Encapsulated Cadmium
Posted 14 March 2013 - 04:21 PM
Second part to the question, does anyone have knowledge of why Speedball doesn't list cadmium as a hazardous material? I contacted the chemist at Speedball and inquired which of their underglazes contained cadmium, this info is not listed on their MSDS. I was told there are 8 underglazes containing cadmium, all colours have "None" listed on the MSDS for Hazardous Ingredients. (Spectrum and Crysanthos list their underglazes containing cadmium)
Posted 16 March 2013 - 01:33 PM
Question for the chemists / glaze guru's concerning the effect of spraying underglazes, glazes or slips containing zircon encapsulated cadmium. I seem to remember reading somewhere that mechanical treatment of encapsulated stains, (spraying or ball milling) breaks down the encapsulation thus rendering the cadmium free to disperse in the glaze. Am I correct in this or is it possible to spray encapsulated cadmium materials and not have the break down? There seems to be a lot of potters spraying the new bright underglazes that contain cadmium.
Ball milling certainly is not something you should do with these inclusuion stains. That serious level of grinding of the particles will screw up the structure of the particles and likely change release factors.
I'd not heard that issue about spraying. I suppose high velocity contact betwen the material in the stream and the metal of the nozzle COULD cause some abrasion of the particles.... but logic says to me it likely is not going to be an issue because it is so minimal. But I could be WAY wrong on that one. I'd contact the suppliers directly about this question. And please post what you find out here for all of us to see.
Personally..... even using encapsulated versions... I'd never spray this cadmium bearing stuff. You are literally trusting your life to the stain manufacturer's quality control program and the quality of your local pickup ventialtion system and respirator filter and fit. Cadmium is bad stuff.
Second part to the question, does anyone have knowledge of why Speedball doesn't list cadmium as a hazardous material? I contacted the chemist at Speedball and inquired which of their underglazes contained cadmium, this info is not listed on their MSDS. I was told there are 8 underglazes containing cadmium, all colours have "None" listed on the MSDS for Hazardous Ingredients. (Spectrum and Crysanthos list their underglazes containing cadmium)
For proprietary products like glaze, slip, underglaze, overglaze, luster, and the like, MSDSs are really only a START in trying to understand "what is in there". One BIG issue is that no one is really regulating the accuracy of the MSDSs prepared by the companies. So the company iteslf puts together the form with whatever ihnformation they decide to include. I've seen some MSDSs that are clearly a joke.
I have not looked at the particular sheets in question..... but sometimes they make up the sheet for the BASE glaze/underglaze, and so on... and then the colorants are not listed on the "main" product form. Tricky way to "hide" things that they don't want to draw any attention toward.
Also some things can be "technically" listed as non-toxic ingredients.... because thay are being looked at as WET. Take SiO2..... known human carcinogen. It is in every clay body, every glaze, and so on. When it is DRY and gets airborne....... it is highly toxic. Wet....... it is not.....because it can;t get airborne. (Hence the "Certified non-toxic" labels plastered all over most wet clay boxes.)
So........ that is probably how they do that.
FYI ........ Once I had a significant health issue that my doctors decided was related to exposure to a specific art material I was using in ceramics. Commercial product with a oil based carrier. I tried to contact the supplier to get the details on what was in there. Neither my doctors nor I could get the information we needed no matter how hard we tried. It would have taken a bevy of layers and likely a court trial to get any specific answers. The MSDS used a generic term for the carrier content and they fell back on the "prioprietary secret" business.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'll contact a few suppliers and see what they say. To many potters out there using what appear to be unsafe glazes, high copper mat glazes on food surfaces etc that are unsafe so I would like to have some knowledge regarding inclusion Cd materials as I see this as being the next area of concern.
Posted 15 April 2013 - 09:53 PM
Two people from Mason replied to my question re CdSeS inclusion stains and their integrity if applied by spraying. From their emails to me: "The encapsulated stains will not break down on spraying. The stains should not be milled for more than 15 minutes, but I am assumimg that you do not mill your glazes in any case. It is safe to spray, dip or handle in any normal manner." from George Vardy who is retired from Mason now but was kind enough to answer my question.
The other email "We spray a lot of pieces here at Mason Color and the spraying does not break down the integrity of the pigment. The only way we have found to ruin the encapsulation of the pigment is to ball mill the pigment for a lengthy amount of time. As for the leaching question, we really have no information on that because a lot the leaching has to do with how the
customers are using the pigments. How they are glazed, fired, put into slips or bodies. The leaching deals more with the application.
I also feel that spraying can be as safe of a technique as any as long as it is done with the proper precautions, and like I mentioned early that is how we apply it here in our QC work and it works very well.
Thanks and I hope this helps,"
Vince Wright
Mason Color
Encapsulated, sintered, washed, it's still a material I'm not convinced I should be spraying as a zero dust situation is hard to maintain on a constant basis.

Wednesday, February 13, 2013
ROCHESTER — Jason Cole, who has been the supervisor of Rochester's dispatch center, no longer works for the city.
On Tuesday, Allen said the dispatch center is now understaffed by three dispatchers after Cole's employment ended. He said the staffing shortage is leading to more funds being dedicated to overtime hours for dispatch center staff.

