Remembering 50 years ago, I came across this background of the 50-mile craze of the early 1960s. This, of course, included the start of the JFK 50. The 50-mile craze could be hiking or something as simple as checking off a mile (running, swimming, whatever) on a scorecard until you reached 50.
Thanks for sharing that. I'm running JFK 50 tomorrow, and had heard bits and pieces of its history, but not the whole story of the 50-mile hike sweeping the country. Very cool.
Since everyone else is blogging: http://karenrunsfar.blogspot.com/Upcoming Races: 1/17 Charleston Marathon, 4/12 Cherry Blossom 10 Miler, 4/26 Glass City Marathon

Human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DC) (MoDC) are utilized for immunotherapy. However, in-vitro immunological effects are often not mirrored in vivo. We studied the tissue-homing potential of MoDC. Circulating monocytes and DC expressed different tissue-homing markers and, during in-vitro development of MoDC, homing marker expression was lost resulting in a 'homeless' phenotype. Retinoic acid (RA) induced gut-homing markers (β7 and CCR9) and a regulatory phenotype and function [decreased human leucocyte antigen D-related (HLA-DR) and increased ILT3 and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC-dextran uptake) in MoDC]. RA-MoDC were less stimulatory and primed conditioned T cells with a gut-homing profile (β7+CLA−). Unlike the normal intestinal microenvironment, that from inflamed colon of ulcerative colitis (UC) patients did not induce regulatory properties in MoDC. However, RA-MoDC maintained their regulatory gut-specific properties even in the presence of UC microenvironment. Therefore, MoDC may be ineffectual for immunotherapy because they lack tissue-homing and tissue-imprinting specificity. However, MoDC rehabilitation with gut-homing potential by RA could be useful in promoting immunotherapy in pathologies such as UC.

I know I posted the granite earlier, but I wanted to show you with the sinks in. My kids really like it. There will be a mirror with a black frame installed above it too. |

It's awesome! I'd go with black & white photos also but I think that some nature scenes or subjects, along the line of Ansel Adams, would be amazing. Art.com is a good source and I also just found this website which has some pretty cool photos.... http://www.visionlightgallery.com/gallery/Black_White_Photo_Art_By_Sub_C225.cfm This one may not be the best for your room because it's rather literal, but I thought it was both inspiring and humorous at the same time.... It's titled "Resilience" (!) |
Nice! Reminds me of my MIL's palladio granite. |

Love the granite, but the sink is a bit harsh and contrasty with it I think. Something in Kohler's Cashmere, Thunder Gray, or Ice Gray would let the granite be the star it's meant to be. |

Love it!!! Your blog post on the shoe storage in your closet made me LOL though. Boy you sure do have a LOT of footwear!!! |
I love the granite, that is super cool! Although I do agree with the above poster, another sink would likely be a better choice, the one selected is to plain jane. |

At the risk of piling on the sink comments, I was wondering if there was a particular reason why you opted for a drop-in sink as opposed to an undermount which would have been less obtrusive and allow the granite to be the focal point? Your counter is really stunning and maybe there's no way you'd consider switching out a perfectly good sink... or is there...(?) |
- Posted by podogpodog (My Page) on Sat, Jul 14, 12 at 13:24
Hi everybody! Thanks for the comments. They are all super helpful. This is our first home we are building and any ideas are greatly appreciated. Cost is a big factor for us right now. The house has gotten bigger as we have gone along. Bigger houses mean bigger costs. We got a really good deal from our plumber on the sinks. We will possibly switch them out later. I love the grey sink by the way! I really wanted the undermounted sinks but our plumber swayed us away from them. He said if they ever need to be worked on or replaced that you would have to remove the entire countertop. I REALLy wanted the drop in sinks. Oh well.....I am still happy with pretty much everything. Thanks again for all of the great ideas and comments. You are very helpful. Keep em' coming. :) |
I am in the process of remodeling my bathroom and I am installing a vanity with the same door/drawer layout as yours. I was thinking of installing my sink off center as you have done, but am concerned about having enough room in front of the sink with the vanity being butted up against the wall on the left. Are you comfortable with the amount of room you have? Are you planning on having your mirror sized the width of the whole vanity or only the sink portion of the vanity? Also, what is the width of your vanity? Thanks! |
I absolutely love that granite and agree that you can always change the sink later--to be honest, once you have in the mirror, etc., you probably won't even mind the sink. |
The granite is so fun! It reminds me of a pond where frogs would sit on lillypads. I'm with everyone else...the stark plain white sink just clashes with the counter. |
- Posted by podogpodog (My Page) on Mon, Jul 16, 12 at 18:16
CarolT924, I plan on putting a mirror across the whole area of the cabinet. There is enough room on the left side for a toothbrush holder and I put some jars on the other side to hold Q-Tips, cotton balls, etc. The length is about 3 feet. :) |
Thanks for the info, my vanity is 42 inches wide and I am thinking of possibly having a mirror over the left side where the sink would be and installing a couple of floating shelves on the right or do the same as you are planning and have a mirror about as wide as the vanity. Your countertop is great and definitely a statement piece, enjoy! |

