Lady Antebellum: Chickens Need You Now
Chrissie Hynde is telling Lady Antebellum "I'll stand by you" to support less cruel slaughter methods for KFC's chickens. The Grammy-winning country group is set to perform at the KFC annual meeting in San Diego, and Chrissie isn't pretending—she thinks it's a great opportunity to remind the chain that chickens don't have to be scalded to death in defeathering tanks.
In a letter to Lady Antebellum, Chrissie writes, "KFC has refused to heed its own advisory panel's recommendations to eliminate its most cruel and archaic slaughter practices, so my friends at PETA and I are hoping that you will use your unique position to appeal to the company. With your influential public platform, KFC might not so easily turn a deaf ear to you."
Lady Antebellum swept the Grammys—maybe they can initiate some sweeping changes for chickens too.

Won't happen – no one is going to lose money in this economy taking a stand. May be harsh, but it's the truth. And, there are many people – activists and the like on both sides, who have countered their stances for that buck. I can name many – can you.

I may be limited to GE, Kenmore, etc. when I replace the slide-in range at our condo on Maui. The current smoothtop has been ruined by guests and/or maids. Any suggestions for an 'element' top range? Things to look out for? I'm probably going to have to do all four appliances -- plan on 'bisque' color. Limited to GE for side X side w/water -- only their 20 cu ft will fit existing width. |

Not much but super basic available with coil top. They're designed for builder grade apartments with the smooth tops getting all the design upgrades love. Usually nothing but basic black or white available too. Bisque is really hard to find in just about everything. |
- Posted by gladys1924 (My Page) on Wed, Apr 2, 14 at 20:04
You've probably googled this? The first google hit for me was a Kenmore in bisque/coil top that looks like it has pretty decent features and good reviews...I didn't look beyond that, but there appears to be at least *one* decent unit! |
How was the glasstop ruined? |
Oh, I can find 'bisque' ranges, and all the other appliances too -- even on Maui! Maybe Consumer Reports can help me sort any flaws. snookums2 -- Most of the damage at our condo comes from the maids/cleaners. (Which is why it doesn't get reported...since they are to do the reporting! LOL) I've had smooth cooktops for decades, since Corning first came out with them. No troubles. I clean with Bon Ami. I have posted a notice at our condo to use ONLY Bon Ami on cooktop and Corian. It's ignored, and things get scratched. The range top looks as though someone spread tomato sauce over it and cooked it on, then tried to scour it off with steel wool! I am hoping nobody can ruin an elements-top range. (Stay tuned...) |
Chisue Don't give up on the smooth top,but get induction instead. Your analysis is probably correct- burned on remnants and scoured off. Do you rent the condo? The difference between induction and smooth top is induction heats the pan and not the cooktop so less sticky messes that stick to the surface. BTW- even though induction is heating the pan, the glass cooktop does get warm/hot just where the pan was sitting- so don't "test" it by placing your hand on the surface- glass gets hot! (FYI - I didn't do this but remember reading about someone who did this- ouch) I only use dish soap or ceramic cleaner on mine. I have never tried Bon ami on it- but isn't Bon ami a powder- not sure if that would scratch or not. |

Roland Barkau Memorial Golf Course offers golfers of all skill levels swing-testing challenges in the form of 18 championship-style holes. The par 71 course dons 6,513 yards of zoysia fairways, fescue roughs, bent-grass greens, and cart-powered course traversing. As different as day- and night-sun tanning, the first nine holes adventurously take golfers through tiger-free woods while the back nine contest clubs with links-style layouts. Each hole offers four tee options, ideal for varying skill levels or four-armed mutant-phenoms.
Sculpted into the rolling hills of western Illinois, Clinton Hill Golf Course?s undulating fairways flow into large, challenging greens across two distinct, nine-hole layouts. Mature arbors pepper the landscape, threatening the autonomy of airborne balls while providing scenic, shady plots in which golfers can pause to gawk at the layout?s lush greenery and herbivorous golf carts grazing on native grasses. A longer layout and a higher concentration of bunkers supply the bulk of the difficulty on the front nine, and water hazards await at seven holes on the course?s back nine, placing a high demand on confident swings and deft club selection. Those looking for new gear can peruse Clinton Hill?s pro shop, which peddles golfletic apparel and accessories from the game?s top brands. After a round of aggressive pin-hunting, players can retreat to Clinton Hill Bar and Grill, where guests can enjoy live sporting events on one of several TVs or revive sleepy golf bags with an icy beverage.
Stonebridge Golf Club challenges and entertains beginners and old pros alike with its picturesque rolling hills, changes in elevation, and tree-lined fairways. Before embarking on their 18-hole journey, players may practice on the expansive practice and chipping greens to perfect their wedgework, putts, and celebratory shimmies. Meticulously manicured bent-grass tees serve as launch pads for sky-bound balls, and verdant bermuda grass clings to the fairways. The par 72 course ensures golfers have a chance to employ every club in their arsenal, from the pitching wedge to the 3-wood to the rarely used Gatling driver. A golf cart helps players zoom from hole to hole with motorized grace and efficiency, rather than wasting precious minutes saddling, mounting, and cajoling surly bactrian golf camels. Although food and equipment are not covered by today's Groupon, Stonebridge is also home to a pro shop and Putter's Bar and Grill, making it easy for golfers and their bags to stay well-fed.
With the Gateway Arch towering in the background, Gateway National Golf Links tests players with 18 holes of rolling links and lush green pastures. Tall grasses, lakes, and soaring cottonwoods fill in the rest of the landscape, with stone bridges and raised boardwalks leading the way from one hole to the next. Several of the holes offer views of downtown St. Louis, including on hole three, where golfers can see the skyline and the new Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge in the distance. Before taking on the challenges of the course, visitors can get some practice swings in at Gateway National's various practice facilities, highlighted by a spacious putting green and a driving range.
Course at a Glance
Winner of the Places to Play-4 Star Award from Golf Digest, Belk Park Golf Course presents challenging play across 234 acres of well-manicured grounds. Water in play on five holes and a fair number of doglegs make the course difficult for players who don't pay close attention to club selection, shot trajectory, and perfectly timed spitballs. On the 5th and 14th holes, fairways veer sharply around water hazards and reward errant shots with an unfavorable lie on the lake bottom.

