, experts say.

TV Lawyers
There is something about courtroom drama (and comedy) that has been entertaining fans since the early days of television. From Perry Mason (played by Raymond Burr) in the 1960s to latter day courtroom shows like L.A. Law, Matlock and Ally McBeal, lawyers are television characters we love to love and, often, love to hate. Here are some of the actors who have played famous legal eagles on TV.

The Septuagint, a Greek translation of the most significant Hebrew scriptures, completed by 100 BC at the latest, chose to translate 'elohim as αγγελους (that is, 'angels') in Psalm 8.5 (actually verse number 8.6 in the LXX). In the second half of the first century, the author of Hebrews cites the Septuagint translation exactly, reiterating the opinion that ...
When Ezekiel was written
The book of Ezekiel consists of thirteen sections, each dated by the number of years since 'the exile of Jehoiachin' (597 BC), beginning in the fifth year. The total span of time for Ezekiel's recorded prophecies was about twenty-two years (c. 592-570).

Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org.

Five Triangle newspapers to shut down
- Thompson Wall
- News Intern- Triangle Business Journal
Five small-town weekly newspapers in the Triangle – the Apex Herald, the Holly Springs Sun, Garner News, the Cleveland Post and the Fuquay-Varina Independent – will close their doors effective Aug. 1.
The closings were confirmed in a news release issued by Civitas Media, the newspapers' owner based in Davidson, near Charlotte.
"Our core business is focused on developing community news and information portals, in areas that are predominately rural and would not be served well otherwise," said Michael Bush, Civitas CEO, in a news release. "The suburban newspaper isn't a fit in this business model. We have offered employment in the Civitas Media organization to the 12 employees who are being affected by this decision."
Civitas Media was created in 2012, when three media groups were combined into one by Philadelphia-based Versa Capital Management. At that time, Civitas in a news release stated that it employed 1,650 people at 99 locations in 12 states in the mid-Atlantic and southeastern regions. At that time, it published 35 daily newspapers and 63 weekly publications.
The company has 15 North Carolina newspapers, including the Sampson Independent; the Laurinburg Exchange; the Robesonian in Lumberton; Mount Airy News; and the Daily Journal in Rockingham.
Civitas executives hinted at company-wide operational streamlining last year, according to the Wall Street Journal. At the time, Bush said the company had no plans to cut any of its daily publications.
Civitas is also closing four newspapers in the Dayton, Ohio area.

US 6939513 B2 Abstract A flexible elastomer closure plug mat presents a plurality of protruding hollow septa closure plugs depending from the mat's lower face. The mat and protruding closure plugs are preferably formed of silicone rubber, with a thick layer of polytetrafluoroethylene or TEFLON� durably bonded to the lower face of the mat and to the outer faces of all of the arrayed plurality of closure plugs. The arrayed plurality of closure plugs are dimensioned for telescoping insertion into the open tops of a corresponding plurality of sample vials held in a well plate, and for frictional engagement therein.
Claims(6) 1. A flexible elastomer closure plug mat for standard arrays of open topped sample vials held in a standard array of rows and columns of a first plurality of wells formed in a standard well plate for use in autosampling chromatography equipment, comprising
a flexible elastomer sheet having a top face and a bottom face,
a corresponding second plurality of septa closure plugs depending from said bottom face, shaped as hollow convex cylindrical protuberances each provided with a reversely tapered sidewall having its smallest outside diameter at its proximal upper end and having its largest outside diameter at its distal lower end, and a floor having a lower outer surface and spanning and integrally joined to the distal end of each sidewall,
the upper proximal end of each sidewall being integrally joined to said flexible elastomer sheet,
and a unitary layer of elastomer inert to fluids and substances contained in fluids in said sample vials with a thickness between about 0.003 inches and about 0.007 inches durably and integrally bonded to the bottom face of said sheet, and to the outer surface of each protuberance floor and sidewall, forming a substantially uniform continuous layer of inert elastomer on the exposed underside surfaces of said elastomer sheet and of all said depending protuberances' floors and sidewalls overlying said open topped vials during use,
whereby said flexible mat can be flexed to present one closure plug for insertion in a corresponding open topped vial, and progressively unflexed to bring successive neighboring closure plugs into alignment for insertion in their corresponding vials until all vials in the array have received closure plugs inserted therein and retained by resilient traction in said vials, while assuring that said continuous layer of inert elastomer protects the open topped vials' interiors and contents from contamination.

