AT&T Stops Fiber Upgrade Over Net Neutrality Fight
AT&T's plans for bringing fiber connections to 100 cities is on hold because the company doesn't feel comfortable moving forward while the future of Net Neutrality regulations are up in the air. The FCC is considering its oversight options for the companies providing Internet connections, Verizon is threatening legal action depending on what decision the Commission makes, and the White House is pushing for strict controls.

On one hand, delaying the fiber rollout makes sense because AT&T doesn't know exactly how it will be able to use the infrastructure once it's in place. On the other hand, this sure feels like ham fisted posturing to show that preserving Net Neutrality is bad for consumers.
AAPL Hits a New Closing High Again at $109.70
Apple's stock price keeps climbing and hit a new closing high on Tuesday at US$109.70. The iPhone and iPad maker's stock has been on a upward trend since before its 7-to-1 stock split earlier this year, and doesn't seem to be showing any sign of slowing down.
Apple Faces Class Action Lawsuit over Lost Text Messages
Judge Lucy Koh, the same Judge overseeing Apple and Samsung's ongoing patent infringement legal fight, gave the green light to a lawsuit over text messages that never made it to smartphone owners who switched away from the iPhone. The lawsuit alleges Apple should have told customers text messages wouldn't be delivered if they dumped their iPhone for an Android-based smartphone.

People are willing to file lawsuits over most anything, including lost text messages. Maybe lawsuits over OS X Yosemite being too flat will be next. That said, if the bug that blocked texts from current iPhone owners to former iPhone owners does cross California's unfair competition laws, then Apple needs to be held accountable, regardless of how ridiculous the case seems.

Net Neutrality became an even hotter topic yesterday, and there's a new security threat targeting the iPhone. Bryan Chaffin and John Martellaro join Jeff Gamet to talk about President Obama's stance on Net Neutrality, plus they take a look at Masque Attack and what it means for iPhone and iPad users.
The Oatmeal Explains Net Neutrality
President Obama made a strong statement in favor of Net Neutrality yesterday, and Senator Ted Cruz called out the push for regulation as "Obamacare for the Internet." Seems the Senator needs some schooling on what a free and open Internet really is, and why it's so important. The Oatmeal offers up one of the best explanations supporting Net Neutrality I've seen, and it's totally worth checking out. Thank you, The Oatmeal.
OS X Yosemite: Viewing All Images in a Conversation
Apple's Messages app in OS X Yosemite borrowed a little from its iPhone and iPad cousins, so now you can do more in your conversations, like view all of the images and attachments you sent and received in a chat. Read on to see where Messages tucks away that view, and more.
Masque Attack: Why Your iPhone is Probably Safe
Masque Attack sounds like an ominous threat to the iPhone and iPad because it lets attackers replace legit apps with their own malicious versions. Getting those on your iOS device, however, involves some trickery and interaction on your part. The security flaw is serious, but it isn't likely to hit you.

Apple Rolls Out Lost iMessage Repair Tool
Much to Apple's surprise, not everyone that buys an iPhone sticks with the platform, and that led to a problem where switchers never saw text messages from their friends who stayed with iOS. Apple has finally addressed the problem with a new Web-based utility that unlinks phone numbers from iMessage so you'll still see texts when switching to an Android or Windows smartphone.

Chatham, Northstar Realty Finance JV to Acquire Innkeepers Portfolio
Monday May 12th, 2014 - 10:19AM EH

NEW YORK—Lodging REITs Chatham Lodging Trust and Northstar Realty Finance have teamed in a joint venture to acquire 47 of the 51 hotels contained in the Innkeepers portfolio that was placed on the market in January by Chatham and Cerberus Capital Management LP. Chatham will acquire the remaining four hotels outright.
"The Cerberus/Chatham joint venture has been a great partnership and has proven to be a highly successful investment, turning our initial $37 million investment into distributions of approximately $114 million and profits of approximately $77 million or $2.90 per share in less than three years," stated Dennis Craven, Chatham's chief financial officer. Chatham and Cerberus bought the 6,848-room portfolio from bankrupt Innkeepers USA Trust in 2011.
Northstar will acquire Cerberus' 89.7% interest in the joint venture, and Chatham will retain its 10.3% ownership stake. The joint venture will acquire 47 of the 51 hotels for a gross purchase price of $958.5 million, a net cash purchase price of $933.9 million or $153,000 per room.
"We look forward to a successful partnership with Northstar in this joint venture," stated Chatham's CEO Jeff Fisher. "We share similar outlooks regarding the health of the hotel industry and performance expectations for the portfolio. Our long-term interests are aligned with a solid capital structure that we believe will provide strong, risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders."
As part of the transaction, Chatham will acquire four Silicon Valley Residence Inn hotels from the Cerberus/Chatham portfolio, comprising 751 rooms, for a net cash purchase price of $272.6 million or approximately $363,000 per room.
Chatham plans to partially redevelop and expand all four Silicon Valley Residence Inn hotels, increasing the room count by 36% to a total of 1,023 rooms. The 272-room expansion will include a new lobby and public spaces in each location with an estimated cost of approximately $59 million or $217,000 per room. On a pro-forma basis, the all-in cash cost for the four hotels would be approximately $331.9 million or $324,000 per room.