"My dog loves it!"
Just got the small crate for my 4 lb. Yorkie. I thought she might need some adjustment time from her old crate, but she loved it right away. She just jumps right in when it is time to crate up. Very light weight and easy to tote from room to room. Love it!
"Great crates"
I love these crates, they are lightweight and great for travel, especially to the dog shows. Not quite as easy to fold up as to set up tho. Thanks, Ree

Justin Timberlake hasn't yet released word of a world tour like his fellow musical hot topic Beyonce, but he's got her beat in one very visual endeavor: he just unveiled the cover his new album The 20/20 Experience via Twitter. And he's taking the vision concept pretty seriously.
The piece of ophthalmic equipment, which I've just learned (thanks to the wonder of Google) is called a Phoropter, hides JT's wonderful visage, acting as an even greater tease of the contents inside. Still, the album is missing a little something. It's got the killer bowtie and the drama of an album title as hubristic as The 20/20 Experience (and an experience it had better be, Mr. Timberlake), but it all feels a little disappointing. Justified gave us a view of Timberlake straight on, staring right into our twitterpated, *NSYNC-loving souls. FutureSex/LoveSounds delivered a dangerous(ish) look at Timberlake's more mature, sexier side, placing him in stark relief against a white background. Here, he's getting his eyes checked. But damnit, if he doesn't look dapper doing it! Much like the feeling we got after listening to "Suit and Tie" (which was great, but not nearly as earth-shattering as the first time we heard "SexyBack"), we're left wondering, "Now what?"
RELATED: Beyonce vs. Justin Timberlake: Who's Got Better Music Industry Game?
Luckily, there's a bit more. Timberlake also released the track list from the album, meaning we're now free to wonder whether "Spaceship Coupe" is a new dance track or an existential spacey ballad. Is "That Girl" the followup to "Damn, Girl"? (We really loved that song in spite of ourselves.) The tantalizing titles are as follows:"Pusher Love Girl"
"Suit & Tie"
"Don't Hold the Wall"
"Strawberry Bubblegum"
"Tunnel Vision"
"Spaceship Coupe"
"That Girl"
"Let the Groove Get In"
"Blue Ocean Floor"RELATED: Justin Timberlake Enlists David Fincher For 'Suit and Tie' Video
Of course, none of those questions will be answered until JT either lets us all hungrily gobble up the album on its planned release date, March 19, or should he happen to pull a FutureSex/LoveSounds, and embark on a miniature club tour again, playing his new songs for small gatherings of rabid fans who've never heard the tracks before. Either way is fine, just do the damn thing, Justin.

This article documents how to use "chunks" when writing help screens for Joomla versions 2.5 and later. The example here is for version 2.5, but it should work for later versions as well. Note that, starting with version 3, we plan to do only one set of help screens for the entire 3.x series. So the chunk names will not have the second digit of the version.
A chuck in MediaWiki jargon is a reusable piece of content. For help screens, we use chunks for text that will appear more than once in the help screens. For example, we have a column called Category in the Article Manager, Banner Manager, Contact Manager, Newsfeed Manager, and Weblinks Manager. In each of these screens, the Category column shows the category for the item. So, instead of copying and pasting the same text into these different help screens, we create a "chunk" for this. A huge advantage of this approach is that we can edit and improve this chunk in one place and the new version will automatically show in each screen.
The syntax for including an existing chunk for version 2.5 is as follows:
{{Chunkxx:colheader|<Chunk Name>}}
For example, to use the chunk for the category column header for version 2.5, you would enter:
This will insert this chunk as shown below:
Before creating a new chunk, check to see if it already exists. You can get a complete list of the available chunks here]. You can get to this page by clicking the Special Pages link on the toolbox menu on the left side of the screen, selecting the desired Namespace (for example, "Chunk25"), and pressing the Go button.
Creating a new colheader chunk is very easy. However, please be careful to following the naming convention so that others will be able to re-use your chunks.
The steps for creating a new chunk are as follows:
The key idea for naming conventions is to be consistent in how we name chunks so we don't end up with duplicates. Here are a few guidelines:

How does that old jingle go? If you dare wear short-shorts… Well, we can't help you with the rest of it, but we definitely have to-die-for shorts that make your legs look longer, thinner and sexier. We're not talking about mid-thigh shorts here, either. We're talking about the real deal: short shorts like the ones you'd expect to see at a beach party thrown by Hollywood's hottest stars.
At GoJane, we have a huge collection of the hottest shorts, and we have them at extremely affordable prices. You can stock up for your entire summer, even if you're on a budget. Our selection includes tons of gorgeous styles and colors in a wide range of sizes, so there's something for everyone.
Our denim-cuffed shorts are perfect for women who like the look of short shorts but could do without ragged, frayed cutoffs. We also have regular denim shorts with sewn-in seams (we just call those Basic Level and Keep it Simple denim shorts). They look awesome with the right bootie heels or sandals if you're going for a conservative-but-sexy look. If you dig the frays, that's great, too; we have a large selection of destroyed, vintage and shredded cutoffs in several shades. Put on a pair of high-heeled sandals or peep-toe wedges and you're ready for just about anything.
If your fashion sense goes beyond the borders of denim, you'll love our print shorts, our mesh shorts and our faux leather shorts. We even have mesh-side shorts, faux leather and acid-washed shortalls, and V-front shorts that, when paired with simple tops, make excellent everyday outfits. No matter what look you're aiming for, you're going to hit the mark when you shop at GoJane.

