PlayStation Video Download Store is Now Live!
PlayStation 3 & PSN News
PS4 News
Sponsored Links
346w ago
- The video download service is now live! It is accessible to all North American consumers through the PlayStation Store, either via PC or PlayStation 3. As mentioned previously, content purchased is fully portable, meaning you can playback these videos on both your PS3 and PSP.
Downloading will be not permitted outside the Authorized Term. In addition, once the Video Content has been downloaded from PSN, you will not be able to download it again for any reason without purchase of another copy.
On the rental side, you have 14 days to view the purchase and 24 hours to watch it after its first viewing.
For those who missed it, here is a PlayStation Video Store FAQ from earlier today:
What is the PS Video Store?
Available on the PS3, it allows you to choose over a variety of TV Shows and Movies to rent in either SD or High Definition. You can also purchase SD content to keep forever. Rentals last 14 days with a grace period of 24 hours once the content has started playing.
What systems can use it?
Available on the PS3, and also available to transfer directly to the PSP. You can also browse the store via PC for use on your PSP. Remote Play viewing is not available for downloaded content via Store purchases or rentals; the videos themselves simply don't appear when using Remote Play.
How much content is there?
As of July 15th, there is a bit less than 300 movies and over 1,200 pieces of TV show content. There is also exclusive content available from partners such as SCEI and SCEJ.
How much will it cost?
Prices will likely vary, but there seems to be some pricing guidelines in place.
Rentals are $2.99-3.99 in SD and can be upscaled using the latest 2.41 firmware. HD rentals are $5.99. SD copies can be purchased for $9.99 to $14.99.
How long are the rentals?
Rentals last 14 days with a grace period of 24 hours once the content has started playing.
Can I copy the movies to other systems aside from the PSP?
No. The videos downloaded are encrypted differently and show a title icon instead of the icons made by the user. Users cannot use custom icons on the videos.
Can I share videos like Game Sharing?
Unknown at this point.
Can videos on the PS3 be remotely viewed via PSP?
No, Remote Play does not show any videos purchased/rented via PS Video Store.
Where are all the preview options for movies?
They will be integrated with the store later this week, just like the launch of the game PS Store (even the movie Dewey Cox does not have the preview function shown at the E3 Sony conference).
Will videos be in my download history?
Videos seem to have their own separate download history icon. Rentals can only be downloaded once; after that you must repurchase to download again, unless the download was interrupted. Purchased content seems to be OK to download multiple times on the same system.
Will there be a PC store for the PSP?
Will I be able to transfer things on and off the PS3 Store and the PC Store?
It doesn't look like it. All content bought on the PC Store seems to only be activated for use on the PSP. If you buy it on the PS3, you can watch it on the PS3 and transfer it from the PS3 to the PSP. You cannot view your download history on your PC and download a PS3 purchase to your PSP. Wow, that wasn't confusing at all!
Can I download to an external HDD?
No, it must be on the HDD itself.
When will the store be updated?
"Weekly" according to Sony, likely on the Thursday/Friday of the regular store update.

At first I was excited to hear about this. I saw the $3.99 price and saw that HD movies would be available. Then I realized that HD are actually $5.99 and there's no option to purchase.
I really think Sony is missing the boat here. $3.99 is sort of the tipping point for me. Maybe I'm being cheap by not wanting to fork out the extra 2 bux, but anything over that and I feel like I'm being ripped off simply because I chose to upgrade to HD equipment.
The prices aren't really competitive with, for example, Netflix whom I would assume is a major competitor. Unless I'm missing something, Netflix only charges $4.99 for a whole month of rentals (including Blu-Ray).
The final nail in the coffin as far as I'm concerned is that the videos can't be saved to an external hard drive and they can only be downloaded once. Okay, say I'm a 20GB or 40GB PS3 owner and I start purchasing videos from the store. How long before I've run out of space? Even if I'm an 80GB owner it's not very much space. I can't delete and download again later and I can't transfer to an external device.
In reality, I've already upgraded my PS3's hard drive to 500GB, but that poses another problem. A couple months ago my hard drive died (thanks Maxtor!) and it made me realize just how much it sucks to have all my data stored on an encrypted internal drive.
Now imagine having 25 or more of your favorite movies on there and your hard drive fails. Sony expects you to repurchase any of those and too bad for you. At up to $15 a movie, that's getting close to $400 out the window. No thanks!
In order to get my money, here's what Sony needs to do:
1) rent HD videos (1080P) for $3.99 and sell HD videos for $14.99
2) allow files to be stored to an external USB drive. If FAT32 can't support the file size, then add support for NTFS or FAT64. Even a "free" filesystem such as EXT2/3 would be acceptable to me -- afterall the PS3 has it's own Format feature built-in, so everyone could easily convert their drive to this format.
3) stop worrying so much about controlling the distribution of media files -- it's only making it difficult for legitimate users. If I purchase or rent a video from your store, you shouldn't be concerned with what device I want to play it on. And if you have a record that I've purchased a video from you (as you do), there should be no reason why I should have to repurchase it in order to download it again (especially onto the same device).
