Making a vineyard warmer
I need to get some pics. done to post here for an example, but over the years, I've added quite a bit of dark sand to my grape garden. I create a mound about 5 feet in diameter and 18 inches high of a mostly sand mixed with topsoil combination, and then I plant the grapevine on the Southwest face. For some folks this would not help the plant, but in our cool maritime region, the SW slope is the warmest spot on the hill, and we are a bit shy on heat accumulation. Wonder what other gimmicks folks are trying out to increase the heat in their gardens short of a greenhouse.
I notice that if I plant a tender perennial close to the house especially on the east or south side, the plants do much better. I think because the west and north wind is blocked. Following that line of reasoning, maybe some sort of wind block would help.
I spoke with my sister who lives on the banks of Lake Superior in Cornecopia, a small town in northern Wisconsin. They had Concord grapes die in their yard because of the extreme cold and drying wind that blew off that Lake in winter.
They replanted with Concord grapes and two other varieties, one white and one red (I don't know the names of these). This time they deliberately chose a site on the east side of their garage. This sheltered spot actually created a warmer micro-climate by blocking the lake winds.
All three grape vines have grown beautifully and when I visited them last fall, the vines were full of grapes!

2013 Lobbying Disclosure:
Observations on Lobbyists' Compliance with Disclosure Requirements
GAO-14-485: Published: May 28, 2014. Publicly Released: May 28, 2014.
Additional Materials:

(202) 512-4749
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
Most lobbyists provided documentation for key elements of their disclosure reports to demonstrate compliance with the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995, as amended (LDA). For lobbying disclosure (LD-2) reports and political contribution (LD-203) reports GAO estimated the following:
Ninety-six percent of newly registered lobbyists filed LD-2 reports as required. Lobbyists are required to file LD-2 reports for the quarter in which they first register.
Ninety-six percent could provide documentation for income and expenses. However, 33 percent of these LD-2 reports were not properly rounded to the nearest $10,000.
Ninety-two percent filed year-end 2012 or midyear 2013 LD-203 reports as required.
Seventeen percent of all LD-2 reports did not properly disclose one or more previously held covered position as required.
Four percent of all LD-203 reports omitted one or more reportable political contributions that were documented in the Federal Election Commission database.
These findings are generally consistent with GAO's reviews from 2010 through 2012 and can be generalized to the population of disclosure reports.
Most lobbyists in GAO's sample rated the terms associated with LD-2 reporting as "very easy" or "somewhat easy" to understand with regard to meeting reporting requirements. However, some disclosure reports demonstrate compliance difficulties, such as failure to disclose covered positions or misreporting of income or expenses. In addition, lobbyists amended 18 of 104 original disclosure reports in GAO's sample to change previously reported information.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia (the Office) stated it has sufficient authority and resources to enforce LD-2 and LD-203 compliance with the LDA for lobbying firms and certain individual lobbyists. It has one contract paralegal working full time and six attorneys working part time on LDA enforcement issues. The Office continues its efforts to follow up on referrals for noncompliance with lobbying disclosure requirements by contacting lobbyists by e-mail, telephone, and letter. In March 2014, the Office filed a civil complaint against a lobbyist for failure to comply with LDA reporting requirements.
GAO's first report on lobbying disclosure under the LDA concluded that the lobbying community could benefit from creating an entity to share examples of best practices, provide training, and report annually on opportunities to clarify guidance and minimize sources of potential confusion for the lobbying community. Given the ongoing difficulties with compliance, GAO continues to believe that such an entity could be useful to the lobbying community.
Why GAO Did This Study
The LDA requires lobbyists to file quarterly lobbying disclosure reports and semiannual reports on certain political contributions. The LDA also requires that GAO annually (1) audit the extent to which lobbyists can demonstrate compliance with disclosure requirements, (2) identify challenges to compliance that lobbyists report, and (3) describe the resources and authorities available to the Office in its role in enforcing LDA compliance and the efforts the Office has made to improve enforcement. This is GAO's seventh report under the mandate.
GAO reviewed a stratified random sample of 104 quarterly disclosure LD-2 reports filed for the third and fourth quarters of 2012 and the first and second quarters of calendar year 2013. GAO also reviewed two random samples totaling 160 LD-203 reports from year-end 2012 and midyear 2013. This methodology allowed GAO to generalize to the population of 65,489 disclosure reports with $5,000 or more in lobbying activity and 31,482 reports of federal political campaign contributions. GAO also met with officials from the Office to obtain updated statuses on the Office's efforts to focus resources on lobbyists who fail to comply.
GAO provided a draft of this report to the Attorney General for review and comment. On behalf of the Attorney General, the Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia responded that the Department of Justice had no comments.

