Patented Mar. 2, 1954 PROCESS OF THERMAL REGULATION OF WGRK AND TOOIJS Paul -E. Brunbecg, Detroit, .Mich.
No Drawing. Application June 9, 1951 Serial No. 230,849
This invention relates to .a process of thermal regulation .of work and tools in :maohin-i-ng op- ..erations of cutting, milling, shaping, breaching, iormingand the like.
The object of the invention is :the provision .of .a method or process in which original metallurgical properties can be -maintained such as those contained in austenitic steels during machining and forming operations.
Austenitic steels, which include stainless steel, Hastelloy, Multimet, chrome-nickel, manganese (Hadfields) steel and many others tend to work harden and change structure during machining and forming. These steels become magnetic on the surface, alter the grain structure, segregate, and lose the desirable properties such as corrosion resistance in a large degree tor which the same were intended. Machining of .the same seldom exceeded 18% of the speed expected for ordinary steel. Tool mortality was exceptionally high. Some of the grades such as manganese (Hadfields) were finished by grinding in every step of the operation.
The new metal titanium and its alloys are practically non-machinable under ,norma1 conditions .and methods since galling, work hardening and low temperature oxidation produce incendiary results.
Commercial coolants of every variety have failed to cope with the basic causes of failure to machine steel properly .or to maintain a, climate for accuracy in any machining operation ferrous or non-ferrous.
A critical examination of circumstances surrounding metal cutting and forming will show that contact temperatures between work-and tool may reach as high vas 1,60,0 F. during the instant of cutting. This has been measured by thermocouple at the junction stated. This temperature creeps throughout the entire section as workgoes on to expand the mass in relation to its coefficient. Thus, as dimensional accuracy is lost by cubical expansion another factor enters the operation in that the expanded mass increases pressure against the tool, causing .a burnishingefiect while adding to the heat contained in the piece by friction. Obviously, tools become dull and heat destroys their properties. Cemented carbides crater under the grueling action of heat and The chemistry of the piece being mapressure. chined will assume the properties of its characteristics at the temperature of contact with the tool, whatever that may be, and tile verror of the old art has been to .quench whatever segregated structure happened-to be present.
.3 Claims. (01. 39-9148.)
This invention demonstrates va new gmetallurgical result. It effectively comes to grips with the thermal phase of machine operations-permitting the .same to be carried on without physical or chemical change in the work.
I have discovered that :a continuous, measured supply of "liquid :cabbQn dioxide of high purity, when directed to the immediate area where tool contacts work, will @deposit by expansion a measured quantity of solid carbon dioxide in which a temperature in the region of 112 F. :is attained. The presence of the solid carbon dioxide attracts the heat rays to itself as the same are generated, causing :the solid carbon dioxide to sublime to the gaseous state. The measurement of liquid carbon dioxide through accurate jets of small dimension permit a balance in B. t. us to be transierred in the operation, ,resulting in room temperature ,at both work and tool. The phenomena can be described as acold catalystin action.
Measurement of liquid carbon dioxide is critical, as is purity (lack of water vapor and other matter .out of place. When the liquid :exits from the jet and expands on the tool and work as solid ,carbondioxide-afilm of gas immediately appears in an infinitesimal flayer between the metal and solid carbon dioxide. Hence, no freezing of the metal or tool occurs when properly measured. The work of machining goes on to completion .throushoutitscycle at room temperature.
From :an appropriate source of pure liquidcarbon dioxide normally 'held at approximately ,850 pounds per square inch pressure, I direct the same to a solenoid valve from whence it is distributed through tubing to a jet of proper size, the latter being built into a fixture when necessary to direct the JflOW to WOI'k-tOOl terminus. A valuable secondary effect of the process is the disposal of dry, clean chips under the available pressure.
This invention has been the means for increasing machining speed of critical military alloys such as Inconel, Multimet, chrome-nickel, titanium, and many others up to standards normally associated with normal commercial metals. In the process of machining these metals physical properties and chemistry of surface has been faithfully maintained as ,per original. Another r u t o this ten ien is th ew ar o mach nin re h trea ed. al y st ls. carbon stee1s and other metals measured up to 55 Rock- :well :0. at speeds comparable to annealed sections and accurate to within 0 inch without grinding. Surfaces have been measured for finish resulting in readings of 15 micro-inches.
The salient point of this invention is the arrest factor which makes the process function properly without consideration for ever changing atmospheric conditions. If, for example, room temperature and metal temperature register 70 F., work will proceed at that temperature. If room and metal registered 60 F. or 80 F. the work would proceed and end at the same. Thus, the arrest factor deals with the localized production of thermal units and functions at that point irrespective of temperature in the mass.
In contrast, if a metal section were frozen to a temperature of 100 minus, zero or any arbitrary number, andmachined as is, the result would be the same and, perhaps, worse than any method of the old art because temperature in the mass cannot cope with the localized intense heat as found at contact of work-tool. Accordingly, this invention is a means of thermal regulation of work and tools.