That's granite?? Wow, is it cool!! I've never seen any stone like that at all. I'd like to know what geological phenomena caused it to look that way! |

The granite is a marinace (my kitchen is black and gold marinace, this may be the same or just be black marinace as it doesn't have as many brown/gold tones as mine). It's literally the bottom of a prehistoric river bed in Brazil. All the rocks at the bottom of the river were filled in by black basalt from a lava flow. The granite slab is a cross-section of that resulting mega-conglomerate rock. |

I had my Black Marinace (Mar in a chee) installed yesterday.There are different color variations of the Marinace granite. They also had Brown Marinace at my stone yard and it was really nice too. I think there is a Gold Marinace, as well. I went with the black as we have dark grey floors and white tiles. It is a contemporary bathroom and DH is building the floating vanity (no drawer fronts yet and sinks not installed. no hardware or mirror chosen yet) I will post pics when we are closer to being finished. In a way it is a shame because with our vanity top we are putting in 2 sinks so you will not see as much of the countertop as yours with the single sink. Love the granite though! It is considered an exotic granite. |
- Posted by podogpodog (My Page) on Tue, Jul 17, 12 at 15:39
I would love to see pictures of both of your granite countertops. I bet a brown variation would be beautiful. This was just a remnant piece we purchased from our granite dealer. It was just big enough for the vanity. Can you imagine how beautiful a kitchen would look with this granite?? |
- Posted by Gone_South (My Page) on Tue, Jul 17, 12 at 16:05
Here's my kitchen countertop with black gold marinace. We had it brushed/leathered and it's very cool to see and to feel! |

Boardwalk Breakfast Empire — Rolling Out the Great Food Truck Race
by Joseph Erdos in Shows, August 9th, 2013
The start of the fourth season of The Great Food Truck Race is just a little more than a week away. Every day leading up to the premiere on Sunday, August 18 at 9pm/8c, FN Dish is introducing a new food truck team. With $50,000 in prize money and a free food truck on the line, it's a high-stakes race to the finish line.
Food Truck: Boardwalk Breakfast Empire
Team Members: Joanne, Tim, Ilene (pictured above)
Home Base: Sea Bright, N.J.
Food Concept: Comfort foods with a breakfast twist
Joanne and her friends Ilene and Tim want to bring their Jersey Shore spirit to the rest of the nation with their comfort food breakfast offerings as Boardwalk Breakfast Empire. Joanne's well-known restaurant, Steve's Breakfast and Lunch, which she ran for 27 years, was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. Unable to reopen the eatery, she is now determined to reinvent it as a food truck business. With dishes like the famous Hangover Helper Breakfast bringing in long lines of customers at the former restaurant, the team is sure they'll be able to quickly grow a new customer base. Winning a food truck would mean rebuilding the business as well as their dream.

How to Tell if Community College is Right for You
So you're ready to make a big decision about your next step in life – is community college the right choice for you?
A community college offers students a wide range of benefits and is a good choice for many people. Some students go through a lot of preparation to determine what they want to do after they graduate and where they want to go in life. Adults too may find themselves at a cross roads where they have the option to return to college for a degree or further training. Thousands of students, in every state, enroll in community college and find the experience to be very worthwhile. Community college might be especially good for you if you can answer yes to any of these points.
1. Cost is a major factor in your decision.
Tuition is usually a lot cheaper at a community college than it is at a four year college or university. You can save money by taking classes at a community college, and even if you transfer on to another college for a higher degree, those first few years of education will cost you less at the community college. Two years at a four year school could cost you $40,000 but those same two years at a community college may cost half that or less! This option is great for recent high school graduates, adult students, and returning college students who need more education and training . . . read more

Students heading to community college this fall may see some new features at their otherwise familiar campuses. Many schools have spent the summer months getting ready for the next academic year adding a wide range of options designed to attract students from all demographics. Check out five new features community college students may discover when they head back to the ivied halls this fall.
New Technology
As community colleges strive to bring their training in line with 21st century workforce needs, more technology is coming to schools across the country. For example, Diverse Issues in Higher Education reports that Prince George's Community College has added innovative technology to the school's state-of-the-art nursing program. The school invested $43 million into a new Center for Health Studies in an effort to accommodate a growing population of STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) students at the school.
Simulated mannequins are now used inside the center to teach nursing students the finer points of diagnosis and patient care. The nursing lab also boasts transparent mirrors where professors can observe students during diagnosis trials. Updated equipment, including sonography and surgical tools, are similar to those used at nearby hospital facilities in the Prince George area.
"Since nursing and health fields in general are among the fastest growing jobs, we really wanted this building to help make room for more health science students," Angela Anderson, dean of the division of Health Sciences at Prince George's Community College, told Diverse Issues in Higher Education.

