Halloween Howls at the Ripon Public Library Tiny Terror on the Square Location Change The downtown event, Tiny Terror on the Square, sponsored by Ripon College's Office of Community Engagement, has been relocated to the Ripon Public Library due to the high likelihood of rain this evening. The event runs from 5-7 p.m. with a host holiday activities for children - pumpkin bowling, face painting, pumpkin painting, games-of-skill including a myriad of tossing games, duck pond, button making and more! Festivities conclude with a movie showing. Popcorn will be served. The movie, about a friendly ghost, is rated PG, recommended for ages 6 and up and lasts 90 minutes. Downtown trick or treating and other TTOTS specials at businesses in the 100, 200 & 300 blocks of Watson street HAVE NOT BEEN CANCELLED. Halloween Howls As an extension of the Tiny Terror on the Square, Ripon Public Library will host a movie on Thursday, October 29 at 7 p.m. in the Silver Creek Room. Though the title of the movie remains a surprise, Children's librarian, Linda DeCramer, will share that it is a beloved story about a "friendly" ghost and recommended for ages 6 and up. Popcorn will be served. A true Hallow's Eve In addition, the library is extremely pleased to present seasoned storyteller, Sagiia Rae, at 10:30 a.m. on October 31. Ms. Rae will share ever-so-slightly scary stories with preschool and school age children. Wear your costumes and get ready to howl a little, laugh a lot and meet fantastic characters such as Baba Yaga, the little old lady who was not afraid of anything, and the children who never listened to their parents. Uh-oh!Food Drive to kick-off the Holiday season As these festivities are enjoyed, we would also like to remember those who are feeling the effects of the economic downturn. As a way to ensure that everyone may enjoy a festive holiday season, all in attendance, to both programs, are encouraged to donate a nonperishable food item for our local food pantry. Everyone who donates will be entered into a prize drawing for free books. Here are the top foods needed by food banks this year: Proteins: Canned meats such as tuna, chicken or fish are high in protein and low in saturated fat. Peanut butter is rich in protein and high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated oils, the "good fats." These are among the most expensive foods -- too expensive for food banks to buy large quantities. Soups and stews. They are filling, particularly the "chunky" soups, and contain liquid for hydration. In addition, soups can be filled with protein and vegetables. Rice and pasta. Cereal, including oatmeal. Canned vegetables, including tomatoes and tomato sauce. Canned or dried beans and peas. Beans are a low-fat source of protein and Canned fruits. Fruit juice (canned, plastic or boxed). Make sure it's 100% juice. Prepared box mixes such as macaroni and cheese or Hamburger Helper. Shelf-stable milk. This includes dehydrated milk, canned evaporated milk and instant breakfasts. Thanks to the monetary support of the Friends of the Ripon Public Library, this is a FREE program and does not require registration. For more information contact Linda DeCramer at 748-6160 or email@example.com. Read more about Halloween Howls at the Ripon Public LibraryAdd new comment

I'm just about 15-20 minute's outside of Lawton.
Medicine Park.
I live over by fletcher. HBA and myself sometimes fish together, but currently I'm in iraq so can't get out much.
Looking to bump this, I'll be at Ft. Sill at the end of this month for about a month. I orginally planned on trying to get some type of hunting trip put together but that is turning out to be a pain. So I figured I'd just bring the pole and lures. I know of areas on Post, but unsure about surrounding areas that can be easily fished with great results by foot.
As for Medicine Park, I looked up the site, is it only Trout, or are there Bass in those waters as well. I guess I could bring my fly rod, and see what I can do on that creek.

Kevin Mazur/WireImagePearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready has revealed to Rolling Stone that he expects fans will get their hands on his band's follow-up to 2009's Backspacer sometime "this year, for sure."
"[Pearl Jam is] working on demos right now and we're going to be recording soon," he tells the magazine. "We have seven songs that are relatively completed. But then we have an additional 15 ready to go aside from any that [frontman] Eddie [Vedder] brings in, so we'll weed through those."
McCready adds that the band will be exploring some new creative avenues on the upcoming release. "It's kind of a logical extension of what Backspacer was," he explains. "But I think there's a little bit more experimental stuff going on. There's a Pink Floyd vibe to some of it, there's a punk rock edge to other stuff."