4) make the TV shows free. I don't care if they include commercials, but I can't believe that anyone would regularly watch these at $1.99 a show when they could just flip on the tube. The only use for this that I can see would be for that rare occasion when you happened to miss your favorite show.
Anyway, that's my take on this new service. I'd be interested to hear what other people have to say about it, especially from someone who thinks it's a great idea. Of course if you agree with me, I'd like to hear that too

The NOVA | An interchangeable digital watch Read more
The NOVA | An interchangeable digital watch
About this project
Our Inspiration:
The Superstar brand was inspired by the many colors and cultures that come together in the Golden State of California. Since our hometown of Los Angeles is commonly known as a "melting pot" of different cultures, our vision was to create a colorful line of watches that could mix and match with any style.
Our Objective:
Through Superstar, we hope to provide a full line of colorful accessories that anyone and everyone could wear. Superstar embodies an open-minded mentality that allows us to think outside the box with every watch we release. Interchangeable pieces, playful colorways, and unique designs set Superstar apart from the rest. By supporting our project, you'll enable us to bring you the latest in affordable wrist fashion.
The NOVA will be offered at a special Kickstarter price of $25, discounted from the original $55 retail price. Our goal is to raise $2,000 within a 30 day period. With your involvement, we'll be able to fully develop the analog version NOVA that will interchange with the current design. With the NOVA's success, we hope to launch our small business to the next level... and beyond. All Superstar watches are designed in Los Angeles, CA and manufactured overseas in Hong Kong.
The NOVA
The NOVA is our first multifunction digital watch available with interchangeable bands. It's functions include: an alarm, 24-hour clock, stopwatch, dual time zone, calendar, and it's luminescent.
The movement of the NOVA pops out and allows wearers to interchange between the various band colors available. The customizable design currently allows for 42 completely unique color combinations to fit any mood, activity or outfit.
The silicone composite bands are lightweight and durable, making them perfect for active lifestyles. A single-fold, push-button clasp ensures that your Nova stays put on your wrist during all types of activities.
- LCD display with light
- Stopwatch
- Dual time zone
- Quick release clasp
Summer look book shots
We recently launched our website www.superstar-usa.com and have already got some Nova's onto the wrists of a few Superstars...
JetSetter, Diggy Simmons, rockin' his White x Red Nova.
Los Angeles Laker, Matt Barnes shows off his Black x White Nova.
Two-time Amateur Open champion, Danielle Kang, sporting a White x Purple Nova to match her golf outfit.
Past Collaborations:
NOS energy drink x Superstar watches
From Formula-D to NASCAR, NOS Energy Drink is the go-to beverage for all your high performance needs. Their roster of professional drivers include many who are deemed "Superstars" within the racing scene. It made perfect sense for us to link up with NOS and create a collaboration timepiece made exclusively for NOS drinkers. This special collaboration allowed us to debut what the analog version NOVA will look like.
Our Promise:
Since the product is already on its way, we expect to ship immediately after our goal is met. With your support, we hope to launch a complete line for Superstar Watches. Thanks for your time and consideration, your contribution will help fund:
- An analog version of the NOVA that interchanges with the current design- More colors!
- More styles!
- Endorsement deals... we got connections to the people you love to follow!
Our average cost to ship internationally is about $40, however, we would like to take care of 50% of that for you! Please add $20 at the time of pledging to help cover the cost of shipping for international orders.
No, although we can ship anywhere in the world, we can't afford to ship for free. We DO offer free shipping on all orders within the US.
Pledge $1 or more

The MGN Five Star Cinema in Glendale, California is open for business, according to an article published earlier this month by the Glendale News-Press:
After over a year of construction, Glendale's Five Star Cinema is open and its owners are betting that Glendale residents are ready to pay premium prices, such as almost $20 per ticket, for a luxury movie-going experience.
The theater, which was originally slated to open in autumn of 2012, has taken over the former Mann 10 theater complex at Maryland and Wilson avenues and an adjacent restaurant, turning the roughly 60,000-square-foot location into a complex with 10 screens, two full bars and a restaurant.

What does the name "Ttrree" mean? A name is much more than just a name!
T is for touching, the way you show you are.
T is for teacher, you truly are.
R is for rely, everyone's trustworthy friend.
R is for rational, the way you think.
E is for electric, a sparkling trait!
E is for eternal, your spirit will live.

Affymetrix Announces Research Collaboration With Massachusetts General Hospital To Validate And Develop New Oncology Biomarker Tests
Affymetrix, Inc. (NASDAQ:AFFX) today announced a research collaboration and licensing agreement with Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) to co-develop new cancer biomarker tests using the Affymetrix' QuantiGene® ViewRNA Assay platform*, an in situ hybridization assay capable of single transcript in single-cell detection. As part of this agreement, Affymetrix has the rights to commercialize the new biomarker tests as an outcome of this collaboration.
"This agreement provides Affymetrix with an important opportunity to expand its QuantiGene ViewRNA Assay offering into the pathology and cancer research markets by providing new multiplex chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) RNA biomarker assays which are validated on clinical samples for research applications. Advanced in situ RNA hybridization methods applied to less invasive clinical samples such as FFPE core biopsies, FNAs, and CTCs has the potential of becoming powerful new tools to deliver diagnostics that enable the oncologist to personalize patient care," stated George Bers, Vice President and General Manager, Gene Expression Business Unit Manager – Panomics at Affymetrix.
