Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

AFIA Joins "Farm Bill Now!" Capitol Hill Rally
Although passage is unlikely before November's election
Nearly 80 national agriculture, hunger, conservation and other groups, including AFIA, rallied on the west lawn of the U.S. Capitol last week, providing support to nearly a dozen members of Congress calling for completion of a 2012 Farm Bill before the current law expires September 30.
With less than a week of work time before Congress disappears for October campaigning, the likelihood of final congressional action is slim, and member after member used their microphone time at the "Farm Bill Now!" rally September 12, to lay out their party's position, and most agreed a full five-year reauthorization bill will not be enacted before the election.
Senate Agriculture Committee Chair Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), speaking to reporters after the rally, said the House should take the few remaining days it's in session this month and pass its committee-approved bill. This would allow staff to work up a draft conference report for consideration by members when they return for the November lame duck session. She's optimistic if presented with a conference draft, agreement could be reached and final action taken before year's end.
House Agriculture Committee Chair Frank Lucas (R-Okla.) said he continues to hope House leadership will clear the way for floor action despite other competing issues, but failing that he said lawmakers are likely to try for a short-term extension of current programs. House Minority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told a Washington, D.C., newspaper this week, leadership is considering a six-month extension of current programs but provided no details.
Still others in the House are recommending Congress simply allow the current Farm Bill to expire since many of the key programs within the farm package are separately authorized and would continue to operate. This option doesn't set well with those who point out that without at least an extension, many programs would revert to the original 1949 law since all subsequent Farm Bills are amendments to the 1949 act. USDA, responding to questions about the possible reversion, said the impact wouldn't be felt until early January, 2013, since it would take the department at least three months to accommodate the lack of contemporary authorities across a wide array of existing programs.
As to lame duck action, the outcome of the November 6 election will dictate in large part how much will get done on key issues takes place during the lame duck session. Lucas said he's not crazy about doing a Farm Bill during lame duck because of what he calls the "winner-take-all" mindset of winning party members, a development he said that could kill some of the carefully crafted compromises in program rewrites crafted between the House and Senate committees. At the same time, he reminded folks if House and Senate leadership agree, and the White House steps aside, the House committee-approved bill could move "at the speed of light" directly to conference with the Senate-passed bill, adding the easiest way to get President Obama's signature on the final product is to put it on his desk before the election.

Who's Being Transparent With HAC Data?
For months, the American Hospital Association argued against the public release of hospital-acquired condition data linked to specific hospitals. Last week the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services made it public anyway.
CMS posted on Hospital Compare a link to a 26,888-line spreadsheet documenting rates of preventable harm, called hospital-acquired conditions or HACs, for each of 3,361 hospitals, culled from some 19 million Medicaredischarges.
The data makes public rates of falls and trauma, retained surgical objects, incompatible transfusions, poor glycemic control, vascular catheter-associated infections, catheter associated urinary tract infections, complications from pulmonary embolism, and stage III and IV pressure ulcers for each hospital.
Now payers, beneficiaries, and providers who can open a spreadsheet can see, for example, that at Florida's South Bay Hospital .751 per 1,000 discharged patients acquired pressure ulcers during their hospital stays.
Or that Presbyterian/St. Luke's Medical Center in Denver had nearly four vascular catheter-associated infections per 1,000 discharges while at Fresno Surgical Hospital in California there were 8.655 incidents of falls or other hospital-acquired traumatic incidents, such as shocks or burns.
To compare, hospitals such as Eastern Long Island Hospital, Peconic Bay Medical Center in New York, and Community Memorial Health Center in South Hill, VA reported none.
"Any potential preventable complication of care is unacceptable," Don Berwick MD, CMS administrator, said in a statement April 6.

UPDATE: One Man Dead After Crashing Into School Building
The man has been identified as 65-year-old George Edward Banks of St. Cloud.
On Friday afternoon, the St. Cloud Police and Fire Department were called to a vehicle crash at the St. Katherine Drexel School.
Through investigation, officer's learned that a vehicle traveling south on Wilson Avenue Southeast, left the road, drove one block and then struck the Northwest corner of the school. There were four adults in the room at the time of the crash and none received injuries.
The wall of the school received enough damage to cause concern for the structural security of the building, and all staff and students were evacuated. The driver of the vehicle was found unconscious behind the wheel.
Officers, fire fighters and Goldcross paramedics performed lifesaving efforts at the scene, and the driver was taken to the St. Cloud Hospital Emergency where he was later pronounced deceased.