- You Can't Turn Off Freedom
- You can spend billions on AD and PR campaigns to convince the people how good, how ethical, how responsible you are or to justify your crimes and show off the red lines. You can rule and oppress with an iron fist, justify to the oppressed its for the best, its for their stability and the wealth you have was from your responsibility.
But sooner or later the people will wake up, turn on and demand their God given rights of justice and freedom, and best believe when that happens you better run, because you will not be able to turn them off unless they will to turn off.
As for Tunis Egypt Yemen Libya Yemen and Syria, enough is enough, the ones in power better turn off with their trick and lies before they fall off.

My Vodafone App for iPhone, Android & Blackberry.
- edited
I'm getting this error when I try to send a text. I've already tried a power on battery remove reset and trying to register the device under the Hash Routing Table option.
When I try to phone 191 for support it says connections to the number are restricted on my phone. I really have no idea what to do now.
Edit: Should say I have a blackberry curve 9300
Hi Meolox,
Sounds like something definitely isn't right somewhere. Have you tried your SIM in another phone to see if that is able to make/receive calls/texts? If it can't then the problem probably lies somewhere with the number/SIM, and if possible, testing in another area would confirm this. If it works in another phone, put the SIM back in the BlackBerry and see if it will then work in the BlackBerry. If it doesn't, then the problem lies on the BlackBerry phone. In addition to the information you posted, please can you advise on the following
Can you make calls to any number?
Can you receive calls?
Can you receive text messages?
Do you have data connectivity?
Vodafone Outlet offers fantastic deals on brand new devices from our clearance range, and great savings on Nearly New phones and tablets.

Down South is a short film distributed by RKO Radio Pictures, and is the ninth of the twelve Toby the Pup cartoons. The title comes from a 1901 song which is featured in the cartoon. While the film is made at the Mintz studio, some prints of it erroneously feature Van Beuren title cards.
Toby is the pilot of a paddle steamer. One day he docks his boat at a harbor to pick up passengers. As he has to shake hands with just about everyone who comes aboard, Toby struggles to keep a smile on his face.
When the boat finally leaves the harbor, the passengers are treated to some entertainment as the flapper girl in a dainty gown sings the song "Mississippi Mud" at the center of the main deck. Everybody else sings along too, and stomps as well. But as they stomp harder and harder, the boat starts to shake. The shake is so strong that almost everybody, including Toby, gets thrown overboard.
The boat isn't completely vacant as the flapper girl is still on board. Not liking to be alone there, she yells for help. Toby, trailing behind, swims to reach her. The boat then approaches a waterfall but Toby is able to reach it and gets back on board in time. He then moves the paddle wheels from the sides to the front. As the boat reaches the edge of the waterfall, the paddle wheels at the front work like aircraft propellers, enabling it to fly. Relieved of her troubles, the flapper girl kisses Toby.

My Peace Lily got cold!
I've had my Peace Lily for over 6 years....got so big I had to divide it a few years ago. Both plants were doing very well until I put them on the enclosed front porch where it was too cold for them. (about 40 degrees) I noticed the next morning they have both drooped so I brought them back indoors where it's a lot warmer. Will they retrun to normal again, or, have I killed them off??? I would hate to loose them, they have done so well over the years! Any suggestions???
Time will tell. Let us know, in the next few days, how they do. I will tell you this, even if some of the leaves eventually yellow, it doesn't mean that the whole plant will die. Cut the yellowing leaves off and see if the plants grow more healthy foliage.
I have a peace Lilly that some one was going to trash.It was in her garage for a few weeks in the cold and that was about 2 months ago. So the temp was about 30â then. Well it was all droopy, dry and looked like it should of been trashed. But I watered it a little and its great now. I cut off all the dead leaves. Good luck!
Hi Rhizo....:)
Joy, frostbitten leaves are greyish/black.
40F is pushing it...It's a miracle the PL Cgh adopted from the garage didn't die at 30F.
Since both PL's were enclosed, (porch/garage) walls protected plants from freezing/cold wind chill.
If the soil had been wet, in all probability PL's would have developed root rot. Especially @ 30.