For the past few years, the talk of The Lodging Conference in Phoenix had been focused on the economic recovery, solid industry projections and "cautious optimism." With the word cautious no longer necessary, the economic outlook took a backseat this year to the seemingly unending parade of new lifestyle brands.

Federal CIO Vivek Kundra has issued a memo July 20 that lays out deadlines for closing unnecessary federal data centers.
Officials have until Sept. 30 to complete their data center consolidation plans and their progress reports, according to the memo issued July 20.
By Oct. 7, they must have posted online their plans for consolidating the data centers. The plans will be cross-posted to the CIO.gov website.
Starting in fiscal 2012, agencies must begin posting on their websites a current list of data centers they plan to close and the centers that have already been closed or consolidated. The reports are due quarterly.
By next March 31, the Federal Data Center Consolidation Task Force will publish a governmentwide report on the best ways agencies have found to consolidate. The task force will tie the report to actual agency outcomes in their efforts to consolidate data centers, the memo said, adding that it will also look in both the private and public sectors for ways to consolidate.
As more federal data centers close, administration officials foresee a governmentwide marketplace where an agency can find available space in the remaining centers.
In the memo, Kundra described the marketplace as a way to optimize space in a data center with more than one agency using it. The marketplace would "establish the exchange mechanism for agencies to offer and acquire data center capacity and infrastructure," he wrote. The communities of interest would also verify a need for data centers.
In the marketplace, officials can figure out suitable prices for costs and standard service levels and set up models for transferring funds.
Also, in their fiscal 2013 budget submissions, agencies must include the amount of savings and changes in asset inventories that have come from closures and consolidations. Administration officials are working out how agencies should come to those figures. However, the Office of Management and Budget wants agencies submitting the same information in budgets through fiscal 2015. Read the memo.
Kundra's memo came the same day officials announced they upped their 2012 goal for closures. The Obama administration intends to shut down 178 data centers in 2012, which would bring the total of closed centers to 373 by the end of the next year, senior officials said July 20.
Kundra said the closures equal roughly 14 football fields worth of space. See which data centers are closing. View the closures on an interactive map.
The White House increased the number of closings because officials have brought agencies together and to do more than "admire the problem," Kundra said.

Never heard of it but thanks for the article.
I have no idea what is going on.
Maybe all that money the Fed has pumped in is causing all the markets to do crazy things.
Something big is probably around the corner but I see these lows in metals as nice buying opportunities.

Capital Days Bound!
March 27, 2014
It's that time of year again, Capital Days is quickly approaching. Nervous, excited, anxious, right now that's me. This will be my first Capital Days ever! It's crazy, that for as many years as I have attended SLC, I have never been to Capital Days. Any pointers for this weekend would be great! I am completely over packed and ready to go. Capital Days here I come! One might think that I was going for weeks with everything I have packed. Over pack much? Yep, that's me everywhere I go.
As I mentioned in my previous blog, spring will be here shortly. Maybe shortly isn't the right word, how about hopeful it will get here. It's the end of March and I still have snow in spots! I haven't seen one flower, any green grass, nothing, just nothing besides ugly brown trees. Oh how I miss bright green grass, the wind blowing through my hair, and the sun shining brightly. For the record, I did wear shorts this month.
Track season is well underway now. The day I don't have to put 5,000 layers on to go to practice will be great. The days I really enjoy practice is when I have my favorite pair of shorts and a t-shirt on. With this weather it hasn't happened very often, if at all. Do you know how hard it is to run with a bunch of layers on? Let's just say that should be an event in itself.
For our very first meet it was SUPPOSED to be warm and sunny. Well the weather man was wrong. The sun didn't shine and the wind blew. Luckily for me it was great meet! My hurdle times weren't great and my jumps were not very far but I felt amazing in each event. It was a fantastic way to kick of the start of the track season.
Now I'm Capital Days bound and ready for a terrific weekend with 4-H members across the state.
See you at Capital Days,
Megan Anderson

One of just four men to win the Jack Adams Award as coach of the year with two different teams, Quinn was best remembered as a long-time coach of both the Toronto Maple Leafs and Vancouver Canucks, as well leading Canada to its first gold medal in 50 years at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City.

