Industry Advancements
Their Affect on Overlaminates
By Cassandra Carnes
Part 2 of 2
As digital print technologies advance, many new ink sets are designed to provide extra durability that is typically offered by protective films and coatings. While these advancements may add some durability, they will not displace the role of laminates, in terms of both protection and image enhancement.
�Even the most advanced inks cannot protect a vehicle graphic from a tree branch or other abrasion like laminates can,� says Jennifer Greenquist, inks and warranties business manager, 3M Graphics Market Center. She explains that since the introduction of inkjet inks, 3M has not required a protective coating on all types of graphic issues, but the abrasion protection and UV resistance they provide help ensure that the customer�s image look as good as it did the day it was printed.
�Consider the impact of shipping and reusing a graphic�preventing edge crush and fading to the media have nothing to do with ink sets,� asserts Ed Pierce, product manager, lamination supplies, GBC.
Fundamentally, lamination enables a change of the finish, thickness, rigidity, as well as added durability. Jeff Leto, product manager, LexJet Corporation, doesn�t see this need disappearing. However, there is a reduction in the need for lamination of short term graphics that do not require a different finish, or more thickness or rigidity.
George Mash, VP, FDC Graphic Films, Inc., points out that lamination does provide a measure of UV protection that adds durability and abrasion resistance, but it also offers the ability to add a finish to the graphic not available by ink printing alone.
David Conrad, senior product manager, Neschen America, also notes the advantage of protective films and coatings over straight prints, and sees it as an opportunity for new innovations from media providers. �The advances in ink technology actually opens the door for new types of lamination applications, of which most or all require some sort of finishing, thus actually broadening the scope of lamination possibilities,� he says.
Guarantees and warranties are a symbol of reputation. Knowing that a supplier stands behind their products is important, especially in an industry that offers choice. However, they are not to be abused. It is important that the terms of the warranty adhere to the graphic as a whole, considering substrates as well as ink. Following manufacturer guidelines is essential; otherwise the warranty could be voided in the result of a failure.
Manufacturers and suppliers of digital wide format equipment, inks, underlying media, and protective films and coatings thrive on innovation. As PSPs extend beyond the ordinary, it is important to partner with these experts to ensure a smooth process and installation, as nobody gains from a failed graphic�warranty or not.
Read more about protective coatings and overlaminates in the January 2011 feature article, available at the end of December.

There are two ways to spell 'Realize'. Realize is the American spelling, 'Realise' is the British spelling. Don't try and be a smart ass when you really don't know what you're talking about.

It came from the Blog: Running of the Orphans 2012 snapshots
First, we traveled to Thunder Bluff via the Love Zeppelin and paid our respects to Cairne. We then took our orphans on a joy ride, which wasn't so much joyful as it was irresponsibly dangerous. We then paid a visit to Laday Sylvanas and debated whether she threatened our orphans or not. Upon our return to Orgrimmar, we spoiled the orphans with sweets and toys and then returned them to the poor matron.
We've held this event before, but there was one disappointing change this year: No orphans were left behind when we got on a zeppelin. Perhaps it is a cruel thing to miss, but we did. After all, they order us around all day; a little revenge seemed appropriate.
We will be holding another event this month. Look for an announcement Soon™.

Maine Law grad Amanda Doherty, '08, spreads word to help friend
July 30, 2012
PORTLAND, Maine – Many people know Amanda Doherty as one of Maine's rising young stars in the world of criminal defense. She recently launched her own firm after practicing under the wing of prominent lawyers such as Cliff Strike, Sarah Churchill and Randy Bates.
What people might not know is that Doherty also has a really big heart.
Doherty, who has taught as an adjunct professor at Maine Law, is helping to spread the word about a close friend who is in desperate need of a kidney and pancreas transplant. Maria Flannery of Hopkinton, Mass., was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as a child. In 1994, at the age of 31, Flannery received a kidney from her father. That kidney has now failed, and Flannery undergoes dialysis three times a week. Without a transplant soon, the mother of two will not survive, Doherty said. Flannery has been on a transplant waiting list for two and a half years.
"Maria has taken to social media, and any other media source she can access, to help spread the word, not only to help her but to help other people in need of organ transplants," Doherty said.
Flannery, 48, and her family started a Facebook page, "A Kidney for Maria." They also have a website, and Flannery was interviewed in June by Yahoo! News.
"We have been stressing that we aren't asking people to donate a kidney. We're just getting my story out there with the hopes that a donor will find me. There are many people who give altruistically, and we're hoping one of them reads my story," Flannery said.
"Even if a match isn't found in the end, I am so grateful for the support and outpouring of love that has come our way. I feel so fortunate to live in a time where social media can spread your story so far and wide just by the push of a button." For information about the need for donations, or on becoming a donor, visit www.donatelife.net.

Is sex with your guy starting to feel a bit…bland? You may think you've tried it all when it comes to sex positions, but we're willing to bet we've got a few you haven't tried! Straight from Naughty Tricks and Sexy Tips: A couple's guide to uninhibited sexual pleasure, we bring you a list of lesser-known positions to keep even the most seasoned lovers busy!
The CATI'll begin with the Coital Alignment Technique because its simplicity and effectiveness in helping a woman achieve an orgasm makes it a valuable addition to your repertoire. In this position, the woman lies on top-face to face-with her legs inside those of her lover. This squeezes the penis fairly tightly and so caution must be exercised. She then shimmies upwards an inch or two on his pelvis so that her clitoris and surrounding region will be rubbed by his pubic bone. The movements made in the CAT, either circular or as small thrusts (or both-be creative!), allow a woman to mimic the sensations she gives herself when masturbating. The CAT is ideal as a second or third position when both lovers are aroused and perhaps the man needs slowing down while she needs now to concentrate on the right stimulation to build to orgasm. It also allows the man to rest after he has been engaged in more vigorous thrusting in other positions.
Spicy Suggestion… Take your time and enjoy this slow sensuality as you both gaze into each other's eyes.
The StarfishThe lovers can now move into the Starfish. Here, the woman brings both her knees towards her chest and rests her feet at the sides of his chest or on tops of his shoulders. He holds her knees and can open them, yielding different sensations for both lovers. The Starfish is so named because she looks like a starfish against his kneeling posture. The woman needs to be flexible, and the man needs a reasonable level of fitness in order to take control of the thrusting because his partner remains stationary in such a pose. In this position, they can clasp hands or he can lean on his arms on the bed.
Spicy Suggestion … The Starfish is ideal for the man who likes to take control. He can thrill his lover by slowing his thrusting, deepening it, or varying the style from, say, straight thrusts to circular movements.

