Why 3D Printing Could Be A Manufacturing And Logistics Game ChangerJanuary 21, 2014 9:56 am | by Danielle M., Blogger & Business Student
Could 3D printing revolutionize the production industry to the same extent as Ford's assembly line? When Michelangelo was asked how he sculpted the famous David statue, he's reported to have simply replied, "I just chipped away everything that didn't look like David." Three-dimensional printing takes the opposite approach.

When you consider some of the challenges that manufacturers face across industries today — they're unprecedented.

With 90 percent of the world's data created in the last two years, what can we expect our data vaults to hold two or even twenty years from now?

Is Chrysler An 'American' Automaker Any More?January 10, 2014 8:53 am | by Joel Hans, Managing Editor, Manufacturing.net
Chrysler has technically been "foreign-owned" since July 2011, but the recent deal makes it all the more real: Chrysler might be an American-headquartered company, but it's also a fully-owned subsidiary of an Italian company. That's an important distinction, one that means Chrysler simply isn't in the same playing field as Ford and GM, no matter each of their origins.

Shutting The Door On ShodanJanuary 8, 2014 8:36 am | by Alan Grau, Icon Labs
It is easy to look at Shodan as the problem — it provides easy access to the devices connected to the Internet. In reality, however, Shodan simply highlights the security vulnerabilities of many of the devices that comprise the Internet of Things (IoT). The real problem is not that Shodan finds insecure devices, but that so many devices lack real security.
What Aren't Manufacturers And Customers Telling Each Other?January 7, 2014 9:20 am | by Joel Hans, Managing Editor, Manfuacturing.net
A few months back, UL released its Product Mindset survey, which takes a dramatically different look at the relationship between manufacturers and consumers. Many manufacturers are aware that they need to continuously develop, produce, and sell products that consumers want, but there seems to be a large disconnect between what manufacturers perceive as consumer demand, and what the case actually is.
Domestic Minerals Production Could Boost ManufacturingJanuary 7, 2014 9:14 am | by Hal Quinn, CEO, National Mining Association (NMA)
After decades of outsourcing, the resurgence in domestic manufacturing is now America's favorite comeback story. But one troubling trend could signal a major complication for returning manufacturers: our nation's increasing reliance on unstable supply chains of imported minerals.
Finding And Keeping A Next-Gen WorkforceJanuary 6, 2014 9:06 am | by Joel Hans, Managing Editor, Manfuacturing.net
Everyone in the manufacturing space has heard about the dramatic talent gap in the industry, where companies cannot find employees with the skills necessary to help run a high-tech operation. Knowledge in automation equipment, or with CNC machines, can be a rare commodity, with most young people moving toward other industries, and manufacturing-centric education faltering or disappearing elsewhere.

Spokane Elder Law Attorney
Lynn St. Louis, Attorney
Welcome to Lynn St. Louis Law Office PLLC, your Spokane Elder Law Attorney. At Lynn St. Louis Law Office PLLC, SpokaneElderLaw.com, we help families preserve assets for their loved ones' care. We will answer your questions about the best Elder Law options for you and your loved ones in the Spokane and surrounding communities, including Idaho. Our practice is limited to Elder Law and Estate Planning, taking a personalized approach to your legal needs – with skill and compassion.
Elder Law encompasses Long-Term Care planning, as well as fundamental Estate Planning documents, such as Wills, Durable Powers of Attorney, Health Care Directives, Trusts, and Probates or Probate Alternatives. Unlike traditional Estate Planning, Elder Law also includes Long-Term Care and disability planning, incorporating asset protection, and utilizing available government benefit programs.
The Long-Term Care needs of you or your loved one present complex legal and social issues. The key to success is having an appropriate care plan in place, and an Elder Law plan to support it. Most people prefer to remain at home if possible. With proper planning we help you achieve your goals, resulting in the highest possible quality of life.
Costs of care in any setting can be enormous. We help you understand what government benefit programs may be available to you to help pay for long-term care, such as Medicaid or Veterans Affairs. Surprisingly, Medicaid may allow retention of substantial resources by a spouse or family member. The rules for these programs are complicated and change frequently, so it is critical to consult with Lynn St. Louis, your experienced Spokane Elder Law attorney.