Community colleges are a vital part of the world of higher education in the United States. With a long and illustrious history, these institutions have seen more than their share of trends over the decades. Check out these important trends in community colleges that are expected to continue throughout 2013.
More High School Students Taking Community College Classes
High school students interested in getting a head start on higher education are discovering the benefits in dual enrollment in community college classes while still in high school. The Wall Street Journal calls these head start programs a low-cost way for students to gain college credits, which makes it that much easier for them to attain a two or four-year college degree in the future. Community colleges are also now partnering with local high schools to provide remedial education that prepares them for college-level work prior to high school graduation.
More Traditional Students on Community College Campuses
The New York Times has reported an increase in high school graduates attending community college right after high school, with the intention of obtaining a four-year degree through a transfer program. With a sluggish economy and much focus on the extent of student debt today, community colleges are now seen as a viable and cost-effective alternative to getting a start in the world of higher education. As younger students begin to permeate community college campuses, the demographics and overall environment of community colleges may be changing as well.
Additional Campus Housing Available . . . read more
Community colleges have come a long way since their inception. Instead of falling into the ranks of the "fallback" plan, many of these schools have now become a first choice for students looking to change career direction or explore higher education for the first time. With a focus on the community college system in recent years, the changes on these campuses have been even more pronounced, with a wider variety of degree programs, services and even on-campus housing. Check out these five ways community colleges have evolved to become full-service institutions of higher education.
Greater Diversity in Degree Programs
Community colleges were typically known for their relatively generic, liberal arts degree programs, but not any longer. Today's student can choose from a wide range of two-year degrees, ranging from fine arts to engineering. Many of the degree programs at community colleges today are industry-centric, meaning they focus on training individuals for jobs in the local market. Schools even partner with employers in the community to ensure the training students receive at the community college can take them right into the workforce.
Some of the unique and interesting programs you might find at your local community college today include:
· Sustainable Agriculture
· Computer Engineering
· Exercise Science
· Nursing and Healthcare
· Manufacturing Engineering
Even fields like culinary arts, funeral home management and criminal justice can be studied at some community colleges. No matter what you are interested in . . . read more
The latest report from the American Association of Community Colleges "tells it like it is," calling the American Dream imperiled and asking two-year colleges across the country to raise the bar on higher education standards. While the new report does offer some positive feedback on the current condition of community colleges in terms of growth and success, it also provides feedback on where schools are lacking and what can be done to bring these institutions to the place where they can serve students and the business community most effectively. There are seven problems and seven solutions, providing a blueprint colleges can use to improve the quality of education and professional training across the board.
Shifting the Focus
The Chronicle of Higher Education explains that this report, titled, "Reclaiming the American Dream: Community Colleges and the Nation's Future," is the culmination of several months of research by a 38-member community. Those involved in the report include college presidents, education-policy experts and leaders of non-profit groups.
"This is a brutally honest report," Walter Bumphus, president of the American Association of Community Colleges, told the Chronicle. "For years we have been focused on access, and now we need to turn our attention equally to student access. It takes courage to say we can do better."
The report offers a new perspective to the condition of community colleges, beyond their commitment to an open-admission policy and providing access to students who are typically underserved. Once the students are enrolled in the school, their success . . . read more

