Because of its safety, reliability and efficiency, diesel is the predominant power source for public transit, school and intercity bus services nationwide.
More than fourteen million Americans rely on public transit services to get to work, to school and to neighboring cities.
Because of its safety, reliability and efficiency, diesel is the predominant power source for public transit, school and intercity bus services nationwide.
Emissions Reduction
Diesel power systems are undergoing revolutionary technological advancements that have already achieved dramatic reductions in emissions for urban buses and highway engines. Advances in emissions-control systems and ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD) are helping clean diesel engines achieve emissions performance equivalent to compressed natural gas (CNG) and other alternatives.
The latest federal standards taking effect in 2007 virtually eliminate emissions from new diesel buses-- reducing particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 98 percent from 1988 levels. New technologies are also being used to upgrade (or "retrofit") older diesel engines. Retrofitting devices are reducing key pollutants from existing bus fleets by up to 90 percent. Take a minute to learn more through the Forum's Online Retrofit Tool Kit.
Clean Diesel's Advantage
Clean diesel buses offer significant operational advantages over many alternative fuels, and assure reliable, durable and cost-efficient bus transportation.
A community will get more clean air for the dollar with a clean diesel bus fleet compared to CNG. Clean diesel buses are 20 to 25 percent less expensive than CNG buses, and do not depend on the separate fueling infrastructure required for CNG. Buying new diesel buses and retrofitting older buses allows transit agencies to convert a greater portion of fleets to clean diesel in order to meet state emissions requirements.
Diesel Buses Near You
Many cities have begun using the latest in diesel-hybrid technology to allow their transportation systems to be not only more efficient but also more environmentally friendly. Cities across the country currently use a variety of diesel technology to provide public transportation.
Read more about new diesel technology being used in national parks and cities' public transportation systems throughout the United States and Canada.
Chris White, AAATA's manager of service development, noted "The emissions and noise from conventional diesel buses have been greatly reduced. The advantage of hybrid-electric buses is now not as great, compared to 2007 when AAATA put its first hybrid buse. . .
With diesel prices at three-year lows and expected to remain well below $4 in 2015, much of the shine is off the pennies per gallon that can be saved by using alternative fuels.
The growing acceptance and adoption of clean diesel systems utilizing Selective Catalytic Reduction Systems (SCR) technology is having a positive impact on reducing emissions and increasing fuel efficiency across the board from passenger cars to the large. . .

6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up
By Corey Deiterman
Die-hard Fatlip fans have waited years for the ex-Pharcyde MC to drop a solo album. In the meantime, he's blown money on cocaine and skanky hos, been jilted by his former bandmates, and (finally) crafted The Loneliest Punk, the most lyrically interesting hip-hop album to drop in a long time. You rarely see an MC of this caliber so willing to pull back the curtain and reveal his interior world: After all, there's a good Fatlip (sensitive, poignant, self-lacerating) and a bad Fatlip (decadent, cantankerous, self-aggrandizing), and the two sides seem so perilously intertwined that it's almost impossible to distinguish them. For all his cheekiness -- on his Friendster profile, the MC lists his musical influences as "Me, Jay-Z, and Nas in that order" -- he obviously doesn't take himself too seriously. In fact, the rapper's inclination to purge his insecurities becomes obsessive and even excruciating; on "What's Up, Fatlip," he laments, "In the back of your mind, you prob'ly think that I was gay / But nah, I'm just a bitch-ass nigga, the type to get jacked if I was a rich-ass nigga." And you thought Kanye West was complicated.

Tess Daly: Claudia Winkleman 'incredibly talented'
Tess Daly has praised Claudia Winkleman as ''incredibly talented''.
The 'Strictly Come Dancing' host will be joined by her fellow presenter and close pal on the BBC One dance contest full time following veteran Sir Bruce Forsyth's decision to step down as co-host.
The 45-year-old beauty confessed that working without her colleague of over a decade was going to be a ''big change'' but admitted she was enjoying Claudia's company.
She said: ''But hand on heart, we are having a blast! Claudia is so much fun. She is a career woman but, like me, a mum first and foremost. She is incredibly talented and things she says off the cuff are hysterical.''
Tess - who has two daughters with her 'All Star Family Fortunes' host husband Vernon Kay - also spoke out about the attention that is given to her glamorous outfits on the show, claiming she takes negative comments with a ''pinch of salt''.
She told Good Housekeeping magazine: ''I can't change anyone's opinion. What's important to me is life, love and happiness - the rest is water off a duck's back.
''I have spent my entire life being told I'm too thin, too fat, too whatever. So really, I'm over it now. I can do what I want. It matters to me less and less as I get older.''29-08-2014