Thread: Cover Art and Computer Graphics
May 20th, 2005, 09:51 AM #61
One analogy for the 3D art that I've heard is to liken it to photography. If someone makes "art" photographs, say with a (human) model in a fancy dress and holding a sword, the photographer still owns the copyright to the resulting photograph, even though he didn't make the model's clothes or the sword (or the model!). Generally, unless the human model is well known, even her name remains unknown to anyone viewing the photograph. The photographer probably paid her a modeling fee and obtained a release form, which is analogous to the fee paid for a 3D model and the "readme" file that comes with it outlining its terms of use.
Some artists really embrace the 3D realm, considering it just another tool with which to express themselves. For the non-artist who is comfortable with the technology, it can really unleash creativity, since it removes the learning curve for other media like paint or pencil; it makes dealing with (and learning about) perspective on a 2D surface much easier, since you can move "real" objects around in real time; and it makes experimentation much easier. ("Don't like that pose? OK, how about I move this hand behind the back, and tighten the grip on the sceptre, and oh let's make it green instead of blue...") And all done with just a few mouse clicks.

I've created a few new images; rather than post them all here, I've attached some thumbnails. If they look intriguing, you can pop over to my site under the Artwork button, and see them at a larger size.

You've been busy, haven't you? There's a lot of good images there. KatG, aren't the copyright issues rather similar to the ones raised by sampling? Perhaps less pressing, since Kevin knows the terms of use, and doesn't seem to be infringing any moral rights (do you have moral rights in the US? I have a feeling you don't...)
May 21st, 2005, 10:46 PM #64Originally Posted by alison
Anyway... I don't think this is related to sampling, which is generally taking portions of somebody else's music and incorporating it into something new. In that case, the original music was not intended to be "sampled", so unless the original artist gave permission to do it, I would think that he or she might take exception to its use in a new work (as might the music publisher, should one be involved).
In the case of these 3D models, the creators are creating them with the intention that they be used by others in works of art; that's their whole reason for making them. The model files themselves have no artistic "function" unless they are rendered into something. Now, if I create a new model myself, unless I post the model file itself somewhere on the web, nobody can use it anyway. If I do post the model, as with anything else you put up there my protections are only as good as the copyright laws allow (which is to say, somewhat reasonable here in the U.S., perhaps a little lax in some other countries). If I sell it, generally the terms of use from most of the major sites that host people selling models (Renderosity, Poser Pros, 3D Commune, to name a few), stipulate that purchase of the models permits their use in any rendered artwork, but that you cannot sell or redistribute the 3D model file itself (generally known as a "mesh" in 3D lingo).
One of the things I'm going to do in a couple of days is post a few pictures showing the process I use to put these images together, since people might find it interesting. I'll show the various model bits and how I alter and combine them together to come up with an image.
Oh - and thank you! I'm glad that you like the images I've already done!
May 22nd, 2005, 12:52 PM #65
I think it's seen as artists making tools for other artists, which are paid for -- the paint analogy, because the models are essentially software programs. But there is a real piracy issue as well, since unscrupulous people can redistribute or sell models that are not their own illegally, just like software programs. And more traditional artists may get their images on the web and have those downloaded, stolen and turned into models. And there may be some point, if artists are making a lot of money on a poster or something, where the model suppliers are going to demand some extra money. It's the kind of thing that has to work itself out on the web and hopefully will stabilize into standard practices. The graphic arts community has been using the web longer than anyone, so they'll probably work it out pretty fairly and on a global basis.

Okay, now you're starting to get a little juvenile on us. And enough giant moons in the background!
But this really does show the possible range, doesn't it? I've recently noticed that the cover art for sf/f books has gotten a lot more varied in terms of design. There's a lot of mainstreaming -- text in bright colors, no artwork, minimal graphics -- going on; a lot of chick lit styles -- drawn figurines, minimal artwork, pastels and neon pastels; some surreal, moody, noir stuff -- blurred photos, shadow figures; mystery style -- props like script fragments, candlesticks, clocks mushed artistically together with odd lighting; and still a lot of the traditional sf/f art but in a variety of styles, sizes, positioning, color choice. It's good, I think, but publishers could go much further and really run with genre fans' comfortableness with cover art to try a lot of new stuff. And they can go retro too, with the buxom beauties in bikinis with the dragons, but give it that anime style or some other fillip.