Currently, those who practice surgical pathology and cytology face challenges in the management of a broad range of cancers. Medical practitioners are optimistic that a solution to these challenges will be found in new biomarkers and drug targets which are being rapidly discovered by NGS and microarray technologies. Yet these new biomarker discoveries have in themselves become a challenge requiring extensive validation prior to becoming candidates for translation into diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive tests to fulfill the promise of delivering a new generation of personalized medicine and associated economic and healthcare outcomes.
"The future of cancer treatment lies in our ability to precisely identify specific biomarkers so we can then find effective drugs for that particular form of disease," said Daniel A. Haber, MD, PhD, director of the MGH Cancer Center. "This collaboration with Affymetrix aims to move this important work forward."

Ethiopia is an unlikely setting for a revived "food versus fuel" debate. As a country once overwhelmed by famine, it may seem odd that the Ethiopian government would be in favour of anything associated with food security risk. But the case for biofuels in Ethiopia is strong and it's growing stronger.
Like many countries, the Ethiopian government was eager to realise the potential of jatropha, a biofuel crop with "green gold" credentials, ten years ago. Opinions soured in 2007 and 2008 when the global food price crisis struck and biofuel production was identified as one of the root causes. This, coupled with disappointing jatropha harvests, prompted a swift exit by Ethiopia's biodiesel developers. Read more

Description This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/227,090, filed Aug. 1, 1988, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,947,592. The present invention relates generally to a particle blast cleaning apparatus and method, and is particularly directed to an improved apparatus and method for transporting sublimable particulate media from a receiving station to a discharge station within such a particle blast cleaning apparatus. Particle blast cleaning apparatus are well known in the industry. While sandblasting equipment is widely used for many applications, it has been found that the utilization of particles which naturally sublimate can advantageously be utilized as a particulate media of such equipment to minimize adverse environmental results and cleanup required following the cleaning activity. Earlier particle blast cleaning apparatus utilizing subliminal particles have included a rotary transport and more recently a lateral slide bar transport. An example of the rotary transport may be found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,617,064, which issued to the present inventor Moore on Oct. 14, 1986. It discloses a particle blast cleaning apparatus utilizing carbon dioxide pellets in a high pressure carrier gas. The particular particle blast apparatus described in the Moore '064 patent includes a body which houses a rotary pellet transport mechanism having transport bores used to convey the carbon dioxide pellets from a gravity feed storage hopper to the high pressure carrier gas stream for transportation of the pellets to a discharge nozzle. While the apparatus and method described in the Moore '064 patent can be utilized to accomplish particle blast cleaning, there are some very important practical problems. One significant problem associated with this apparatus is the agglomeration of the pellets when exposed to moisture. This moisture can be introduced into the system from the high pressure carrier gas stream through the discharging station. For this reason it is important to effectively seal out the moisture contained in the high pressure gas stream. In order to ensure that the high pressure gas does not leak into the rotary transport apparatus, a rather complex system of variable pressure gas seals is necessary. In the Moore '064 reference, the rotary apparatus is fitted with a corresponding set of circular face seals, and means to establish a force on such seals which is proportional in magnitude to the pressure of the transport gas. In order to achieve and maintain this critical sealing function, the circular seals must remain substantially flat in order to remain in intimate, continuous contact with the surfaces to be sealed. In addition to the manufacture of the rotor, a significant amount of machining is required to the housing that the rotary transport is disposed in. These factors contribute to a relatively high fabrication cost of the rotary transport unit. As a result of the force required to be exerted on the seals, the sealing surfaces must withstand a relatively great amount of friction, with such friction being applied at varying rubbing velocities across the diameter of such circular seals. The rubbing velocity and friction differentials tend to wear the seals at correspondingly different rates, creating a relatively difficult seal maintenance problem. Additionally, it has been found that the seal surface becomes subjected to erosion in critical sealing areas adjacent the receiving station due to occasional shearing of the particulate media at the cavity/receiving station interface. These seal maintenance problems led to the icing of the rotor surface due to the low temperature and slight residual moisture of the air supply which further degrades the seal, thereby allowing additional moist air to leak into the system. Empirically, it has been observed that the system under the Moore '064 patent cannot operate at discharge air pressures above approximately 175 psig without causing significant leakage of moist air into the apparatus. In order to provide delivery of the particulate media at a sufficient velocity from the nozzle, it is necessary that the apparatus be capable of handling higher discharge air pressures. It was also found that the apparatus design results in a slight time delay between successive discharge of pellets from the transport means. This causes a non-uniform or pulsating discharge of the particulate media from the apparatus. Additional rotary mechanisms which could be added using the Moore '064 design present a relatively complex and expensive modification problem. Maintenance problems would, of course, be correspondingly multiplied with the addition of more transport means. Present