Wife and husband owners Lily Morda and Tim James are artisans (Jewellery Designer and Glass Bead Maker, respectively) and entrepreneurs.

Questions or comments? Don't hesitate to Contact Us - We look forward to hearing from you!
One of the most interesting things that my husband
Tim and I discovered about each other, when we first started dating,
was our mutual love for all things Italian. Living in Seattle in the
1990's, Tim owned a café and I designed jewelry and owned a bead
shop. The shop, called Sound City Bead, catered to bead lovers of
many stripes for over ten years. Both Tim and I built our businesses
around concepts and products that were staples of Italian life; i.e.
coffee and hand-made glass beads, respectively.
We both adored Italian food, wine, art and culture
tremendously, although neither of us had ever actually been to
Italy. After we were married in 1999, we joined other family
members vacationing in a rented villa by the Tyrrhenian Sea,
just south of the port city of Livorno. We spent a month
traveling around the regions of Tuscany and Umbria and also took
a three day trip to Venice. I will never forget the overwhelming
impression that Venice made upon me. I felt as if I had died and
gone to bead heaven!
During the summer of 2001 we rented an apartment
for two months in the Tuscan town of Lucca. We fell so in love with
the way of life in Italy, especially in the region of Tuscany
itself, that we never left. Because of my Italian heritage, I
discovered I was legally entitled to obtain Italian citizenship,
which I did with the help of my father. Shortly thereafter, my
brother took over the bead store we owned in Tucson, Arizona at the
time and we sold or gave away most of our other belongings.
We then put our daughter Leah, who was then nine, in
Italian public school, and started to build our new life here in Italy.
Around that time, early 2002, I suggested to Tim that he might enjoy
learning how to make lampworked beads. After taking a one week intensive
course in the region of Umbria, Tim set up his own studio and began to
teach himself the ins & outs of glass bead making. Ever since he has
been busy making wonderful glass beads in the Venetian tradition, but
with a distinctly American twist.
Many torch hours later he began to realize that
learning the art of glass bead making need not be the arduous process
that he endured, that it was possible to impart the knowledge in a more
efficient manner than was his experience. It was at this point that he
began teaching this ancient craft and has since had satisfied students
come from literally all over the world to take his course.
In early 2005, craving a more cosmopolitan atmosphere, we moved
from Lucca to Florence. Florence, which is called "Firenze" in
Italian, is the capitol of Tuscany and one of the world's most
beloved art cities. Besides being the home of the great Renaissance
period of art history, Florence also enjoys the distinction of being
the intellectual center of Italy.
Home to one of Europe's oldest universities, the University of
Florence, the city also hosts at least thirty Italian and American
study abroad programs each year. Many American universities, like
Syracuse and New York University for example, have permanent
campuses here in town. This helps give the city a young and vibrant
feel, which is an interesting contrast to its ancient surroundings.
After moving to Florence, we began an interesting
personal and artistic journey. Besides creating handmade beads for our
store, websites and jewelry lines, Tim has also designed and produced
glass beads for a number of design houses, both big and small. Chanel
featured his beads in their summer and fall 2006 line, as well as in
spring 2011. He received commissions from the famous Italian design
houses Ferragamo and Escada, as well. Currently, he continues to supply
a myriad of smaller designers, in Europe, North America and as far away
as Australia and Japan, with his ever-expanding line of hand-made glass
Our daughter Leah, now 21, has her own business as a multilingual tutor
for children, as well as doing some modeling (We are thrilled to have
Leah as the fresh young face of Beaded Lily!)
At some point along the way, we began to long for a bit more of
the alternative scene that we left behind in Seattle and San
Francisco. This led to our discovery of Brighton, England.
Brighton is cool and funky, and indeed very alternative (they call
it the San Francisco of the UK). It has a great music scene, TONS of
independent shops and loads of artists. And in addition to the pub
scene that England is (in)famous for, the coffee house scene is very
Seattle: Cafes everywhere with cushy chairs and books and good
music, all made for hanging out (different than the "quick coffee
standing at the bar" standard in Italy). Brighton also has two very
good universities, one of which our daughter will be attending.
And so, at the end of 2011, after more than a decade living in
Italy, my family and I decided to relocate our lives and business to
this seaside city in the southeast of England. And instead of
opening a retail store as we've always done in the past, we've
decided to to realize a dream that we've had for quite some time
now: A true working studio that will house our teaching facilities,
and product line, as well as
Tim's web design business (his other
You are invited to visit by appointment. To do so, please
And so a new chapter begins... We hope you'll
join us in our ongoing adventure. For us, the first step was
articulating our dream. The rest continues to reveal itself day
by day.

Born: Feb. 22, 1975 With her sunny disposition and flower-child idealism, Drew Barrymore channels the very best of the Aquarius-Pisces cusp. And when those born this week have their priorities in order, they can often accomplish an unbelievable amount. Indeed, the Golden Globe-winning Going the Distance actress is not only a box office force to be reckoned with, but is also a producer and director of girl-power projects (like 2009's Whip It) that remind us of how just strong and versatile women can be.