Atoms are composed of a nucleus containing neutrons and protons with electrons dispersed throughout the atom. Electrons, however, are not simply floating within the atom but are instead fixed within electron orbitals. Electron orbitals are regions within the atom where electrons have the highest probability of being found.
There are multiple electron orbitals within an atom. Each has their own energy level associated to them, and their own properties. Because each orbital is different, we assign them specific quantum numbers: 1s, 2s, 2p 3s, 3p,4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, 7p. The numbers, (n=1,2,3, etc.) are called principal quantum numbers and can only be positive numbers. The letters (s,p,d,f) are representative of the orbital angular momentum quantum number (ℓ) and the orbital angular momentum quantum number may be 0 or a positive number but can never be greater than n-1. Each letter is paired with a specific ℓ value:
Orbitals are also described by their magnetic quantum number (mℓ). The magnetic quantum number can range from –ℓ to +ℓ. This number tells us how many orbitals there are and thus how many electrons can reside in each orbital.
Orbitals that have the same or identical energy level are known as Degenerate. An example is the 2p orbital: 2px has the same energy level to 2py. This concept becomes more important in Molecular Orbitals. The Pauli exclusion principle states that no two electrons can have the same exact orbital configuration; in other words, the same exact quantum numbers. However, the electron can exist with spin up (ms = +1/2) or with spin down (ms = -1/2). This means that the s orbital can contain up to two electrons, the p orbital can contain up to six electrons, the d orbital can contain up to 10 electrons, and the f orbital can contain up to 14 electrons.
s subshell | p subshell | d subshell | f subshell |
ℓ = 0 | ℓ = 1 | ℓ = 2 | ℓ = 3 |
mℓ = 0 | mℓ= -1, 0, +1 | mℓ= -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 | mℓ= -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3 |
One s orbital | Three p orbitals | Five d orbitals | Seven f orbitals |
Two s orbital electrons | Six p orbital electrons | 10 d orbital electrons | 14 f orbital electrons |
As discussed in the previous section, the magnetic quantum number (ml ) can range from –l to +l. This tells us how many lobes (orbitals) there are in s, p, d, and f subshells. As you can see from the chart above, the s subshell has one lobe, the p subshell has three lobes, the d subshell has five lobes, and the f subshell has seven lobes. Each of these lobes is labeled differently and is named due to which plane the lobe is resting on. If the lobe lies along the x plane, then it is labeled with an x such as 3px. If the lobe lies along the xy plane, then it is labeled with an x and a y such as dxy. Electrons will be found where the lobes are found. The plane (or planes) that the orbitals do not fill are called nodes. These are places where there is a 0 probability density of finding electrons. For example, if we have the d orbital of dyx, then there are nodes on planes xz and yz. This can be seen in the diagrams below.
There are two types of nodes that can occur; angular and radial nodes. An angular node is a flat plane such as the ones shown in the diagram above. The ℓ quantum number determines the number of angular nodes an orbital will have. A radial node is a circular ring that occurs as the principle quantum number increases. Thus, n tells us how many radial nodes an orbital will have and is calculable with the equation: Total # of nodes = n-1.