US 5234636 A Abstract Methods of coating stereolithographic parts and smoothing over characteristic surface discontinuities having alternating recesses and peaks. A stereolithographic part is first substantially covered with a substance capable of becoming less viscous when heated at a temperature which does not substantially thermally degrade the part, wherein the heated substance has an appropriate surface tension. Then, the substance is heated to that temperature until the substance flows preferentially into the recesses of the surface discontinuities and away from the peaked surface discontinuities. The substance will thereafter form a short surface connection over the recesses of the discontinuities through the surface tension of the heated substance. The substance is then polymerized or hardened either by cooling, thermally setting or by UV curing.
Claims(20) 1. In a stereolithographic method for forming a part from a material capable of selective physical transformation upon exposure to prescribed synergistic stimulation including forming successive cross-sectional patterns of the part on a selected surface of the material capable of selective physical transformation, relatively displacing the selected surface and said cross-sections as they are formed, and building up the part layer by layer in a step-wise fashion, wherein the part has surface discontinuities between at least some adjacent layers, the improvement comprising the following steps:
electrostatically coating at least a surface of the part with powder particles which melt at a temperature in the range of about 60-120 degrees Centigrade into a melted powder having an appropriate surface tension; heating the coated part at said temperature until the particles melt into a melted powder, which flows into surface discontinuities, and thereafter forms short surface connections across the surface discontinuities through the surface tension of the melted powder; and solidifying the melted powder to form a permanent coating which becomes a portion of the stereolithographically produced part. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the powder is a thermoset.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the powder is a thermoplastic.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the powder is an epoxy.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the powder is a polyester.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein the powder is a hybrid epoxy/polyester.
7. The method of claim 1 wherein the powder particles have a particle diameter of about at least about 50 microns.
8. The method of claim 1 wherein the powder is a UV curable powder, and the method further comprises the step of irradiating the coated part, at a time after said heating, with UV light until the melted powder cures.
9. The method of claim 1 wherein the powder is a thermoset which cross-links at a temperature below 120 degrees Centigrade, and wherein the step of solidifying the melted powder further comprises heating the coated part until the melted powder cures.
10. A method for coating a surface of a stereolithographic part having surface discontinuities between at least some adjacent layers, comprising the following steps:
applying a liquid, which is curable in response to synergistic stimulation and which is capable of becoming less viscous when heated to a temperature in the range of about 60-120 degrees Centigrade, to substantially coat a surface of the part, the less viscous liquid having an appropriate surface tension; heating the coated part at a temperature in said range until the liquid becomes less viscous, flows into at least a portion of the surface discontinuities, and thereafter forms short surface connections across said at least portion of the surface discontinuities through the surface tension of the liquid; and irradiating the coated part with said synergistic stimulation, at a time after said heating, until the liquid cures to form a permanent coating which becomes a portion of the stereolithographic part. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the liquid is applied by dipping the part into the liquid.
12. The method of claim 10 wherein the liquid is applied by spraying it onto the part.
13. The method of claim 10 wherein the liquid contains a volatile solvent.
14. The method of claim 10 wherein the liquid comprises about 10-50% by volume of a photocurable resin, about 45-85% by volume of a volatile solvent, about 1-5% by volume of a photoinitiator and up to about 0.1% by volume of a flow control agent.
15. An improved stereolithographic method for forming a part from a material capable of selective physical transformation upon exposure to prescribed synergistic stimulation including forming successive cross-sectional patterns of the part on a selected surface of the material capable of selective physical transformation, reactively displacing the selected surface and said cross sections as they are formed and building up the part in a step-wise fashion, wherein the part has surface discontinuities between at least some adjacent layers, the improvement comprising the steps of:
applying a substance to at least a portion of the said at least one surface of said part which is capable of becoming less viscous when heated to a temperature which does not substantially thermally degrade the part, wherein the less viscous substance has an appropriate surface tension; and heating the substance up to said temperature until the substance flows into at least some of the surface discontinuities and forms a short surface connection over the discontinuities through the surface tension of the less viscous substance; and solidifying the substance after it forms the short surface connections so that it permanently becomes a portion of the stereolithography part. 16. In a stereolithographic method for forming a part from a material capable of selective physical transformation upon exposure to prescribed synergistic stimulation including forming successive cross-sectional patterns of the part on a selected surface of the material capable of selective physical transformation, relatively displacing the selected surface and said cross-sections as they are formed and building up the part layer by layer in a step-wise fashion, wherein the part has surface discontinuities between at least some adjacent layers, the improvement comprising the steps of:
substantially coating at least a portion of the part surface with a substance which is capable of becoming less viscous when heated to a temperature which does not substantially thermally damage the part, the heated substance having an appropriate surface tension; heating the coated part to said temperature until said substance flows into the surface discontinuities and forms short surface connections across the discontinuities through the surface tension of the heated substance; and solidifying the substance after it forms the short surface connections so that it permanently becomes a portion of the stereolithographically produced part. 17. The method of claim 16 wherein the substance is a powder.
18. The method of claim 16 wherein the substance is a liquid.
19. The method of claim 16 wherein the substance is thermally curable at a cure temperature which does not thermally degrade the part, and wherein the step of solidifying the melted powder further comprises heating the coated part at said cure temperature until the substance cures.
20. The method of claim 16 wherein the substance is UV curable, and the method further comprises the step of irradiating the coated part with UV light until the substance cures.
Description This is a continuation of co-pending application Ser. No. 07/415,168, filed on Sep. 29, 1989, now abandoned. This invention relates generally to the field of stereolithography, and more specifically, to methods for coating the surface of a stereolithographic part. Stereolithography is a process for building up a reproduction of an object layer by layer such that the layers are sequentially formed on top of one another until the overall reproduction is complete. The stereolithographic reproduction is commonly referred to as a stereolithographic part, or more simply, part. The process is described in more detail in U.S. Pat. No. 4,575,330, entitled "APPARATUS FOR PRODUCTION OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECTS BY STEREOLITHOGRAPHY," by Charles W. Hull, which issued Mar. 11, 1986, and which is hereby fully incorporated by reference herein as though set forth in full. As described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,575,330, a stereolithographic apparatus ("SLA") is an apparatus for reproducing an object through the process of stereolithography. One embodiment of an SLA comprises synergistic stimulating means such as a UV laser beam or the like, photocurable liquid resin, and elevator means. The SLA forms each layer of a part by tracing the layer on the surface of the liquid resin with the UV laser beam at an exposure sufficient to cure the liquid resin to a predetermined thickness beyond the surface. The elevator means supports the part as it is being built up, with the first layer adhering to and being supported by cured resin in the shape of webs or the like, known as supports, which supports, in turn, directly adhere to the elevator means. Subsequently formed layers are then stacked on top of the first layer. As the part is being built up, the elevator means progressively lowers itself into the liquid resin. At each step of the way, after a layer has been formed, the elevator means lowers that layer (along with all the other formed layers) into the liquid resin so that fresh liquid resin that will be used to form the next layer flows over the previous layers. Typically, the elevator means is lowered into the liquid resin by more than the desired thickness of the next layer so that the liquid resin will flow over the previous layer rapidly. Then, the elevator means is raised to the desired depth (thickness of the next layer) below the surface so that when the next layer is cured, it will adhere to the previous layer. For further details on stereolithography, reference is made to U.S. Pat. No. 4,575,330 and the following pending U.S. and international patent applications which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety, including appendices attached thereto or material incorporated therein by reference, as if fully set forth: U.S patent application Ser. No. 339,246, filed Apr. 17, 1989, entitled "STEREOLITHOGRAPHIC CURL REDUCTION"; U.S. patent application Ser.