We started learning to play golf with Richard this winter in the range on his monday sessions for ladies.
Now the weather is better we are out on the range and having great fun!
Richard is a very patient teacher and we are all improving as well as meeting a lot of new friends and really enjoying learning.
I have had the occasional lesson from other golf professionals in the past but Richard Coffin's approach was different:
1. First he checked my physical state of health.
2. Next he asked very carefully on what I wanted to achieve before even holding a club.
3. Having seen my swing he kept the message simple and direct.
4. He proved after 15 minutes a visible change in the result.
What happens long term depends not on him but on how much effort and time I am willing to invest.
Believe it - I found it great at the age of 79, that I can still improve my game.
Hi Richard, as you know I was struggling, but thanks to you after three lessons I played my best round ever last week- 77 gross at Tiverton 46 pts. Many Thanks.
good site just a shame about the mug-shots.
Could well be interested in the overseas golf breaks.

The countdown to the 2013 Australian Youth Olympic Festival is almost over and for the 1700 athletes from 30 nations their first Olympic-style experience starts on Wednesday in Sydney.
HOCKEY: India captain Sardar Singh emerged as the most expensive player in the Hockey India League (HIL) while Australians Eddie Ockenden and Jamie Dwyer were also among the top earners.
HOCKEY: With Dutch goalkeeper Jaap Stockmann seemingly impenetrable in the final, it was always going to take something extraordinary for the Kookaburras to win the Champions Trophy.
HOCKEY: A Jamie Dwyer inspired Kookaburras outfit defeated England 2-0 tonight to progress to the semi-finals against India at the Champions Trophy in Melbourne.
HOCKEY: The Kookaburras will face England in the quarter finals after a tough 1-0 win over Pakistan in the final pool game at the Champions Trophy in Melbourne.
HOCKEY: If the Kookaburras had driven their team bus at Dutch goalkeeper Jaap Stockmann on Sunday, he'd have probably stopped it.
HOCKEY: For ten members of the Australian hockey team at the Champions Trophy starting tomorrow in Melbourne it's all about a fresh start.
HOCKEY: Australian hockey legend Jamie Dwyer says the Kookaburras are being driven by their failure to bring home Olympic gold from the London Games.
The Australian men's and women's hockey teams competing at the Australian Youth Olympic Festival will be forces to be reckoned with come January.
HOCKEY: Five-time world player of the year Jamie Dwyer heads a new-look Kookaburras squad selected to start the long haul to the 2016 Olympics at next month's Champions Trophy tournament in Melbourne.

Mike Dehnert (Fachwerk, Delsin, Clone / Berlin)
Roman Svirsky
Since 2007, Berlin native Mike Dehnert has co-run raw techno label Fachwerk. The imprint's mission is simple: to release their own take on raw, floor techno. And so they have done, on 15 different occasions, earning both the label and the artists behind it the respect of in-the-know, serious techno fans the world over.
Dehnert's own productions (often informed by his grubby, dub infused and textured live and dj techno sets at institutions like Berghain and Tresor) have also been unleashed on the world via other respected imprints including Clone Basement Series, Echochord Colour and Deeply Rooted House.
The culminations of Dehnert's musical experiences so far are laid out for all to see on his unashamedly dancefloor first artist album, Framework on Delsin Records. It is a self proclaimed ''collection of tracks'' on long running and high quality label, Delsin, and continues in Dehnert's traditional vein of crafting engaging electronic music imbued with a range of moods and emotions.
As you can tell from his dark, dirty techno sound, Mike Dehnert is not interested in making a name for himself, but rather just in expressing himself. As well as continuing to DJ and perform accomplished live sets (both alone and part of a series of Fachwerk nights with friends and fellow label founders, Roman Lindau and Sascha Rydell), Dehnert is touring with Delsin later in 2011 to celebrate the release of his album.

