Do you keep all your metals the same? Ie facets, pulls, and lighting? I know I can really do whatever strikes my fancy, but curious what the "recommendation" would be. The kitchen is very casual, transitional style if that helps. |

No, feel free to mix in a way that seems cohesive to you. I have stainless appliances, a brushed nickel faucet, black cast iron stove grates, black pulls on my cabinets, antique black(with silvery undertones) lighting. It works perfectly. |
I think you don't want to have big contrast right next to each other. Or two similar but distinctive metals right next two each other. Stainless Steal and Brushed Nickel are indistinguishable. In general I would think of Stainless Steal or Brushed Nickel as neutral. Black cast iron grates on SS range/cooktop is standard. |
I think it just depends on your taste. I am very "matchy matchy" so everything I have is brushed nickel. Faucets, pulls and knobs, light fixtures. Even so much that I changed all the door handles and hinges in the entire house. The kitchen and 3 bathrooms have all the same faucets ( with matching toilet paper holders and toilet flush handles)! Maybe overboard. It sounds like it as I explain it, but I get thrilled when everything matches! So it depends on what you like! |
Everyone has different opinions so you have to weigh the suggestions you see here, and decide as to what YOU want. Personally, for me, matchy matchy gives me migraines but a cousin that I love dearly would NEVER accept my kitchen. Her new kitchen looks as if they just took the cabs out of the boxes and placed them on the wall or floor depending size. To me - boring, but that is just me. Variety is the spice of life... IMHO.

I think it depends on the kitchen and the other materials. If I were doing an all white kitchen I would probably want all or almost all silver- colored hardware. But in my renovated kitchen with its old-wood cabinets, I have a copper hood, original brass cabinet hardware, stainless refrigerator, chrome faucet -- to me it seems like it works. You need to take guidance from the vibe of the kitchen and the entire house. |
I am mixing...unlaquered brass on cabinets doors and pendants. Polished nickel/chrome/stainless for everything else. :) |
Oh, and I am even mixing cab hardware metals-brass for the light gray cabs and then nickel for the dark wood island... |
I have a copper tin ceiling; copper faucet and stainless appliances.....and I love it |

We are mixing stainless and copper. Stainless for the appliances, hammered copper farmhouse sink and matching accent tiles in the backsplash. The closest we could find to matching the copper sink for faucets, light fixtures and cabinet pulls was oil rubbed bronze. Our last kitchen also had a mix of copper and stainless and we wanted to bring that look into our new house. |

Satin nickel faucet, stainless appliances and handles, oiled bronze ceiling light and pendant lights, chrome chandelier. Love every bit of it. I need to get pictures up. |

Oh I would love to see pictures! I think DH would like matchy matchy, but I'm more inclined to mix. I would LOVE an oil rubbed bronze faucet, but I'm not sure it would play well in my planned kitchen. It has more of a modern feel I think. |

Subject: Re: SHORTY FOR COMMENT - NATO resumes Russia ties
NATO foreign ministers agreed March 5 to resume ties with Russia at
their meeting in Brussels. NATO and Russian ties under the guise of the
Russia-NATO Council have been cut off since Russia's war with Georgia in
August 2008. The resumption of the Russia-NATO Council is expected to
occur now soon after the NATO heads of state summit in April.
At the start of the day, it wasn't clear that resumption of ties was
going to occur since NATO member, Lithuania voiced opposition for the
Alliance's relationship with its former master. Any resumption of ties
required a consensus between all Alliance members. Lithuania has stepped
into a strong anti-Russian role in 2006 after its oil pipeline from the
country suddenly broke during a tumultuous set of energy deals between
the two sides. Later that year, Lithuania blocked European Union-Russia
ties, which also required consensus vote. Lithuania did have a right to
be worried about any friendly relations with Moscow since Russia's
resurgence has had the Baltic states within its focus. Lithuania seems
to have been chosen among the Baltic states to stand up to Russia since
it is the most protected among the three in not sharing a border with
Russia-proper. if we have a stock map lying around, that might be
But all of Lithuania's fears have been swept aside by the heavyweight
NATO members, who are looking to a drama-free round of negotiations with
Russia at this and the upcoming NATO meetings. The most interested in
keeping smooth relations at the time is the United States who looking
for Moscow's cooperation in the war in Afghanistan. The negotiations
between Russia and the U.S. are already tangled and complicated with
Russia placing a large set of demands for the US on the table such as
renegotiating START, halting plans for NATO expansion to the former
Soviet states of Georgia and Ukraine and nixing plans for ballistic
missile defense in Europe. The U.S. side is tying all of Russia's
demands into allowing the US to use Russian and former Soviet turf for
transporting supplies to Afghanistan and Russia ceasing its support-in
missile sales and for its nuclear program--of Iran.
The U.S. has now ensured that the more irritating issues (such as basic
NATO-Russian relations) are out of the way, so they can focus on the
heavier items. Next up for the U.S. is to sit down with Russia on March
6 in Geneva, Switzerland-a first for new Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton who will be meeting her counterpart Russian Foreign Minister
Sergei Lavrov. It seems that the U.S. is already laying plans to knock
out a few of the demands on Russia list since Clinton is to meet with
the Georgian delegation at the NATO meeting later today and Clinton has
publicly been touting that the U.S. could be more flexible on START and
bmd in europe. But the rhetoric by both parties blasting the other has
been on full volume over the past few weeks, showing just how fragile
these critical meetings are and just how much the Russians and Americans
still distrust the other.

Easton EC90 Carbon Bar Ends
EC90 bar ends provide an additional XC riding position with an ergonomic shape that Easton says "practically melts in your hand".*
*Note: Bar ends melt in your mouth, not your hands.**
**Supplemental Note: Bar ends do not actually melt in your mouth and are not affiliated with Mars Products or M&Ms candies.***
***Adscititious Note: At atmospheric pressure these bar ends have no melting point as their triple point is at 10.8 ± 0.2 MPa and 4,600 ± 300 K (~4,330 °C or 7,820 °F), so they sublime at about 3,900 K.****
****Ancillary Note: We have no idea what this actually means.
My 2nd pair. I really like these for climbing and even just for changing up riding positions when I'm out for a long day. I broke the 1st pair after a hard endo on rock. Super light and durable. I had no concerns about setting the bike on its side/rubbing these bar ends on the ground.

