|Air Quality ● Laboratory Services ● Municipal Facilities ● Waste Management ● Water Quality ● EHS Home
North Dakota has 44 providers of mammography services in 61 cities and 82 locations providing approximately 70,000 mammography examinations each year (click here to see a map of mammography locations). Twenty-six cities offer mammography services daily, Monday through Friday. Thirty-five cities offer a somewhat limited service by one of five mobile systems operating throughout North Dakota. Mobile service providers schedule services based on utilization. Frequency can vary from weekly to only once per year for a particular location. Click Here for an alphabetical listing, by city, along with contact telephone numbers for all locations.
United States Congress passed the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) in 1992 after the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee found numerous shortcomings in the quality of mammography services. The committee identified inconsistencies in the quality of equipment, staff qualifications, quality assurance procedures and oversight in mammography facilities which threatened the quality of services across the country.
The goal of MQSA was to create a system to correct these shortcomings and ensure that quality mammography would be available to patients everywhere in the country. At the same time, however, MQSA was not intended to close down facilities; it was intended to help them raise their standards of performance. Reducing availability of mammography through overbearing regulation would defeat the underlying purpose of MQSA.
The need to improve our ability to fight breast cancer also led to the development of the final regulations published October 28, 1997, in the Federal Register. These final regulations were developed through a cooperative effort with affected medical communities, consumers and the National Mammography Quality Assurance Advisory Committee (NMQAAC). Interim regulations allowed the MQSA to take effect October 1, 1994.
The US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Division of Mammography Quality and Radiation Programs oversees the requirements of MQSA. MQSA requires mammography facilities to have accreditation from an approved accreditation body, be certified by the FDA and undergo an annual inspection.
The North Dakota Radiation Control Program (RCP) has a contract with the FDA to inspect mammography facilities in North Dakota. The MQSA inspectors must be certified by the FDA. Certification requires 6 weeks training, as well as the passing of both written and performance evaluations. North Dakota has two certified inspectors. To maintain certification, inspectors must perform a minimum of 12 inspections annually and obtain 15 hours of mammography education every three year period. The FDA conducts audit inspections with each inspector on an annual basis. Annual facility inspections have been conducted since 1992.