No. 365,444, filed Jun. 12, 1989, entitled "INTEGRATED STEREOLITHOGRAPHY"; and International patent application, filed Sep. 26, 1989, entitled "RECOATING OF STEREOLITHOGRAPHIC LAYERS," PCT filing No. U.S./89/04096. This layer by layer build up of the part results in the surface of the part having a stairstep appearance. This is illustrated in FIG. 1a, which is a diagram of a side view of the surface of such a part, with the stairstep aspect of the surface identified with reference numeral 1. FIG. 1b is a side view of a cross-section of an actual stereolithographic part, with the stairstep aspect identified with reference numeral 6. The stairstep appearance of a stereolithographic part, in turn, stems from each layer of the part having a finite thickness, where the height of each step of the stairstep is equal to the layer thickness. This stairstep surface, however, is a significant source of inaccuracy of the part, since this surface is introduced by stereolithography itself, and is not typically present in the object being reproduced. This is illustrated in FIG. 1a where the surface of the object being reproduced may be represented with dotted line 2. As is apparent, the surface of the part is quite different from the surface of the object. Although it may be theoretically possible to correct for the stairstep appearance by decreasing the layer thickness (and necessarily creating more layers) until it is infinitesimally small, with certain resin formulations, layer thicknesses smaller than about 5 mils are not possible. Even if smaller layer thicknesses than this were possible, part building would generally take much longer because of the multiplicity of layers which must be formed. Therefore, smaller layer thickness may not be a practical solution to the stairstep appearance. One approach which has been explored to eliminate this characteristic roughness of surface finish has been to build an oversized reproduction of an object which is then sanded down so that it accurately represents the object. This approach is described in more detail in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 331,644, referenced earlier. A problem with this approach, however, is that it may not be effective for accurately reproducing complex objects having difficult to reach surfaces, since these surfaces cannot be easily reached for sanding. An additional problem is that sanding may adversely affect the surface quality and the translucence of the surface. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide methods for coating the surface of a stereolithographic part which does not substantially damage the part, and which adequately smooths out characteristic stereolithographic surface discontinuities without substantially affecting part accuracy. To achieve the foregoing objects, and in accordance with the purpose of the invention as embodied and broadly described herein, there is provided a method for coating a stereolithographic part having characteristic surface discontinuities made up of alternating recesses and peaks comprising the steps of substantially covering the part surface with a substance capable of becoming less viscous upon heating to a temperature which does not substantially thermally damage the part, the heated substance having an appropriate surface tension; heating the substance at the temperature until the substance becomes less viscous and preferentially flows into the recesses of the surface discontinuities and away from the peaks, thereafter forming a short surface connection across the recesses of the discontinuities through the surface tension of the heated substance; and solidifying the substance. FIGS 1a and 1b illustrate the characteristic stairstep surface discontinuities of a typical stereolithographic part; FIG. 1c illustrates the initial distribution of powder particles on the surface of FIG. 1a in a powder coating embodiment of the subject invention; FIG. 1d illustrates the distribution of charge on a stereolithographic part surface which results in the powder distribution of FIG. 1c; FIG. 2a illustrates the action of coating surface discontinuities without significant surface tension influence; FIG. 2b illustrates the impact of surface tension in smoothing surface stairstep discontinuities; FIG. 2c illustrates the impact of surface tension on a single one of the stairsteps of FIG. 2b. FIG. 3 is a diagram of an apparatus for electrostatic powder coating of stereolithographic parts; FIG. 4a illustrates powder coating of a stereolithographic part with the part surface at a slant with respect to the horizontal. FIG. 4b illustrates powder coating of a stereolithographic part with the part surface oriented substantially vertically. FIG. 4c illustrates powder coating of a stereolithographic part with the part surface oriented substantially horizontally. FIG. 5 illustrates a part having an enclosed interior surface. In a first embodiment of the subject invention, coating is achieved through electrostatic powder coating. According to this embodiment, plastic powder particles are charged and sprayed onto the part, which is charged to the opposite polarity of the particles, or grounded. The particles are thereby attracted to the surface of the part. The part (and particles) are then typically thermally heated, whereupon the particles melt. Continued application of heat raises the temperature, causing the melted particles to form a liquid that can flow under the force of surface tension (if the force is high enough and viscosity low enough). Additional increases in temperature can cause certain coating materials to harden, and cure. Electrostatic powder coating, however, is beset with several problems when applied to stereolithographic parts, and a key aspect of the subject invention is the recognition of, and the overcoming of, these problems. First, there may be broad separation between the temperature at which certain powder particles melt, and the temperature at which they cure. For these powders, the cure temperature may be so high that the stereolithographic part which is to be coated may thermally degrade at this temperature. As a result, with these powders, it is difficult to fully cure the melted powder without damaging the part. Second, with certain powders, it may be difficult to make the part conductive enough to attract a sufficient volume of powder particles to the part. Attempts to make stereolithographic parts conductive, by mixing metal particles into the resin used to make the part, have not always been successful because the resin tends to encapsulate such particles, thereby limiting their conductive impact. Third, as discussed earlier, it may not be possible to reduce the layer thickness, and hence the stairstep discontinuity, by more than about 5 mils. It may be difficult to smooth over these discontinuities through electrostatic powder coating, particularly since, as illustrated in FIG. 1c, the powder particles will tend to distribute themselves initially nonuniformly over the part away from the very surface discontinuities they are intended to smooth out. Means must be provided for distributing the powder particles over the discontinuities. As illustrated in FIG. 1c, the initial distribution of powder particles is identified with reference numerical 3. As indicated, the particles will tend to accumulate around the points of the stairstep and away from the valleys. This is because the accumulation of charge is proportional to the surface charge density, which is greatest at the points. The surface charge density in the valleys is low, unlike at the points, therefore, the charge will accumulate to a much lesser degree since charges from adjacent stairsteps will repel each other in these areas, thereby reducing the accumulation of charge. In FIG. 1d, the surface charge density (negative for purposes of illustration only) at the peaks of adjacent stairsteps is identified with reference numerals 30a and 30b, respectively. The charges that accumulate in the valley from adjacent stairsteps are identified with reference numerals 31a and 31b, respectively. As illustrated, these charges will repel each other. In sum, the charges will accumulate away from the valley discontinuities they are intended to smooth over. Additional coats are not always a solution to the above-mentioned problem since additional coats may destroy the accuracy of the overall surface. In addition, with certain powders, additional coats may not even be possible. These and other problems are solved by the method of the subject invention. An apparatus for performing electrostatic powder coating on stereolithographic parts is illustrated in FIG. 3. As illustrated, the apparatus comprises a closed chamber 8 in which is placed a part 9. As illustrated, the part is tied to ground (identified by reference number 15 in the Figure). Alternatively, the part could be charged to an opposite polarity of the charged particles (see below). The apparatus also comprises electrostatic gun 11, and electrostatic generator 12. The electrostatic gun sprays a stream of particles past the electrostatic generator, whereupon the particles become charged. The charged particles then circulate around the interior of the chamber as indicated by reference number 13 in the Figure to create an environment saturated with charged particles. The part is advantageously slowly rotated by rotation means 10 at about 10 RPM to help expose it to the charged particles. Also shown is filter 14 which allows air to escape while keeping the charged particles within the closed chamber. The part should be made as conductive as possible, which can be accomplished by immersing it in a low humidity, conductive solution such as E.C.C. #519, and then letting it dry. Coating the part with such a solution will cause it to absorb moisture from the atmosphere until the part has achieved an adequate level of conductivity. The powders which can be used are from the families of powders used to coat metal surfaces. These powders typically have a particle diameter in the range of about 30-35 microns. For coating stereolithographic parts, however, the particle size may advantageously be increased to about 50-60 microns. This allows higher accumulation of mass. Low-temperature polyester, epoxy, or hybrid polyester/epoxy powders are possible, including: 1) thermoplastics; and 2) thermosets. Thermoplastics, when