Upper abdomen large after mini tummy tuck
I am 1 week out of a mini tummy tuck surgery. My lower abdomin looks great. However, it is now grossly inproportinate with my upper abdomen. My upper abdomen is very hard and sticks out way beyond my lower abdomen. Will this go down with time? Or, if I loose more weight will it eventually come into proportion? Prior to this surgery I had lost 123Lbs. I now weigh 235lbs. 5'8".

Hi Mike, I don't know about losing more weight, but most doctors conclude that bulging upper abs after a mini tummy tuck is due to lax muscles that haven't been repaired above the umbilicus.

I made this bolero jacket just guessing how am I gonna make the embroided part?. For this creation I ussed the basic pattern for coats publised on Burda Easy Fashion fall 2006.
I just changed the sleeves and do not put collar on.
The emrboided was completely my idea. I just started drawing on the fabric and tried to keep the same design on every side.
For doing it, I used normal thread sewing machine and I made it by hand. I akso tried to maintain the same colors of the original.
Golden bottons and the same embroided design for sleeves and neckline.
Difficult… I don't think so, but it takes a lot of time and patient.
Embroided isn't exactly one of my dearest task but I think I have kept something from 13 year in a catholic school. (nons are very demanding when it comes to embroid). Well, thanks to all of them I can present to you the results.
I wear it the same way that Sienna Miller did.

How to Write a Realistic Dream
Edited by Ladyblair103, Teresa, Lillian May, Annie
Writing a realistic dream can be harder than writing the "realistic fiction" part of your story. Here are some ways to make the dream sequence convincing and meaningful to the story.
1Know your character. If you have a good sense of your character's internal life, you should have a sense of how they dream. Some important details to consider:
- Does your character have a chemical/medical issue that will affect dream content? Drinking, medications, fevers and other ailments can either mute dreams or make them more fanciful.
- What language does your character dream in normally? Is this dream different? Often people learning a language intensively begin to dream in that language; sometimes people who are far from their home country dream in their native tongue.
- Which of your character's senses dominate? Some people are more visual, some more auditory, some more tactile, etc. This often reflects in dreams.
- What is the character's state of mind? Anxiety or sadness tend to produce dreams that are darker in tone, for instance.
- How does this character usually dream? Are they a linear thinker whose dreams usually have plotlines or are they a free associater whose dreams flow from scene to scene? Are their dreams symbolic or literal? Are their dreams fanciful/hallucinatory or prosaic in content?
Ad -
2What are the events surrounding the dream?. Part of the function of dreams is to sift through the day's events for meaning. Dreams also reflect emotional events, like anticipation, fear, or repressed love. A character who had just spent the day babysitting and is anxious about committing to a relationship might have a nightmare about having an out-of-control child or children with their partner.
3What are the character's current internal conflicts? These will likely play out in their dreams. For instance, a character who is grieving over a lost parent might dream about talking to that parent or about being a child.
4What is the symbolism of the dream? Dreams often translate the ordinary to the extraordinary by using symbols significant to the dreamer. They also often create absurd circumstances that are an allegory of real events.Ad