New flavour: Consumer health consciousness levels have prompted product innovation
IBISWorld's Frozen Pizza Production market research report can be used to help you: understand market size and growth potential; major companies; draft business plans and pitch books; and conduct benchmarking and SWOT analysis. Our industry analysis highlights macro industry trends in the overall sector and micro trends faced by companies that do business in the industry. The industry report also provides key industry statistics and 5-year forecasts to anticipate future industry prospects so you can decide with confidence.
Demand for the Frozen Pizza Production industry has cooled over the past five years. In the early part of the period, competition from imported pizzas hindered growth in domestic production. Downturns in industry revenue were fought off by product innovation, aimed at increasing the customer base and overcoming external competition. As a result, industry revenue is expected to grow by a compound annual 2.0% over the five years through 2014-15. However, increased competition has reduced the average price and profit margins for the industry. Following growth of 1.8% in 2014-15, industry sales are expected to be worth $178.5 million.
The greatest challenge for the industry comes from pizza's image as junk food, and an unhealthy dining option... purchase to read more
The Frozen Pizza Production industry has a moderate level of capital intensity. Over the past five years, the level of capital intensity has increased, as processes have become more automated. IBISWorld estimates that for every dollar invested in capital, the industry spends $4.58 on labour.
Labour requirements have become more technical and less manual, as staff required to run the operations of the business and machinery have replaced the manual labour previously used. In addition, technology has developed significantly throughout food-processing industries over the past five years, with a growing number of food processors using new vacuum-packing technologies and modified-atmosphere packaging... purchase to read more

Osteoarthritis: The Rheumatologist's Perspective

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and is a major cause of morbidity, limitation of physical activity, and health care utilization, especially in people aged 45 and above [1]. OA has been defined as "… a progressive disease of synovial joints that represents failed repair of joint damage. This ultimately results in the breakdown of cartilage and bone, leading to symptoms of pain, stiffness, and functional disability" [2]. The term "degenerative joint disease (DJD)" should not be used by health care practitioners to describe this entity; it is a misnomer and suggests to patients that nothing can be done for their condition. Thus, OA can be considered as a disease characterized by structural abnormalities at the joint level and an illness defined by a person's symptoms [2]. The symptoms that characterize knee OA include frequent pain, aching or discomfort, stiffness, fatigue, and sleep disturbance. These symptoms result in functional limitations leading ...