Course notes | Schedule, assignments, and readings | Github repository
This course introduces the Python programming language as a tool for reading and writing digital text. This course is specifically geared to serve as a general-purpose introduction to programming in Python, but will be of special interest to students interested in poetics, language, creative writing and text analysis. Weekly programming exercises work toward a midterm project and culminate in a final project. Poetics topics covered include: character encodings (and other technical issues); cut-up and re-mixed texts; the algorithmic nature of poetic form (proposing poetic forms, generating text that conforms to poetic forms); transcoding/transcription (from/to text); generative algorithms: n-gram analysis, context-free grammars; performing digital writing. Programming topics covered include: object-oriented programming; functional programming (list comprehensions, recursion); getting data from the web; displaying data on the web; parsing data formats (e.g., markup languages); and text visualization with Processing. Prerequisites: Introduction to Computational Media or equivalent programming experience.
This is a creative writing course. After a fashion. It might be more accurately termed a creative reading course: specifically, how can we write computer programs that give digital texts interesting readings? What interesting artifacts might we thereby create?
This course is about the Python programming language. Why Python? Because it's easy to learn, it's elegant, and it makes text processing easy. It is also awesome.
This course incorporates performance. A text has many affordances, and one of those is to be read aloud. Don't expect the output of your programs to stay on the screen. The final project will take the form of a public reading: you must read or otherwise perform a text/poem/piece generated by a program that you wrote. You may be asked, when presenting your completed homework assignments, to read the output of your program aloud.
|Attendance and participation
|Midterm project
|Final project
|Homework assignments
|30% (10% x 3)
This course's official textbook is Virtual Muse: Experiments in Computer Poetry by Charles Hartman. There are a number of copies in the university bookstore, or it can be ordered online.
Reading material will be assigned on alternate weeks. Readings that aren't in the official textbook will be made available either as links to documents on the web or as handouts. Generally, the first twenty to thirty minutes of each class will be devoted to a discussion of the reading.
Other recommended reading material:
Poetry books of interest (not exhaustive by any means)
You are expected to maintain a blog for this class. You'll use this blog for posting documentation of your homework assignments and projects. If you use an existing blog, please make sure that entries relating to this class are specifically marked as such (by, e.g., tags, categories, etc.). As soon as you have this blog up and running, please send me a link.
There are a total of three homework assignments, which in aggregate are worth nearly one third (30%) of your grade. In addition to complying with the parameters of the assignment as outlined in class, you are expected to post (to your blog) documentation of your assignment. This documentation should include:
Students may be called upon (and are encouraged to volunteer) to present their homework assignments in class.
Homework assignments will not be accepted after their respective due dates.
There are two projects in this class. (Further details will be made available)
You will be asked to present your projects in-class. You must also document your projects on your blog, and send links to your documentation to the instructor.
The final project has three different components: presentation, documentation, and performance. Here are the details:
You are expected to attend all class sessions. Absences due to non-emergency situations will only be cleared if you let me know a week (or more) in advance, and even then only for compelling personal or professional reasons (e.g., attending an important conference, going to a wedding). If you're unable to attend class due to contagious or incapacitating illness, please let me know (by phone or e-mail) before class begins.
Each unexcused absence will deduct 5% from your final grade. If you have three or more unexcused absences, you risk failing the course.
Be on time to class. If you're more than fifteen minutes late, or if you leave early (without my clearance), it will count as an unexcused absence.
Laptops must be closed while your fellow students are presenting work. You're otherwise welcome to use laptops in class, but only to follow along with the in-class tutorials and to take notes.

Hi falko,
I will attempt this over the weekend when there aren't as many employees in the office.
For reference: we're using a Watchguard Firebox as our Internet Gateway/Firewall. It also splits the connection coming in between the mail server and the office network (the mail server does not reside on the network itself).
The reason I believe the issue is not being caused by the firewall is two fold:
1) Prior to this, we had a switch and a router filling the role that the Firebox fills now and still had this issue come up.
2) The configuration in the Firebox's settings for SMTP (port 25) traffic is identical to the configuration for POP3 (port 110) traffic and POP3 traffic does work outside of the office.
But definitely will try to access without the firewall in place this weekend and will report back.

An excellent look into the mind of a murderer, INVESTIGATION features a fine performance from Volonte in the leading role. Director Petri has made an antifascist statement that is both pointed and poignant, full of eerie, unsettling moods abetted by Morricone's score. A piercing satire of Italian
investigative techniques, and an interesting meditation on the relationship between class and guilt. leave a comment