An ice cream shop franchise.
Title | Author | Description | |
Ice: Great Moments in the History of Hard, Cold Water | Karal Ann Marling | "Put your mittens on; you'll freeze to death!" admonish the world's grandmothers as the temperature plummets. No doubt the Arctic explorers--today in their GORE-TEX, historically in their woolens--needed no such instruction. Icy climes bring with them the dangers of frostbite, but also the poetic beauty of glaciers and ice shelves, of ice palaces and aurora borealis. Karal Ann Marling explores these topics and more as she considers the history of "hard, cold water." What better place to start than with dessert? The pleasure of ice cream on a hot day has been known since the sixteenth century, although it wasn't until a few hundred years later that reliable refrigeration made the treat readily available. Marling expands her icy explorations to the realm of fiction--the ice crossing in Uncle Tom's Cabin, the frozen wasteland of Frankenstein--and to the movies and Broadway. Cities vie for tourists by building shimmering ice palaces to celebrate winter; explorers compete to reach the poles, and not all live to tell the story. The study of ice by a true aficionado yields fascinating insights and may just inspire readers to embrace winter-or to make their way to the nearest ice cream shop. Karal Ann Marling is a professor emerita of art history and American studies at the University of Minnesota. She is the author, most recently, of Merry Christmas!: Celebrating America's Greatest Holiday and Illusions of Eden: Visions of the American Heartland. | |
The Candy Shop War | Brandon Mull | Welcome to the Sweet Tooth Ice Cream & Candy Shoppe, where the confections are a bit on the . . . unusual side. Rock candy that makes you weightless. Jawbreakers that make you unbreakable. Chocolate balls that make you a master of disguise. Four young friends--Nate, Summer, Trevor, and Pigeon--meet the grandmotherly Mrs. White, owner of the Sweet Tooth, and soon learn about the magical side effects of her candies.In addition, the ice cream truck driver, Mr. Stott, has arrived with a few enchanted sweets of his own. But what about the mysterious man in the dark overcoat and fedora hat? Why are all these "magicians" trying to recruit Nate and his friends? Who should they trust?The mystery deepens and the danger unfolds as the four youngsters discover that the magical strangers have all come to town in search of a legendary, hidden treasure--one that could be used for great evil if it fell into the wrong hands. The kids, now in over their heads, must try to retrieve the treasure first. And so, the war begins . . . | |
The Ice Cream Maker: An Inspiring Tale About Making Quality The Key Ingredient in Everything You Do | Subir Chowdhury | Innovation, claims quality consultant Subir Chowdhury, is part of America's DNA. No other country in the world matches America's creative drive and its ability to turn innovative ideas into revolutionary products–from antilock brakes and steel-belted radial tires to sophisticated software and microprocessors. But as fast as we introduce new products, we lose the markets we establish to countries that know how to manufacture higher quality versions for less money. As Japanese and European firms win market share by concentrating on quality, America is continually forced to rely on innovation to stay ahead. In The Ice Cream Maker, Chowdhury uses a simple story to illustrate how businesses can instill quality into our culture and into every product we design, build, and market. The protagonist of the story is Peter Delvecchio, the manager of a regional ice cream company, who is determined to sell its ice cream to a flourishing national grocery chain, Natural Foods. In conversations with the Natural Foods manager, Peter learns how the extraordinarily successful retailer achieves its renowned high standard of excellence, both in the services it provides its customers and in the foods it manufactures and sells. Quality, he discovers, must be the mission of every employee; by learning to listen, enrich, and optimize, he can encourage and sustain the highest levels of quality in everything the company does.Like Fish! and Who Moved My Cheese? The Ice Cream Maker offers an essential and universal lesson about one of industry's foremost challenges in a thoroughly engaging style. For managers and executives, small business owners and entrepreneurs, The Ice Cream Maker is a compelling, eye-opening guide to the most effective ways to achieve excellence and become industry leaders on the global stage. | |

These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines.

Ms Boss and Madame Nadine are jerking their rock hard strap on cocks off in the kitchen of the Compound discussing what is in store for their sequestered slut popcorn lite.

Someone is going to be fucked in the mouth and done is the ass for 3 full hours. The Ladies smell fear and slut hole. Mistress Kat and Liz Whitman are filming and giggling.

Self Spanking – A Spanking Movie Review
Eleanor Powell
Studio: Spanked-At-Home.com
Starring: Justine and Arnold
Approximate Running Time: 07.35 minutes
Justine is home alone and she's feeling bored and horny. She wants and needs a spanking, but Arnold is out. Without him, she decides to do some self spanking.
She kneels on the bed. Clutching a wooden spoon she's taken from the kitchen drawer, she takes aim – swinging her arm backwards she hits one cheek, then the other.
However, try as she might, she couldn't do it hard enough to hurt, so that makes her feel frustrated. Oh, how she wished Arnold was there right now!
As the saying goes – be careful of what you wish for or you might surely get it.
At that moment, Arnold walks in and sees what she's doing – or trying to do. Spanking Justine is his job, so it's his duty to help her out.
He takes the wooden spoon from her hand and smacks her ass with it. Now that does hurt and poor Justine whimpers after every stroke!
Then Arnold goes to the kitchen and comes back with a wooden breadboard. It's so big that he hits both cheeks at once when he hits her bottom with it.
Now she's complaining that it's hurting her. Some people are never satisfied.
Kneeling on the bed with her hands on her head and her ass glowing bright red, Arnold leaves Justine to think about what just happened.
Which is better – self spanking or being spanked by Arnold?

