MULTIPLE CI-IROMATOGRAPIIIC COLUMN SYSTEM BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The subject matter of the present invention is generally related to a device for performing pressurized column chromatography and more particularly a multiple chromatographic column system which will provide reliable pressurized multiple column chromatography.
2. Description of the Prior Art Pressure chromatography is presently carried out by securing the column, usually on a burette stand, and
applying pressure to the column by subjecting it to air from a laboratory flowmeter and discontinuing the flow of air when sufficient pressure has been achieved to yield adequate solvent flow through the column. Therefore, the actual pressure inside the column is never constant, thus the chromatographic parameters are continually changing and the reliability of the chro- I SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Briefly, the present invention is a multiple chromatographic column system comprising a multiple station column cabinet and a multiple outlet two stage pressure manifold. The system provides a reliable device which will perform pressurized multiple column chromatography. I
STATEMENT OF THE OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION A primary object of the present invention is to provide a multiple chromatographic system which will provide a reliable method of performing pressurized column chromatography on a mass production basis.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a device which precisely provides constant chromatographic parameters thus making chromatographic procedures more convenient, efficient and reliable.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a multiple chromatographic system which increases the productivity of a chromatographic system operation.
Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is an isometric illustration of the multiple chromatographic column system and particularly showing the multiple station column cabinet and the multiple outlet pressure manifold.
.umn of the multiple chromatographic column system illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the multiple chromatographic column system is generally comprised of multiple outlet pressure manifold system 11 and multiple station column cabinet 13. The present column system illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 is limited to three chromatographic columns I-III; however, it is obvious that the number (n) of outlets could be unlimited.
Cabinet 13 is comprised of vertical support 15, manifold mounting brackets 17, shelf 19a, keyway 19b, and lower shelf 21. Shelf 19a functions as a positioning support guide for the pressure columns I-III and/or n. Lower shelf 21 is preferably made adjustable to allow clearance for various beaker configurations and effluent collection tubes. Pressure manifold system 11 may be secured to mounting brackets 17 by any number of 'well known mounting methods.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 and particularly to FIG. 2, pressure manifold system 11 is connected to an air pressure source S via air line 23 which is connected to adapter 25. Adapter 25 is coupled to filter regulator 27. Filter regulator 27 may include, if desired, a line pressure gauge 27A to measure the line air pressure from source S. Filter regulator 27 is a standard filter regulator and provides effective filtration as well as controlled pressure. a B02 Norgren Filter-Regulator or the like may be used. Filter regulator 27 is operatively coupled to manifold line-29. Manifold line 29 is formed by interposing conduit pipes 29A between standard pipe tees 31, 33, and ,35. The distal end of the last tee should be plugged. On/off needle valves 43, 45 and 47 are respectively connected to tees 31, 33 and 35 via reducers 37, 39 and 41. Reducers 37, 39 and 41 are preferably from about one-fourth inch to about one-half inch for proper air pressure maintenance; however, these measurements may vary depending on the specific operative limits desired. On/off needle valves 43, 45 and 47 provide the proper flow/no flow conditions to the individual columns I-n. Moreover, needle valves 43, 45 and 47 provide for independent as well as simultaneous operation of the individual columns .In. Secondary regulators -49, 51, and 53 are operatively coupled to needle valves 43, 45, and 47 respectively. Secondary regulators 49, 51, and 53 can be a Type R06 Norgren device which is a standard pressure relief secondary regulation device. Adapters 49A, 51A and 53A may be included in the system to measure column air pressure. A pressure gauge 57 such as a magnehelic gauge may be individually operatively coupled to each adapter to test the individual system column pressure for columns I-n if desired. Secondary regulators 49, 51, and 53 are operatively coupled to standard needle bleed valves 65, 67, and 69 via pipe tees 59, 61, and 63 respectively. Needle bleed valves 65, 67, and 69 allow for bleeding off the system pressure in the individual columns I-n if desired. The needle valves also allow the operator to bleed the internal pressure of each column I-n when the manifold needle valves are in the off position.
Referring again to FIG. 2, pressure tubings 77, 79 and 81 are connected to the distal ends of tees 59, 6 1,
and 63 via hose connectors 71, 73 and 75. These pressure tubings 77, 79 and 81 are connected to pressure columns 83, 85 and 87 which will be described below. Since columns 83, 85 and 87 are structually and functionally similar, then a description of one column will be deemed to apply to all of the columns I-n.
Referring to FIG. 3 pressure column (83, 85, and 87) is generally comprised of reservoir 89, column stem 91, threaded sector 93, seal 95, hollow adapter 97, filler cap 99, stop cock 102 and spout 105. Pressure column(s) (83, 85, 87) provides a reservoir for both the mobile phase gas liquid or solid as well as the stationary phase, gas, liquid or solid.
For purposes of illustration a mobile phase solvent and a stationary phase gel is used; however, the function of the unique multiple chromatographic column system would not be limited to the use of these particular constituents. Adapter 97 fits into the aperture located in filler cap 99. Seal 95, also having an aperture, is placed between hollow threaded section 93 and aligned with the base of adapter 97. Seal 95 and I adapter 97 are held in place by filler cap 99. The proinfiltrate the disc 101. Any standard sintered glass material will suffice for this specific type of filtration process. I
A teflon mesh disc 101A may be superimposed over the surface area of disc 101 to prevent destruction of porous chromatographic beads which may be used in ion exchange and gel permeation chromatographic processes.
To initiate operation of one of the columns the operator will initiate the main air supply, adjust the manifold pressure system by setting the main filter-regulator 27to about -15 p.s.i., open one of the needle valves 1 from manifold line 29 to the individual regulators. Fi-
nally, set the individual air regulators until the desired solvent flow is achieved.
To discontinue solvent flow close needle valve of the individual regulator(s) and momentarily crack the corresponding bleed valve to release the internal column pressure. 3 The system supplies an adjustable and a constant pressure to drive chromatographic columns. This system provides constant chromatographic parameters thus making chromatographic procedures more convenient, more efficient, and more reliable. In addition, this device makes it possible for one operator to simultaneously operate any number of chromatographic columns utilizing only one laboratory air outlet. This system greatly increases an operators productivity and provides a cost effective procedure. The danger to the column packing due to overpressurization is now eliminated.
Miniaturization of system 11 may be possible. The two-stage pressure manifold may be constructed of something other than brass fittings (i.e., nylon tubing and POLY-FLO connectors for cost reduction). Alternative construction materials for the cabinet necessitate that it provide unobstructed view of the column packing and must be impervious to organic solvents. The system functions to force the mobile phase material into stationary material under controlled pressure as well as volume.
What is claimed is:
1. A chromatographic column system for forcing a mobile phase material through a stationary phase material comprising:
a. an air source;
b. said air source connected to the input of a primary regulator;
c. the output of said regulator connected to the input of a manifold;
d. the output of said manifold connected to the input of at least one on/off needle valve;
e. the output of said at least one on/off needle valve connected to at least one secondary regulator;
f. the output of said at least one secondary regulator connected both to at least one needle bleed valve and to at least one pressure column;
g. the output of said at least one pressure column connected to at least one filter;
h. the pressure in said at least one pressure column is maintained on or about a constant value; and
i. said at least one on/off needle valve, said at least one secondary regulator, said at least one needle bleed valve, said at least one pressure column, and said at least one filter respectively comprise a plurality of on/off needle valves, a plurality of secondary regulators, a plurality of needle bleed valves, a plurality of pressure columns and a plurality of filters.

