Mad Men we are not.
Thanks to the efforts of Travis Swartz's camera, the rizen team and great weather, we spent a morning putting together our first effort toward expressing a sense of who we are - creatives at the core!
Through storytelling, we used a series of Mad Men references to suggest what we are not.
Guest appearance by Bethany's dog Olive. The dog was a natural! She is welcome back to the office anytime.
We premiered our spot at IgniteBoise last night to a packed house!

Jane Fonda was born on December 21st, 1937 in New York City, New York with the birth name Lady Jayne Seymour Fonda. Her father was actor Henry Fonda and her mother was Frances Seymour Brokaw, who committed suicide when Fonda was just twelve years old. This was always kept a secret from Fonda, instead she was told that her mother passed from heart failure and it was not until much later in life that the truth was revealed.
At the age of fifteen, Fonda began teaching dance classes in New York and after graduating from Emma Willard School she went on to study at Vassar College, however prior to earning her degree she dropped out to pursue a career as a fashion model appearing on magazine covers.
Then in 1954, she appeared on stage with her father at the Omaha Community Theatre in a production of, "The Country Girl". After she became acquainted with Lee Strasberg in 1958, he helped influence her interest in an acting career.
Jane also has an accomplished actor in brother Peter Fonda who is probably best know for his role in the classic movie "Easy Rider" (1969) which costarred Jack Nicholson and Dennis Hopper.
She joined the Actors Studio in New York and by 1960 she was appearing on such films as, "Tall Story" also starring Anthony Perkins, Ray Walston, Marc Connelly, Anne Jackson, Murray Hamilton, Bob Wright and Tom Laughlin, followed by, "Period of Adjustment" (1962) starring with Anthony Franciosa, Jim Hutton, Lois Nettleton, John McGiver, Mabel Albertson and Jack Albertson, "Sunday in New York" (1963) starring with Cliff Robertson, Rod Taylor, Robert Culp, Jo Morrow, Peter Nero and Jim Backus, "Cat Ballou" (1965) co-starring Lee Marvin, who won an Oscar for his dual role, Michael Callan, Arthur Hunnicutt, Reginald Denny, Dwayne Hickman, and singers Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye, "Any Wednesday" (1966) also starring starring Rosemary Murphy, Jason Robards and Dean Jones, "Barefoot in the Park" (1967) with Robert Redford, Charles Boyer and Mildred Natwick "Barbarella" (1968) with John Phillip Law, Anita Pallenberg, Anita Pallenberg and Marcel Marceau and "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" (1969) co-starring Michael Sarrazin, Red Buttons, Susannah York, Gig Young, Bonnie Bedelia, Allyn Ann McLerie and Bruce Dern, a role which earned Fonda her first Oscar nomination.
Throughout the 1970's and 80's she remained working in the industry but also remained in the public eye for her political views and involvement. She continued to work in the film industry winning her first Academy award for Best Actress for her role in the film, "Klute" (1971) starring with Donald Sutherland, Charles Cioffi, Roy Scheider, Sylvester Stallone, Rita Gam and Teri Garr, succeeded by, "A Doll's House" (1973) with Edward Fox, Trevor Howard and David Warner, "Julia" (1977), "California Suite" (1978), "Coming Home" (1978) also starring Jon Voight, Bruce Dern, Robert Ginty, Kathleen Miller, Olivia Cole and Robert Carradine, for which she won her second Academy Award and "Rollover" (1981). She was also in the highly successful film, "Nine to Five" (1980) with Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin and Dabney Coleman.
Along with her work as an actress and in politics many remember her for her involvement in the aerobic exercise craze with her videos as well as workout book titled, "Jane Fonda's Workout Book". In total between 1982 and 1985 she starred in over twenty exercise video's and in 2010 she made a come back with two more exercise video's aimed at an older generation.
During her lifetime she has been very public in regards to her political opinions. She was very opposed to the Vietnam War and has publicly protested the Iraq War. She showed her support for the Alcatraz Island occupation American Indians in 1969 and has always been a feminist and actively in support of civil rights.
Throughout her career she as made quite a name for herself in the industry and has earned a number of honors for her amazing talent as an actress. She has received a total of five Oscar nominations for Best Actress for her roles in the films, "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" (1969), "Julia" (1977), "The China Syndrome" (1979), "The Morning After" (1986) and for her role in, "On Golden Pond" she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. In 1981, Fonda received the Women in Film Crystal Award and in 2008, she was inducted into the California Hall of Fame.
In 1989 she starred in the film, "Old Gringo" and then retired from the industry to focus on her personal life. She made a comeback in 2005 starring in the film, "Monster-In-Law" and also published her autobiography, "My Life So Far" which became a Best Seller and in 2011 she released her latest book, "Prime Time: Making the Most of Your Life". Other more recent roles include the films, "Georgia Rule" (2007) and "Peace, Love, and Misunderstanding" (2011).
She has married three times throughout her lifetime, first to Roger Vadim in 1965 and they had one child before the marriage came to an end in 1973. She then married, Tom Hayden in 1973 and they also had one child together before this marriage ended in 1989. Her third husband was, billionaire mogul Ted Turner whom she wed in 1991, however by 2001, another marriage had come to an end. She has not re-married and her latest honor was in 2011 when she was ranked #9 in Men's Health magazine as the, "100 Hottest Women of All Time".