We've fallen so in love with everything about the Sunny Side Bag, from handpicking the materials to assembling it by hand, that we've become slightly addicted to making new things right here in our Brooklyn studio. This week, we're rolling out the Spirit Clutch, which also moonlights as an iPad case, the Luster Pouch and the Penumbra Tote. The newer products maintain many of the Sunny Side's appealing features, including the lush leather, contrast pop stitching and neon straps. The Penumbra Tote is a more subdued variation, consisting of darker, heavier leather and black straps for those who like a little more subtlety in their style. Each piece is limited edition and handcrafted here in our Brooklyn studio. If you're looking to gift something unique, or to add a shot of color to your winter attire, grab these handcrafted products in stores or online here.

Hand-Crafted in Brooklyn Flourishes. Introducing the Penumbra Tote and More…
Friday, November 18th, 2011A Young Designer Pays Tribute to an Icon
Tuesday, November 15th, 2011Ever wonder what it's like to grow up around a design studio? For Aslan, age 11, being around the Brooklyn Industries factory and studio has instilled a precocious recognition of the beauty of art and design. Even at an early age, Aslan was an admirer of Steve Jobs' products and aesthetic. This T-shirt is the young designer's tribute to Jobs and his contributions. After some initial sketches, the design was simply scrawled on the studio door, then photographed in honor of the minimalist style championed by Jobs.
Ten percent of the proceeds from sales of this shirt will be donated to CFY, a nonprofit that uses digital learning to help low-income children in NYC do better in school.
Wear to Work for Halloween
Friday, October 28th, 2011The last day of October is the only chance we get to escape our normal wardrobe and parade the streets dressed as a witch, a super hero or a sexy mouse. We're big fans of this holiday, but full zombie make up (or a spandex body suit) may not be the best thing to wear to work. For those of us who want to show our holiday spirit, but don't want to walk around the office dressed as a giant, purple, sparkle slug, there is the Creepy Owl Tee. This women's tee is in short supply, so be sure to pick one up before Monday!
Brooklyn Industries Tip Toes Back Into Manufacturing
Sunday, October 16th, 2011How many design meetings can you sit in dreaming about ideas and projects that you just want to make tomorrow but have to wait. The stream of proto and waiting time is often too long. Our creative director stood up in one of these meetings and said, why don't we make them ourselves? Like when we started. One sewer, one machine, one bag at a time. Next thing we know, there is a sewing machine amongst our designer's computers. One of our sewers who repair bags for us, is working with our designer cutting out patterns, and sewing bags one at a time. Just as we dreamed.
SUNNY SIDE UP is a very very limited series of hand-made leather bags. The colored leather is hand chosen by our designer. The straps are picked for their neon offset. The leather is very smooth, beautiful. The affect is stunningly simple- A leather tote with neon stitching and details handmade in Brooklyn.
They are now available only at the Dumbo and Union Square Store.
Fluorescent Orange Say Hello to Henna
Sunday, October 2nd, 2011Of late our stylist Human Resources coordinator Madoka has been wearing this truly awesome fluorescent orange nail polish from Face Stockholm. We also put orange on our model Serena's lips ( check her out above against a delapidated Brooklyn Navy Yard Wall). Above Serena is wearing a pink version on her lips and the Camelia Jacket. We highly recommend pairing the jacket, or the color, or the nail polish this with our Kingston Corduroy Pants in Henna, or the Charisma Dress in Rust.
Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011Here are some of Brooklyn Industries' favorite t-shirt picks for August.
Monday, August 1st, 2011Today, we bring to you a first look at Brooklyn Industries' Autumn Jacket Collection, with the women's Draper Trench and the men's Modus Jacket.
Tuesday, July 12th, 2011Read more about our new men's Altimeter Shirt, the contemporary update to Brooklyn Industries' best-selling Smith Military Shirt. Our favorite features are the button-tab sleeves and triple denim stitching.
Monday, April 4th, 2011This April, Brooklyn Industries is excited to present the limited edition ECO CONSCIOUS Collection. The collection features women's styles made from 65% recycled scrap cotton – fabric that would otherwise end up in a landfill. The scrap fabrics are spun together, processed through a pure water garment wash and lightly dyed to create a heathered look. ECO CONSCIOUS women's styles includes the Gaia Eco Dress, a blue drawstring shirtdress flattering to any silhouette; the Eco Theodora Dress, a grey heather dress with a sweetheart neckline and ruching at the natural waist; the Eco Scoop Tee, a scoop neck tank with swirl detailing and a drawstring at the natural waist (available in two colors); and the Eco Flora Maxi Skirt, a long versatile cotton maxi skirt, available in heather grey and a rosey pink.
Thursday, January 13th, 2011New York Comedian Laura Prangley loves our best-selling Fjord Down Coat so much she made a video about it. Fjords have always been warm, but they've never been sexier than in Laura's video, "Body By Brooklyn Industries." Click the video below to see how sexy your Fjord can be!