Everyday lives in conflict-ridden Aleppo

Several Indonesians have been killed and thousands displaced by deadly floods in Indonesia's capital.
More than 10,000 Indonesians have fled their homes in the capital due to flooding that has left five dead, an official said on Sunday, with people using rubber dinghies and wading through waist-deep water to reach safer ground.
"So far 10,530 people in Jakarta have been displaced by floods caused by heavy rains," disaster agency official Tri Budiarto said.
Buildings in some parts of the capital, which has a population of 10 million and is regularly afflicted by floods during the six-month rainy season, were half submerged, with roads blocked in many areas.
The floods have subsided but houses were wrecked, and furniture and belongings were damaged, so people have not been able to return
Christian Laotongan, disaster agency chief, Sulawesi
Five people have so far been killed in the past week due to flooding, officials have said previously.
Budiarto confirmed the toll and said those killed had either died by drowning or being electrocuted.
However the floods were yet to reach the same level as last year when the central business district was left under water.
Sulawesi damage
On the archipelago's northern Sulawesi island the death toll from flash floods and landslides rose to 19.
Around 40,000 people were still displaced following flash floods and landslides on the island earlier in the week, local disaster agency chief Christian Laotongan said.
"The floods have subsided but houses were wrecked, and furniture and belongings were damaged, so people have not been able to return," he added.
Rescuers on Saturday recovered the body of a woman from a landslide in Tomohon city, Laotongan said, bringing the death toll in the area to 19.
Indonesia is regularly affected by deadly floods and landslides during its wet season. Environmentalists blame logging and a failure to reforest denuded land for exacerbating the floods.

Plz ban trollers,leavers,unskilled peoples account forever!!!!!!! Especially people who does it in rank game!!!!!!!!omfg im about to rage quit this game cus of them!
There are many people out there that will also rage quit like me. so if LoL doesnt want to lose people to play this game,i recommand riots to ban all those feeders trollers and unskilled people FOREVER
well i can take out unskilled player but at least feeders and trolls

But wouldn't you be the first to get banned?
0We all get banned i think and Riot goes to charity curch to get food =)
do the tribunal, do some work yourself before telling riot to do it for you.
Ban all idiots and mad kids accounts forever, its these kids that think because someone gave first blood that its gg. I've come back from a 5v5 that was 72-22 before, ive also come back from 0-10 defecits within 15 minutes. I can understand wanting to ban someone for trolling, but someone who is unskilled is trying to learn the ****ed game and you are obviously neglecting to tell them how to play.
Banning people for unskilled is both arrogant, pompous, and sad. Not everyone is great at this game, and chances are if you're in the 1300 range still yourself, you have no room to speak. Want to stop coming across people who are unskilled? Do the marvelous thing, go make some friends so you can go play in a pre-made and avoid those 'unskilled' teammates.

Good game
I had seen all the average to negative reviews this game received, but I decided to try it anyway....and I think it's pretty good. Nice graphics, fun gameplay and an interesting story. It's also optimized extremely well. It kind of reminds me of Binary Domain, another underrated third person shooter.
I thought the same way as you, until I realised what a P.O.S this game really is.

I thought the same way as you, until I realised what a P.O.S this game really is.
Can you explain? I think I'm still early in the game, so maybe it gets worse.
Well, to be honest, I was actually enjoying it. It was one of the bosses towards the end of the game that finally made me snap. So yeah, just ignore my post. Was just a rage-post.
Was it the boss that's standing above the lava, fires rockets at you, and after you damage him enough he leaves and you have to kill a group of Lutadores?And you have to repeat this process about four or fives times? If that's the boss you're referring to trying to beat him on even the Normal difficulty was like being dragged through the pits of Hell.

No it wasn't that, it was the slave driver, the second battle against him. I was playing on normal difficulty too. Looking at a faq, guess I wasn't as far into the game as I thought I was.
That boss fight was a ***** too. It's wasn't so much the waves of enemies or the strength of the Slave Drivers' attacks, it was the one-hit kill slaves with the explosives strapped to them. If they got any where near you you were dead.