God, Money and Offerings
- 22 November 2014 10am-3pm
Attitudes to money have been a challenge for Christians through the centuries. In this study day, organised by the Institute of Medieval and Early Modern Studies, Durham University and the Museum of Cultural History, Oslo University, Dr Giles Gasper, Professor Svein Gullbekk and Rosalind Green will focus on earlier theological and historical approaches to the issues that money raises for us today.
Drawing on interdisciplinary research including amazing archaeological finds of money from Norwegian Churches, the implications of donations, made year after year, will be set in the context of differing medieval attitudes towards money held by monastic orders and the market-place. The Middle Ages, no less than the modern, held diverse views on the proper use of money and the place of offerings in church.
Tea and coffee will be provided. Please bring your own lunch or eat in the Undercroft Restaurant.
A free event, with donations of £10 welcome on the day.

Flo Rida reached a new "low, low, low" on Thursday morning when he was arrested in Miami for driving under the influence. The 31-year-old rapper, a native of Florida, was driving through South Beach in his $1.7 million Bugatti sports scar when police stopped him for swerving, according to People.
The police report states that the officer smelled alcohol on his breath and asked him to walk in a straight line but the musician -- whose real name is Tramar Dillard and is known for danceable rap hits like "Low," "Club Can't Handle Me" and "Right Round" -- gave up after the second attempt.
"I can't do this. I don't think I can walk a straight line," Flo Rida reportedly told the officer. "I had a few drinks. Let's do another test. I live on the other side of the bridge. I can make it home."
Can't walk in a straight line but can drive over a bridge? That's drunk logic for you! The officer indulged him in another test, and after the rapper failed, he was arrested.
According to a spokesperson from the Miami Beach Police Department, Flo Rida had a blood alcohol level of .185, which is well over the legal limit of .08. Furthermore, Flo Rida's driver's license had been suspended in May (whoops!) for failure to pay a traffic fine. An attorney for the rapper, who was released from jail Thursday afternoon on $2,000 bail, has declined to comment on his client's arrest.
Given his success (and the $1.7 million car he was driving), we're sure Flo can splurge on a cab every once a while -- a fact that we hope he keeps in mind next time he's been drinking.

without passive/aggressive victim power - feminism loses all its steam
and feminists daily prove that power is more important than real women

Chris... sorry to tell you.... your age is showing....
Anytime anyone is paid on anything other that performance and experience.... the pay scale is wrong. It really is that simple.
Sex, Age, Race, Religion.... not any of them should have a single thing to do with earning ability.
Any employer who pays their employees on anything other than job performance.... they too get what they deserve. Not on what you wear, not on your weight, or your height, and actually not even on what school you went to. If comes down to your performance.
I actually ended an interview once with a perspective employer when they pulled out a binder to discuss pay.... I was no longer interested. If I do well, pay me well. If I do poorly, do me the favor and "let me go" so I can go find what I can do well.

There are four key variables ignored by the "77 cents" study that is so
often quoted by feminist groups. Feel free to judge for yourself whether you
think they should influence how much someone is paid:
1) Number of hours worked (women, on average, tend to work fewer hours per week than men)
2) Organizational tenure (women, on average, tend to work fewer years with the same company)
3) Type of work (women, on average, tend to gravitate away from certain jobs)
4) Negotiation of pay (women, on average, are less inclined to negotiate their salary)
Accounting for those 4 factors alone reduces the 23 cent gap to 6 cents at most (2-6 cents, depending on whose estimate you use), and there are other factors that have been hypothesized to play a role as well, including gender differences in where people choose to live.

Comparable does not put Walmart clerks against doctors. It puts clerks against clerks etc. Women get 77% less for COMPARABLE work. So now. Justify that not an imaginary complaint.

