The present invention relates to moisture measuring apparatus and particularly such apparatus for providing accurate measurement in the presence of circuit changes.
Moisture measuring apparatus has been known heretofore for taking moisture measurements by means of a sensor placed in a kiln wherein such sensor is connected to a meter circuit by an intermediate coaxial cable. The sensor would provide a shunting effect on a tuned circuit, according to the extent of moisture present, resulting in a measurement by a meter circuit. Unfortunately, circuits of this type are difficult to maintain in accurately calibrated condition since the presence of moisture is a relatively small parameter compared with other constants of the system. For example, the length of the coaxial cable between the sensor and the meter circuitry would have a pronounced effect on the calibration, and changes in length would require retuning of the circuit. Moreover, changes in circuit constants with age would have an effect on the calibration of the instrument requiring re-zeroing thereof. Generally, such equipment would be supplied with only one length of coaxial cable, although it might be more convenient to employ differing lengths of coaxial cable between the sensor and meter circuitry.
According to the present invention, a sensor is coupled to a tuned circuit on a periodic basis, while at other times the drive to the tuned circuit is standardized such that a given voltage is caused to appear across the tuned circuit. In a particular embodiment, a coaxial cable connects the sensor to the tuned circuit, but the sensor is disconnected from the far end of the coaxial cable while the drive is established. Then the only variable in tuned circuit loading becomes the sensor when the sensor is recoupled to the coaxial cable.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a standard amplification is developed between the tuned circuit and a meter output by applying a standard loading pulse to the tuned circuit by which a standard output is produced when the sensor is decoupled.
According to another feature of the present invention, a multiple array of cable reels is provided for carrying cables which can be selectively connected to the circuitry of the present invention. The cables may have differing lengths, but the circuitry is self-calibrating in the manner mentioned above.
It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide an improved moisture measuring aparatus which is less sensitive to circuit parameters, cable lengths and changes in cable humidity and temperature than apparatus heretofore available.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an improved moisture measuring apparatus which can be easily "centered" or "zeroed" for subsequent operation without requiring continud readjustment.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an improved moisture measuring apparatus with which various lengths of coaxial cable can be employed.
It is another object of the present invention to provide improved moisture measuring apparatus including a plurality of cable connections by means of which cables may be conected to various kilns.
It is a further object of the present inventon to provide an improved gating circuit usable with moisture measuring apparatus or the like.
The subject matter which I regard as my invention is particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of this specificaton. The invention, however, both as to organization and method of operation, together with further advantages and objects thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein like reference characters refer to like elements.

FIG. 3 is a waveform diagram illustrating a series of pulses applied to the circuitry of FIGS. 1 and 2,
FIG. 4 is a reel array according to the present invention, and
FIG. 5 is a side view of one of the reels of the FIG. 4 array.
Referring to the drawings, particularly FIG. 1, RF oscillator 10 provides an input to the circuit and is connected via resistor 12 to diode gating circuit 14 including diodes 16 and 18 respectively having a cathode and anode joined to ouput terminal 20. Resistor 12 is connected to the anode of diode 16, and via capacitor 22 to the cathode diode 18. The cathode of diode 18 is also returned to ground via the series connection of potentiometer 24 and resistor 26. An RF choke 28 returns the output of oscillator 10 to a positive voltage.
The output terminal 20 of diode circuit 14 is coupled by means of capacitor 30 to one terminal of a parallel tuned circuit 31 comprising capacitor 32 shunted by the serial combination of inductance coil 34 and variable inductance coil 36, each suitably being provided with a ferrite core. A capacitor 38 is interposed between the remote end of coil 34 and the remote end of capacitor 32 which is also grounded. The tuned circuit is employed for tuning coaxial cable 40.
The outside terminal of coaxial cable 40 is grounded and the inner conductor is coupled to the junction between capacitor 30 and capacitor 32 by means of a coupling capacitor 42. At the remote end of coaxial cable 40, the center conductor is coupled via diode 44 to sensor 46 which is suitably disposed in a kiln or the like, while the juncture between the sensor and the diode is returned to ground via the series of combination of the resistor 48 and choke 50.