Travelling to singapore during the
Hello again!!
As all of you should know from my previous post, I'm a Aggressive Inline Rollerblader. And if you're a skateboarder, BMX rider or a roller like me, and if you travel to or is living in Singapore, and wanting to shred, THERE IS ONLY ONE PLACE TO GO. EAST COAST SKATE PARK. I'm not trying to brag about it but honestly and seriously, it is a WORLD CLASS skate park, worthy of your time and money just to travel here to have a session! I kid you not!
It has EVERYTHING any extreme sport enthusiast would want. An awesome street course with so much flow, a big and deep vert bowl, a combination bowl, curbs and ledges of all heights and length and even handrails! It is street and park fused into ONE location. What more can we ask for? And the ultimate part is…it's absolutely FREE!
Unfortunately, there is a flaw to it. It is the weather. Singapore is a tropical island. When there's tropical, there is rain. And boy do we get lots of it. It's very unpredictable as the skate park is located by the beach. Rain clouds tend to be blown over the area. It may be sunny one moment but before you know it, it starts to rain. But do not fret! It can rain buckets for hours on end, but once the last drop of rain hits the floor, give it 20-30 minutes and most of the park should have dried up!
The park is opened 24/7. Super hot in the day if it's not raining yet cool and breezy at night. There are flood lights that turn on at
Hello Everyone ^^
i am the new part time staff in G4 Station ^^
My name is Amerlise ^^
I am currently studying in Management Development Insitution Of Singapore
Taking Hotel & Resort Management
Hey guys! I will be away from G4 Station starting from 28th June 2010 to serve my country for 2 week! So you wouldn't be able to see me around and if you have any enquiries, please contact us instead of me so that i can serve in peace T_T
Although i will miss all my colleagues and guests here, but serving the nation to me is really meaningful and fun! Taking a break from all the frontdesk/supervising role and heading out to the jungle to train back my killer instinct ^^
Right after my reservist, i will be away for another 1 week to this beautiful island called phuket for a short vacation. Look forward to see a tan and muscular Waren when you are here in G4 Station after 20th July =) Book here now!
In G4, we pride ourselves when it comes to our work and the experiences of our guests. Not to mention the most important two elements, safety and comfort. When any of our guests check in, my Team G4 will painstakingly yet professionally explain the Do's and Dont's in the premises.
We have 25 cameras on the walkways and 24-hours ground staff so you can really be assured of having a pleasant stay with us.
With that, I'd like to introduce to you our house rules in the hostel that either irks you or makes you feel safe
The House Rules
Checking in and out Timing
Our earliest check-in time is 1pm and the latest check out time is at 12pm. This is to ensure that your beds are always prim and proper (We need that time allowance)
Strictly No Smoking
Our G4 hostel is a no-smoking hostel. Smoking could be done in designated smoking areas.
We emphasis on being environmental friendly and ask of the guests to turn off the lights and air conditioning when they leave the room.
Room/ Dormitory Limitations
No food in the bedrooms, you don't want any bed bugs or funny creepy crawlers to come do you? We have small little pantry areas for you to use.
You're also not allowed to bring external guests up into the hostel. I think this is only fair and in case your friends will might cause any trouble.
Do Unto Others as You Would Have Them Do Unto You
No noise zone after 10pm, so others can sleep. Sanitizing of hands for our internet kiosk stations is a must so you'll have a clean keyboard and mouse to use. (Of course our staff will still clean them on a daily basis, but doesn't it feel better? )
Luggage and Personal Belongings
Though this is a safe hostel, with all cameras and locker cabinets, you're still advised to keep important things with you. Things such as passports and cash yada yada (:
Our Team G4 Rights
We reserve the rights to invite you to leave our premises should you violate or cause disturbances to your fellow backpacker's. We're powerful (err, kinda)
Download a copy of our G4 Station's House Rules
Recently a guest was being banned in G4 for not adhering to our house rules. Currently there are 4 banned from staying with us. Luckily for everyone, every guests that has stayed with us are pleasant!
Now holla me if you have any feedbacks or inputs in which could make any backpacker's stay a better experience with G4 (:
Yup, it is the time of the year again. The one and only F1 Night Race right here in Singapore during 24th-26th September 2010.
Will Lewis Hamilton top the chart again? Or will other top racers like Fernando Alonso & Kimi Raikkonen be able to turn the tides? Book
Now that you're keen on coming to Singapore, FOOD must be one key attraction that you must never, ever lose your emphasis on as Singapore is a multi-cultural country with high standards of many culinary dishes.
I'm not a good reviewer when it comes to food but these are the sites which I highly recommend that you could visit before hitting the Singapore shore so you could plan your food itinerary.
Singapore Food Blogs
I Eat I Shoot I Post – The number one site introduced to me by Selina. This ardent site shoots unbelievable food photos and describes the food reviewed down to its bones. Chilling but true, this blog covers most of Singapore hawker food and you JUST HAVE to visit it.
Lady Iron Chef – Brad, a photographer who specialises in food shots has been writing this food blog since March 2007. Great reviews of food joints in Singapore, he also has his ways with his food photos that somewhat makes me drool easily. (Of course he should ain't it? Since he's a photographer.. duh)
J23KBlogs - Reviews of the latest hip food joint to visit coupled with great photo shots by Justin. (I'm starting to wonder if there's any trend to this hmm)
Singapore Food Sites
HungryGoWhere – Another undisputed leader in online Singapore food ratings. Apparently spreading wings to other countries like Malaysia, Hong Kong and Australia.
InSing.com – I was surprised, but InSing is doing well even for its food review sections. Check this review site where the community is getting bigger and opinions are getting stronger for Singapore food.
Have you got any new sites to suggest to this list? Feel free to share with me so it could benefit everybody!
?????????Nicole?G4 senior part-timer.^0^
Fancy a holiday trip during September, October & November in Singapore?
Good news from G4 Station as we introduce early bird promotional rates!

Watertown's zoo is looking for an upgrade. Plans on what to do with the aviary at the New York State Zoo at Thompson Park has left the city council with a project plan that could cost them more than they bargained for. While the council thinks the project is long overdue, our Carmella Mataloni tells us the price tag is concerning them.
WATERTOWN, N.Y. -- It's a landmark at the Thompson Park zoo, but it's in need of a drastic makeover.
"It actually gives us a new facility that our regular average guests can utilize," said John Wright, Executive Director of New York State Zoo.
The zoo's aviary has been trying to get a different look for many years. City engineers and zoo officials have come up with a project design plan that would turn the wooden eyesore into a stone-faced column, open-air pavilion. But the $435,000 cost is concerning council members.
"The question is cost and we are coming into budget and we want to make sure that support is not just an open blank check of support," Jeffery Smith, Watertown City Council.
But it's the need for the project that is keeping zoo officials going. The pavilion would be a meeting place for educational classes, presentations and special occasions. Plans also included an audio-visual system and a wall to play the videos on.
"The position of that building was why we wanted that real estate freed up because it is very centralized to all of our other operational hubs like the entrance and concession area," said Wright.
Council members agreed that while are keeping an open mind about the current project. With some different options, they might be able to see a reduction in the final price.
"The stamp concrete, do we need to put it where the aviary is now? Those are options we need to look at, cedar roof versus a metal roof. Those are some of the alternatives that I think they are going to look at," said Smith.
Council also suggested engineers look into a smaller pavilion design to possibly reduce the price.
A bid packet will now be made and until those numbers come back, it's a waiting game for both zoo officials and city council.