Evidence For a Would-Be Messiah is Shaky
By Frank R. Zindler
For most of my life, I had taken it for granted that Jesus, although certainly not a god, was nevertheless an historical personage - perhaps a magician skilled in hypnosis. To be sure, I knew that some of the world's greatest scholars had denied his existence. Nevertheless, I had always more or less supposed that it was improbable that so many stories could have sprung up about someone who had never existed. Even in the case of other deities, such as Zeus, Thor, Isis, and Osiris, I had always taken it for granted that they were merely deified human heroes: men and women who lived in the later stages of prehistory - persons whose reputations got better and better the longer the time elapsed after their deaths. Gods, like fine wines, I supposed, improved with age.
About a decade ago, however, I began to reexamine the evidence for the historicity of Jesus. I was astounded at what I didn't find. In this article, I would like to show how shaky the evidence is regarding the alleged existence of a would-be messiah named Jesus. I now feel it is more reasonable to suppose he never existed. It is easier to account for the facts of early Christian history if Jesus were a fiction than if he once were real.

Slovenian manufacturers could boost their value and make their brands more recognizable worldwide by paying more attention to industrial design, according to participants of a round table on industrial design. Organized by the Ljubljana Faculty of Economics, the round table focused on industrial design and the feasibility of establishing a center of excellence. Attendees included company chief executives and industrial designers. According to a Slovene Press Agency report, participants agreed that few manufacturers of textile, leather, or household products are aware of the importance of industrial design in increasing their competitive strength. Franjo Bobinac, chief executive of appliance maker Gorenje highlighted that a center of excellence could help manufacturers of mass products raise their prices. Referring to Gorenje, Mr. Bobinac said that innovation and a recognizable brand are key elements for remaining competitive, as low prices no longer suffice. Gorenje has been able to increase its prices 25 percent by offering products boasting top design, which, according to Mr. Bobinac, plays a crucial part in brand recognition. Vladimir Pezdirc of the Ljubljana Academy of Fine Arts said that cooperation had been modest between industrial designers, and companies were not interested or did not know how to use industrial design. According to the Slovene Press Agency, the participants of the roundtable agreed that Slovenian companies, now past the transition period, should invest more in research and development, with special attention to be paid to industrial design. Participants also agreed that a center of excellence could play a crucial role in design development by helping companies follow new trends. (Slovenia Business Week)

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Mulaudzi, Ludwig Vusimuzi URN etd-11162006-163430 Document Title Application of flow injection in the assay of selected substances in food and clinical analysis Degree MSc (Chemistry) Department Chemistry Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof J F van Staden Committee Chair Keywords
- flow injection analysis
- chemistry analytic.
- food analysis
Date 1999-10-01 Availability unrestricted Abstract The concept of flow injection (PIA), introduced as a simple and convenient principle, has established itself as a well defined analytical technique. With achievement and improvement of FIA as a general analytical laboratory technique, on-site monitoring and process analysis becomes a reality. It introduces a great improvement in the objectivity of the analysis, accuracy of the analytical information and greatly enhances the rate of the analytical process.The aim of this research was to determine the content of selected substances of biological importance from food industry (chloride, zinc, a-amylase), and also from the pharmaceutical industry (paracetamol). The importance of adopting FIA systems for these purposes is to increase the objectivity and the speed of their determination, and also to give the possibility of on-line assay.
Because only reliable methods can be automated, it was necessary to choose between the methods available for the assay of chloride, zinc, a-amylase and paracetamol. The next step was to optimize the FIA system, and after it to evaluate the FIA/spectrophotometric systems.
The results obtained for all substances proved a high reliability. The sample rate was high. Practically no sample interaction was recorded. These characteristics obtained for the proposed methods made them suitable to be used on-line in food and pharmaceutical industry, respectively.

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to edit the schema/properties of an SDF in Map 3D? I need to edit existing properties. I have followed the instructions in 'Help', but even after clicking on 'Edit Schema' in the schema editor, I have no luck. I have been able to add/delete properties but have not been able to edit other things (such as existing property titles, display order, Type etc). From what I understand in Help, I should be able to do this?
I have about 30 SDF files that were converted from SHP using FME. I know I can manipulate them in FME but each file has different properties and it will take me quilte a bit of time as I am not super familiar with it.
Any help is appreciated!
>> but have not been able to edit other things (such as existing property titles, display order, Type etc)
yes, annoying for me also.
What I do in that cases: I create a new SDF using the structure of the original one. As this SDF is empty you have the chance to modify/add/remove properties. Then I use bulkcopy to get the data transfered from my original SDF to the one with the new structure.
HTH, - alfred -
Thanks Alfred,
I had a feeling Bulk Copy was going to come into it but was hoping it was just something simple I was missing! I'm thinking the amount of work is going to be comparable to going the FME route. But I will give your method a try and see which one is 'easier' for me.

Porsche Canada reveals all-wheel-drive 911 Carrera 4 lineup
Now that the rear-wheel drive Porsche 911 has clapped its thunder, it's time for the 991-generation all-wheel drive Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S to roll forth in coupe and cabriolet forms. The meat of the transformation is the Porsche Traction Management system, and its as much as 143 pounds (65 kg) lighter than the previous 997 C4S, despite being about 1.7 inches wider in back with rear tires that are a third of an inch broader. Detail changes include the cross-light connecting the taillamps moving up a bit and going what appears to be all LED illumination.
The new model has also brought less obvious benefits like better gas mileage than its predecessor, even with more power and speed. The 400-horsepower C4S Coupe, the quickest of the bunch, can dash from zero to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds, max out a whisper beyond 299 km/h (185 mph) and use roughly 9L/100km (26 mpg) combined if fitted with the optional seven-speed PDK dual clutch gearbox (the seven-speed manual comes standard).
Ushering in new tech that will become available for the entire 911 range, the C4S receives adaptive cruise control, a sliding glass sunroof and, on manual-equipped cars with the Sport Chrono pack, automatic double-declutching during downshifts in Sport Plus mode.
We'll see them on the Porsche stand at next month's Paris Motor Show and they'll go on sale in Germany later this year, finally arriving in North American showrooms next February. It will take take $103,900 to get in the all-wheel-drive 911 C4 Coupe. The C4 Cabriolet comes in at $117,400, trumped by the C4S Coupe at $120,500 and the C4S Cabriolet another high-jump away at $134,100. Have a look at the press release with more information, get a preview of the lust on the way in our high-res gallery.