The non-grounded end of the tuned circuit is also connected to an input of an amplifier 52 through resistor 54 and capacitor 56 in series, the input of the amplifier also being connected by resistor 58 to the center of voltage divider 60, 62, and further through resistor 64 to the movable tap of the potentiometer 66. A zero pulse lead 88 is connected through resistor 90 and diode 92 to the midpoint of the voltage divider 60, 62. Both the potentiometer and the voltage divider are disposed between a predetermined positive voltage and ground. A remaining input of amplifier 52, like other amplifiers in the circuit, is returned to the amplifier output and ground in a conventional fashion for integrated circuit amplifiers. A resistor 68 is disposed between the output of amplifier 52 and ground, while a diode 70 is interposed between the ouput of the amplifier and an integrating capacitor 72 shunted by resistor 74. The diode 70 is poled such as to charge capacitor 72 to a positive voltage at its ungrounded terminal. The ungrounded terminal of capacitor 70 is also coupled to an input of an amplifier 76 through resistor 78, the last mentioned amplifier having its output connected via resistor 80 to normally closed switch 82. The switch connects such output by way of resistor 84 in feedback fashion on lead 83 to the cathode of diode 18. A capacitor 86 is connected from the juncture of elements 80, 82 to a positive voltage. The circuit including amplifier 52 and 76 is designated as a zeroing circuit 71.
The ungrounded end of tuned circuit 31 is also coupled via resistor 94 and capacitor 96 in series to an input of an amplifier 98, said input also being coupled through a resistor 100 to the midpoint of a voltage divider 102, 104, and from such midpoint via a resistor 106 to a movable connection of potentiometer 108. A standard pulse lead 110 is further coupled to the ungrounded end of the tuned circuit through the series combination of resistor 112 and diode 114.
The output of amplifier 98 is coupled via capacitor 116 to a diode gate 118 connected in the same manner as diode gate 14, with the juncture of capacitor 116 and gate 118 being returned to a positive voltage through resistor 120. Also, the diodes in gate 118 are shunted by capacitors 122 and 124 respectively, while a resistor 126 returns the gate to ground. A first output of gate 118 is coupled through resistor 128 and capacitor 130 in series to an input of amplifier 132 having its input connection further coupled by resistor 134 to the junction of a voltage divider 136, 138, and further through resistor 140 to the movable tap of potentiometer 142. Both the voltage divider and the potentiometer are disposed between a positive voltage and ground. A gain pulse lead 144 is connected through resistor 146 and diode 144 in series to the center tap of the voltage divider 136, 140. The output of gate 118 is further connected via resistor 148 and capacitor 150 to the input of an amplifier 152 which is also coupled by means of resistor 154 to the center tap of voltage divider 156, 158, and through resistor 160 to the movable tap of potentiometer 162, wherein the voltage divider and the potentiometer are disposed between a positive voltage and ground. A meter pulse lead 164 is coupled through resistor 166 and diode 168 in series to the center tap of the voltage divider 156, 158.
The output of amplifier 132 is connected through diode 170 to an integrating capacitor 172 shunted by a resistor 174. The ungrounded end of the capacitor is further coupled through resistor 176 to an input of amplifier 174 having its output coupled via switch l76 to a feedback lead 178 connected by way of resistor 180 to the junction of resistor 126 and gate 118. The circuit including amplifiers 132 and 174 is designated a gain balance circuit 171.
The output of amplifier 152 is connected through diode 182 to integrating capacitor 184 shunted with a resistor 188, the ungrounded end of capacitor being further coupled by a resistor 190 to an input of an amplifier 192. The amplifier 192 has a variable feedback circuit including potentiometer 194 and 196 disposed in series between the output of the amplifier and the remaining input terminal thereof, the latter being returned to ground through resistor 198. The output terminal of amplifier 192 is coupled via resistor 200 to the base of PNP output transistor 202 having its collector grounded, its emitter returned to a positive voltage through emitter resistor 204, and its emitter also being coupled to meter 206 through a resistor 208. The remaining meter terminal is returned to a positive voltage less positive than the voltage to which resistor 204 is connected.
A sensor pulse lead 210 is coupled through resistor 212 and capacitor 214 in series to the base of an NPN transistor 216 having its emitter connected to a negative lead and its collector coupled through RF choke 218 and resistor 220 in series to the juncture between capacitor 42 and the center lead of coaxial cable 40. The collector of transistor 218 is also returned to a positive voltage through the parallel combination of resistor 222 and capacitor 224, while a voltage divider comprising resistor 226 and resistor 228 is disposed between positive and negative voltages respectively, the center tap of which connects to the base of transistor 216.
The operation of the FIG. 1 circuit will be described with the aid of simplified block diagram FIG. 2 and waveform chart FIG. 3, the latter depicting repetitive waveforms which are provided on the various pulse leads by standard pulse generating circuitry (not shown).
As may be seen from block diagram of FIG. 2, oscillator 10 drives gate 14, the latter feeding tuned circuit 31 to an extent determined by means of feedback on lead 83 from zeroing circuit 71. The tuned circuit tunes coaxial cable 40 which drives sensor 46. The sensor conventionally comprises a plate or similar electrode placed among wood products in a drying kiln and utilized for measuring the mositure content of the wood products being dried.