I thought it might be fun to show the steps involved in creating one of these images that I've been doing. All this talk of 3D models and meshes and morphs otherwise can be a tad confusing. Im going to illustrate how I created the Rogue White image, which is the left-most of the three thumbnails I posted a few messages back.
First thing to do is select a figure to work with. This one is Stephanie Petite 3, from DAZ3D (Ive blanked out the private bits for propriety; all these models are anatomically correct). The figures are very complex 3D models, with internal joint structures that mimic the human body, allowing you to pose them realistically. They also are deformable, so that you can make them skinny or fat, with large noses or small, Vulcan ears, whatever. Finally, you can texture them with different skin colors.
As you can see, the default model is not terribly good looking. So the first thing I want to do is select some character morphs and textures. A morph is something that changes the structure of the model to something else. In this case, Ive chosen the Irina morph created by Blackhearted. It alters the base Stephanie model into one with a lot more muscle tone. Its a little hard to see the change here, at this size and with no texture yet, but our Stephanie has now become quite buff.
Lets add the Irina texture. Ah, thats better. Now she looks like a person, and you can see the muscles a bit better.
(Hang on, more coming; I have to submit them in batches...)
May 23rd, 2005, 11:55 PM #73
Next step is the face. The Irina character comes with both head and body morphs, but I dont care for the head morph so much. So now Im adding to it another morph, this one just a head morph called Morgana by Thorne and Sarsa. At this point I can also change things: the eye color, the lip color, and change the makeup as well.
Shes a bit bald at this point, so lets add some hair. This is also a model, with its own set of controls for moving and layering the hair. This one is call Leah, by DAZ3D. The default appearance has the right side hanging down in front of her face, but I moved it back (how does anybody see where theyre going with their hair in front of their eyes like that?)
Im also going to make a subtle change to her expression now. I have full control over her face: eyebrows, cheeks, mouth, etc. In this case Ive just tweaked her mouth to give a half-smile on the right side, just to give her a slightly confident look.
May 23rd, 2005, 11:58 PM #74
Shes been standing here very patiently, getting cold, while I mess around. Lets give her some clothes. These are the parts of the Rogue Red outfit by Frances Coffill. Each of these is also a model, designed to conform to the base Stephanie figure. By conforming, it means that the clothes will move with Stephanie when shes posed.
Here are the clothes attached to the figure. Since the clothes are designed for the base figure, if you modify the figure (as I did with the Irina morph) you may have to adjust things. Since Irina has some pretty big muscles (and a slightly larger chest), all of those body parts poke through the clothing models. One way to adjust that is to turn off those body parts that will be hidden by the clothes anyway, which is what I did here. You can also adjust the clothes themselves, which frequently have their own adjustments like muscular or voluptuous to fit different body shapes.
Next I wanted to change the textures of the clothes. Frances Coffill had created a set of several additional textures for the outfit, and it was this white one that prompted me to want to do this picture. Ive applied the revised texture to each clothing bit here. The clothing set also comes with its own sword prop, which Ive included. Note that there were no pants with the clothing set what Frances did was provide a texture that actually changed the color of Stephanies legs to look like leggings.
May 23rd, 2005, 11:59 PM #75
Now, about that sword. Its been parented to her right hand, which means that when shes posed the sword will stay with her hand. But at the moment its just floating beneath her fingers. Get a grip, girl!
Each of the fingers has all of the joints of a real hand, so you can manipulate them to do whatever you want. Posing each finger manually can be tedious, but fortunately I have a set of canned hand poses for all occasions. Here Ive used a 10% torus grip, and then adjusted the angle of the sword to match the grip.
Time for some action. Typically I run through a number of pre-defined poses, looking for something interesting. I settled on this last one, which originally had her right arm pointing down. I bent her arm to bring the sword up to over her shoulder. This pose gave the air of confidence that I was looking for.

Excellent news, the poettering madness must be stopped.
The only sad part I can see is how people talks about how only the *masked* version of udev is without support for *unmounted* /usr. That only clearly shows how little those people tend to use their MTP-devices and or udisks wth LVM/MDRAID and or alike.... I know I had troubles with udev not handling separate /usr since long before that page was written, and too bad it was written by lennard over at the systemd-freedesktop-page, because that only make the we-hate-lennart-camp mis the point of this whole trouble:
udev has been broken with a *unmounted* /usr for many years. And noone has had the time/will to fix it. And this was long before systemd even existed.
Now, I do not say that it is a bad thing this fork, because there are *many* other things to be desired from udev, which systemd does not seem interested in (that is why Linus really called the crazy).
So Richard, Good luck! And maybe someday we have something that we even can have a such a minimalistic version of that it even fits genkernel without bloating, because I really would like killing a lot of our code (staring at dolvm/domdraid) in favor of having something handling on demand, something last time I checked mdev did not.
Greg stopped.
Kay is willing on the terms it goes to systemd.
The Gentoo crowd can only do forks which is so much easier because they can merge from systemd.
I guess that is too complicated to understand when your neckbeard is growing so large it stops blood coming to your head. It is so sad to see clear evidence of lack of manpower results in waste of man power. The only fun part we get is to watch a bunch of neckbeards go crazy on a yellow journalism forum.
And since Kay and Lennart was so kind to tightly integrate udev into systemd, and talk about how they will allow but not *support* an out-of-systemd usage of udev the question is if we really can separate the two as different projects anymore?