Many studies are so manipulated or have so many confounders that they virtually deem themselves unreliable or invalid. Case and point, I am currently studying to become an eye doctor, which we were recently required to take a course on statistical data and interpreting studies. In one example the instructor presented a fairly recent study on the pay difference between male and female eye doctors. The study suggested there is a wide margin between men and women, with men making much more. The confounded in this study was that it didn't account for time on the job. The men averaged more than 10 years more experience than the women. Everyone knows you make more money the longer you are in you career. Interestingly, when the numbers were recalculated between men and women on the based on length of time working as eye doctors the pay was virtually the same. Any study must account for the confounders that may be present in a given study to provide an accurate and reliable result that can be generalized to the population. This study MAY compare the same job, but that doesn't mean they are equally qualified or deserve equal pay.

Manning Found Not Guilty
U.S. Army Private First Class, Bradley Manning, has been found not guilty of aiding the enemy.
He was accused of the largest leak of classified information in the history of the United States.
Manning could have faced a maximum sentence of life in prison if found guilty.
Though he managed to avoid the largest charge against him, he was convicted of 19 lesser charges. They include six espionage counts, five theft charges, a computer fraud charge and other military infractions.
Manning was accused of providing WikiLeaks with more than 700,000 battlefield reports, diplomatic cables, and video of a 2007 U.S. helicopter attacking Iraq civilians.
He claimed during a pre-trial hearing that he wanted to expose the militarys complete disregard for human life.
Mannings sentencing hearing is set to begin Wednesday, July 31.

MCMINNVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A drunken driving suspect who twice denied he had a weapon before a gun was found in his pocket at the Warren County Jail has been sentenced.
Jackie Ewton had to forfeit the pistol that jailers in McMinnville found as he was being booked, but a judge dropped a charge of trying to bring a weapon into the jail.
Sheriff Jackie Matheny said he doubts Ewton was intentionally trying to smuggle in the gun.
Ewton didn't have a concealed carry permit, which would have allowed him to carry a concealed weapon outside the jail.
Police said Ewton told the arresting officer he wasn't armed and later told jailers the same thing.
He was arrested for DUI after a traffic crash that cause him a back injury.
Ewton was sentenced last week to serve seven days of an 11-month, 29-day sentence for DUI.

About this title: Following up on her crowd pleasing 1998 film Finding North, Tanya Wexler directs this tweaked coming-of-age drama about a troubled teen and his even more troubled family. Having just come out of detox for drugs and alcohol, JJ (Jonathan Tucker) returns home hoping for a little comfort and solace, but he finds little of both. Though his mother continues to dote on him, everyone else is out to get him -- his brutish step-father Bull who is still furious over the vintage car JJ wrecked while hopped up; his vampish step-aunt Dot (Jennifer Tilly); his effete uncle Ernie. Even his former dealer Bobby, his girlfriend, who dumped him for Bobby, and his high school guidance counselor Dr. Charlie (David Strathairn) has something against JJ. While JJ struggles to straighten out his life, he remembers fondly his stay in detox. This film was screened at the 2001 Toronto Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

From bench scale test to instrumented manikin test Hot liquid hazards existing in work environments are shown to be a considerable risk for industrial workers. In this study, the predicted protection from fabric was assessed by a modified hot liquid splash tester. In these tests, conditions with and without an air spacer were applied. The protective performance of a garment exposed to hot water spray was investigated by a spray manikin evaluation system. Three-dimensional body scanning technique was used to characterize the air gap size between the protective clothing and the manikin skin. The relationship between bench scale test and manikin test was discussed and the regression model was established to predict the overall percentage of skin burn while wearing protective clothing. The results demonstrated strong correlations between bench scale test and manikin test. Based on these studies, the overall performance of protective clothing against hot water spray can be estimated on the basis of the results of the bench scale hot water splashes test and the information of air gap size entrapped in clothing. The findings provide effective guides for the design and material selection while developing high performance protective clothing.

The following procedures provide detailed guidance on the types of personal protective equipment (PPE) to be used and on the processes for donning and doffing (i.e., putting on and removing) PPE for all healthcare workers entering the room of a patient hospitalized with Ebola virus disease (Ebola). The guidance in this document reflects lessons learned from the recent experiences of U.S. hospitals caring for Ebola patients and emphasizes the importance of training, practice, competence, and observation of healthcare workers in correct donning and doffing of PPE selected by the facility.