This phone is great for both personal and business use you wont need the 8900 curve because this does the same thing the only difference is the camera and screen and this one looks much better and you save money . The music quality is fantastic and easy to use with the REWIND, PLAY/PAUSE, FORWARD key's on top of the handset. I highly recommend this phone to any one thats thinking of buying one!.

Jul 13, 2007

Could we see some more use cases to illustrate how the methods besides getUri() would be used and how they would behave?

For example, in which situations does the isValid() method return false, or does it always throw an exception if it does not return true?

Looks good so far; I look forward to seeing some more details fleshed out a bit more, and then we should be able to drive this into the incubator very soon! <ac:emoticon ac:name="smile" />

Jul 25, 2007

Thanks for your comment, Darby.

I've added some use cases and more detailed description of isValid() method.

I've also changed the scope of getQuery method to protected.

Jul 29, 2007

I create a small view helper for this once, heh...

Aug 03, 2007
<ac:macro ac:name="note"><ac:parameter ac:name="title">Zend Comments</ac:parameter><ac:rich-text-body>

This proposal is approved for incubator development.

Web service components can be tricky to unit test. Generally, the more unit test code coverage that we can get without requesting the live web services for each test run, the better. In many cases, you can utilize Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Test for injecting content for testing without querying live web services. Please see unit test suites for other Zend_Service_* components for examples.

Any tests that do utilize online web services should be off by default, using directives from TestConfiguration.php.dist.
</ac:rich-text-body></ac:macro>
Mar 18, 2009

No updates on this one for the past 6 months. Archiving for now.

Aug 14, 2009

I don't see why this could not just be a view helper. It seems simple enough to do with out needing a way to fetch the data from gravatar. I would like to take over this proposal and switch it up to be a view helper instead of a full blown service component.

Does anyone have any objections to it?

Aug 26, 2009

Jon,

I've written a View Helper for this already. Send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com if you want a copy of the code. I'd like to refactor it a little, and even thought about separating it into a View Helper that depends on the Service to be abstracted out a little better.

Dec 18, 2009

I have also created a Zend_View_Helper however, I think a Service could be created for this with the XMLRpc Gravatar service http://en.gravatar.com/site/implement/xmlrpc

I would like to revive this proposal and create the service. I think the helper is good for most people but the administrative handling of your avatar can be done through the gravatar service.

Dec 19, 2009

I think the possiblity to set a Zend_Cache to the component for caching the answer of the http-requests would be nice.

Another nice thing out of the context of the proposal would be a component which allows local caching of the images so that there is no need for including external images.