inventors Moore and Crane have been issued U.S. Pat. No. 4,744,181 for a Particle-Blast Cleaning Apparatus and Method. The Moore '181 Patent discloses a lateral transport apparatus, which offers certain advantages over the rotary transport method. However, several drawbacks remain with the apparatus disclosed therein. In the lateral transport apparatus a plurality of sliding bars, each having a transport cavity which is alternatively alignable with a receiving station and a discharge station, is disposed within channels located in a housing. As each individual bar reciprocates laterally, the corresponding transport cavity is brought alternatively into alignment with the receiving station, at which position pellets are gravity fed into the transport cavity, or with the discharge station, at which position the pellets are discharged by the high pressure carrier gas stream for transportation of the pellets to the discharge nozzle. The relative positioning of each transport cavity is synchronized such that the time delay between successive discharges of pellets from the nozzle is minimized. With the lateral transport apparatus, it also is necessary to maintain a seal between the upper and lower surfaces of the slide bar to prevent moist air of the high pressure carrier gas stream from leaking into the transport apparatus. Here again, face seals are used to seal between the sliding bar and the housing. It has been discovered that close tolerances are required to maintain the necessary flatness of the mating parts. This problem of sealing is multiplied by the use of the plurality of slide bars disclosed in the application. The increased number of moving parts, combined with the close tolerances required, results in a design that is both expensive to manufacture and to maintain. Also, by increasing the number of sliding parts which are sealed, the frictional losses of the unit are correspondingly increased. Empirically it has been determined that this system will not operate at discharge pressures above approximately 125 psig, because it requires additional drive power due to excess seal friction. This further limits the ability to obtain the required airflow velocity necessary to maximize the effectiveness of the cleaning apparatus. Both the Moore '064 and Moore et al '181 patents use only the action of gravity for transporting the pellets from the storage hooper to the transport cavities. It has been observed that the gravity feed by itself produces less than optimum flow to the transport cavity, resulting in only a partial fill of the cavity. In order to obtain a complete fill of the cavity using only gravity feed, it is necessary to increase the dwell time of the transport cavity at the receiving station. The result of increasing the dwell time is a decrease in the delivery frequency of the particulate media to the discharge station, thereby decreasing the delivery of the media to the nozzle and subsequently to the work piece. Thus the operator is faced with the choice between one frequency of delivery of a quantity of pellets which only partial fills the transport cavity, or a lower frequency of delivery of a greater quantity of pellets which completely fills the transport cavity. While gravity flow of the pellets to the transport cavities can be used to deliver pellets to the transport gas flow and subsequently to the work piece, it results in the delivery of less than the optimum quantity of pellets to the work piece. Despite the prior work done in this area, there remain problems of improving the reliability and cost of achieving and maintaining a proper seal between the particulate media transporting apparatus and the high pressure conveying gas required to discharge such particulate media. Additionally, there remained problems with achieving a relatively uniform delivery of sublimable particulate media in an economical and relatively simple manner. Consequently, prior art structures and processes delivered a relatively inefficient system with rather high maintenance costs. It is an object of this invention to obviate the above-described problems. It is another object to provide an improved particle blast cleaning apparatus featuring sublimable pellets as the particulate media and utilizing an improved pellet feeder means and process comprising a radial transport. It is yet another object of the present invention to achieve an improved particle blast cleaning apparatus capable of economically providing a relatively uniform flow of sublimable pellets in a stream of pressurized transport gas to a discharge nozzle. It is also an object of the present invention to provide an improved apparatus and method for radially transporting sublimable pellets in a particulate blast cleaning apparatus, with such apparatus featuring effective and reliable seals therewithin which can be easily maintained. It is another object of the present invention to provide an improved particle blast cleaning apparatus with a high pressure carrier gas stream. It is a further object of the present invention to provide an improved particle blast cleaning apparatus which can use high pressure carrier gas having a higher moisture content. Finally, it is an object of this invention to provide an improved particle blast cleaning apparatus which maximizes the flow of sublimable pellets into the high pressure carrier gas stream. Additional objects, advantages and other novel features of the invention will be set forth in part in the description that follows and in part will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following or may be learned with the practice of the invention. The objects and advantages of the invention may be realized and obtained by means of the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims. To achieve the foregoing and other objects, and in accordance with the purposes of the present invention as described herein, there is provided an improved particle blast cleaning apparatus featuring sublimable pellets as the particulate media, with such apparatus including a source of sublimable pellets, a housing means having pellet receiving and discharge stations, and a radial pellet feeder means for transporting the pellets from the receiving station to the discharge station. The feeder means includes a rotor having one or more transport cavities disposed in the circumferential surface of the rotor to receive the pellets for radial