ABS vs Other Plastics
I just began to study some of the issues of plating plastics because next year I will do graduate studies (diploma) in Plastics Plating. I have found many papers of plating ABS but a few plating other plastics (PP, PC, PA66). Does ABS have advantages to be plated over other plastics?
Gustavo Quintanar- Monterrey, N.L. Mexico
Hi Gustavo,
Whereas I know zilch about plating plastics, I know a little bit about ABS.
ABS should have better impact properties than most other plastics (except Pe) and is eminently cementable.
Unlike PVC, for instance, you can, if you know how, edge join ABS using cement to achieve high strengths.
I'd imagine, too, that its coeff. of thermal expansion is far less than PP or Pe. In other words the chances of a plated section 'delaminating' should be less. Go check your books.
It is OK for aliphatic solvents but not, like PP, the polar solvents. It's house usage as drain pipe is excellent..
In mining applications they used a MINELINE pipe which is made of ABS ... and the fittings are CEMENTED together. Why ABS? Because of its impact strength and good abrasion resistance.

The reason that most of the processes relate to ABS is because ABS can be etched chemically giving good keying and therefore adhesion. The "B" butadiene component of the ABS is microetched out with chromic/sulphuric and when the plating is pulled off in adhesion testing plastic comes away with the electroplate.

ABS is acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene. It is the workhorse of the plastics industry and is used in a myriad of parts. The beauty about it is that it is cheap and easy to metallise. Metallisation is achieved by etching it in chromic acid; this dissolves out the butadiene particles to leave a micropitted surface. The etchant also chemically reacts with the surface of the polymer to give chemically reactive sites. Other chemical etchants, such as permanganate are also known and can be as effective as chromic acid, but they are not as universal. The surface can then be easily metallised by conventional plating on plastics processes. Other plastics can also be treated in this manner and it is possible to get good metal adhesion. The polymers you mention (PP, PC and PA66) are a mixed bag. PP is very difficult to metallise, although it can be done; however, adhesion is not brilliant and it has a large coefficient of expansion,so delamination can be a problem, especially with high thermal cycling. PA66 is a nylon and readily adsorbs water; this makes it dimensionally unstable and not very suitable for wet processing; it also runs the risk of adsorbing chromic acid and this will not do any good to the products long term integrity. PC can be metallised by the above method with a great deal of success, but it is expensive (relatively). Other good plastics are MIPS and HIPS, acetal, etc. However, it is essential that before metallising plastics you are sure the plastic is fit for purpose in the final product. It is also possible to activate plastics by more sophisticated methods such as plasma etching.

Dear Sir,
ABS was not only one of the first polymers to be metallized but it is also one of the easiest. It's full name is [A/crylene B/utadiene S/tyrene ] as you see it is acopolymer which contains rubber and that make etching very easy and so the adhesion will be good and that is the key in any satisfactorily plating technique.
Hi, Gustavo,
If you are to graduate on Plating On Plastics(POP) then you should already be aware that ABS is perhaps the only plastic readily available that has three components, one of them (butadiene) is a sort of rubber, the other two are plastic. This rubber is discretely and randomly dispersed in the form of round particles in a matrix formed by the other two components. When you immerse it in the proper chemical only those rubber balls are dissolved leaving tiny rounded pits over the plastic part. Maximum adherence is obtained at those pits where the orifice is smaller that the inside. This creates a mechanical counterlock when metal builds .inside them. No other roughening or etching can produce this geometry.

How can I test to see if the material is ABS or HIPS plastic

Community: Happy hour knows no color
Story by Acamea Deadwiler
John Harrison prefers not to have his photo taken. Maybe he's a bit camera-shy — but he's also looking to shine the spotlight on the people who make this thing happen. "You can take a picture of the crowd," he says. "It's about the people anyway." The people he's referring to? Those drinking, chatting and laughing on a recent Tuesday night at Blue Martini. That's one hotspot where Harrison's culture and events website, BlackVegas.com, has held its NeoSoul Happy Hour. Sure, it's a reliably packed happy hour that draws a standing- room-only crowd (it recently moved to Tuesday nights at Bagatelle in the Tropicana). But it's also evolved into a socially rich, old-school gathering where people do more than sip appletinis and swap business cards. Harrison is proud to say that NeoSoul regulars have found everything from spouses to jobs to medical advice at BlackVegas.com events. (Just don't call it — ugh — a network mixer. Too staid. "Nobody wants to get off of work and go talk about work some more," he says. "They want to go and chill.") Perhaps more significantly, in an era when Facebook sometimes seems to have poured us all into one big generic melting pot, Harrison's BlackVegas. com website is interesting because its version of diversity is straightforward and no-nonsense: It's a black thing — and you're invited. A Houston native, Harrison bought the BlackVegas.com site 12 years ago and launched it as a clearinghouse for black culture, events and entertainment, selling ads himself and eventually partnering with businessman Devin Moore. His business partner Moore senses a lucrative market beyond Las Vegas: He aims to eventually develop a string of city websites under his GoUrban banner, catering to blacks, Asians and Latinos. "When you go to different cities and you're looking for black things to do, rarely do you find anything online," Moore says. "Or, you find it from websites that aren't updated or have little information." Like Harrison, Moore says the focus on minorities isn't intended to be exclusive — but neither is he apologizing for it. "Being able to connect with people that are just like you is all-important and should never, ever be seen as something that other people are excluded from," Moore says. Harrison has a take that's more in line with his Houston roots. "People, in the beginning, they may think about race (when they see the site)," he says. "They may think about exclusiveness, but when they see that I'm just a big country boy from Houston that don't really give a damn and don't really like anybody that I don't like, they don't bother me!" Hm. Maybe it's a Texas thing.