For example, let us determine the nodes in the 3pz orbital. We are given that n = 3 and ℓ = 1 because of the p orbital. We can determine the total number of nodes present in this orbital because: nodes = n-1. In this case, 3-1=2, so there is a total of 2 nodes. The quantum number ℓ tells us how many angular nodes there are, so there is 1 angular node, specifically on the xy plane because this is a pz orbital. Since there is one node left, there must be one radial node. To sum up, the 3pz orbital has 2 nodes: 1 angular node and 1 radial node.
Another example is the 5dxy orbital. We know that there are four nodes total (5-1=4) and that there are two angular nodes (d orbital has a quantum number ℓ=2) on the xz and zy planes. This means there there must be two radial nodes. You can only calculate the number of radial and angular nodes if the principle quantum number, type of orbital (s,p,d,f), and the plane that the orbital is resting on (x,y,z, xy, etc.) are given.
5d orbital (two radial nodes and two angular nodes)
We can think of an atom like a hotel. The nucleus is the lobby where the protons and neutrons are, and in the floors above, we find the rooms (orbitals) with the electrons. The principle quantum number is the floor number, the subshell type lets us know what type of room it is (s being a closet, p being a single room, d having two adjoining rooms, and f being a suit with three rooms) , the magnetic quantum number lets us know how many beds there are in the room, and two electrons can sleep in one bed (this is because each has a different spin; -1/2 and 1/2). For example, on the first floor we have the s orbital. The s orbital is a closet and has one bed in it so the first floor can hold a total of two electrons. The second floor has the room styles s and p. The s is a closet with one bed as we know and the p room is a single with three beds in it so the second floor can hold a total of 8 electrons.
Each orbital, as previously mentioned, has its own energy level associated to it. The lowest energy level electron orbitals are filled first and if there are more electrons after the lowest energy level is filled, they move to the next orbital. The order of the electron orbital energy levels, starting from least to greatest, is as follows: 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, 7p.
Since electrons all have the same charge, they stay as far away as possiible because of repulsion. So, if there are open orbitals in the same energy level, the electrons will fill each orbital singly before filling the orbital with two electrons. For example, the 2p shell has three p orbitals. If there are more electrons after the 1s, and 2s orbitals have been filled, each p orbital will be filled with one electron first before two electrons try to reside in the same p orbital. This is known as Hund's rule.
The way electrons move from one orbital to the next is very similar to walking up a flight of stairs. When walking up stairs, you place one foot on the first stair and then another foot on the second stair. At any point in time, you can either stand with both feet on the first stair, or on the second stair but it is impossible to stand in between the two stairs. This is the way electrons move from one electron orbital to the next. Electrons can either jump to a higher energy level by absorbing, or gaining energy, or drop to a lower energy level by emitting, or losing energy. However, electrions will never be found in between two orbitals.