Small Press Week Goes Epic...RPG
I often mention how much I enjoy Dark Matter Studios' ENnie-nominated Epic Role Playing Game, which I consider one of the best-designed rules-medium RPGs out there. Now, I've written a lengthy review of the game before, but to be honest, I know not everyone has the attention span or time for long of the review. So I've come up with 5 great reasons you'll want to check out this small-press gem.
1. In-depth Character Generation—With Tables! My love of random tables and charts knows no limits. There are all sorts of fun tables to roll on during character generation—social class, apprenticeship events, family background, and personality, to name just a few. Best of all, During every step of chargen, there's a checklist on the page, making sure you're on track and giving a little more background as to precisely why you're doing what you're doing.
2. Guilds & Professions. Instead of your normal structured classes, Epic has guilds and professions. I consider this one of the best parts of the game. If you're used to a fighter class, you may want to check out the Constable of Brightwall for a law-oriented martial character. You could also check out any number of listed mercenary organizations, such as the Archers of the Scarlet Mark. Or, you could create your own—creating guilds and professions (including generic ones) takes only a couple of minutes. There are dozens of Guilds included in Epic to start you out. Each guild also gets potential access to secret Masteries and Grandmasteries (for example, a thief character's organization may name him Nightmaster over the beggars and thieves of his guild, and give him a 10% cut of their earnings—an example from one of my own games). Epic gives you a lot of character hooks within a small space with their guilds and professions.
3. Incredible Magic. Seriously, there's not one, but 6 incredible, diverse paths of magic. After you read them, I think you'll want to try them. Here's a quick description:
Alchemy: Deals with the manipulation of chemistry through both scientific and mystical means. Alchemists can specialize in theory regarding Gases, Liquids, Solids, or overall Catalysts (Reaction). Examples of what an alchemist can do are create maelstroms in water, stop items from deteriorating, liquefy targets (!), weaken materials, reduce mass of an item, and all the other things alchemists who lived in our world wished they could do.
Mentalism: This discipline of the mind requires great concentration and will of thought to affect the user as well as the outside world. Very strong against sentient creatures, it is very limited else wise. One practicing mentalism might be able to detach his body from physical pain, cause others to fall into peaceful or terror-filled dreams, project their psyche for a bird's eye view, or attack the inner workings of an opponent. Unlike other games, Mentalism in Epic is on par with its arcane counterparts--not too powerful, not too weak in comparison.
Metaphysics: Metaphysicians may choose specialties regarding thermodynamics, gravity, electromagnetism, or even submaterial theories. Arcane reasoning bends the laws of the universe to the whim of metaphysics. One can nullify gravity, change inertia, and warp time and space among many other abilities in this realm. It's like Isaac Newton and Morgan Le Fay had a love child (shudder).
Philtrology: Herbalism and the study of flora and fauna, and imbuing and enhancing properties found in nature. These folks can create potions and compounds of deadly poison, healing drafts, and miraculous effects on the human body. The philtrology section includes a list of herbs/poisons to put the old Rolemaster one to shame. Those in this discipline can often use said herbs and elements naturally for lessened effect. Creating potions is great fun, and leads to this being one of my favorite aspects of Epic.
Shen: Shen has a feeling of an oriental discipline about it, but is practiced by those ranging from woodland folk to religious types. At its heart, it is the focusing of body and mind together through years of discipline. Users of Shen may increase physical performance to pull of incredible jumps or martial feats, make deadly attacks, or improve their defense against both the physical and arcane.
Theurgy: Simply, flat-out demented and brutal. Also referred to as the Black Arts. Often use ghostly or demonic power from beyond as a source of energy. They use a familiar to focus their casting energy. Theurgy has the full range of mystical variants, but is extremely twisted.
There are also rules for making new magical variants.
4. Easy (But Robust) Mechanics. You're looking at a base 2d10, and added skills vs. a target number or base rolls. The 2d10 simulates a bit more of a bell curve than a 1d20, which may be a feature or bug for some. But for being a definitely rules-medium game, learning what to do is simple. This extends to combat, where an awesome damage tracking system and fairly rough melee rules, charts for critical hits/misses, and lots of combat options manage to give you lots to do without feeling like there's a lot of game to memorize.
5. Plenty of "Extras". Epic has an entire chapter dedicated to mass combat, a bestiary, reference tables in the back along with an index, a healthy goods & services chapter, more tables, campaigning tips, and so much more. This game has sort of the same "all in there" feeling to me of the AD&D DM's Guide--pretty much everything has been addressed.
If anything in here has piqued your interest, I urge you to read my review, check out the Dark Matter website and ask some questions, or check out their Epic Quick Start—a fully playable game for only $5 (and a lot more game than you get in many "quick starts"), as well as their many on-site freebies. For some people, the Epic Role Playing Game will "click", and you're going to have a great time with it. Have your 2d10s at the ready!

text: 2 Misleading game titlemikehp | 21/03/2013 | See all mikehp's reviews (1)The game is awful.I advise you not to buy this game. The title is misleading because it doesn't look like survival to me. It isn't a free world map, you can't drive, some doors are stick glued and killing zombies is easier than it seems (yeah, I know they're stupid but come on... If you want to make a good game, you got to make it difficult. Otherwise is just going to be an easy game to pass and with nothing big to accomplish).Just because it has "The Walking Dead" in the title it doesn't mean it's going to be good. It's like an offense to the show and to Daryl himself. You don't get attached to the characters and the graphics are PS2 alike. The areas look repetitive and are small. The objectives look all the same and it gets boring after a while.3/10

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In Excess Of $100,000 Investing In Uni-Pixel, Inc. To Contact The Firm
NEW YORK, June 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential securities fraud at Uni-Pixel, Inc. ("Uni-Pixel" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: UNXL).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120119/MM38856LOGO)
The investigation focuses on whether Uni-Pixel made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, the investigation focuses on whether the Company failed to disclose that the terms of several of its licensing and manufacture and supply agreements were immaterial and/or legally unenforceable and that UniBoss, Uni-Pixel's key product, had major design defects.
On May 20, 2013, the Company announced that the appearance of products utilizing UniBoss touch sensors would be postponed from the third to the fourth quarter of 2013, due to the delays of one of its collaborators. Following this news, Uni-Pixel's stock price dropped more than 9.5% to $23.47 per share on May 21, 2013. Then, on May 31, 2013, Uni-Pixel's stock plunged approximately 23% after a Seeking Alpha report raised quality issues with the touch mesh employed in the UniBoss.Request more information now by clicking here: www.faruqilaw.com/UNXL.