Guardianship in Case of Death
I have two children and my husband and I want to make sure they are in good care if something were to happen to us. Does anyone know what you have to do to appointment someone guardian in case of our death? His brother already agreed to take in the children if something was to happen, I just want it all in writing just in case
So What Happened?™
We are going in two weeks to have a living will drawn up by a lawyer. We are going to take the next two weeks to discuss what we want in length and we are gettinga third life insurance policy, except this time instead of a whole policy we are getting a twenty year term with our brother as the beneficiary so that we can make sure he has extra money to buy anything he initially needs and then we are making a small list of some of the things we want bought with the whole policy that are kids are the beneficiary of.

My husband and I just went through this we used just a basic program from the computer called business home lawyer. it will take you step by step doing a will of guardianship you will have to sign it, they will have to sign it and you will need a witness to sign it as well as to have it notarized. It was simple quick and is legally binding. Good luck

Hi J. - My husband is an attorney - you'll need to hire one to help you with this. It's an easy process and I'm so glad you're taking this step! So many people don't!
N.W. answers from Detroit on January 27, 2007
You can have guardianship papers drawn up by an attorney for a small fee. We had ours added to our will/estate/trust paperwork right after my son was born. It is a fairly simply document and will name the guardian, anything else you will in care for your children, etc. (for example we named by parents and made my father executor of our estate. Everything is left to our son, in trust, for my parents to use as necessary) You can specify if you want money used for certain things, i.e. college, etc. You should also name a contingent guardian, just in case.
I would actually contact your local court and ask if they have the paperwork. You may be able to simply fill out a form and have it notarized. Make sure your guardian has a copy!
Most law firms would perform this servce for a small fee (probably less than 200$).

K.D. answers from Detroit on January 26, 2007
You need a will to make it legal so no one can fight over what your wishes are. There are sites on the internet that offer will packages, you fill them out than get a lawyer to file it.
L.S. answers from Grand Rapids on January 27, 2007
Hey J.,
You need to have a Will made saying what you want done with your children and any property or assets you have. Although you might want to tel your family members that is what your plan is as anyone can contest a Will. It is somewhat hard for them unless they could proved the person you left your kids to as unfit.
J.F. answers from Kalamazoo on January 28, 2007
Hi J.,
I am a mom of a 9 month old and a 3 year old. My husband and I talked to a financial planner a couple of years ago and they told us you have to get what's called a "living will". Many people believe that if they make a "will" stating your intentions if you and your husband pass, who you want your child to go to, etc. This isn't the case. With a will, your kids still go to probate court and your siblings, friends, grandparents, etc. can all fight for custody and the judge will decide who is fit to have them, not you. A living will is the only way to ensure who gets them. You can also state how you want them raised and if money is left to them, how they are to spend that money throughout their lives. I think financial planners and attorneys are the ones that can help you get this done.
I hope this helps! Good for you to think of this and plan your children's future, in case you're not there to do it.

EUGENE, Ore. — A crash landing near Fern Ridge Reservoir leaves one man injured.
The plane came down just before 4:40 Friday afternoon.
It was part of Lane Community College's flight program.
An instructor and student were the only two people in the Cessna 152 when the engine stopped working.
The Instructor immediately took over controls and managed to bring the plane down in a field.
A wheel came off during the landing.
"In the recent history," Lane County Search and Rescue Coordinator John Miller reflected, "I don't recall LCC having a rough landing like this was. It's just nice to have 'em walk away and not have any fatalities."
The instructor suffered minor injuries, but did not go to the hospital.
The National Transportation Safety Board will conduct an investigation.

CLAYTON -- Johnston Medical Center is one step closer to expanding its care facility to soon be able to treat patients overnight, deliver babies, and lessen the wait to be treated in the emergency room.
Last week the planning board approved plans to add a 3-story facility to the existing medical center, and add 50 in-patient beds. The 100,000 square foot project will cost about $50 million, according to Johnston Medical Center Chief Operating Officer Jackie Ring. The project is scheduled to be completed by 2015.
"Right now when somebody comes here and needs to be admitted to a hospital bed, they are transferred to Smithfield and they have to get in an ambulance," said Ring. "This expansion will allow us to hospitalize people in Clayton."