This invention is based upon the principle which suggests an atomic model in which the electron travels in a circular orbit about the proton. In each of these orbits the energy of motion, or kinetic energy, of the electron is just balanced by the force of attraction that is exerted by the nucleus and prevents the electron from escaping. If an electron traveling in some particular orbit is to be made to travel in an orbit more distant from the nucleus, it must be supplied with energy from some outside source, because Work must be done to pull the electron away from the nucleus that attracts it. Accordingly, the emphasis of the process concerns the metallurgical and dimensional results with a cold catalyst as means of bringing the same about.
The driving force which causes the transfer of heat from one substance to another is the temperature difference which exists between the same. The ultimate destination of the heat is controlled by the thermal conductivity of the substance upon which it impinges. Thus, in the case or" carbon dioxide which has poor thermal conductance properties, heat will be absorbed by it and not transfer to another body.
A typical machine operation such as drilling or lathe work introduces two principal components of behavior. friction with sharp rise in temperature at the contact point of work and tool. As previously stated, this may be as high as 1,600 F. and alter the structure of the metal considerably while destroying the tool.
The second component is a result of the first in that a cumulative storage of thermal units occurs to affect the cubical expansion of the segment. In the old art the latter effect caused additional operations in attempts to secure dimensional accuracy. This invention, in providing the arrest factor, positively intercepts each heat unit in the process of its creation, which permits working to be carried on without dimensional change or alteration of the original grain structure.
A typical machining operation in which this invention is employed is carried on as follows:
The material is a flange for joining collector rings on an internal combustion engine for aircraft. The material is an alloy steel having in addition to iron approximately 19% chrome and 9% nickel. The alloy, in the rough state, is considered to be a light section and is of cast origin. The section, as cast, requires removal of about The first concerns internal 4 one eighth inch of stock from the inside of the same.
The job is set up on a face plate of a lathe. A jet of .009 inch diameter is set on the tool rest with an appropriate fixture to direct the stream of liquid at the junction of tool and work with slight overlapping in the direction of the steel. A trial cut is made at customary cutting speed to determine volume of liquid carbon dioxide required. If a balance of temperature has been reached, indicating room temperature result at both work and tool, the spindle speed will be increased in resetting the machine and the jet diameter will be changed to .012 inch diameter.
Another cut is taken for ultimate temperature and to gage the piece. If measurement and tol erance is satisfactory, the machine will be reset again to increase spindle speed further and accelerate the feed.
A jet of .015 inch will be inserted in the tool fixture and the run of production begun. Measurement of the piece for roundness and size together with finish temperature of the segment will indicate whether an adjustment of feed is necessary to secure the same contained temperature in the steel at the end of the operation as when the same was begun. A qualitative in dication of this is visual since the phenomena of sublimation is so rapid that the work appears to be going on dry, or, without addition of any agent at all.
The setting of work for milling machines, gear hobs, gear shapers and boring mills is identical as described above. The important point in applying this invention is to make positive contact at the junction where tool contacts work. Both must be in range of the end of the jet which is a normal distance of approximately 1 inches.
The varied specific heats of the metals indicates the impractical suggestion that a job shall be set up by mathematical calculations for jet size and speed of cutting. The problem would be further complicated by the amount of metal required to be removed. The method of application as described is quick and simple and within the scope of casual machine operators for setting their own jobs.
Another application of this invention concerns movable tools such as drills. Here the problem is one concerning depth of hole and kind of metal or alloy. If the hole is but four inches in depth, a jet directed downward into the hole will sufice to absorb the temperature and dispose of the chips. Where gun type drills are used for deep holes of more than 12 inches, the jet is built into the drill itself to allow emission of liquid carbon dioxide in a constant stream at'the base of the tool where the same contacts work.
Production records show that holes of a depth of 48 inches have been drilled in this manner with a total displacement over the entire distance of only :004 inch with not over two degrees variance in temperature contained in the steel.
Tapping follows the same rule as drilling. If the depth of thread is 2 inches and the diameter of tap inch, one jet, directed downward, will suffice. If the tap is larger, two jets, located opposite, both directed downward, will apply.
Because of varying conditions, the operator will remember the basic rule that liquid carbon dioxide shall expand at the point where tool contacts work.
What I claim is:
1. A method of cutting a metal work piece of titanium and its alloys, which comprises contacting the titanium metal with a cutting tool, creating relative movement between the metal and tool to cause cutting, subjecting the point of contact of the Work piece and tool to a stream of carbon dioxide released from a liquid stream in the immediate vicinity of the point of contact to deposit a transitory coating of solid carbon dioxide on the work piece and the tool at the point of contact, the carbon dioxide being deposited at a rate such that the sublimation of said coating prevents any material temperature change in the Work piece.
2. A method of cutting a metal work piece of steel which comprises contacting the steel with a cutting tool, creating relative movement between the steel and the tool to cause cutting, subjecting the point of contact of the work piece and tool to a stream of carbon dioxide released from a liquid stream in the immediate vicinity of the point of contact to deposit a transitory coating of solid carbon dioxide on the work piece and the tool at the point of contact, the carbon dioxide being deposited at a rate such that the sublimation of said coating prevents any material temperature change in the work piece.