Latest update : 2012-02-16
A year after revolution, tensions rising in Bahrain
Tensions mounting in Bahrain, one year on from the start of the popular uprising. Online campaigning for the release of US soldier Bradley Manning. And a purple squirrel has captured the attention of American web users.
A year after revolution, tensions rising in Bahrain
The 14th of February was to be the "day of return" for opposition activists in Bahrain. Protesters attempted to return to Pearl Square to mark the first anniversary of the popular uprising which saw Shiite activists take to the streets to protest the rule of the Sunni royal family. As we can see in this amateur video footage, over the past few days hordes of protesters have marched towards this symbolic area in Manama that served as the epicenter of weeks of demonstrations last year.
But security forces have been deployed en masse to the capital to prevent them from doing so, firing tear gas to disperse crowds. The Interior Ministry has issued a statement, with photos to boot, claiming the police were just taking the necessary precautions to control the rally, saying it was no longer a peaceful demonstration.
Over the past few days security forces have arrested a number of activists, including Zainab al-Khawaja, better known under her pseudonym 'Angry Arabiya'. A blogger, and also the daughter of a prominent human rights activist currently in prison, she was arrested on Sunday as she marched towards Pearl Square with a small group of protesters.
Another leading opposition figure, Nabeel Rajab, was with his family when he tried to enter Pearl Square. He explains in this video that his aim was to mobilize all levels of Bahraini society. When tear gas canisters were thrown in his direction he was forced to retreat. This did little to discourage him though, he returned to the roundabout on Monday with hundreds of other demonstrators.
And many activists, like Anmar Kamalaldin have been voicing their commitment to the movement via Twitter, vowing sooner or later, they will return to Pearl Square.
Online mobilization for Bradley Manning
24 year old Bradley Manning, the alleged Wikileaks "mole", will be facing formal trial in the US on the 23rd February. He will then stand before a court martial where if convicted he could be facing a life prison sentence. He has a vast support network campaigning for him, demanding his immediate release.
Manning's supporters have been making great use of the web to get their message across. Two sites in particular have been extremely active in the fight for the soldier's freedom. The first, freebradley.com, has been asking web users to show their support by displaying these banners on their blogs or social network profiles. The second, bradleymanning.org has started various petitions defending the soldier who is considered a traitor by the US army.
And Private Manning can also count on the support of numerous artists. These groups have composed songs for him; songs which look back over the affair, denouncing, amongst other things, the harsh conditions of his detention.
And although the majority of campaigning for Bradley Manning has been taking place in the United States, support rallies have been organized all over the world on a regular basis. Like here in Frankfurt, Germany two weeks ago. The stated aim of the demonstrations is to lobby the American government to end what activists call an unacceptable situation.
Now trending on social networks
Up until two weeks ago, Jeremy Lin was a virtual unknown in the basketball world, but in just five matches he has become the latest star of the American NBA league. The New York Knicks player's dazzling rise to the top is reflected in his growing popularity on social networks, where he has drawn thousands of fans in just a few days. Web users have been getting their thinking caps on to come up with a fitting nickname. At just 23 years old, he is the only Asian American in the NBA, and we most certainly haven't heard the last of him.
A purple squirrel is an Internet celebrity
You have to see it to believe it. Last week a couple from Pennsylvania in the US captured a purple squirrel, posted photos of it on Facebook and released it back into the wild. How can this be possible? All sorts of theories are circulating online. Some think it drank polluted water, others say it fell into a can of paint. The purple squirrel itself though now has accounts on both Facebook and Twitter, and says "mummy was red and daddy was blue".
Video of the day
For French paraglider Jean-Baptiste Chandelier, mountains and vast open spaces are not indispensable. As he shows us in this fantastic video, paragliding can also be an urban sport, moving between buildings and over houses. The video was filmed in cities all over the world and you can watch it in its entirety on sharing sites.