Dark Match
1. Tarvaris Thomas beat an unknown wrestler. The crowd had no patience for this. Thomas won a bad match with a kick to the head.
TV Taping For Week One
1. Cedric Alexander and Caprice Coleman defeated The Briscoes in a Proving Ground match. Solid opener. The Briscoes always fire up the crowd. The finish came when Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas beat up Jay Briscoe behind the referee's back. Mark fell victim to a double team move.
2. Rhino (w/Truth Martini) beat an enhancement wrestler. Martini cut a promo before hand about Roderick Strong winning the ROH TV Title and how he'd signed Rhino. Clothesline, suplex, Gore, goodnight.
Kevin Kelly introduced Kevin Steen accompanied by Jimmy Jacobs. They mentioned a match scheduled between Steen and Edwards and talked some trash. Davey Richards comes out. Both men are wearing flags. The match is in Toronto. There was more shit is talked between the two, including the personal history between them and the fact that Steen asked Richards for help in getting reinstated.
After all the shit talk, they challenged one another right then and there. The refs kept them apart. Jim Cornette had them sign a waiver saying ROH is not liable for any injuries to either. Cornette then revealed the waiver also states that the pile driver is legal for one night only, and also that it is Steen's only shot. Good promo segment; real solid heat between the two. This will be a good one.
3. Roderick Strong (w/Truth Martini) defeated Adam Cole to retain the ROH TV Title. Michael Elgin came out midway through the match. Cole dove onto him without provocation. When Elgin recovered, he distracted the referee, allowing Martini to smash Cole with the Book of Truth. Strong hit his finisher for the win.
TV Taping For Week Two
1. Tomasso Ciampa (w/The Embassy) defeated Matt Taven. Ciampa went for the win after hitting a German at the bell, but Taven survived. Jay Lethal then sat at ringside and the match continued. What looked to be a squash became a competitive match. Ciampa won with two running knees in the Tree of Woe followed by Project Ciampa. He then confronted Lethal, but that didn't go anywhere.
2. Mike Mondo beat T.J. Perkins. The Young Bucks came out and just like the earlier match, Perkins dove on them and Mondo before they interfered. I guess they did then because Mondo won right after that, but I didn't see it. The Bucks and Mondo triple teamed Perkins until the All Night Express made the save. My goodness, this stuff is getting a bit predictable. Mondo was much more over than at the previous Baltimore tapings.
3. Kevin Steen defeated Kyle O'Reilly. Steen won with the F5. He and Jacobs then attacked Kyle's leg, which had been hurt during the match. Davey Richards rescued his lover. This led to another pull apart. Steen left and Davey cut a bad promo promising to kill Steen. He also called himself a wolf repeatedly. I wish he would stop that shit.
TV Taping For Week Three
1. Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas beat The D-Line. The losing team may have been locals. They were very over and there were lots of people wearing their shirts, mostly kids. I'd never heard of them. Shirts covered the D-Line's fatness. Haas and Benjamin couldn't quite cover up what shitty wrestlers they were.
2. The Colony of Fire Ant, Green Ant and Soldier Ant defeated El Hijo del Ice Cream, Ophidian, and a third wrestler. The Colon won with a triple team alley pop splash. This match was hilarious. If you haven't seen Chikara, this is a good representation. Fun stuff.
3. Jay Lethal beat Ricky Reyes. Reyes is not very over, probably because he only appears in ROH at television tapings and only to job. Lethal won a short, unremarkable match.
4. ROH Champion Davey Richards defeated Rhino (w/Truth Martini, Roderick Strong) in a Proving Ground match. Richards won when he countered the Gore with a sunset flip. Yes, he won with a sunset flip. Decent match. The crowd no longer loves Davey to say the least. The House of Truth jumped Davey afterward. Jay Lethal made the save. The reason to watch this match is to see Truth's ridiculous outfit.
TV Taping For Week Four
1. Eddie Edwards defeated "The Prodigy" Mike Bennett (w/Maria Kanellis, Brutal Bob). Brutal Bob tried to interfere, but Edwards double stomped him. Bennett tried to capitalize with a rollup. Edwards instead rolled him up. There was another heel beat down. The match was whatever. Edwards is good. Bennett has plateaued and made Maria too central to...