A witness who was feeding horses at the time, stated that he saw the airplane performing touch-and-go landings to an open field. He said that the airplane touched down and that he saw the airplane takeoff again, and he observed it turning sharply after takeoff, while still at a low altitude. He said he then saw the nose lower, and the airplane descend out of sight, and then he heard the sound of an impact. The witness further stated that throughout the flight the engine sounded as if it was operating normally. In addition to the first witness, another witness said he observed the airplane touching down and taking off, and further observed it in a turn before hearing it impact the ground. After hospitalization as a result of his injuries the pilot provided a report to the NTSB stating that he could not remember anything about the accident. Examination of FAA records revealed that the pilot's last medical examination had been on February 1, 2000. On August 20, 2004, an FAA inspector examined the accident airplane, and no anomalies were found with the airframe, flight controls, or the engine and accessories.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Since "ball"ing is a common slang term for having sex, it means simply having sex outside in the snow.
My lady and I had a snowball last night. I don't know if it was the chill on the backside (initially shocking, but extremely erotic for some reason), or being outdoors under the moonlight that made us so excited.

Monkey or chicken?
Six-month-old Maxwell Drew Johnson just couldn't decide – so she went with both, Jessica Simpson Tweeted Wednesday.
The Fashion Star mentor, 32, shared family Halloween photos of her daughter being toted by fiancé Eric Johnson on her website, commenting, "Maxwell wanted to be a monkey too."
Which costume fit this cutie best? Given Simpson's infamous "Is this chicken or fish?" tuna gaffe, we're leaning towards Maxwell's feathery get-up.