Booklover: Too bad about your experiences but is your issue with the message or the messenger? Sounds like the latter. If it's the message, what doesn't ring true, because even the Deists believe in God and his greatness? If the issue is the messenger, just remember we have only had one perfect messenger, all other are corrupt in some way and a few much worse than others. If you are waiting for the perfect messenger, He's only coming back one more time and by then it may be too late for the message. Don't mean to preach at you, so I'll apologize in advance if I'm coming across that way. |

I saw these (http://www.aline.com/) at the Multisport World Expo at MIT last weekend and I'm considering getting a pair. I currently have orthodics, which I hate. Has anyone tried the inserts from Aline Systems? I know stuff like this is all relative to the individual user, but before I make the investment I wanted to see if anyone else had had an experience - good, bad or indifferent - with these things. Thanks!

The heel looks really high in the back, which could be good if you have an achilles problem, but not so good if you have PF. What are your symptoms? I have PF and use the powersteps at heelspurs.com. Since I started wearing them a few years ago the PF is vastly improved, and they only run around $20.00/pair. Buying the wrong inserts for your condition, like wearing the wrong shoes, could cause serious injury so be sure to start out slowly and only wear them for a few miles at a time until you see how you do with them.

I actually took a trip to the companies HQ today and was fit/measured for a second time. My orthodics are terrible and I can't use them anymore so I ended up deciding to give this system a try - I guess it places extra emphasis on stregthening the foot, not just compensating for any impalance - which, for me, was in the soft tissue under the toe next to the big one on my right foot - but luckily no PF issues so far! The company has a 30 day return policy so I'll give it a shot for a week or two to see what happens. But I will definately take your advice and get into them slowly to make sure no serious injuries develop.
Thanks for the response!

How often do they have to be replaced? Please keep me posted on how you do with them. Maybe they're even better than the powersteps.

They said once to twice a year as a general rule, but followed that up by saying its really dependent on the user. From what I could gather its like other foot related products and you just start to feel the after-effects of a worn out product. They do seem to be pretty durable though. I'll keep you updated over the next few weeks.

| "Zero Day", Novel by Mark Russinovich Anyone who has been "around" for a while has heard about Mark Russinovich and SysInternals. Via his first "tweet", Mark announced his soon-to-be-available novel, "Zero Day". Quote: An airliners controls abruptly fail mid-flight over the Atlantic. An oil tanker runs aground in Japan when its navigational system suddenly stops dead. Hospitals everywhere have to abandon their computer databases when patients die after being administered incorrect dosages of their medicine. In the Midwest, a nuclear power plant nearly becomes the next Chernobyl when its cooling systems malfunction. At first, these random computer failures seem like unrelated events. But Jeff Aiken, a former government analyst who quit in disgust after witnessing the gross errors that led up to 9/11, thinks otherwise. Jeff fears a more serious attack targeting the United States computer infrastructure is already under way. And as other menacing computer malfunctions pop up around the world, some with deadly results, he realizes that there isnt much time if he hopes to prevent an international catastrophe. |