3. A method of cutting a metal work piece of austenitic alloys which comprises contacting the work piece of the alloy with a cutting tool, creating relative movement between the metal austenitic alloy and the tool to cause cutting, subjecting the point of contact of the Work piece and tool to a stream of carbon dioxide released from a liquid stream in the immediate vicinity of the point of contact to deposit a transitory coating of solid carbon dioxide on the work piece and the tool at the point of contact, the carbon dioxide being deposited at a rate such that the sublimation of said coating prevents any material temperature change in the work piece. 1

Ridiculously Excited
We're still in the design process on our new house, but I've spent an inordinate amount of time already stressing out about my hatred for recessed lighting, particularly in the kitchen. My husband wants 10' ceilings throughout the house, and the current kitchen plan includes a barrel-vaulted ceiling, so I could just see the whole lighting issue coming at me from every direction. To make matters worse, we're trying to build as green as possible, and I detest the light generated by most LED fixtures.
I've been driving myself nuts with various options to avoid the ceiling cans, and trying to figure out how to accomplish ambient room light and adequate task lighting without stuffing a zillion sconces and pendants into the space. Almost everyone I know who's ever built a house says that picking the lighting was one of the most difficult things they had to do - I think my sister-in-law exchanged at least a dozen fixtures because they weren't right.
I stumbled upon a news article about a Swiss company called Ribag - they've been working on developing these really cool OLED ceiling fixtures, and announced they'd be offering a line of them for sale this coming fall. The OLED lights are supposed to be much closer to "natural" daylight than regular LEDs; they don't get hot, and they're cutting-edge in terms of efficiency. The fixtures with a control feature can be dimmed just by waving your arm. No idea how much these will retail for, but I sure hope I can squeeze some money in the budget for a few of them for ambient lighting if they're as good as they sound.
I'm not flying to Switzerland to see them in action, so some retailer had better bring them to the US. I want to find out if these are my holy grail of kitchen lights or not.
Here is a link that might be useful: Ribag Oviso OLED lighting
There are a lot of LED lights now which are a 'warm' white as opposed to a 'cool' white (which has a bluish tint which many negatively associate w/ LEDs). We put a lot of cans in the kitchen we're building, because I like them and they give great light. We are buying the bulbs for those from home depot. HD has displays which show the different color temperatures of the LED bulbs they have. The prices have really come down a lot recently!
DH and I own an online LED company and we sell flexible LED strips so we will (of course) be using them in our kitchen for undercabinet lighting, and in our stacked upper cabinets which have glass doors. You can also put LED strips above your cabinets (if they don't go to the ceiling), underneath toekicks, or under countertop overhangs for additional indirect lighting. Depending how your ceiling is designed, you can add strips above crown molding to lighten up the ceiling. We sell 4x types of white LEDs - a warm white (similar to regular incandescent- a yellowish, warm feel) 2400-2600K, a natural white 2900-3200K, daylight white 4000-4500 K, and pure white (not bluish, but does not have any warmth) 4700-5300K.
LED strips above kitchen cabinets for ambient lighting (sorry I haven't been able to get a picture of this at night yet- this is a friend's house).-
Not ridiculous, nothing more fun than the perfect lighting!!
Neat product and I love the table lamp. Please let us know pricing when you find out.
We've invested a ton in LED lighting and then struggled with dimming sufficiently. In a few places, I love it. In others, I feel it's too harsh.
When you said barrel ceiling, it made me think of using something like the Tech Lighting Kable Lite system. We have this in our family room, with the k-hello heads.
These used to be lots of pictures in their gallery of wonderful vaulted ceilings with cable lighting, but I'm not seeing them.
This is from their website:
Here is a link that might be useful: Tech Lighting
oldbat2be- What types of lights do you have and how are they wired? LEDS should be able to be dimmed similar to other lights, but done in a different way. They either need a special controller/dimmer which can dim them with PWM (pulse width modulation, turning the LEDs on and off slower to create the dimming effect), or they need to be hooked up to a dimmable power supply (usually the LEDs are 12V/24V) and then they can be controlled through the 120V dimmer with which the power supply is connected.

Beams in a kitchen with 8-ft. ceilings?
I have a friend planning a kitchen remodel. She's interested in adding a few beams to the ceiling, but they're only 8 feet high. Know of anyone who's done it ... or have pics to share?
I have 8 ft ceilings with beams in my den. Here's a pic I just happen to have in photobucket. There are 2 beams in the room on either side of the fireplace. They are about 12 inches deep, so the clearance is 7 ft under those areas.
It depends upon the scale of the overall house. There are a lot of very old houses (18th c.) in my nieghborhood that have exposed beam ceilings (They probably were not originally), that are 8 feet or a bit under. They seem natural enough, but they do seem to bring the ceiling down a bit.
She has a 1960s ranch. She'd like to use stained cypress beams. This is an example pic she shared. Do you think it might work better if the beams were cut in half ... say 6" deep instead of 12" ...or not?
I don't have a photo by my Aunt and Uncle had beams in their eight foot ceiling height living room. My guess is they were six inch beams. We'll be putting six beams into our eight foot ceiling Gentleman's Parlor.
Ours will be like these....
Mine aren't "beams", but it's the same idea. I think my logs hang down around 8 inches from my 8 foot ceiling. It does make the ceiling dark and heavy, but it also makes it feel really cozy. So, if she wants a warmer element, I think they can work. If she's going for light and breezy, not so much.
Her photo show 12" beams. The LR justgotabme posted looks like 6" to me.