In this case, the sensor 46 causes more or less loading upon tuned circuit 31, and this loading in turn causes a greater or lessor signal to be transmitted to gate 118 and from there through meter circuit 191 to meter 206. The zeroing circuit 71 is employed for maintaining predetermined drive conditions for the tuned circuit, in spite of moderate changes in coaxial cable 40 as may be interposed between the sensor and the tuned circuit, and regardless of variations in the magnitude of the output from oscillator 10. Moreover, the zeroing circuit 71 is employed for balancing the system to provide a predetermined reading or output on meter 206 for predetermined moisture conditions.
The gain balance circuit 171 is also utilized in balancing the circuitry so that a standard gain output coupling is provided as in the case of a standard loading of the tuned circuit. For this purpose, the standard pulse as depicted in FIG. 3 is applied to tuned circuit 31 for loading the same to a predetermined extent, at the same time the gain pulse is applied to gain balance circuit 171, with switch 176 being closed. Under these conditions, the gain of the circuit is set for a desired output. With switch 176 closed the signal magnitude for the standard pulse is maintained through gate 18 by means of feedback on lead 178. Since circuit 171 includes integrating capacitor 172, the gain to the output meter can be maintained, as well, at times when the standard pulse and gain pulse do not occur.
As can be seen in FIG. 1, the standard pulse, which is negative going, causes diode 114 to conduct and places a predetermined load on tuned circuit 31. At this time, the gain pulse, which is positive going enables amplifier 132 which is otherwise "pulled down" at its input through diode 144. The charge on capacitor 172 is determined through diode 170, charging the capacitor to a value which would cause a prescribed gain reading. Since switch 176 is closed, the voltage on the lead 178 causes gate 118 to conduct to a predetermined degree. If the output is otherwise than as desired, potentiometer 142 may be adjusted for establishing the proper charge on capacitor 172 and therefore the proper output. Since the proper charge on capacitor 172 will be maintained from one standard and gain pulse combination to the next, the gate 118 always attains the proper attenuation to supply the proper signal value despite changes in amplfier 98 and the like. During initial setup, a positive going meter pulse may be applied at the same time as the standard pulse-gain pulse combination for monitoring the desired calibration of the instrument. The gain balance circuit then holds the gain at the proper value.
During normal operation, a zero pulse occurs after each combination of the standard pulse and gain pulse. The zero pulse is a positive going pulse and allows conduction through amplifier 52, the input lead of amplifier 52 otherwise being "pulled down" to a negative value through diode 92. When amplifier 52 conducts, capacitor 72 is charged to a desired value through diode 70. This value is such as to achieve the proper peak-to-peak value of waveform 230 across tuned circuit 31. Correct drive is maintained by means of feedback on lead 83, as hereinbefore indicated, such that gate 14 couples greater or lesser energy from oscillator 10 to the tuned circuit for maintaining the desired operation regardless of changes in the circuit, changes in the coaxial cable 40 coupled thereto, or changes in the magnitude of the waveform actually produced by oscillator 10. Since the proper drive across the tuned circuit for acquiring proper readings will be maintained largely independently of the coaxial cable 40 employed, a moderate change can be made in the length of cable 40 without readjusting the circuit. The feedback also keeps the meter in the "center of balance." It is understood the charge on capacitor 72 remains between applications of the zero pulse.
When the zero pulse is applied it is understood the sensor 46 is not connected to the circuit; i.e., the positive going portion of the sensor pulse disconnects diode 44 at this time via transistor 216, choke 218 and resistor 220. The other side of diode 44 is referenced to ground via resistor 48 and choke 50. Then, when the proper reference voltage has been established across tuned circuit 230, and the proper gain is established for the circuit including amplifier 98 between the tuned circuit and the meter circuit, the positive portion of the sensor pulse is discontinued, i.e., the sensor pulse goes negative. Consequently, diode 44 is allowed to conduct and the sensor 46 provides a load on the tuned circuit 31, and at this time changes the voltage across the tuned circuit. This voltage change is amplified via amplifier 98 and is passed on to the meter circuit 191 which operates meter 206. As a consequence, the meter 206 will constantly measure the moisture-caused loading of the tuned circuit and consequently the moisture in the kiln. The measuring circuitry itselft is constantly standardized in performance and measurement ability by the preceeding series of pulses.