heated, will melt, and will then harden when cooled at a sufficient temperature. Once hardened, they will remelt if heated again. Thermosets are powders which melt when heated, but if additional heat is applied, they will cross-link and harden. Thereafter, further heating will not melt thermosets. Several examples of possible powders include PROTECT White or Black, FERRO Clear, INTERNATIONAL White or Black, H.B. FULLER Black, or TIGER 89. Other examples are possible, and the above is not meant to be limiting. Examples of electrostatic guns include a corona gun manufactured by VOLTSTATIC or BINKS. Alternatively, a tribo gun manufactured by RUNSBURG-GAMA is also possible. For the corona gun, a small part is typically exposed to the charged particles for about 11/2 minutes, while a larger part is typically exposed for about 10 minutes. In either case, the part is advantageously rotated while it is so exposed since the corona gun sprays the particles in random directions and does not provide a directed spray. As a result, rotating the part helps ensure that it picks up a sufficient quantity of charged particles to coat it adequately. For the tribo gun, the part has less need to be rotated since the gun provides a directed spray, which can be aimed directly at regions of the part that are to be coated. For a small part, typically 10-15 seconds exposure is sufficient, while even more exposure is typically provided for larger parts. It has been found that the directed spray from the tribo gun is advantageous for coating a stereolithographic part. This is because the directed spray from such a gun helps ensure that a sufficient volume of particles will coat the part from the combination of attraction and bombardment. The corona gun has a voltage setting, which is typically set to about 12-15 kv. The use of powders having a larger particle diameter than is typically used to coat metal part surfaces is also advantageous. As discussed above, powder particles for metal surfaces typically range in diameter between 30-35 microns, while diameters in the range of 50-60 microns may be better for stereolithographic part surfaces. The larger diameter particles also helps ensure that a sufficient volume of powder is delivered to the part surface to adequately coat it. After the powder has been delivered to the surface, it should be melted into a liquid for flowing into and smoothing over the surface discontinuities. A significant aspect of the subject invention is the recognition that the surface tension in the melted powder will cause the liquid to smooth over stereolithographic surface discontinuities, instead of just forming a uniform layer over the surface, even though the particles are initially distributed away from the valley discontinuities. The surface tension in the liquid will cause liquid placed adjacent to or in a surface discontinuity to form a short surface connection across the discontinuity. Based on the teachings herein, one of ordinary skill would be able to select a powder that has the desired surface tension properties to be used effectively with a particular stereolithographic resin. The cohesive forces of the coating, as reflected in its surface tension, should be strong enough to smooth out the discontinuities. These cohesive forces must also be matched with the adhesive forces between the post-cured stereolithography resin and the coating material so that the two materials will stay in contact with each other and so that the surface tension will smooth out the discontinuities. The result is a non-uniform coating over the surface which smooths over the discontinuities. Turning to FIGS. 2a-2c, in which compared to previous figures, like elements are identified which like reference numerals, the impact of surface tension is illustrated. FIG. 2a illustrates the coating that would result in the absence of surface tension. Part surface 1 is shown with a initial distribution of power particles identified which reference numeral 3. After melting, the distribution of the melted powder, in the absence of surface tension, is identified with reference numeral 4. As shown, the liquid is shown distributed over the part surface in a relatively uniform layer. FIG. 2b illustrates the impact of surface tension. The surface tension of the liquid will lead to the distribution identified with reference numeral 5. As shown, the distribution adequately smooths the stairstep surface discontinuities precisely because the surface tension causes the liquid to distribute itself non-uniformly over the part surface. The action of the surface tension is illustrated in FIG. 2c, which focuses on just one of the stairsteps of FIG. 2b. As indicated earlier, surface tension will cause the liquid adjacent to or in a discontinuity to distribute itself over the discontinuity with a short surface connection, thereby reducing surface area. In FIG. 2c, for example, surface tension will cause the liquid to distribute itself between points 1a and 1b of the discontinuity to achieve the surface connection identified which reference numerical 5a rather than that of 4a. To melt the powder, the powder must typically be heated to about 80-85 degrees C. Since most stereolithographic parts will not thermally degrade until heated to at least about 120 degrees C., and possibly 140 degrees C., the melting of the powder should not thermally degrade the part at all. After the powder is melted, it will then flow into and bridge the surface discontinuities in the manner described earlier. Additional heating of a melted thermoset powder may be necessary to first gel and then completely cure the melted powder. This is because these powders are plastic powders containing monomers, and complete curing of the powder will typically require cross-linking of the monomers, by which the physical and chemical properties of the powders change. Complete cross-linking (and complete curing) typically requires heating the liquid to about 160�-220 degrees C. on average, and possibly to as low as 145 degrees C. Since certain stereolithographic plastics will thermally degrade at about 120 degrees C., and possibly as high as about 140 degrees C., completely cross-linking the coating may thermally degrade the part. However, partial cross-linking will take place at temperatures below this. Therefore, it may be possible to sufficiently cross-link certain thermoset powders without thermally degrading the part. In fact, it has been found that with these powders, that heating the part, after it has been coated, for more than about 20 minutes, and preferably for about 25 minutes, in a conventional convection oven, at a temperature less than about 110 degrees C., and preferably about 105 to 110 degrees C., will be sufficient to adequately allow the powder to flow over surface discontinuities, and then harden. Alternatively, thermoplastics will harden without any additional heating or cross-linking. It will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill, from the teachings herein, that other stereolithographic resin formulations are possible that can withstand higher temperatures, and that will not thermally degrade at the temperatures described above required to completely cross-link the thermoset powders. One of ordinary skill would also appreciate that other thermal powder formulations are possible that will completely cross-link at lower temperatures than described above, or that will cross-link when subjected to UV radiation. In fact, UV curable powder formulations are possible simply by adding photo-initiator to traditional powder formulations, which will provide a mechanism for the melted powder to polymerize when subjected to UV radiation as opposed to just heat. In addition, thermal initiators could be added to a thermoset powder to lower the temperature at which the powder will completely cross-link. It has been found that the temperature at which certain plastics will polymerize can be lowered to about 60-70 degrees C. through the addition of a thermal initiator. Care should be taken, however, to ensure that the cross-linking temperature is not lowered too much, so that the plastic begins curing close to the temperature it melts. If these temperatures are too close, the melted powder may begin cross-linking before it is able to flow into and smooth over the surface discontinuities. In fact, thermoplastics, because they do not cross-link at all, will never have this problem, thus, they may be superior in certain applications compared to thermosets. The above embodiment of the subject invention may also be important since it is substantially independent of the orientation of the part which is being coated. This is because the mechanism by which coating occurs is dominated by surface tension of the liquid, and not gravity. Therefore, the surface tension will act to provide a smooth coating independent of the direction of the force of gravity. For coatings of materials, or thicknesses of coatings, whose surface tension is not great enough to ignore gravity, different regions of the object can be coated, melted, and set separately. FIGS. 4a-4c illustrate powder coating a part at different orientations. In each of these figures, a cross-section of the part is identified with reference numeral 20, while the powder coating is identified with reference numeral 21. FIG. 4a shows the part surface at a slant with respect to the horizontal, FIG. 4b shows the part surface oriented substantially vertically, and FIG. 4c shows the part surface oriented substantially horizontally. In each instance, the powder coating adequately smooths over the surface discontinuities. It may be difficult to deliver an adequate volume of particles to hard-to-reach surfaces of complex parts, such as an internal surface of an enclosed cavity, for example. In this instance, selective charging or grounding of the part surface could be beneficial in achieving a better distribution of particles. For example, turning to FIG. 5, which illustrates a part having an enclosed cavity, exterior surface 30 alone could be grounded or charged initially, and then sprayed with particles. Then, interior surface 31 alone could be grounded or charged, and then sprayed with particles. As a result, a better distribution of particles over the surface would result compared to when both surfaces are grounded or charged, and then sprayed simultaneously.