transport between such stations. The apparatus further includes a means for providing mechanically assisted flow of the pellets to the transport cavities at the receiving station, a discharge nozzle, and a means for supplying a pressurized transport gas adjacent the discharge station for conveying the pellets leaving the discharge station to the discharge nozzle. Still other objects of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in this art from the following description wherein there is shown and described a preferred embodiment of this invention, simply by way of illustration, of one of the best modes contemplated for carrying out the invention. As will be realized, the invention is capable of other different embodiments, and its several details are capable of modification in various, obvious aspects all without departing from the invention. Accordingly, the drawings and descriptions will be regarded as illustrative in nature and not as restrictive. The accompanying drawings incorporated in and forming a part of the specification illustrate several aspects of the present invention, and together with the description serve to explain the principles of the invention. In the drawings: FIG. 1 is an elevational view in schematic form illustrating a preferred embodiment of the particle blast cleaning apparatus of the present invention; FIG. 1A is a partial cross sectional view of the hopper and radial pellet feeder means of FIG. 1 showing the helical worm screw; FIG. 2 is a partial cross sectional view of the radial pellet feeder means of FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is a side sectional view of the radial feeder, taken along section line 3--3 of FIG. 2; FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of an alternative cavity design; FIG. 5 is a side view in partial section of a dual rotor embodiment; and FIG. 6 is a side view in partial section of a single rotor, twin cavity row embodiment. Reference will now be made in detail to the present preferred embodiment of the invention, an example of which is illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Referring now to the drawings in detail, wherein like numerals indicate the same elements throughout the views, an improved particle-blast cleaning apparatus 10 of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1. In particular, cleaning system 10 is illustrated in the form it would most preferably take for use wherein the particulate media is formed from liquid carbon dioxide. Such liquid carbon dioxide is stored in a storage chamber 29 at relatively high pressure (e.g. about 300 psig) prior to injection via inlet 21 into a pellet extrusion cylinder 22 at approximately atmospheric pressure where such liquid carbon dioxide passes into the solid stage. Liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) is maintained at about 300 psi and about 0� F. (-18� C.) in storage chamber 29 prior to being injected via the inlet 21 into extrusion cylinder 22 which is maintained at approximately atmospheric pressure. Due to the sudden drop in pressure, a portion of the liquid CO2 crystallizes from its liquid phase to a solid or "snow" phase. The snowflakes are retained within extrusion cylinder 22 by screens (not shown) which cover the outlet 23 through which waste gas is discharged. Upon collection of a predetermined amount of such snow within cylinder 22, a hydraulic ram 24 drives a piston forward within extrusion cylinder 22 to compress the snowflakes to a solid block, which in turn is extruded through a die in pelletizer 25. The resulting solid CO2 pellets pass through pellet conduit 28 to diverter means 50. During the initial start-up of the subject particle blast cleaning apparatus, extrusion cylinder 22 and pelletizer 25 must chill down to proper operating temperature (i.e. about -100� F. or -74� C.). During this chill-down time, imperfect pellets often result which are preferably disposed of as opposed to being run through the entire apparatus. It is for this reason that it is preferred that particle blast apparatus 10 include means 50 for diverting these imperfect pellets immediately outside of the apparatus. In this regard, diverter means 50 is shown as including a diverter valve 52 which can be hingedly moved between open and closed positions (both positions being shown by the broken lines of FIG. 1--the closed position depicted by the substantially vertical broken lines). Because it is preferred to maintain portions of the pellet hopper 30 at pressures slightly above atmospheric, it is preferred that diverting valve 52 include sealing means (not shown) for providing an airtight seal in its closed positions. It has been found that such sealing means can adequately be provided by a silicon rubber flexible sealing ring attached about the periphery of diverter valve 52 to provide an interference fit with waste chute 51 and, alternatively, the inner surfaces of diverter conduit 54 which connects pellet conduit 28 and the upper portions of hopper 30. Once extrusion cylinder 22, pelletizer 25 and pellet conduit 28 are sufficiently chilled down, the diverter valve 52 can be closed so that the pellets flow directly into hopper 30 where they are accumulated for subsequent discharge. Hopper 30 serves to provide surge capacity for apparatus 10 during use, and preferably includes high and low level sensors (e.g. sensors 31 and 32, respectively) to indicate the relative level of stored pellets therewithin. A separate CO2 gas line can be advantageously utilized to provide a slight positive pressure within hopper 30. This slightly positive pressure of CO2 gas within hopper 30 can in turn be utilized to preclude the influx of ambient air into hopper 30 during pellet transport operations. Particularly, the CO2 gas within hopper 30, being under slight pressure (e.g. approximately 1 psig) will flow outwardly when pellets are discharged from hopper 30 at receiving station 42, as shown in FIG. 2, thereby preventing the inflow of ambient air which may contain moisture. It is critical that moisture not enter the system at the receiving station of the feeder where it could enter the hopper, as moisture would quickly freeze at the extremely low temperatures involved herein, which could result in possible freeze-ups of the system or less efficient flow of particles therewithin. From hopper 30, pellets are moved by helical worm screw 132 through feed chute 33 to