As will be seen from FIG. 1, the output voltage of the tuned circuit, during measurement, is coupled via gate 118 to amplifier 152, the output of which is coupled to capacitor 184 by way of diode 182. Capacitor 184 stores the proper reading between occurrences of the meter pulse, which is applied to amplifier 152 substantially coincidentally with the negative going portion of the sensor pulse. The meter pulse causes diode 168 to stop conducting, whereby the input of amplifier 152, normally pulled down, is allowed to receive a signal. The positive going meter pulse is substantially concurrent with, but desirably somewhat narrower than, the negative going portion of the sensor pulse, so that the sensor is connected for the entire time the meter pulse is applied. The meter pulse causes amplifier 152 to conduct and capacitor 184 to store its charge. The charge on capacitor 184 is, of course, amplified by amplifier 192 which provides its output to transistor 202 for driving meter 206.
Gate 14, as well as gate 118, comprise a half-bridge diode gate which is turned on by negative voltage at its lower terminal. Considering gate 14 in particular, feedback on line 83 causes conduction of both diodes 16 and 18 from choke 28 through resistor 12 and through potentiometer 24 and resistor 26 to ground. So long as the voltage on line 83 is negative with respect to the voltage applied at the upper terminal of choke 28, the gate will conduct to some degree and the a.c. input is coupled either via diode 16, or via capacitor 22 and diode 18. However, the degree of conduction through the gate is dependent upon the value of the voltage on feedback leads 83. If the value of the voltage on lead 83 relative to the voltage supplied choke 28 is less than the peak to peak value of the oscillating waveform, then some clipping will take place, and the amount of clipping can be controlled by the value of the feedback voltage so as to control the energy supplied tuned circuit 31.
The actual sensor is energized via a coaxial cable as hereinbefore indicated. One or more such coaxial cables may be stored upon a cable reel configuration 230 as illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5. This reel mechanism is suitably mounted on the underside of a console 232 in which the electronic circuitry, hereinbefore described, is located. The reel mechanism comprises a plurality of reels such as illustrated at 234 and 236, each including a central drum 238 to which end discs 240 and 242 are secured. The reels are rotatably received on an axial member 244, supported by a bracket 262 as may be mounted at one end of the console, and by another similar bracket (not shown) at the remote end of the console. A crank 246 is attached to one end of the axial member 244 for rotating the same, and each reel includes a catch 256 having a hook end 258 rotatable into locking engagement with an aperture 260 in rotatable member 240. The catch 256 is spring-loaded against the side of a reel disc so that it will remain in whatever position it is placed. Thus, the catch may be engaged for enabling rotation of the reels by means of crank 246, or the catch may be disengaged whereby the reel can turn freely.
On the side of each reel is mounted a clamp 248 for receiving one end of a coaxial cable 250 extending through aperture 252 in the side of the reel, and wherein the remote end of such coaxial cable receives a coaxial connector 254. This coaxial connector may be plugged into the electronic equipment (by means not shown), and the coaxial cable 250 in a given instance corresponds to the coaxial cable 40 as referenced in FIGS. 1 and 2. The coaxial cable is wound around one of the reels 234 or 236, and may be unwound for connecting the remote end thereof to a sensor in a given kiln. After connection to a sensor in a given kiln, the corresponding reel may be latched with catch 256 and coaxial connector 254 may be engaged with the electronic equipment for energizing the sensor and receiving information therefrom. When a cable is to be no longer used, the coaxial connector 254 may be disconnected, and the crank 246 turned to reel in the cable. Any one of a plurality of coaxial cables mounted on various reels may be coupled to the electronic equipment in a given instance without affecting the meter reading since the circuit is insensitive to all except large changes in the length of the coaxial cable. Thus, the zeroing circuit provides a given peak-to-peak voltage across the tuned circuit 31 at a time when the coaxial cable is connected, but at a time when the sensor is disconnected by means of diode 44. Then the only variable is the moisture which is sensed by the sensor. In this manner, variables attributable to most changes in cable length and changes in humidity and temperature of the cable are compensated for, and the tuned circuit doesn't have to be retuned for different cables. The meter is "balanced" or "zeroed" at a given reference reading and held there except for changes occasioned by moisture encountered by the sensor, which is the variable being measured. A convenient array of cables for connecting to different kilns is available and the cables can be connected and withdrawn at will.
While I have shown and described a preferred embodiment of my invention, it wll be apparent to those skilled in the art that many changes and modifications may be made without departing from my invention in its broader aspects. I therefore intend the appended claims to cover all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of my invention.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of intravitreal injection of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide-38 (PACAP-38), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and the VIP-associated glial protein activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP) in the rat retina. These elements have well-documented neuroprotective properties and may thus be integrated in endogenous neuroprotective mechanisms in the retina which break down in NMDA excitotoxicity.