- fantasticwonderfulDined on 8/31/2014very friendly people susana the waitress very special personSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Horrible ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014Our waiter was extremely rude. And will take for ever to come by the table to ask if we needed something or to take the Dirty plates. First and last time that I would go to that restaurant at least at the one in bayside. I prefer the one in front of the international mall.Special Features:
- La cena EleganteOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/22/2014Es un lugar expectacularmente bello, me encanto, tambien la atencion y calidad-variedad de la comida. Una sugerencia puede ser no permitir la entrada de personas en camiseta, shot y chancleta al menos en la cena resta distincion al lugar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My experienceLove1234Dined on 8/16/2014Our waiter was not attentive at all and it was our first time at the knife, we were a little confused but we managed to figure it out ourselves. The meats were pretty good, but the cooks are hurrying you up and you don't really know what you ate eating, because it's so loud that you can't even hear them. Also the buffet was not good at all, everything seemed old, and didn't taste goodSpecial Features:
- The Knife - MiamiBigLouDined on 8/7/2014The Knife was not a great dining experience. We were a party of 6 and we all had the exact same opinion, so-so. This is a buffet style, all you can eat restaurant, specializing primarily in meats. But the steaks were overcooked and have little flavor. We felt, for the price, that the salad bar was inadequate and the meat more on par with what we would expect at a neighborhood BBQ, so nothing great to set this restaurant apart.
- Great food, friendly service.LoveditDined on 8/6/2014The food is great, the service was awesome and the atmosphere was nice, over looking the water and the night life of bayside in Miami we arrived at 9:30 pm with a party of 9 and were greeted as we walked in and were seated quickly. We are return customers and when ever we visit miamiSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 11 reviews are from the The Knife Restaurant - Bayside reviews archive.
- Sales Team OutingUnsatisfiedDined on 4/24/2014Overall we were disappointed by the food offerings and quality. Our server was excellent and extremely attentive but, the service does the compensate for overall f & b experience. Also, the drinks were all bad. I requested a margarita with patron tequila and I'm not sure what margarita mix they used or if in fact I received patron but, it was just a terrible drink. My other colleagues also agreed. We should have known better when the restaurant had a food court quick service option. Next time, we will go to Texas de Brazil where each meat is properly presented at the table and the buffet area is spectacular. It's pricier than The Knife (almost $30 per person) but, well worth it.
- The Knife BaysideGaryDined on 3/31/2014The Knife is an okay restaurant. It's buffet-style service is a bit different from other Churrascarias that I've been to, and the food is average. The one bottle of wine per customer does make up for that a bit. On a dollar-for-dollar basis, though, the Knife is nearly as good as Texas de Brazil or Fogo de Chao.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nothing specialOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 3/15/2014The grill station was great, salad bar nothing special. Service was slow, despite a fairly sparse crowd. Granted, the location at Bayside is stellar, but overall, it didn't live up to the hype.Special Features:
- Most Bang for your BuckKristenFDined on 3/7/2014The Knife is one of the best steakhouses for the price you pay. The food is incredible and since it's all yiu can eat, you can try a varietyof different cuts that you may never have sampled before. I recommend to pre order the lomo and the ribeye from your server in addition to what is on the grill.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Poor meat QualityRamziVIPDined on 3/6/2014Quality of meat is poor! Salad bar not impressive. You get what you pay for! I will stick with Texas de Brazil or Fogo De Chao
- ExcellentOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 1/30/2014I loved this place. The food was phenomenal. The service was excellent. We were celebrating our 21st anniversary and this made it even better. I would definitely recommend to everyone I know. In fact we did and have reservation with 6 of our friends for this Saturday.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Do not suggestOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/9/2013My family left and had a few slices of pizza on the way out. After ~$130 bill for husband, wife and two primary school children. You decide. I won't go back.
- Great place in generalargdinerDined on 11/1/2013I came here for my birthday with a dozen people and we were treated like kings. It was a great dining experience. The food was great, pricing was more than reasonable, and the service was quick and accurate. We also brought in a cake from outside and they refrigerated it for us, no problem at all. Would recommend to anybody.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FoodredmamaDined on 8/15/2013Meat from the Parilla was good, however, wasn't very impressed with most the other buffet items.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

An Odd Parcel Post Package
May's parents decided to send their daughter for a visit with her grandparents, but were reluctant to pay the train fare. Noticing that there were no provisions in the parcel post regulations specifically concerning sending a person through the mails, they decided to "mail" their daughter. The postage, 53-cents in parcel post stamps, was attached to May's coat. This little girl traveled the entire distance to Lewiston in the train's mail compartment and was delivered to her grandmother's home by the mail clerk on duty, Leonard Mochel.