drive versions: their lightweight body design, suspension, engines and gearboxes are
identical, the only exception being modifications related to the all-wheel drive. This means
that despite a higher level of engine and driving performance, all four models consume
significantly less fuel than the previous models; total savings for individual versions are as
much as 16 per cent. In addition, the new 911 Carrera 4 is up to 65 kg lighter in weight.
The most distinct identifying feature of the 911 with all-wheel drive is still the wide rear
section: compared to the two-wheel drive 911 Carrera models, the rear body is wider by 44
mm, and the rear tires are each ten millimetres wider. The traditional red light band that
connects the two taillights has also taken on a new form and is now lighted. In addition, the
front air intakes are specific to the Carrera 4 models.
Porsche Intelligent Performance: high levels of driving performance, low fuel
All new models have a 7-speed manual gearbox as standard, and the Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK) gearbox is available as an option. The 911 Carrera 4 Coupé with
350 hp can sprint from zero to 100 km/h in as little as 4.5 seconds (Cabriolet: 4.7 s) and
reach a top speed of up to 285 km/h (Cabriolet: 282 km/h), depending on equipment
features. Transport Canada highway fuel consumption figures with PDK are 7.1 l/100 km for
the Coupé and 7.3 l/100 km for the Cabriolet.
The Coupé and Cabriolet of the 911 Carrera 4 S each have a 3.8-litre rear-mounted boxer
engine that produces 400 hp; offering an acceleration to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds
(Cabriolet: 4.3 seconds) and a top speed of 299 km/h (Cabriolet: 296 km/h), with a suitable
equipment configuration. Fuel consumption values with PDK are 7.5 l/100 km for the Coupé
and 7.6 l/100 km for the Cabriolet, according to Transport Canada.
New: all-wheel drive indicator, Porsche Active Safe, extended Sport Chrono pack
In the new 911 Carrera 4, a new menu in the instrument cluster informs the driver how the
PTM all-wheel drive is currently distributing engine power. In addition, with the debut of the
911 Carrera all-wheel drive models Porsche is introducing the optional Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) to the entire model range, which controls distance to traffic ahead and vehicle
speed. When ordered with PDK, the ACC system adds the safety function Porsche Active
Safe (PAS), which helps to prevent front-end collisions. In addition, driving the 911 with a
manual gearbox and Sport Chrono pack can now be even sportier: In Sport Plus mode, the
system automatically double-declutches during downshifts.
The new all-wheel drive models replace a very successful previous generation; the Carrera
4S was the most popular 911 model in Canada. It feature a unique system that combines
the driving pleasure so typical of a Porsche thanks to the engine at the rear and rear-wheel
drive with an even higher standard of driving stability, traction and agile handling.
To achieve this superiority, PTM feeds the optimum share of engine power under all driving
conditions via a multiple-plate clutch to the front wheels. And doing this within 100
milliseconds at the very most, PTM is faster than even the quickest driver will even feel or
notice. Porsche's all-wheel drive therefore "looks ahead" thereby offering optimum driving
qualities. Standard on Carrera 4S models is the Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV), which adds
a mechanical transverse lock on the rear axle enhancing the driving dynamics provided by
the fully controlled all-wheel-drive system.
World premiere at the Paris International Motor Show
The new Porsche 911 Carrera with all-wheel drive will make its first public appearance at the
2012 Paris International Motor Show. The new 911 models will be launched in Canada in
early 2013 with prices starting from $103,900 for the 911 Carrera 4 Coupé and from
$117,400 for the Cabriolet. Pricing for the 911 Carrera 4 S model begins at $120,500 for
the Coupé and $134,100 for Cabriolet.

RANCHI: Jharkhand chief minister Arjun Munda, his wife Meera and Majhgaon BJP MLA Badkunwar Gagrai were among six people who had a miraculous escape when their chopper crash-landed and turned turtle at the Birsa Munda Airport in Ranchi on Wednesday.
Sources in the CM secretariat said the chopper took off from the Ranchi airport around 11am for Kuchai in Saraikella-Kharsawan district where the CM was to inaugurate a power substation. An Agusta A109 taken on wet lease from Aryan Aviation, the chopper approached Kuchai after flying 50 nautical miles but certainly developed snag and could not land.
According to state civil aviation director Capt S P Sinha, pilots G P S Kaushik and Vipul Kumar then contacted the Air Traffic Control at Ranchi and sought permission to return to the Birsa Munda airport which is equipped to handle emergency landing. "Around 12.30pm, pilot Kaushik made an excellent effort to land safely and brought the chopper down to around 10ft above the airport runway from where it crash-landed," he said.
All the six flyers, including CM's chief security officer SP Manoj Kumar Singh, were injured. "The CM has sustained multiple injuries in his neck, shoulder and hips while his wife has her right elbow fractured," Sinha said.
Dr P D Sinha, medical superintendent of Apollo Hospital where the injured were being treated, said all of them were out of danger though under observation of doctors. "We are awaiting reports of various medical tests conducted on them," he said.
Capt Sinha said the directorate general of civil aviation will conduct an inquiry into the accident. "The exact reason will be known only after the probe report comes," he said and appreciated the pilot and co-pilot for safely bringing back the chopper to Ranchi and "landing it almost safely".