David, so basically by not having enough battery juice to my amps it can actually cause them to overheat easier? I went to west marine today and one of the employees there suggested blower motor fans due to the large amount of air they can move to help keep things cool. This winter I plan to go to two optima blue tops for the stereo power and prosport 20 to keep them charged but dont have the funds currently. Never really had this problem till this weekend. My harpoon cut off once before but I think we were pounding it pretty hard that day. We were at canyon lake a few weeks ago and I'm not sure how hot it was, probably upper 90s and we jammed in party cove and never had an issue. I know it was like 99-102 this last Sunday and the water we were in was considerably warmer than canyon lakes water. Maybe that can also have an effect

Yes, low voltage will compound thermal issues. It appears that you are running the Harpoon at 2-ohms so I suspect low voltage as a contributing factor. At 1.33 ohms on a 'hybrid' I would be far more concerned about thermal issues, particularly in the South.
A blower fan? Do you realize how noisy those fans are. Not a good option.
After the amp shuts down and has just enough time to recover, measure the voltage at the primary supply terminals of the amplifier with a digital multimeter as it repeats a shutdown. This way you will know for sure if low voltage is a major contributor. No use in chasing the wrong prognosis.
There are two parts to effective fan cooling. First, elevate the amplifier with standoffs and use a fan shroud in conjunction with a fan. Circulating the air around the fan rather than across the maximum heatsink surface area is a waste of a good fan. Second, exchanging the port locker air with the outside which may be 35 to 40 degrees cooler. This requires an exhaust fan and vent in the exterior locker. You can place a second and intake vent in the floor hump right next to the bilge hose and take advantage of the built-in provisions.
The right fans will be whisper quiet.

Why Not? Play Hard! Get wet
Just get with your supplier and give them the serial number from your amplifier. They can tell you whether its an issue on your particular model or not.
In any case if that amplifier is shutting down in an application where it shouldn't I would send it in after the season for a full check up.
The JL Audio HD amplifiers run full diagnostics within the first second or two after turn-on and adjust the rail voltage of the front and rear channels independently based on the respective impedance load. You won't find a more sophisticated amplifier. So if its shutting down it would take a low voltage threshold, whether on the remote turn on circuit or on the supply, or a damaged speaker voice coil that is changing its value after heating up. Thermal is unlikely since it accounts for an inordinate load in its initial power up process. And that takes me back to a factory set threshold that may need to be checked and revised. JL Audio did send out a memo on the turn on threshold for an HD model. No guarantees but it seems like a possible fit.

No joke. Building a bladder into an amplifier shroud would not be terribly difficult. Its been done many times before. But again, you are still generating too much heat at the core if you need to go to that extreme and it will eventually take a toll on the amplifier.
You can purposely design a system from the beginning that will absolutely NOT thermal anywhere in North America.

Gallery: Probiomed is a High-Tech & Eco Friendly Medical Research Cente...
Located in the small town of Tenancingo in the State of Mexico (about 150 kilometers southwest of Mexico City), Probiomed is a medical research and production facility that produces biomedical products, like vaccines and pharmaceuticals. The company works to source their raw materials from within Mexico and produce enough product to meet the demand of their own country before exporting the surplus. Grupo de Diseno Urbano, a Mexico City-based firm, was in charge of the design for the entire facility, including the master plan, the architecture of the buildings and the landscape architecture.
The first component completed in the campus was the actual plant to produce the biomedical products, and since that was built they have also completed the corporate dining hall for employees and executives. Located on top of a slope in an old avocado orchard, the dining hall is situated to capture natural daylight with the roof sloped up to the north to take in the view of the mountains and protect from the southern sun. This sloping roof allows for the collection of rainwater, which is then sent to an adjacent cistern. This aquatic landscape creates a cool microclimate for employees to enjoy and relax in. Additionally, cross ventilation strategies and operable windows allow for natural, low-energy cooling.

Really good audiobooks?
I love me a good fantasy / horror audiobook - especially when the narrator is really good. I'm just finishing up ghost story Dresden files and really liked the actor/reader (even though this last one wasn't read by marsters, what a letdown!).
What are some good audiobook series? Just about done with ghost story so ill need something soon!
Books I've already listened to:
Wheel of time series
Game of thrones series
Dresden files
Mist born series (pretty much anything by Brandon Sanderson for that matter)
Sword of truth series (didn't really like).
Ill add more here if I can think of any.

I just started Theft of Swords and I am very pleased so far.
October 3rd, 2012, 09:51 AM #3
I came here to recommend Dresden... should have known that the OP had already listened to it...but was a very nice surprise to see my own book being recommended - so thanks for making my day.

I must tell you I wish I would have picked up your work sooner. Besides the fact that I am very picky, I have been wary of books that are self published and have great ratings due to an article I read about fake or purchased reviews. You sir, however, are the real deal. You have some serious writing chops and it shows. I'm very excited that this is just the first of the series and I have more to come after I am finished! You have made another new fan! Congratulations on your success!

I have the abridged audiobook of "The Passage" by Justin Cronin and I enjoyed that.
Although YA, the Harry Potters are done wonderfully by Jim Dale.
I'm at work so I don't really remember the others that fit into your genre realms.

There are actually a lot of good books coming out from self-published authors these days. I did a list for Ranting Dragon you might want to check out some of those.
My reviews are all "legit" - I'd never buy a review, nor to a participate in "review trading" which is just asking for trouble ;-) I'm not sure how "wide spread" the problem is - I guess I expect the best in people so I think it is probably a case of a few bad apples spoiling the rest.
In any case, I'm glad you are enjoying it now...six books in the first series and another two that in a second (coming in August 2013). I do hope you enjoy reading/listening as much as I enjoyed writing.