Also, my 'dialogue' was illustrative of a form of argument, and a fallacy associated with it. I could (almost) just as easily have turned it on its head and made the evolution-champion guilty of assuming the antecedent.

I like that assuming the antecedent. I can live with that as a name for the fallacy. I'll have to check on the relative dates of the various definitions of beg. The only time I've heard the word question used in this sense is in the phrase call the question in legislative debate.

Loc: London, UK Or, indeed, that his argument had become tautologous (or circular) and hence wasn't an argument at all. (Though, of course, according to Ayer and all them thar Logical Positivists, a tautology was something positively to rejoice at, with mathematics and logic giving the dear boys multiples.

Loc: Utter Placebo, Planet Reebok This is a yart, although I must admit that the discussion this time around has been intelligent and to the point. Faldo and Shanks have excelled themselves. Isn't it time, then, that the thread wandered off into recipe swapping or something? I'd hate to see a precedent set - sticking to the point - but I don't think that I'm begging the question; merely citing Board history in support of my assertion!

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The Masonic Temple building is an artistic gem in the center of downtown Charleston -- and it's quickly becoming an artists' center, as well.
Jeffrey Thomas, an investment adviser and chairman of the board of trustees of the Masonic Temple building, has been working with several artists to find the right fit for them in his building.
"We're working with artists who need spaces to work; the Masonic Temple is opening its doors for all of the artists in the area," Thomas said. "We're offering great rents, some as little as $65 a month, to make this work"
Thomas pointed out the building's history of housing artists - the late Bernie Wiepper worked in the building for years, and the Charleston Ballet and the American Academy of Ballet are located on the first floor.
"We give them way-below-market rent -- started them out even lower," Thomas said. "It's our way of making a contribution to the arts in Charleston."
Charleston radio personality "Jeanne K" Cochran works for Kanawha Pastoral Counseling and V100, yet finds time for her watercolors and acrylics and is a member of Allied Artists and exhibits at Tamarack. When she was looking for a place where she could create her art, she landed at the Masonic Temple building.
"The room has an abundance of natural light, which is so important for an artist," Cochran said. "I really like the building, not only because of its great Hale Street/downtown location, but the building itself is fantastic. The architecture is amazing, the building is well-maintained and cared for, and there seems to be this warm feeling of energy and history inside."
Artist Adrianne Galloway is opening a gallery in the building, and Thomas is helping Allied Artists president Newman Jackson, a former 1033 Quarrier St. tenant, with a space to use for the October ArtWalk.
The iconic building, with its mysterious Masonic history, opened in 1897. According to local historian Richard Andre, a fire caused by lightning in 1914 made a total restoration necessary. Some of the undamaged interior elements of the original building were incorporated in the present building, which was completed in 1916.

Recipe by Phyllis Bartlow
"This is a pie I used to make when I worked at the Downing Hotel Coffee Shop in Oskaloosa, Iowa. The hotel and coffee shop are no longer there, but their famous pies live on!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 prepared 8 inch pastry shell, baked and cooled
1 cup light cream
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups raisins
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/8 cups white sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 egg yolks, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 egg whites
6 tablespoons white sugar
My boyfriend has attempted to perfect his sour cream raisin pie for years. I made this receipe for him and he couldn't believe it was the first time I had ever made a sourcream raising pie and it turned out so good! This recipe is easy to follow and has turned out perfect everytime I've made it. Thank you!!
My grandma used to make an incredible sour cream and raisin pie that used cream and vinegar instead of pre-made sour cream. Unfortunately I never thought to copy her recipe before she passed away. I have searched for YEARS (I kid you not!!) for a recipe like hers that wasn't prepared with purchased sour cream, and this recipe is it!! I'm so happy to finally have a copy of what she used to make, and have made this pie 3 times now with complete success. The only thing I do differently is chop the raisins, since that's what my grandma used to do. Thank you again for submitting this and for bringing back such wonderful memories of my grandma's pies.

150 million books. 1 search engine. |
Founded in 1997, BookFinder.com has become a leading book price comparison site:
Find and compare hundreds of millions of new books, used books, rare books and out of print books from over 100,000 booksellers and 60+ websites worldwide.
Fooled by Randomness:
If the prescriptions for getting rich that are outlined in books such as The Millionaire Next Door and Rich Dad Poor Dad are successful enough to make the books bestsellers, then one must ask, Why aren't there more millionaires? In Fooled by Randomness, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a professional trader and mathematics professor, examines what randomness means in business and in life and why human beings are so prone to mistake dumb luck for consummate skill. This eccentric and highly personal exploration of the nature of randomness meanders from the court of Croesus and trading rooms in New York and London to Russian roulette, Monte Carlo engines, and the philosophy of Karl Popper. Part of what makes this book so good is Taleb's ability to make seemingly arcane mathematical concepts (at least to this reviewer) entirely relevant in evaluating and understanding everything from the stock market to the success of those millionaires cited in the aforementioned bestsellers. Here's an articulate, wise, and humorous meditation on the nature of success and failure that anyone who wants a little more of the former would do well to consider. Highly recommended. --Harry C. Edwards [via]

Five ways that Apps.gov is a trendsetter
I'm one of many who believe this week's announcement of Apps.gov--a portal targeted at reducing the cost and effort for public agencies to acquire cloud services--is forcing all of IT to face the economics of cloud computing.
Apps.gov, a federal government initiative out of the General Services Administration, demonstrates several concepts that have been the dream of many private enterprise IT departments for some time, but have been successfully executed by very few. Here are the five trends that I think Apps.gov demonstrates, and why you should pay attention:

I can understand that. I have never been one to push my beliefs, I will defend them till I die, but I believe one has to find religion for themselves.
Many Christians would disagree, but that is how I feel. I think being pushy just pushes people away.
wps88 said...
Answering the call? Riiight...
I believe that if a group of people has survived for thousands of years without Christianity then they are just fine. Why force beliefs on those who don't need/want/understand? That's the part that confuses me. Why push your beliefs on them? Religion has caused more wars/deaths than any other single thing in the history of the world.
Jeff4SC said...
Was reading through some things and came across this....
All through the ages, man has speculated about life after life. Dante's Divine Comedy seeks to describe it. Modern medical science has added to the speculation with its study of near-death experiences. Now all kinds of religions offer their theories.
But the greatest evidence of life after life is in the historical evidence that Jesus rose from the dead. Christianity is the only faith founded by a man who died and came back to life. No other religion makes that claim.
Historical accounts of His appearances to His disciples and over 500 at one time, were written within twenty years of the event. His disciples faced martyrs' deaths for refusing to quit preaching of His death and resurrection.
People don't willingly die for something they know is a hoax. The one thing that would have stopped Christianity in its tracks would have been for Rome or religious authorities to produce the dead body of Jesus. They never did. The best evidence of life after life is the historical evidence of Jesus' resurrection.

Edgewater to purchase rescue boat
EDGEWATER — Residents bracing for an onslaught of higher taxes in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy expressed exasperation Jan. 22 when the borough announced plans to purchase a $141,559 rescue boat with the help of a federal grant.
Critics say the timing of the proposal, which comes just three months after Edgewater's shoreline properties suffered more than $200 million-worth of storm damage, and its price tag are too much of a burden for the still-recovering town to bear.
"The people you're asking this money from — whether they're private homeowners or condominiums or the co-ops — are the people that have been hardest hit by Hurricane Sandy," said resident and former Councilwoman Mary Hogan. "Now you're asking them to pay even more in property taxes… I would think at this point, since the town already has a fireboat, that you'd be able to put this off for a couple years."
Edgewater's fire department bought its first rescue boat, which is equipped with a pump and other firefighting tools, from the North Hudson Regional Fire and Rescue about six or seven years ago, said Borough Administrator Greg Franz.
The $30,000 vessel is used "quite frequently" to rescue possible suicide jumpers off the George Washington Bridge, fishermen who fall into the Hudson River, criminals attempting to escape and more, he said.
"It's getting busy on the river and we're getting a lot of calls," said Councilman Kevin Doran, who faced criticism for supporting the purchase after advocating for less government spending during the election. "I went back and forth on this but the fact that we're getting the grant money and this kind of boat for it [changed my mind]."
Last year, Edgewater received Port Security Grant Program approval to spend more than $500,000 for a new boat with grant money that would pay for nearly $400,000 of that. But "by no means" will the borough be spending that much, said Franz.
If the ordinance authorizing the purchase is approved, the town will end up paying 25 percent, or about $30,000, for a three-engine boat that was listed at $141,599 last year, he said.
Doran said its three outboard engines will make the boat cheaper and easier to maintain in the long run. Still, the borough will reach out to the county for more financial aid, he added.
Additional money could also come from selling the fire department's current boat to Secaucus, where marshland abounds. Edgewater was originally supposed to sell its boat to the town after buying an old boat from North Bergen but mechanical issues with that boat put an end to the agreement, said Franz.

Although its a spell, It works on Melee hit and not spell hit, So i would guess it would be 9% because of that.
Dont quote me on that mind
When taunt now benefit from hit, how much do we need?
If you are able to cap it, you can skip that second offtank you have in case of resists.
I guess taunt still act according to spell resistance. Will it also cap at 16(?)% as spells? Will it benefit from spell hit as well now?
Very unsure about the spell hit value, probably something I've read somewhere.
Perhaps this is already an answered question, but I could'nt find it.
Taunt resist mechanics will change from spell hit to melee hit in 2.3. That means 9% hit vs boss mobs.
My only true concern is will it operate in the same way as all other melee hit mechanics and get parried/dodged as well! O_o.
Either way, at least we can realistically itemize for it now.
Depends on how you define a huge buff; most of the lv+3 Boss encounters aren't tauntable. There are few fights where you need to taunt frequently on a Boss, which is where a resist can really matter. 4H being the primary example, I think?
But yeah, awaiting some actual tested results on resist rates, before saying if this is a boost or not. Whether or not taunts will ignore parry/dodge (like Blind) is something that also needs confirming; but I suspect that they will.
now they just need to add more +hit to tank gear before BT...