I can understand why you guys might think that people who get engaged after a short period of time are stupid but I think we all need to remember that it is a case case scenario. My mum and dad got engaged after 3 months and have been married for 25 years or so. Me and my boyfriend got engaged after 8 months and that was in late 2011, we set the date for 2014, after we finish University. I guess it just depends on the scenarios and how loyal and level headed people are in relationships. Most people in relationships at our age are ******* retards tbf.

While I don't really dispute people getting engaged early (I mean, hey, you get engaged whenever you want, don't let anyone stop you), I always thought that if you're theoretically going to be with someone the rest of your life, then you might as well wait 10 years or so before getting married. I mean, you'd be together anyway, it wouldn't really change much.
Just a thought.

Gov't D.A.R.E. Program Causes Kid to Narc on Parents & Send Them to Jail
MATTHEWS, NC — Two parents are facing drug charges after their child took their drugs to school and told a school officer his parents were breaking the law. The 11-year-old student is in 5th grade at a an elementary school in Matthews. Police say he brought his parents' marijuana cigarettes to school when he reported them. Matthews Police say he reported his parents after a lesson about marijuana was delivered by a police officer who is part of the D.A.R.E. program, which teaches kids about the dangers of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. "Even if it's happening in their own home with their own parents, they understand that's a dangerous situation because of what we're teaching them," said Matthews Officer Stason Tyrrell. That's what they're told to do, to make us aware."
Trauma-Based Mind Control
Tim Boucher wrote back in 2005:
… Read the rest
As far as I understand it (which admittedly is nothing close to first-hand experience), trauma-based mind control is kind of similar to the whole favorite-album phenomenon. The idea is basically that you condition the mind according to certain stimuli. When you experience a sensory trigger, a correlated interior state is achieved. The most common example of this is called Classical or Pavlovian Conditioning:
Classical Conditioning is the type of learning made famous by Pavlov's experiments with dogs. The gist of the experiment is this: Pavlov presented dogs with food, and measured their salivary response (how much they drooled). Then he began ringing a bell just before presenting the food. At first, the dogs did not begin salivating until the food was presented. After a while, however, the dogs began to salivate when the sound of the bell was presented. They learned to associate the sound of the bell with the presentation of the food.

For a short, nightmarish period in August 1951, dozens of residents of Pont-Saint-Espirit suffered from extreme hallucinations, leading to five deaths. A newly-unearthed memo hints that it was a CIA experiment, the BBC reports:

On August 26, 1951, postman Leon Armunier was doing his rounds in Pont-Saint-Esprit when he was suddenly overwhelmed by nausea and wild hallucinations.
"It was terrible. I had the sensation of shrinking and shrinking, and the fire and the serpents coiling around my arms," he remembers.
Leon, now 87, fell off his bike and was taken to the hospital in Avignon. He was put in a straitjacket but he shared a room with three teenagers who had been chained to their beds to keep them under control.
Over the coming days, dozens of other people in the town fell prey to similar symptoms. Doctors at the time concluded that bread at one of the town's bakeries had become contaminated by ergot, a poisonous fungus that occurs naturally on rye.
Psywar: The Real Battlefield is the Mind (Video)
Psywar: The Real Battlefield is the Mind explores the evolution of propaganda and public relations in the United States, with an emphasis on the "elitist theory of democracy" and the relationship between war, propaganda and class.
Includes original interviews with a number of dissident scholars including Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Michael Parenti, Peter Phillips ("Project Censored"), John Stauber ("PR Watch"), Christopher Simpson ("The Science of Coercion").
Eternal Vigilance: The Cost of Freedom
Nathan Janes writes on Pupaganda.com:
"Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible. Even if all are miserable, all will believe themselves happy, because the government will tell them that they are so."— Bertrand Russell, 20th Century Philosopher & Nobel Prize Winner
The most widespread form of slavery today is of the mind. Individuals are controlled and managed by the Establishment on a level that can be hard to recognize. Disinformation is continuously spread by the mass media. Children are schooled by the State yet never receive education. The traditional family is in danger of extinction. Our food and water is full of toxins. We have adapted to incremental changes that amount to significant threats to our personal freedoms, independent thoughts, and quality of life.… Read the rest

Hilary Duff's Not Against Going Under The Knife
Hilary Duff has defended stars who have plastic surgery, admitting that she would also go under the knife if she ever felt it necessary. The "Wake Up" singer insists people should have the right to improve their looks if they want to and hasn't ruled out going under the knife herself when she gets older. She revealed to The Sun newspaper, "I don't have anything against people who have surgery. If I get older and feel uncomfortable about something then maybe I will have it. I never say never."
You know I am a little disappointed in my 14-year-old niece's role model. Here I thought Hilary Duff was a positive influence on young girls and boy was I wrong. Admitting that if she felt it was necessary, she would have plastic surgery, pretty much sends the wrong message to kids don't you think? Ok, now that I am done pretending to care, knowing that Hilary is not against going under the knife makes me wonder, will we soon have a bigger breasted Hilary Duff? Woohoo!