BOSTON, Mass. - An Amesbury man was convicted today in federal court of embezzling over $600,000 from his former employer.
STEPHEN Z. HARVEY, JR., 42, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Denise J. Casper to one count of mail fraud and one count of interstate transportation of stolen property.
At today's plea hearing, the prosecutor told the Court that had the case proceeded to trial the Government's evidence would have proven that, beginning in September 2005 and continuing through November 2010, HARVEY, who was then acting as CFO of a company engaged in a specialized medical practice which is headquartered in Brighton, misappropriated the company's monies by issuing company checks to himself and to third parties to whom he owed payment. HARVEY concealed his misappropriation by taking steps to cover up the identity of the checks' payees on the company's accounting system.
Judge Casper scheduled sentencing for September 13, 2011. HARVEY faces up to 20 years in prison on the mail fraud count and 10 years in prison on the interstate transportation of stolen property count, to be followed by 3 years of supervised release and a $1,270,121.40 fine on each count.
United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz and Richard DesLauriers, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation - Boston Field Division made the announcement today. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Vassili Thomadakis of Ortiz's Economic Crimes Unit.

Yesterday evening, a hacker seized control of French President Nicolas Sarkozy's Facebook account, and posted a message that many disgruntled Frenchmen have been dying to hear: "Dear compatriots, given the exceptional circumstances our country is experiencing, I have decided in my spirit and conscience not to run for office again at the end of my mandate in 2012."

Egypt Jails Political Activist for Posting 'Defense Secrets' on Facebook
Over the course of the past few months, the Egyptian government has taken a particularly hard-line stance against Facebook-based activism, many authorities believing it to pose a legitimate threat to President Hosni Mubarak. In March, a military tribunal unsuccessfully attempted to silence a controversial blogger named Ahmed Mustafa, barely three years after Egypt had jailed another writer for cr...
Cyberattack Cripples Myanmar's Servers, Just in Time for Election
This Sunday, Myanmar will hold its first free elections in 20 years. Whether or not the rest of the world hears about them, however, remains to be seen. Last week, a major cyberattack struck the troubled Southeast Asian country, crippling Internet services just in time for the election. IT security firm Arbor Networks says the country's servers seem to have fallen prey to a Distributed Denial ...
CNN Election Set Flooded with iPads, Augmented Reality
Yesterday's midterm elections gave Americans an opportunity to get out and have their voices heard in Washington. For CNN, on the other hand, the election circus was just another opportunity to show off more of its unbelievably unnecessary graphics. In 2008, the network underwhelmed us with holographic teleportation and multitouch displays. The stars of last night's election coverage? iPads and a...
Get Out the Vote with Foursquare's iVOTED Badge

Democratic Senatorial candidate Robin Carnahan, for example, has begun posting signs around Missouri,...
Hackers Attempt to Sabotage Swedish Election With Wily Write-In Codes
Sweden's election regulations feature a quaint guideline that allows voters to write-in their selections by literally handwriting them on slips of paper. During the nation's most recent election, hackers attempted to undermine that system by surreptitiously including codes that could have completely crippled the tabulation process. Sweden openly displays the written votes to maintain transpare...

Facebook Support for Egyptian Regime Change Helps, But Isn't the Only Option
Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, who's been in power since Anwar El-Sadat's assassination in 1981, is up for re-election next year.

Obama to Webcast the Inaugural Ball Live

Several offers were on eBay within hours of th...
Obama's Personal Photographer Posts Election Pics on Flickr
It used to be that the only place you could get behind the scenes photos of political campaigns was from established photo-journalists published in mainstream print media outlets like Time and Life. Much like his methods for fund-raising and grass-roots organizing, Obama seems to be taking a more transparent, Web-oriented approach to photography and the campaign image. The historic night with t...

text: Crazy rumors suggest iPhone 5S could launch with a variety of color options, NFC, larger screen and lots of storage Aaron Rowe December 10, 2012 Apple, Rumor 1 Comment The iPhone 5, which is the 6th generation iPhone, just finally got an update to the display. If these lingering rumors have their way, the next gen iPhone will be big, and i mean that literally. Peter Misek, cited analyst, is saying that Apple next gen iPhone will have major upgrades. "Based on our checks, likely updates include a new super HD camera/screen, a better battery, and NFC. Possible updates include an IGZO screen for Retina+, 128GB storage, and coming in 6 to 8 colors." Thats crazy, and if these rumors make it sound like the iPhone is either trying really hard to catch up or becoming more "Android like: in regards to hardware.