Filtering face-piece respirators (FFRs) are one method of protecting health care workers from airborne particles; however, research suggests adherence is poor, perhaps due to worker discomfort. Three separate focus groups were conducted at two Veterans Affairs health care facilities. Seventeen health care workers who reported using FFRs as part of their job duties were in the focus groups. Focus group transcripts were coded using qualitative descriptive coding techniques. Participants described experiences of discomfort and physical mask features they believed contributed to discomfort. Participants believed FFRs influenced patient care because some patients felt uneasy and changed health care workers' behaviors (e.g., doffing procedures, loss of concentration, rushed patient care, and avoidance of patients in isolation resulting from FFR discomfort). Assessment of comfort and tolerability should occur during fit-testing. These factors should also be taken into account by management when training employees on the proper use of FFRs, as well as in future research to improve comfort and tolerability.

A new article from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) found that recommended safe handling practices for workers who administer antineoplastic drugs in healthcare settings are not always followed. This study will be published in the November issue of the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene and is currently available as an e-pub.Results are derived from the 2011 Health and Safety Practices Survey of Healthcare Workers, the largest federally-sponsored survey of healthcare workers in the U.S. which addresses safety and health practices relative to use of hazardous chemicals. This paper presents findings on current administrative and engineering control practices, personal protective equipment (PPE), and barriers to using recommended PPE during administration of antineoplastic drugs by nearly 2,100 oncology nurses and other healthcare personnel who completed a module addressing antineoplastic drug administration.

Results from a prospective and crossover studySeveral studies have indicated that slip-resistant shoes may have a positive effect on reducing the risk of slips and falls, a leading cause of injury at work. Few studies, however, have examined how duration of shoe usage affects their slip-resistance properties. This study examined the association between the duration of slip-resistant shoes usage and the self-reported rate of slipping in limited-service restaurant workers. A total of 475 workers from 36 limited-service restaurants in the USA were recruited to participate in a 12-week prospective study of workplace slipping. Of the 475 participants, 83 reported changing to a new pair of shoes at least once during the 12-week follow-up. The results show that slip-resistant shoes worn for less than six months were moderately more effective than those worn for more than six months. Changing to a new pair of shoes among those wearing slip-resistant shoes at baseline was associated with a 55% reduction in the rate of slipping (RR = 0.45, 95% CI = 0.23-0.89). Further research is needed to develop criteria for the replacement of slip-resistant shoes. Practitioner Summary: The duration of usage impacts the slip-resistance properties of slip-resistant shoes. Slip-resistant shoes worn for less than six months were moderately more effective in reducing slips than slip-resistant shoes worn for more than six months. Shoe use policies should not only encourage or require their use but also include guidance on replacing slip-resistant shoes at regular intervals.

Firefighters wear fireproof clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) during rescue and fire suppression activities to protect against acute effects from heat and toxic chemicals. Fire services are also concerned about long-term health outcomes from chemical exposures over a working lifetime, in particular about low-level exposures that might serve as initiating events for adverse outcome pathways (AOP) leading to cancer. As part of a larger US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) study of dermal exposure protection from safety gear used by the City of Chicago firefighters, we collected pre- and post-fire fighting breath samples and analyzed for single-ring and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as bioindicators of occupational exposure to gas-phase toxicants. Under the assumption that SCBA protects completely against inhalation exposures, any changes in the exhaled profile of combustion products were attributed to dermal exposures from gas and particle penetration through the protective clothing. Two separate rounds of firefighting activity were performed each with 15 firefighters per round. Exhaled breath samples were collected onto adsorbent tubes and analyzed with gas-chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) with a targeted approach using selective ion monitoring. We found that single ring aromatics and some PAHs were statistically elevated in post-firefighting samples of some individuals, suggesting that fire protective gear may allow for dermal exposures to airborne contaminants. However, in comparison to a previous occupational study of Air Force maintenance personnel where similar compounds were measured, these exposures are much lower suggesting that firefighters' gear is very effective. This study suggests that exhaled breath sampling and analysis for specific targeted compounds is a suitable method for assessing systemic dermal exposure in a simple and non-invasive manner.

The current study applied a fault tree analysis to represent the causal relationships among events and causes that contributed to fatal falls in the construction industry. Four hundred and eleven work-related fatalities in the Taiwanese construction industry were analyzed in terms of age, gender, experience, falling site, falling height, company size, and the causes for each fatality. Given that most fatal accidents involve multiple events, the current study coded up to a maximum of three causes for each fall fatality. After the Boolean algebra and minimal cut set analyses, accident causes associated with each falling site can be presented as a fault tree to provide an overview of the basic causes, which could trigger fall fatalities in the construction industry. Graphical icons were designed for each falling site along with the associated accident causes to illustrate the fault tree in a graphical manner. A graphical fault tree can improve inter-disciplinary discussion of risk management and the communication of accident causation to first line supervisors.