Spider silk, termite towers and more--examine the extraordinary accomplishments of the original engineers.
- See how these animal engineers learn their crafts.
- Examine the mysteries of structures like beehives and anthills.
- A global tour featuring the natural world's greatest builders.
Busy as a beaver is no exaggeration--particularly if those beavers are the ones who built a half-mile long dam in Three Forks, Montana. The industrious mammals are no lock for the title of nature's best builder, however. Termite mounds in Africa have been known to reach 20' tall and weigh in at several tons. Bees work together to build massive hives filled with hexagonal cells aligned according to the earth's magnetic fields. And male bower birds scavenge the countryside for attractive baubles with which to decorate the homes they create to woo their wives.
MODERN MARVELS® reminds us that man has no monopoly when it comes to construction. Naturalists reveal what we know about these ambitious creations, engineers examine the properties of materials like spider silk, and dramatic films take us inside the teeming subterranean metropolises beneath everyday anthills, the homes beavers shelter behind their stout dams, and the many other remarkable creations of NATURE'S ENGINEERS.

Smashing Diamond Cat Pendant Brooch
The Victorian era can be viewed as having given rise to the concept of having a dog or cat as a family pet. Before that time the cat was often relegated to ridding the premises of vermin and dogs had a working role as protector and assistant to the hunt. The close relationship which developed between human and animal led to the fabrication of animal-related jewelry. Although most of this was dedicated to the dog, there was a following who truly appreciate the type of companionship a cat provided.
Rendered in the style we have come to regard as Georgian revival, this late 19th century pendant brooch shares many of those characteristics. The silver-topped 14k yellow gold form is set closed back with one hundred and one (101) old mine, rose and cushion cut diamonds (total estimated diamond weight 1.45 carats). A laurel wreath and garland design accentuates the flatter, two-dimensional quality reflective of this style. Sitting within the wreath is a 14k yellow gold cat playing with a diamond studded ball cat toy. The original diamond brooch bale is removable and can be worn separately.
Date: Circa 1880.
Measurements: 2 inches (5 cm) in total length by 15/16 of an inch (2.4 cm) in width. Weight of 13.1 grams (8.4 dwt).
Condition: Excellent; one diamond is chipped visible with a loupe; hinge replaced long ago.
Note: Diamonds have not been removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting. All diamond weights have been approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weights.

The difficult lending environment has caused loan-to-deposit ratios to reach non-optimal levels for many community banks. This case study features a bank that was ordered by the FDIC to stop lending and improve capital ratios by shedding deposits.
Despite the recent decrease in bank failures, many smaller community banks are under stress. While there might not be a single solution to aid these troubled institutions, many may be overlooking an opportunity to raise non-interest income at the holding-company level. Some community banks are overfunded with expensive CDs that were sold when interest rates were higher. By offering fixed annuities, banks with impaired lending capabilities can reduce deposits, improve leverage ratios and build a source of non-interest income.
The challenging lending environment caused this community bank to enter a cease and desist agreement with the FDIC. The banks lending capacity was weakened, affecting its leverage ratio; the balance sheet had too many deposits to loans. The bank needed to reduce deposits to bring them in line with slow-growing asset base; retain clients while maintaining customer satisfaction; and generate non-interest income.
The bank was able to address this problem by offering fixed annuities to customers. After entering the cease and desist agreement with the FDIC, this privately owned bank faced a significant challenge. It was ordered to reduce exposure to commercial real estate, land development and acquisition, and construction loans. This order significantly impaired its overall lending capacity. An inability to lend to its developed customers left the bank overfunded with deposits and with an immediate need to improve its Tier 1 capital ratio.
Solution Description
In an effort to improve its leverage ratio, the bank offered fixed annuities to clients that had CDs reaching maturity. This program allowed the bank to shed its most expensive deposits, some of which were brokered deposits, while improving its capital levels.
As a new entrant into the annuity marketplace, the bank licensed existing employees at each of its branches to sell annuities. The LBEs contacted bank clients with CDs that were reaching maturity. Any surrender charges were waived if the client moved out of a targeted CD to an annuity.
Quarterly contests were created to reward top selling LBEs (e.g., the top selling LBE received an iPad). The bank designed an internal referral program that rewarded employees for asking customers if they would be interested in discussing annuities with the banks LBE. For every no a teller received, the teller earned $1 and for every yes the teller earned $25. The annuity program had the support and participation of senior management.
Getting Started
Offering an entirely new line of business to customers may seem daunting. An insurance marketing organization can provide a head start in the implementation process. It is essential to choose a partner firm that has proven annuity experience, knowledge and expertise. To significantly increase speed to market, enhance the probability for success, and offer clients the expertise they need, look for an organization that provides:
In todays environment, there are still many opportunities for banks to generate non-interest income. Consider a program that can help your clients earn a higher rate of return on their money and increase the opportunity to maintain their loyalty.