The Lane Twins (re-air) - Dec 23,2012
Currently, the Lane Twins are living the high life in Los Angeles, California, soaking the sun up with all the other angels. When asked about being identical twins, the Lane brothers say they always think of it as being a very special and wonderful gift. A gift that they are using to their benefit in reaching Hollywood stardom. It has already opened so many doors for these two, that they have had roles in such big flicks as "Spiderman," "Zoolander," and "The Patriot." I happen to just stumble across these guys and their new documentary, "Hollywood to Dollywood" and its trailer tonight and couldnt resist to invite them to the show to talk about their journey and love for Dolly Parton.

On June 11th, 2013, President Obama held a White House press conference to alert the nation on the need to fix a broken immigration system, reminding us that we are a nation of immigrants. Joining him in the address was a diverse group representing many walks of life – clergy, law enforcement agents, labor and business leaders, Democrats and Republicans. Among them was an Argentinian-born alumnus from Miami's St. Thomas University, Diego Sanchez.
Diego came with his parents when he was a kid and called America home as he grew up. He made good grades, good friends, stayed out of trouble, yet faced the harsh reality of having to fear deportation since he learned of his illegal status in high school. When he found out that student "dreamers" could emerge from the shadows he signed up and was approved for deferred action. A few weeks ago, he graduated from St. Thomas University (affiliated with the Archdiocese of Miami) and continued joining mobilized Latino organizations that are asking the President to stop deportations of those who could be eligible for naturalization under the proposed reform bill.
Important and complex immigration issues have been brought to light at St. Thomas School of Law symposia and through its Human Rights Institute, directed by Christine Reis, Esq. They include indefinite detention in light of the permissible length of post-removal period detention of deportable aliens, and the conditions of some detention facilities in the United States. "The use of detention has become a tool to secure the U.S. borders and remove undocumented immigrants from the United States," says St. Thomas University President Monsignor Franklyn M. Casale. "International young talent who can contribute to America's scientific, technological and entrepreneurship future should become part of the American fabric and, after studying here, contribute to the nation's economic wellbeing. Referring to our mission of Developing Leaders for Life, we form ethical, competent, and social justice leadership. We are proud of Diego Sanchez for raising the bar and becoming engaged in the burning issue."

Over the years, I've heard conservative commentators and politicians praise lack of action in Congress and state legislatures. The fewer bills they pass, goes the reasoning, the less the government does to regulate the actions of its citizens.
Two of northeast Indiana's most conservative lawmakers, however, apparently don't buy into that theory. Sen. Dennis Kruse, R-Auburn, has filed more legislation than any other state lawmaker this year – 58 bills, plus three resolutions. In second place is Sen. Jim Banks, R-Columbia City, who is beginning just his third year in the Indiana General Assembly and has authored 33 bills and six resolutions.
(Sen. Tim Lanane, D-Anderson, has technically authored 42 bills, but 29 of those are blank vehicle bills that lawmakers can insert language into later. Kruse's and Banks' bills are actual proposals.)
Both Kruse and Banks have identified with the tea party, and many of their proposals are conservative measures that have already stalled. Kruse, for instance, has authored a clearly unconstitutional school prayer bill. Banks wants students at public universities to be able to carry guns around campus.
Kruse – beginning his 10th year in the Senate after serving 15 years in the Indiana House – is chairman of the Senate Education Committee, and a number of his proposals are education bills. Banks, a comparative novice, will find no more than a few of his proposals, if that, become law. Both seem to be taking an approach of throwing everything on the wall and seeing what sticks – making it difficult for constituents and fellow lawmakers to decipher which proposals they truly want to emphasize and which are just ideas.
In the House, representatives have an annual filing limit of 10 bills each. Perhaps the Senate should consider a similar rule. If every senator filed the same number of bills as Kruse, senators would be considering 2,900 bills this year.
ERASER Head
State Sen. Randy Head, R-Logansport, is another frequent filer, writing 29 bills. One getting attention is called ERASER for eliminate, reduce and streamline employee regulation. The goal is to reduce the number of professions the state licenses and regulates by establishing a committee to review each licensed and regulated profession.
Trouble is, the legislature already has assigned those duties to a committee. In late 2011, that committee recommended ending the licensing of security guards, hearing aid dealers, barbers and beauticians, among others. But after the beauticians revolted, the 2012 legislature refused to touch any of the regulations or licensing, leaving them intact.
This committee is systematically reviewing all the other regulated professions – but so far, its work has been in vain.
ERASER may sound clever, and it does change the dynamics by making the General Assembly vote to keep regulating a profession rather than vote to stop regulating it. But the legislature has been there and hasn't done that.