Qdoba's culinary crafters craft succulent fillings for burritos, tacos, nachos, and quesadillas, including protein-packing choices, such as slow-roasted pulled pork, adobo-marinated grilled steak or chicken, and spiced shredded or ground beef, with vegetarian options also available. Taste the gooey flavor accents of the signature queso sauce, a three-cheese blend with roasted poblanos, tomatoes, and jalapeños, the pinto or black beans simmered in cumin and onion, or the creamy, hand-smashed guacamole that's ideal for filling up Queen Elizabeth's diamond-studded guacamole chalice. Tortilla chips with salsa bar and desserts complete each catered event, and customers can opt for burrito-boxed lunches and any add-ons.
Carmina's Mexican Food, opened in 1988, serves up Mexican classics such as burritos, tacos, and tortas in an unassuming eatery. Patrons who want to sample a few entrees can either ask neighboring diners for a bite or order one of the combination plates, which come with rice and beans. To round out the menu, the kitchen staff also builds shrimp cocktails and scrambles eggs for breakfast burritos and huevos rancheros.
On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina shares its menu of Mexican comestibles in nearly every U.S. state and more than four countries, acquainting diners worldwide with the classic recipes and innovative ingredients of the Tex-Mex tradition. Chefs bundle enchiladas, burritos, and chimichangas with surprising flavors such as beef brisket and chile pesto while sizzling platters reinvent traditional fajitas with the addition of ranch, bacon, and cold-fusion technology.
Bubba Jack's serves up gourmet southern cuisine in a comfortable eatery with a relaxed, SoCal-style vibe. Specialties include fried deviled eggs, hand-cut steaks grilled over wood chips, and flavorful beer-can chicken. In the bar, drinksmiths serve wine, cocktails served in Mason jars, and more than 200 types of beer, which patrons can sip while relaxing in rocking chairs or watching sports on flat-screen TVs.
Red paper lanterns hang from Chapter Two California Kitchen's interior, illuminating a yellow dining room where American and Thai flavors collide. The fusion eatery's Heart Attack sandwich, for example, is pure Americana: country-fried steak with white sauce and grilled onions, all between two golden slabs of garlic bread. However, the menu also brims with Thai staples, from pad thai and pad see ew to jok?rice pudding with a savory twist.
In 1975, Rosina Gallardo, a native of Zacatecas, Mexico, opened her first Amapola Rico Taco. Initially a drive-in, the eatery has since transformed into five restaurants with indoor seating and drive-thru windows. Rosina's dedication to popular and lesser-known Mexican flavors, however, remains unchanged. She fills burritos and soft-shell tacos with not only classic meats such as steak and pork, but also with goat, carne asada, and chicharr?n. Other Mexican staples such as cheese enchiladas and breakfast platters of huevos rancheros round out the menu.

US 7081760 B2 Abstract A method for diagnosing induction motor broken bar faults using the resultant magnetic field pendulous oscillation phenomenon is disclosed. Broken bar faults cause the resultant magnetic field of an induction motor to possess a pendulous oscillation modulating its inherent rotation at synchronous speed, and the range of this angular pendulous oscillation, referred to as the swing angle, increases with an increase in the number of broken bars. The angular pendulous oscillation is determined by calculating the space vectors derived from motor terminal voltages and currents. The variation in the angular difference between these two space vectors versus time is used to observe the resultant magnetic field's pendulous oscillation, and thus provide on-line rotor fault diagnostics.