My kitchen is linked below. They are 6x6 and 4x4. Against the wall, the trim piece is 2x8. The large beam you see in the 2nd picture dividing the kitchen from great room is structural and it's 6x12. Hope this helps:

"Leave it to good old Mary Bailey to finally step in and do something about that hideous genetic mutation." – Marge Simpson
This week on Zombie Simpsons, Burns does something we saw him do much funnier twenty years ago, but he also falls in love and becomes a softy for a while. In between, Patty and Selma live with the Simpsons for a while, Marge, Lisa and Smithers vanish for most of the episode, Homer gets another new job, and there's a big explosion.
– No couch gag this week, so what they left in must be pure gold!
– Marge is buttering Homer up with pork chops because Patty & Selma need a place to stay. If you guessed that Patty & Selma weren't in the house right up until they mysteriously appeared in the house as if by transporter, you win absolutely nothing.
– Homer is repeating the word "teensy" for some reason. I guess that got a big laugh at the table read?
– So the conflict here is that Patty & Selma aren't supposed to smoke in the house. Homer has put smoke detectors all over the place to catch them. Then it starts raining instantly so they can't go outside. The instant rain thing was funny in "Bart the Murderer" because it was a joke. Here it's a plot crutch for an already nonsensically weak plot. It won't be the last.
– Hey, a decent sign gag that didn't get read out load "Once Your Lungs Go Black, They Never Go Back".
– They put a new bathroom in the house for no discernible reason. It's under the stairs because Patty & Selma were by the stairs. They want to smoke there because, for some other indiscernible reason, Homer didn't put smoke detectors in the bathroom. This show cannot even maintain a joke, much less a story. It'd almost be impressive in its sloppiness if we hadn't seen it so many times before.
– Hey, look, the main story has arrived! The water in the bathroom caught on fire.
– Lisa just scrolled over a bunch of movies titles on her tablet. They were supposed to be depressing documentaries, so most of them were just "noun of death".
– Hey, it's a joke free explanation of fracking. I love it when they pre-explain things.
– So, Lisa and Bart just teleported into the Rich Texan's office where she exposited for a while, before he told us he was going to dance, then danced. I realize that sentence makes no sense to anyone who hasn't seen this episode, but, trust me, you're not missing anything.
– Lisa discovers there's a fracking site in the neighborhood by looking at a satellite picture. Why? Because they're keeping people away with a sign that says "Women's Basketball Hall of Fame". How did she never notice this building that is in her neighborhood? Don't ask. But they compound it by having her praise women's basketball, which makes the whole thing make even less sense.
– Also too, the kids just walked into the building. Then Burns and Smithers pull up in a cart and Burns begins explaining things to Lisa. Is there any reason for him to do this? No. Is it the opposite of something Burns would actually do? Yes.
– Lisa then exposits the existence of Maxine Lombard, a Nancy Pelosi type voiced by Jane Fonda. I miss Mary Bailey.
– After a really boring and repetitive hearing, Burns just barged into her office for a slow, cliche filled fall in love moment between Burns and Not Pelosi. They apparently slept on the floor under a flag for some reason.
– Hey, how about another non-sequitor? Now Burns needs to buy the mineral rights under Evergreen Terrace. How do we know this? Because he just told us. Does it have anything to do with his romance with whatshername? Of course not. Jebus this script is sloppy.
– And, right on cue, Burns picks Homer to be his salesman.
– We then get a series of quick cuts of Homer being good at his new job. It ate some time.
– Marge and Lisa are opposed to this, of course, with Marge reminding that "the water was on fire". She will be saying this a lot.
– Homer wins some kind of debate with Frink (don't ask) and now everyone has sold their mineral rights. Burns, being Zombie Burns, has second thoughts and asks Homer for relationship advice.
– Homer has the "signed gas leases", which are all complete except for Marge's signature not being on one. This somehow comes as a surprise during a ceremony to turn on the fracking. Then Burns and whatshername have a breakup as cliched and nonsensical as when they got together. Also, Smithers is back after a long and unexplained absence.
– Burns was going to fire Homer, but now they're talking about relationships again. Then a wrecking ball breaks into Burns Manor because whatshername decided to . . . you know what? Screw this. It's too weird and nonsensical even to recap.
– Hey, there's an NPR guy who shows up, tells us his name, and then wanders off.
– Now Burns and Homer are turning the fracking machine back on out of revenge or something.
– Want to know what's happening? The show will gladly tell you:
Marge: Is one of the side effects of fracking earthquakes?
Lisa: Yes.
Glad we cleared that up.
– Jane Fonda just showed back up out of nowhere
– And Marge just repeated the water thing for the sixth time or so. Oh, and now Homer's burning down the fracking thingie and it explodes.
– Because the ending was apparently not explained enough already, Burns is helpfully expositing it some more.
– And it ends with Burns and whatshername in bed being boring to run out the clock. What a mess.
Anyway, the numbers are in and, sans football, they are expectedly terrible. Just 4.24 million people wished they were seeing Burns run his Slant Drilling Company again. That's the lowest of the young season and good for #7 on the all time least watched list.