Methods: A volume of 2 μl of 100 nmol NMDA was intravitreally injected into one eye of rats, the untreated eye served as a control. Time-dependent effects of NMDA on VIP, PACAP-38 and BDNF were detected by radioimmunoassay and ELISA, and the effect on the expression of VIP, PACAP-38 and ADNP was evaluated by quantitative RT-PCR 20 days after NMDA injection. Topical flunarizine served to find out whether the effect of NMDA is counteracted.
Results: Compared to PACAP-38, VIP levels significantly decreased on days 1, 7, 14, 28 and 56 after NMDA injection indicating that VIPergic cells are more vulnerable than PACAP-38-expressing cells. The expression of VIP and ADNP but not of PACAP-38 was found to be reduced, and application of topical flunarizine counteracted the decrease of VIP. BDNF levels significantly increased after days 1 and 3.
Conclusion: The early upregulation of BDNF seems to act neuroprotectively and leads to a delay of ganglion cell loss. Although there is no direct evidence, the decrease of VIP and ADNP – the consequence of the presence of NMDA receptors on these peptide-expressing cells – might contribute to the breakdown of endogenous neuroprotective mechanisms given that the decrease of the VIP-related ADNP runs in parallel with the decrease of VIP. Activating and maintaining these mechanisms must be the primary aim in the therapy of diseases with retinal neuronal degeneration.

Discussion in 'Disneyland (California)' started by LizzyS, Jun 8, 2013.
I'm a huge MJ fan, so I love Captain EO, but I can certainly understand why others don't.
Log in or Sign up to hide this advert.
Captain Eo.
Mad hatters party
Arcade under space mountain
Everything else seems to make sense and enhance a visit.
Its loooong gone from DLR anyway. But man did I love that show as a kid!! Listened to the record (yes, the vinyl kind) all the time at home! But agree that as an adult I'd probably find it cringe-worthy (never been to WDW...they still have it there right? Is it the same as the original DL version?).
I'd say because kids today have no idea who the Swiss Family Robinson are but its not like most of them saw Tarzan either....
There are rides that aren't my favorite but I'm having a hard time coming up with one that I can't at least enjoy through my children's eyes
Even the stuff aimed at little ones is fun for me again now that I go with my nieces.
But I don't get all the hoopla about Soarin. I thought, based on other people's feedback, that it would be a lot more awesome than it was.
And you won't catch me paddling a canoe on a hot day, or ever. I can go to the gym to be tortured like that.
Yes, made for an interesting conversation after our first ride. Once the kids understood the "historical" context well then they enjoyed it more but it did raise questions - which I actually invited. I love it when my kids question things and often times the things they question are the things that just look wrong!
Rodger rabit...i just dont get the crowds for it. I never really cared for the movie either tho
Captain EO but then again i never saw it in the 80s and the only time ive seen it was after a 10 hour drive then staying awake all night in like for leap day then refusing to sleep and seeing captsin eo on our 30 something hour of no sleep. i wonder if it would have made more sense if my brain were on.
I don't get IASW. I can appreciate the history of it, but that doesn't mean I ever want to step foot (boat?) in the ride ever again.
The ride I don't really get is Toy Story Midway Mania. It's fun, but it is basically just a series of video games. I'll ride it during Magic Mornings, but I can't imagine waiting for more than a few minutes to experience it.
Canal Boats. Cute, but kind of boring and rinky-dink. I can see the appeal for young kids, but I'd rather spend my time on the big stuff.
I don't get parades at all. They're boring, the songs are repetitive, and they block off one part of the park from the other.
I also don't understand the Animation Building; it's fun for a quick walk-through, but I'd never spend more than 15 or 20 minutes there. It's like Innoventions for me; stuff I could easily do at home.
I'm also not a fan of Jack Sparrow/politically correct Pirates of the Caribbean. Give me the pirates chasing the women, a smoke-free fortress room, and a ride bookended by skeleton-filled pirate caverns. Jack Sparrow lessens the ride.
Finally, for something I love that a lot of people tend to dislike: it's a small world. It's not a Disneyland vacation until I ride it; the song, the animatronics, and seeing the different cultures is just wonderful.
The Lincoln thing does nothing for me, but I'm Cdn so you can take that with a grain of salt.
Storybook Land Canal Boats - I honestly walk by those in line feeling bad that 2 minutes in they will be begging to get off. Same for Nemo. Also not a fan of Roger Rabbit - but appreciate him having a ride in Toon Town.