pellet receiving station 42. At pellet receiving station 42, pellets flow into pellet feeder means 40, due to the action of helical worm screw 132, for radial transport to the pressurized discharge system of the apparatus. FIG. 1A shows a partial cross sectional view of the hopper 30 and helical worm screw 132. Pellets are deposited into hopper 30, preferably to a level well above agitating rod 134, thereby submerging the helical worm screw 132. Helical worm screw 132 has a plurality of downwardly inclined helical surfaces 136, 136a, 136b, protruding from the shank 138, separated by agitating rods 134a, 134b, spiraling down through feed chute 33 and terminating at end 140 of shank 138. End 140 is disposed in receiving station 42 of pellet feeder means 40. The lower portion of hopper 30 is inclined towards the center line of shank 138 thereby funneling the pellets into proximity with the helical worm screw 132. The diameter of inclined helical surfaces 136, 136a, 136b is significantly smaller than the corresponding openings in the hopper 30, feed chute 33 and receiving station 42. As shown in FIG. 1A, the diameter of the helical worm screw 132 is approximately one half of the diameter of the corresponding internal surfaces. Helical worm screw 132 rotates in a direction such that pellets approximate to it are advanced along the inclined surfaces 136, 136a, 136b and are fed into receiving station 42. Agitating rods 134, 134a, 134b rotate with shank 138 to agitate the pellets, thereby assisting the uniform delivery of the pellets through feed chute 33. The rotation of helical worm screw 132 causes the pellets to be mechanically advanced into receiving station 32 and into transport cavity 64, when cavity 64 is aligned with receiving station 42. The rotation of driveshaft 138 may be synchronized with the rotation of radial transport rotor 62, but also works equally well without being so synchronized. The shapes and sizes of the internal surfaces of the hopper 30, feed chute 33, and receiving station 42, in conjunction with the shape and size of helical worm screw 132 allow any backup surge or excess flow of pellets created when transport cavity 64 is not aligned with receiving station 42 to be absorbed by the clearance around the helical worm screw 132 whereby pellets may flow in the reverse direction along the walls of the internal surfaces. The rotational speed of shank 138 is selected with consideration of the rotation of the radial transport rotor 62 to insure that the desired fill of cavity 64 is accomplished. Shank 138 may be driven by a separate motor 152 or by the same rotational source as drive rotor 62. FIG. 2 shows a partial cross-sectional view of the radial pellet feeder means 40. Pellets are fed through feeder chute 33 into receiving station 42 by helical worm screw 132. As mentioned above, it is important to maintain a slight pressure within the hopper and pellet feeder apparatus to prevent the entrance of any moisture containing air which could cause individual pellets to freeze together and possibly block or substantially impair the flow of pellets through the system. It is preferred, however, to maintain such pressure at a relatively low value (e.g. 1 psig) because it has been found that pressures above 10 psig tend to diminish the efficiency of the pellet extrusion and forming process described above. CO2 gas flows into the receiving station 42 along with the pellets and is vented out of the receiving station 42 through vent 44. Vent 44 may communicate directly with the ambient environment or may discharge the CO2 gas into other areas of the radial pellet feeder means 40. Receiving station 42 communicates with rotor cavity 46. Rotor cavity 46 is formed by housing 48 and cover 60, shown in FIG. 3. Cover 60 is secured to housing 48 by bolts (not shown). Rotor 62 is rotatably mounted in rotor cavity 46, and is provided with a plurality of transport cavities 64 in the circumferential surface 66 thereof. Rotor 62 is connected to shaft 130, which is driven by motor 150, as shown in FIG. 3. The size and shape of the transport cavities are selected to achieve the desired pellet flow to the discharge station. Considerations which influence the selection include number of transport cavities, size and speed of rotor, size of receiving and discharge stations, size and speed of helical worm screw, and transport gas pressure and velocity. Other design factors can also influence the practical design selection of the transport cavities. The transport cavities 64 are shown here to have a generally rectangular opening at circumferential surface 66 and a generally rectangular cross-section when viewed along the axis of rotation of the rotor 62. When rotor 62 is rotated to a position where one of transport cavities 64 is in alignment with receiving station 42, pellets are mechanically fed into transport cavity 64 by the rotation of the helical worm screw 132. The rotation of rotor 62 transports the pellets radially to a position which is aligned with discharge station 68. Discharge station 68 communicates directly with channel 70, which is connected to a source of pressurized transport gas 36 through inlet fitting 72. The flow of pressurized transport gas through channel 70 is continuous during operation of the apparatus and is not interrupted by the rotation of rotor 62. Air is preferably used as the pressurized transport gas. The radial transportation of the pellets creates a centrifugal force which acts on the pellets. The orientation of discharge station 68 and transport cavities 64 allows this force to assist the discharge of pellets from the transport cavities 64. The pellets are discharged into discharge station 68, and move into channel 70. The flow of the pressurized transport gas through channel 70 moves the pellets through hose 56 to discharge nozzle 58, where they are discharged from the system. The nozzle is manipulated by an operator to project the pellets against an object to be cleaned. Discharge station 68 is shown as being formed of a tubular section 74 extending from a flange section 76. A section of the wall 78 of tubular section 74 extends into channel 70 in the path of the pressurized transport gas. The section of wall 78 forms an arc of approximately 180� about the axis of tubular section 74. The section of wall 78 diverts the flow of pressurized transport gas around the partial cavity 80 which is formed at the end