Becoming Gluten/Soy/Dairy Free
For the past three years I have been getting progressively more tired, my eczema more frustrating and inconvenient and, well, ugly, and my mood more generally irritable.
I was attributing all three rather debilitating problems to stress and exhaustion from film school and being over-worked. Forcing myself to sleep 7-8 hours a night for three months straight helped a little, but then I started a demanding job with Stand Up To Cancer (return at the end of May for more information on that), and I couldn't stick to my sleep regimen to save my life. Very quickly, within two weeks of starting the job, I regressed to where I was before I started my strict sleep plan. I thought biking to work (7.5 miles each way) would help, but while it is a wonderful way to start and end my days, it didn't solve the problem. And the decline in my health was becoming noticeable not just to me, but to everyone around me as well.
I finally dug deep into my pockets and scheduled an appointment with a doctor who came highly recommended, and learned a life-altering fact: Gluten, which includes wheat, barley and malt, is poison for me.
Every time I eat a cookie, grab a bagel, nibble on a pretzel, drink a fiber-enhanced beverage, I'm making myself sicker and sicker. And the icing on my now poisonous cake? Because I've been so evil to my body for... my entire life! I have developed allergies to other basics as well - dairy, soy, almonds, eggs (and chicken inconclusive).
This is actually great news: I'm otherwise completely healthy! I'm fit as can be (hey, I frequently bike 7.5 miles each way to and from work, what do you expect?). For someone who spends her days surrounded by talk of cancer, this is a happy diagnosis for deeply troubling symptoms. I have complete control over this.
And so, last week I became gluten, wheat, soy, dairy, egg, chicken, almond free. Open your cabinet and read the ingredients on the items you have in there. Chances are you won't find a single thing I can eat! That's what happened to me when I got home the night I received this news. Try looking at a menu anywhere - even a vegan or health-food restaurant. You'll have to settle for the nice bowl of white rice.
Yes, this diet is extremely difficult. But - I had no idea how sick I was until I removed these things from my diet. I feel *amazing* - my energy levels have soared. I'm happy. I don't feel nearly as stressed in spite of the fact that I've hit crunch time at work. I don't fall asleep until I get into bed. I wake up with my alarm clock. My skin is normal again.
This reminds me of how I felt when I first got glasses. I had absolutely no idea how bad my vision was until the moment I stepped outside with new glasses (at the age of 14) and realized that trees had individual leaves. I had no idea how sick I was until just a few days ago, when I discovered what it feels like to be entirely healthy.
And the real irony? I'm now eating meals that are not only far more healthful, but tastier! Having to pay attention to what I eat means being creative and figuring out what I truly enjoy. Even better: I have a wonderful supportive partner, Jon, who has really taken upon himself the task of learning as much as he can about my new food restrictions and how to eat normally in spite of them. This weekend, he made me chocolate chip cookies. Soy/dairy/gluten free chocolate chip cookies. And they were excellent. He's actually made the process of transitioning to an entirely new lifestyle (because that's what being soy/dairy/gluten free requires) fun.
The internet is amazing, and there are a lot of resources out there for this kind of restrictive diet. Usually, however, the people who write in are able to eat one of the three culprits above. So, consider this my first of many posts that will offer insight into living entirely free of all three. I'll write about tasty safe products, adventures, the trials, and whatever else comes to mind. If you have advice, or your own stories to share, please comment! More later... now I have to continue standing up to cancer (my current job). We have a deadline to make.

I used to write diaries couple of years ago. Then I stopped it for some reason. Mainly because of I do not want to live in past and did not have good past to write in the first place. It is better to let go of things and move on with your life.

Can you recommend any cookbooks? I have a friend who is allergic to dairy, gluten and soy, and I would love to buy her a good cookbook for Christmas.
cookbook recommendations
Hi Meredith: obviously this comment comes a little late, as Christmas has passed. That said, a couple of fun books would be "The Uncheese Cookbook" and "Vice Dream."
Neither are actually about gluten free cooking so much as dairy free cheese and ice cream ;) Bette Hagman has a whole series of great books on Gluten Free cooking, and Jon's and my favorites are "Gluten Free Gormet Bakes Bread" and "Gluten Free Gormet Makes Dessert."
In all honesty, however, we don't tend to use the cookbooks much now anymore. We look for fun inspiration from Food Network and great online recipe sites, which tend to NOT be allergy friendly, and then adapt what we find to a gluten-soy-dairy-egg-free Rain friendly version.
The books mentioned above all helped us get to this point.
Dea - Jon adapted the toll
Dea - Jon adapted the toll house recipe! He used Bob's Red Mill GF Flour, about a 1/4 tsp of Xanthan gum, and replaced the butter with spectrum (palm oil shortening) and the eggs with Egg Replacer from Ener-G. They aren't perfect. Since then we've done a lot of work on the recipe and have come up with something close to a great cookie... once we have it right we'll share :) Liz Lovely is a bakery that distributes fantastic vegan and gluten free cookies (they are from Vermont) if you are looking for a quick fix. I think you can order their stuff online. We get them from a natural foods store near us.
Hi Vanessa, unfortunately I
Hi Vanessa, unfortunately I have bad reactions to most cosmetics and so don't wear makeup or hair product at all. Tom's of Maine is a good toothpaste (but read the ingredients for the flavor you select). Trader Joe's actually has a fennel toothpaste that's a little less expensive and might be okay (it's been a long time since I checked). For shampoo, I've settled on the Giovanni Tea Tree shampoo (the other variants have bad ingredients), for lotion I use sesame oil or coconut oil, which I also use on my lips. For soap, I use Dr. Bronners or an olive oil soap I found at whole foods. If you like beauty products, I am sorry that I don't have a better answer for you. I just make sure I take claritin and use cortisone cream on my face any time I absolutely have to wear makeup, and don't do it often. If you have found anything, I'd love to know what you found! It can be painful to experiment.

Hi Im also allergic to Soy, Dairy & Wheat. Im having trouble finding dental and beauty products that are free of these things that are effective & worth spending the money on.
Any suggestions of product lines I should look into or websites I can check out. I don't know anyone else with this problem :(
Hello! I was looking for
I was looking for gluten-soy-dairy free websites and I am pleased to find others in my boat. I recently went gluten/soy/dairy free too, but for wholly different reasons. It's hard at first - especially going to restaurants - but it's well worth the time, effort, and frustration.
I admit to being really curious about how your partner came up with gfsfcf chocolate chip cookies. I have yet to figure out how to do much beyond fruit/veggie smoothies, rice and/or bean dishes, protein bars, and meat preparation. I don't mind the simplicity, but I'm sure that my friends wouldn't mind sharing some good, gfsfcf-friendly cookies that I can eat too!
All the best!