UBC researcher Jenny Bruin works on cell-therapy treatment
Jenny Bruin was not your average finger-painting toddler. "I was the only student in my kindergarten class that had an experiment at the science fair," she recalls. "I received a participation ribbon, as did everybody, but I thought it was the best prize ever!"
Years later, the Gravenhurst, Ontario, native is onto bigger and more prestigious achievements. As postdoctoral fellow since 2010 at the University of British Columbia's Department of Cellular and Physiological Sciences, Bruin recently snagged one of two prestigious Research Excellence Fellowships of $20,000 from the L'Oréal Canada For Women in Science program with the support of the Canadian Commission for UNESCO.
Marie-Josée Lamothe, CMO and CCO at L'Oréal Canada, says, "We are proud to support promising research by women who are models for future generations."
In Bruin's case, her award-winning work could eventually improve the control of blood sugar levels in diabetics. She says, "We are trying to develop a cell therapy to transplant in patients with type 1 diabetes," she says. Her findings thus far in mice have been promising. The importance of such a discovery, explains Bruin, is that, first, patients wouldn't have to inject insulin every day and, second, the new cell would know when and how much insulin to make and when, whereas patients today have to decide on insulin doses and their timing.
Aside from the monetary benefits, the 31-year old values the impact the award will have on her career, in which her ultimate goal is to make faculty. "It's such an amazing mix of teaching, mentoring and researching, but there are just so few positions available," she says. "So to have this distinguished award sets me apart. Others may have similar backgrounds in funding or published articles, but there will be only be two women in Canada who have this award on their resumé."

Increase your visibility and enhance your relationships with Minnesota school leaders by becoming an MASA sponsor. Our sponsors make a significant contribution to the quality of MASA's programs. With the support of our sponsors, MASA is able to offer superior professional development, improved member services, and excellent member recognition.
Sponsorship also benefits our business colleagues, expanding their companies' presence and building their relationships among MASA members. Companies may choose to sponsor in a number of ways:
Major Conference Sponsorships
MASA's major sponsors receive a custom benefits package tailored to support the sponsoring company's goals. Benefits may include exhibit space, newsletter advertising, presentation opportunities, business partner membership, a presence on the MASA web site, etc. Major sponsorships are exclusive within the area of the sponsor's practice. That is, once a company makes this level of commitment, MASA will not engage a competing organization at the major sponsor level.
Conference Sponsorships
At both the spring and fall conferences, opportunities are available for both general conference and conference event sponsorships. An opportunities list is available for each conference. Sponsors are recognized in the MASA newsletter, in promotional communications, in the final conference program book, and on event signage where it is appropriate. Sponsors attending the conference will be introduced at a general session and will be given sponsor ribbons for their nametags.
'Branded' Sponsorships
There are a number of MASA initiatives that benefit from ongoing sponsor support. Our sponsors embrace these programs and make them a part of their continuing relationship with MASA. Some examples of this: sponsorship of an annual award, support of an annual event such as a board dinner or recognition event, or funding a recurring training program.