Motorola, S-A set-tops to populate SBC's 'U-verse'
SBC Communications has made a key decision for its ambitious IPTV effort, naming Motorola Inc. and Scientific-Atlanta as its primary suppliers for set-top boxes.
Financial terms were not disclosed. The contracts, awarded by SBC Services Inc., run through the end of 2008.
SBC has not said if one vendor will get the lion's share of the set-top business for "U-verse," the telco's forthcoming IPTV service, but noted it will give "equal market opportunity" to both suppliers. SBC plans to move on a controlled market launch of U-verse in late 2005 or early 2006.
S-A and Motorola will get equal access, at least technically, to SBC's IPTV markets in part because SBC will employ the Microsoft TV digital rights management platform, allowing the telco to deploy Motorola and S-A boxes in the same system.
Today, cable operators don't usually have the same flexibility since each system is usually based on Motorola's MediaCipher or S-A's PowerKEY conditional access platform. S-A, however, does offer an "overlay" CA system that allows for its boxes to operate alongside Motorola set-tops on cable systems originally outfitted with MediaCipher. The cable industry is also pursuing a more open CA system based in software and a secure loading chip.SBC said it will offer a range of boxes from S-A and Motorola, but did not disclose the mix of models it will deploy. Motorola and S-A each have five different IPTV models, ranging from lower end single stream boxes to advanced, multi-room, multi-stream boxes with on-board high-definition and digital video recording capabilities. The boxes will also use advanced compression - either MPEG-4 or VC-1. SBC said it expects to deploy boxes from Motorola initially when it scales the service, and follow with S-A set-tops.
But S-A was first in the door in supporting SBC's IPTV plans. In March, it won a deal to provide the telco with a raft of IP video network gear that acquires, processes, encodes and distributes content to subscribers. SBC is presently testing that system as part of a technical trial.

Texas native sculptor, long-time Dallas resident, and prodigal son George Fowler has returned from New York City after matriculating at the New York Academy of Art. His first curatorial endeavor since returning is Kettle Art's "Fractal Logic 2." The event features 25 local Texas artists including painters, photographers, and sculptors.
Each artist will create a large mural comprised of at least one dozen smaller canvases, boards, etc. hung edge-to-edge, that when viewed from afar, form one cohesive piece. Each of these individual pieces, numbering over 1,000 works in all, will stand alone as solo pieces. Most are available at under $500.
Participating artists include: Ray Albarez, Brad Albright, Cabe Booth, Chetley Cade, Dan Colcer, Tom Currie, IZK, Daniel Driensky, Hatziel Flores, George Fowler, Jenna Fredde, Kevin Gilmore, Joe Hardy, Scott Horn, Robert Irby, Nick Glenn, Theresa Mangum, Dusty Morre, Jennifer Portz, Erin & Steve Reeves, Richard Ross, Ross von Rosenberg, Tyson Summers, and Minji Watrous.
"For the Love of Kettle" is perhaps the most highly anticipated event of our year. This one night only, annual fundraiser keeps Kettle Art Gallery operating in the black, allowing us 51 weeks a year of eclectic, North Texas based, cultural programming. Over one hundred and twenty, 9 x 12 works will be available for just $50.00 each, created by artists that exhibit & support this gallery. Please get here early and grab a place in line, as the doors open at 7:00PM sharp.
For a brief rundown on how this event goes down here is a blog post / review done last year by a gentleman named Bill Chance.http://billchance.org/2014/02/09/the-weird-and-wicked-world-of-the-singing-cowboy/
In November 2014, Kettle Art was asked to preview the art work of Art Con 10 and offered the opportunity to curate a spotlight of artists who have never shown at the gallery before. This exhibit is the result of that sneak peek of talent.

On Thursday, December 4th from 7:00pm to 10:00pm, Kettle Art Gallery proudly presents their tenth annual holiday gift show "Holiday Presence 10" featuring small works and unique, artisan-crafted gifts made exclusively by local artists. Works by Judith Lea Perkins, Brad Albright, Monica Moody, Johnny Hawkins, Emily Hawkins, Clint Scism, Megan Petasky, Clay Stinnett, Sarah Zamora, Michael Francis, Jody Pham, Cabe Booth, Corey Godfrey, George Wallace III, Michelle Marie, Richard Sharum, Cheryl Baker, Justin Clumpner, Jennifer Lafleur, Brian Crawford, Darlene Schaper, Larry Carrey, Patricia Rodriguez, Nick Glenn, and more will be featured. Most pieces will be available for under $100.00.
Kettle Art Gallery began its mission in 2005; a year that also introduced Art Conspiracy and The Lollipop Shoppe. There must have been something in the air that year as these three preeminent showcases have all evolved into forces with which to be reckoned. From the very beginning, Kettle has maintained two overall objectives: to offer local creatives a place to exhibit; and to rejuvenate the artistic roots of the Deep Ellum neighborhood. Throughout the years, Kettle has hosted over 140 exhibitions, in various media, featuring only North Texas artists. This averages out to one show every three weeks, with over $200,000.00 going directly into the pockets of local artists.
Join us during "Holiday Presence 10″ as Kettle enters their tenth year of celebrating the amazing local artists who make our art scene one of the most vibrant in the country!
This Thursday, October 16, 2014 Kettle Art proudly presents extremes in photography with two openings in one night!
Justin Terveen will unveil 'New Works' in Gallery A, featuring recent 'Dallas Heavy' photographs and more.
Few artists have captured the beauty of a cityscape, or the hearts of adoring fans, quite like photographer Justin Terveen has done in Dallas.
Terveen's breathtaking images of the skyline are found within countless blogs and publications across the internet, and in numerous private and corporate collections. When USA Today's readers voted Dallas as Readers' Choice for 2014 Best International Skyline, it was due in large part to Terveen's iconic images.
Richard Andrew Sharum's 'In the Heart' featuring street photography from around the world, opens in Gallery B.
Richard Andrew Sharum debuts his compelling series documenting the often obscure landscape of urban spaces around the world and the inhabitants of these areas. Sharum's images depict the contrast between flesh and architecture, the fragility of life juxtaposed with formidable concrete structures, and the light that both illuminates and deepens the shadows between them.
In recognition of Sharum's work on the series abroad, he was selected among international applicants for the Magnum Photos (Paris) Masterclass with Jonas Bendiksen during HOST at FOTOGRAFIA EUROPEA 2014 in Reggio Emilia, Italy, and for the Magnum Photos (New York) Masterclass with Moises Saman and Abbas in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Both resulted in public exhibitions of his work in each respective city.
In Summer of 2014, Sharum launched "Observe Dallas", a public installation project aimed at encouraging observers of anonymously placed photographs within the Downtown area to interact with their surroundings in unique ways.
"Observe Dallas" press:

Richard Andrew Sharum is a Dallas-based photographer whose range varies from documentary photojournalism to abstract minimalism. Sharum's work is included in several private and public collections across the country. Commissions include those by The Meadows Foundation, Harvard Law School, Children's Medical Center (Oncology), Children's Cancer Fund, Angel Flight, Notre Dame School for the Mentally Ill, and Austin Street Homeless Shelter, among others. Publications include D Magazine, International Business Times Weekly (New York), The Wall Street Journal, The Dallas Observer, and The News-Register.