Another embodiment of the subject invention will now be described, where a radiation curable liquid or paint is used to coat the part surface instead of a powder. According to this embodiment, a part is dipped into or sprayed with a radiation curable liquid, which thereafter bridges over the surface discontinuities through the action of surface tension in a manner similar to that described earlier with respect to powders. The radiation curable liquid in a preferred embodiment is UV curable. In this preferred embodiment, the liquid is cured by shining UV light onto it at a sufficient intensity to cure the liquid. In addition, thermally curable liquids are possible. Compared to the powder embodiment, the advantages of this embodiment are that the liquid can be initially applied to the part surface through dipping or spraying, without requiring any electrostatic charging. In this way, it is easier to obtain adequate coatings. There may be less difficulty in matching required cohesive and adhesive characteristics. Also, the use of UV curing allows the coating and curing of parts or regions of parts in multiple steps. Another advantage, compared to powders which may require thermal curing, is that the liquid is UV curable, and hence, can be cured without any chance of thermally degrading the part. A third advantage is that the formulations of suitable liquids may be very similar to the resin used to build the part in the first instance. Therefore, suitable UV curable liquids may be easier to formulate than suitable powders. In fact, a suitable liquid is possible to formulate simply by adding a solvent (that will evaporate) to a high molecular weight UV curable resin. The liquid is then applied to a part through spraying or dipping, and then heated to speed up evaporation of solvent along with the flow of the liquid. The action of the surface tension will then cause the liquid to bridge over surface discontinuities in a manner similar to that described above. Meanwhile, the solvent will have completely evaporated out of the liquid. Then, the part could be subjected to UV radiation which would fully cure the coating liquid. In addition, since the liquids will not cross-link when heated, they will not have the problem described earlier of certain thermoset powders, which may cross-link close to the temperature at which they melt. Additional advantages of this embodiment are that such a liquid may be more effective in coating hard-to-reach surfaces of complex parts then a powder. In addition, a liquid coating can provide an effective way to make a stereolithographic part conductive. Silver platelets may be put into the UV curable liquid to make the liquid conductive. When the liquid is used to coat the part, the part can be made conductive. It has been found that silver platelets do not suffer from the encapsulation problem mentioned earlier with respect to other metal particles. By making the part conductive, the part can then be electrostatically powder coated or coated with electrophoresis if additional coats are desired. Electrophoresis is the process whereby the part is immersed into a liquid bath containing charged particles that are attracted to the part by oppositely charging the part or grounding it. The particles are then made to flow by similar methods to those already described. In addition, through selective coating of areas with a conductive coating, stereolithography can now be used to make three dimensional prototypes of circuit boards. As an example of the above embodiment, a UV curable liquid was prepared as follows: 50 g UVITHANE UV 783 (flexible acrylated urethane) 25 g toluene (solvent) 35 g ethanol (solvent) 10 g methylene chloride (solvent) 2 g IRGGACURE 184 (photoinitiator) 0.3 g FC 431 (flow control agent) A thin layer of the above liquid was sprayed onto a test part having a 10 mil layer thickness. (Alternatively, the liquid could have been applied through air brushing or dipping.) The part was then placed in an oven for about 5 minutes at about 100� C. Since the coating at this point appeared noncontinuous, a second application of the liquid was sprayed onto the part, and the part again heated in the oven for about 5 minutes at about 100� C. At this point, the part appeared to have a very smooth surface finish. The part was then placed onto a post-curing apparatus (PCA) for UV curing, and cured for about 10 minutes to harden the coating. (Post-curing is described in more detail in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 268,429, referenced earlier.) The test part was then cross-sectioned, and the coating thickness was measured as being between about 0.006 and 0.007 inch. The above example illustrates the possibility of multiple applications of the liquid before UV curing in order to achieve a more continuous coating than obtained with just one application. Alternatively, coating followed by UV curing followed by coating, etc., could also have been used. Multiple applications may be necessary in those instances where a very viscous substance such as UVITHANE 783 is used in the coating. UVITHANE 783 is immobile at room temperature. If other, less viscous substances are used in the liquid, or if coating is performed at elevated temperatures above room temperature, multiple applications may not be necessary. An additional advantage illustrated by the above example is that before UV curing, if the finish is not acceptable, the coating can be stripped off with solvent, and another coat applied until an acceptable finish has been achieved. At this point, the part could be UV cured. In general, a suitable liquid has four generic components: a photocurable resin component, a volatile solvent component, a photoinitiator component, and a flow control agent. Typically, the resin component will comprise about 10-50% of the overall liquid, the solvent 45-85%, the photoinitiator, typically 1-5%, and the flow control agent, typically about 0.1% or less. The percentage of the solvent in an actual application will depend on the resin viscosity, the method of applying the liquid (spraying or dipping), and the amount of time the liquid will be heated. The solvent should be volatile so it will begin evaporating right after spraying or dipping. After the liquid is applied to the part in an initial application step, the part could be allowed to sit before heating to give the solvent a chance to evaporate. Alternatively, the part could be first heated gently to give the solvent a chance to evaporate. Compared to allowing the solvent to evaporate simultaneously with heating the liquid, the above approach has the advantage of providing better control of the liquid flow. If the liquid is heated too soon, before the solvent has evaporated, the liquid may run off the part. By allowing the solvent to evaporate first, the composition of the liquid at the surface will be fixed during heating, resulting in better control. A suitable solvent can be determined for a given application based on the known art for formulating solvent for paints. For example, as with paints, to achieve a better surface finish, it may be advantageous to add a first minor solvent which evaporates slowly, and a second major solvent which evaporates rapidly. Before the solvent has evaporated, the liquid may run off certain areas of the part due to gravity. If this occurs, the part could be coated in steps, and reoriented at each step so that gravity will not cause the liquid to run off the area being coated. The temperature at which the liquid should be heated depends on the viscosity of the resin. The viscosity of the resin, in turn, should be thick so that a sufficiently thick coating can be applied to a part without it running off the surface, or so that multiple coats can be applied. The temperature should be well above room temperature to provide control over the liquid flow. If the temperature is too low, no control is provided. Typically, the temperature will be at about 60 degrees C. or more. The temperature should not exceed about 120 degrees C. with certain resins because of the possible thermal degradation effects. Therefore, the most useful temperature range will be about 60-120 degrees C. The flow control agent acts to reduce the surface tension of the liquid so it will give better surface wetting, and more even coating. The time at which the liquid is heated will depend on the temperature, and the resin viscosity. Typically, 1-30 minutes will be sufficient. UV curing will typically occur within about 2-10 minutes. Other liquids are possible. For example, a thixotrophic liquid or paint, whose viscosity will lower when subjected to sheering stress, is possible. The liquid could be sprayed on the part, and the sheering stress of the spraying may lower the viscosity sufficiently to allow it to be sprayed and coat the part without running off the part. Then, the liquid could be heated to help it flow, and thereafter cooled to solidification, thermally or UV cured, as described above. If a thermoplastic is used, the part would be at an elevated temperature during coating as well as flowing, then the part would be cooled to room temperature to yield a smoothly coated part. The subject invention provides coating methods which can easily be integrated into an SLA to provide a device which, automatically, under control of a control computer, first builds a stereolithographic part and then applies a coating to the part, resulting in a finished prototype with a smooth surface without requiring manual intervention. Co-pending "INTEGRATED STEREOLITHOGRAPHY," referenced earlier, describes integrating other stereolithographic functions, such as part cleaning and post-curing, into the SLA, by adding other chambers to the SLA vat in which these functions are to be performed, or by providing means such as a hinged shutter to isolate different areas of a single chamber vat where these functions are to be performed. One of ordinary skill in the art would appreciate that a part coating step, employing concepts of the subject invention, could also be integrated into the SLA by adding another chamber to the vat where coating would be performed, and by adding means to move the part amongst the various chambers. Alternatively, a single chamber vat could be provided with means such as a shutter for isolating an area in a single vat where part coating could be performed. The subject invention is also important in the field of investment casting a/k/a the "lost wax" process. According to this process, common in the manufacture of jewelry, for example, a master prototype is made out of wax, which is then used to make a production mold for the manufacture of replicas. To form the mold, the wax prototype is placed into a mold forming substance such as liquid epoxy, plaster, or the like, which then hardens around the wax to form a block with drainage holes that run from the prototype to the exterior of the block. The block is then placed into an oven and heated, whereupon the wax melts, and is drained out of the hardened mold forming substance through the drainage holes to leave a mold for production. The mold forming substance is chosen so that it is resistant to high temperature. This is so that when the substance is heated, it will not thermally degrade. In fact, many molds cure when heated to such temperatures. As an alternative to forming a wax prototype, a stereolithographically-formed prototype can also be used to make a production mold in the manner described above: placing the prototype in a mold forming substance which hardens around it with drainage holes to the outside, and then heating the substance until the prototype burns away, or is incinerated, and falls out through the drainage holes. A problem with this approach, however, is that heating the stereolithographic prototype may cause it to swell slightly, which in turn, may cause the block to break. To counteract this problem, the prototype could be built undersized, and then coated according to a method of the subject invention with a powder or liquid having a lower melting temperature than the plastic used to form the prototype. The coating should also be at least as thick as the swelling of the prototype. Then, the coated prototype would be placed in the liquid mold forming substance which would harden around the prototype in the manner described above. After the substance has hardened around the prototype, the block would be heated in stages. In the first stage, the block would be heated at a low enough temperature so that the prototype would not swell, but high enough so that the coating would melt and drain off through the drainage holes leaving a space. In the second stage, the block would be heated at a high enough temperature to burn off the prototype. Any swelling of the prototype would expand into the space left by the coating and not break the block. As another example, the prototype could be coated with wax instead of a plastic coating to leave a space for swelling of the prototype, and the wax melted off in the first stage. As before, the prototype could be burned off in the second stage. Wax would be applied and flowed, and then hardened in a manner similar to thermoplastics. As is apparent from the aforementioned description, the subject invention provides methods for coating stereolithographic parts having surface discontinuities which do not substantially damage the part, and which smooth over the discontinuities without substantially affecting part accuracy. To obtain a desired level of high accuracy in combination with the use of a coating to fill in discontinuities, one would offset the walls of the part before building the part to compensate for a known coating thickness that will be applied later. Use of similar techniques to compensate for laser beam width are described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 311,664, reference earlier. Additional benefits are that the methods are inexpensive and efficient, since excess powder particles or UV curable liquids can be collected and reused, if they are sprayed towards but ultimately not used to coat the part in a particular application. In addition, powders are available which are non-toxic, and therefore have little or no environmental conflict. An additional benefit, particularly for stereolithographic parts, is that the only equipment needed for powder coating is a self-contained booth for spraying the powder towards the part, without requiring any exhaust to the outside. As a result, this equipment may be easily intergradable into an SLA. Methods of coating with liquids are also beneficial is that the liquids can be applied to the part through spraying or dipping, and electrostatic charging is not required. In addition, UV curable liquids are available simply by adding solvents and photoinitiator to existing resins used to build parts. UV curable powders are available by adding photoinitiators to existing thermoset type powders. In addition, thermosets which cure at lower temperatures are possible by adding thermal initiator to existing thermosets. To one skilled in the art, these techniques are applicable to any layer-by-layer approach for building three-dimensional pats other than by stereolithography. Additional advantages and modifications will readily occur to those skilled in the art. The invention in its broader aspects is not, therefore, limited to the specific details, representative methods, and illustrative examples shown and described. Accordingly, departure may be made from such details without departing from the spirit or scope of applicant's general inventive concept. Patent Citations