Flying Without Wings | ||||||||
Flying without Wings
As subjects of Earth, we grow up with no innate knowledge of maneuvering in weightlessness. This is a skill that has to be learned on the job. In a matter of minutes, we can learn to move about but to gracefully conduct ourselves takes a few weeks. During my first expedition, after a month I thought, "Wow, I am really getting good at this". Then another month went by and I would think, "Last month I thought I was really good but now I am really getting good". I found this pattern repeated over the six month mission. When I returned to space station as a space shuttle crew member on Endeavour, our mission was only 16 days, a mere flash in the pan by space station standards. Sixteen days is barely enough time for your bowel to become regular let alone learn how to translate in weightlessness. Newly arrived Shuttle crew members typically would miss a hand rail and bounce off of a rack panel with the same grace as an albatross coming in for a landing. There would be a cloud of items knocked off of their Velcro wall tacking in their wake. The station crew members were constantly following our shuttle crew picking up the flotsam. One station crew member mocked, "Next time before the shuttle arrives I will have to kid-proof the stack". To improve your translation skills, it helps to apply some basic concepts of physics. When flying like "Superman", the first and most natural method for beginners to translate, your arms are outstretched in front thus grasping onto any fixed object in which to give a little push or pull as well as offering a measure of security for protecting the tender parts on top of the head. But this is not the best way to fly. In this position your center of gravity is located somewhere around the belly button so controlling motion with outstretched arms also imparts rotational components and complicates the movement. Beginners flail with these yaw and pitch motions and struggle to compensate for their unwanted effects. Thus I learned the best way to fly is head first with arms at your side like "Ironman". Pushing and pulling from this position goes nearly through your center of mass, thus does not impart rotation. On space station Ironman becomes your role model for flying, leaving Superman for the comic books.
There is recreational flying. This is fun flying, perhaps in a gymnastic pike, an iron cross, or a cannon ball. You try to shoot down a module corridor without touching anything thus having a visceral experience with the First Law of Motion. We fly like this for no reason other than you are in space and you can. It is the equivalent of a kid skipping to school. In the frontier we once again become school kids. The Expanding Universe of Trash Feb 01, 2012 03:45:07 PM It is not surprising that the humble garbage can, essential for Earth-borne civilization, is likewise essential for space station. Unlike the kitchen wastebasket, an omnivore that will eat just about any trashy thing, on space station our wastebaskets are picky eaters. We sort our trash into a number of different categories different from the standard earthly recycle bins of paper, plastic, and glass. The main categories are: dry trash (paper towels, food packaging, empty drink bags, paper items, etc.), wet trash (pouches and wrappers with food residue), spent batteries, life support systems expendables (fluid sample bags, toilet hoses, connectors, etc.), experimental expendables (used medical supplies, containers filled with leftover nasty things, etc.), and toilet waste (sealed buckets of you know what). Some of our trash items have bar codes and serial numbers and require bookkeeping paperwork at the time of disposal. Like happens at home, sometimes an item is tossed that is later discovered essential so we go orbital dumpster diving for its recovery. Like passing through a miniature asteroid belt, in weightlessness such an operation can create a cloud of floating debris that is challenging to put back into its container. One characteristic of an orbital trashcan is that it is always full. When I change out a trash bag, within a short time it is once again full. Like a gas expanding into a vacuum, items placed inside expand into the available volume thus giving the appearance of a full bag. Unlike an ideal gas expanding into a vacuum, here the change in entropy is not zero. Placing new items into such a bag is really an act of compression. The trash is squeezed and compressed until the placing of one more item requires greater strength than your arms can supply. At that point the bag is sealed with duct tape. The final disposal is via Progress, the spent Russian cargo vehicle (and now we also can use ATV and HTV, the European and Japanese cargo vehicles). The ultimate disposal of our garbage is thus via deorbital cremation. Leonardo's Closet Feb 15, 2012 04:46:52 PM On space station, we have a closet module. Its prosaic name is PMM, an acronym that has metamorphosed beyond the original assemblage of words to become a noun on its own, pronounced pee-em-em (only at NASA can we create new words without vowels). In a former life, it was an MPLM (another vowel-less word), a special transport container that flew up and down to space station in the back of the Space Shuttle. Made in Italy for NASA, the PMM was formally christened Leonardo—obviously named after a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
For its return voyage, we loaded it up with garbage and trash. Included in the trash were bags of urine left over from human physiological experiments. These weren't ordinary bags of urine; these were eight-month-old bags of urine. I did not need to read the label—my nose could identify the contents. We brought garbage-laden Leonardo home, but due to bad weather at the Cape, we landed at Edwards in California. It took another week before the Shuttle was transported home, and another week after that before Leonardo was removed from the payload bay and placed in its holding fixture. That was followed by the Christmas holiday. By the time folks got around to opening Leonardo, it had been sitting for well over a month, and some of the bags had leaked all over the inside of the module. I happened to be at the Cape the day after the technicians opened the hatch. It was not a pretty sight. I felt partly responsible, since I had been the one who did the orbital packing. I offered, but the technicians would not let me help clean up the mess. In orbit, the Leonardo module is for me a special place. It is cool, quiet, soothing—a good place to reflect and recharge. But like most closets on Earth, the PMM is a total mess. The crew is so busy maintaining and utilizing space station that no one has time to properly arrange things, despite our good intentions.
All of these packages have a nine-digit bar code. We are required to log these in our inventory management system, but often the bar code reader does not work. For this case of 20 dry wipe packages and a meats-in-pouches package, you have to write down 189 alpha-numeric characters (without a mistake). These numbers must later be typed up in a crew note or called down to mission control. So you think, "I will do all this inventory paperwork later." That's how the PMM gets to be a mess. When spare moments present themselves, I will go into the PMM and straighten up the clutter. Floating among the bags undulating on their anchor chords, I have the sensation of scuba diving in a kelp bed thicket. Then I catch up on the inventory paperwork. With luck, I'm able to scribble down all those nine-digit bar code numbers correctly. | ||||||||