Kettle Art proudly presents 'Artpocalypse' a four man show featuring works by Richard Ross, Clay Stinnett, Mattson Plummer, and Johnny Hawkins, opening Thursday, August 21, 2014, 7:00 – 10:00PM.
From Ross's whimsical, mythology-based social commentary, to Plummer's graffiti-inspired street art characters, to Stinnett's humorous pop imagery with a Texas twist, to Hawkins' depictions of man vs. animal, all four artists are linked through the use of impassioned, thought-provoking symbolism, and are delighted to cross-pollinate their diverse and devoted fan-bases in this dynamic exhibit.
Richard L. Ross formed his artistic voice during the chaos of the early Dallas punk scene. His metanarrative series "The Road to the Store" is based on the Kantian concept that beliefs derive from the question "What can I hope?", with a symbolic cast of characters portraying the disorder and uncertainty experienced along life's journey.
Clay Stinnett's work explores relationships between humorous motifs, pop imagery, and iconography, representing a personal definition of beauty and truth as the synthesis of story-telling, shocking humor, and horror within a post-modern forum.
Mattson Plummer's latest series focuses on engaging his Dallas and Austin audiences in a scavenger hunt for his works via Instagram. Plummer's minimal, small-scale works, created in large numbers, comprise an installation of seemingly similar, yet unique, pieces of a whole.
Johnny Hawkins is a graphic designer with a focus on digital design theory that trickles its way into his paintings. Lately, he has been exploring the conflicting interests of animals and men. ARTPOCALYPSE will be his first gallery show as a featured artist.
Kettle Art Gallery proudly presents 'Over the Line', an exhibition featuring new works by Dan Colcer, Clint Scism, Larry Carey, and Raymond Butler.
This exhibit examines the diverse, yet unifying, use of line in each of the four artists' works. From Colcers' implementation of numerous characters within a larger image, to Scism's multi-layered, three-dimensional works on glass, to Carey's 1960s influenced, mandala-esque pieces, to Butler's re-appropriation of international currency etchings, each artist interprets the simplicity of line with a unique vision.
'Over the Line' opens Thursday, July, 10th, 7:00 – 10:00pm and runs through Saturday, August 2nd.
Texas-born soccer star and local artist Brek Shea will host an art exhibit benefiting Cancer Support Community North Texas on Thursday, July 3, 6-10pm, at Kettle Art Gallery, 2650-B Main Street in Deep Ellum.

Polycarbonate lenses are thinner and lighter than standard lenses. Polycarbonate lenses are made from a similar material to that of bulletproof glass, these lenses are 10 times more impact resistant than standard plastic lenses however this material is relatively soft, subsequently polycarbonate lenses need a scratch-resistant coating to prevent surface scratches. These lenses are for low-to-moderate prescriptions of 0.00 to +/- 3.00. If your prescription is higher than this, we suggest HI INDEX material.
High Index 1.67 are recommended for prescriptions ranging from +/- 3.00 to +/- 6.00 to keep the lenses the thinnest possible. High-index 1.67 lenses are an alternative choice to standard, plastic lenses reducing the thickness and weight of an eyeglass lens up to 40%, particularly for individuals with a strong prescription. This lens comes with UV400 treatment and scratch resistance as standard.
High-Index 1.74 is the thinnest lens possible today. High-index 1.74 lenses are an alternative choice to standard, plastic lenses reducing the thickness and weight of an eyeglass lens up to 50%, particularly for individuals with a strong prescription. These lenses are recommended for prescription that range from +/- 6.00 and higher. This lens comes with UV400 treatment and scratch resistance as standard.
Transitions or sometimes called Photochromic lenses are lenses that darken into sunglasses on exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Once the UV is removed (for example by walking indoors), the lenses will gradually return to their clear state. These features make Transition or photochromic lenses a great convenience, by reducing your need to wear prescription sunglasses in most outdoor conditions.
Polarized sunglasses are specialized lenses designed to reduce glare and increase contrast sensitivity. Glare distorts the true color of objects and makes them harder to distinguish. Unlike traditional sunglasses, polarized sunglasses selectively block out glare instead of dimming the entire field of vision. Polarized sunglasses are popular with sports enthusiasts, including skiers, golfers, bikers and joggers, fisherman, as well as the general public.
There is a huge variety of colors shades and intensity that prescription glasses can be fashion tinted in. Fashion tints provide variety and create special looks for both men and women by accenting, complementing or bringing out their eye color.
Crizal Avance is a premium Anti-Reflective coating applied to the surface of lenses to reduce reflection. Anti-reflection lenses decrease reflection making eyewear look better, less glare is particularly noticeable when driving at night or working in front of a computer monitor. The decreased glare means wearers often find their eyes are less tired, particularly at the end of the day. Allowing more light to pass through the lens also increases contrast and therefore increases visual acuity.