of discharge station 68. This diversion of the transport gas allows the pellets to travel nearly the length of tubular section 74 into channel 70 without being directly impinged upon by the transport gas. This diversion of transport gas facilitates the disbursement of the pellets into the flow path of the pressurized transport gas. One or more openings 82 are located in the section of wall 78 such that some pressurized transport gas may flow through the openings 82 and directly into the partial cavity 80. The flow through opening 82 provides some motivating force, in addition to the natural dispersion of the pellets, for moving the pellets from the partial cavity 80 into the mainstream flow of the pressurized transport gas. To assist the discharge of pellets from discharge station 68, a nozzle 84 is located in discharge station 68. Nozzle 84 is connected to a source of the high pressure transport gas and directs pressurized gas into transport cavity 64. The flow of the pressurized gas into transport cavity 64 assists in the expulsion of pellets from transport cavity 64. As contemplated, high pressure gas is supplied through an opening 86 in housing 48 which communicates with annular groove 88 located on the outside of tubular section 74. Nozzle 84 communicates directly with opening 88 and is thereby supplied the source of pressurized transport gas. Sealing rings 90 and 92 are located in O-ring grooves 94 and 96 on the outside of tubular section 74. Sealing rings 90 and 92 seal against bore 98 which is located in housing 48. As mentioned above, it is important to maintain a slight pressure within the hopper and feeder apparatus of the subject invention to prevent the possible influx of moisture into the system. This pressure, however, is preferably a relatively low pressure. Because it is preferred that air under high pressure be used to convey the radially transported pellets from the discharge station to the discharge nozzle (e.g. pressures of up to approximately 300 psig), it is imperative that the high pressures present at discharge station 68 be isolated from the much lower pressures present at receiving station 42. To ensure the isolation of such pressure differentials within pellet feeder means 40, seal 100 is located between receiving station 42 and rotor 46, and seal 102 is located between rotor 46 and discharge station 68. These seals are preferably made of materials which can maintain their flexibility and seal integrity at the relatively low temperatures contemplated herein (e.g. silicone rubber as available from various sources, impregnated with TEFLON or other dry lubricants). Seal 100 is of a complementary shape to mate with rotor 46 against a portion of the circumferential surface 66. Receiving station 42, as shown, is made of a tubular section 104 extending from a flange section 106. Seal 100 has an opening 108 which is aligned with receiving station 42. The face 110 of flange section 106 is urged against one side of seal 100 by a plurality of springs 112, which are in contact with flange section 106. The force exerted by springs 112 can be varied through adjusting the compressed height of springs 112 by rotating adjusting nuts 114. This allows the sealing force which urges seal 100 against circumferential surface 66 to be adjusted to maintain a proper seal. In a similar manner, seal 102 is formed complementary to circumferential surface 56 of rotor 46. Flange face 116 of flange section 76 contacts seal 102. Springs 118 urge flange section 76 against seal 102 thereby creating a sealing force between seal 102 and circumferential face 66 of rotor 62. This force is controlled by adjusting the compressed height of springs 118 which are supported by rotary cams 120 and 122. By rotating cams 120 and 122 the compressed height of springs 18 is varied, thereby changing the sealing force. This allows adjustment of the sealing force as necessary. The sealing capabilities of seals 100, 102 may be increased by the inclusion of circumferential ridges 160, 162 which are located on circumferential surface 66. After a breaking in period, these ridges 160, 162 form complimentary depression in seals 100, 102. The intermeshing of ridge 160, 162 with seals 100, 102 in this manner increases the ability of seals 100, 102 to seal circumferential surface 66. As a result of the exposure to the high pressure transport gas, transport cavity 64, as it rotates out of communication with discharge station 68 after having discharged the pellets, is under pressure. A vent 124 is provided in the housing 48 which communicates directly with transport cavity 64 after it has rotated out of contact with seal 102. Vent 124 is located as close to the discharge seal 102 as possible, in the direction of rotation of rotor 62, following the discharge of the pellets. A second vent 126 is located in housing 48 radially spaced about rotor cavity 46 from vent 124. Additional venting of transport cavity 64 occurs when transport cavity 64 is in communication with vent 126. Vents 124 and 126 also assist in exiting pellets which remain in transport cavity 64 after passing discharge station 68. Pellets may tend to remain in transport cavity 64 during start up of the system until the unit has cooled down. Pellets may also tend to remain in transport cavity 64 during the initial break in period of the unit, until seals 100, 102 have seated. Vents 124 and 126 are large enough for pellets to pass through them, and generally the same shape as transport cavity 64, although not necessarily the same size. A low pressure CO2 supply port 128 is located in housing 48 radially spaced from vent 126, communicating with rotor cavity 46. Supply port 128 directly communicates with transport cavity 64 at a position just prior to transport cavity 64 rotating into contact with seal 100. Supply port 128 directs low pressure CO2 gas into transport cavity 64 thereby minimizing the amount of moisture laden transport gas remaining in transport cavity 64. Supply port 128 also slightly pressurizes rotor cavity 46. This pressure creates a positive flow of CO2 gas through vents 124 and 126, thereby preventing ambient gases from entering rotor cavity 46. Seals 100 and 102 are shown haivng chambers 132, 134 oriented toward rotor 62. The chambers 132, 134 have the effect of increasing the exposure time of the transport cavity 64 to the receiving station 42 or the discharge station 68, thereby allowing