every album on this site that has come out in 2013 so far is apparently excellent
Not better than Outer Isolation!
For now, i strongly agree. Still listening to this.
For those that havent:
Most addictive thrash album ever. No doubt.
Now we only need a Voivod review to close the circle.
Album Rating: 4.5This band is just awesome after all these years!
Album Rating: 4.5Hot damn is this ever so fucking awesome. Loving this album!
I really can't get past the vocals
Digging: The Delicious Bread Collection - We Have No Fucking Clue What We're Doing
Album Rating: 3.8 | Sound OffThey're an acquired taste. If you're into the music, try Anacrusis. Their first four albums are free on their website.
Don't like the band but I have to say that art is really eye grabbing
Music good, art work bad.
Album Rating: 4.0Very good review
I never ever would have imagined Voivod return to the old glory days.
Amazing album, stands right beside Nothingface and Angel Rat.
Artwork is also great, got myself the limited Boxset, including the Live at Roadburn CD, really worth every penny!
Or Nothingface.
given how much i love Vektor i should really listen to these guys more than i do
The bass saves this from being a 2.5
Album Rating: 4.5listen to nothingface and dimension hatross theyre even better
So this is the best thing this band has ever done, ever. And "Warchaic" is just a fucking prog thrash masterpiece, especially the riffing half way into the song. Probably gonna up the rating, I can't get enough of this album.
Well, all of my predictions were right, just saw the cd art and from there i could predict the quality of the album...Tottaly hated,couldnt even listen to one whole song, garbage,at all.This is my oppinion.
I think this is a good album but people are definitely overrating it
Album Rating: 3.8 | Sound Off
Album Rating: 4.5I think this is a good album but people are definitely overrating it
I think you're lying to yourself.
Album Rating: 3.8 | Sound OffThose all sound like good ideas.
Album Rating: 4.0A few years back I was lucky enough to see these guys open for Down (should have been the other way around imo). I was leery of what they would be like without Piggy, but the new guitarist really killed it and seemed like a legitimate part of the band. It's even more exciting to see that Daniel Morgrain is a kick-ass song writer as well as a dynamic performer.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings Milwaukee Bucks fans the latest news, notes and analysis
Bonner "en fuego" for Spurs
San Antonio - Matt Bonner can shoot.
The Milwaukee Bucks know that, and so does every opposing team in the NBA. But doing something about it? Now that can be difficult.
The red-headed Spurs reserve scored a season-high 23 points on 7-of-10 shooting (6 of 8 from three-point distance) in San Antonio's 112-98 victory over the Bucks. Every time the Bucks would threaten to close the gap, Bonner would swish a long-range shot.
"Matt Bonner was "en fuego" tonight," teammate Roger Mason said. "I was just trying to get him as many passes as possible because it looked like every shot was going in. He doesn't move on his jump shot - he catches and shoots.
"It's something that's quicker and it's hard to contest that."
With Tim Duncan scoring in the paint and Bonner roaming beyond the three-point arc, the Bucks were unable to contain the Spurs. San Antonio coasted to a second straight lopsided victory while the Bucks lost by their widest margin (14 points) of the season.
"Danny (Gadzuric) was doing a good job of getting in front of him (Duncan)," Bucks coach Scott Skiles said. "The problem is when they brought Bonner in.
"We went to playing behind Tim a little bit at that point because we were trying to stay with Bonner on the perimeter. We ended up not doing a good enough job at either one. Bonner got loose on us on the perimeter, and Tim went down low and scored."