J.K. Simmons Will Narrate Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody's 'Young Adult'
Posted on Monday, March 14th, 2011 by Angie Han
Could character actor J.K. Simmons be the secret to director Jason Reitman's impressive success? Probably not — I'm guessing the real secret is something like "hard work" or "talent" — but Simmons has appeared in all of Reitman's works to date, leading Simmons to jokingly refer to himself as Reitman's "good luck charm." Simmons recently revealed that there would be a part for him in Reitman's next film as well, the Diablo Cody-penned Young Adult. Read more details after the jump.

Finance Jobs
Finance handles the management of money concerning the assets of individuals, governments and businesses.
The Financial sector oversees the administration of personal, public and corporate finance. Those working within any field of Finance understand and study money and assets. These individuals manage money and their progression over time; they are fluent in risk management, knowing how to evaluate and control risk. Some financial departments within a company deal with money for growth and management as well as tax, audit and asset research. Finance takes many forms; some may work with an individual, while others, like corporate bankers and stockbrokers work on a grander scale with big companies or governments.
Requirements and skills
Those working in Finance must possess a long list of skills. A bachelor's degree focused in Financial Management and Technology is preferable. Skills may vary depending on the subsector of Finance but this list of basic skill sets is common among all individuals in the Finance sector:
- A strong grasp of mathematics and mathematical equations
- Analytical skills
- Detail oriented
- Strong character
- Exceptional work ethic
- Solid communication skills
Though many skills are the same, those looking to work in specific subsectors of the finance industry, like administration and banking must also have certain other skills.
It is important for a finance administrator to understand and analyse complex data as well as being able to identify risk areas. They need to be extremely motivated to achieve company goals and objectives.
One working in banking must have intrapersonal and strong communication skills as they work directly with clients and need to understand client needs and expectations. Having many clients, this individual must be able to quickly learn new concepts.
Professional path
The Finance sector offers many career opportunities in different areas such as:
- Finance Administration: a finance administer organises his or her company's assets; they manage accounts, create budgets and prepares financial reports. They also look ahead to anticipate and measure any future risk.
- Banking: there are two types of banking, commercial banking and investment banking. Investment banking does not deal with an individual's assets, but rather the assets of a company or organization.
- Insurance: this area deals with the risk and risk management of an individual's or company's assets.
- Financial Trader: this individual works closely with the stock market; buying, selling and sharing bonds and assets for investors and individuals. They decide share prices and trade in order to maximize profits or to minimise financial risk.
The possibilities in the Finance sector are endless! Here's a short list of job titles:
- Auditor
- Book Keeper
- Financial Advisor
- Fax Accountant
- Junior Accountant
- Credit Analyst
- Risk Manager

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Treasury Department rushed out a major revamp of its foreclosure-prevention program in 2010, limiting Special Inspector General for the financial bailouts.the plan's ability to help people who are unemployed or owe more than their homes are worth, a government watchdog says.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The federal government proposed new rules on Tuesday that will give homeowners more ways to avoid foreclosure and get an accurate accounting of their monthly mortgage payments.
DEAR BENNY: We own two houses, both of which have been on the market for approximately two years. One is our primary home, and one is a second home on the lake. Due to personal issues, we want to sell. Should we take a loss and sell, or hang tight? --Joyce
For many younger Americans, the dream of owning their first home is alive and well. But for others, it's still an elusive dream.
Love the way you feel after slipping into your little black dress, or donning a well-tailored black suit? Black is not only a great shade on you - it's also a great shade for your home. The stylish finish is especially perfect in the kitchen - and can be seen in everything from kitchen appliances to hardware, and now even faucets. Make your kitchen feel just as good as you do in your go-to outfit with the magic of black.
Why buy?
Technology is in virtually every facet of our lives, yet many of the everyday conveniences we enjoy now have been around for less than 100 years.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The average U.S. rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage was mostly unchanged this week, as the cost of home-buying and refinancing stayed near record lows.
When warm weather arrives, Mother Nature becomes a shameless show-off. From clear, bright skies to lush green grass and vibrant blooms, the outdoors go bold and beautiful. So is it any surprise that this season's outdoor decor is following suit?
Generations of Americans have considered owning their own home a key aspect of achieving the American Dream. But the lingering aftermath of the Great Recession has caused many people to rethink that belief. Rental occupancies are rising as more Americans opt to lease their homes, rather than buy.
The housing market continues to bounce around at what many experts believe is the bottom. In recent weeks I have written about how many of the housing reports have indicated a slowly strengthening real estate market. I don't believe that trend is changing however in the last week we have seen the New Home Sales report as well as the Pending Home Sales report come in weaker than expected. With the employment picture steadily improving, it is a little bit confusing as to why the housing market is unable to gain much traction towards improvement.
Who would have thought getting dirt under your fingernails would ever be considered one of the hottest trends going? According to Doug Jimerson, garden core director for Better Homes and Gardens, "growing your own fruits, veggies and herbs is something Americans are doing in record numbers this season."
DEAR BENNY: I enjoy reading your articles and I have a question of my own. My wife passed away three years ago and I recently remarried. I plan to retire this year and want to refinance my home. The house is in both my deceased wife's name and mine. What complications will I run into when I do this? --Harold
You've made the decision to remodel your home. The budget range and project scope have been set. You've even preemptively told your sister-in-law she'll need to host Christmas (alright, that was before you knew you were going to remodel). Now what?
Banks may finally be getting it.
She's a single woman in Manteca in her 50s.
Selling or staying, it makes no difference - everyone wants a home that looks great from the curb. Curb appeal comes together when all the elements of a home's facade are in good shape and working together. Driveways that are cracked or pitted with potholes, dingy front doors and other seemingly minor complaints like a shabby, scuffed mailbox, can all significantly detract from a home's overall curb appeal.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Average long-term U.S. mortgage rates declined slightly this week, after marking their largest one-week gain of the year the previous week.
If you'll be putting your home on the market this year, simple, cost-effective upgrades can help ensure a speedy sale at a good price.
Do's and don'ts for making your next tile project perfect
Beautifying your bathroom sounds exciting but oftentimes renovation plans begin with good intentions and end up a long, costly nightmare. The national average cost for a bathroom remodel is $10,142, according to the Cost Guide from HomeAdvisor.com. That's a hefty investment but one that can easily be reduced with a simple refresh of the space instead. Here are five cost-effective updates you can make to your bathroom in as little as a weekend.

Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt Caught Kissing, Tabloid Hilariously Reportsby Free Britney at . Comments
OMG, stop the presses. Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were caught kissing, according to a celebrity gossip tabloid. No word if they were "caught" back in 2002.
"They were very cozy, clearly embracing," or so claims Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's ex-bodyguard Bill, who previously called Angelina a raging psycho, to In Touch.
"Several times, Brad and Jen were hugging and kissing."
The insider, who's either completely made up by the celebrity gossip publication or looking to get sued, says Brad and Jen reconnected ... at the 2009 Oscars.
Since then, they have allegedly hooked up four times (which no one saw) - three times in LA and once in New York - and recently shared a passionate kiss!!!!
"I know that he still loves her," says ex-bodyguard Bill, who because he is not a real person for security reasons chooses only to be identified by first name.
CAUGHT! This seems to happen to them bimonthly.
In fact, there was one date that Bill says brought the former spouses closer than ever - and since then, Breniffer's relationship has heated up even more.
This is apparently before she decided Gerard Butler will impregnate her.
Brad and Jen arranged a secret meeting at the trails off of Western Canyon Road in Beverly Hills on December 9. The duo arrived in separate vehicles.
After Brad climbed into the passenger seat of Jen's Bentley, "They were very cozy, clearly embracing," Bill reveals, without saying how he actually saw it.
On "paparazzi watch" at the time, he then advised the pair that they should leave, as a group photographers was supposedly spotted a few miles away.
"Jennifer left first, flashing Brad a quick peace sign and a smile," says Bill. "Brad jogged back to his motorcycle, drove off and went for an hour bike ride."
And the rest, as they say, is revisionist, fabricated history.
oh grow up Carrie and domino, jennifer aniston is one of the most beautiful women in showbiz, people dont defend her for sympathy, its because of ignorant people like you.
Angelina is the worst actress in the world and shes a dog. She has nothing to offer other than STDs.
To bad we can't get a petition to get Jenifer Aniston out of the entertainment field. I don't want to look at that plain jane look anymore. What does she have to offer us.Nothing.
Plain Jane Aniston with her disappearing mouth that just had lip injections so her lips wont disappear all to gether,is looking worse all the time. Take the money Jen and spend it on the poor,since it is not helping you anyways.
The only reason Jenifer Aniston has got a career today.is because she has so much sympathy because Brad Pitt left her for a beautiful woman. What about all the other men that have left her is that Angelina's fault too?
For all of you people that want of know what Jenifer Aniston did to me I will tell you.She tortured me to death with her terrible acting and those plain Jane looks of hers. That is enough to make anyone mad.
For all of you Jenifer aniston nuts who ask what did she do to you. The answere is she tortured me to death by her horrible acting and that plain jane face of hers.That is what she did to me.
So you don't think that Jenifer Aniston didn't have a nose job,boob job,lip injections? I got news for you she has had all of them and more.
The only reason you people defend and think that that plain jane aniston is beautiful is because Brad Pitt left her for the beautiful angelina Jolie.He is happy now and is where he wants to be or he would leave. The only thing that keeps Jenifer Aniston's career going is because she is receiving a sympathy vote from her sympahthizers.Jolie gives one third of her salary to the poor.You wouldn't catch old cheapo Jenifer Aniston doing that.
No talent,ugly and plain,Jenifer Aniston is never going to be as beautiful or as talented as Angelie Jolie. She spends all that money on plastic surgery,she should have donated that money for the poor,let's face it none of that plastic surgery helped that plain Jane at all. Her money would have been better spent on the poor people in this world. God bless Angelie for her big heart,and helping the poor. Jen should learn from her. Jenifer Aniston only spends money on herself. Which doesn't improver her looks.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
March 7, 1967 G. w. OSTRANDER ET AL POROUS-REFRACTORY ENCAPSULANT FOR COILS AND COIL ENCAPSULATED THEREWITH Filed Jan.
INVENTORS GEORGE W. OSTRANDER BY WESLEY W. PENDLETON United States Patent Ofiice 3,308,414 Patented Mar. 7, 1967 POROUS-REFRACTORY ENCAPSULANT FOR CD" S AND COIL ENCAPSULATED THERE- -WITH George W. Ostrander, Muskegon Heights, and Wesiey W. Pendleton, Muskegon, Mich, assignors to Anaconda Wire and Cable Company, a corporation of Delaware Filed Jan. 14, 1964, Ser. No. 337,552 8 Claims. (Cl. 336-205) Our invention relates to electrical apparatus for hightemperature service and particularly to apparatus encapsulated with a porous refractory composition.
In the manufacture of electrical apparatus for hightemperature service it has been disclosed in applications Serial Nos. 173,115, now Patent No. 3,273,225, 207,882, and 178,349 to insulate wire with an organic enamel with which there is associated a high proportion of inorganic insulant such as glass fiber or glass and refractory particles. The organic moiety is decomposed, as by oxidation, and the glass is fused to provide permanent highteinperature insulation for the conductor wires. The encapsulation of these coils has presented important problems. In the first place, since the coils are intended for high-temperature service the temperature changes are extreme and it has not been feasible to encapsulate them in a manner such that the encapsulant would not crack under th'e'severeth'ermal stressesinherent' in'this service. Water would enter the cracks when the COil'WEls cold and becomeentrapped under the encapsulant. Upon heating the coil the pressure of the entrapped steam would further damage the encapsulant and the moisture would form a conducting path between-any pinholes in the insulation.
We have found that if an encapsulant that is porous to water vapor is applied to the coil, any moisture that does seep in is harmlessly expelled when the coil starts to heat, and d oes'not build up damaging pressure. Our porous encapsulant is, furthermore, relatively resilient and can absorb thermal stresses without cracking. When our porous composition is used as the basic encapsulant of a high-temperature coil, an impervious vitreous encapsulating coating can be applied over it and the thermal stress will be so muted by the porous layer that the vitreous layer will not crack as a result of temperature cycling.