more time for the filling of the transport cavity 64 with pellets, as the rotor 62 rotates at a given speed. The improved sealing capability of the seals 100, 102, is more effective at isolating the pressurized transport gas from the receiving station 42 and rotor cavity 46 than designs found in the prior art. This improvement allows the use of a pressurized transport gas which has a higher moisture content, or dew point temperature than functionally permissible by the prior art. The improved design will allow the use of transport gas with a dew point temperature of up to 50� F. FIG. 4 shows an alternative embodiment of transport cavity 64a. The shape shown is aerodynamically selected to facilitate the flow into transport cavity 64a of pressurized gas from nozzle 84a, creating an aerodynamic flow within transport cavity 64a which enhances the expulsion of the pellets from transport cavity 64a. In a second embodiment, FIG. 5 shows the use of multiple rotors 62a, 62b disposed within the same rotor cavity 46a. The rotors 62a, 62b are mounted side by side on the same shaft (not shown) and rotate in synchronization. Transport cavities 64b are located on each rotor 62a, 62b such that neither cavity is directly aligned with the receiving station (not shown) or discharge station 68a at the same time. Transport cavities 64b are staggered such that, as transport rotors 62a and 62b rotate cavities 64b past the receiving station, the total cross sectional area of the opening of transport cavities 64b exposed to the receiving station remains constant as one transport cavity rotates out of alignment with the receiving station and the following transport cavity located on the adjacent rotor rotates into alignment with the receiving station. Thus, the constant rotational speed of rotor 62a and 62b allows pellets to flow through the receiving station and into transport cavity 64b without creating backup surges in the flow of the pellets into the receiving station. This staggering of the transport cavities 64b reduces the pulsating effect found in earlier systems. As shown, both rotors 62a, 62b would discharge into the same discharge station 68a and the pellets flow from the same discharge nozzle 58. Such a system can easily be adapted to have two separate discharge stations, each adjacent separate high pressure transport gas streams, thereby allowing two, or even more, discharge streams of pellets. The system could also be adapted to have two receiving stations, each fed by its own helical worm screw. FIG. 6 shows the use of a single rotor 62b having two rows of transport cavities 64c. The transport cavities 64c are oriented in a staggered relationship as described above for the multiple rotor embodiment and discharge into the same discharge station 68b. The inclusion of two rows on a single rotor 62c allows the use of a single seal (not shown) at the receiving station (not shown) and the use of a single seal 102b at the discharge station 68b. This staggering of the transport cavities 64c also minimizes the pulsating effect found in the prior art. The foregoing description of a preferred embodiment of the invention has been presented for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed. Obvious modifications or variations are possible in light of the above teachings. The embodiment was chosen and described in order to best illustrate the principles of the invention and its practical application to thereby enable one of ordinary skill in the art to best utilize the invention in various embodiments and with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.

Broadband project expanding in Vt.September 13,2013Broadband project
expanding in Vt.
MONTPELIER Broadband Internet service is expanding in northern Orange County as part of the states long-stated goal of providing service to all Vermonters by the end of the year, the Vermont Telecommunications Authority said Thursday.
The first seven miles of the Orange County Fiber Connector project are in service and a total of more than 32 miles of the 36-mile route have been hung on utility poles.
Once all the cable has been hung and connected to digital network equipment, it will be tested and certified for commercial use. Its due to be completed this fall.
The newest Orange County route begins in Chelsea, generally following Route 113 to Thetford and then Route 132 to Sharon.
The authority compares the fiber to interstate highways with a large capacity to transmit data. Internet service providers then connect customers to the fiber network.
State officials for years have vowed to ensure that all Vermonters have access to broadband internet, but a 2010 goal was not met.

The value for the money is head and shoulders above what can be found in other areas of Buckhead and Midtown! The move-in process was smooth and comfortable overall! My wife and I were really glad that we didn't read all the negative opinions and feedback that is out there on the internet about this place until after we had signed the lease because it might have deterred us and that would have been a mistake! We definitely recommend the place! :)

Great sex does more than blow your mind—it's good for your heart, your head and your beauty.
Try these tips to help you nix a fear of the dark and get a better night's sleep:
1. Reduce any light. If you currently use a nightlight to banish the darkness, start by covering it or moving it to an outlet further away from your bed so there is less light. Do this for a few nights and then progress to turning it off and opening the door or blinds to let a little street light in. "The idea is to get used to sleeping with less and less light, until you are comfortable in complete darkness," says Dr. Neuman.
2. Talk to your doctor about temporarily using a sleep medication. Neuman says that if you're having a hard time transitioning from a lighted room to a dark one, taking a sleeping aide for one or two nights could help you get used to snoozing in the dark.
3. Keep a phone nearby. If the phobia is more about a burglar breaking in or someone (or something) hiding under the bed, keep a phone nearby and know that there are people you can call during an emergency. This will help reduce any anxiety.
Getting used to something you're afraid of is no walk in the park, but if you expose yourself to the fear a little at a time, you can overcome it, according to Neuman.
Now lights off and sweet dreams.