MEDFORD, Ore. – It was a much more quiet day at the Jackson County District Attorney's office Friday. The scene has been cleared after Wednesday's explosion. Medford Police said they are making progress, but still need the public's help.
Medford Police said Friday they have received new information about the case, but said they are not releasing it to the public yet. Their main focus is gathering tips and information from the public to help piece together the events of Wednesday morning.
Thursday, police said they are looking for a black or dark colored two-door convertible that was seen speeding away on King Street shortly after the explosion. They don't know if the driver is involved, but said they want to talk to that person.
As the case heads to the weekend, police say tips will help keep the trail warm.
"We need people to continue to provide us with information even if they think it's not significant," said Medford Police Lt. Mike Budreau. "Or if maybe they're afraid to come forward, they're apprehensive about being involved, they can be anonymous. We can work with them on all that stuff."
There are several ways to submit a tip:

Simplified Arbitrations
If a party files an arbitration claim in which the amount in dispute is $50,000 or less, exclusive of interest and expenses, FINRA will process the claim using the Simplified Arbitration rule. Simplified arbitration cases are also called "paper" or "small claims" cases.
All provisions of the Code apply to these arbitrations, with some exceptions.
A single arbitrator will decide an arbitration administered under this rule, unless the parties agree in writing otherwise.
No hearing will be held in simplified arbitrations unless the claimant requests one. If no hearings are held, the arbitrator will render an award based on the pleadings and other materials submitted by the parties.
Increases in Amount in Dispute
If any party to a simplified arbitration increases the amount in dispute to more than $50,000, the arbitration will no longer be administered under this rule, and the regular provisions of the Code will apply.

Friday, June 6, 2014
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - A new poll shows that Pennsylvanians support natural gas exploration by a nearly 2-to-1 margin, but they're opposed when it occurs under state parks and forests.The Quinnipiac University poll released Friday put support for Marcellus Shale drilling at 58 percent, with 33 percent opposed. Democrats are against drilling by a margin of 48 percent to 41 percent.
Almost 40 percent of the registered voters surveyed say they're less likely to vote for Republican Gov. Tom Corbett this year because of his intention to allow the extraction of natural gas from rock buried deep below Pennsylvania's state forests and parks, while still barring drilling from disturbing the forests and parks above ground.
The industry has brought jobs and economic activity, but it's also raised concerns about the environmental impact.

Heinrich Legislation to Remove Barriers Between Native American Families and Homeownership Clears Committee Hurdle
WASHINGTON, D.C. – November 22, 2011 – (RealEstateRama) — A bill sponsored by U.S. Representative Martin Heinrich (NM-1) to remove barriers between Native American families and homeownership unanimously passed the House Committee on Natural Resources earlier today.
Since he first introduced the Helping Expedite and Advance Responsible Tribal Homeownership (HEARTH) Act in 2009, Rep. Heinrich, along with pueblos, tribes and housing organizations across the country, has advocated for its passage to allow tribes to exercise greater control over their lands and eliminate bureaucratic delays that stand in the way of homeownership in tribal communities.
"We all know how important homeownership is to healthy communities, and the last thing the federal government should do is stand in the way of families ready and willing to buy a house," said Rep. Heinrich, currently serving his second term on the House Committee on Natural Resources. "There are many families who would prefer to stay and raise their children in the communities where their families have lived for generations—but instead have moved from Indian Country to nearby cities because they want to own a home. Families shouldn't be forced to make such an important decision based on how many months or years it will take a federal bureaucracy to approve a mortgage on tribal land."
The HEARTH Act would expedite the lease approval process by allowing tribal governments to approve trust land leases directly, rather than waiting for approval from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The HEARTH Act would remove existing bureaucratic and time obstacles prospective Native American home owners encounter when seeking approval from the Bureau of Indian Affairs to buy a home on tribal land.
"The HEARTH Act of 2011 will go a long way in strengthening tribal self-determination and tribal economies at the same time. We know the time frame for individual tribal members to receive a home-site lease is arduous and can be as long as three years under the current Bureau of Indian Affairs process, but we anticipate that these improvements in leasing and enhanced tribal control over surface leasing will help more tribal members get into homes quick," said National American Indian Housing Council Chairwoman Cheryl A. Causley. "The NAIHC strongly supports the HEARTH Act of 2011 because it respects and fosters Indian tribal decision-making, expedites what can often be lengthy Federal administrative processes, and will improve the delivery of Federal housing assistance and expand economic opportunity in tribal communities."
The HEARTH Act now goes to the full House of Representatives for consideration. A companion bill passed the Senate Indian Affairs Committee in July 2011.

Laurel wreath
A laurel wreath is a horseshoe or circle-shaped wreath made from Olive Twigs that can be worn on the head. In Greek mythology, the god Apollo is shown wearing a laurel wreath because of the story of Apollo and Daphne. In Ancient Greece it was given to special people, such as winners in competitions in poetry or sports, such as the Ancient Olympic Games.
It was also used in Ancient Rome, and Roman Emperors are often shown wearing laurel wreaths.
Until our time laurel wreaths are used to show that someone has done something special (for example the Summer Olympics 2004 in Athens, Greece gave laurel wreaths to the winners). The saying "resting on one's laurels" comes from this and means that someone relaxes now because he or she did something good in the past.
These days some are given to college students when completing big projects right before graduation.