There's a very clear dichotomy now between the weeks when FOX has a late NFL game and when they don't. The three episodes this year with a football lead were watched by 8.50 million, 7.34 million, and 7.64 million viewers. The two episodes without a football lead in were watched by 4.32 and 4.24 million viewers. FOX does have a late national game next week for the Futurama crossover, so I fearlessly predict that episode will get somewhere in the 7 million viewers range. And while I'm still expecting the renewal notice any day, the show clearly can't stand on its own anymore.

Cutaway model of an influenza virus particle showing internal structures. Superficially you can see the spikes of Haemagglutinin (red) and Neuraminidase (squarish and yellow). These spikes pass through the greenish viral envelope to dock with the underlying matrix (M) proteins shown in purple. Inside the matrix shell you can glimpse the dark yellow ribonucleoproteins that house the viral genome. Flu viruses have eight of these RNPs. If two or more strains infect the same cell, then progeny viruses can incorporate segments from more than one parent leading to new and possibly more dangerous strains. This is called genetic reassortment. Flu occurs in seasonal epidemics and periodically as major pandemics.

Businesses that have many employees with company-sponsored benefits frequently employ a benefits coordinator. Much of the coordinator's work centers around helping to administer the organization's health plan, including providing information and processing related documentation. Additionally, the coordinator may be tasked with overseeing employees' earned vacation time and providing data to middle managers for staffing and scheduling needs. Additionally, the benefits coordinator may be the company's liaison between employees and the administrator of pension and retirement plans.Read More...
The benefits coordinator works with a heavy volume of information that affects a great number of employees, and they must be organized and adhere strictly to all company protocols related to records processing and entry. The coordinator must have a detailed knowledge of the employee and management health plan, including any tiers or differing packages, as well as how benefit payments work. Additionally, the benefits coordinator is expected to prepare detailed reports on the performance of the company health plan. He or she may need to research alternative plans on an ongoing basis to ensure the company is getting the most cost-effective set of benefits. The coordinator also needs to work with employees and managers interested in contributing earnings to any company-offered retirement and 401(k) plans.
An organization typically requires at least a bachelor's degree or equivalent in human resources or business administration for this position. The work environment for a benefits coordinator is typically in an office during regular business hours.
Add this chart to your site: 640px 300px
Though hard to find, Benefits Coordinators sometimes become Benefits Managers. The role averages $67K per year. Benefits Coordinators typically move into roles as Benefits Administrators or Benefits Specialists, and those positions pay $3K more and $2K more, respectively.
Survey results imply that Benefits Coordinators put a diverse skill set to use. Most notably, skills in Leave of Absence Administration, Payroll Administration, Human Resources Information System, and Benefits Administration are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 4 percent and 17 percent. It is often found that people who know Benefits Administration are also skilled in Microsoft Office.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For Benefits Coordinators, experience does not seem to be a major factor in determining pay. Workers with less than five years' experience earn around $38K on average, and those who have five to 10 years under their belts see a higher median salary of $41K. The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $44K. Old hands boasting more than twenty years of relevant experience report pay that is more or less commensurate with that extensive experience; average earnings for this group come out to approximately $49K.

Couple already wants to adopt newborn girl abandoned at Grand Forks fire station
GRAND FORKS - The story of the baby girl left in a cardboard box outside a Grand Forks fire station Saturday morning gripped people fast.
Lori Krasovich was perusing the internet about 1 p.m. Saturday and saw the Herald's story on the baby girl in a box.
She quickly ripped off an e-mail to the Herald reporter: "I want to adopt this baby if no one else wants her."

The perils of ingesting food that has any contact with a Monsanto-produced product are in the news on nearly a weekly basis. As Dr. Jeff Ritterman has documented, Monstanto's herbicide, Roundup, has been linked to a fatal kidney disease epidemic, and has also been repeatedly linked to cancer. Recently, a senior research scientist at MIT predicted that glyphosate, the key ingredient in Roundup, will cause half of all children to have autism by 2025.

Marijuana License Fee May Increase
Layoffs in the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office, raising permit fees for marijuana cooperatives and doubling zip tie fees are topics on the Board of Supervisors Tuesday agenda. Mendocino County Sheriff Tom Allman listed seven sworn positions for layoff, as the board directed him to do during its Nov. 30 meeting. "The sheriff recommends that additional funding be allocated to the Sheriff's Office, to avoid cuts to Public Safety," Allman writes under the portion of the agenda summary marked "recommended action/motion." Allman's list includes two sergeants whose layoffs would save $61,130 and $54,044; three deputies whose layoffs would save $41,202, $36,387 and $33,608; and two corrections deputies whose layoffs would save $39,644 and $37,482.
The layoffs, if they are approved, would be effective Jan. 22. Estimated savings for the remaining 2010-11 fiscal year is $303,497, and the annual savings would be $693,138. The discussion is scheduled to take place at 9:30 a.m. Allman is also proposing to raise the current $1,050 fee to grow up to 99 marijuana plants to $1,500, a 42-percent increase. He also proposes doubling the cost of his zip ties, which growers attach to each marijuana plant that meets legal parameters, from $25 to $50."It has been determined that the marijuana cooperative license fee process requires more time," a summary justifying the increase states. "The more accurate time estimate is 20 hours. Implementation and oversight of the permit

HAVE: ariocarpus fissuratus seeds
I have some ariocarpus seeds to trade. These are seeds from my own plants. I just harvested them this week. If anyone is interested, I would like to trade for anything tropical. This could include Brugs, plumerias, etc. Make me an offer, but I do not want any palms, cacti, or agaves. No desert plants, period. But, I am open to any other offers.
hi HW
I have been looking for ariocarpus for a long time, but they are impossible to find around here!