White House Senior Director for Cybersecurity Ari Schwartz, shown here at a 2011 House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing, talked with FCW about whether legislation can reinforce and complement White House cyber-policy goals. (Photo: House Oversight and Government Reform Committee)
FCW recently sat down with Ari Schwartz, senior director for cybersecurity at the White House, to discuss a critical juncture for cybersecurity policy -- namely, whether congressional action can reinforce and complement White House policy goals. The following are edited excerpts of the interview.
FCW: What is at the top of your legislative wish list, something that Congress can accomplish that your office cannot?
Schwartz: If I had to prioritize, [data-breach legislation] is the one I would pick. It is a key issue. It's one that different parts of the administration have supported. I think we've heard it from the Justice Department, from the Commerce Department, from the White House itself, [and] the [Federal Trade Commission]. So I think there's been wide support for data-breach legislation.
The problem on the Hill for that particular bill is jurisdiction. So they have to find a way to unite. [The Senate Judiciary Committee] has a bill that is different than [the Senate Commerce Committee's] bill, and they have different agencies and focuses of who should take the lead and how they should go about doing it, in both the Senate and the House. I think it's solvable, but it would take prioritizing the issue.
On information sharing, which is also a priority for us and something that's in front of the Hill right now, the problem is getting the right language and figuring out some of the more difficult pieces of it.
FCW: How closely do you conference with Capitol Hill on these different cyber bills?
Schwartz: We have gone up before, especially when we've seen things that they need to know about. But they usually come to us and say, "We have a bill," or "We want to talk about this issue with you."
FCW: Are you happy with the amount of communication on the issue between your office and Congress?
Schwartz: Yes. When we have [a cyber] incident, it's completely bipartisan. And when something happens, we reach out to leadership in both the House and Senate.
FCW: Are there members of Congress raising significant privacy issues that you have to contend with?
Schwartz: There have been a lot of privacy concerns about the information-sharing legislation. You see it from someone like [Sens.] Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), [Dick] Durbin (D-Ill.), [Al] Franken (D-Minn.). There are some, like [Sen. Rand] Paul (R-Ky.) and others, on the libertarian side.
FCW: In pursuing your cyber policy goals, how do you decide when to go it alone with an executive order and when to seek legislation?
Schwartz: There are a number of barriers that stand before us on information sharing, and we've been asking, particularly the private-sector entities we work with, to help us prioritize those. And then we can go look at them one at a time and figure out which of those we can address through executive authority.
In legislative discussion, people say, "Well, let's just knock [out all the issues] at the same time." But that hasn't been working. So then the question is, how we can look at this in a way that we can come to agreement about some subset of it?
FCW: So do you assess cybersecurity sector by sector to see if executive authority or legislation is more effective?
Schwartz: It's more, "Tell us what are the barriers that you're seeing." So everyone was telling us [it was antitrust]. There were people who told us, "Antitrust is our number one concern."
FCW: That probably didn't surprise you.
Schwartz: It surprised the Justice Department more than me, because I had heard it from a bunch of people. They [DOJ] basically tried to find out who had been saying that and were not able to figure that out. And we were able to finally bring people together, have this discussion about what they wanted to see, and then brought that to the Justice Department, Justice Department brought it to the [Federal Trade Commission], and we were able to get this guidance out the door.
[Some firms] are really comfortable with [the guidance] now. Companies that were most hesitant are actually some of the biggest supporters of that guidance.
[That guidance] shows the direction that we're heading in general in this space because rather than trying to solve every problem having to do with information sharing, we're going to solve individual problems at this point because that's what we can do under existing authority.
FCW: How do you balance the pressing need to hire federal cybersecurity hands with ensuring you are getting top talent?
Schwartz: We need [cyber expertise] at every level. There are jobs that are right for people who can pass certificate programs, people who can pass two-year colleges to do cybersecurity. There are people who are going to be four-year specialists, there are going to be people with master's degrees in cybersecurity. So we are seeing the wide range of different types of options out there.
Obviously, there are not many people that can fill those [high-level] slots. However, it does open up a chain where there are more jobs available lower down. So people are going to get opportunities to prove themselves, and I think a lot of people are going to want to get in this field.
The problem on the Hill for [data-breach legislation] is jurisdiction. So they have to find a way to unite.
FCW: Do you think the government can compete with the private sector in hiring cybersecurity experts?
Schwartz: There's probably more diversity of jobs in the federal government than in the private sector. I also think that federal government jobs come with a lot of benefits.
That's not to say that we're going to win every competition between the private sector and the public sector, but as someone who was in the private sector for many years and came into the government, I think a lot of people would like to be in the federal government.
FCW: Your job title includes the subject of privacy. How are privacy protections built into an issue like continuous monitoring?
Schwartz: It's about making sure that the information being shared is about the threat and not just the bulk information. In most cases, you don't need to have the detailed information about threat actors in place.
FCW: Which office of the White House led your response to the Heartbleed OpenSSL vulnerability, and how would you assess that response?
Schwartz: The Office of Management and Budget was the lead in the White House, and we worked very closely with them because we had threat information and some expertise that they didn't have. But OMB and DHS worked together very closely on it.
FCW: Does the Heartbleed threat make you want to work more closely with the open-source community? How do you ensure that your security efforts are as inclusive of that community as possible?
Schwartz: I think we need to figure that out, how to get [the discussion] wide enough. I've been having some discussions with some of the people who are in the Linux group [and with] other researchers to try to talk to them about the problems that they see and how we can get information about them sooner.
But there might be a way to take [those discussions] a level up. None of this has been done before.