The Touch of Class
In this series, individuals share how taking Christian Science Primary class instruction has strengthened their spiritual understanding, and brought increasing inspiration and healing to their lives.
Clear knowledge
From the October 8, 2012 issue of the Christian Science Sentinel
When I first met my husband, I remember being so impressed with how he came to take class instruction from his Christian Science teacher. His experience was akin to Moses' encounter with the "burning bush," or so it seemed to me.

Does anybody knows how to detect when user blows into the device microphone, and then the app should do something? I've searched allover the internet but I didn't find any code or explanations. Can someone help me!
Take the 2-minute tour
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The job of detecting when a user blows into the microphone is separable into two parts: (1) taking input from the microphone and (2) listening for a blowing sound. The noise/sound of someone blowing into the mic is made up of low-frequency sounds. We'll use a low pass filter to reduce the high frequency sounds coming in on the mic; when the level of the filtered signal spikes we'll know someone's blowing into the mic. Source: http://mobileorchard.com/tutorial-detecting-when-a-user-blows-into-the-mic/ EDIT And here is some small SoundMeter class for Android: http://code.google.com/p/android-labs/source/browse/trunk/NoiseAlert/src/com/google/android/noisealert/SoundMeter.java?r=2 |

EricJuly 1998 |
Hey first things first, let me apologize; I know I've taken a little two month break like I promised I wouldn't. But I'm back now and god if don't have tons of stuff to write about now I guess lets start from the beginning, that would be the remainder of March and all of April. First, lets just say the great boyfriend hunt is over. No, it wasn't the totally cute waiter I was madly in love with but more on that later. Let's see, it all began with getting a new job; yeah I no longer work at the bookstore. It was fun and all, but I felt as if life was passing me by. It was time to be grown up and have a real job. Well either that or the money wasn't good enough. Which do you think it was? Yeah, the money. It took like three months to find another job, but I finally found one the first week in April.
I'm now working for a long distance phone company. Without naming names, it's the fifth largest in the country. And if you're wondering AT&T, MCI, Sprint/WorldCom, and LCI I believe) are ahead of us so don't even guess those I pretty much doubled my salary with the job change and now fly a desk for nine hours a day. I dreaded working behind a desk, but the money is too good and I don't seem to mind it nearly as much as I thought I would. My job title is Premier Client Support Specialist. Basically what I do is provide customer support and some technical assistance to customers who are spending in excess of $3,000 a month on communications services. Funny thing is, the way I'm going these days with my own phone bill I think I just might be one of those customers someday soon. :) So basically, I talk on the phone all day. It's a great job for a fag, plus the company I work for is really gay friendly. To be honest with you, the communications industry or any high tech field for that matter is the way to go if your queer. And yes, we're still hiring e-mail me at email@example.com if you're interested of course you've got to live near the Detroit area or be willing to move there
Well enough about my job, it was about two weeks after I started working there, that my current boyfriend asked me out. Well, actually he e-mailed me and asked me out. Lets just call him Bill for right now, wait till next month to see if I remember his "name" So anyhow, I first met Bill at the beginning of the year through the support group I was going to. Well the only real reason I was going was to meet guys my age; funny thing is Bill is 29 So Bill and I had know each other for like 3 or 4 months and had been pretty good friends, but we just saw each other at the group meetings. Mind you this is the same guy who for three months heard about every crush I had, how all the guys in the bar just weren't doing it for me, and that it just seemed as if there were no men out there that appealed to me. And he still asked me out! So I figured why not, one date couldn't hurt. Well, I loved our first date, so we did it again, and again, and again; before we knew it we were spending a ton of time together and had lost track of the number of "dates". I stopped dating him a while ago, its like we just spend time together now, there's not all these date formalities anymore. We just call each other and make plans to see each other again. Sometimes he pays, sometimes I pay, sometimes we both pay. Sometimes we don't do a damn thing, but fall asleep in front of the TV together. Which brings me to my next topic
I finally moved out of my parents house. Funny thing was, when I was hired at the new job, I had no idea how I was going to spend all that money. Well, I found a way, its called paying rent. So yeah, I'm kind of broke again, but at least I'm broke in a place of my own, not my parents house. Well, it really isn't all my own. I live with another gay guy and his dog, which has been really cool. Except for the fact that the dog is pissed he travels all the time and is getting his revenge by having accidents in the house. The worst part of it is I have to clean them up since my housemate is a way on business when the dog is pissed. It's not too bad though, for $300 a month I get a house for the most part to myself in the gay friendliest city in the Detroit area and a great dog a 9yo yellow lab) that I usually love to death. And yes, in case you're wondering, I have had sleepovers with my boyfriend in my new house. In fact, he's got toothbrush that he keeps in my bathroom The worst part of it is though, I'm usually too tired at night and all we do is sleep together. But I suppose it's better then nothing.
The roommate situation has worked out really well for me. I was worried about living with a straight guy, I mean it's one thing for my straight friends to be OK with the fact that I'm gay; but it's an entirely different issue when I bring my boyfriend home for the evening and they're really confronted with my sexual orientation. Not that that would stop me, but it would definitely create tension between the two of us. With a gay roommate, it's no issue. We both have boyfriends; in fact, when I came over the first time to see the house, he made it quite clear that he was not interested in a roommate who was interested in fooling around. I probably see his boyfriend as much as he sees mine, and the four of us get along really well. My only other option was living alone, and even though he's usually only around on weekends, it's still nice to have someone else in the house besides the dog.
What I want to close with is the issue that hit me head on when I moved out. Yes, it's my orientation. I could always turn it on and off, well a better way of saying it is I had more control over how open I was about it. Living with another gay guy, as I've already said, has been the best thing for me. But all the sudden, I realized I could no longer mute my orientation as I had been doing around the rest of my relatives. It's not like we have a rainbow flag hanging on our porch, but our house definitely has a gay feel to it. Basically it looks too nice to be a straight house, let alone it definitely reflects a gay sense of decorating; apart from the more obvious pictures in the guest bedroom. Sooner or later, my relatives are going to do the math, if they haven't already, and figure it out. It's not really fair or reasonable of me to either expect my roommate to act straight around my relatives (not that he's a flaming queen either) or to avoid having my relatives stop by and see the new place. Sooner or later, like I said they're going to do the math, and I'm going to have to face the issue. I'm ready to though, I'm too old and too set in my ways to mute my orientation any more. I'll just deal with it when it comes up.
Until next month