Description The field of the invention is electrical machinery fault diagnostics and in particular it relates to the detection of rotor faults in induction motors. Industrial users of induction motors are interested in finding reliable procedures for rotor fault detection and diagnostics, since a sudden motor failure may be very damaging or catastrophic in an industrial system, in which the electric motor is a prime mover. These motor failures can force expensive shutdowns of factory production and consequently reduce productivity. Hence, maintenance schedules are provided to proactively reduce or prevent these failures. Nevertheless, the probability of a sudden motor failure cannot be entirely ruled out. Moreover, increasing the frequency of scheduled maintenance increases the cost and decreases the productivity of a system. Accordingly, an online fault diagnostic system becomes a valuable tool to increase industrial productivity and process reliability. Accordingly, different methods have been investigated and reported to detect rotor faults in induction motors that either make use of off-line detectors or require installing an additional tool in an induction motor. These methods require speed (or slip) measurement (or determination) or require knowledge of other motor parameters. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,808,932 discloses a broken bar detector that requires the installation of a flux coil wound on one of the stator teeth of an induction motor. This requires motor disassembly, unless the flux coil is installed at the time of manufacturing or rewinding. Moreover, this special arrangement increases the cost and decreases the reliability of the diagnostic system. U.S. Pat. No. 5,049,815 discloses a broken bar detector that requires an accurate determination of the motor slip frequency. Determining slip frequency, from monitoring the current drawn by a motor in order to track the side band components as an index for fault diagnostic, reduces the reliability of the diagnostic system particularly for induction motor-drive systems, where the supply frequency varies by a closed loop control-drive system. U.S. Pat. No. 6,650,122 discloses a rotor analyzer which requires an electromagnetic coil. Basically this analyzer is not an on-line detector, but instead checks a rotor that is not installed within a motor's stator housing. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for diagnosing conductive discontinuities in the bars of rotors in induction motors, which is on-line and does not require motor disassembly or service interruption. It is another object to provide a rotor fault diagnosing tool, which does not require any additional sensor or device to a motor or motor-drive system, thus utilizing the motor monitoring and data processing capabilities already residing in the drive. It is still another object to provide a rotor fault diagnosing tool, which does not require motor slip or speed measurement (or determination) within the diagnostic system. It is yet another object to provide a rotor fault diagnosing tool, which does not require knowledge of any motor parameters such as motor inductances (reactances) and/or resistances. Another object is to provide a rotor fault diagnosing tool, which is non-invasive of the motor operating environment. In accordance with the above objects, there is provided a method and apparatus for diagnosing rotor broken bar faults in an induction motor operating at steady state. This method and apparatus is based on a rotor's magnetic field pendulous oscillation phenomenon. This phenomenon indicates the rotor magnetic field orientation has a pendulous oscillation due to the presence of a broken bar fault modulating its main motion at synchronous speed. Moreover, the more the severity of the fault in the rotor cage, the wider the range for the resulting pendulous oscillation of the rotor magnetic field orientation. This oscillation in the rotor magnetic field affects the resultant magnetic field in a similar modulating manner, which can be detected by measuring a so-called �swing angle� signal. The swing angle is the angle of the space vector of the poly-phase terminal currents with respect to the angle of the space vector of the poly-phase terminal voltages. In order to obtain the swing angle, the signals of terminal currents and voltages are digitized, stored and digitally processed using a space vector formulation. This process leads to the computation of the fundamental component of the swing angle, which is used as an index for rotor fault diagnosis. The purpose of use of this fundamental component is to reduce the effects of inherent measurement instrumentation and environmental noises. Thus, use of this fundamental component adds to the reliability, and robustness, of the present diagnostic system. The digital tracing process of the fundamental component of the said angle is achieved in a narrow range at low frequency. The peak to peak of the swing angle signal indicates the degree of severity of a rotor cage fault (defect). If no significant oscillation is found, the rotor is declared to be fault-free. However, if the swing angle amplitude is found to be greater than a predetermined threshold for healthy motors depending on a given class of such motors, then the swing angle amplitude indicates the presence of a defect or fault in the rotor cage. Further an even larger swing angle amplitude provides an indication of the severity of such a rotor fault. A well established principle is that magnetic fields rotate at synchronous speed in an induction motor. However, the rotor magnetic field and consequently the resultant magnetic field will have a pendulous oscillation superposed on its main motion at synchronous speed, when there is a rotor broken bar fault or a rotor bar defect. The frequency of this pendulous oscillation is equal to twice the slip frequency, which is typically less than 10% of the supply frequency. Moreover, the range (or peak to peak) of this oscillation (swing) increases with a corresponding increase in the number of broken bars or rotor bar defects. The magnitude of this pendulous oscillation and its- frequency are introduced and used in the present invention for induction motor rotor fault diagnostics. The rotor magnetic field pendulous oscillation phenomenon is further described in Mirafzal and Demerdash, �Induction machine broken-bar fault diagnosis using the rotor magnetic field space-vector orientation�, IEEE Transaction on Industry Applications., Vol. 40, pp. 534�542, March/April 2004, and Mirafzal and Demerdash, �Induction machine broken-bar fault diagnosis using the rotor magnetic field space vector orientation�, Proceedings of the 38th IEEE-IAS Annual Meeting, Salt Lake City, Utah, October 2003, Vol. 3, pp. 1847�1857. The diagnostic system of the present invention and its associated algorithm are generally indicated in The output signals of the voltage and current sensors 11, 12 are sampled, with a common resolution rate, and converted to a series of digital values by an analog to digital converter 16 with a suitable sampling frequency. A suitable sampling frequency (or rate) for a standard power supply (source) 13 with a line frequency, e.g. 60 Hz, can be 4 KHz (4000 samples per second), and the sampling frequency (or rate) in case of a PWM based voltage (or current) source can be four times that of the carrier frequency of the PWM switching process. The analog to digital converter 16 is coupled to a microprocessor 15 where, in step 17, the sampled data are stored (saved) for a predetermined period which is based on a minimum possible slip cycle. For example, if the motor 10 works in a range of 90 to 100% of its full load then a storing period of two seconds will be amply sufficient. The voltages and currents are filtered digitally by a low pass filter in step 18 with a cutoff frequency. The cutoff frequency is set at a value close to twice the supply (power or line) frequency, for example for a line frequency of 60 Hz, a cutoff frequency of 115 Hz is recommended. After the low pass filtering, the stored phase currents, ia, ib, and ic, (where ib is lagging 120 degrees from ia and ic is lagging 240 degrees from ia), are used to determine the apparent line currents, iab, ibc, and ica, which are defined and calculated as a series of digital values as follows:
Having collected all the line to line voltages (vab, vbc, and vca) and the calculated apparent line currents (iab, ibc, and ica) from the measured phase currents, the space vectors of these voltages and currents are calculated in step 19 as follows:
where, a=exp(j2π/3) is the space vector transformation operator. The next step is to consider the space vector signals in a polar form and subsequently obtain their phase angles, thus:
The next step 20 is to calculate the so-called pendulous oscillation signal in terms of the phase angles of the space vectors of voltage and current signals as follows:
The obtained series of values for the angle δ are measured based on either counterclockwise or clockwise direction (not both). One way to guarantee this rule is that any negative value for δ is replaced by (δ+2π). Transferring this signal digitally to a frequency domain and considering a Fourier series expression for δ as follows:
Finally, the peak to peak amplitude of the fundamental component of the swing angle is obtained in step 21 simply as follows:
This swing angle, Δδ, is depicted in a polar coordinate with respect to the absolute-real value of the space vector of the apparent line currents, |Real({right arrow over (i)}sL)|, for a test case study motor when operating under healthy rotor condition, and rotor conditions with one, three and five broken bars, as shown in The time domain profiles (waveforms) of the angles δ and δ1 are depicted via display 22 for the motor's healthy rotor operation and its one, three, and five rotor broken bar operations in If the Δδ1 is less than a predetermined healthy motor threshold, then the bars are healthy, otherwise there is a broken bar fault or rotor bar defect. Moreover, a larger value for Δδ1 (or Δδ) means larger number of broken bars or a more severe fault. This pendulous oscillation phenomenon can be observed by just measuring the Δδ=max(δ)−min(δ) 40, 46, 52, 57, 63, 69, 74, 81, however the signal Δδ1 47, 58, 70, 82 is free of measurement and system noises. This leads one to quantify even the quality (or degree of perfection) of rotor cage manufacturing. It is apparent from the foregoing that the present invention provides a method and apparatus to diagnose the presence of broken bars in squirrel-cages of poly-phase induction motors without having to monitor any internal motor performance variables. Only the motor terminal voltages and currents need to be monitored, and thus no invasive device or procedure is required. The motor voltages and currents are acquired and digitally processed in a space vector plain from which an information signal of a so-called pendulous oscillation (swing angle) is derived that allows one to quantify and diagnose rotor bar conditions. The aforementioned on-line process is summarized in the algorithm flow chart 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 of These figures show that as the number of broken bars increases the swing angle Δδ and its corresponding fundamental component Δδ1 (fault signature) will increase.