Ladder falls frequently cause severe injuries; yet the factors that influence ladder slips/falls are not well understood. This study aimed to quantify (1) the effects of restricted foot placement, hand positioning, climbing direction and age on slip outcomes, and (2) differences in climbing styles leading to slips versus styles leading to non-slips. Thirty-two occupational ladder users from three age groups (18-24, 25-44 and 45-64 years) were unexpectedly slipped climbing a vertical ladder, while being assigned to different foot placement conditions (unrestricted vs. restricted toe clearance) and different hand positions (rails vs. rungs). Constraining foot placement increased the climber's likelihood of slipping (p < 0.01), while younger and older participants slipped more than the middle-aged group (p < 0.01). Longer double stance time, dissimilar and more variable foot and body positioning were found in styles leading to a slip. Maintaining sufficient toe clearance and targeting ladder safety training to younger and older workers may reduce ladder falls. Practitioner Summary: Ladder falls frequently cause severe occupational fall injuries. This study aims to identify safer ladder climbing techniques and individuals at risk of falling. The results suggest that ladders with unrestricted toe clearance and ladder climbing training programmes, particularly for younger and older workers, may reduce ladder slipping risk.

Perceived slipperiness rating (PSR) has been widely used to assess walkway safety. In this experiment, 29 participants were exposed to 5 floor types under dry, wet and glycerol conditions. The relationship between their PSR and objective measurements, including utilized coefficient of friction (UCOF), gait kinematics and available coefficient of friction (ACOF), was explored with a regression analysis using step-wise backward elimination. The results showed that UCOF and ACOF, as well as their difference, were the major predictors of the PSR under wet and glycerol conditions. Under wet conditions, the participants appeared to rely on the potential for foot slip to form their PSR. Under glycerol conditions, some kinematic variables also became major predictors of PSR. The results show how different proprioceptive responses and ACOF contributed to the prediction of PSR under different surface conditions.

Fabric-based protective clothing is widely used for occupational safety of firefighters/industrial workers. The aim of this paper is to study thermal protective performance provided by fabric systems and to propose an effective model for predicting the thermal protective performance under various thermal exposures. Different fabric systems that are commonly used to manufacture thermal protective clothing were selected. Laboratory simulations of the various thermal exposures were created to evaluate the protective performance of the selected fabric systems in terms of time required to generate second-degree burns. Through the characterization of selected fabric systems in a particular thermal exposure, various factors affecting the performances were statistically analyzed. The key factors for a particular thermal exposure were recognized based on the t-test analysis. Using these key factors, the performance predictive multiple linear regression and artificial neural network (ANN) models were developed and compared. The identified best-fit ANN models provide a basic tool to study thermal protective performance of a fabric.

Residential roofing is a high risk occupation, more than nine times as risky as the average occupation and more than three times as risky as the average construction trade. To better understand the factors involved in residential roofing fatalities, 112 case reports filed by Occupational Safety and Health investigators for the years 2005-2010 were examined. In almost all of the recorded cases there was no adherence to the then current safety standards. It was found that there was little or no appropriate use of fall protection practices or equipment and that employer planning and employee training was minimal. Specific standards violated were examined as well as the monetary penalties assessed. In addition to an increase in the size of the penalties, it is hoped the recent national program "Campaign to Prevent Falls in Construction", with its emphasis on planning, needed equipment, and training will prove fruitful in mitigating falls from roofs.

Do medical gloves really protect?Due to their potential mutagenic, carcinogenic and teratogenic effects occupational exposure to chemotherapy drugs should be kept to a minimum. Utilization of personnel protective devices, especially the use of protective medical gloves, is a mainstay to avoid skin contact. The choice of appropriate gloves is of outstanding importance. For optimal protection in the oncology setting it is essential to establish general guidelines evaluating appropriate materials and defining quality standards. Establishing these guidelines can facilitate better handling and avoid potential hazards and late sequelae. In Europe there are no specific requirements or test methodologies for medical gloves used in the oncology environment. The implementation of uniform standards for gloves used while handling chemotherapy drugs would be desirable. In contrast, in the US medical gloves used to handle chemotherapy drugs have to fulfill requirements according to the ASTM International (American Society of Testing and Materials) standard D 6978-05. Nitrile or natural rubber latex is a preferred basic glove material, while vinyl is considered inappropriate because of its generally increased permeability. For extended exposure to chemotherapy drugs, double gloving, the use of thicker gloves and the frequent change of gloves increases their protective power.