In a day and age when both rents seem outta wack (read: way high) but loan rates seem equivalently outta wack (read: historically low), to follow are the pros and cons, or the likely benefits and potential headaches, of landlording.
Personally my journey to becoming a landlord was fairly accidental and organic. My (then fiance but shortly thereafter) wife and I purchased a little single shotgun Uptown in the late 90s only to move out of state within the year. We didn't want to re-sell so we leased it out, and for 3 years we kept the same tenant which in turn paid our note and then some for miscellaneous upkeep. When we returned to re-occupy the space in 2001, a little while later we felt we kinda missed managing an income producing investment. In short order we made the leap proper and bought a duplex in early 2002, and we've been in the business since. So if you wanna be a landlord… Continue reading »

Owen Courreges: If he'd leave us alone, we would have a happy home
The debate over live music continues in New Orleans. The latest volley was lobbed by Kermit Ruffins, New Orleans' premiere jazz trumpeter, who presumably needs no further introduction. From his Facebook page, Ruffins has announced a meeting this Wednesday to discuss "a plan of [action] to stop the city from taking live entertainment away from small clubs."
Ruffin's announcement coincided roughly with three developments: 1) Ruffin's Mother-In-Law Lounge received its rezoning and permitting for live music; 2) Mimi's in the Marigny canceled its live music schedule; and, 3) Siberia lounge announced it would be resuming live music in October with obscenely expensive one-shot event permits.
Accordingly, Ruffins is sitting pretty. Everybody else, not so much. Continue reading »

The Young Men Olympian Junior Benevolent Association will hold its 128th annual second line Sunday, starting at 1 p.m. at the club's hall on South Liberty and looping around Louisiana Avenue, South Claiborne and Martin Luther King Boulevard, touted by Gambit's Big Red Cotton as "the biggest, most exciting second line of the season."

Last week I had the chance to go out to Tulane to watch a showing of "Nine Lives," the Paul Sanchez musical production of a Dan Baum book dealing with our part of the world and a particular view of how things were from Hurricane Betsy in 1965 to Katrina, 40 years later. It's a delightful show, and here's hoping it is successful as a would-be Broadway production in the coming year or so.
As is often the case when I go see local music (not nearly as often as I'd like), I get to thinking about how much in common our local restaurant operators have with our local musicians. We're in a city known mainly as a food and art mecca, and we've produced a series of folks known worldwide for their expertise and innovation in both arenas. But while such international stars (Lagasse and Neville, Prudhomme and Armstrong, etc.) have their draws, the attraction remains the smaller venues and Who's Next — who might be doing world-class work in some dive or tiny place.

Saints Offer Relocation Packages To Fans Displaced At Superdome
Published May 6, 2010
|Saints Have Offered Relocation Ticket Packages
To 1,200 Fans Displaced By New Press Box
The Saints yesterday said that they have "now offered relocation ticket packages to all the members of 'the missing 1,200,' a group displaced by the new press box in the Superdome," according to James Varney of the New Orleans TIMES-PICAYUNE. Saints VP/Communications Greg Bensel in a statement said the team has "directly contacted each account holder from the 1,200 seats affected." Bensel: "It represents about 330 accounts. There remains about 30 accounts, which represent about 200 seats, that are still undecided on what they want to do with respect to relocating." Varney notes the stadium's old press box is "being converted into luxury suites ... as part of the Superdome's renovations to maximize revenue and attract events such as the Super Bowl." The group of displaced season-ticket holders "organized themselves into 'the missing 1,200,' and became something of a squeaky wheel," though "from the outset, 'the missing 1,200' members said they fully support the Superdome upgrades, and that they understand the Saints need to make changes to stay in the elite ranks of the NFL." Meanwhile, Varney notes Saints officials were "stung by any suggestion that they began reaching out to aggrieved fans Monday in an effort to divert attention" from the lawsuit filed by former Saints Security Dir Geoffrey Santini. Bensel said that "solving the problem of 'the missing 1,200' had always been a priority, and its resolution was unconnected to the timing of the lawsuit" (New Orleans TIMES-PICAYUNE, 5/6).

The Switch has successfully tested its PM shaft generator in a rigorous bench test in Vaasa. The PMM 1000 direct-drive marine shaft generator certified by Lloyds marks the first of its kind to take advantage of PM technology, allowing ships to gain greater efficiency over the entire speed range.
Two main issues are dominating the discussions in Asia: China's feed-in tariff reduction from June 2015 onwards and operational cost reduction and pollution control in marine. Given this scenario, NDRC is trying with all means to push IPPs and wind turbine OEMs to look for fresh opportunities overseas. But how is it possible to make this happen?
When looking at the future of drive trains for wind turbines, it's clear to see that the winner is the medium-speed drive train. This is because the medium-speed drive combines the advantages of solid reliability with lower losses and higher efficiency.

Another ? about cleaning wood floors
I am new to wood floors! I have wanted them all my adult life, just about...we just moved into our new house and I have read a lot on here about cleaning wood floors. There seems to be several "schools" of thought! I have decided to sweep daily with an electric broom...then clean the floor with water only (+ some BONA in places that really need it)a few times a week. Is this a good plan? How often do you need to polish or refresh?
We have real white oak wood floors, stained a Medium Brown with a SATIN finish...We also have a DOG who sheds a fair amount but it isn't horrible! I just thought my floors were cleaned before!
Any advice is needed and appreciated.
thanks in advance
I cannot help you with regular cleaning, but, I do know from experience that dog paws/toenails will make a worn path through the house.
At present we are trying to restore older real wood floors where the dog made a well worn path through the house. The floors failed with everything we tried, they need to be sanded and refinished.
My suggestion would be to use runners of some sort along the path the dog goes in the house.
One thing would be to have the dog bed close to the door he/she goes in and out to reduce wear on the wood floor.
Hi capegirl-- In our last house, we received no instruction on caring for the hardwoods (red oak stained a medium color with satin finish) and I used Murphy's Oil Soap to clean the floors once a month or so. Otherwise, it was just a vacuuming & a damp mop with plain water. In the new house, we were told to use a damp mop with plain water to clean our floors for the 1st year and to make sure no water was left behind. We use a Swiffer SweeperVac almost daily for routine cleaning--it vacuums and dustmops all at the same time! Seems to be working so far. Hope this helps!