I have all kinds of tropicals -
Mostera - giant and what I think is a (much smaller) sport
Dieffenbachia - giant and miniature
Coleus -- three very unique color combinations
Begonia - Angel Wing 'Lana' and another unknown miniature
Jasmine - white star
Wistaria - purple flowers
Philo - heart-leaf, red-stem and pointed-leaf
Pothos - reg and varig.
Arrowhead - two kinds
Peace lily - two kinds
Spider plants - reg. and varig.
I don't have any brugs or plum. yet, but there is a guy on Houseplant forum that has hundreds of them. Put your trade wish on the Houseplant Exchange and you'll probably get takers w/ brug/plum.

Main River, Frankfurt am Main
10 Reviews
10 Reviews
Favorite thing:
For me Frankfurt is one of the most interesting German cities. Certainly during summertime. As for your running, indeed take the walkpath along the river, or the 'green zones' through the city. There is always something to do : either a festival, animation,... in the center, near Romer.
Have fun !
Favorite thing:
Don't you just love a city that has a river running through it. Frankfurt has the River Main, a tributary of the Rhine river, dissecting it. We spent quite a bit of time walking by the river in Frankfurt, as our hotel was located close to the river and it was an easy way to get to/from the centre of town. I find a river stroll is a wonderful way to take a break from 'traditional' sight-seeing, and relax for a while.
If you prefer to get out onto the water, you can do a river cruise and see some of the sights as you motor by, or even go on a romantic dinner cruise. Boats leave from just near the Eiserner Steg.
Fondest memory: There is a paved path that runs along the city side of the river. I highly recommend a stroll, and there are plenty of benches along the way if you want to take a break and watch the passing scenes.
Favorite thing: Whereever you have a river you will have bridges - and Frankfurt is not any different! I was surprised to find quite a few pedestrian bridges over the river Main - as well as regular street and train bridges as well, of course! For a great variety of pictures, have a look here.
Favorite thing: You can take a cruise along the waterfront and get great views of the city. The speed at which a riverboat travels and the leisurely feel of the ride makes this a great way to get an initial feel for the place. Of course, walking is the best way to truly get to know a place, but the photos are better from a boat!
Favorite thing:
If you can get your hands on a bike from a friend, hotel or even rental place, this is the way to get around Frankfurt.
Frankfurt is flat and scenic and great to see by bike. Adventure down narrow, cobble-stone streets that you would otherwise not see.
The best bike route is along the River Main. You can ride along the North side of the river for about 35km. Its mostly a beautiful track winding along the river... past small towns, summer beer gardens, old churches...
Gute Reise!
Favorite thing:
Go down to the Main river as it is very picturesque. If you get a chance, try to take a trip down the river on one of the tour boats. I would love to tell you what they are like, however, we couldn't find the bloody things! It was one thing that I would have liked to have done.
Fondest memory: One thing I really do miss about Germany as a whole, is the fact that it is so clean.
Frankfurt for a huge city is very clean. They seem to really be into recycling as well with bins everywhere marked off for different paper, plastic and bottle sections.
If only everywhere in the world could be so conscious of how nice a clean city is!
Favorite thing: You can have a nice view of downtown Frankfurt just by walking along the "Main" or on one of its bridges.
Favorite thing: During Summer, stroll, cycle, rollerblade or sit by the River Main and watch the people go by... such a relaxing way to spend a weekend and you really feel the vibe of this small city.
Favorite thing: walk along the river Main. I found it very pleasant to just sit on the grass and watch the boats. The promenade along the river seems like an excellent place to bike, as well.
Favorite thing: Visit the bridge over the Main river. A picturese view of the financial part of the city, so called Frankfurm Manhattan can be seen from there.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Abba Amsterdam
Turned the holiday into a living nightmare
This place ruined our holiday! A few friends and myself were unlucky to discover we where sharing the room with a large family of mice! A few days into the stay I spotted what I thought was a mouse in the room one night, a few minutes later I saw another mouse pop its head out from the kitchen. As a friend went into another room to tell the guy in there, he spotted another. After moving the furniture to check for mouse droppings, we found mouse traps down the back of the radiators and underneath our beds! Obviously the owners where aware of the mouse problem. The ground floor is an old disused car showroom - I suspect this is where they are coming from. The group of us spent the night awake, knowing mice were all over the place where we slept. We got our money back the next morning without much fuss (probably because we where a group of guys in no mood to be messed about). We spent the next 2 hours roaming Amsterdam trying to find somewhere else to stay.
Alright for an Amsterdam Honeymoon!
I spent a long weekend here with my husband, and our best mates, for our honeymoon. We had a fantastic time. Felt safe with the security boxes in the hotel. The stairs were mad, especially when trying to negotiate them stoned and drunk in the early hours... Breakfast was fantastic - no matter the state we were in, we made it for breakfast.