Trace the development of the massive machines that have transformed a season's labor into the work of mere hours.
- A fascinating look at the mega-machines that have remade American agriculture.
- Head onto the factory floor to see how they are made
- See why some jobs remain beyond the capabilities of even the latest equipment.
Cutting, digging, picking, stripping, shaking and raking--whatever the crop, there's a custom machine to harvest it. It all began with hand picking, but today it's often one man and one machine harvesting hundreds of acres in a matter of hours.
From Ancient Egypt to automated "squeezers," "shakers" and electric eyes, MODERN MARVELS® follows the never-ending advancement of mankind's methods for transferring crops from the field to the table. Go on the factory floor as modern mega-machines are assembled and see how 21st technology is helping ease the delicate jobs that must still be done by hand.
Farmers detail the advances that have transformed their lives and jobs, and engineers offer a sneak peak at the next generation of HARVESTING technology.

The Worm Factory Composter makes it easy to recycle your kitchen scraps and paper. Worms work 24/7 turning household waste into nutrient-rich compost for your garden. Designed to expand vertically, the Worm Factory 360 houses thousands of worms, allowing a high composting capacity in a very small footprint.
Features & Benefits:
- Makes compost from food scraps and paper waste
- Comes with 4 stacking trays, can be expanded up to 7 trays
- Houses thousands of red wiggler worms
- Worms consume 5-8 pounds of waste each week!
- Easy to assemble and low-maintenance
- Designed for year round composting
- Odorless operation
- Built-in leachate (liquid fertilizer) collector tray with spigot
- Colors: black, green, or terracotta
- Made in the USA from recycled plastic
- 10 year warranty
Worm Factory 360 Includes:
- Worm Factory 360 Bin: 4 stacking trays, worm ladder, base with spigot
- Worm Bedding Starter Kit: pumice, coconut coir, mineral rock dust
- Accessory bundle: thermometer, hand rake, and scraper
- Illustrated instruction booklet
- Instructional DVD guide
1 Pound Red Wiggler Worms (+$30.00): Add worms to your order and you will get a voucher inside your Worm Factory for prepaid red wiggler worms! Once you setup your Worm Factory, follow the instructions to claim your worms, and they will be rush delivered to your door!
How It Works:
Worm Factory 360 is simple to set up and operate. It takes less than 15 minutes a week to maintain. Simply add a handful of worms and your organic waste such as kitchen scraps and shredded paper to the bottom tray. The worms will start processing the food. Once the bottom tray is filled add another tray. The worms migrate upward to the newest food source leaving the bottom tray full of nutrient‐rich compost.
As waste is broken down, moisture filters through the system, taking nutrient‐rich particles with it. This makes it possible to harvest organic liquid fertilizer right from the spigot.
Your first tray will take about three months to become fully composted by the worms. After the first tray, you can harvest compost once a month. Finished compost can be used in your garden, raised beds, or planters.
What can be composted?
Adding household waste to the Worm Factory is easy. Just open the lid and toss the food in! The goal is to recycle what you usually throw away. Add waste from fruits, vegetables, grains, eggshells, coffee grounds, tea bags, paper, leaves, and yard clippings. Avoid adding food scraps from dairy, meat, and citrus items. Feed your worms about 50% food scraps and 50% fiber (e.g. paper or dry leaves). This creates an ideal environment for worms to convert waste into valuable compost.
Caring for your worms
Worms are very low maintenance. They will be happy as long as they are fed, have enough moisture, and kept at a temperature between 40-80 degrees. Worms should be protected from freezing and direct sun. Worms prefer the dark – they will burrow into the compost when exposed to light.
No need to feed your worms every day – just add scraps to your bin as you have them. Worms can survive up to two weeks without new food. They can also eat up to half their weight in food every day! This means that if you begin with a pound of worms, they can get through a half pound of food every day.
As your worm population grows, they will process food at a faster rate. Worms will reproduce inside the bin according to their space limitations. They will regulate their own population, so you never need to worry about overcrowding your bin.
Mineral rock dust is included to adds nutrients to your finished compost. It has also been proven to be beneficial to the worm composting process.
10 Year Manufacturer's Warranty
The Worm Factory provides an easy way to recycle household waste, saving it from the landfill. Plus, it produces nutrient-rich organic compost for your garden and improves soil fertility.