Description This application is a continuation-in-part of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/496,371 filed Feb. 2, 2000 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,455,005 for which priority is claimed under 35 U.S.C. �120. This invention relates to flexible closure plug mats presenting arrayed pluralities of septa closure plugs for convenient insertion in the open upper ends of corresponding arrayed pluralities of sample vials mounted in well plates for use in chromatography equipment. More particularly, this invention avoids contamination of liquid samples by employing an assembly of a flexible silicone elastomer body having anchored to its underside a relatively thick Teflon� layer presented to the sample vials' contents. Autosampling chromatography equipment marketed by Hewlett-Packard, Perkin-Elmer, Merck/Hitachi and other manufacturers accommodates standard sizes of well plates, such as the 96-vial well plate carrying twelve rows of eight vials each, illustrated in the FIGURES. The wells of these well plates are sized to receive thin-walled glass vials, 5 mm or 6 mm in diameter, for example, to be loaded by pipettes with liquid samples to be analyzed. Once loaded, closure plugs or septa are inserted and secured by crimped metal rims, by screw caps, or by elastomer friction. Closure plugs may be of polyethylene, natural rubber or silicone rubber. Inert outer coatings of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE or �TEFLON��) have been proposed, sprayed or dusted on the surface of such elastomer plugs to minimize contamination of liquid samples in vials, but such sprayed PTFE coatings can be scraped off or degraded during opening and closing operations, and their performance has been unreliable and unpredictable. It has now been discovered that a thick layer 21 of Teflon�, at least about 0.100 mm or 0.004 inches in thickness, durably bonded at 30 to the lower face of the elastomer septa closure plug mat 22, to be exposed to liquid samples and solvents loaded into the glass vials 23, forms a highly dependable closure system for the entire array of sample vials, minimizing or eliminating contamination of all samples. A principal object of the invention is therefore to produce elastomer septa closure plug mats 22 for multiple arrays of sample vials 23 mounted in a well plate 24 in standard arrays, eliminating contamination of vial sample contents. Another object of the invention is to provide such closure plug mats 22 of durably bonded dual layer construction, presenting a permanent inert surface facing the sample contents of the arrayed vials 23. Other objects of the invention will in part be obvious and will in part appear hereinafter. The invention accordingly comprises the features of construction, combinations of elements, and arrangements of parts which will be exemplified in the constructions hereinafter set forth, and the scope of the invention will be indicated in the claims. For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which: As best seen in In the closure plugs of both The closure plug mats 22 of this invention are preferably formed of an elastomer such as silicone rubber, molded as a flexible elastomer sheet between about 0.012 and 0.018 inches in thickness from which the closure plugs 26 depend, as shown in The term �inert elastomer� as applied to sample vial caps or plugs is believed to be well understood in the industry to mean inert to substances and fluids contained in sample vials to avoid contamination thereof. This is exemplified by the description of the �thin coating� or thin layer of PTFE described in column 2, lines 31 to 39 of the Chromacol Cook U.S. Pat. No. 6,202,878 B1 as having as its purpose �to prevent reaction between the plug and the contents of the vial.� However, Cook's admittedly thin coating of PTFE, with no thickness specified, amounts to no more than a dusting, serving only as a mold release agent, but not as a barrier film, producing widespread dissatisfaction in the industry and a long-felt need for a truly effective inert barrier protecting the vials' contents. Applicants' mat preferably has a complete, continuous, 0.0050-inch thick layer of PTFE Teflon on one side. This thick Teflon layer acts as a complete barrier film against any extractables contained in the mat layer of silicone rubber. It also acts as a barrier film against the passage of any escaping gaseous products contained in the sample being analyzed in the vial. The Cook patent says the Cook mat has a PTFE layer on one side, but it is not a continuous layer, nor is it a layer of any measurable thickness. The Cook patent shows no such layer in its drawings; no reference numeral identifies any such layer, and no thickness is stated. On this Chromacol Cook product, the Teflon film is applied as a spray, prior to molding, and it essentially acts as a mold release agent but not as a barrier layer. Customers using this mat regularly complain of problems with siloxane poisoning, from the silicone rubber in the mat, when conducting an analysis of the sample in the vial. Silicone rubber polymer is primarily composed of chains of dimethylpolysiloxane. During the rubber curing process most, if not all, of the long chains are hooked together and form the silicone rubber. However, a number of the short chains do not get linked and they migrate around in the rubber and volatilize off when the rubber is heated. It's these short chains that destroy the accuracy of any analysis of the materials in the vials, because they appear on the liquid chromatography and gas chromatography analysis curves as many different peaks, which significantly disguise, or hide, the real culprits that the chemists are looking for in the material they are analyzing. In the septa closure plug 26A illustrated in Since the silicone mat body 31, the silicone body of plugs 26 and 26A and the thick Teflon� layer 21 are all flexible elastomer, the plugs 26 or 26A can be readily deformed resiliently, as they are inserted into the open tops of vials 23 or 23A, in the successively lowered stages shown schematically in An option preferred by some users of chromatography equipment are cross-shaped or X-shaped central openings 33 in the plug floors 29 for admitting the pointed ends of pipettes into the interiors of the glass vials 23 or 23A after the plugs 26 or 26A have closed the glass vials 23 or 23A. Openings 33 are formed by slitting dies, and are normally closed by the resilience of the elastomer floors 29, avoiding contamination of the interiors of vials 23 or 23A until they are forced open by insertion of pipette tips through openings 33. Withdrawal of the pipette tips allows the resilient elastomer floors 29 to re-seal openings 33, thus avoiding contamination of the vials' contents. It will thus be seen that the objects set forth above, and those made apparent from the preceding description, are efficiently attained and, since certain changes may be made in the above constructions without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense. It is also to be understood that the following claims are intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described, and all statements of the scope of the invention which, as a matter of language, might be said to fall therebetween.