Stella McCartney has designs on Scarlett Johansson's wedding dress
Scarlett Johansson may have only been engaged five minutes, but she won't have any problems organising a wedding dress if Stella McCartney gets her own way.
The designer has revealed that she would love to create the dress that Johansson will walk down the aisle in.
"I'm definitely doing her wedding dress. She doesn't know it yet," Stella reportedly told People.com at her Hollywood party on Tuesday night.
Johansson announced her engagement to fellow actor Ryan Reynolds on Monday, after she was seen flashing her new engagement ring at the Met Costume Institute Gala (pictured above, wearing Dolce & Gabbana).
McCartney has also designed Madonna's wedding gown to Guy Ritchie in 2000. When asked what she had in mind for the young Translation star, she joked:
"You know, some kind of dodgy, black thing... Latex! Latex for Scarlett!"
"I'm so thrilled for her," she then added, on a more serious note.
She isn't the first designer to convey her west wishes to the actress, Marc Jacobs also offered his congratulations earlier this week.
"I'm really happy for her," he told the press. "She's a great girl. I just think Scarlett is great and I hope she is very, very happy. She's super funny. I love a smart, ballsy, New Yorker and that's what she is. I wish her the best."
Goodness me, it's just an all-round love-fest isn't it?

The police raid of a small organic farm in Arlington, Texas, which lasted for more than 10 hours and included aerial surveillance and a SWAT team, resulted in a confiscation of vegetables and plants on the property only, Huff Post reported.
Owners of the property called "Garden of Eden" are now demanding an apology from police and compensation for what was taken from them including 17 blackberry bushes, 15 okra plants, 14 tomatillo plants, native grasses and sunflowers, after police were granted a search warrant for marijuana plants. Ironically, no evidence of marijuana was found on the property.
The raid resulted in all adults being handcuffed and the residents held inside at gunpoint for at least half an hour, according to owner Shellie Smith:
"They came here under the guise that we were doing a drug trafficking, marijuana-growing operation They destroyed everything," she told WFAA.
"There were sunflowers for our bees and gifting. Lots of okra, and we had a sweet potato patch that they whacked down with a Weed-Eater The weeds that we used to shade our crops are also gone", she said.
Moreover, Smith claims that police failed to show a warrant until two hours after the raid began and hid their nametags to avoid identification.
City of Arlington, spokeswoman Sana Syden said the Garden of Eden had been cited for numerous violations and a number of complaints by neighbors that marijuana was being grown on the property. However, no such plants were found.
The case illustrates another example of the increasing use of para-military police raids using SWAT teams as routine police work - in many cases where there is no justifiable threat to officer safety.