I found your site by "googling" Stand Up To Cancer.
My son just booked a spot in a PSA (we are new to this, it was his second audition), and I am just trying to learn more about it.
My son, (named Andrew, age 7) is also a cancer survivor, so I am really interested in this effort (I havent heard of it before.)
Anyoo...if you know more about this campaign, would love to hear more about it.
Besides my blogspot, Andrew has his own website, that we used to keep people updated as he underwent 3.5 years of treatment for cancer.

Steel mills use arc furnaces that operate at more than 1,600 degrees Celsius. Temperature control is critical to ensure high-quality steel, yet even the nearby air temperature exceeds 60 degrees Celsius, and molten slag often spews up to 80 feet around the furnaces. Any volunteers to go check the furnace temperature?
Probably not. That's why industrial manufacturers around the world are increasingly turning to Emerson's Smart Wireless innovations for "extreme networking" needs.
Emerson experts have developed a range of wireless sensors that work in places where people can't go and where stringing wires isn't practical. In fact, Emerson is an industry leader in machine-to-machine communications today, with more than one billion hours of wireless sensor operations logged to date, spanning 10,000 plants, refineries, and chemical factories across the globe.
Emerson intelligence has all the extremes covered:
• Our sensors are monitoring for oil pipeline leaks on the North Slope of Alaska, in temperatures of minus 44 degrees Celsius, with wind chills as low as minus 56 degrees Celsius.• Emerson has developed solutions that handle extreme temperature change, such as our pipeline-monitoring devices in the Chilean desert that see temperatures ranging from minus 15 degrees Celsius to 40 degrees Celsius.• Our sensors are used in the deserts of the Middle East, where they must withstand not only sandstorms but also the occasional gnawing from passing camels.• Emerson solutions monitor operations at offshore oil and gas platforms, including deep undersea monitors.• We have devices operating in magnetic fields strong enough to break your watch.• And we make instruments that take important measurements in areas of sewage treatment plants where people technically could go but wouldn't really want to.
These types of machine-to-machine communications help take people out of harm's way, but they also provide intelligence to help people focus on the big picture.
Take steam traps, for example. These simple devices help manage the flow of steam throughout a refinery or processing plant, but they malfunction all too often. Emerson estimates that an average refinery can lose up to $4 million annually in energy costs because of malfunctioning steam traps.
Fixing those broken steam traps is simple enough … finding them is the problem. An average refinery has 8,000 to 10,000 of these steam traps, with 5 percent to 10 percent of them failing on average every year. Until now, the only way to inspect all of these traps was to send someone out to inspect each and every one. An inefficient job at best, and a dangerous one at times.
Emerson took on this challenge and developed a wireless sensor that solves this problem. With sensors monitoring performance of each steam trap, maintenance teams know exactly which ones need attention. Instead of searching for needles in 10,000 haystacks, refinery operators suddenly have pinpoint accuracy and can focus all of their time on meaningful maintenance.
Even as sensors like these dramatically improve industrial monitoring, Emerson engineers are looking to the next technology innovation: wireless control. Take, for example, an oil wellhead where wireless instruments not only measure the oil flow, but also directly control it safely and reliably without any wires.
With Emerson wireless sensors and devices operating on the IEC 62591 (WirelessHART) industry standard, approved for use in more than 120 countries today, and delivering state-of-the-art encryption and security that is approved for use by the Federal Information Processing Standard for sensitive information, Emerson is uniquely positioned to deliver intelligence to virtually any industrial facility.
And when that intelligence helps keep people safe and focused on driving efficiency, it's a powerful business advantage.

Stanley brothers
Stanley brothers
U.S. bluegrass duo. The duo consisted of Ralph (Edmund) Stanley (b. Feb. 25, 1927, Stratton, Va., U.S.) on banjo and Carter (Glen) Stanley (b. Aug. 27, 1925, McClure, Va.d. Dec. 1, 1966, Bristol, Va.) on lead guitar. The brothers rose to fame performing traditional religious songs in a traditional Appalachian bluegrass style marked by tight, high-pitched harmonies and strongly influenced by Bill Monroe. With their band, the Clinch Mountain Boys, they had several hit recordings. After Carter's death, Ralph reorganized the band. He has recorded more than 150 albums.

Recently I went on holiday to a lifelong stomping ground... Singapore! I love it there, the weather is yummy, the food is yummy and the shopping is delicious.
So when I was on the airplane on the way out, and I stumbled across an article in the airplane magazine - dont judge everyone gets that bored on a 14hr flight - about a new restaurant I was delighted...
So we went to try Iggy's...
The article.
It as WONDERFUL.
I am allergic to shellfish so they kindly made alterations to the menu giving me different dishes for those courses. Which was absolutely awesome of them, and it meant that I got Wagyu Beef capriccio with truffle cream, parmesan and rocket! It was the most perfect mouthful I have ever eaten. I really cant express quite how amazing it was. All I can offer is a series of rubbish iPhone pictures - no flashes allowed, plus even I dont have the nerve to bust out a huge Canon in that kind of establishment - I'm so sorry people these pictures are shameful... but they were the best I could do.
The Menu.
Fabulous walk to dining room was down this corridor... I want these light fittings. They are yummy like the food!
The perfect Wagyu Beef Carpaccio.
Iggy's Salad
Alba White Truffles - YUM!
The stunning White choc mousse and beetroot pudding.
Is that the prettiest thing you can eat ever?
Second pudding, because one is never enough - OBVI!
Treats with Tea and Coffee
You get to pick your own from a lovely wooden box.
My lovely Friend Toma and her adult choc lollipop.
My individual Tea set. Love it.
Also I just wanted to give a shout out to a new friend I met that night... Mentalia... you are so special.