How to Select
How to shop for Sinks
The modern sink is composed of a bowl that can serve multiple functions. Either hand or dishwashing can be performed. The other components are faucets or taps that provide hot and cold water.
A spray function may be found in a kitchen or commercial installations to aid faster rinsing. A hole at the bottom of the sink allows wastewater to be removed. The drain may have a strainer to help prevent clogging by waste particles or a garbage disposal unit may also be fitted.
Some sinks such as those found in restaurants or cafes may have a soap dispenser fitted to aid hygienic practices. Westside Wholesale offers a range of sinks to our customers to meet their particular needs.
When shopping for a sink the following factors should be considered.
- Sink type. Sinks come in a range of styles. The self-rimming or top mount sink is positioned in a hole cut to accommodate it. Clamping the sink from underneath creates a close seal between the sink and worktop. Alternatively, the bottom-mount or under mount sink is fitted from below; clamping is again done from below.
- Material. Given the near constant contact with water a sink must be designed with rust and corrosion prevention in mind. Metallic materials such as stainless steel, copper and nickel have proved to be popular with manufactures. Steel or iron may also feature a coating of enamel to prevent corrosion and to improve appearance. Those with large budgets may choose marble, stone or granite. These materials can add a classic or rustic nature to the sink.
- Style. For a modern look, materials to opt for include glass and concrete. Current trends favor these materials as they create a fresh vibe and are often found in fashionable restaurants, bars or clubs.
Westside Wholesale offer sinks from well-known manufacturers such as Vigo, Oliveri, Swanstone, Moen, and Dreamline. These are all manufacturers with a long history of providing sinks to professionals at a high standard. All products stocked by Westside Wholesale come with a manufacturers warranty for your peace of mind.
Westside Wholesale has experts available online to help advise on the perfect choice of sink for your home or business. Alternatively, you may wish to consult with your local plumbing specialist about which sink would best meet your needs.
Whatever your decision, the sinks stocked by Westside Wholesale will meet your needs and provide you with many years of service.

Soul Order Online II Overview
Soul Order Online is an oriental fantasy themed MMORPG developed by the same studio behind Talisman Online. Many of the game mechanics are inspired by World of Warcraft, but Soul Order Online boasts low system requirements and an auto-navigation system that's common among Asian games. While Soul Order Online is simple to play, it offers little innovation and actually feels more dated than Talisman Online which came out earlier. Join the Glory or Dark faction and battle against monsters or against other players.

You Can Modify a Mortgage on a Your Home in a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy!
Peter Orville, Binghamton Bankruptcy Lawyer, Bankruptcy Law Network
"You can modify (or cramdown) a mortgage on your residence in a Chapter 13 under current bankruptcy law if certain conditions are met. While the general rule is that you cannot modify mortgages on your home in a Chapter 13, you can if either of two separate instances exists.
1. If there is more than one mortgage on your home and the first is owed more than the value of the property. In this case the second, third, or fourth, mortgages can be avoided and treated as any other unsecured debt.
2. If the mortgage is also secured by any real or personal property other than your residence, you can cram it down (modify) to the value of the home and treat the balance as an unsecured debt.
There has been much coverage in recent months about Congress's attempts to extend the ability of homeowners to get a meaningful mortgage modification in a Chapter 13 the same way family farmers can in a Chapter 12 farm bankruptcy. Bankruptcy Law Network has discussed the politics behind these attempts and some of the forces trying to block them.
Most of the previous discussions, however, have not identified the two circumstances listed above which currently allow mortgage modifications within a Chapter 13 case.
A study of cases that look at the issues that arise when a mortgage is also secured by property other than the personal residence are not applied uniformly by bankruptcy courts. Some courts find that if a personal residence is also used for some other purpose – such as living on one side of a duplex and renting the other side out – then the mortgage can be modified. Other courts say the opposite.
The Western District of New York is a good example of the lack of uniformity. There are three separate decisions by three different bankruptcy court judges on this issue with different results.
If you are considering loan modification Bothell WA or bankruptcy to prevent or stall foreclosure, we recommend that you speak with a licensed attorney who specializes in bankruptcy and foreclosure prevention

Avoiding mortgage loan foreclosure is one of the hardest challenges you might ever face emotionally and financially. A Bothell WA mortgage modification Attorney offers consumers piece of mind, by helping them to navigate the complicated home loan modification Bothell WA procedure, to save their home from foreclosure, and to arrive at a mortgage payment that they can truly afford.