repotting an EA plant?
I've read several posts about the EA plants having water retentive stuff in the soil, and the potting mix being hard to wash off the roots. I have been wondering if it's really good to leave the plant in this mix. They do look like they've been growing well and are healthy but is it best to leave them in it, or should I repot into my nice loose orchid bark/perlite/soil that the other plants seem to thrive in?
Thanks, Jan, that is what I thought. This was labeled as kentiana and a nice full plant, but no new growth like on everything else here. I'll just keep misting it with VF-11 and wait for spring.
BTW, the obovata from you has a bunch of new leaves! It's now my favorite hoya, so different from all my others. The round leaves are so cute, so big and thick. I have been using VF 11 as a foliar feed and think it's really a wonderful thing. In fact, the EA plant is the only one with no new leaves coming, but maybe I'm missing one somewhere.
I have several EA plants that are in the original mix. I prefer to move them to my mix when I can, but some of those plants are so big and as it's been noted, the mix is so stuck to the roots, I just don't risk it most of the time. But what I DO do is take cuttings of all my EA plants, just in case they start to go south at some point. I still have my first EA Hoya, DS-70, in the original mix - I've had it 6 years.
Denise in Omaha
In my opinion, it's best to leave EA plants in the original soil. I used to try to get as much of the soil off as possible and then repot into my own mix, but every single one of those hoyas died. Then I bought new ones and left them in the original mix, and not only have they all lived, but they thrived and most of them constantly bloom for me. I recommend removing the bottom saucer so that the soil gets more air and dries out faster.
Hope that helps,
Thanks, Jan, Denise and Gabi! I have restrained myself and didn't repot. For one, I'm out of orchid bark for now. Then, took the thing down and really looked at it, there are a couple places where new leaves are starting! So I will leave it as it is.
I was at the store last night and saw that the plant that I thought was a DS-70 is now gone. Hope it went to a good home. I didn't really have ROOM for it anyway. I don't have space for everything I have now, once they all get a bit bigger. I have to get working on a plan for more hanging spots!
Wow! My EA H. brevialata started rotting in that soil. I dumped the whole thing out and started over. In that six inch pot, there were over 15 rooted cuttings! Rather than have one pot with that many, I've potted up, two plants per three inch pot. So far, so good!!! Wish me luck . . . I'm hoping at least half survive.

The Church in the Seventieth Week?
Of the several options on the timing of the rapture only the pretribulational view keeps the Body of Christ entirely out of the Seventieth Week of Daniel 9. But that fact says little if in fact the Church is said in Scripture to go through some or all of it. To my mind, it is no good trying to place the Body of Christ in the Seventieth Week unless there are solid reasons for doing so and appropriate excuses for diminishing the very Jewish emphasis in passages which do concern this period.
We have seen that God had in mind "Your [i.e. Daniel's] people" in the prophecy. It also focused in on "your holy city" – Jerusalem. It is within this same period that the Olivet Discourse is situated. And there, as we have seen, Jesus is talking to Jews about Israel. We get the same story when we look at Daniel 12 or Jeremiah 30. In the Revelation the Church is not mentioned after chapter 3 and the stress is mainly upon all things Israel (7:3-8; 9:4; 11:1-2, 7-8; 11:19; 12:1, 13-14; 14:1-4; 15:3; 16:16), which is just what one would expect from reading earlier texts.
Paul in Romans 11 uses the term "Gentiles" as a kind of eponym for the Church. For instance, in 11:11, 12, 13, and especially 11:25 he is pointing out that God has deliberately turned to the Gentiles in this era. Israel as a nation is judicially blinded (11:7-10, 25, and 32), and although there will always be a saved remnant even in the Church (11:5), the fact remains that the Church is predominantly Gentile in complexion. But Paul says that God will once again turn to Israel (11:24), once "the fullness of the Gentiles has come in" (11:25b).
I do realize that this does not go on to say "when the Church is removed". All I am concerned with is delineating the [national] Israel – Church divide which seems apparent in these passages from Revelation and Romans. I do not see the Church in any reference to the Seventieth Week. I do see that God is focused back on Israel as predicted in Daniel 9 (and 7 & 12). The "fullness of the [saved] Gentiles" must mean something, for it has to be accomplished before this turning can happen. It can either happen as some Dutch-school amillennialists predict, and God can save a bunch of Jews just prior to Jesus' return, or it can happen with the rapture of the Church at its completion. I reject the first option because it ignores an important point in the Apostle's argument; namely the fact that it is national Israel that is in view (see Rom. 9:1-5, 10; 10:1, 21; 11:1-2, 7, 25-29). All those approaches which do not recognize this are, I believe, at fault. This includes those Progressive Dispensationalists who are okay with people becoming "Christians" in the Tribulation, and there being just one people of God. It also ignores the specific Israeli focus of the Seventieth Week as I understand it. Those who are fine with God dealing with the Church and the nation of Israel at the same time have not provided a clear rationale for it that I have seen.
Lastly, since the Church shall be married to Christ (2 Cor. 11:2; Eph. 5:25, 32) before Christ comes back (Rev. 19:6-9), I think it reasonable to relate this to a pre (or mid) tribulational rapture (I reject the mid-trib. alternative here because of what I've said above). I think this is grounds for rejecting post-tribulationism, as well as suspecting Pre-Wrath, which needs Christ to return to collect the Church. This is what forces them (along with some other views), to look for the signs of Matthew 24 with regard to the Church.
Is Imminency a Biblical Teaching?
The pretribulational doctrine of the imminent return of Jesus is not a necessary component of the approach, but the strength of it as a biblical idea definitely reinforces the pretribulational claim. This position says that the warning signs in the Olivet Discourse are intended for Israel (cf. 1 Cor. 1:22), not the Body of Christ.
1. James 5:8-9 – If Christ cannot return at any moment the coming of the Lord could never be said to be "at hand" and this passage simply makes no sense.
2. 1 Thess. 1:9-10 – The idea here is an expectant waiting for the Lord's return. If the "wrath to come" is that of chapter 5:3 and 9, called "the Day of the Lord" (5:2). This is the "wrath" we have been delivered from. If my previous argumentation holds any water then this is not wrath after the Second Coming. If it is the Coming itself then it is hardly earth-shattering news for saints to be told they won't get stomped on. (more…)