The ride I don't get is Grizzly River Run. I understand that people want to cool off on a hot day with a water ride, but I just don't see the thrill on this one. It's very pretty, with the water falls and flowing river. I enjoy standing on the bridge, watching people float by and taking pictures of my family on the ride, but I don't care to ride it. Now I admit I'm not a huge fan of getting soaked. However, I love Splash Mountain and will always ride that every chance I get, regardless of how wet I get because that ride is amazing. I just don't get GRR.
We love Autopia, but what I don't get is the poor quality stinky cars. It's pretty frustrating to wait in that long line only to get a car that dies every 60 seconds. Why not upgrade?
Tiki room. Only ride we have ever walked out of (though I would on Nemo subs if possible). We just don't get the tiki room at all. It was awful. If sooner do captain EO then that again.
I agree Tiki Room is an awful ride. As a show however, I love it.
I am not a fan if the Parades except the electrical parade. Also one I have not seen mentioned. World Of Color. I don't like shows that have no story. It's just a bunch of things thrown together at random. Boring.
Sent from my iPhone 5 using DISBoards
To me Innoventions has been the key "stinker" of an exhibit for some time, it just doesn't fit.
I don't get world of color either. If I have to see it again, I think I'll bring a pillow so I can nap.
I might be in the minority, but I don't get the Tower of Terror. I don't see the point of waiting 45 minutes for about a minute of being bounced up and down. My wife and niece love it, so I let them go together while I relax.
I also have never enjoied the Grizzly Rapids, but then I dislike "rapids" type rides anywhere.
On the flip side, the things I disliked as a young man: IASW, Tiki Room, the Fantasyland dark rides, are things I started to really treasure about the time I turned 35. Anything that is more/less the same as it was when I was growing up always brings me to a place in my childhood with people who are long gone. The awesome part is the same ride will bring me to different places with each ride, depending on the time of year or the weather. Thats one of the reasons I am sad every time they take something out or massively change something that had been there a very long time, as people won't experience those things anymore on that ride. To me, that's the most awesome magic Walt Disney ever worked. He created a place where memories can be preserved by revisiting things you remember from childhood.

I have been working at Little Caesar's
The work is physically demanding, so I can count every shift as a workout! Employees are allowed to make themselves pizzas for free, during any given shift they work. Hours are flexible, great for students!
The work is physically demanding, every shift is a workout! The standards of Quality get compromised in favor of the standards of Quantity.
If I could speak directly to the leadership over the Little Caesar's company, I would ask that they spend more time, personally, in the little stores out on the fringes, where they might find surprising differences from the ideal vision for a Little Caesar's Restaurant.

The company offers flexible hours and time off is usually given with no questions asked. If you're a teen or in your early 20's you'll work around a lot of people your age which can make for an uplifting work environment and makes the necessary teamwork that much easier.Cons
Some days are extremely busy and the level of business can be unpredictable at times. There are also no benefits of any kind and the chances of getting more than 20 hours a week are virtually impossible. As with other fast food jobs, enjoy the free food here and there because you're going to need it with how much they pay you.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Many Little Caesars stores do not deliver - I can't tell you how many sales we've lost over the phone due to this. Go out on a limb and dare to hire delivery drivers! This is one of the main reasons people order pizza is so they don't have to go fetch it themselves! Do this and watch your sales skyrocket.Doesn't RecommendNo opinion of CEO

This is the easiest Management position I have ever held! Very little stress!!! I have built a very strong team and now the store is a smooth operation and my job is to just keep it moving..... I love it! I can't believe I get paid to do what I do. Company has treated me like a person - not a number, upper-management is involved at all levels, medical benefits are excellent, bonus structure is fair and I have never missed one yet, excellent opportunities for advanced.Cons
Stop hiring weak store managers, in this job market we can be PICKY! long work weeks with split days off, takes a little gettting used to if you don't have a background in the restaurant business.Advice to ManagementAdvice
This is the fairest company I have ever worked for and I am content with my compensation package but continue to focus on leadership training on all levels!RecommendsApproves of CEO

Teddy Hart was recently interviewed on The Programme, discussing recreating Stampede Wrestling in Canada, wrestling for AAA in Mexico and more. Here are the highlights… On Reviving Stampede Wrestling: "Konnan is a big reason behind that. Because he was a part of Stampede at it's pinnacle as a feeder system for New Japan, WWE…. But, when he saw the state of Wrestling in Alberta… 3 years ago. He was quite appalled. Because Bret due to his stroke and due to other ailments has not been able to promote or do anything for Alberta Wrestling…. So, Konnan stepped up and let me use his name and the AAA name which is the second largest wrestling company on the earth right now. That draws live crowds and doesn't pay studio audience crowds to come in and watch… Not disrespecting TNA, but that's not a real show when you gotta pay the audience or the audience doesn't pay to watch….