"Generally with something this important, it is made available to the public so that the board can receive input. To pass it without any type of input seems to suggest they don't care what the public thinks. This isn't happening the way it's supposed to. The draft shouldn't be released the day it's voted on," he said.
"What's in there that they don't want the public to see until the very day they deal with it? While they are a constitutional body, what they do is relative to public schools and important to the citizens of the state. They need to be transparent."
That's why the West Virginia Education Association is continuing a series of open forums to get teachers and community members in on the discussion of the report's findings.
"It raises the issue of trust. Dr. Marple was well respected throughout the state and outside of the state. With the way things happened, it appears discussions were held with her successor before they talked to her. She was never given a real reason," said WVEA President Dale Lee.
"We were all working to find places in the audit where we could move forward for the students -- including Dr. Marple. This lack of trust is going to make it even more difficult to reach an agreement and to make a difference in our public schools."
Department of Education spokeswoman Liza Cordeiro said the board has received public input on the audit in a variety of ways by gathering feedback from several groups in the education community.
Lee, Johnson and Haden agree that the intent of the audit -- to better students' education -- is being buried under the financial and administrative issues it has brought to light.
"The kids are forgotten in this whole thing, and you'll see that when you look at the audit and the response. A lot of it is just about switching money and staff," Haden said.
The audit recommends major reallocation of funding within the state's school system and estimates to save the education system up to $90 million a year.
"It appears students are being left out of this thing. At this point, in many instances, it's about money instead of student achievement, which is the focus of our forums," Lee said.
Any updates provided during the board meeting Wednesday will be incorporated into the document so that the final version can be ready for the board's presentation to state legislators next Tuesday, according to Cordeiro.
Board members who voted to fire Marple on Thursday were Wade Linger, Gayle Manchin, Bill White, Bob Dunlevy and Mike Green.

Hi, I have built one ice tube and want another but in a different style. Is it possible to replace the VFD with a graphical VFD (128x32) for example?
If yes, what would I need to do to make it work?

The right to freedom of speech could get a workout this weekend, when two sides of the mountaintop removal debate appear at a local American Civil Liberties Union dinner.
The West Virginia chapter of the ACLU is scheduled to hold its annual Bill of Rights Celebration and Dinner Saturday in Charleston.
As part of the event, United Mine Workers President Cecil Roberts will be presented the Roger Baldwin Founders' Award for Civil Liberties.
Hilary Chiz, director of the state ACLU, said the organization's board voted in December to recognize Roberts for "pushing the boundaries of free speech for labor unions."
Also at the Saturday dinner, author Denise Giardina will speak and perform, along with Jude Binder and Elaine Wine, "The Ballad of Mary Harris" about legendary UMW organizer Mother Jones.
Giardina, known for her novels about life in the West Virginia coalfields, has in recent months joined the fight against mountaintop removal mining.
Since a March 3 federal court injunction against an Arch Coal Inc. mine permit, Roberts has become an outspoken supporter of mountaintop removal. He has called citizens who question the practice "environmental extremists" and led a march on the federal building to protest against U.S. District Judge Charles Haden.
Originally, Giardina was going to introduce Roberts. After Roberts joined the pro-mountaintop removal forces, Giardina decided not to do that, Chiz said.