The work shown below is an account of useful operational data taken during
run 2 of FY04 on 7ID. This page will contain useful stability information on the
7ID High Heat Load Monochromator and also on the various repairs and problems
identified during the run.
From D. Walko, edited by ED
The beam was delivered by APS as planned on Thursday 8 am. The beamline shutter
was off since Don Walko brought the APS survey and alignment team to investigate
the blockage of the monochromatic beam (from the high-heatload mono, not the
micromono) in pass-through mode. In the past we have observed that the top of
the HHL mono beam is sometimes clipped by an edge that we thought was in the
On Thursday the APS survey team checked the alignment of the white beam slits
and front end mask in 7ID-A. The commissioning window table was at the correct
height but the upstream part of the table was moved by 0.5 mm inboard. The L5-20
chamber was at the nominal position provided that they used the alignment number
written on the chamber by Oxford. They also checked the micromonchromator
alignment in 7ID-B and it looked close to its nominal position.
Today we opened up the micromono chamber and found the very likely source(s) of
the edge(s): some copper housing around the slits. More details, including some
pictures, are posted on my website , so please look there for clarification.
It is not clear at this point what the purpose of these copper housings is, or
what can be done to move them. Can we simply shim them up a bit, or would that
affect their function? I was unable to find these housings in the mechanical
drawings of the micromono which were available to me, so I'm somewhat puzzled
as to their purpose.
The APS survey crew will return tomorrow morning (Friday) to confirm whether the
center of rotation of the crystals is at the white-beam height, and they should
also be able to tell us whether the things around the slits are really at a
height which could affect the HHLM mono beam.
From Don Walko, edited by ED:
The APS surveyors determined that in the micromono, the bottom of the copper
structures around the slits were at a height of 36.25 mm above the white beam.
While the nominal height of the mono beam is 35 mm above the white beam, things
such as steering errors, detuning, and simply the height of the beam make this
tolerance too small. Therefore we are reasonably confident that these blocks
were clipping the top of the mono beam in pass-thru mode. Jon Tischler stopped
by from UNI-CAT and figured they were Compton shields and that it would be fine
to shim them up. I placed an emergency order to the APS machine shop for little
blocks made from OFHC copper that was lying around and installed them this
afternoon. Eventually we may want to replace them with better-sized pieces of
The micromono has been slowly but steadily pumping down; the pressure is now in
the mid-7's. Its base pressure--before the new, small Cu blocks were
installed--was in the mid-9's. Since we needed a "type C" radiation survey
for the minihutch, I had that done and got the beamline up and running. I got
the mono peaked up within one minute, which means it hadn't moved much after
being warmed up for cryocooler maintenance and having had its vacuum opened. I
am leaving beam on in the A hutch to keep the crystal warm.
Tomorrow, I will image the beam in the B hutch to see if I can still find any
edges (hopefully not). Assuming that the micromono pressure has continued to
fall, then when nothing else is going on, we will put beam into the C hutch and
use the beam position monitor for stability studies. Our early indications are
that undoing the modification to the cryocooler will help it be more stable, but
of course we need to observe the beam to be sure.
Overall, I'm optimistic that the stability of, and our understanding of, the
beamline is improving.
PS by ED
It looks like we found one of the source of clipping on 7ID. Initial
experiments on the beamline found as early as 1998 that we were short in flux by
about a factor 2. In March 2001, we found how to clear this aperture with a
steering correction and gained a huge factor in intensity. Today Don and his
team found out that the top plates in Cu on top of the slit assemblies (see web
site below) are very close to the mono beam, within 1.25 mm actually (36.25mm
from white beam height). Since setting the mono offset is not an exact thing (I
easily can misalign it by .5mm) and the fact that due to the temperature
difference between the first and second mono crystal, the beams moves up, these
Cu mask were designed to be to close to the beam. (The second crystal being
warmer has a larger d-spacing thus at fixed energy a smaller Bragg angle. It
thus does not return the beam to the horizontal direction and the beam moves
up.) See Don's page for pictures.
Note that the beamline was down for 5 shifts at the beginning of the run until
Friday night due to the presence of the Survey team from APS. They needed access
to 7ID-A on Thursday, and to 7ID-B on Friday. The micromonochromator was opened
on Thursday afternoon.
Just as we were getting everything figured out with the MHATT-CAT
micromonochromator in 7ID-B, we have encountered a problem with the white-beam
slits ("L5-20") in 7ID-A. To bring everyone up to speed, the horizontal blades
are not moving well if at all. In fact it's the (five-phase) motors which don't
move well even when the shaft is disconnected from the slit. Eric Landahl and
myself are fairly certain that it's the (fairly obscure) motor driver that is
wearing out, that the company (Berger Lahr) doesn't even advertise on their
The current status is that I got beam thru the slits and am about to start a
time-series to check on the stability of the HHL mono. The cables to the slit's
horizontal are disconnected so no one can accidentally (try to) move the blades.
On Monday we will either have to find a replacement driver or else begin wiring
up the motors to five-phase ACS Step-Pak drivers (we have three on hand). This
may delay the start of the next beamtime, depending on how severe the problems
are (and assuming that the motors themselves are fine).
D. Walko, edited by ED.
On Jan 31, 2004 at 7pm, Don Walko started a time serie with the white beam slits
set to ~0.3 mm (V), and uncalibrated in the horizontal direction. The undulator
gap was set at 21.755 mm(10.05 keV), and the flux was 3.7 x 10^12 ph/s in 7ID-B.
The beam was on the monochromator for well over 12 hours before the time serie
started. As seen in Fig01-31.1, the APS is running in
non-top-up mode, with the 324 bunches, and the fill-on-fill occur around
t=0.75h. The 7ID-B ion chamber tracks well the ring current, but the 7ID-C diode
sum increases monotonically over the period, likely because the He flight paths
are become purer, oxygen and nitrogen free from the He flushing.
The beam position shown in Fig01-31.2 after the fill
seems to stabilize. Note the horizontal and vertical motion near t = 3.7 h
caused by the cryocooler fill. Note also the horizontal bump occuring after the
fill, likely caused by a slight orbit change. Finally, note that the vertical
beam position has a very fast and large amplitude. This is new and we've never
seen this before. This will need to be looked into in future studies time.
We also took some oscilloscope scans of the beam position monitor signals and
they have not yet been analyzed.
After tweaking the HHL momo around 11pm on 1/31, a time serie was started with
the monochromator set to 10 keV, and 7ID set to 21.755 mm (10.05 keV).
Fig02-01.1 shows the intensities in the non top-up
mode. Note that the 7ID-B ion chambers follows the ring current. Due likely to
He purging out the air in the flight paths, the 7ID-C diode signal increases
even though the ring current decreases. The diode sum signal finally follows
the ring current after t = 6h. So it takes quite a bit of time to purge the He
flight paths. Note the funny noise slightly before the fill-on-fill near t = 7h.
Fig02-01.2 shows the beam positions in the same time
series as the previous one. The horizontal beam motion due to the filling of the
low pressure LN2 vessel in the cryocooler causes beam motion around 40 microns
peak to peak. Note the horizontal beam motion during the fill-on-fill of 20 um.
The vertical motions seems to be much larger than before with an rms deviation
on the order of 10 microns. The last two hours of data has an RMS deviation of
13 microns. It is possible that either the beam is moving more than it use to
or the conditioning electronics has changed. We have upgraded the 7ID-A crate
so it is possble that the AD board settings have changed. This needs to be
investigated further.
Following this time series, Eric Landahl performed a steering correction test to
see whether an edge is still present in the beam after the micromonochromator
modification. Before the test, the L5-20 top blade was moved up by 1.5 mm so
that the beam after a nominal 25 microradian orbit correction would pass through
the slit opening.