In addition to the audio books you mentioned I would recommend the following:
Joe Abercrombie's First Law series has been a favorite of mine. Abercrombie's Best Served Cold is very well read also.
The Lies of Locke Lamora was excellent as an Audio Book.
One other that I will add here is a little different. I had read Robert McCammon's "Swan Song" many moons ago and decided to listen to it on Audio. I enjoyed it so much that I asked the wise folks here about what other good works of McCammon they would recommend. This led me to some fun books, but also an outstanding audio experience. Eduardo Ballarini (sp?) reads the Matthew Corbett series that started with "Sings the Night Bird" and I am now listening to "The Queen of Bedlam", the second in the series. The reading performance by Ballarini rivals the works of Roy Dotrice (ASoIaF) and Jim Dale (Harry Potter). A good reader makes all the difference!

The tone of the narrator can definitely make or break an audiobook. I assumed that Weeks had wanted his characters to come across in this manner. I actually preferred Gavin when he was portrayed as kind of aloof and condescending. (I thought it was comparable to some of the characters from Warbreaker) After starting book two, it has been rather hard to get myself into it. Every character I thought I had come to know has returned as some sort of distorted version of itself.
I guess what I'm getting at is how much control does an author have over the audiobook performance? Did you get a say Michael?
I would also think that the more exposure you get as an author the more say you might have... And if that is the case, I wonder why Weeks would allow this to happen.
October 4th, 2012, 12:00 PM #14
If I were to guess I think they changed the narrator for that particular series because there were so many negative reviews of the person selected for the first version, but that is just a guess on my part. It could have been the other voice actor wasn't available or something like that as well.
October 4th, 2012, 12:04 PM #15
I will second the Twinner's recommendations. All of Joe Abercrombie's books are great in audio form. I also found The Lies of Locke Lamora to be an excellent performance that held my attention more than physical book.