Excellant lining to the stomach for serious sight seeing! The rooms were basicallly tidy, and teh towels fresh and clean everyday. We had no complaints. Thanks Hotel Abba...
Great for a 1-star
we booked in to Abba out of necessity - the hostels were full, but got a very pleasant surprise. For about the same price as a hostel two of us got a private room, TV with loads of channels and clean towels everyday. The staff were friendly and helpful, and I'll definitely stay there again. The stairs are a bit steep, so I would'nt recommend it to my grandmother - but as a cheap, no-frills stay it's perfect.
Nice for budget traveling!
Stayed here in fall of '02 with friends. Stairs getting to the rooms were a killer. Once there, the rooms were big for a budget hotel. Not to mention, we had our own toilet (also odd for a budget European hotel)! Some rooms have a little patio overlooking tops of smaller buildings. Ours had a giant window that didn't open facing the busy street. Not the best views...no canals in sight. Breakfast was good and filling. All in all, it was well worth it for a budget hotel!
We stayed here for 6 days in May-June, and our room would have been fine if only they had cleaned it. Unfortunately on 3 days out of 6 it was left untouched, and twice we had to request the day's clean towels from reception. We were told this was because the hotel is only 2-star!
We are very used to 2-star hotels, but this is the first time I've experienced one where cleaning/tidying is not carried out daily - a necessity when two people camp in one room for a week. NB breakfasts are the standard Dutch breakfast, nothing special.
Good - Not Great
There's a maxim to be applied to cheap hotels like the Abba - you get what you pay for. In that sense I can't be dissapointed with what we got- a basic, slightly crumbling room - but in a good location. The staff are indeed very friendly, the hotel is smoker friendly (it sells the smokers guide to Amsterdam), But the toilet was a problem. The smell emenating from there can only be descibed as powerful. It didn't help that the shower was right beside it, and on the same dank tiled floor, so that we couldn't shower for fear of ... yeuch, doesn't bear thinking about. Try as we might, and we did try - with bleach,air freshener - the smell of decaying faeces never left.I can't complain - we had a great stay, and if you can stand the odd inconvenience (like having to wearshoes walking around the room or in the toilet), and not being able to shower, you'll be fine. I just feel that with more attention paid to cleanliness, this could be a little gem.
Hotel abba did it for us!
We stayed in the hotel abba in august last year the rooms are very clean the staff very polite and although it isnt in amsterdam central it was only a two minute tram ride to get there it is located near leidseplein which has excellent food and bars and nightlife we will definately be going back this year so everyone at hotel abba see you soon!
Great location, Great value
I have stayed there several times and found it to be a great spot to explore Amsterdam from. The room was clean and well furnished and the staff was most patient with all the typical tourist questions. Tram #1 & 6 stop right in front of hotel and around the corner are tram stops for the other main routes in the city. Also only one block from Vondel Park and the wonderful terrace cafe there. Very reasonable room rate, I would rather spend my cash on all the "other" indulgences you find in this great city. Hope you enjoy your stay as much as I did.
P.S. EXCELLENT breakfast and delicious coffee!!!
Excellent value
The hotel is on a busy road, with shops opposite, trams, bikes and cars everywhere. The entrance to the hotel is up a steep dark set of stairs under a disused car garage and did not look promising. However, when we opened the door ro reception we were met with a bright and cheerful room and friendly and helpful staff.
We had booked a twin room, and when we got to it we were pleased to find it large and clean with wardrobes and a dressing table. The bathroom opposite was clean and we were only sharing it with one other room. Although our room faced onto the busy road (complete with roadworks while we stayed there!), once the window was shut we really couldn't hear anything from outside.
The breakfast was superb, with toast, eggs, ham, cheese, cereal- all spread out in another cheerful room off reception. The other guests seemed to be a mix of young people, families and businessmen types.
The hotel is a little way out of central Amsterdam (about a 15 minute walk), but there is plenty to see as you walk in and there are tram stops along the road. There are lots of restaurants and cafes nearby, and there is a supermarket across the road from the hotel.
I would definitely stay here again.

Fire Station Field Trip
Posted by Jane MItchell at 6:23 PM No comments:
K-1 Weekly Newsletter
Dear Families, November 7, 2014
O si yo! Our trip to McQuade's will be the week of the 17th . Because this field trip is weather dependent, I will not make the final decision until I know the weather forecast. I have included a permission slip so please sign and send back by next Friday. This trip is intended to be an educational experience. The children will be able to pick out a food item, place it in our cart and go through the check out. If you can volunteer to join us please let me know in the blue book. In addition to our trip, we also have a basket in the class to collect non-perishable items for the food pantry. You may send them in at any time. As you may imagine, this time of year can be challenging for some families and your contributions help spread kindness and joy to those in need. Thank you!
We continue to practice our listening skills, reading different sight words, recognizing letter sounds, inventive spelling and numbers. We are now learning about Native Americans through our literature, languages, stories, crafts, local history and artifacts. We will have a celebration (powwow) after the Thanksgiving break.