Questions about the Worm Factory 360 Composter
4 Item(s)
- From Susi at 12/8/13 8:53 PM
- From Joe at 1/4/14 11:58 AM
- I live in central Texas. Any ideas for keeping the factory cool in the summer?
- Try locating the composter out of direct light, against a north-facing wall. Be sure there is adequate air circulation. You don't want the bedding temperatures to rise above 85°. Other ways to help keep your vermicomposter cool are:
~ Make sure composter remains moist.
~To increase airflow through the compost to cool it, you can place pieces of wood no more than ¼" thick between trays, separating them. This works best at night, and if you find that you need more air movement, you can add a fan. Just be careful that conditions don't dry out.
~You can use ice in emergencies – place ice cubes in the upper tray and cover with a layer of newspaper. The ice will melt and filter down through the lower trays, cooling them. Only do this in an emergency and be careful of your compost getting too moist.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From JoB12 at 2/5/14 1:48 PM
- Do worms not come with this purchase? Is that why it costs an additional $30 for the red wigglers? Or are the red wigglers just different worms that we can purchase instead of what is given to us with this purchase?
If it happens to make a bit more compost than a person currently needs, how can we store the extra compost?
- The Worm Factory 360 Composter only comes with worms if you specify that option. (Some people prefer to get the composter but without the worms. They plan to get their worms locally, or already have worms from a second composter.) Yes, there is an additional cost of $30 for the worms.
You can store extra compost by putting it in a garbage can, with lid, or any other lidded container, plastic or metal. The compost will further break down and have the consistency of moist soil when you are ready to use it. The compost can be stored for months this way.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- Do worms not come with this purchase? Is that why it costs an additional $30 for the red wigglers? Or are the red wigglers just different worms that we can purchase instead of what is given to us with this purchase?
- From Eddie at 3/17/14 11:50 AM
- Will the worms reproduce over time? eg, would the composter begin to work faster? Will we have to worry about removing worms if the population grows too much?
- Yes, worms will reproduce inside the unit according to their space limitations and the amount of food they are fed. The worms will regulate their population so you don't have to worry about overpopulation in your bin. Your worm population will double every three months if they have healthy conditions, allowing them to consume more food. If they are too hot, too cold, or don't have enough food, they will slow down on reproduction until ideal conditions return.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No

Cross the West on the road that stands alongside the Pony Express as one of the nation's most famous.
- Travel its remaining stretches.
- Explore the legend and the lore of the old highway from Chicago to Los Angeles.
- See rare photos and footage of its construction.
It stretched for 2,400 miles across eight states from Illinois to California and 2,400 miles It represented an American myth--that something better lay over the rainbow. Today, one can trace its remnants along byways, bridges, and abandoned roadside attractions.
Route 66 began in the early 20th century when a confluence of technologies--automotive, steel construction, and concrete paving--merged with population explosion, westward migration, and prosperity after WWI. The federal government responded with highway bills that converted existing roadways into an interstate called Route 66. Later, WWII highlighted the need for a strategic system similar to Germany's Autobahn--wider, safer, and more advanced. As federal and state governments worked on a superhighway, millions sought "their kicks on Route 66." By 1985, the abandoned roadway no longer "officially" existed, yet it remains a destination for nostalgic travelers wishing to recapture a simpler, more adventurous era.