After being rightly destroyed by the arsenal of anti-acne products you threw at it, the breakout that was singlehandedly sabotaging your visage is finally gone. And, your skin is looking better than ever, right?
Not necessarily. In place of the blemish is probably an unfriendly reminder of its past existence: an unsightly red or brown mark. Compared to covering a swollen, red pimple at its peak, concealing a flat-against-the-skin red mark is far simpler and way more convincing — if you practice the right method. See which of following three works for you.

Tshwane deputy police chief in court
Comment on this storyThe Pretoria Magistrate's Court on Monday examined numerous questions submitted by embattled Tshwane metro police deputy chief Ndumiso Jaca's defence team.
The questions are part of Jaca's request to be furnished with further particulars of the charges against him.
Earlier on Monday there was heated debate in court over the submission of the "further particulars", as Jaca's lawyer accused the prosecutor of defying a court order issued previously.
Magistrate Graham Travers denied issuing the order compelling the prosecutor to give the particulars.
After an adjournment Travers said he had listened to the recorded court proceedings and it confirmed he had never compelled the prosecutor to make the disclosures.
Travers said he would want to go through all the questions submitted by Jaca's lawyer in a bid to establish whether they could be classified as "further particulars" according to the law.
The examination of the questions would resume after a lunch break. Jaca had closely followed the court proceedings, writing notes.
Jaca was charged in March following an EyeWitness News report that he was driving a BMW Z4 with false number plates and police lights. He was also spotted on a Harley Davidson motorbike with the same false registration number plate. – Sapa

Time for a look at the top Tuesday morning headlines from around the NFC South.
- D. Orlando Ledbetter has an overview of Atlanta's situation at linebacker. While it's undecided if veteran Lofa Tatupu or second-year pro Akeem Dent will start in the middle, Ledbetter's right when he says the linebackers have to be much better in pass coverage. When you're matched up against New Orleans tight end Jimmy Graham and running back Darren Sproles twice a season, you can't rely exclusively on the secondary.
- The Times-Picayune continues its series of the top 25 Saints with Jermon Bushrod at No. 9. This guy is a pretty amazing story. He came out of nowhere, but made it to the Pro Bowl last season. The Saints will face a big decision when Bushrod becomes a free agent after this season. But he's become a quality left tackle and it will be very difficult to let him walk away.
- Carolina quarterback Cam Newton will face three of the NFL's top five active sack leaders this season, including Atlanta's John Abraham (twice) and Chicago's Julius Peppers, a former Panther.
- New Orleans linebacker Jonathan Vilma filed a motion to expedite his temporary restraining order in an attempt to be allowed to take part in training camp. In the accompanying affidavit, Vilma says he has undergone the same blood treatment from a German doctor as New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez to speed up the healing process in his knee.
- Mark Cook writes that the Bucs were lucky when criminal charges were dropped against starting cornerbacks Aqib Talib and Eric Wright. No doubt, because that allows the Bucs to move veteran cornerback Ronde Barber to safety. But Talib and Wright will have to be on their best behavior going forward. Coach Greg Schiano isn't going to put up with any off-field trouble from these two.

Underneath each unique human exterior rests the human skeleton, a feature of our anatomy that has been depicted, drawn and dreamed about for many thousands of years. These skeletal-styled products go to show that the fascination with own bones has been represented in many mind-blowing ways.
Although people incorporate many different kinds of animals' bones into art, structures and food, it's undeniable that for centuries, the human skeleton has existed as a world-renowned structure that designers, artists and creative thinkers have been fond of using because of its distinct contours and symmetrical appearance. Ranging from finger-fitted skeletal braces to glass skull ice buckets, the shape of the human skeleton has acted like a muse for many and has been adapted by to serve almost any purpose you can think of.