Harper Fund Award
Application Deadline: June 26
In honor of SAMLA past president George Mills Harper, SAMLA established the Harper Fund Award to provide graduate students with travel funds to attend the annual conference. Professor Harper's academic career spanned over 50 years, and he provided exceptional leadership and service to the association.
From his early years on the family farm in the Ozarks to his matriculation from Culver-Stockton College to UNC-Chapel Hill to his later chairmanship of the English Department at Florida State University, Harper concentrated his writing and research efforts in Irish studies, particularly focusing on W. B. Yeats. In 1981, Dr. Harper received an honorary doctorate from Trinity College Dublin in recognition for his critical work in studying Yeats and the occult.
SAMLA and the Harper Fund committee are eager to grant travel funds to graduate students who possess a keen interest in the humanities in order to present at the annual SAMLA conference. Please note that all applicants must have an accepted presentation for the respective conference to be considered for this honorarium. To apply, graduate students should complete the Harper Fund Award Application form, and submit the following documents to the SAMLA office via email by June 26th:
As a memorial fund for Dr. Harper, The Harper Fund is maintained through your generous donations. You may make donations directly via our online Harper Fund Donation form or during your membership submission/renewal or conference registration processes. You may also donate by purchasing a SAMLA mug for only $10.
Please contact Paul Donnelly at email@example.com or 404.413.5816 with any questions.

technically you won't see the increase unless to file is already cached on the SSd.
1 recommendation
Depending on the motherboard/chipset you have, maybe the Intel Smart Response Technology would be an ideal solution?On my Asus P8Z77, I can use a SSD up to 64GB that acts as a cache. From what I have read, the performance is greatly improved when booting and loading new programs.This would allow you to keep your OS and storage on the larger MHDDs, even in a RAID configuration, while utilizing the much faster access time of the SSD for the applications that get used more frequently.I'm still in research mode about this, but it might be something to consider if it proves to work as advertised. A fast 64GB SSD is relatively inexpensive.
Not 256GB, but 240GB.I've had this one for ten months, running 24/7.No problems at all, and it's incredibly fast»www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ··· 20226237I also have a 1TB mechanical HD I keep all my Winamp tunes @ a movie or three. I have a short-cut on the desktop, (Mushkin SSD) C: drive pointing to anything big data size wise on the mechanical drive. Saves space on the SSD, and still performs blazing fast!Don't be afraid of the SSD. They are getting better, and cheaper!
quote:Intel was rumored to be working on a SandForce based drive for several months now, but even the rumors couldn't encapsulate just how long Intel and SF has worked on this drive. According to Intel, the relationship began 1.5 years ago. Still lacking a 6Gbps controller of their own and wanting to remain competitive with the rest of the market, Intel approached SandForce about building a drive based on the (at the time) unreleased SF-2281 controller. Roughly six months later, initial testing and validation began on the drive. That's right, around the time that OCZ was previewing the first Vertex 3 Pro, Intel was just beginning its extensive validation process.Codenamed Cherryville, Intel's SSD 520 would go through a full year of validation before Intel would sign off on the drive for release. In fact, it was some unresolved issues that cropped up during Intel's validation that pushed Cherryville back from the late 2011 release to today.Intel's strenuous validation will eventually make SandForce's drives better for everyone, but for now the Cherryville firmware remains exclusive. Intel wouldn't go on record with details of its arrangement with SandForce, but from what I've managed to piece together the Intel Cherryville firmware is exclusive for a limited period of time. That exclusivity agreement likely expires sometime after the SF-2281 is replaced by a 3rd generation controller. There are some loopholes that allow SandForce to port bug fixes to general partner firmware but the specific terms aren't public information. The important takeaway is anything fixed in Intel's firmware isn't necessarily going to be fixed in other SF-2281 based drives in the near term. This is an important distinction because although Cherryville performs very similarly to other SF-2281 drives, it should be more reliable.
My "next" build will be with the Mushkin deluxe version. They are now more than $100.00 cheaper than I paid for the non-deluxe!!
WD Black 1TB SATAII running at SATAII speeds vs a Mushkin Deluxe 60GB SSD SATAIII running at SATAII speeds. PC is a Core i5-750 with 6GB of RAM running Windows 7 Pro (WEI 7.3).
That SSD access time would be so wonderful.This is my current raid 0 using 2 Western Digital Black 500GB drives.[att=1]
And now for some benchmarks...
You put it in your laptop? or desktop? If you put it in your desktop. I thought you said your desktop has SATA III ports.