An important advantage of our encapsulated coil resides in its behavior during the decomposition of the organic moiety of the insulation. When nonporous vitre'ous encapsulants are used, they must be applied after the organic material has been completely decomposed but, because of its porous nature, our encapsulant can be applied prior to the decomposition of the organic matter since the combustion gasses will pass through the porous mass and oxygen can reach the organic matter to assure complete volatilization through combustion. Our encapsulant can, in fact, be applied during the winding of the coil either by coating it on an individual Wire as it is being wound or, where the coil has a plurality of layers, by applying it to the surface of each layer before the next layer is started.
The encapsulating composition we prefer for the practice of our invention dries into a rigid structure at a low temperature, which is merely sufficient to evaporate and dispel the water content. This is a positive aid in the practical matter of encapsulating coils because it serves to hold them firm during the firing period before either the coil insulation or the encapsulant has fused.
Our encapsulant is in the form of a slip or slurry which, according to its concentration, can be thin or quite pasty. The pasty composition is particularly well adapted for coating a coil during the time it is being wound.
As an encapsulant, because of its porosity, our composition has enough dimensional elasticity to easily with stand the strains caused by thermal expansion and contraction of the coil, and, although we have found that any moisture that enters the coil due to the porosity of the encapsulant is drawn out harmlessly when the coil starts to heat up, if it is deemed necessary that the coil be hermetically sealed, a vitreous coating such, for example as that described in application Serial No. 165,392, now Patent 3,223,553 assigned to the assignee of the present invention, may be applied over the porous encapsulant. Such a combination of encapsulants is truly sealed because the elasticity of the primary porous encapsulant prevents the thermal strain, that might otherwise be transmitted to the vitreous layer, from cracking the latter.
We have invented an electrical apparatus comprising a plurality of turns of Wire coated with inorganic, hightemperature insulation and with a porous refractory encapsulant surrounding the turns. This encapsulant comprises, by weight, -93 parts of A1 0 2-3.5 parts of Cr O 0-6 parts of ZnO, and 3-10 parts of sodium silicate, and is preferably sealed with a nonporous vitreous glaze coating the encapsulant. In its most effective form our encapsulant penetrates between the layers of the coil and can be applied in the form of a slip or slurry comprising, by weight, 67-78 parts of A1 0 1.7-3 parts of Cr O 0-5 parts of ZnO, 5-15 parts (including combined H O) of sodium silicate and 10-30 parts of water.
We have invented a method of forming a coil suitable for very high temperature service comprising the steps of forming a coil from magnet wire having an insulation comprising an organic moiety and an inorganic moiety, covering the coil with a porous encapsulating medium, and then heating the coil so as to decompose the inorganic moiety into gas that passes through the porous medium. In our method we further heat the coil to fuse the inorganic moiety within the porous medium, coat the coil with a vitreous slip and bake the coil so as to harden the slip into a nonporous coating. In a preferred embodiment of our method our encapsulant is in the form of a pasty slurry having the property of drying to form a rigid porous structure and prior to heating the coilhigh enough to decompose the organic matter We heat it only high enough to dry the slurry which forms a firm binding for the coil and insulation.
Our encapsulating composition is compared, on a solids basis, of 80-93% A1 0 2-3.5 Cr O 0-6% ZnO, and 3-10% sodium silicate. The latter is introduced as a solution of 1.36 sp. gr. and has an Slo to Na O ratio of about 3.3. Other silicate-alkali ratios may also be used in the practice of our invention, however, and we do not wish to be limited to the preferred ratio. In the formation of a slurry, the above composition is mixed with 10-30% of (free and combined) water, according to the degree of pastiness or fluidity desired.
.Expressed on a wet basis an encapsulant of our invention comprises:
Parts by weight We have found that following composition, expressed on a wet basis, to be particularly useful. This is shown in Example I.
3 EXAMPLE I Parts by weight A1 70 Cr O 2.2 ZnO 3.2 Sodium silicate (including combined water) 8.8 Free water 15.8
The above mixture is pasty enough to adhere to an insulated wire during the coiling operation and to remain in place, without dripping off, prior to drying.
The composition of Example I is characterized by its ease of application, and structural stability after the water has been evaporated and before fusing. After firing, this encapsulant has chemical stability, structural strength, flexibility to thermal strains, and relative in-solubility in water. This latter quality is due largely to the addition of ZnO. When a test block of the encapsulant of Example I was fired an submerged in boiling water for a period of two hours, its weight loss was only 0.485%, whereas a block of similar composition without the ZnO lost about 2% of its weight in the same test.
A more thorough understanding of our invention may be gained from the appended drawing. In the drawing the figure shows a sectionalized View of an encapsulated coil of our invention.
Referring to the figure, the coil, indicated generally by the numeral 10, is wound on a refractory spool 11 capable of withstanding the firing temperature. An insulated magnet wire 12 comprising a conductor 13 and a glass insulation 14 is wound on the spool in the form of a coil having 3 layers 16, 17, 18. It will, of course, be understood that our invention is not limited to spooled coils or to the particular number of layers shown and will include single layer coils. It will be understood that the coil in the figure represents a condition of insulation 14 after the organic material originally present has been burned or volatlized off. An encapsulant 19 fills the interstices of the coils, coating the surfaces between the layers and forming an overall wall 21 above the surface of the coil. This encapsulant is porous and was fired at the same time the organic matter of the insulation was burned off. Because of its porosity the decomposition gasses were free to disperse without forming bubbles or cracking the outer surface of the encapsulant which may have hardened first. A vitreous glaze layer 22 is shown over the porous encapsulant 21, sealing the coil against moisture or other vapors. This layer 22 was added and fired after the completion of the other elements of the coil 10.
We have invented a new and useful high-temperature coil and method of making the same for which we desire an award of Letters Patent.