Available Projects
Well folks, I think I've settled on my home surveillance software and it's called Xeoma. As part of my prepping, I had been thinking about setting up a surveillance system for quite a while; recently I decided to just start somewhere and build one up. So I got started.
Where to start?
I had an USB webcam lying around, so I mounted it in an inconspicuous spot where it covered the front of the house pretty well. So far so good, but what next? I needed some software. I figured I'd need to:
- capture video when something/someone is detected approaching the house
- record video files locally and send them offsite
- forward a live stream so I can view it remotely
- trigger on motion detection to reduce the data avalanche
- manage multiple cameras with separate configuration and policy settings
…and I wanted to do all this on a Macintosh. I looked around for a solution, first trying a few free webcam apps -- that was fun at first but didn't come close to addressing my laundry list. Next I looked at SecuritySpy, which seemed excellent and professional… but ouch, what a price tag: hundreds of dollars for a minimal system. (And it has some really obnoxious features in the trial version!)
Next I looked at a few other free or demo webcam apps, but again found them lacking.
Then I found Xeoma. Wow, those clever Russians! This software is reasonably priced ($20 and up) and seems to address all my needs:
- monitor multiple cameras
- motion detection with various configuration and masking options
- send to various destinations including files, FTP servers, webservers, etc.
- alarms, app launch, and various other filters and features
The drag-and-drop filter graph that configures your system is very intuitive and easy to use. For example, the following graph routes a single camera to a motion detector, then on to the preview/archive module (the top path) and also through a timestamp filter and to a file output module. The raw camera output (not filtered by the motion detector) is also output using the web server module. The whole setup took less than a minute to do.
Screenshot: http://www.homesecurity.treffl...ages/xeoma_graph.png
Sadly, the user interface and documentation is a bit challenged for English clarity. (Like the control labeled "file storage time"… is this how often to store files? How long to keep them? When they are updated? It is not clear.) But these problems are very minor, and overall I had no problem figuring it out.
I have ordered an infrared camera, and am looking forward to building out my Xeoma-based home security system. If you want to check out Xeoma yourself, download the free trial version (Win, Mac, or Linux) at:
I love this thing. Earlier today I came home, went into the study, and then watched myself come home! Good fun. Now, back to playing with my Xeoma system.
That was a lot of effort to post a couple of links.
Well JB, I wanted to put a screenshot where you see the first link, but was unable to. So I hosted the screenshot somewhere else and put a link to it. I hope you enjoy it if you go there, I really do like tinkering with their filter graph.
I mean networked wireless
techy geeky hobbyist, a Mac'er
I'm using Xeoma as well.
I've heard also about ZoneMinder being a good alternative too, but it only goes with Linux. And I'm a Macintosh user forever
the simplicity of the GUI is really impressive.
the only thing that sucks is the fact it overloads the system perceptibly.
but my overall opinion is - EXELLENT
Like the features and the functional in general. Good, that I can easily access the machine and the program settings at any given time via my mobile. Too bad, they still don't have an iOS app! How is it possible? I'm still on a trial mode, but I'm considering buying the license next week (stiil have to figure out how many cameras I will need). If all works fine, I'll defibitely buy it, cause the price is tasty. But will see how it goes.
thanx for the review. nice stuff. works great with all my cams
Thanks for sharing your experience with the others. I've read plenty of nice reviews of this software and it seemed pretty interesting. So I downloaded it and am testing it with 2 Axxon cameras (ip) at the moment. All works fine, the cams have been autodetected, but I'm still trying to adjust all the settings.(Have some issues with motion detector settings)
But, in general, I like it a lot. If all works fine as it does now, I'll definitely purchase a license.
P.S. Love the program interface! So good for tablets!
Thanks for the post. We are looking to upgrade the security system we have at the office and I might give this one a try.
WE should retitle this thread as "The Spamfest"
IP Camera Viewer is a excellent free software to view your IP and USB cameras. The interface is intuitive and it works well with every model of IP & USB camera.

A thymectomy is surgery to remove the thymus gland. This gland is located in the upper portion of the chest, behind the breastbone.
Thymus Gland
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The thymus gland helps immune cell growth. It is usually active when you are an infant, but its function reduces as you get older. The thymus acts abnormally when a person has myasthenia gravis . A thymectomy is used to treat myasthenia gravis.
A thymectomy may also be done if the thymus has a tumor, which is called thymoma. These types of tumors are associated with myasthenia gravis.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
General anesthesia will be given. You will be asleep during the procedure.
There are three common methods:
You will be taken to a recovery room. There, you will be monitored for any complications.
About 1-3 hours
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
The usual length of stay is 1-3 days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
You will be given fluids and medication through an IV. You will be instructed to practice deep breathing, coughing, and frequent turning. Nurses will measure your muscle strength and breathing ability to determine the effectiveness of the surgery.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
The recovery time varies from person to person, depending on the surgical approach. It may take as little as 1-2 weeks or as long as three months before you can return to work or school. Ask your doctor about when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water. Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions.
If the surgery was done for myasthenia gravis:
Call your doctor if any of the following occur:

We love our tees and hoodies so much we could talk about them all day, but that'd be a bit weird. So we'll just say that we're immensely proud of the quality of all our garments and the super futuristic technology that creates our unique t-shirts and hoodie prints. Our t-shirts are long lasting, individual and extremely useful for abiding by public decency laws.
We advise you cold wash your garments and hang them out to dry. It'll keep them super soft, looking their best and it's even good for the environment.
Slim fit, order a size up if you'd like it less fitting. If you like your hoodies baggy, go two sizes up.