Thank you for sending in different 3-dimensional objects for our shape museum. The children have fun finding concrete objects at home and in the classroom to share with their peers. It really helps them recall and retain the names of each shape. We are currently learning cone, sphere, cylinder, cube, rectangular prism and pyramid. The 2-dimensional shapes we have been learning are circle, triangle, rectangle, hexagon, square, rhombus and trapezoid. In the classroom, they learn by using the 2-D magnetic blocks to construct larger 2-D shapes and 3-D objects.
Centers this week:
Listening: The children listened to The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses and drew about their favorite part.
Math: The children played a game using ten frames.
Computer: The children played games using the Lexia program, reviewing beginning and ending sounds and rhyming based on their individual skills. (I have included a sheet with your child's name and password (mitchell) so your children can access their account on Lexia from their home computers).
Art: The children created an animal mask to use while acting out Mrs. Wishy-washy.
Please remember that parent/teacher conferences are also scheduled for the week of the 17th. Each conference is scheduled for 20 minutes. Please help me remain on schedule by arriving on time and concluding our meeting within the 20 minute time frame. If you find you need more time to discuss your child's progress we can schedule another time to do so. Please remember to attend. I am including a confirmation letter that needs to be signed and returned. Please mark the date on your calendar and return this sheet to me. Thanks! I am looking forward to meeting with you and discussing your child's progress.
Kindergarten has a holiday performance which will be held before the Christmas break. We have not confirmed the date with the music department, but I thought it might be helpful to know ahead of time for planning purposes. I will let you know the date when we confirm it. In the past, it is has been scheduled in the morning of the last day before Christmas break. More information to come.
Please remember there is no school next Tuesday, November 11th, 2014 to observe Veteran's Day. Don't forget to go to Godena Farm this weekend to check out the Melrose School scarecrows. Our scarecrow is Rapunzel in her castle. Have fun!!! I've been editing and organizing photos for our kindergarten blog…thanks for your patience. Hopefully I will be adding new posts today.
Have a relaxing weekend!

Dear Families, October 31, 2014
O si yo! Hello in Cherokee! It is hard to believe that it's already November. This month we will be learning different Native American languages. We will be counting in Lakota, singing a lullaby in Iroquois and learning a song in Navajo. The author of the month is Jim Arnosky. He is our introduction to non-fiction writing. He is a New England writer and focuses on local animals. Because animals play such an important role in many Native cultures, this literature seems the most appropriate, interesting and well connected. We will listen to a variety of drumming music and songs throughout our exploration of Native Americans. We will have a teepee set up in the classroom and I will be reading and telling native legends to the children. The children will also learn how the local Narragansett Indians made Conanicut Island their summer residence. We hope to walk to the local library to view some of the artifacts in the Sydney Wright Museum. The artifacts were all found on the island. It's a very exciting and interesting topic to teach the children and they love learning about it as well.
We completed two writing assessments recently. One of the assessments asks the children to draw and write two facts about autumn. They are asked to draw and do their best writing. The other assessment asks a comprehension question the children must answer after reading the book Apples and Pumpkins by Anne Rockwell. They are asked to do their best job 'writing' to describe their idea. They did a good job on both pieces and really enjoy learning to write. They are all very excited about their achievements. Thank you for encouraging this at home as well. I enjoy when they bring in stories they've written at home or items to share for our seasonal shelf too.
Next week, we will begin reading many books that explore different Native American tribes but we will try and focus on the Narragnsett Indians. We have a wonderful map of the island that we can refer to when discussing the location of landmarks in Jamestown such as Beavertail, Watson Farm, Sheffield Cove and Ft. Getty. We will also locate the children's address on our map too.
Each November we ask families to donate food (canned goods, boxed items, etc.) for our local food pantry. We will have a basket available to collect the food in our classroom. We also ask you to have your children save their pennies and coins so they can buy a food item when we take our annual field trip to McQuade's Market. We will count the money together and the children will have an opportunity to look in the McQuade's weekly food flyer and figure out what they would like to purchase with the money they've saved. All the food will be donated to the food pantry. This math activity is intended to be a meaningful event, so please help them out by giving them jobs to do so they can earn the money. We are planning to go to McQuade's the week of the 17th. The weather will determine the actual day. There will be more information to come in the next few weeks.
Wish list: It would be wonderful to receive more disinfectant wipes and Kleenex to help keep our room germ free. Also, please make sure your child is dressed warmly for outdoor play as the weather gets colder.
No school on next Tuesday, November 4th due to Election Day and Veteran's Day the following Tuesday, Nov. 11th. Also, I will be sending a confirmation notice to each of you with the date and time of your parent/teacher conference next week.
I hope you were able to go to Godena Farm to see all the wonderful and original scarecrows that all the children at Melrose School created. Our scarecrow was evidence of all the wonderful ideas and work your children did to help create Rapunzel and her castle. This was a group effort although a huge thank you goes to my daughter Haley Barber who created the castle for the children to paint. The children came up with all the fantastic ideas and each took part in creating something for the project. It was very exciting for them to experience working cooperatively to complete such a project. It helped to build community, friendship and respect for one another. I will post pictures on my kindergarten blog so you can check out the process. It was rather tricky taking pictures and guiding them at the same time. Imagine lots of sticky fingers, paintbrushes loaded with paint and crystals everywhere!
Have a happy Halloween! Ms. Mitchell