The present study examined whether a new footwear outsole with tread blocks and a hybrid rubber surface pattern, composed of rough and smooth surfaces, could increase slip resistance and reduce the risk of fall while walking on a wet floor surface. A drag test was performed to measure static and dynamic coefficient of friction (SCOF and DCOF, respectively) values for the footwear with the hybrid rubber sufrace pattern outosole and two types of commercially available boots that are conventionally used in food factories and restaurant kitchens with respect to a stainless steel floor covered with glycerol solution. Gait trials were conducted with 14 participants who wore the footwear on the wet stainless steel floor. The drag test results indicated that the hybrid rubber surface pattern sole exhibited higher SCOF (≥0.44) and DCOF (≥0.39) values than the soles of the comparative footwear (p<0.001). Because of such high SCOF and DCOF values, the slip frequency (p<0.01), slip distance (p<0.001), and slip velocity (p<0.001) for the footwear with the hybrid rubber surface pattern outsole were significantly lower than those for the comparative footwear, which resulted in no falls during trials.

Do you remember your first kiss?
Since we had four of our friends visiting from back home for a week, we wanted to travel outside Cork City, and the first place we went to was Blarney to see the famous Blarney Castle and Gardens. Blarney Castle was one of the places I was most excited to see in Cork and trust me when I say this is, it was worth it. The trip from Cork City to Blarney is only about 20 minutes and then it's a short ...

Q. My formula suddenly started giving me #REF! errors. What went wrong?
We certainly do not suffer from a lack of data these days. But all the tools in the world will not get that data talking until it is in a format you can use. Excel is the most common place to fix data because it has tools to help scrub up your data files.
Q. How can I return characters to the left of a dash in an Excel cell using the LEFT function? I don't always know what position it will be in.
The Pivot Table doesn't automatically show up in Values, and when you drag it there, it shows up as a Count and not a Sum. The problem is that the field contains alphanumeric values, rather than just numeric values.

Galerie Lelong Artists on View at Art Basel Miami Beach, Now thru Dec 9
Galerie Lelong New York and Paris's presentation for Art Basel Miami Beach 2012 will feature program highlights such as installations and sculpture, historical works on paper, Jannis Kounellis's drawings in Art Kabinett, and a new Jaume Plensa installation for Art Public. Other artists on view include Petah Coyne, Angelo Filomeno, Günther Förg, Alfredo Jaar, Lin Tianmiao, Cildo Meireles, Ana Mendieta, Hélio Oiticica, Emilio Perez, Kate Shepherd, Sean Scully, Kiki Smith, and Nancy Spero. The works will be on view today, December 6-9, 2012 in booth G01. For more information, visit miamibeach.artbasel.com. For more about the featured artists, read below.
Jannis Kounellis is represented by a selection of drawings spanning his career as part of Art Kabinett and his wall-sized installation Untitled (2002). Kounellis's drawings reflect his long-time interest in signs, symbols, language, and the breakdown of culture in the modern world. Untitled, a wall piece made of jute bags of coal, fabric, and carbon steel plates, evokes the fragmentary and accumulative nature of contemporary society ever-present in his work.
Pictured: Untitled (detail), 2002
Jaume Plensa's site-specific installation Silent Poets (2012) will be on view in Collins Park for Art Public. Poets is composed of two identical, internally-lit, resin figures that constantly change colors twenty-feet above the busy traffic and noise of South Beach. Lelong's booth will showcase the artist's new sculpture in linden wood, Marianna H (2012). Both works demonstrate Plensa's continued interest in the body, and its role as the carrier of the human soul.
Pictured: Silent Poets, 2012
Petah Coyne's suspended sculpture Untitled #1375 (No Reason Except Love) (2011-2012) is her most spectacular hanging work to date. Albino taxidermy peacocks and pheasants are seen against a bed of dark silk flowers The sculpture's evocative title, No Reason Except for Love, provokes us to consider life, loss, and the possibility of love even after death.
Pictured: Untitled #1375 (No Reason Except Love), 2011-2012
Alfredo Jaar's work is informed by world events which he personalizes to include known text or images, or a combination of both. His neon wall piece Teach Us to Outgrow Our Madness (1995) is based on the title of a novel by the Nobel Prize-winning author Kenzabur? ?e. The title directly refers to the effects of the Hiroshima bombing. Jaar takes this metaphor into the present day, using ?e's text to highlight the sprig of hope that can still be found among global traumas.