Fig. 02-01.3 shows the steering angle in a time series, the angle moving up by
25 microradians up, then down.Fig. 02-01.4 shows the flux measured in 7ID-B
and 7ID-C during the steering two corrections as a funcrion of time. The first
rise in intensity after 0.2 h is due to the fact that the integrated intensity
passing through the L5-20 has increased following the steering correction since
now most of the beam clears the bottom blade of the L5-20. This sharp rise is
followed by a drift which is likely due to beam current decay and monochromator
heating. The sudden drop of intensity near 0.9 h is not understood. The sharp
drop in intensity at 1.25 h is the second orbit correction.
a href="#Fig02-01.5">Fig. 02-01.5 shows the beam position during the orbit
correction. The beam moves up in 7ID-C by 1.2 mm, or 1.2 mm/49.2 m = 24.4
microradians. The APS BPM data are consistent with the 7ID-C BPM. Note that
the horizontal position shifts by 0.1 mm. This is possibly caused in part by
a misalignment of the 7ID-C BPM axis. Also the orbit correction was done in two
steps, the second step is not present on the APS BPM data. This is the first
measurements we've done that shows the correlation between APS and 7ID-C BPM
data. Note that the rapid dips near t = 0.6 and 0.8 hrs are hutch access to take
After this study, Eric Landahl changed the monochromator energy to 18 keV.
Several hours afterwards, at 16h36, after the monochromator was retuned to 10
keV, a time series was started. Fig. 2-01.6 shows the fluxes while Fig. 2-01.7
shows the beam position. Probably due to the change in monochromator energy,
the flux peaks 1 h into the time series. Otherwise, the flux correlates well
with the ring current. The vertical beam position drifts down likely due to the
monochromator stabilizing. It takes about 5 hours for the monochromator to
stabilize. Again, the beam moves slightly horizontally after the fill on fill.
A final time serie was started on Monday morning, at 6h13 am. The intensities,
and beam positions are shown in the next two figures. Note again the large
noise on the vertical beam position.
Summary included in the TRR group meeting minutes of 02/02/04:
Don Walko reported on various improvements or alignment corrections which
have been made to the 7ID beamline. The APS Survey Group, in particular
Scott Wesling, found that the Commissioning Window in 7ID-A was not quite
in place, and moved the upstream end outboard by 0.018". The White Beam
slit tank is at its correct location. Weasel also found that the
micromono tank in 7ID-B may have been slightly tilted, with the upstream
end low by 0.015" and the downstream end high by 0.018", but on average
was at the correct height. The tilt did not significantly change when the
micromono tank was moved inboard on its rails; and this tilt was not
corrected. The micromono was then opened and a Compton shield was shimmed
higher, which seems to have removed a blockage.
The cryocooler for the 7ID-A HHL monochromator has been operating better
since its last annual service: a leak on the high-pressure side was
repaired, so the vessel will no longer need to be filled up every week or
two; and the low-pressure fill modification installed last year was
removed, reducing the pressure spikes and presumably reducing beam motion.
Don also reported that when Dohn Arms upgraded the EPICS installation of
the 7ida crate, that caused problems with the horizontal-blade motors of
the white-beam slits. These motors have brakes which were apparently
always turned off in the old EPICS. The best solution seems to be to
leave the brakes off, although further tests are needed to be sure the
slit motions are reproducible. We should try to get them serviced in the
near future.
Fig. 02-04.1 shows the white beam intensity transmitted
through the Si (111) thin wedge as a function of the horizontal tank position.
The mono tank was moved by 1.26 mm to make sure that the thin part of the mono
was centered on the undulator axis. This alignment was not done when ED first
installed the first crystal in the tank in late January 2001. This realignment
may reduce the power absorbed by the first crystal. The first crystal angle was
20 degrees.
Fig. 02-04.2 shows the white beam intensity transmitted
through the Si (111) thin wedge as a function of the Bragg angle. Above 8.75
degree, the transmitted intensity could be controlled by the angle. One would
expect a well aligned first crystal would be able to control the transmitted
intensity as low as zero grazing angle of incidence. This scan revealed that the
monochromator table was too low. The tank was raised twice, once y2 was raised
manually, and once y1 and y3 were raised.
Fig. 02-04.3 shows the white beam intensity transmitted
versus the angle once the table was raised in its final position. The intensity
for Kamel Fezzaa can now be controlled to 4 degree. We need to repair the
broken monochromator table jack and realign completely the monochromator.
On February 11, Don Walko recalibrated the HHLM on the Zr edge for B. Adams's
experiment. Near the Zr edge at 18 keV, the mono was off 19 eV because we moved
the monochromator table jack y2 manually on Feb. 4 for Kamel Fezzaa's white beam
experiments using the thin crystal of the monochromator as a white beam filter.
Fig. 02-11.1 shows the Zr edge calibrated scan. The first, second, and third
bumps on the scans are respectively 18.001, 18.014, 18.031 keV. A follow up scan
near the Nb edge is also shown (around 18.991 keV) in Fig. 02-11.2. One keV away
from the Zr edge, the monochromator calibration was found to be off by 3-5 eV,
which might indicate a poor alignment of the monochromator.
A long time serie started on 2/11 at 17h35 is shown in Fig. 02-11.3 and
Fig. 02-11.4. The APS ran in top-up mode, the monochromator was set to
18 keV, the 7ID energy was set to n=3, E ~ 18.1 keV.The intensities in the 7ID-B
ion chamber and the 7ID-C diode track well each other. Several small tweaks of
the second crystal may have happened during the time series.
The vertical beam position is quite stable over this 11 day long period once the
temperature of the monochromator has settled down. A long drift is noticable
with a motion on the order of 10 microns. The large high frequency noise has
been seen earlier in the run and will be investigated in future studies. The
horizontal beam position is less stable.
Fig 03-02 shows a new EPICS screen was made by Dohn Arms on 3/02/04. It shows
the temperature of the experimental all and the barometric pressure. Note that
AC has been installed in 7ID-D and the sensor is inside the hutch. Eric Landahl
and Dohn Arms are working to reduce the set point to make it colder inside the
hutch. All other sensors are over the hutches or over our heads. The label
number of the sensor i.e. 5045 is shown on the AC duct.
Due to making a new labyrinth on top of the 7ID-D roof for the AC input, the
7ID-D had a routine shielding validation today at 11 am and passed without
Don Walko called S. Weasels and he came around 2 pm to survey the horizontal
placement of the white beam. The L5-20 were first centered with the
monochromatic beam. He found no significant offset. The beamline is ready to
install a small polished Be WI-82 window in 7ID-A. (to be continued)
Today, we are investigating the increased noise on the vertical beam position
signal. Fig. 03-11.1 and Fig. 03-11.2 show a short time serie started at
3h37 am, with the monochromator set at 10 keV, the L5-20 slit opening set to
0.75 mm (H) by 0.5 mm (V), and the ID gap set to 10.055 keV.
Fig. 03-11.3 to Fig. 03-11.5 show a short time serie started at 13h32 before
the TRR group meeting. Note the correlation between beam motion and LN2
cryocooler vessel fill.
Fig. 03-11.6 shows the proper calculation for getting Volts into degree C
for the second crystal thermometer transducer. Do not touch this record.
Fig. 03-11.7 to Fig. 03-11.9 show a 6 hour long time serie started at 18h41 before
the TRR group meeting. Note the correlation between beam motion and LN2
cryocooler vessel fill.
A time series were started just before bed. Fig. 03-12.1, 03-12.2,
and 03-12.3 show the data from the time series.
Note that the temperature of the second crystal is now also recorded.
The monochromator is set to 10 keV, 7ID to 10.055 keV on n=1, and the white beam
slits are set to 0.5 mm (V) by 0.75 mm (H).
A time series were started just before dinner. Fig. 03-12.4, 03-12.5,
and 03-12.6 show the data from the time series.
I have characterized the first crystal mount sensitivity to a pressure change
by pressurizing the closed loop without at room temperature. I never did
carefully measure the pressure dependence of the beam position. Tonight I
pressurized the closed loop in steps of 1 PSI and recorded a time serie.
Fig. 03-12.7, 03-12.8, and 03-12.9 show the effect
of set point pressure on the beam position. The effect is easy to observe. Table
03-12.1 shows the pressure steps. The X position has a sensitivity of 10 microns
per PSI, while the Y position moves downwards with slope of 5 microns/PSI.