The State of the American Worker
For me, Labor Day has always been a day to celebrate the contributions that working men and women have made to the strength and prosperity of the country. Yet I know that as we mark Labor Day in 2010, many workers across the country continue to feel more anxious than festive.
That's why this year, I wanted to use Labor Day as a chance to talk directly with you — the American worker. I want to share what I've seen and heard in my travels around the country, and I want you to know how the Labor Department is working to get America back to work.
Please take a moment to watch the video below and visit www.dol.gov/laborday for more information about the history of Labor Day and the many resources available to you through your Department of Labor.

Sunderland set to swoop for 3m-rated Stoke striker Ricardo Fuller
Sunderland boss Steve Bruce has started his search to replace Darren Bent by opening talks with Stoke City over a £3m move for Ricardo Fuller The Black Cats manager met his scouts and coaches on Wednesday for a lengthy discussion on how best to invest the money from Bent's £24million switch to Aston Villa and they are ready to turn to Fuller, 31, in the short term. Full of it: Sunderland could bring in Stoke striker Ricardo Fuller to replace Darren Bent A loan deal for Monaco's Dieumerci Mbokani, 25, is also an option. Jamaica forward Fuller, who is troubled by knee problems, would be an ideal solution before the end of the season and would allow Bruce to pursue bigger targets in the summer. In demand: Sunderland are also keeping tabs on Wigan's Charles N'Zogbia Wigan's Charles N'Zogbia and Manchester City's Adam Johnson remain at the fore in Sunderland's search for an attacking midfielder. But the chance of taking former Middlesbrough midfielder Stewart Downing from Villa back to the North East has diminished after the Bent spat.

BIOGRAPHY Gale Harold was born and raised in Southwest Atlanta, Georgia. In his youth, his parents were church people. Luckily, the influences of Jack London, Gandalf, and David Bowie alerted him to the bizarre inaccuracies of a Southern Pentecostal upbringing. After most of his childhood friends disappeared in the "white flight" exodus of the late 70's, he spent his high school years drifting amongst various socioeconomic harbors finding protection in the veneer of non committal collusion. He acquired a diploma and under a soccer scholarship to begin a Liberal Arts Degree in romance Literature at American University in Washington, D.C. But "creative differences" with his coach resulted in his departure after one half a year. He left the Capital to study Fine Arts at the San Francisco Art Institute. He squandered his academic scholarship however, and was eventually forced to make other plans. A gnawing obsession with Italian motorcycles led to several years of restoring and pants-set mechanics with Moto Guzzi motor bikes. In 1997 on the brink of financial exile from San Francisco he was urged by his compatriot Suzy Landau, producer for Francis Ford Coppola (Dracula & Tucker) to take his act to the stage. After being introduced to the luminous actor and director Joan E. Scheckel, he re-located to Los Angeles, beginning an intensive three-year period of dramatic study and exploration. This led to his theatrical debut as Bunny in Gillian Plowman's Me and My Friend at the Los Angeles Theatre Center. He also made his feature debut as Booker in Paul Scheuring's 36K. He was subsequently accepted to and completed the Actor's Conservatory Program with A Noise Within classical theatre company. There he appeared in productions of The Misanthrope and Cymbeline. He is currently starring as Brian Kinney in Showtime's version of the UK television smash hit Queer As Folk. View GALLERY:

What Glue To Use: Choosing The Right Adhesive!
By: Maria Nerius
Archival Needs. Acid Free?
Read the packaging and labeling. Most manufacturers will note if adhesive or glue is acid free on packaging or labeling. In most cases, you need acid free glue when adhering a photo. Most adhesives will not migrate to other areas so having acid free adhesive might not be critical for embellishments or paper arts like cardmaking, collage, or altered art.
The Surface Matters. Porous or Nonporous?
Select adhesive or glue that is right for your surface and that means you need to know if your surface is porous or nonporous. If you have both types, use a glue designed for the nonporous surface. You can also help the bond by giving the nonporous surface some "teeth" by lightly sanding or scraping the nonporous surface. A porous surface breathes (paper, fabric, unfinished wood) while a nonporous surface is slick (plastics, sealed wood).
You can see clearly that it dries clear.
Not all glues dry clear. You need to check the package and labeling to make sure the glue you plan to use dries clear if there is any chance it will be seen. Sometimes, no matter how clear the glue is, it will show on certain surfaces, for example, vellum papers. Transparent materials like vellum will always be difficult to get a true clear finish to once adhesive is used consider your adhesive placement and use embellishments to cover the glue.
Bonding Differences. Permanent or Temporary?
We usually assume adhesives and glues are permanent, but that isn't always the case. If you need a permanent bond make sure the product packaging and labeling indicate the adhesive or glue is permanent. Why use a temporary glue? You may want to reposition or remove a photo or element at some future date. Temporary glue will bond, but the bond releases with slight pressure so you will not tear a photo or paper. We got into trouble years ago when photo albums used adhesives that later became permanent. If the photo is valuable or one of a kind consider using photo corners.
Working Area. Open A Window?
All glues are chemical, but some adhesives and glues have a strong odor and should be used in a well-ventilated room. Open a window or use this glue outside. Keep out of reach of children. This glue needs to be tightly sealed or it will dry quickly and make it un-useable. You should also note that some adhesives and glues bond quickly, while others must dry. Epoxies and hot melts have a shorter working time than most liquid glues while tapes often bond instantly.
Liquid, Solid, Tape, or Hot Melt?
In most cases this is a personal choice. Liquid glue takes some practice and knowing that less is usually more when using any liquid glue. Solid adhesive is best around photos to limit any damage done by using too much adhesive. Experiment and understand that no one adhesive or glue can do every job needed for scrapbooking and the paper arts.

Covenant Kids, Taking the Sting Out of Shots
"That was fun!" says 9 year old Ty Hirschenberger. Not something you typically hear a kid having blood drawn say.
Kids who visit the Covenant Laboratories can feel a little more relaxed thanks to Covenant Kids donors and a bee.
Throughout the year, donations are collected to support pediatric programs at Covenant HealthCare via the Covenant HealthCare Foundation and the Covenant Kids Fund.
Each year after the Covenant Kids Telethon in April, projects across the hospital having an impact on pediatric patients can ask to be considered to receive Covenant Kids funding. Covenant Laboratory Clinical Education Specialist, Jami Millon, BS, MLS(ASCP)CM, had the perfect project.
"When I first saw Buzzy Bee® I knew he'd be a wonderful addition to laboratory services. It's intimidating for adults and kids to have blood drawn and immunizations administered; we don't want anyone to be afraid," says Millon.
Specially designed to be used as natural pain relief, Buzzy Bee® desensitizes the body's nerves in order to dull sharp injection pains. Buzzy® is a small vibrating bee with unique ice pack wings. In the same way rubbing a bumped elbow or running water over a burn soothes, Buzzy® crowds out pain by sending stronger motion and temperature sensations to the nerves to override sharp, itching or burning.
The Covenant Kids fund distribution committee agreed it was a worthy project. Made up of physicians, donors and community members at large, the group approved the funding request allowing 19 of these unique bees into outpatient and inpatient Covenant Laboratory locations.
"It's a fun way to engage the patient to take their mind off the poke," says phlebotomist Emily Ittner. "And, he's cute!" Kids like Ty are able to turn Buzzy® on. Then phlebotomists like Emily can focus the child's attention to a series of "distraction cards"- I spy-like flashcards- to keep their minds stimulated in other ways during the poke.
For loyal viewers of ABC's Shark Tank, Buzzy® might look familiar. The device was recently pitched to investors on the reality television show. For more information on Buzzy® visit www.buzzy4shots.com.
About Covenant Kids
Covenant Kids is a fund within the Covenant HealthCare Foundation committed to enhancing the care for all Covenant Kids, any Covenant patient under the age of 18, and their families. The fifth annual Covenant Kids Telethon will take place Saturday, April 19 from noon to 6pm at the Mid Michigan Children's Museum (315 West Genesee Avenue) airing live on WNEM TV5. Presenters will showcase equipment and projects made possible via previous donations to Covenant Kids. In the past four years, Covenant Kids has fulfilled funding requests for many hospital needs that support pediatric patients. From purchasing whole body cooling systems for preemies with encephalopathy, to initial supplies for newly diagnosed pediatric diabetes patients, to a Ret Cam that helps to diagnose a condition that can lead to blindness in premature infants, donations to Covenant Kids have made significant changes in the lives of countless children from across the Great Lakes Bay Region and beyond.
Covenant HealthCare provides the following specialized pediatric services:

The competition last year was highlighted by S&S Diner beating out one "original" and one "international" pancake house; by Clarke's Diner on South Beach coming in last and being so humiliated it packed up and left town; and by nagging gastrointestinal disorders that mercifully subsided after a few weeks' time. In recognizing that contests need not just maturation, but careful tinkering and improvement before they can attract maximum public interest (believe me, anyone who saw the opening and closing ceremonies at the original Olympics will tell you they were pathetic in comparison to recent years), we've ushered in a number of important changes.
Firstly the arena has been widened from four to seven unknowing participants, including drugstore diners, a national restaurant chain, and a fancy-schmantzy hotel. And while last year's winners were announced by me, in my pajamas, in my living room, with only my cat Sly in attendance, this year my wife has promised that if she's home she'll pretend to listen as well. Unfortunately she also added an ambiguous statement on the order of "Some people in this house actually have to go to work in the morning," which makes me believe I shouldn't count on her participation as a sure thing. Audience demographics and such don't matter to me anyway -- what's important are the awards themselves, not some shallow, ostentatious ceremony.

Based on the universal pancake premise that "if the batter ain't broke, don't fix it," the basic rules remain the same: no blueberries, bananas, buckwheat, granola, chocolate chips, chewing gum, or any other added options -- plain buttermilk pancakes only. The main criteria for judgment: quality of pancake. Fluffy or flat? Moist or dry? Steamy or cold? And all the subtle nuances, if there are any, in between. Secondary considerations may include the service, ambiance, quality of maple syrup, originality of garnish, type of coffee poured, the weather, how good a night's sleep I've had, sheer whim, and so forth. As any professional contest judge will tell you, weighing these numerous factors all at once is not an easy thing, but one of the unique attributes of the Flapjack Flip-Off is that there are no losers -- everyone goes home with an award.
Enough with the pomp -- let's proceed. Or as our Quaker Oats Aunt Jemima Pancake Mix Second Annual Flapjack Flip-Off Official Opening Cry goes: Batter Up!
The "At least you don't have to go far for a remedy if the pancakes don't sit right in the stomach" award goes to: Sheldon's, the corner drugstore/luncheonette in Surfside whose claim to fame is that Isaac Bashevis Singer was eating here when informed he had won the Nobel Prize for literature -- I wish I'd had as good an excuse for not finishing the pancakes. You'd think that after more than 50 years in operation they'd be able to do better than the trio of chewy, overcooked flapjacks that were slapped down on the counter. The syrup wasn't real maple, the butter came in paper-topped pats, and the coffee, billed on the menu as "a careful roasting of the finest and most expensive coffee grown anywhere in the world," was the typical weak coffee-shop variety. Price: 3 pancakes for $3.25; coffee $1.06. At 9501 Harding Ave., Surfside; 305-866-6251.
The "Most of the time we serve the same fine pancakes to everyone, regardless of their color" award goes to: Denny's. There was, in truth, less of a range between the worst and best pancakes this year. Denny's buttermilk flapjacks are probably prepared from a mix similar to the others, but they arrived at the table too pale in color, and lukewarm rather than steamy. Soft butter came in a scoop on top (preferable to individual pats), the maple-flavored syrup in a half-filled jar mislabeled "blueberry." Millstone coffee was steaming hot and relatively strong, the waitress quick on refills -- but slow on everything else. Price: 3 pancakes for $4.17; coffee $1.32. At 2947 Collins Ave., Miami Beach. 305-672-3393. Other locations.
The "How do you expect me to judge your damn pancakes at the ungodly hour of 7:30 a.m. on one measly cup of coffee" award goes to: Smitty's Restaurant. Steamy hot and fluffy, but lacking color on the outside with a bland, raw-batter flavor within (though the cakes were cooked through). Standard fake maple syrup, but the butter pats were salted (not quite appropriate for pancakes). Bonus points for homey surroundings and smiling waitresses. Bonus points subtracted, and then some, for never offering a refill on coffee -- and I was seated at the counter! Price: 3 for $3.45, 2 for $3. Coffee: $1.09. At 3195 NE Second Ave., Miami; 305-573-3162.