KAM snaps 400 piece set. Set includes: 200 caps, 100 studs, 100 sockets. Makes 100 complete snaps.
KAM is a high quality brand that is the gold standard for snaps in the cloth diaper industry.
Apply with KAM snap pliers, a simple and easy way to apply your snaps. KAM pliers and snaps may not be compatible with "Babyville" branded pliers and snaps.
Our color numbers are the same as KAM brand color numbers. If you already have snaps of a certain color number you can match them. We do not carry every single color number, such as the shades of taupe and grey, just the ones most useful to diaper makers.
How do I remove a snap? KAM snaps are really durable, which means they are tough to remove. If you can break off the circular bead of the squashed cap prong, the snap will come off. Ways to do this are: use a tiny eyeglass screwdriver to pry it off, or a soldering iron to melt it. Another method is to squeeze and crack the snap with pliers, but your fabric may get damaged.

Great quality and excellent price and fast service. I couldn't ask for more.
Posted by Peggy C. on 24th Jul 2014
Until now I have only used Babyville brand snaps. These Kam snaps are less expensive and every bit as strong . They can both be applied with the same tool.
Posted by Elizabeth Becker on 24th Jul 2014
I had been using Babyvile, I got them from the store but cost a lot more for less and find these and love them!
Posted by Marisela Tome on 16th Jul 2014
These snaps are awesome, I was using Babyville snaps at first when I was making my diapers, but bought these snaps and the pliers and I will never go back to using Babyville. The Babyville snaps started popping off my diapers, not thrilled.

Title: | Predicting postinterview impressions from preinterview information: An examination of behavioral mediators |
Author: | Kohn, Laura Stephanie |
Advisor: | Schneider, David J. |
Degree: | Master of Arts thesis |
Abstract: | Consistent with previous findings, interviewers' postinterview evaluations of applicants for correction officer positions were positively related to preinterview information on the applicants. The interviewer's conduct of the interview appeared to mediate this effect in a manner consistent with the behavioral confirmation predictions of a process model of the interview (Dipboye, 1982). Individual differences among interviewers were found in the extent to which they used preinterview information in reaching their decisions. Additionally, the instructions which interviewers were provided with appeared to play a role in the manner in which interviewers rendered their ratings about applicants on ten interview dimensions. |