We stayed here for 2 nights mid October and we loved it! We found the check-in staff at the front desk to be friendly and helpful. Because, I have a Best Western Platinum loyalty card, we were given a free upgrade to a total beach front room with balcony in the tower section of the hotel. It was fabulous! My husband and I loved sitting out on the balcony watching the beautiful ocean waves. The room was clean, beds comfortable and was in quite good condition. Slight wear here and there but they are doing a reno soon. The only problem I noticed was that the hallway where our room was, smelled musty. No doubt that will be fixed when the reno goes through. The ladies working in the free breakfast room were remarkable in their friendliness and willingness to help. They went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed breakfast. We had no problems with the elevators, except for unsupervised children pushing every button but that is the fault of the parents. The Cocoa Beach pier is right beside the hotel and makes an interesting place to visit for a meal or sightseeing or shopping. We loved our stay and will be back!

Brian and Dianna tied the knot last Saturday with a fairytale wedding. By far one of the nicest weddings I have ever been to, and I'm not just saying that because they are family. It truly was beautiful. So much hand done work and well thought out decor made this beautiful out door wedding a one of a kind just like the couple. The wedding was held at the Graf Barn a family ran venue in Oxnard California. To see more photos from the wedding via Instagram search the hashtag #talbertlove I love these two and am so happy they found each other in life and recognize that their love is real, and sealed the deal.