The story of the keyboard begins with ancient hieroglyphs and reaches to the very recent, committee-designed Euro symbol. This text tells the story of each character on the computer keyboard, as well as the multitude of additional marks that cannot be found on the keys but can still be typed by anyone using a computer. Drwaings, poems and notes are used to tell where the keyboard's quirky layout came from and to illustrate the history of each letter, number, sign and symbol we encounter in everyday written communication.

Sunday turned out to be a much longer day than planned for a group of hikers from the Los Angeles area. Their moderately difficult ascent of 14,035-foot Mt. Langley took a serious turn when a knee injury left one of the group unable to walk.
Mark Kuckelman, 56, of Long Beach suffered a twisted knee just 30 minutes into the descent from LangleyŌĆÖs summit. With a 10-mile hike and 4,000 vertical feet of descent ahead of them, the group, Bill Rudnisky, 32, Jeff Logan, 26 and Brian Hay, 26, along with Kuckelman, pondered the choices.

Visitors hoping to see some of the oldest living plants on the planet now have a brand-new visitor center to welcome them and introduce them to the Bristlecone Pine Forest.
Inyo National Forest Supervisor Ed Armenta announced last week that the long-anticipated opening of the new Bristlecone Pine Forest Visitor Center has been scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 1.
A grand opening celebration is slated to take place at Schulman Grove with music starting at 1 p.m. and the formal ceremony at 2 p.m.
In response to escalating statistics, Bishop California Highway Patrol will offer several Drive Smart program classes for young adults and senior citizens, free classes which are designed to lower vehicular collision-related injuries and fatalities.
The Lone Pine Memorial Plunge celebrates the end of summer and the installation of a brand-new water slide with free fun, food and floats for the whole family.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve done this (party) every year for about eight years or so,ŌĆØ swim instructor and pool manager Charles James said.
This yearŌĆÖs Tri-County Fair organizers have made lemonade from the several hundred thousand lemons handed down by the State of California.
Faced with a growing funding gap roughly equivalent to what it spends every year to put on an end-of-summer party for Eastern Sierra residents and visitors, the Tri-County Fair was faced with an all-too common choice: adapt or die.

The International Finance Corporation, the private-arm sector of the World Bank,
made its first investments in an Israeli technology company on Monday. It came
less than two weeks after its first investment in the country, and the IFC
promised more to come."This is a bellwether," IFC global head of venture
capital Nikunj Jinsi told The Jerusalem Post. "I'd be very surprised if we
didn't have more similar investments in the next 12 to 24
months."Because its mandate is to fuel development, in the past the IFC
only invested in Israeli companies operating abroad in developing
countries.The recent acquisitions in Israel, however, are a result of
Israel's surge in development-related technology relating to food security,
water security and access to energy."It's symptomatic of what we hope to
do going forward in Israel," Jinsi said. "For the first time we see a trend
where Israeli companies are looking at emerging markets from an end-user
perspective, so I expect IFC will play a larger role in the coming
years."DiViNetworks, which announced its IFC investment on Monday,
reduces the cost of Internet access through the cloud. Making the Internet more
accessible to the poor is a growing factor in economic development; DiViNetworks
is already deployed in 21 developing countries."DiViNetworks equips ISPs
with means to bring global data into their network in the most efficient,
costeffective and controllable way," DiViNetworks executive vice president for
products Yair Shapira said.IFC made its first investment in Israel on
September 3, helping to fund Kaiima Bio-Agritech, a seed-and-breeding technology
company that multiplies plant genomes without compromising their
integrity."By 2050, farmers will be tasked to produce 70 percent more
food than they do today to sustain the growing world population," Kaiima CEO
Doron Gal said. "This is a daunting challenge that modern agricultural
technology must rise up to meet."Technological innovations can help meet
the fast-growing demand for food, which is greatest in emerging
markets.In addition to getting a good investor, companies that secure
IFC funding also get support and the prestige of its seal of
approval."I'd like to think that IFC brings more to the table than
money, like market access and other financial instruments further down the
road," Jinsi said.

commercial property for rent or lease in Shenandoah (PA), Industrial Space For Lease.
Shenandoah commercial real estate for lease, rent, and leased investments.
Find Shenandoah industrial buildings for lease, retail rentals, & Shenandoah shops. Locate a Shenandoah warehouse lease and any real estate for lease / investment, including industrial properties to rent and sale.
As companies grow they must either relocate and sometimes extend their existing lease, and as information technology advances, they inescapably have to deal with landlords with far more experience with commercial properties. The absence of defining the lease requirements at an early stage can lead to confusion and time delays. Employing an experienced Shenandoah broker will ensure business owners being made aware of all the areas available in a local market and remove much of the unnecessary issues.