A time series were started just before bed. Fig. 03-13.1, 03-13.2,
and 03-13.3 show the data from the time series.
The monochromator is set to 10 keV, 7ID to 10.055 keV on n=1, and the white beam
slits are set to 0.5 mm (V) by 0.75 mm (H).
In the past 40 h, I took a long time serie to see whether the suggestion that
Bob Dortwegt made in his Feb. 16 2004 email would translate into observable changes.
Fig. 03-14.1 and 03-14.2 show the first crystal temperature and the
atmospheric pressure changes in a 40 h long time series started on 3/12/2004 at
22h17. My temperature sensor is too noisy to look at very subtle and long
drifts. No significant correlated change is observed on T1 for a .0135 bar
variation in 40 h. Perhaps someone has a more sensitive sensor and can further
investigate this! Bob suggested a 1/15 bar change (0.066 bar) would result in
a 0.5 C changes in LN2 temperature. The atmospheric pressure change observed
here is 1/5 of the one suggested by Bob, thus one would have expected subtle
temperature drifts here of 0.1 C.
Fig. 03-14.3, 03-14.4, and 03-14.5 show a long time serie started at 16h44,
with the monochromator set at 10 keV, the L5-20 slit opening set to 0.75 mm (H)
by 0.5 mm (V), and the ID gap set to 10.055 keV. The figure captions are self
Tonight, I also fixed the Y BPM EPICS setting so that the motion is accurate
and calibrated. I set up a digital dial gauge, our Mitutoyo that was used on the
monochromator table in February. I reduced the speed, increased the backlash
(major point), and increased the acceleration time. I also set up the rest and
idle to off on the Next Step driver. Before these changes, the slide would not
move properly. Afterwards, the slide motion is off by 2 microns per mm of
travel! I recalibrated by scanning the BPM Y position +/- 1 mm and fitted the
curve of YRatio to a line. The calibration was hardly changed. I noticed that
over the range of the calibration, there is some obvious non-linear S shape
Today Dohn Arms had to reboot the main beamline crate due to network problems.
It appears that the failure occured at 2h49 am on 3/16/04 and was repaired at
17h42 today.(See Fig. 03-16.1) We had problems to restore the monochromatic beam. The
piezo voltage was still at 5.4 V after the reboot but the piezo at the first be
tweaked at 6.12 V then finally optimized at 5.1V. So it appears that one may
need to take into account the hysteresis loop when the crate goes down since
the autosave and restoring process cannot take care of hysteresis.
On Sunday 3/14, I started a time serie at 22h29, and the beam position is shown
in Fig. 03-16.2. Note that I turned off the BPM Y motor
driver after I recalibrated the axis. It is interesting to not the long 5 hour
long drift that follows turning off the driver. I increased the backlash on the
slide to improve the motion accuracy, so perhaps when one turns the power off,
the slide slowly creeps. There is evidence in the plot for 60 um motion in 5
hours. I do not believe the beam moved significantly during this series.
Today, I had to reboot the 7ID-C hutch IOC. The scan record would not work
properly. Once I noticed that the scan record was not working, the IOC crashed.
It was rebooted. At 3h20 pm, I also retweaked the monochromator piezo voltage
from 5.1 V to its original 5.6 V so the heating of the monochromator resulted
in a beam drift of 240 um, and a flux reduction of 0.5/4.5 = 11 % drop. This
is noticable in Fig. 03-17.1 and Fig. 03-17.2 (see vertical motion).
The monochromator tweak is clearly seen in the beam position time series.
Today, I also borrowed a pressure regulator and plan to purchase a pressure
monitoring system to control the pressure of the high pressure vessel.
Fig. 03-21.1 and 03-21.2 show a time serie started at 00h35 on 3/21 and
lasting 10 hours. The 7ID Gap was 21.7613 mm, the 7ID monochromator Energy was
10 keV, and the white beam slits were set to 0.75 mm (H) by 0.5 mm (V).
The average beam position is stable to about 5 microns over this 10 hours time
period, if one ignores the beam motion correlated to LN2 fills.
Today, ED realigned the L5-20 and tweaked the monochromator. Yesterday, we also
moved the small optical table from the wet lab into the 7ID-B hutch yesterday,
and lowered the 7ID-C exit table for C. Schroer's camera.
Fig. 03-24.1 and 03-24.2 show the intensities and beam positions
for a short time series started at 14h48 on 3/24. Fast horizontal beam position
changes are noticable with a fast onset of 5 um motion and a slow relaxation.
This is caused by the sharp turning on and off of the heater element.
A beamline EPS tripped the beam last night around 11pm, closing GV5 for no
apparent reasons. I received a page from Christian, but was fast asleep at the
time. This morning, the gate valve was reopened and the beam is back. We have no
idea why the valve closed. The BLEPS pager alarm for notification of BLEPS
problem affecting PS2 has been implemented. ED received a page when the APS
went down yesterday, but did not receive one when 7ID went down.
On Thursday night 3/25, the same EPS trip occured around 11h20pm.
Sunday, March 28, 2003:
ED came around 19h30 to check on the cryocooler buffer level. On Friday night,
it was around 60% before he left. Tonight it was 51.5%. So perhaps when ED
serviced the jackets last Tuesday, one of the valves was not sealed properly and
the vacuum seal went bad afterwards. We will have to take care of this Tuesday
i.e. check what caused the LN2 to leak. Note that the level has not be filled
once this cycle in contrast to previous runs where we would fill the buffer
every two weeks.
ED also replaced the He bottle in 7ID-B. It had completely ran out when he
catched it. We should design some safeguard so that it does not happen again.