"This paradise is not easy to find but once you come upon it you are awestruck! The cabin is absolutely gorgeous and Kay has not forgotten one single thing. The wrap-around deck looks out onto a peaceful lake just yards away through the pine trees. Spices, cooking oils, marshmallows for the fire pit, a bag of ice in the freezer, magazines, books, new set of pots and pans, horseshoe pit, sand pile including toys for kids, hammocks, tether ball, a pedal boat, a canoe, a fishing boat, pier, fishing poles, and a 2-car attached garage are some of the amenities! I could go on and on. We always rent log cabins in the Smoky Mountains and none have been this complete and up-to-date. The kitchen is outfitted with all new appliances. It even has a radiant convection cooktop range - which we had no idea how to work- but we do now. There is a full size washer and dryer as well. Finally...the cabin is gorgeous logs inside and beautifully decorated. Sparking clean. We are here as I write this, the last week of September and the leaves are spectacular! A black bear even walked across our driveway which made our week complete. I would recommend this very secluded paradise to anyone - unless you're looking for a mall. You won't find it here!"
"We arrived second weekend in October. Not only was the weather beautiful but our home for the next few day was beautiful too. Very clean, big kitchen/dinette, very nice sleeping quarters, great room w/ fire place,lower level fun area great views of the lake with a very nice fire pit and cut wood!!"
"Cabin is beautiful, very nicely decorated & felt like home from the minute we got there. Our kids (13 & 11) kept saying how comfortable it was & how much they liked it. The Nellis family is wonderful- very kind & accomodating and sure to leave a note in case we needed them (which we didn't since the cabin was so great!!) We 100% recommend it! We took a family vacation but would be great for a couples getaway too... especially the jetted tub upstairs! Would definitely go there again & will be sure to recommend to friends."

I had a problem with th OS X version of steam. Client updates failed when placing the program in a different folder than applications.
I am sick and tired of people with their stupid religions.
No thanks. I'd rather keep my freedom. I find the governments intrusion/power grab much more scary than terrorists.
(Sadly the people I vote for who are against it, are in a minority thanks to the fear mongers in politics and the news media)
Exactly. That was one of the major reasons I quit cable tv too and one thing that really makes me feel good about it. That I don't support all that shitty reality tv anymore. I don't think I will ever go back to cable tv again. If I did, I would be a requirement that I could choose not to support those channels.
That sadly includes the discovery channel after their 2007 decision to "focus on the people behind the technology instead of the technology" or however they worded it in their press release.
Or watch it on Netflix. Unless they chicken out too, american style. (zing)
well that was more sad than funny
IMHO the only thing that is different with mormons are time. When I look at different religions, they all seems crazy.
I know these people have been doing that at least since 2009.
I guess selling the largest energy provider and infrastructure in Denmark to Goldman Sachs is not going to help that goal.
It is nice anti-apple spin. This case is so much more than just Apple and you had to go and kill an even more important story, just for some apple bashing.
It seems to be official and made by government institutions here in DK.
I don't have a TV anymore so I haven't seen it as a public service announcement, but they might have aired it, I don't know.

Denmark's official 112 app is developed by The Danish National Police, Copenhagen Fire Brigade and The Danish Geodata Agency. It is financed by TrygFonden.
With Denmark's official 112 app you can call the emergency center and simultaneously send the GPS-coordinates of the cell phone. That way you can get help faster.
- The 112 app is operational only in Denmark
- The 112 app does not send any GPS-coordinates, if the GPS on the cell phone is deactivated
- The 112 app can only send GPS-coordinates in locations with data connection.
If your battery level is lower than 25 % the 112 app will make the call to the emergency center, but it will not send any GPS-coordinates. This is to make sure, that you can talk with the emergency center without running out of battery. The 112 app will also automatically stop sending GPS-coordinates, if your battery level gets below 25 % during your call.
You can read more about Denmark's official 112 app at www.112app.dk (Danish)

The lack of proper infrastructure can break a city.
If I wanted to read about this shit, I would not come here.
There was more information in the the text describing the video than the content of the video itself.
Also it seemed that the "suit" was the worst place to see the fireworks.
It's the sort of thing people share on Facebook and I believe it was made for that purpose as it contained no information or explanation, was short and didn't require sound to watch(safe for work).
Thankfully YouTube DOES contain lots of interesting information from people around the world. Of course of varying quality.
Personally I enjoy watching videos related to different type of electronics and pinball machines, found some useful repair videos. (one example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... ). Also Conan has his "serious jibber jabber" that I found interesting( https://www.youtube.com/playli... )
There are no such thing as privacy as long as you have a cell phone, use a credit card, drive a car with a license plate, anything related to a internet connection, your face visible in public places for cameras to track.
Hardly a surprise anymore.