Makes 8 servings
active time
45 minutes
total time
2 3/4 hours
- 2 1/4 teaspoons unflavored gelatin (from a 1/4-oz envelope)
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 10 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons brandy

Sean of Minneapolis, MN, writes:
Hi Peter,
My wife and I bought a Stearns & Foster Latex bed a year ago. It was an Oasis Saybrook Point latex model. Within a year, it had sagged so bad that we filed a warranty claim. It was approved and we have to select a new mattress from where we bought it. We are limited to Stearns & Foster or Sealy since it is a warranty replacement. I am 6'4" 250pds and my wife is 5'8" and 120 pds and we are both back and side sleepers.
We think we are down to the S&F Estate line and either a Eureka Springs or Freedom Parkway, both in the luxury firm with no pillowtop. We were wondering what the differences are between those two, both in materials and any other practical issues?
Also, we had heard that the latex beds are supposed to have the best longevity, but ours didn't. Just a bad mattress?
Hi Sean. Likely, just a bad mattress. While latex has always been the most durable, there is nothing that is produced by man that is all that it should be...every time. We often recommend those mattresses because of their comfort and the likelihood that you won't run into a problem with it. The ones we suggest avoiding, we know that the likelihood of it having a problem is much greater.
Of the 2 you mentioned, there is a layer of latex in the Freedom Pkwy that isn't in the Eureka Springs. They both have a layer of memory foam. There is a level in between them,
called Governor's Palace at that store, which has the layer of latex and no memory foam. There is also a little more poly foam with each step up the line. Other than the padding differences, all the Estate models are basically the same. The only real reason for going up the line from the Eureka Springs and spending the extra, is personal comfort. One isn't better than the other. Of the choices of comfort, the luxury firm tight top will hold its shape best. Rotating a mattress on a regular basis is key to maximizing its comfort life.

...if a visitor is allowed to bring a dog into a NO-PET building in NYC?
My nextdoor neighbor's friend has been bringing a very large pitbull into the building. Our front doors are 6 inches from each other. I'm not pleased. He's also been keeping the pit a few nights a week, I just found out from the Super (who has okayed it -- meaning, the 3 months are going to pass that allow a waiver). Does anyone know what the rules are for visitors/guests and dogs in a NO-PET building? (I've also posted in the Apartment Living Forum) Thanks.

It's not NYC laws, it's building policy and that is up to the owner. By-pass the super (he's a hired hand) and go straight to the building management or owner and let them know that the Super has allowed this, the dog scares you and that you thought you were in a no-pet building. |

Lost & Found Pets in Your Pocket – Android App Released
January 8th, 2013OK, so I'm not a natural born blogger and its been a while since I last published anything here but hey, its the quality not the quantity right?
Truth is, I only ever blog with I have something to announce or something to complain about and this post is no exception. Happily its an announcement in this case as you may have guessed from the title.
Today, version 1.0 of our free app for Android phones went live in the Google Play Store. Being version 1.0 and the first Android app I have developed, we're starting off pretty simple. The current feature set for the app is as follows:
Listings Near Me
View our current listings in your area using Google maps and the geolocation facilities on your phone, depending on which providers you have enabled, radio, wi-fi or full GPS. You can limit the display of listings to either lost, or found, or both. Each listing on the map is represented by a marker just as on the maps on our website, red ones for lost listings, green for found and also, just as on the site, tapping on any marker will reveal a summary of that listing along with a photo of the pet if available. Tapping on a summary takes you to the listing details screen – see below.
Listings Search
You may also search our listings using a simple form which allows you to filter results by listing type (lost, found or both), pet type (dog, cat etc.) and county. Results are returned most recent first, 10 at a time to use as little bandwidth as possible with 10 more being pulled down as you scroll down through the list – infinite scrolling of a finite list – confusing, I know. Each result once again features a summary of the listing and a photo if available and just as with the map view, tapping on a listing will take you to to the listing details screen.
Listing Details
Just as with our mobile site, each listing gets its own details screen featuring 3 tabs, one for the pets details, one with facilities to contact the person who posted the listing and the final one to allow you to easily share listings.
On the pet details tab, you can view all the details for that particlar pet as well as a photo if one is available. You can expand this photo to fullscreen by clicking on the little expander button at the top right of the photo.
The contact tab provides the contact name of the person who posted the listing as well as buttons to allow you to easily directly call that contact, pre-populating your dialer with their number, email them via a simple form or send them an SMS which we also pre-populate for you – all you have to do is add your own personal message.
The sharing tab features a single button which launches the standard Android sharing dialog from which you can choose an app (email, Facebook, Twitter or Google+ etc) to share a listing with family, friends or colleagues.
Additional Features
Finally, the app features facilities to send us feedback via another simple form and to share the app with others – obviously, the more phones we are on, the more chance we have of getting pets reunited.
Does It Run On My Phone?
Currently the app only supports phones running Ice Cream Sandwich or above (ICS – Android 4.0+). I would like to support older devices but I don't have anything to test on so if you have an older android phone or device running Honeycomb (Android 3.0) you are no longer using that you would like to provide/donate for testing, please let me know.
Will There Be An IPhone App?
Unlikely. Due to the time and resources necessary to develop on IOS it's pretty unlikely we will release an iPhone app (at least without some form of sponsorship). However, iPhone users still have the mobile version of our site which contains all the functionality of our Android app – at least at present.
Ratings Count!
If you find the app useful and want to show your support for the site and the idea behind it, please rate the app in the Google Play Store and share it with your family, friends and colleagues.
I've thrown up some screenshots of the app below for your delicatation but you can go ahead and install the app right now direct from the Google Play Store.

Website Comes of Age – Self Service Listing Updates
November 25th, 2011Up until recently, the main focus in the development work on the site has been on getting the listings out to as many people as possible via the social networks where we have communities. Now, at long last, I've finally finished coding up the listing update facility.
If you have posted a listing on the site and need to amend it, you simply go to your listing page and choose the 'Manage' tab at the top of the listing. You will now find a link there to initiate the update process. When you click that link, we send an email to the email address originally posted with the listing which contains a link to a web page which allows you to update your listing, add a photo, amend the gender etc – basically whatever you need to change.
Initially at least, we won't have an approval process, so updates you make will be immediate. The listing will retain its original web address so links to the listing you have already shared and posters you may have printed out will still point to the correct location on the site.
In addition to updating the information displayed on your listing page, we automatically send out a post to our Facebook page, and a tweet on our Twitter account to alert folk that the listing has been updated. In the case of Facebook, we also add a comment to the original post, alerting anyone who may be subscribed to the comments that the listing has been updated and that they should go check it on the main site. We also alert the search engines again to let them know that the content on your listing page has been updated and that they should re-crawl it.
If your listing didn't originally feature a photo but now does, this photo will be also sent to our Flickr account, as well as to our accounts on Twitpic. Same thing happens if either your listing keeps its original photo or you decide to replace the original one with a better/clearer one. In those cases we also upload the new photo to Flickr but this time we also add a link to the original photo to the new photo and vice versa so folk can find any previous information that may have been added before and after the update. The photos are also reissued on Twitpic. With the launch of Google Plus, we are ceasing support for Picasa for which we have exceed our upload allowance for in any case by a factor of 4 at this point.
You may have noticed there is no mention of Bebo and MySpace in the update process described above and that is intentional. With the virtual demise of these sites in terms of their popularity here in Ireland, and with the launch of Google Plus, I feel it makes more sense at the point to put our limited resources into the communities which are thriving and engaged and neither Bebo or MySpace has ever really shone for us in terms of user engagement or interaction in any case. Eventually my intention is to phase our presence out on those networks entirely.
I hope you find the new features useful. They will also hopefully free up a little time for me to add yet more new features to the site. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave a message below or drop me an email.