Hunting for vintage light fixtures is a favorite pastime of mine. Whether at flea markets, antique shops, estate sales, or thrift stores, the lighting section is where I head first. Lamps and chandeliers are the finishing touches in a space—the jewelry for the room. Beyond creating the right ambiance with the light they cast, they have the ability to bring a space together and make it feel finished. So when I recently discovered Rewire LA, I was in window-shopping heaven.
Rewire LA sources vintage pieces, brings the internal components up to date, and curates an amazing collection. Their online catalog is huge and so inspiring. If there's a specific kind of fixture you have in mind, I'm certain you'll find it in their shop. And if you're not sure what you're looking for, just start scrolling. You're sure to fall in love with something from their inventory.

Research Project Summary Information
Water reuse systems have been installed at several high-rise residential apartment buildings in New York City. Data collected from these sites indicates a 48% reduction in water consumption and a 60% reduction in wastewater discharge by comparison to a base New York City residential building as defined by the NYC Department of Environmental Protection. While these results are very positive, more work is needed to optimize water reuse systems with respect to energy consumption. The Visionaire is a new residential high-rise under construction at Battery Park City (expected completion late 2008) that will have a water reuse system (a black water treatment system). This site is interested in collecting and analyzing performance data to determine the water reuse system's performance, specifically in regard to energy consumption and the reuse of water in cooling towers.
Map Error
The Contractor (Alliance Environmental) shall measure the energy consumption and economic costs of operating a water reuse system and shall compare these measurements to a base building that does not include water reuse. A monitoring system to measure the water reuse system's performance shall be designed, installed and commissioned at Visionaire. Performance data shall be collected for one year. The collected data shall be evaluated to identify opportunities for improving the water reuse system and cooling tower operation. The energy implication of reusing treated water in the cooling tower shall be determined. The quantities of chemicals used in the cooling tower shall be monitored to determine any changes in maintenance requirements.
It is roughly estimated that the water reuse system could reduce water usage at Visionaire by as much as 10,000 gallons per day. The system could also reduce waste water discharge from Visionaire by as much as 20,000 gallons per day.

Scotty: ashes located and heading home
The missing seven grams of "Scotty" actor James Doohan have been found safe and, er, well, in the New Mexico mountains where his near-space capsule crash landed three weeks ago. Doohan's ashes were sent into suborbital space as part of a memorial package. The plan was the ashes would visit almost space, crash land in the New …
And the point was ... ?
Launch ashes of Star Trek actor (and 199 others) into "nearly" space and crash them into the New Mexico desert.
Hmm, what was the point of this again? As a memorial, you say? How does that work then? I hadn't actually forgotten about Scotty. Does this help me remember him in the future? Is it going to be a regular event? And what about those anonymous 199 others? Was this supposed to serve as a "memorial" to them too? Or are they serving as extras in the Scotty event?
Are you sure it wasn't just that a bunch of grieving American families with too much money were exploited by a firework salesman?
The last fix
I'm glad they found the ashes...
Too bad Scotty couldn't get the warp drive fixed in the nick of time as usual this time around.
Body parts in "space"
Yeah, I'm not really sure what the hype is about having a random ounce or two of your ashes visit near-space. Sure, putting a vial containing the cremated remains of my eyeballs into orbit so I can "eternally watch over my descendants" is one thing, but having have my left nut spend 30 seconds at sub-orbital altitude is hardly a legacy.
Thinking about it though, why not put portions of your body into space while you're alive? I mean they can put detached body parts on ice and sew them back on these days, right? This would have practical benefits: "Hey babe, this finger has been to outer space and back...."
Let me know when they can dump my ashes on the moon and I might be interested. Till then, it's the memorial equivalent of the Sinclair C5.
I suppose it's a way of "doing" something.
There are lots of people who's life ambition was to get into space, this I suppose is the booby prize.
It was originally suggested that the remains capsules would remain in orbit for a few years and then burn up on re-entry, which seems a more viable memorial... I mean what the f**k ARE you going to do with ashes?
As it is this is a way for [The stupidly rich] to remember their loved one and feel that in some fashion they "Did right for them" which is the entire point of the funeral industry. While also squeezing them for every single penny, which is the entire point of the american sentimentality industry.