Joe Pa Is Not A Lisa Salters Fan
When you're about to get blown out in the Rose Bowl, and you have a bum leg, the last thing you want to do is answer a random reporters set of pregame questions. Well at least that's how Joe Paterno felt before yesterday's game. ABC's Lisa Salters was trying to get a hold of Joe Pa before the game, and even went so far as to stand outside his booth, drawing the ire of the Penn State Coach. Via Farther Off The Wall....
Paterno didn't come down on the field during pre-game warmups. Nor did he do "a scheduled interview with us even though he was contractually obligated because of our Rose Bowl game deal," she reported.Well that's a salty way to be, isn't it? In all seriousness though, coaches give the media a ton of information leading up to the game, that they shouldn't be forced right before the start of a big Bowl Game. Plus, $10K isn't a lot of money for a University like Penn State. Just pay it with, straight cash Joe Pa.
Paterno instead told Penn State officials he was tired of the focus being on him all week, and rather than draw more cameras and reporters to him before the game against USC started, he'd just retreat to his press box seat.
"I can tell you Paterno has been on a slow boil about this (attention) issue all week long," said Salters, who relayed a story about asking him before the game if he'd talk to the team on the field before heading up to the press box, he snapped back: "Stop talking about me!"
Salters added that Penn State could be "fined up to $10,000" for Paterno's refusal to let her interview him before the game, "and apparently he doesn't care."
JoePa snubs Lisa Salters, and neither she (nor ABC) is happy about it (Farther Off The Wall)

cinder block basement issues
hello all. new guy here. might as well make my first post a good one! i am wondering what to do about my cinder block wall on the outside of it. it has parging on it and it looks like moisture is coming out of it at the mortar joints. it is really ugly looking from the street and we want to put real stone systems stone veneer on, but i need to correct this problem first. a little backround on the house. it was built in 78 and has had an unfinished basement up till we moved in in 09. i watched first for any signs of water coming in. we live in a very sandy area with an aquafir under us so the water goes away real fast. no moisture in the basement. in '11 i insulated the basement so far with 2" of xps. still have yet to finish with walls and roxul batts.
the problem on the outside looks to have gotten a little worse during the winter. the lines showing through are also there in the summer. i am hoping it was just a bad parging job but not sure. i have searched the net high and low but i cant find anything similar to what i have. here are a couple pics of what i mean. thanks for the help clarence |

cinder block basement issues
can't tell IF some parging's lossen'd & fallen off it was done in a ' slop trowel ' texture,,, either way, this is what i'd do,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
1, pressure wash ( 3,500psi, 4gal min, turbo nozzle ); 2, spray on 2 coats of silicone siloxane water repellent; 3, mechanically attach expand'd wire mesh; 4, trowel on mortar & attach faux stone. IF some questions rais'd above could be answer'd, reserve right to change answer ps - most everyone lives above an aquifer
if you hear it from a guy in the apron store, be VERY suspicious the mtl/method will work,,, when it time to build something together, they won't answer phones NOR help To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. |

Background and objectives:
The 8 October 2005 earthquake in Pakistan caused the physical disappearance of land due to landslides and flooding created by the change in the surface water system. After the earthquake it became evident that some sites were not suitable for rebuilding due to vulnerability to seismic, soil, or landslide hazards. The needs of those families who lost their land in the earthquake have been addressed in a tailored programme implemented by UN-HABITAT, which supported people to acquire new land and regain the same starting position as others who were reconstructing new homes. The objective of the programme was to ensure that those who lost land in the earthquake were provided with a new piece of land.