SQL Server 2014 delivers mission-critical performance across all workloads with in-memory technologies built in, faster insights from any data with familiar tools like Excel, and a platform for hybrid cloud that enables organizations to easily build, deploy, and manage solutions that span on-premises and cloud.
SQL Server 2014 has three main editions that are closely aligned with how customers use SQL Server across workloads. SQL Server 2014 delivers licensing that enables you to more easily take advantage of the benefits of public and private cloud through virtualization and license mobility. Our new model provides simplified licensing, flexibility and innovation, and industry-leading total cost of ownership (TCO ).
SQL Server 2014 offers two licensing models: one that is based on computing power, and one that is based on users or devices.
Cloud-optimized licensing gives you the ability to license a single virtual machine (VM) or to license a server for maximum virtualization, as well as the flexibility to move your VMs from server to server, to hosters or the cloud.
SQL 2014 continues to provide outstanding value at any scale among all major vendors. SQL Server 2014 offers compelling product features and capabilities within three main editions, with no costly add-ons required to run your mission critical and business intelligence applications.
SQL Server will be available in three main editions, which are aligned with how customers deploy database solutions.
Enterprise Edition delivers enterprise-class mission-critical and tier-1 database . With in-memory technologies built in across workloads, it accelerates performance for transaction processing, data warehousing, and business intelligence. Enterprise Edition is available through core-based licensing.
Business Intelligence Edition delivers a comprehensive platform that empowers organizations of all sizes to build and deploy security-enhanced, scalable, and manageable business intelligence solutions. It enables large-scale self-service reporting and analytics. This edition is licensed in the Server + CAL model, so you can quickly scale out business intelligence solutions across servers as your business grows.
SQL Server 2014 Standard is a complete data platform for departments and small organizations. It provides core data management functionality, limited business intelligence for operational reporting and functional data marts, and built-in developer tools. Standard Edition can be licensed in either the core-based licensing model or the Server + CAL licensing model.
With the release of SQL Server 2014, the option for licensing for computing power will be core-based.
Enterprise and Standard are available under core-based licensing. Cored-based licenses will be sold in two-core packs. The Standard Edition is also available under the Server+ CAL licensing model.
To license a physical server, you must license all the cores in the server. A minimum of four core licenses are required for each physical processor in the server.
The Business Intelligence and Standard Editions are available under the Server + Client Access License (CAL) model.
This licensing model can be used any time the number of users can be readily counted (for example, internal database applications).
To access a licensed SQL Server in the Server + CAL model, each user must have a SQL Server CAL that is the same version or newer (for example, to access a SQL Server 2008 server, a user would need a SQL Server 2008 CAL or a SQL Server 2014 CAL).
Each SQL Server 2014 CAL can provide access to multiple licensed SQL Servers, including the new SQL Server 2014 Business Intelligence Server as well as prior versions of the Enterprise Edition Servers.
With databases that use just a fraction of the compute power of a physical server, you can save by licensing individual database virtual machines (VMs).
To license a VM with core-based licenses, simply pay for the virtual cores allocated within the virtual machine (minimum of four core licenses per VM).
To license a VM under the Server + CAL model (for the Business Intelligence and Standard Editions of SQL Server 2014), you can buy the server license and buy associated SQL Server CALs for each user.
Each licensed VM that is covered with Software Assurance can be moved frequently within your server farm, or to a third-party hoster or cloud services provider.
Servers fully licensed with Enterprise Edition core licenses with Software Assurance allow you to deploy an unlimited number of database VMs on the server (or server farm) in a heavily consolidated virtualized deployment to achieve further savings.
Contact your local Reseller for more information and for assistance with purchasing.
Q: What is new in SQL Server 2014?
A: SQL Server 2014 will provide mission-critical performance, with in-memory built in across all workloads with greater scale and availability, all backed by enterprise-grade mission-critical support. It offers a complete business intelligence solution that delivers faster insights from any data, big and small, using familiar tools like Excel in Office and Office 365, with access to business insights on mobile devices. Plus, SQL Server 2014 will enable new hybrid cloud solutions, with an easy onramp and a complete and consistent data platform from on-premises to cloud.
Q: What product editions will be offered with SQL Server 2014?
A: There will be three main editions: Enterprise, Business Intelligence, and Standard.
Enterprise for mission critical applications and data warehousing
Business Intelligence for premium corporate and self-service business intelligence capabilities
Standard for core database capabilities, reporting, and analytics
Q: What other editions will be available with SQL Server 2014?
A: Enterprise, Business Intelligence, and Standard will be the main editions. The Web Edition will be offered only to hosters through the Services Provider License Agreement (SPLA). Developer and Express editions will also continue to be distributed without changes in licensing or pricing. We also offer the new Analytics Platform System appliance which includes SQL Server Parallel Data Warehouse as a component.
Q: What are the key licensing changes with SQL Server 2014?
A: There are two licensing updates for SQL Server 2014 that are applicable to high-availability and business intelligence scenarios.
For new SQL Server 2014 licenses, a passive secondary instance is permitted only on a license covered by Software Assurance.
SQL Server 2014 Business Intelligence comes with relaxed multiplexing rules for "pooled" data sources. The CAL requirement is waived for those data sources.
Q: When will these changes take effect?
A: The CAL waiver for SQL Server Business Intelligence applies immediately to both the 2014 and 2012 versions. Other licensing changes will take effect when SQL Server 2014 is generally available. If you have licenses for prior versions with active Software Assurance, refer to the Product List for additional information.
Q: What virtualization or cloud-related licensing benefits are available with SQL Server 2014?
A: SQL Server 2014 will provide a variety of virtualization and cloud benefits that will help you save money on database licensing and retain flexibility in your database deployments. With SQL Server 2014, you can:
License individual virtual machines (VM), and when licensing per core, buy core licenses only for the virtual cores assigned to the VM.
License for high VM density by buying Enterprise Edition core licenses and Software Assurance for all the physical cores on the server (or server farm) and deploying an unlimited number of VMs on the licensed hardware. Without Software Assurance , VM density is limited to one VM per Enterprise Edition core license.
License for VM mobility across private and public clouds. VM license mobility is a Software Assurance benefit. Without Software Assurance, licenses can be moved from one server to another only once every 90 days.
Q: How can I buy core-based licensing for the Business Intelligence Edition?
A: Enterprise Edition includes the full capabilities of SQL Server 2014, so if you want to license a Business Intelligence Server on a per core basis, you can do so by buying Enterprise Edition. Enterprise Edition will be the preferred way to license advanced SQL Server Business Intelligence capabilities when users are uncountable (for example, external-facing workloads) or when the number of users is very high.
Q: Can I use the same CAL for the Business Intelligence and Standard editions?
A: Yes. With SQL Server 2014, a single CAL provides access to all the server editions.
Q: I have Software Assurance. Do I have to pay more to upgrade to SQL Server 2014?
A: No. All licenses under Software Assurance will be able to upgrade to SQL Server 2014 at no additional cost.
Q: How do I migrate from processor licenses to core licenses? What is the migration path?
A: Licenses purchased with Software Assurance will upgrade to SQL Server 2014 at no additional cost. If you are an Enterprise Agreement/Enrollment for Application Platform customer, you can continue buying processor licenses until your next renewal (after general availability of SQL Server 2012 ). At that time, processor licenses will be exchanged for core-based licenses sufficient to cover the cores in use by processor-licensed databases (minimum of four core licenses per processor for Standard and Enterprise editions, and minimum of eight Enterprise Edition core licenses per processor for Datacenter) . Please refer to the Product List for further migration path details.
Q: How will SQL Server processor licenses with Software Assurance be exchanged for SQL Server 2014 core licenses? How will I (and Microsoft) determine the number of cores that I am owed?
A: You can perform a "self-inventory" of your environment at the end of the Software Assurance term that will provide the basis for the core licenses you will own and for which you are eligible to renew Software Assurance. We will provide access to the Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit as one way to help track and document deployments. This tool can help you plan the transition from processor-based licenses to core-based licenses by counting both processors and cores across your deployments. If you are not able to document your SQL Server deployments, we will exchange processors based on a standard conversion ratio. We encourage you to work with your Microsoft or Partner representative to determine an optimal transition plan.
Q: Can I purchase new SQL Server Enterprise Edition in the server + CAL model?
A: No. Enterprise Edition is no longer available in the Server + CAL model for SQL Server 2014.
Q: Can existing SQL Server Enterprise Edition Server + CAL licenses be upgraded to SQL Server 2014?
A: Yes. All existing licenses of the Enterprise Edition in the Server + CAL licensing model with Software Assurance can be upgraded to SQL Server 2014, and Software Assurance can be maintained to provide access to future software updates. These licenses will continue under the Server + CAL licensing model.
Q: How does the 20 Core Server limit work for SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Server?
A: Existing Enterprise Edition licenses in the Server + CAL licensing model that are upgraded to SQL Server 2014 and beyond will be limited to server deployments with 20 or fewer cores. This 20-core limit applies only to SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition Server licenses in the Server + CAL model and will still require the appropriate number/versions of SQL Server CALs for access.