Ireland's Lost and Found Dogs, Cats & Other Pets Now on Google+
November 10th, 2011In our continuing drive for complete Web domination for our lost and found pet listings we are happy to announce that you can now find our official page on Google+ (or Google Plus if you prefer).
Our engagement with Google's social networking efforts has been relatively sparce up until now. We did have a Google Buzz account to which we piped our listing Tweets and we also had a dedicated Google Wave, I even went so far as to code a bot to automatically respond to listing requests from our Wave participants but both these services have since been axed by Google.
However, it looks like Google+ is here to stay, particularly with the fundamental seachange in search to a social model. Now when users who are logged into Google (including GMail users as well as those using Google Plus) conduct searches, the results they see are increasingly influenced by the activities of others in their social circles that Google is aware of such as friends, family and colleagues, in an attempt to increase personal relevance of the results. Much like the Facebook 'Like' button, the Google +1 button aims to fuel a recommendation engine for the entire Internet to make its search results, more relevant and therefore more useful to its users, and more users equals more advertising revenue for them. To put it another way, if one of your friends '+1's a particular web page or site, you are much more likely to see it in your results than if your friend had not 'recommended it'.
So, what does this mean for Lost and Found Pets Ireland and more especially the visibility of the listings here in Google search results. Well, as with our listings on Facebook, in order to maximise the reach of the listings in people's searches and their news streams on Google Plus, those who list here should 'like' and '+1′ their own listings and make a concerted effort to get their family and friends to do likewise in order to get the listing out there to the maximum extent possible. All pages on the site, including the listing pages, include a '+1′ button as well as a 'like' facility and I cannot stress highly enough the importance of using these. While I have done my best to automate the distribution of listings around the web via our networks, the change in search I spoke of above now gives YOU the power to make the absolute most of the technology.
Similar to Facebook Fan Pages, this week, Google opened up facilities to businesses and organisations to create Google+ Pages. As mentioned above, users = advertising revenue for both Facebook and Google and therefore it is difficult to imagine that Google will not use its substantial lead over Facebook in providing search to promote its own social network by favouring its own 'pages' in search results and that is basically why we are now on Google+. Its also worth noting that our presence on there makes accessing the listings from mobile devices somewhat easier for folk as there are Google+ apps now for all the main phones out there and these will compliment our own mobile site.
At the moment, I am posting listings there manually while I await Google to provide a facility to automate that process as Facebook have. With on average around 10 listings per day, this is obviously quite a time consuming activity and I will be closely monitoring (both in terms of user engagement with our Google+ page (whether folk are adding it to their circles and +1'ing the listings & site and in terms of performance of listings in the Google search results) whether the extra effort is really worth it or if I should simply wait until an automated solution is possible so again, you basically get to decide on the resources I put into this.
I'm curious to hear your thoughts on Google+ and any ideas you may have to make it even more useful for folk using the site. Just drop a comment below.

Pets in your Pocket – Mobile Site Goes Live
June 13th, 2011First off, belated happy birthday to us as the site is now two years old. As a practical form of thanks to everyone who has given their encouragement, support and advice on this project, I have today released version 1.0 of our mobile site.
Will It Work With My Phone?
The Lost and Found Pets Ireland mobile site should be compatible with the majority of 'smartphones' out there now including iPhone, Symbian, Android, Blackberry and Windows Mobile based devices. While it is not intended as a full replacement for the main website in terms of functionality, I think there is enough there to make it useful for many – especially considering that almost 8% of our traffic at this point is coming from Facebook mobile.
So What Can It Do?
The mobile site allows users to search and view our listings just as they can on our main site. Search results can be filtered by status (lost, found or both), species (dog, cat etc) and county. Full listing details are available along with facilities to easily call or text the person who posted the free listing.
If you have a GPS device built into or attached to your phone and a browser that supports it such as Mobile Safari (iPhone/iPod) or a Webkit based browser such as those found on Android and Symbian devices you can view a map which displays the listings around your current location.
Finally for now, there is a simple feedback form which you are welcome to use to let us know how you are finding the site, your ideas for improvements etc.
OK, Sounds Good – Where Is It?
Those using mobile browsers will be automatically redirected to the mobile version by default. You can disable this by clicking on the 'View Full Site' button on the mobile site homepage. For those of you on regular PC's and those of you who wish to re-enable the default redirection, there is a graphic link just below the logo on the main site.
The Mobile Future
I hope later in the year to release an Android app which will provide full site functionality. Given the costs involved in creating an iPhone app it is unlikely I will be providing one in the near future without some form of sponsorship.
Final Thanks
Building a mobile site which works consistently across so many different devices is not a simple endeavour and I want to think some folk for their help with testing, specifically Siobhan Borgo for help on the Android side of things, @CookiieDivine for the indispensable iPhone/iPod screenshots and @SoniaKd and @LindaHayden1 for feedback on the UX.