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Cold Hard Truth: Well, its the day before Thanksgiving break here at the office and the day I get back I was scheduled to make a presentation on my 95% completed Magento ecommerce site and why it was a better alternative for the company than ASPDotNetStoreFront
The Problem(s): Tonight I noticed that the shopping cart/checkout page was blank but only on the default version of the site (mobile worked fine). So I assumed CSS was the issue. But when I disabled CSS, same problem. I haven't edited a single layout file today and am totally stumped. To make matters worse, I panicked and restored backup from the admin panel, now all of my pages and CMS blocks are missing. I have half a work day to fix this mess and I am beyond panicked. If someone could give me any kinda of indication as to what happened to my shopping cart, I will be forever grateful. (PS I have double checked my cart template files havent been altered in several weeks).
The Facts: Keep in mind only changes I have made recently are to the admin config settings and to the CSS. No template or layout changes in days.
Bonus Points: Bonus points for the person that can tell me how to recover my CMS blocks. But I suspect Ill be stuck fixing that one manually. :'(
The Site: http://www.tcvtv.com
PS: My guess, because of my major screw up, my company will be going with the ASPDotNetStoreFront. If Magento doesn't look reliable, kinda ruins my whole pitch.
Hi makens,
About your cart, you should first enable developer mode in .htaccess file:
SetEnv MAGE_IS_DEVELOPER_MODE "true"
If that doesn't give results, you should debug your template file manually. Currently no exception is thrown in core side I guess but the error is in the template file as your layout is still rendered.
So try to put some var_dump('test');exit; at the beginning of your template file to see first if it is called. If yes, you should find the error in the template file with adding the var_dump('test');exit; line per line. If not, the error may be in your layout file.
About your CMS page, if you have no backup of your work, I guess you will need to rewrite it manually.
Hope my answer will help you
Magento's learning curve involves a lot of tears. During development always backup code and database prior to making changes. It's better to have a stack of wasted, unused burned DVDs than a major failure on a tight schedule with a week old backup. OUCH!!!
First things, go into Magento's config and turn on ALL logging. Look in var/log for exception.log and system.log, also look in var/report for the latest numbered stack traces, once in a while, you'll get lucky and it will throw them without visual evidence.
Next step is to put it into Dev mode (index.php edits) and see if the advanced error reporting shows anything. The most dangerous time during development is when you've made quite a few changes that have shown on the front end and forgot about a layout change that suddenly gets exposed when you clear the cache. Always run in dev mode with NO CACHING WHATSOEVER so bad code causes immediate grief.
First step, DON'T PANIC as more damage gets done prodding it with a sharp stick in the hopes something will happen than does by stepping back for a couple hours and then starting diagnostic traces to find out what really happened (log messages, dev mode, etc.) I realize it's too late for that advice, but for others in future…
Full day tomorrow at work kicking a phone answering system running on OS/2 hoping I don't have the same results so over and out.
I took a quick check on your site and I see cause of the problem is not css. Maybe the block/template was broke. All html for cart is missing: <div class="col-main"> </div> (the "div" is empty). Do you recently install new module? Need more details for finding what exactly wrong in your website. (log, debug..)
First of all clear the cache. This is the first thing you do when something is f****d up in Magento. In 95% of the cases this DOES NOT fix the problem but do it anyway.
From the looks of the website I would put my money on 'The output of the Checkout module is disabled'. I bet on this because everything related to the cart is missing. Check in system->configuration->advanced. It's either this or the checkout.xml layout file is missing.
Cheers, Marius.
The checkout.xml file had been corrupted. I simply replaced it and voila!
Lets come in for a group hug everyone now my tears are happy ones!!!!
I've got about 6 hours to go and that's probably enough time to redo most of my content blocks.
I will repent in my bad developer ways! Keep Calm and Carry On! Thank you!!
Glad to hear you're pulling it all together. Make sure you've spec'd out a good hosting provider with plenty of resources when you go live and you'll do fine.
Full system backups include both your code and database, nightly DB backups and code backups prior to major changes allow serenity in running this beast.
Our developers, not understanding the sheer size of our business, had us on a 256MB VPS which got overwhelmed when we put in 9500 products. Three months in, we had all our category assignments just about done and the MySQL server coughed a hairball on category save due to inadequate resources. All categories and their product associations disappeared. Talk about anger and resentment…
The restore on the VPS failed because phpMyAdmin kept running out of memory. Due to not having SSH access, the only way to restore was denied…
Funny thing was by that time I was running a parallel dev server at work and could do everything we couldn't do on the VPS. That really increased the frustration level as the VPS was the canonical site development server.
2008 was not a good year in a lot of ways. Been there, done that, and got the cruddy Tee shirt.