Survey of Financial Pay in the Manufacturing Industry
This information comes from a recent survey of employees in the manufacturing field conducted by Dr. Steven Langer, President of Abbott, Langer & Associates, Inc., Crete, IL.
Three hundred and fourteen firms participated in the survey report, supplying pay data for over 53,000 managerial, supervisory, sales, engineering, technical, clerical, and blue-collar employees. This resulted in the eight-volume report Compensation in Manufacturing, 25th Edition - 2005. Copies of the report are available for $1,495.00 from Abbott, Langer & Associates, Inc., Dept. NR, 548 First Street, Crete, IL 60417 (telephone 708/672-4200; fax 708/672-4674; http://www.abbott-langer.com. [1] The Findpay Program (which permits the user to determine pay levels of each survey job on the basis of two or more variables simultaneously) is available at $3,495.00 for software and printed report or $2,495.00 for software only. An eight-volume companion report, Compensation in Smaller Manufacturing Firms (those with under 250 employees), is available for $795.00. Each volume of both reports may be purchased separately.
Other financial jobs surveyed have the following middle 50 percent ranges:
- Corporate Controllers, $73,508 - $108,872
- Cost Accounting Managers, $62,273 - $82,545
- General Accounting Managers, $53,893 - $73,485

Cummings Electronic and Digital Sound Studio Facilities
The Cummings Electronic and Digital Sound Studio boasts 6 modern Mac workstations that are connected to the College network. All machines run Pro Tools and Max/MSP through the latest version of Digidesign. All workstations are connected to at least one synthesizer, a MIDI keyboard, a 16 channel digital mixing board, and a pair of high-quality studio monitors (loudspeakers). CD duplicating and printing equipment is available.
We teach on the Roland XV-5050 synthesizer, a powerful, fully programmable, multi-timbral synth. We have many other synthesizers, samplers, and effects processors available, as well as a variety of microphones appropriate for recording a wide variety of sources.
Pro Tools is the industry standard in multi-track recording and editing. Our Digidesign hardware is high quality, offering crystal clear sound on 8 inputs and 8 outputs.
Max/MSP is a graphical programming environment for audio projects. It works with both audio data and MIDI, allowing for it to be used to build and implement a wide variety of ideas, projects, and tools, ranging from digitally constructing a dynamic range compressor, to creating an entirely new and customizable digital instrument. Max/MSP is much easier to learn and work with than a lower level programming language such as C++ or even Java. Much more about Max/MSP is available from Cycling 74.
Sibelius is a musical notation program, allowing a high level of customization over musical scores, which is fully integrated into Pro Tools.

True TS49 and TS35 - Install in new Construction House???
This is a cross post.
Ok so we are just at the Hvac and Electrical stage of my build. My plan was to put in a 33" all refrigerator in the kitchen. And a similar sized freezer in a large pantry off the kitchen. Anyway I found a guy who is selling is 6 year old True TS49 and TS35 for $1500.
He has them on remote compressor. Since I am building new this is easy to accommodate. There is no room for them in the "kitchen stadium" so they will both go in the pantry. Oddly enough it will still create a working triangle If I keep my prep sink where it is and move the dishwashing one to the other end.
I would not normally buy a refrigerator this big, but the price is so cheap. So should I have any reservations about this regarding placement in the pantry? Also is this a good price? Will they be energy drainers?
Think I just answered my own question with this post. So this is a no-go for me!