One of the ideas of getting a 13 tattoo is that getting one tattooed on you wards off bad luck because it tricks bad luck as it approaches and thinks you already have it, in turn making it good luck.

Found it ! So my brother Brian and our nephew Jake were in town the last few days, it was Jakes first time in NY and we were doing as much tourist things as possible. Also on the agenda was find the new September issue of "Freshly Inked Magazine" with my mug on the cover. We found it at the 3rd place we looked, a Barnes & Noble, they had a stack of five, so we decided to leave one. I don't know if you ever had your face on the cover of a magazine at a book store or a newsstand, but let me tell you its a pretty great feeling. I'm very thankful and happy to see some fruits of my labor, I'm blessed. Thanks again to Freshly Inked mag for letting me wear a suit, thanks to all my friends who always support me and wish me well, I'm nothing without you guys. It makes me proud to make my friends proud. We are all self made.

I was pleasantly surprised yesterday with a sneak peak of the September issue of Freshly Inked Magazine, set the hit stands next week. I am very pleased with the picture, and honored to be on the cover.
I always joke that the fashion world has shown more love then my own industry, and then this cover happened out of the blue. But I've always said "I don't represent tattooing, and tattooers…I represent myself, my friends, my family, and hard work" Life is more about personal relationship, then a culture or a career. Be good to people and good things happen.

Best prevent her from trying to flee then. I'd rather she take the option of fight than flight.
"Inari, keep her from running with a Fire Spin!"
Inari wasted no time, recognizing that if I wanted to pin the target in it was probably good not to waste time. Her mouth opened and a fireball rose from her throat. She launched it, but it didn't follow a straight path; rather, it spun in a circle through the air, leaving a thin stream of fire behind it. Whether it hit Flaafy or not wasn't the point, although that would be a bonus. The intention was that once it passed her, it would hit the ground, setting it alight. I wasn't concerned about causing too much damage though. The nature of this attack was much more contained than, say, a Fire Blast. The Fire Spin would form a large ring, encompassing both Pokemon as well as Ash and myself. It wouldn't leave much lasting damage other than perhaps a circle of scorched grass, and that would grow back easily by the next season.

Bienvenue, McGranite State visitors; officials mull naming rights to welcome centers
It may sound funny, but it's not far-fetched, according to a program to sell naming rights to roughly a dozen welcome and information centers the state hopes to have operating by January.
In 2013, state legislators looked at the merits of establishing a committee to weigh the merits of selling naming rights for these structures.
"Other states are just beginning to dip their toes into the pool when it comes to ideas like this," said McGuire.
McGuire's bill, HB 534, would have allowed the DOT commissioner to "issue a request for proposals (RFP) to sell naming rights for a particular structure, including but not limited to bridges, overpasses, and exits, to the highest bidder." The Legislature's website lists the bill's status as "Retained in Committee." All bills retained in committee for action shall be acted on during the second-year of session unless the House of Representatives suspends the rules.
"We are open to any kind of innovative financing initiatives to meet our funding challenges that would help address New Hampshire's transportation needs," Boynton wrote.