Perhaps a double He bottle farm would improve this and a sensor with an alarm
telling us when it runs out. Fortunately we are running at 19 keV, so the ozone
generation was probably lower than it would be typically at lower energy.
The resulting damage to the window was probably reduced due to this choice of
Monday, March 29: The cryolevel is now 49%(14h40), so it dropped 2.5% in 20 hours.
We should be OK to run until tomorrow morning. We definitely need to check what
is going on tomorrow first thing in the morning.
Today, the crycooler level problem was investigated. The high pressure buffer
was filled with LN2, the cryocooler jackets attached to the mono tank were
pumped and the ED installed a new pressure regulator to control the high
pressure buffer pressure. The new circuit controls the pressure better than 0.1
PSI, probably to a few 0.01 PSI. This will result in submicron beam stability.
It also keeps the closed loop filled becuase the dry nitrogen from the boil off
is condensed in the buffer. I watched the buffer level rise today by about 2%
in 1.5 hours!
Fig. 04-01.1, 04-01.2, and Fig. 04-01.3 show a 2.8 hours long time series
with the monochromator set to diffract 15.0 keV X-rays. The white beam slits
were set to their typical value of 0.5 mm by 0.5 mm and 7ID (n=3) = 15.1 keV.
Note the horizontal beam position (the vertical position has noise we suspect
is caused by bad electronics). After the fill, it stabilizes rapidly and an
average from 0.2 h to 0.5 h has a standard deviation of 0.7 um RMS. Recall that
in the past it had 5 microns amplitude fluctuations (see previous data).
The pressure regulator provides a continuous supply of nitrogen gas that
condenses in the buffer, thus keeping the buffer full at 101.8% from now on. The
presssure excursion during the fill have been reduced by a factor 3, and the
pressure regulator seems to bleed the extra gas generated by warming the buffer
during the fill.
Today, while checking the new regulator circuit, ED noticed that the low
pressure Dewar was not automatically filling anymore. The Dewar level was at 36
%, instead of being between 50-60%. The APS system was functioning fine, so we
found out that the cryogenic fill valve controlled by a solenoid was not
responding anymore. The solenoid was checked for continuity and found to be
broken in an open circuit mode instead of a few hundred Ohms. We were lucky to
borrow a spare from sector 6. We only replaced the solenoid. The system is now
working, and no beam time was lost. (See Fig. 4-05.4 and Fig. 4-05.5.)
Fig. 4-05.1 show a 2.8 day long time serie started on Thursday April 1, at 12h37 pm.
The monochromator was set to diffract 15.0 keV X-rays. The white beam slits
were set to their typical value of 0.5 mm by 0.5 mm and 7ID (n=3) = 15.1 keV.
Note that top-up failed on Saturday near t = 42 hrs and Sunday near 66 hrs.
The intensity of the 7ID-B ion chamber and 7ID-C diode correlate with this ring
current drop.
Fig. 4-05.2 show the beam position during the same time series as Fig. 4-05.1.
Fig. 4-05.3 shows also the LN2 level sensor varying from 50 to 60% every 4 hours.
Note that the rapid beam motion occuring during the fill is no longer obvious to
see (compare Fig. 4-05.2 with Fig. 3-21.2).
Today, I fixed a leak in the new pressure regulator circuit. A festo connector
was leaking when it was getting cold. Because of the pressure bump during a fill,
cold nitrogen gas flows back to the regulator where it leaks out. The festo
connector was getting cold because of this. I replaced the festo connector with
a 3/8" Swagelock connector.
I also fixed an EPS problem. It turns out that when we brought in the ladder in
7ID-A yesterday, the thermocouple input of the first crystal temperature on the
mono detached from the Acromag cold cathode compensator. I noticed it first
because the first crystal temperature was 50C even though the Si block is cold.
Tonight I noticed the yellow cable was detached from the Acromag Intellipack
801T-1500 so I reconnected it. This would have tripped the EPS system at 8am.
Fig. 04-09.1, Fig. 04-09.2, and Fig. 04-09.3 show a time series started on 04/09
and lasting about 10 hours. The monochromator is set at 10 keV, 7ID at 10.054
keV, and the white beam slits are 0.5mm x 0.5 mm wide. The beam position is
is stable to about 5 microns. Note the small 5 micron horizontal motion
remaining during the cryocooler fill.
Fig. 04-09.4 shows the beam current per bucket in the 1+7x8 hybrid mode. The
singlet current is 8 mA.
Fig. 04-12.1, Fig. 04-12.2, and Fig. 04-12.3 show a time series started on 04/12
and lasting about 0.8 hours. The monochromator is set at 10 keV, 7ID at 10.054
keV, and the white beam slits are 0.5mm x 0.5 mm wide. The beam position is
is stable to about 10 microns. Note the small 10 micron horizontal motion
remaining during the cryocooler fill. The beam may have been a bit more stable
when I first tried this trick because the leak in the festo connector acted as
a pressure relief valve. Since I fixed the leak by replacing the festo connector
with a Swagelock connector, I've noticed that the pressure bump is higher than
it was during the first week of tests. See the work done on last Tuesday.
Fig. 04-12.4 and Fig. 04-12.5 show data obtained from B. Wang at S35 on single bunch mode.
By removing the cryocooler low pressure fill modification, we have found that
the Cryocooler fill pressure disturbance are less severe, and more rapid to
return. The beam position variations are also less severe.
To do list:
-check and fix Y-BPM motor/driver (see 1/29/03). (fixed! 3/14/04 by ED)
-complete remote shutter interface
-Reduce the speed of the pressure response of the Huber chamber gauge.
-Prevent the turbo from venting when the pump is turned off or a power failure