Being inspired by so many great-looking projects on this forum, I decided to build myself a keezer. I actually still haven't finished my electric brewery so some might say this is a bit premature, but when you're waiting on a crucial part and you run into an open box GE 7.0cf chest freezer on sale for $150 at Home Depot, a more religious man might take that as a sign.
The first thing that bothered me about this device was that this was in the description
Just picked up the same freezer on CL for $120, and hooked it up to a Ranco single stage. And then you post this, grrrrr....

I've been looking to do something similar. I'm wondering though, did you actually bypass the freezers relay with your own or just add yours in line with the mains wires like purchased controllers, leaving the freezers circuit somewhat untouched? I'm debating which way to go myself.
Oh also, where'd you find a rgb LCD like that for 15 bucks??
My question is how do you know the lines are made from ferrous metal. In my experience most lines are copper aluminum?

Newest Progress on Rear Paddlewheel Boat
The boat gets a new yellow stripe.
Well, we loaded up the boat and took it to the lake. Found out the lake was 13 feet below normal. Was able to walk down the boat ramp to the waters edge and see the end of the ramp just 3" beyond. Wished I had looked up the lake levels, but we have had a lot of rain the last week. Well, gives us more time to work on the boat.
Mainly wanted to find out where the water level was, so can installed the ehaust port at or just below the water line. Will go ahead and get everything running and hold off on drilling the ehaust port hole till we find out where the water level will be.
Mainly wanted to find out where the water level was, so can installed the ehaust port at or just below the water line. Will go ahead and get everything running and hold off on drilling the ehaust port hole till we find out where the water level will be.
I had placed tape with depth marks in anticapation of getting th eboat wet today.
I seem to take these pictures where Terry is showing us his best side. He is sealing the new decking. I am crossing my fingers that we can go test the boat in the water this coming Monday. It is mainly just to find the water level on the hull.
Here you can see the groove better. Using the frame guide wood.
Making a box to protect the main geat and chain. Routed a groove so I can oil the can, and the oil will run back to the bottom by the gear.
I have Terry laying down the canopy decking.
Laid down the aft decking and installed the gas tank fill.
Installed the Rudder rod, but forgot two important things. First, the rod was an extra 4" long, and two, I had not drilled the last hole at the bottom of the rudder all the way through. Therefore as I poounded the rod in, I caused the bottom of the rudder to separate. Oh well, I can fix that. Drilled the hole all the way through and then ground off the extra rod. Had to reattatch the bottom of the rudder.
Finishing up the rudder. Just a few coats of paint and it will be ready to be installed.
52" x 14" Splash shield for the chain and the main gear. After resin dries will attatch to the port side. (Pole is just to hold the board while resin dries.)
Test fitting the rudder shaft.
Welded the rudder arm to the rudder shaft. Also welded on two brackets for the pullies. Made rudder arm by sanwiching rudder shaft between two metal sheets. Then to add strength also welded on a under brace (just another metal sheet with a 1/2" hole drilled into it.)
Test fitting the paddle, but will not attatch them till I finish witht he rudder.
The project is finally looking like a paddlewheel boat
I had also bought a set of 1" stop flanges and 4 1" inner diameter stops. I am using the stops as spacers. The axle extends on the port side where the gear will be attatched.
After redrilling the wheel axel holes, we were able to get everything on the axle.
Time to install the axel. Making sure it is level. I had bought a 5' slotted 1" diameter stainless steal rod and some bearings.
Back from a nice warm cruise to the Gran Camines. Got back to a suprise of snow. We had gotten the roof finished and while I was gone, the guys sealed and resined all exposed wood.
Just got back from a family vacation only to realise I have another trip in one week. Will be putting of boat build till I get back. Vacation allowed me to reread Glen's plywood boat building book, and decided to make frames from 1"x4"s instead of 2"x4"s. Also need to have 6" overlap on gussets. Will just need a little tweeking of the drawings.
Here is the Last boat!
Found a great sight for metal parts.Bought shaft, mouting bearings, flanges for wheel and gears for 40 chain. This will make the paddlewheel assembly easier, and will not have to weld spindles to plumbing pipe for shaft.