"I don't want to get in a debate as far as stats that he has and things like that," Peterson told KMVP-FM. "Obviously, his job is definitely much easier than mine. But if you look at their scheme and at our scheme, he's a Cover 3 corner. Period.
"A lot of guys say he's a shutdown corner. But if you look at film and guys who understand the game, go back and look at film and see how his defense is. I believe that if you put him in our system, I don't believe he'll be able to last, honestly. Because I actually do much more than he is (doing)."
Based on interceptions during the past three seasons, Sherman has a decided advantage with 20 compared with Peterson's 12. Peterson contends that Seattle's defensive schemes put Sherman in position for more picks.
"I guess that's what the fans -- and everything like that -- they see he's got tons and tons of interceptions," Peterson said. "And that's all fine and dandy, but he's only covering space. He's not really covering a guy.
"So at the end of the day, he has great stats. He has great playmaking ability -- not taking that away from him, because he is a good corner. But as far as being a shutdown corner, man-to-man guy, in my eyes, I don't believe he's that."
Petersen, a two-time All-Pro as a cornerback and punt returner, believes he is worth more than the $57.4 million extension, including $40 million guaranteed, that Sherman signed on May 12, making him the league's highest-paid defensive back. In terms of tackles, Peterson has the advantage with 151 solos to Sherman's 138.
Sherman responded later in the day on Twitter: "@PFF_Pete this kid gave up as many Tds this year as I have in my career. He wouldn't last in our system bcuz he gives up too many Tds"

J.J. Abrams' 2009 reboot of Star Trek managed to wow both Trekkers (don't call them Trekkies!) and those who couldn't tell the difference between a Kirk or a Picard. The ignited fandom turned the movie into a major box office success, and now all eyes are on the film's followup, Star Trek Into Darkness.
Unsatisfied with playing host to just a highly anticipated blockbuster, Paramount has opted to kick Star Trek 2 into warp speed and send it straight to "event film" territory. In a press release, the studio announced that the first nine minutes of Abrams' sci-fi adventure would play in IMAX 3D starting Dec. 14, before screenings of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
Abrams shot portions of the sequel with IMAX cameras, allowing the film to take full advantage of the big screen format, unlike many of the converted films seen throughout the year. Star Trek Into Darkness follows in the tracks of other films with sequences shot natively in IMAX, including 2010's Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol and The Dark Knight Rises. Promoting the IMAX brand helped both films find bigger success than they might have in simply riding their established franchise's — Ghost Protocol hooked audiences by opening a week earlier in IMAX, leading to a gross of $694 million worldwide, while Chistopher Nolan's Dark Knight Rises previewed IMAX before Ghost Protocol (sparking interest and earning it over $1 billion worldwide). Star Trek Into Darkness hopes to capture that same early momentum.
Stark Trek Into Darkness reunites most of the original cast, including Chris Pine, Zoe Saldana, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, and John Cho, and adds Benedict Cumberbatch as the still mysterious adversary of the U.S.S. Enterprise crew. The film soars into theaters May 17, 2013.

I like this thread...i cos a lot of stuff...other stuff not so much.
falling asleep while listening to my ipod
being able to scratch all the spots on my back
cutting my toe nails
taking boots/socks off after snowboarding
waking up at 3am to piss on a school day, only to realize you get 4 more hours of sleep
smell of fresh cut grass on a summer day
I definitely appreciate both the little things and finer things in life... but to list it all out would take too long...

Lebanon Fire Department gets federal grant

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Angus King, I-Maine, today announced that the Department of Homeland Security has awarded $62,700 in grant funding to the Lebanon Fire Department through the "Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program," or FIRE Act."The Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program is an extremely critical source of funds for our fire and rescue personnel," said Collins and King in a joint statement. "This federal funding helps local first responders, like the Lebanon Fire Department, purchase new, used, or refurbished vehicles, and obtain equipment for firefighting, interoperable communications, chemical detection, and other purposes that are essential to helping keep our communities safe."

Looking for information.......
Recently lost out on bid for fire chiefs job....Have been Deputy Chief for past 13 years and acting chief for past six months in which time I turned around a huge budget deficit without having to cut out any staffing or services ( previous chief was a very poor budget manager) The person I lost out to was the previous chiefs' son who was a Lt. for the past 5 years ( appointed by his father , no management experience). The
x chief is good friends with several selectmen and has spent the past six months working to get his son the chiefs job .The selectboard did a real dog and pony show to make it look good.. The selectmen that appointed him stated it was because they liked his idea of forming duty groups to respond to fire calls ( we are a paid/ call dept.) this will save money. The adjustments I made in the past six months have already saved a significant amount of money without putting anyone in danger by cutting our response .
If anyone has any information of similar cases where this has happened and was challenged in court I would be interested in this information .
Thanks.. dchydesr @aol
I am real sorry to hear the bad news. But I can only see more negative results from court action.