We were not sure what to expect as we drove up Farmers Lane in Santa Rosa and saw the tower with the rotating pink flamingo on the top. As we walked in I saw the sign that says this is where the Santa Rosa Rotary meets, and wondered whether this was going to be good "Old School California" or something opposite. As it turned out, the place actually had charm, something I don't expect from a place that advertises itself as a "conference resort." But the room was very nice--hardwood floors are a nice change from wall-to-wall carpet--and larger than expected. There was a large pool with several lanes for lap swimming, a bar/restaurant with outdoor seating, and lots of places to lie in the sun. There were several places to eat within walking distance, and a CVS that more or less shared the parking lot. A short drive west got us to downtown Santa Rosa.
The service people were helpful and friendly. Everything was spotlessly clean.

Is it rude to "un-tag" yourself from Facebook photo's?
by Eric
posted Jan 31 2011 9:49AM
One of the things that always bugged me about Facebook is that people can tag you in photos without your permission.
--I'll be checking Facebook at work, and then I'll suddenly get an email that my friend tagged me in like, 15 pictures.
--And in the pictures I'm tagged in, I either look horrible, or like a drunken fool. Maybe I look good in two or three of the photos I'm tagged in. So I untag myself.
--But whenever I do it, my friends get offended. They say they took a lot of time to do all the tagging, and it's rude that I untagged myself.
--Is it rude to untag yourself from Facebook pictures? Why do people take it so personally? Isn't it worse for people to tag you in pictures without even asking you first?
Join us after 6am and we will talk about it tomorrow morning!!!

This is a really quick second post, in honor of Earth Day! Mark Langan shows that some recycled art can actually be pretty darn neat. His personal statement, a testament to texture, sums it all up:
"My personal interpretation to the term 'Corrugated Art' is the celebration of the unique properties of a highly visible manufactured product for which it was not purportedly intended. Striving to artistically focus by highlighting those aesthetically characteristic qualities which otherwise would be unknowingly ignored."

EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost SuperClocked 2GB Video Card Review - Benchmarks - Test System Setup
We would like to thank the following companies for supplying and supporting us with our test system hardware and equipment: Intel, ASUS and Corsair.
Looking at the setups we've got in our graphs today, alongside the EVGA GTX 650 Ti Boost SuperClocked, we've also got the reference clocked NVIDIA offering and the slightly overclocked Palit GTX 650 Ti Boost. Finally from the NVIDIA side we've got the MSI GTX 660 HAWK 2GB.
As for the AMD line up we've got the whole HD 7700 series with the HIS HD 7750 1GB IceQ X Turbo, HIS HD 7770 iCooler overclocked to over 1100MHz, the Sapphire HD 7790 1GB Dual-X OC and finally the ASUS HD 7790 DirectCU II OC that we clocked to over 1200MHz on the core.
The FPS Numbers Explained
When we benchmark our video cards and look at the graphs, we aim to get to a certain level of FPS which we consider playable. While many may argue that the human eye can't see over 24 FPS or 30 FPS, any true gamer will tell you that as we climb higher in Frames Per Seconds (FPS), the overall gameplay feels smoother. There are three numbers we're looking out for when it comes to our benchmarks.
30 FPS - It's the minimum number we aim for when it comes to games. If you're not dropping below 30 FPS during games, you're going to have a nice and smooth gaming experience. The ideal situation is that even in a heavy fire fight, the minimum stays above 30 FPS making sure that you can continue to aim easily or turn the corner with no dramas.
60 FPS - It's the average we look for when we don't have a minimum coming at us. If we're getting an average of 60 FPS, we should have a minimum of 30 FPS or better and as mentioned above, it means we've got some smooth game play happening.
120 FPS - The new number that we've been hunting down over recent months. If you're the owner of a 120 Hz monitor, to get the most out of it you want to get around the 120 FPS mark. Moving from 60 FPS / 60 Hz to 120 FPS / 120 Hz brings with it a certain fluidity that can't really be explained, but instead has to be experienced. Of course, if you're buying a 120 Hz monitor to take advantage of 3D, an average of 120 FPS in our benchmark means that in 3D you will have an average of 60 FPS, which again means you should expect some smooth gameplay.
Why are some graphs incomplete?
Adding new game benchmarks is a long, tedious and time consuming task as every video card has to be re-tested in those new benchmarks. Because of that reason we have always just evaluated our benchmark line up every six months. To stay up to date and current with the latest benchmarks and games available, we've changed our approach to adding new benchmarks.
Our benchmark line up will progress and be updated as newer more intensive games with benchmarks comes to light. While this will mean that initially you may only see a single video card in those particular graphs, as the weeks go on and we test more and more video cards, the results will grow quickly. This will help keep our benchmark line up as up to date as possible as we introduce and remove games on a constant basis.