December 2, 2013 - So far these have been great!!! I like to throw my slippers in the wash and I have washed these one time so far and they have come out just fine. Would buy them again.
October 22, 2013 - I love these slippers, but waiting until cold weather sets in to wear them. I did wear them around the house and found them to be comfortable and cozy. Price is fair and quality is good.
October 13, 2013 - These were great at first but went downhill fast. The insoles went from comfy to flat and one even moved sideways. I would not recommend. I should have returned them but now it's past the 45 day policy.
October 9, 2013 - I love them! Warm, hard soled to wear outside.
September 26, 2013 - I love these slippers! They are very comfortable and the solid bottoms make the great to run out to get the newspaper. I would recommend them.

Jamie points out that if you want to be a missionary, one of the best things you can do is get a job. And she's right. It's very good advice. Experience in that thing called the 'real world' gives you many of the things she points out, and one more that she doesn't: you get to understand how people actually live. So if you're going to be a missionary, get a job. But then give it up. Leave it behind. And know you've left it behind. Read more about Get a job - then get a vocation

I don't have much intelligent to say about the recent CofE vote. These days I've learnt better than to blog when riled up about something. But I do have a comment about the use of Scripture.
Eddie quotes Jon talking about the verse beloved of those in the "yes"-camp, "in Christ there is no male or female". He makes some good points, that we should listen to the whole counsel of Scripture, that we need to consider it alongside the fact that Paul did write 1 Timothy 2, and so on. And one really bad one: that we need to consider the verse in context. Read more about Straying from the context

I have heard many pastors and preachers tell of how much they love reading the Bible, how it's a living word to them, and how every time they read it, it comes alive to them and they get something new and fresh from it.

I was thinking about someone recently who is quite renowned as a Bible teacher. He is from the conservative Evangelical wing of the church, and what is looked for in that particular version of Christianity is clear, objective, black-and-white Bible teaching. A sermon is a good sermon for conservative Evangelicals if it lays out neatly and objectively the uncompromising truth of Scripture. And the person I was thinking about is extremely good at "rightly dividing the word of truth." That is definitely his gift, for those who like that sort of thing.