Ask a Beta Tester: Death Knight-free edition {WoW}
Aug 8th 2008 12:05PM Paladins do have a huge amount of changes coming, and I am quite happy about them. I am also very skeptical of them as well because of PvPers QQ'ing over the changes (Which got us our Illumination nerf in TBC). Go ahead and roll one because regardless, the core changes that have been made change how we play, tons, and in which will make it a lot more enjoyable than HL7 FoL FoL FoL FoL HL7 (repeat). Our tier 4 and 5 set bonuses actually become more viable as we can now gain a 20 yard range on Judgements that gives us up to 10% haste (That's what, 2.27 sec HL's, 1.36 sec FoL's without any additional haste gear?).
In the end, I still have my priest and warlock that will be picked up in a heartbeat if anything new and defining gets nerfed upon release or the first content patch.
The Death Knight starting experience {WoW}
Aug 7th 2008 2:10PM The Death Knight experience is, in my opinion, what every class should have to start out with, to give a more unique feel. With Ebon Hold and the eastern most part of EPL being instanced, it creates a unique experience. That gets the feel of the class established and it lets you have a little fun in the process. It would be nice to see a buff to how people start out, maybe not class specific but maybe race. Each race goes through an instanced questline that tells a story. That would be so much more fun then grinding through 10 levels of pure boredom.
Ask a beta tester: Death Knights and Dalaran {WoW}
Jul 29th 2008 11:42AM You end up being what you originally choose. I would shoot myself if I ever had to fight along a gnome who called himself a member of the Horde, I don't care what battle it is...
Ask a beta tester: Death Knights and Dalaran {WoW}
Jul 29th 2008 11:39AM In regards the spellpower, it looks like with all the changes in the spells, a healing spell puts out more in wrath than it does currently in TBC, for paladins at least. I admit, even after knowing about spellpower, seeing the character pane in Wrath freaked me out (Damage and Healing haven't been unified in the UI, and it looks like some gear hasn't made the spellpower conversion) because it showed only about 1000 +healing (I really have over 2000+).
It's beta, lots of things are changing, and lots of things will change up until the day of release, and then we get to watch PvP QQ over what has been changed, and then one major content patch later, NERF!
Forum post of the day: Epic choices {WoW}
Jul 25th 2008 11:24AM I've been playing since closed beta, but until BC came out, my highest toon was 39 (no, not a twink). I didn't have enough time to set aside to play and have rerolled many times because I delete a character because I think I'm done playing.
I found my passion (and hate) when I leveled a Blood Elf Paladin, endgame. Yes, the loots awesome, it took a lot to get it, and it's going to suck to see it rot away in my bank as I pick up better questing crap in Northrend, but I really won't fuss over it. BC told it's story, and through experiencing it, you get the gear you need to progress on. The story has ended (Or so we think), and we're moving on to the Lich King. We'll conquer battle grounds time and time again to do the same thing, we'll see a couple top guilds break over a boss or instance, it's all a big revolving circle.
Our passion is our own, there are four ways it can go (Leveling, endgame, pvp, rp), we all have our niche.
Soon to be 2.4.3 {WoW}
Jul 15th 2008 1:19PM I have two alts, one being a 21 rogue and another a 22 Huntard. Think I'll be bringing both of them up in the next week or two and enjoying being mounted through desolace. Then I'll go buy my Pallys S4 gloves, and then laugh at Rogues qq'ing over the CD nerf.
US registration for Wrath beta now open {WoW}
Jul 3rd 2008 3:22PM I was just about the find the post from earlier and comment about it. Signed up and eagerly awaiting :)
Official PTR boards and character copy are up, but no PTRs are active {WoW}
Jun 18th 2008 11:40AM It's probably, as predicted, a last minute test for season 4 and maybe some minor bug fixes (Void Reaver, finally?). There's not much more they can do between now and Wrath, other than their possible filler that they talked about a few months ago.
We have less than a week to test whatever it is, most likely, doubtful it's anything more than bugs and the new arena gear.
Is it really OK for Arthas to be 10-mannable? {WoW}
May 12th 2008 12:09AM In the ultimate ending, since Blizzard has progressed to different raid sizes, why not have the ability to enter Icecrown as a full 40 man raid, hardest content out there with the best loot possible? It would satisfy nearly every raiding crowd playing WoW currently, and allow the more reserved guilds a chance to really put their guild to the test. I'll get flamed for this, I am sure, but think about it. 10, 25, and 40 man versions of Icecrown would be truly epic. It's going to be the toughest encounter yet (at least I am sure we all hope it will be), why not throw in the old 40 man? Yes only 2% or so of the population would be able to actually do it, but it offers that aspect and chance at getting gear that very few would be able to get.
Is it really OK for Arthas to be 10-mannable? {WoW}
May 11th 2008 1:18AM The developers did mention that 25 man content is going to be available before the 10 man content will for the sheer fact that raids could sit in the 10 man until they have encounters down pat, and then go potentially one shot the 25 man version.
I look at it this way, the Original and TBC end game raids were more tuned for the players that could dedicate weeks upon months of time learning encounters just to down them. Wrath looks to be a focus at more of letting the not-so-hardcore players take a shot at the prominent bad guys in the game. It's a chance to rectify a theoretical mistake Blizzard made in tuning raid encounters.
One thing that I think would be really good and cool would be to tie the 10 and 25 man versions of Icecrown together. One of them being that you have a certain time frame in which the same raid would have to "down" the Lich King and continue on to the 25 man version to actually defeat him. Another being that two raids (One 10 man, one 25 man, 35 in total) working together in both raids (similar to the Kaelcgos fight with the portal system) to down the Lich King.
I think we as a community are taking the little information that we have been given on how the instance/raid content will work, and blowing it out of proportion. There's a lot of experimentation that has occurred in TBC in many aspects, and I would only imagine, since Icecrown won't be released for quite some time after Wrath, that the experimentation will continue and the whole idea might change.
In the end I am sure both versions of the Icecrown instance will be epic in their separate ways. Yes it doesn't seem plausible that 10 players can take down a boss that easily defeated Illidan, nor does it seem plausible that 25 players can do it, but Blizzard is going to make it so. If you put it into a reality perspective, it could take as many as 80 or more people to even make a dent in what the Lich King's purpose really serves.
I'm sure we all QQ'ed when Illidan was only a 25 man, but the encounter itself was difficult, right? It was epic in its own way, Icecrown and the defeat of the Lich King will be too.