Popovers – American version of Yorkshire pudding. Popovers are tender, airy, hollow rolls surrounded by burnished crust, so yummy and addictive!
Originally published in Nov 10, 2013. Updated with new photos.
Can you believe that Thanksgiving is just two weeks+ away? I refuse to believe that time passes by so quickly and that a year feels like six months these days.
Anyway, as we inch closer to Thanksgiving, I wanted to share with you a couple of recipes from Martha Stewart Living, my favorite food magazine. When it comes to Turkey Day, there are always the same old same old and usual suspects, but Martha Stewart Living November 2013 issue has some really interesting recipes that I can't wait to share with you. One of them is the popovers recipe.
Popovers are the American version of Yorkshire pudding; they are basically egg batter baked in a tall popover pan. The end results are tender, airy, hollow rolls surrounded by burnished crust. They are quick and easy to make, and taste oh-so-tasty. They are delightful with turkey and add a sense of fun to a holiday meal. Popovers are also extremely versatile as you can make different variations, either savory or sweet, depending on your mood and also what you have in the fridge. I always love the classic plain popovers, but certain days, I love popovers with Gruyere cheese, bacon bits, or sweet with cinnamon sugar, as pictured below.
So this Thanksgiving, toss up your holiday menu and change things up a little bit. Buy a copy of the November issue of Martha Stewart'Living, bake some popovers, which I am sure will please both adults and children alike. Look at these fun looking pop0vers, I am sure you hope everyday's meal is as fun—and delicious—as the holidays.

These are called "Yorkshire puddings".
Yorkshire puddings are normally baked in beef drippings, these are similar but slightly different.
I love these as an easy and quick break on Sunday mornings!
Interesting. I'm always intrigued by Americanized versions of food. Thanks for introducing these. They look good!
Yorkshire puddings!!
Can you make these without popover pans?
Saw this and decided to respond – first time in my life ever!
Yes, my mother was a spectacular cook and was making popovers back in the 1950's. I don't think anyone had a popover pan back then.
She would make them in what she called "custard cups", which are the small clear glass dishes (I think made by pyrex) that they sell almost everywhere, including the grocery store. She would grease them, pour the mixture 1/2 to 3/4 of the way up the dish and place them on a cookie sheet to bake. They come out beautifully.
When I do my yorkshire pudding, I use the beef drippings. Can I use the Turkey drippings instead?. I am thinking that the Turkey dripping have a lower flash point, so your heat can't be as high.
My husband is allergic to eggs. Would these work with egg beaters? Thanks!
Hi,what is popover pan? If I use muffin pan do I need to use the muffin casing?or do I have to put the batter in the muffin pan itself.thks
I made these Popovers today and they were delicious. I used a non-stick muffin pan and they rose so tall. Thank you for another gretat recipe.
hi, you mentioned that if using muffin pan, need to reduce the baking time by 5 minutes, i am wondering if the time should be reduced during the higher temp at 450 or at the lower temp at 350 or at both temp?
thank you
Nice! My kind of easy pastry recipe! Will try the sweet version!