XOXO/Mother Night calls it quits, last show Feb. 21.
Last call for hugs & kisses: XOXO, the local indie-pop group we couldn't stop writing about – even after they changed their name to the much less punchline-ready Mother Night – is disbanding, "or at least [going on] hiatus," according to their bassist, Kyle Raker.
Their farewell party is Feb. 21 at Will's Pub with a packed bill featuring Great Deceivers, Boston's Pile and Surfin Serf. There's a free keg and admission's only $3, so there's no reason not to see them off in style.
So long, boys.

News from Europe's pharmaceutical manufacturing industry coupled with upcoming events, and exclusive articles and interviews from industry experts.
Are Disposable Components a Green Solution?
In light of the rising price of stainless steel components and facility construction, pharmaceutical companies are increasingly using disposable components and systems in their manufacturing processes. Ahmad Shahidi, a senior technical consultant at Parsons (Pasadena, CA), notes that manufacturers can save as much as 25% in capital costs by using single-use systems. But in this era of dawning ecoconsciousness it has become important to ask whether disposable systems also bring environmental benefits.
Absolutely, Shahidi says. He notes that disposable components reduce the amount of liquid waste a pharmaceutical facility generates by as much as 70–90%. Most of the purified water in a typical pharmaceutical manufacturing facility is used for cleaning purposes, he explains, which then leaves the facility as waste that must be treated and cooled, as does the used cleaning solution. Because single-use components are presterilized, they eliminate the need for cleaning and sterilization, which, in turn, reduces the consumption of water, clean steam, and cleaning-solution, Shahidi notes. "That's the tremendous advantage of single-use equipment," he says.
Geoffrey Hodge, vice-president of process development and technology at Xcellerex (Marlborough, MA), raises a similar point. Using disposable components reduces the need for water for injection (WFI), he remarks, because manufacturers don't need to produce clean steam to sterilize the products. "The opportunity to reduce water consumption … is one of the factors driving the interest in disposable components," Hodge says.
Single-use systems can also lower the amount of clean, compressed air that facilities use. Cleaning-in-place systems represent a large proportion of compressed-air consumption, Shahidi observes. Operators blow residual cleaning solution out of their systems with compressed air. "Obviously, if you don't perform cleaning, you don't use that proportion of compressed air," comments Shahidi.
Manufacturers also use compressed air during equipment sterilization. After equipment has been sterilized, it is hot and must be cooled. Operators use compressed air to break the vacuum and cool the equipment. But single-use systems don't need to be sterilized in place. "Compressed-air consumption is reduced by, say 50–70%" when you use disposable components, Shahidi estimates.
On the other hand, using disposable components generates more solid waste. Processing this waste—typically by incineration—could have negative ramifications for the environment. "The effect of incineration on air quality must be balanced against the energy savings and the significant decrease in wastewater discharge that results from eliminating cleaning and sterilization operations," Hodge says.
Although Shahidi agrees that the increase in solid waste generated by single-use components is a drawback, he argues that the increase is "marginal" compared with the "substantial decrease in the liquid waste generated." In addition, Shahidi is quick to point out that "you can recycle the components easily," which could lessen their environmental impact. In conclusion, disposable components do not have any significant drawback from an environmental standpoint, Shahidi asserts.
Single-use systems would not be enjoying their current high level of popularity if manufacturers believed that the products were more expensive than they were worth. A similar cost–benefit analysis could be used to assess whether disposable technologies are environmentally beneficial. If single-use systems promote a healthy environment, they protect human health. And human health is pharmaceutical companies' main concern, after all.

Gamblers who have been itching to play Las Vegas-style craps in South Florida can finally scratch. On Friday, the Isle Casino and Racing in Pompano Beach will roll out the first electronic craps game in the state.
Even though no one can blow on the dice, and the rail consists of a computer touch screen, up to 12 people can surround a machine that also allows them to play roulette. Three dice – two white and one black -- bounce underneath a plastic cover. The white dice, of course, are for craps, while the black die is included for an Asian game called sic bo.