We had not tour group, but we were frequently lucky enough in Ghana to come up with a local "friend" who was typically willing and able to spend all day and night with us. That's the hospitality of Ghana, and West Africa in general. Nothing was demanded, while at the end a sort of good Christian pleading might come up if one is too slow to recognize the value of the host's work. But, your guides were never a financial burden at all, and they took us to places we wouldn't have found on our own. In Kumasi, the easiest mode of transport was by taxi. Our friend had no alliances with anyone, really, and waved down any cab. He bargained for us, and we never paid hardly any money to get around this relatively spread out city.

STC-bus to Kumasi
The most comfortable way to get to Kumasi is by STC-bus. STC is the most reliable transport-company in the country and has a lot of comfortable, air-conditioned busses. These busses connect all the major cities in the country. From Kumasi, busses go to almost all cities in the country, like Accra, Tamale, Takoradi, Cape Coast, Tema, Bolgatanga, and also to some destinations outside of Ghana like Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso and Abidjan in Ivory Coast.
The busses are more expensive than the Tro-Tro connections, but still very cheap for Western standards. From Kumasi to Cape Coast costs 75.000 cedis ($ 7,50), to Accra is the same price and to Tamale the price is 110.000 cedis.
Tickets should be bought in advance, up to a week before the trip. If you try to buy them on the day of travelling, or even a day before, you have big chance of being too late. ticket can only be bought at the STC-station in central Kumasi at Prempeh Road.- Road Trip

Taxi's in Kumasi
Although the centre of Kumasi is quite small and can easily be done on foot, it can be nice to take a taxi, especially when you have a lot of heavy luggage with you. When you arrive at the STC-station or Tro-Tro station, lots of taxi-drivers with attack you immediately to offer you a ride. Before you get in: be wise, and discuss the price first.
A taxi-ride within the city centre should never cost you more than 20.000 $ 2,-. Shorter rides shouldn't even be more than 10.000. But the driver will try to take more money from you, especially when you're an "Obruni", a White Man. Therefore it is wise to try to follow how you are driving when you have a map: make sure the driver doesn't drive too far to get more money from you.
When a taxi had to take me to an hotel, and he didn't know the directions, he drove me around for 45 minutes without having aclue where he had to take me. When he finally ended up where we had to be, he asked me to pay 80.000 cedis! Of course, I didn't give him more than 20.000.- Backpacking
- Road Trip
Tro-Tro to Kumasi
The cheapest way to get to Kumasi by public transportation definitely is by going by Tro-Tro. This is a small mini-bus that connect almost all bigger and smaller towns and cities around Kumasi with the city. A Tro-Tro is a mini-bus that is packed full of people untill there really is no place left. In a small bus, at least 18 people are packed in. And it only departs when it is completely full.
But, the biggest advantage of a Tro-Tro is that it is very. very cheap. for one hour you pay about 10.000, or $ 1,-. For example, a 3 hours trip from Kintampo to Kumasi costs 32.000 cedis.
In Kumasi there are several Tro-Tro (or Lorry-) stations, with all their own destinations. To know where you have to be to get somewhere, it is the easiest to just get into a taxi and ask the driver to drop you off at the right station.
The nicest thing about a Tro-Tro ride is what you see on the way, both inside and outside the mini-bus. On the pictures: A man sleep all the while and banging his head against everything around him. And the other picture: A goat packed under the seat in the Tro-Tro, with its head between the legs...- Backpacking

Big buses
Travel by road between Accra and Kumasi takes approx 4-5 hours. Main coach companies, like V.I.P., with large vehicles are normally quicker and a lot more comfortable than the Tro-Tro's or the ordinary bus services.

LINCOLN — It was a special Thursday for the Giltner girls basketball program.
The No. 2-seeded Hornets (24-2) utilized an opportunistic defense and controlled the paint to earn their first win the state tournament in school history in beating No. 7 Crawford (16-8) 58-39 at Lincoln North Star.
The first win, though, wasn't exactly starling.
Giltner turned the ball over 26 times and missed half of its free throw chances, going 16-for-32 from the line. Head coach Nancy Lockmon said those are two areas her side must clean up heading into tonight's D-2 semifinal against No. 3 Sterling (19-7) at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
But, at least for one day, Giltner can celebrate.
"It's pretty important. It wasn't pretty, and we know that. But like I told the kids — it's a W and it's in the book," Lockmon said.

The Black FoxOnce upon a time, in a forest where three streams merged into a small, fast-flowing river, the locals say a shadow took life in the form of a black fox.So shiny and thick and smooth was the coat of this black fox, it was said that hunters who caught sight of her were driven mad with the desire to own her pelt.The best hunters for miles around chased after this elusive prey, but none succeeded. Indeed, many of them chased after the fox, deep into the darkness beneath the ancient pines, and never returned. Some believe they came across misfortune. Some believe they were taken by the fox into the fairy realm. Some have even more sinister theories to relate.In a time when the autumn was crisping the leaves and turning the air cold, a young man went into the woods to gather firewood to sustain his family through the oncoming winter.His bow was slung across his shoulders, and he carried an axe to cut wood, but he had no intention of killing any living creatures this day, and after many l
Ant in the sinkAnt in the sinkToday I was brushing my teeth, like any other day I brush my teeth. But today was some what different, separating itself from those "any other" days. When I spit out the foamy toothpaste suddenly I see an ant. He was really small like all ants are and he was trapped in the foam. I'd seen plenty of ants before, I'd killed plenty of ants before, so as before I did not care in the slightest.But I looked on and I noticed how much he was struggling. He was squirming, and kicking, and pushing, and squirming some more. And as I watched him struggle, I realized, he was struggling to hold on to life. This little ant wanted to live, and he was trying his hardest to get out of the unlucky situation that he'd ventured himself into. And me I was partially responsible for his adventure coming to an end.He was sinking down further and further toward the drain. A place where I doubt an ant like himself could return from. I suddenly couldn't let it end there. After strugg