The ignition module or crankshaft position sensor may fail causing the engine to die and not restart. Diagnoses will be necessary to determine if the module or crank sensor is causing the no start condition.
Car problem reports
Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Newest reported Pontiac Sunbird problems
Loss of Power Steering Due to Leaking Steering Rack
It is not uncommon for the power steering rack to develop a fluid leak requiring replacement of the rack assembly. Loss of power steering fluid may also cause an abnormal noise and damage to the power steering pump.
Serpentine Belt Tensioner May Fail
The serpentine belt tensioner can fail; it may become noisy and/or the belt may jump off. Replacement of the failed tensioner will be necessary.
High pressure power steering hoses can leak fluid
It is very common for the high pressure power steering rubber hoses to leak. Our technicians recommend replacing leaky rubber hoses to prevent the loss of power steering.
Fuel injectors can short-circuit
One or more of the fuel injectors may short out electrically causing a rough idle condition.
Engine Vacuum Leak Due to Cracked PCV Vacuum Hose
The PCV vacuum hose under the upper intake plenum may become brittle and crack causing an engine vacuum leak.
The Engine May Stall After Extended Freeway Driving
The torque converter clutch can stick "on" after extended freeway driving causing the engine to stall when coming to a stop. Our technicians tell us when this occurs, the engine usually will restart and stall when put into gear. After allowing about twenty minutes for the engine and transmission to cool down, the engine will start and the transmission will operate normally. Replacing the torque converter clutch solenoid, transmission filter, and fluid will generally correct this issue.
Front Brake Rotor Wear Can Cause Pulsations
Front brake rotors can wear causing a pulsation felt in the brake pedal. Our technicians tell us this condition is best corrected by replacement of the front rotors and brake pads.
Coolant Leak & Engine Overheating
A coolant leak may develop from the water pump. The engine may overheat as a result of the coolant loss. A leaking water pump should be replaced.
Transmission Fluid Leak From Cooler Line
The rubber section of an automatic transmission cooler line may develop a fluid leak . In some cases the leaking section of hose can be replaced. In others, the complete cooler line must be replaced to correct this concern.
Stalling or Low Engine Idle Speed Due to Dirty Throttle Body
A dirty throttle body may cause a lower than normal engine idle resulting in a stalling condition. A stalling condition may also result if an idle learn procedure is not performed if the battery goes dead or is disconnected.
The Fuel Pump May Fail Causing the Engine to Stall or Crank Over But Not Start
The fuel pump may fail causing the engine to stall and not restart. Our technicians recommend replacing the fuel filter every 30,000 miles to help prevent undue strain on the fuel pump.
Power Window Not Working Due to Window Motor
A door window may move slowly or stop in mid travel due to a failing power window motor. The affected window may start working again after the motor cools off. Replacing the faulty window motor will commonly correct this concern.
Engine temperature sensor wire may short on rear exhaust manifold
The engine temperature sensor wire for the engine temperature gauge, or warning light, may touch the rear exhaust manifold causing a short to ground causing erratic operation of the temperature gauge or warning light.
Engine Control Module (ECM) can fail
The Engine Control Module (ECM) can fail causing stalling, and engine and transmission drivability concerns.

Atlantica Online
Atlantica Online Overview
Known officially as a 'strategy MMORPG', Atlantica Online has achieved success solely through it's innovative turn-based combat system, and guild control system. While there are few character choices in the beginning, players can choose from over 20 different 'Mercenaries' later in the game, with a maximum of 8, thereby constructing their own unique team and style. Higher level characters have much to look forward to in the way of PvP, participating in large scale guild battles over towns and land.
Primary Character Weapon Choices - Sword, Spear, Axe, Gun, Bow, Cannon, Staff, Power Saw, Musician