Monoblock propels Skyy into new markets
Molinaro does admit that the bottles can be unstable but that doesn't pose much trouble on the line. "We currently run two different bottle styles" he says. "One is top heavy and one isn't. The Hoppmann unit handles them both pretty well."
Bottles are conveyed into the monoblock filler/capper. Although Grafco provides the bottles to Frank-Lin in a dust-free plastic wrap plans call for an air jet cleaning unit on-line just prior to filling.
After bottles enter a timing screw they are metered into a starwheel that feeds them onto platforms that elevate and carry bottles around the 16-valve fill-to-level rotary filling turret. As each bottle comes into contact with a filling head a seal is made and a vacuum is pulled. The liquor flows via gravity into the bottles from the filler bowl directly above the fill heads. Excess product is evacuated from the bottle through a separate vacuum tube positioned inside the bottle at the desired fill height. Fill accuracy according to Molinaro is ±0.125%. "We're running a very tight fill out there."
As a bottle completes a rotation around the turret it's disengaged from the fill head as the platform descends. The bottles are handed off to a starwheel that feeds the chuck-style rotary capper.
In the capper caps are fed onto a rotating plate where they are picked up by the capping heads. The capping heads descend to spin the continuous-thread caps onto the bottles until the desired torque is reached. At that point the capping heads automatically release tension from the caps and the bottles exit the unit.
Bottles are then manually packed into paperboard trays by two workers. Another operator shrink-wraps the trays on a semi-automatic Seal-A-Tron (Milwaukie OR) L-sealer and heat tunnel. Cryovac (Duncan SC) shrink film provides "a very tight package with high luster and good clarity" says Molinaro.
Ten shrink bundles are packed into a corrugated master shipper. Shrink bundling for miniatures is not common says Molinaro. Traditionally minis are packed in die-cut paperboard wraps that typically conceal most of the bottles.
"Skyy felt they can get more marketing appeal by showing all the bottles instead of just a couple" as would be the case in a traditionally paperboard wrap. As a result some retailers that might normally remove the secondary package and discard it-a practice that's not uncommon-might be more likely to leave this one intact. As Molinaro explains it's up to each retailer's discretion whether or not bottles are merchandised in secondary packaging at the point of retail sale. "Some stores have them behind the cash register or in a little bin. Others have a wooden barrel with bottles tossed in there in bulk."
Regardless of how it's used Molinaro believes shrink bundling "is more economical" than the paperboard packaging that's traditionally used for minis.
Fast changeover
Changeover on the filler/capper is fast and requires no tools. While the machine doesn't have clean-in-place (CIP) capability it takes very little time to clean and sanitize it requiring about 15 minutes and constituting the bulk of the changeover process according to Molinaro. The only other part of the machine that requires changing is the motorized height adjustment of the filler and capper which literally takes just a few seconds for each.
The previous machine "was a piston-style filler and we had to disassemble the piston and flush an awful lot of water" says Molinaro which took about a half hour.
Simplicity sells
Simplicity was the characteristic of the filler/capper that Molinaro liked the most. "It has a diagram of the unit on the control panel with diagnostic lights. If there's a problem you don't have to look over the entire machine. You just look at the diagram see where the red light is blinking that's the area where you go in to find out where the jam is.
"Between that and the no-tool change plus plenty of space in there for cleaning it's just very easy to work with."
Obtaining parts isn't an issue despite the machine's overseas origin according to Molinaro. Many parts are common ones that can be obtained in the U.S. Other parts that are more specific to the machine are stocked by B&J in Cincinnati and can be shipped overnight according to Molinaro.
Based on current projects and higher productivity Molinaro estimates "payback is one year."
Molinaro concludes: "[The Fimer machine] is another generation of Italian engineering. [Italian machinery makers] have made great inroads in the past years coming out from obscurity into designing some of the premier packaging machines. This unit is built like a tank and will last us for 20 or 30 years."

I've been so depressed lately and the only thing that has made me laugh out loud is this movie. Anyone who has ever gone through an 'identity crisis' like Annie (and me) - or struggled so much that you feel cursed, you'll love this movie. My sister reminds me of Helen. She lives in CA so whenever she comes home to Ohio once a year, she can \"pretend\" that she has the most
sucked baaalllllllsss
I don'******* too many movies. This film is a perfect example of why.
I don't know how this move turned out to be the most hilarious movie that some people have called it. Yes, it does have a few chuckles but there are parts of it where you sit there and wait for something funny to happen. I did not expect something really funny from the Wiig who in my opinion has not been so funny on SNL, but some people think she is super funny. I don't ********** I don't want
Very funny. Quick humor. I loved the scene when Annie made all those attempts to get her State Trooper boyfriend to pay attention to her.