"A friend of mine has met with an accident and is presently undergoing an operation. We urgently need 10 units of A+ blood group. Please contact 9999999999."
"Help. Urgently need blood at Metro Hospital for a 2 yr old baby. Donors please contact 9999999999."
Delete. Delete.
5 days ago it was a normal Sunday morning till we received a phone call. A relative of mine staying in Delhi passed out due to acute stomach pain. She did not come around for quite some time and started growing pale. She was taken to the nearest hospital. We rushed from the other end of the city.
Tests revealed a tumor in the uterus. Operation was suggested and we were asked to arrange for blood. I was the first donor. Another relative followed suit. We were told that if more blood is required then we would be informed. During the operation, 10 more units were used. Post operation, she was shifted to the ICU.
At 11pm, the hospital pressed the panic button. The patient's Blood Pressure had started falling and AB+ blood platelets immediately needed. We drew blank, then quickly posted requests in several Facebook accounts and also sent group messages in Whatsapp.
People called up from Hyderabad and as far as Trivandrum, expressing their willingness to fly down to donate. Locals rushed to the hospital as soon as they could. I am sure all of them have earlier passed through the stressful moments of any relative's or friend's life hanging in a thread for want of blood and that results in their willingness to not let anyone else face similar ordeal. Hats off !
I never knew there are so many noble souls around us. Now I understood the mental state of people who sent out requests for blood donation, which I deleted without even reading them completely.
I closed my eyes in reverence and said, "Give me Red". Red – in the form of gratefulness. Red – in the form of love for others. Red- in the form of strength to reciprocate the nobility.
Give me Red !!

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have recently celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary. The much-celebrated couple of the Hollywood fraternity is reported to be expecting another bundle of joy. OK! Magazine has claimed that Garner is pregnant with her fourth child. The magazine cover says, "Jen's pregnant. After months of counseling Jen and Ben get ready for Baby no 4."
Garner and Affleck are proud parents of three children. Just two years back the couple welcomed baby boy, Samuel, in their family and now it seems that they are ready to add another one.
The 42-year-old actress was recently spotted with what looked like a baby bump. On July 18, she was seen hitting the streets of New York while wearing a grey dress with little belly bump, as per the Hollywoodlife reports.
Though there is no confirmation to these reports, the pregnancy conjectures have soared amidst Jen and Ben's alleged marriage woes reports. There has been a strong inference that Affleck has been undergoing card game addiction, which in turn has led to issues between the couple. Garner has been trying to make Affleck happy and her getting pregnancy is understood to be a step towards it.
"They've been going through a very rough patch," a source told the magazine, adding, "Jen will do anything to make Ben happy."
It is also being said that Affleck has always wanted to have another child. Garner suggested in one her interviews that the "Man of Steel" actor has always wished for another sibling for Violet, 8, Seraphina, 5, and Samuel, 2.
"The fact that Ben wants another is true," the actress told Momtastic during the 2012 premiere of her film, "The Odd Life Of Timothy Green."
However, that time Garner did not share the same thought process as of Affleck.
"I can tell you that would be a pretty uphill battle with me. I am not anticipating having any more kids!" said Garner.
Garner and Affleck's reps are yet to comment on the pregnancy reports.

"R is for Romance"
I've listened to the first part and am so far underwhelmed. The plot development is SO slow as to be embarrassing. It's almost as though Grafton has become a romance novelist. Without giving away what plot there is, you will have to find the idea of embezzlement from a CPA's point of view exciting to believe there is any action in the book. If the next book is as bad, I'd say title it, "S is for Stop"

Seattle Real-Time Show Trip Report
This was a small, table-top show with around 50 exhibitors. The first exhibitor I talked to was LynuxWorks. Being a Linux company this was an easy place to start.
After giving them some copies of ELJ to hand out I moved along to ADLINK Technology America, a board manufacturer. I talked at length to Steven Neo, their VP of Marketing. Turns out that ADLINK is very Linux-friendly and we even dreamed up an interesting deal for LJ readers that you should hear about in a month or two.
My confidence up, I talked to virtually all of the other vendors. The general response varied from "we have customers using our hardware with Linux" to "yes, we have Linux running right here in the booth". With those vendors even including Sun microsystems I see a bright future for embedded Linux and Embedded Linux Journal