Atlantica Online Review
By Cody 'Neramaar' Hargreaves
Although I find the phrase a little cliche, you would literally have to have been living under a rock on a distant planet to not know at least a little about the smash-hit MMO Atlantica Online by now. Combining turn based elements from older-style RPG games with traditional MMORPG features was a stroke of pure genius, one that will be remembered for years to come as the moment that redefined the standard for F2P MMO gaming.
As for you rock-dwelling space creatures out there that have yet to experience the beast that is Atlantica Online, read on to find out why the vast majority of the gaming community have been calling this one the best 2008 had to offer.
Like any great RPG, Atlantica Online has a deep and enjoyable story for players to discover as they journey through the world. You play as a descendant of the once great Atlantians – a proud and greedy race that met their end and disappeared forever some thousand years ago. Your task – to find the lost city of Atlantis, and fight your way across an ancient Earth as you do.
Of course, before embarking on such a journey, one must first decide on the finer things in life – such as which weapon they prefer to use, and how they like to style their hair. Weapons range everywhere from Swords and Axes to Pole arms, Cannons, Bows, Staffs and Guns – hair and face styles however give much less of a choice. To get it out of the way nice and early, this is the single one thing that annoys in Atlantica Online – as with the limited armor styles later in the game, it truly is hard to stand out from the pack. It's not a big issue – just one that saddens me a little.
Having created your character and chosen your weapon of preference, you'll soon be thrust head-first into your first – and last – quest chain. This begins with a short tutorial, and then quickly turns into the long and perilous journey that is Atlantica Online. During the tutorial you will discover a lot about Atlantica, and there's a good chance that most of it will be very new. The main ones include the turn-based battle system, and the mercenary system – both of which are fantastic.
The turn-based battles are pretty straight forward – you take your turn, and then the enemy theirs – but it's the mercenaries that make things really interesting. You see, turn-based battles are no fun when you only have one character, thus, in Atlantica you take control of up to nine. These characters take the form of mercenaries, and each have their own individual styles and skills. They also level up just like your main character, and using Ashen Crystals can 'evolve' into different fighters later in the game.
During the tutorial you are able to choose your first 2 mercenaries, but must recruit the remaining six as you progress – with one additional slot opening each time your main character advances ten levels. As you can see, this allows for hundreds of possible battle combination, allowing you to truly appeal to your strategic nature. You may, for example, set up some long range mercenaries like Gunners or Archers at the back, with some of the more durable Swordsmen or Vikings up front. Or perhaps you would prefer to focus on healing and defense, and hire shamans and monks to do your bidding. The opportunities are near endless, and it makes the battle far more interesting.
The battles themselves play out much like those found in an older RPG game, such as the Final Fantasy Series. You and your opponent take turn in attacking one another until one of you has been defeated. In PvE, you must kill all enemies to win, although in PvP, the battle ends when the main character falls. For the most part, each turn is time limited to 30 seconds – making the combat both faced-paced, and highly strategic.
Another interesting feature – one that caused a great deal of controversy with it's implementation back in the closed beta – is the stamina system, by which one point of stamina is consumed per battle, with 120 stamina available per day. It's a great way to pace yourself when playing, but it can also be viewed as a severe limitation to some players, as once your stamina is depleted – your experience and loot rates drops so significantly that it's barely worth playing until it resets.
Upon completing the tutorial you will be flung headfirst into a world that is noticeably as vast as it is beautiful. Not only does everything both look and sound amazing, but the world that you'll be exploring is none other than the glorious planet Earth – albeit a few hundred thousand years ago. While there is definitely a predominant fantasy setting throughout, you'll be visiting places from all over the globe – everywhere from the Taj Mahal to Dracula's Castle and Rome to New York City. While some of the places are simply towns, others are dangerous dungeons waiting to be explored.
Inside towns players have a wealth of options at their disposal – although for the most part the only place you'll be visiting is the player driven marketplace to purchase ingredients for crafting. The noticeable lack of NPC's in towns can make them feel lifeless, but the trade off is that the entire game – every single item – is player controlled. Need a potion? Then you'll either need to make it, or buy it from a player; and the same goes with absolutely everything else too.
To make things even more interesting, towns can also be claimed by guilds – that then reap the tax-based rewards of the sales made in the town. Warring clans can fight for control of the cities, and can even take control of entire regions to from a nation. While I won't go into to much detail here – believe me when I say that there is a lot of ground to cover in the higher levels of the game.
The rest of Atlantica is up to you to discover – but you'll be happy to know there are many other things to keep you entertained while you do. PvP makes up a large potion of the game, and can be experienced by participating in duels at the Colosseum in Rome, dueling other players that agree, or simply PKing those that don't. The handy auto-run feature also helps to make Atlantica a breeze to play – as with only one real quest chain to follow, and the ability to auto-run to the next part automatically – you'll rarely get lost, or need to grind enemies to level up either.
Final Verdict: Excellent
Put simply, Atlantica Online is the proverbial cream of the crop in free to play gaming, and will remain that way for a long time to come. With its gorgeous graphics, compelling and innovative gameplay, and unforgettable crafting and PvP systems, Atlantica Online is a game that offers something for everyone, and is more than worth the time of any MMORPG fan.