The Waiting Room Premieres on Monday, October 21, 2013 at 10 PM as
Part of the First PBS Indies Showcase
"Memorable. Haunting. Engrossing. Should be required viewing by the
Supreme Court." - Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
(San Francisco, CA) – The Waiting Room is an extraordinary immersive documentary that goes behind the doors of Oakland's Highland Hospital, a safety-net hospital fighting for survival while weathering the storm of a persistent economic downturn. Stretched to the breaking point, Highland is the primary care facility for 250,000 patients of nearly every nationality, race, and religion, with 250 patients — most of them uninsured — crowding its emergency room every day. Using a blend of cinema verité and characters' voiceover, the film offers a raw, intimate, and often uplifting look at how patients, staff and caregivers cope with disease, bureaucracy, frustration, hope and hard choices during one typically hectic day.
The film weaves together several stories from the hundreds being played out in the waiting room: a frightened child with a dangerous case of strep throat, a young man with a testicular tumor in desperate need of surgery, as well as those suffering from chronic conditions such as alcohol and drug abuse, heart disease, and diabetes. Young victims of gun violence take their turn alongside artists and uninsured small business owners. Steel workers, cab drivers and international asylum seekers crowd the halls.
We also meet the overwhelmed hospital staff who cope with under-staffing, insufficient beds, and a never-ending stream of ER patients who jump to the head of the line of those sitting in the waiting room. As one doctor says, Highland is "the institution of last resort for so many people."
The Waiting Room lays bare the struggle and determination of both a community and an institution functioning with limited resources and no road map for navigating a health care landscape marked by historic economic and political dysfunction. Through this story of one hospital and its multifaceted community, the film powerfully and poignantly illustrates the common vulnerability to illness that binds us together as humans.
Visit the The Waiting Room companion website, which features information about the film, including an interview with the filmmaker and links and resources pertaining to the film's subject matter. The site also features a Talkback section for viewers to share their ideas and opinions, preview clips of the film, and more.
Director's Statement from Peter Nicks
The Waiting Room presents a composite day in the life of patients at Highland Hospital in Oakland, California, edited from five months of filming in 2010. This film developed from stories my wife, a speech pathologist at Highland Hospital, told me about the struggles and resilience of her patient population. And a few years ago, as the contentious vote for health care reform got louder, it occurred to me that the people who were not participating in the debate were the very people we were fighting over: those stuck in waiting rooms at underfunded public hospitals all over the country. How would the patients in the waiting room at Highland Hospital respond to President George W. Bush's statement, echoed by many others, that we already have universal health care in this country because, by law, nobody can be turned away from an emergency room for lack of ability to pay?
By following the caregivers and patients as they passed through the waiting room, we felt we could shed some light on the challenges of delivering primary health care in an environment designed for emergency medicine. What we found was that the uninsured were more likely to be hospitalized for avoidable conditions because there is virtually no continuity of care — no regular doctor to get a detailed medical history and then a follow-up visit to make sure the prescribed treatment is working. And because the wait times are so long — both in the emergency department and to see a doctor in the clinics — simple conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes can escalate to severe life-threatening emergencies like strokes or kidney failure. These true emergencies end up back in the emergency department but at a much higher personal and financial cost.
The Waiting Room is a story and a symbol of our national community and how our common vulnerability to illness binds us together as humans.
Deja Bruce is a young girl who has arrived in the emergency room with her father Demia Bruce, suffering from a severe infection that has swollen her entire face and raised her temperature to nearly 104 degrees. Demia has gone a year without a job and for the first time has to depend upon someone else to provide health care for his daughter.
Eric Morgan arrived at the hospital with his caring girlfriend and a recent diagnosis of testicular cancer. Since he has no insurance he is at the mercy of local hospitals to provide the urgent care he needs.
Davelo Lujuan has returned with terrible back pain caused by bone spurs, yet because he works as an independent contractor laying carpets he is unable to afford health insurance.
Carl Connelly is back in the ER. He's been there before. This time, doctors likely saved his life. He may return again. But for Carl the ER is his last resort.
Barbara Johnson is a diabetic senior citizen who might be invisible if it were not for a remarkable nurse who treats her with the care and attention one would expect from family.
Certified Nurse Assistant Cynthia Y. Johnson is the scene-stealing triage nurse who defies all expectations, managing the entire waiting room and putting patients at ease, often disarming their anger as they labor through the often infuriating system.
Dr. Douglas White, the determined and calm emergency room doctor, juggles an influx of uninsured patients, providing a remarkable level of attention to each patient while keeping things moving. But even Dr. White shows stress of a system where thousands depend upon a single emergency room for the full scope of their health care needs. Registered Nurse Liz Lynch balances her role as caregiver, patient advocate and ER administrator who must quickly find beds for patients and cope with the crush of often-frustrated patients who continue to fill the waiting room just a few dozen feet away.

Any "Ellen" segment that ends with the line, "Audience, look into my vortex and dance with me!" has to be good, right? Right.
Pastor Larry Tomczak wrote an op-ed for the Christian Post about the gay "assault" on American programming that's brainwashing kids into thinking being gay is acceptable and blah, blah, blah, snooze, drool. Here's what he wrote about Ellen DeGeneres:
"Ellen DeGeneres" celebrates her lesbianism and "marriage" in between appearances of guests like Taylor Swift to attract young girls.

how should stonefruit seeds be saved ?
should the flesh be cleaned off and how ? did a search on the forum but the messages always came up missing regarding this subject. thanks,
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Wildlifeman, Stone fruit(peaches, plums, etc.) are in the rose family and need to be treated in the same manner. The seeds can not dry out. They must be sown once harvested out of the fruit. They need a cold period to germinate. Great success can be had using the Wintersowing method. Remy |
- Posted by wildlifeman n.e. washington (My Page) on Mon, Oct 20, 08 at 1:35
remy, for myself i do plant soon after eating the fruit. and i do sow in a permanent location ,so no transplanting. momma nature stratifies my pits more effectively than i can. i'm saving some seeds for others and some are from clingstones which are a bit of a mess. i imagine a cleaner pit would just be for aesthetics but should germinate fine. i'm not familiar with the wintersowing method. thanks and regards, wildlifeman |
Hi Wildlifeman, I would just make sure the time between cleaning and giving to others isn't long enough to cause the seed to dry. Pkging in moist dirt in a baggie with a few airholes would do the trick if you need to hold them for a bit. Wintersowing is planting in a covered(with air holes) container outside to do a natural stratification. In general there is a high percentage rate of germination. I personally don't have much luck with direct sowing, so I love the witersowing method. Remy |

>>Return to Bulletins
The Bureau of Banking has become increasingly concerned about the asset/liability management ("ALM") practices at supervised institutions during this past year. Recent examinations have revealed that many institutions increased exposure to interest rate risk. The reasons for increased exposure appear largely due to a lengthening of bond portfolios to take advantage of a historically steep yield curve, particularly in view of weak loan demand, and increased potential sensitivity of traditionally non-interest sensitive deposit liabilities, such as regular savings and NOW accounts.
Many supervised institutions continue to rely exclusively on gap analysis for assessing and managing their level of interest rate risk. The Bureau recognizes that this traditional gap analysis is a flawed analytical tool as it does not adequately measure and/or distinguish basis risk, repricing velocity, and balance sheet momentum with respect to earning assets and funding liabilities. The current view among financial managers is that models simulating the impact of rate changes to net interest income and/or the market value of portfolio equity are a more accurate and sophisticated method of measuring and managing an institution's interest rate risk.
It should also be noted that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 directs the federal banking agencies to amend risk-based capital rules to account for interest rate risk by 6/19/93. Their preliminary proposal includes a duration-based measurement, which is a substantially different approach than traditional gap analysis.
The Bureau's on-site examinations also reveal that policies and practices of many supervised institutions, with respect to ALM management, could be improved. Policies tend to be overly general and do not create a framework of accountability and responsibility for managing the institution's balance sheet for liquidity and interest rate risk. Therefore, the Bureau requests that all supervised financial institutions review their ALM polices, practices, and management information systems for possible improvement. At a minimum, a good ALM policy should contain the following:
Since market interest rates are at historical lows, the yield curve is very positively sloped, and there are new regulations forthcoming from the federal banking agencies, the Bureau of Banking believes it is important for all institutions to reassess their ALM program. Considering that the federal banking agencies are scheduled to issue risk-based capital rules with an interest rate risk component by 6/19/93, particular emphasis should be placed on reviewing and improving management information systems with respect to ALM.
It is acknowledged that some institutions may chose to hire consultants to assist in developing an effective ALM program and managing liquidity and interest rate risk. The Bureau of Banking believes that employing qualified consultants with respect to ALM can be beneficial as long as the board of directors and senior management develop sufficient knowledge to critically evaluate advice and recommendations of their consultants. It is important, however, that institutions chose their ALM consultant carefully. Many broker/dealers are now representing themselves as competent ALM advisors as a marketing tool and offer ALM models as "soft dollar" incentives to open accounts and execute trades through their firms. Financial institutions should not engage ALM advisors who are fully or partially dependent on some volume, incentive, and/or transaction-based compensation. In order to avoid conflicts of interest, institutions should only hire ALM consultants or advisors who provide service for fees and who have no financial interest in the implementation of recommended strategies.