Lafayette, LA – Mexico. Land of big-hatted vaqueros singing songs of love and nationalism, of mariachi bands playing sentimental melodies. A place where trends move slowly. Where traditional, country-style music or saccharine, plastic pop are the music of choice for millions of listeners north and south of the U.S. border.
Lafayette, LA – Broadcast Indecency. That's a term garnering increased attention. The phrase, upon closer scrutiny, casts a broad net. Obscenities and vulgarity, topics considered taboo in decades past, now seem thrust upon listeners increasingly. And to single out a specific genre-Hip Hop-is not entirely correct.

The ENT gave me clarithromycin 500mg (10 day) and methylprednisolone 4mg (6day) which has helped I believe get rid of the infection. During the treatment I also used a neti pot once in the morning for three days after reading how it helps and also because I was desperate for relief. Now after over a month and finishing all my medications about a week ago, two symptoms still seem to remain.

I've had
years but nothing like this! At the end of October, my sinuses started bothering me, my left ear became blocked and the lymph node under it swelled up. I went to the doctor. She ordered a CBC blood test (never heard results) and an antibiotic to help clear up the lymph node. I knew the antibiotic would probably do nothing for my sinuses. My sinuses are causing severe headaches, drainage and mucous. I also have reflux disease.

My first thought was- what the heck is going on- I have this bad
infection , on meds
20 days- it never goes away- was told to take celexa- (which I took at the same time as the anti-biotic)- and then started having attacks, tingling in my fingers and toes, and then I am being sent to a pyschologists? for anxiety or panic disorder.??? I really hope you get better and I did go to chiropractor ( I have not been in a few months though)...maybe I should go back for a visit.

most people but work well for others and are worth a try. Ask the ENT about these.

Amoxicillin (Amoxil) is an acceptable first antibiotic
an uncomplicated acute
infection.Generally an effective antibiotic needs to be continued for a minimum of 10-14 days. Taking decongestants (pseudoephedrine) and mucolytics (guaifenesin) orally may be helpful in assisting drainage of sinus infection. If you are prone to recurrent bouts of sinus infection it may be important for you to consider allergy testing to see if this is the underlying cause of your recurring problem.

For 2 years I have had a problem with one inner ear not draining properly due to colds/
stopping up the eustacion(sp?) tube. What cold/
medicines can I safely take that might clear this problem? Ear doctor has tried guaifenesin(1200mg/12hrs)and Nasonex spray but these have not worked. The only thing that works is putting a vent tube in eardrum- I've had 3 of these. Help!

guaifenesin has no side effects and is even safe
children. It is marketed
respiratory mucus problems and is available without prescription in various strengths. something else that is very good to have on hand is an all natural nasal spray called Xlear. it is made with Xylitol - some health food stores sell it - you can also buy it on-line. it is like a mucous "dissolver" - really good to use during the day between times you do saline nasal rinsing. non-habit forming.

yes there have been warnings about ameobeas in the water - it's very rare and happens mostly in the south- so use distilled water...for nose rinsing. if you make daily saline nasal rinsing a part of your normal routine you will breathe better, feel better and your allergies will calm down. One nasal rinse clears out so much mucus - especially if you are also taking the guaifenesin and drinking warm tea or warm water. And using the Xlear natural nasal spray.

You seem to have established a pattern, which leads me to believe you may be suffering from allergies, try treating you symptoms with antihistiamines sold over the counter, there are several, diphenhydramine, chlorpheniramine, and loratadine are very inexpensive, you can also add
to thin mucous and a nasal decongestant
/ear pressure and post nasal drip.

After 12weeks you can take plain sudafed decongestant as needed as directions say on the box. Tylenol cold and
can also be taken after 12 weeks. Plain regular strength tylenol can be taken at any point in pregnancy .

You might want to try that
a little relief, or even check into nebulized
infection, I've done that too. Now if they just had a great cure for post nasal drip, non stop throat clearing, non productive coughs and a head full of jello -- but then life would be perfect and we just can't have that :) Afterall, you can't appreciate good if you've never experienced bad, right?

Well, in mid-September I got really sick with a
infection; about a week later I was put on antiobioctics
10 days. However, I developed a really nast cough - so I called and they put me on another round of antibioctics that were stronger. The cough still persisted and I went in for a follow-up, was given a temp inhaler and decongest. No fever or other symptoms, just the cough coupled with some ear plugging and nose stuff here and there.

Hacking is wrong, but abuse of process is wronger …
June 17th, 2008 by p1, Filed under: Commentary, Culture, Law
"Lawyers for Glasgow-born Gary McKinnon told the House of Lords US authorities had warned him he faced a long jail sentence if he did not plead guilty.
"The systems analyst is accused of gaining access to 97 US military and Nasa computers from his London home.
"Known as Solo, he was arrested in 2002 but never charged in the UK."
So far, so bad. Breaking into computers has very little justification, and "just having fun" isn't exactly a defence. However:
"Without co-operation, the case could be treated as a terrorism case, which could result in up to a 60-year sentence in a maximum security prison should he be found guilty on all six indictments.
"With co-operation, he would receive a lesser sentence of 37 to 46 months, be repatriated to the UK, where he could be released on parole and charges of `significantly damaging national security' would be dropped.
"A US embassy legal official quoted New Jersey authorities saying they wanted to see him `fry'."
This bothers me. A lot. It's too much like security theatre, as well as being flat-out immoral. He did something wrong: he should be punished. But he should be convicted properly, and punished appropriately, not intimidated into pleading guilty in order to inflate someone's prosecution records.