I see you ordered from Amazon already, but Amazon is having a sale on SSDs today only, I just picked up a 240GB Sandisk for $160 with free shipping.They have the 120s for $80. I might just pick one of those up for the wife's laptop.

El Tabador releases special holiday carols album to raise funds for Food Banks Canada
TORONTO, Dec. 17, 2012 /CNW/ - Koodo Mobile, Canada's smart and affordable mobile alternative, has created another creative way to help feed hungry Canadians. Koodo's star spokescharacter, El Tabador, has recorded his very own holiday album, A Merry Mariachi Holiday and for every download and share of the songs, Koodo will make a cash donation to Food Banks Canada to help the fight against hunger. The album of festive carols, featuring original lyrics written and sung by El Tabador himself, is available now for free at www.MerryMariachi.com or on Koodo's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/koodo.
"El Tabador is no stranger to the fight against hunger, but he needs the help of Canadians this holiday season to give it a one-two punch," says Lise Doucet, VP, Marketing and Communications, Koodo Mobile. "This engaging fundraising initiative makes it easy for Canadians to help the fight against hunger. By visiting MerryMariachi.com or our Facebook page, Canadians can help those in need while getting El Tabador's hilarious takes on some holiday classics! It's our way of giving back and saying thanks for making us Canada's most recommended national mobile phone company."
Not only is El Tabador Canada's favourite Luchador and world-class heartthrob, he's adding another notch to his belt as he takes the music industry by storm. A Merry Mariachi Holiday is sure to be a hit with El Tabador's smooth vocals and unique take on old classics including: Silent Fight, O Winter Blows, 12 Days of Regifts, Under Mistletoe and Deck the Pecs. The album is only available until January 6, so get online, download and share the songs while doing some social good at the same time!
"This is a fun and easy way for Canadians to get involved and help the fight against hunger," says Katharine Schmidt, Executive Director, Food Banks Canada. "We're extremely excited that Koodo is putting the small but mighty El Tabador to work for Food Banks Canada once again. We encourage everyone to download A Merry Mariachi Holiday and help make a difference this holiday season."
About Koodo
Koodo Mobile is the smart and affordable Canadian mobile alternative. Launched in 2008, Koodo led a mobility revolution across Canada, with a simple and transparent approach to cellular service including plans that are easy to understand and affordable. Koodo also introduced the world to the revolutionary Tab. Often imitated but never duplicated, the Tab is an alternative to fixed-term contracts that allows customers to put up to $150 of a phone's price on their Tab. Ten per cent of each monthly bill is then credited to the Tab, and existing customers who have paid off their Tab may be eligible to receive any Koodo phone at no additional cost.
In another industry-leading move, Koodo has given long distance the boot with their Canada-wide plans. No more long distance and roaming charges for calls to and from anywhere in Canada. With Koodo, data automatically adjusts to customer's monthly usage which means customers only pay for the data they use.
This innovative approach to affordable mobility has helped Koodo win multiple awards, including being named the 2010 Strategy Brand of the Year - the youngest brand to win this title - and having the 2010 Koodo Sugar Streak campaign be the first ever Canadian campaign selected for Google's 2010 Annual Global Creative Canvas. Most recently Koodo was ranked highest in customer satisfaction among stand alone cell phone carriers in the J.D Power and Associates 2012 Canadian Wireless Total Ownership Experience Study™ and was also named Canada's number one most recommended mobile phone company.

My Favorite Desert Rose Flower
This plant's flowers are beautiful and they don't fade for days on end. She is a beauty! Hope you like her, too.
What a nice deep red color and I like the contrasting white throat.
Thank you! I can't take credit for this one. I bought it at a plant show. From what the vendor said she was a grafted plant.
Here is a picture of the entire plant. She doesn't look so good right now because she was attacked by about 25 oleander caterpillars and they did quite a bit of damage before I noticed and was able to intervene to save some of her leaves. They can eat every leaf on a plant like this in about a day if you don't notice them.
Really nice, def. a "true red" vs. pink that looks red.
I have noticed that the little crawly things love these plants for some reason. A couple of times every year I notice that a team of tiny little crawling things are after mine. Usually, they are yellow. I don't know what they are- have never bothered to find out, but I know how they die... suffocation in insecticidal soap.
sbrow - down here they sell the seedlings for $15 and the grafted plants for $25 typically when they are small plants. Larger plants cost more. I can buy the smaller plants since in this climate they grow fast.
irun5k - the oleander caterpillars are orange and have black hairs sticking out of them. Very characteristic. See the link. When they are younger, they don't have the black hairs but they are definitely orange.
Here is a link that might be useful:
