The countdown has begun and only a few days By Sydney Oleson until Halloween. What will you be? Will you be going out and trick- or- treat? Or stay Nightmares on home and watch some scary movies or scary movies that have been tamed. The choice is Christmas? up to you but, real question is….. Do you believe in magic? The Nightmare Before Christmas is a movie about a skeleton named Jack Skelington. He lives in a town called Halloweentown, but in his search he stumbles upon a place known as Chistmastown. He then believes that he can be Santa and instead of having Halloween this year, he wants to have Christmas. He has all of the neighbors in his town make "pres- ents" out of things that children would not want. When you were little, I'm sure you had a favorite Hal- loween movie, where whenever it came on, you were on the couch with your brothers and sisters, moms and dads, and even your friends. Not all Halloween movies have a scary aspect though. Movies like Hocus Pocus, The Nightmare before Christ- mas, which can also be a favorite Christmas movie, and Beetlejuice have a tamer side to them. If you've never seen them here's a summary about each. In the movie Hocus Pocus, filmed in 1993, three witches, known as the Sanderson sisters lived in Salem, Massachu- setts in the 1600s. After taking children's lives to make them "pretty and young," these three witches magically "disappear" and put a spell on themselves so if someone lit the black candle they would come back. On Halloween night in 1993, a virgin lit the black candle and brought the three sisters back to life. Flying over the town the Salem, trying to catch a little girl named Dan- ny, her brother Max, his crush, Allison, and a cat named Thackery Binx, who are trying to stop the sisters from tak- ing children for power and trying to make them look good. Eventually, these sisters get defeated. Beetle-What? Beetlejuice, filmed in 1988, stars Alec Baldwin, Winona Ryder, and Michael Keaton, who plays Beetlejuice. After getting into a car crash on a bridge after coming back from the store, Adam and Barbra Maitland get killed. Little do they know that they are dead. After the accident the house they were living in was put up for sale and soon after bought by a family with a daughter, Winona Ryder, who could see ghosts. Barbra and Adam were trying to "haunt" the family to get them out, but they couldn't so the last thing to do they found an ad for. Beetlejuice was their last resort. After say- ing his name three times he appeared. Little did they know, things were going to get ugly. The ghosts were fading and were nearly gone and the only hope of getting them back Beetlejuice insisted on marrying Lydia Deetz, played by Winona Ryder.

La Aurora Preferidos Cameroon #1 5 Pack
La Aurora Preferido #1 cigars are BIG double perfectos blended with specially-aged, full-bodied Dominican tobaccos surrounded by oak barrel-aged African Cameroon wrappers. Crafted to recapture the hearty flavor and aroma of the original 1903 blend, these cigars are a must try. So, try 5 now!
This is supposed to be a flagship cigar for La Aurora, but it falls short of its promise. This cigar is not complex or unique and burns unevenly with a difficult draw at the begging. This is is simply not worth the hype of the price.
I'm a huge fan of Cammy wrappers so I decided to break down and order a 5-pack. I certainly am happy I did. They're perfectly constructed, have a great appearance, excellent burn, and a ton of flavor... who's profile is very "Cuban-esque" with loads of leather and roasted nuts. My only complaint is that the size description (6 x 58) is deceiving. The shape of the cigar lends itself to a quicker smoke, and I wanted this to last all night long.
I purchased a 5 pack and gave them about 5 months in my humi. While they are well made and burn perfectly, the level of flavour from the cigar is in my opinion, sub par. I've smoked all 5 and while i somewhat enjoyed them, i won't be a repeat purchaser. There are much better preferidos out there for less money. But they do look beautifull!
Smoked my first one on my birthday yesterday. Was not sure what to expect, but after firing this guy up, I knew I was in for a great b-day treat. Ceder filled the room and everyone noticed that something fantastic was going on. Just a great cigar, construction, burn, draw, and flavor, were right on. The cami was great. If you can afford them, smoke them. Life is too short not to.

Love can make people commit mistakes, follies and do many other silly things. Would anybody in his right mind risk his life, move under the rays of laser guns, break legs in the stone conglomerations, carry dreadful bombs and wander into fatal mazes?

Soft Lite Casement Window Pricing
We've gotten several quotes on different windows from different installers, and have interest in the Soft Lite Imperial LS. We need 19 casement, approximately 36x60 inches each. Anyone have an idea about what would be a fair price including installation? We were quoted $21K which seems excessive.
Not really crazy, t depends.. Its a solid window and im sure the installers are just as good. Look at it as an investment.
However, Is this new construction, replacing moulding ect.., or just simple replacement.
If it is a basic replacement with only Double pane glass, its a bit on the high side. Triple pane krypton, not crazy high.
Thanks for the information doorproz. This is for double pane replacement in a sun room. Extremely simple replace / install (IMO). There are some variations in size from 36x60 (35x60, 32x60 etc.), but the removal of old and the install itself have to be one of the simplest. The existing 2x8 framework against stone pillars and sills are straight and true.
The Softlite is a MUCH better performer. You might consider another quote or two due to the price discrepancy. Lots of variables as doorproz alluded to. Depending on where you are located, I'd look at the Himark, Okna, and Sunrise Restorations/Vanguard lines for products of comparable quality and performance to the Softlite. They are all top tier performers.
The Soft-lite pricing does seem a bit on the high side based on what has been said about the installation. As HomeSealed said, a couple more quotes on quality products should help you determine what is a fair price for a better grade window. Are the windows white, grids, woodgrain interior, etcâ¦..?
Champion should be avoided at all costs.
Thanks to all for responses. Very helpfull.
All replacements are straight vinyl without grain or lattice, etc.. 3 are LoE366; rest are LoE. Just request another final quote for the SoftLite at $14,800. Much better price and it includes a pine painted sill replacement for each also.
Also just received a competitive bid for Vista Windows (Warren Ohio) for $9600. I'm sure the SoftLite is a better window, but anyone familiar with the Vista? I'm targeting Thursday for a final decision if possible.
Vistas is, depending on series, a decent vinyl window but not commonly held in the same category or class with Soft-Lite.
While I agree that a $5,000 spread is real money and should certainly require consideration, I would only stress that it is pennies per month per window if you look at the overall lifetime and performance of the window.
This comparison is also devoid of any consideration on the installation end of things. How, if any comparison was stressed or completed, did the installers stack up against one another.

Day 178
There's a rainbow over the harbour this morning, I wonder if that means rain or sunshine will prevail. Before we leave we update the blogs and book a hotel in the airport in Doha for our stopover when we return from Namibia. We should get to the port today, so possibly sail tonight. The scenery today is lovely, the hills wirh the mountains beyond have a look of the Lake District. There are a lot of the wetland areas with masses of storks feeding. Doris, or rather ...
Not much of an exploration
... When we got back to the port, the Costa Magica had pulled in next to us. What a difference! People everywhere!
A quiet day on board. I managed to insult a very rude woman who pushed in front of me then went on and on and on asking questions about Istanbul. I finally asked if it was ok to interrupt this woman who had pushed in front of me. The other highlight was sitting ...

... We debated our options: go to the ship doctor; take some anti-biotics; or try to get treatment ashore. Ed of course opted to keep it simple, and he started on an AZ pack (Azythromycin). There went our plan to take the CircumVesuviana train to some of the ruins (Villa Poppea, owned by the 2nd wife of Nero, the wife who had his first wife killed so she could marry him), and on to Sorrento.

We were having a Contiki prepared included dinner, it was very nice, then we had a toga tieing demo, as we were having a toga party that night. After dinner we had a Greek island hopping meeting – just a basic run down, with the main thing being that in Athens we would be picked up from the end hotel from this tour and taken to the island hopping start hotel.

Each level had two sub levels, and i was on the top one of that, also my room was in the middle of the hill, as the road went up both sides. So the

Fabio Viviani Celebrates Back to School With Some Chicken Parm Goodness
The 'Top Chef' fave makes the kid-approved dish, and has fun doing it.
Fabio Viviani has a history when it comes to cooking fried chicken for kids, thanks to a batch of chicken fingers he whipped up during a kid-themed Top Chef episode. Nowadays, post-competition, he's a bit more comfortable with children, and he's still able to make chicken into a downright delicious-looking meal.
What's the key to Fabio's chicken parmesean, the one iconic southern Italian bird-based meal that's become an American staple? Well, it involves -- in Fabio's words -- using the "punishment side" of a meat mallet. The tenderizing side is employed, and per Fabio: "The best way to pound your chicken is when it's not looking."
Want to learn how to make some rock star chicken parm? Watch Fabio in the video, and get ready for a whole new dose of Fabio when Life After Top Chef hits Bravo in October!

Half of Triangle's employment gains are in low-paying jobs
- Chris Bagley
- Staff Writer- Triangle Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
RALEIGH – About half of the Triangle's post-recession job growth has been concentrated in a handful of low-paying service industries, raising questions about the strength of the economic recovery here.
Restaurants, hotels, retail stores and entertainment venues such as bowling alleys employed more than 113,000 people in Wake and Durham counties in 2011, nearly 5 percent more than in 2009, according to a Triangle Business Journal analysis of U.S. Labor Department data published in the summer. The local private sector grew by just 2 percent in those years, to about 527,000 employees.
The retail and hospitality sectors are noted for relatively low pay. General merchandise stores, a category that includes department stores like Macy's and discount stores such as Target, pay an average of $20,500 a year. Local headcount at such stores grew by 8 percent last year, to about 15,300, as new retail locations such as a Target-anchored shopping center in Morrisville opened.
Growth was just as dramatic among local restaurants and bars, where headcount grew by nearly 7 percent, to 46,000. Food-service employees earned an average of $15,400 last year; that total reflects large numbers of part-time workers, and excludes unreported tips, but it's still far below the average pay of $52,900 in the private sector.
Wake County Economic Development Director Ken Atkins notes that many such workers are young people who work part-time while studying for degrees that lead to higher-paying careers. "It's important to have a well-balanced economy" with healthy growth across all sectors, Atkins says.
Still, restaurants' and retailers' relatively low pay is one reason why economic developers don't actively seek to recruit them. North Carolina's economic-development incentives generally reward companies that create jobs paying more than the local median wage, Commerce Department spokesman Josh Ellis says.
To be sure, the Triangle has benefited recently from strong growth in high-paying industries such as telecommunications and information technology. Across the Triangle's private sector as a whole, workers earned an average of $52,900 in 2011, up 5 percent from 2009.
Still, a wide range of mid-paying industries have grown only marginally since 2009. Employment in North Carolina hospitals rose just 0.1 percent between 2009 and 2011, to 113,283. In the Triangle, physician practices grew a bit less than 1 percent, to 9,100. Several categories of manufacturing shrank.
Such industries' slower growth suggests a widening gap between the top and bottom of the pay scale.
Lagging incomes at the middle and bottom of the pay scale have been a drag on many of the businesses that rely on low-wage work. Morningstar analyst R. J. Hottovy says restaurant companies are back in growth mode nationally, but have continued to rely on heavy discounting, which has kept a lid on their profit margins. As a result, individual locations are frugal in their scheduling of workers, says Hottovy.

Commercial testing laboratories that offer services for trace metals analysis have realized a variety of potential growth opportunities given the current passing of various local and international regulations aimed to minimize environmental and consumer exposure to certain metals. However, these opportunities do not come without their own set of challenges, since laboratories must maintain competitive analysis fees while addressing increased throughput demands and developing methods to successfully prepare and analyze a wide variety of sample matrices.
A well-recognized and effective technique employed by testing labs for trace metals analysis requires acid digestion of samples in a closed-vessel microwave system followed by elemental analysis by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Compared to more traditional digestion techniques, such as hot plate and hot block, microwave technology enables chemists to perform acid digestions of a variety of matrices at much higher temperatures and pressures. These factors maximize data quality and minimize sample turnaround time.
Traditional microwave digestion systems using individual pressurized reactors are utilized by various laboratories and industries across the world. However, new advancements in microwave technology can greatly improve the sample preparation process for commercial testing labs and positively impact sample throughput and work flow efficiency. This technology will enable laboratories to eliminate cleaning, minimize sample handling, process difficult sample types, digest large sample sizes for detection or homogeneity purposes, and run completely mixed samples and chemistries together.
Single Reaction Chamber (SRC) technology, which is utilized in the UltraWAVE microwave system (Milestone Inc., Shelton, CT), allows the processing of up to 22 samples simultaneously at extremely high temperatures (up to 300 °C) and pressures (up to 199 bar). SRC eliminates many of the bottlenecks in commercial testing labs and facilitates complete, high-quality digestions of almost any matrix.
At the heart of the system is a single, pressurized, stainless steel chamber containing a microwave absorbing base load (usually a mixture of water and hydrogen peroxide) into which the samples are placed. This chamber also acts like a microwave cavity. The base load absorbs the microwaves, heats up, and transfers the heat to the samples by conduction. Acting like a heat sink, the base load uniformly heats all the samples to the same temperature, thus eliminating the need for heavy rotors. In other words, the temperature of the base load, monitored by a temperature probe, represents the temperature of all the samples. At the end of the digestion cycle the chamber is automatically depressurized in a controlled manner, and the gases produced during digestion are vented through the exhaust line (see Figure 1).
Samples can be directly weighed into disposable glass, autosampler type vials with the appropriate acid mixtures; no minimum acid quantity is required. Quartz and TFM vials can also be used, depending on the user's application. This minimizes acid handling and transfer steps, and reduces errors due to contamination and the chemist's exposure to acids. Also, it completely eliminates the need to clean, assemble, and disassemble vessels used in conventional microwave systems, while lowering the expenditure on consumables.
SRC technology enables the user to pre-pressurize the reaction chamber to 40 bar of pressure before microwave heating. This pre-pressurization prevents the acids from boiling and spitting, which in turn prevents cross-contamination and loss of volatiles. The sample vials are covered by loose-fitting caps that prevent condensation from the roof of the chamber from dripping into the sample. The caps ensure pressure equilibrium on either side of the vials, which makes it possible to use inexpensive, disposable glass vials at high pressures. Also, the caps eliminate the need to torque down or seal vessels, which are commonly seen in closed-vessel systems, consequently eliminating vessel assembly and disassembly steps.
Commercial testing labs often encounter samples such as polymers, oils, and pharmaceutical products that have a high organic content and generate pressure due to the formation of CO2 and NOx gases in large quantities. In closed-vessel systems, digestion of such samples requires special rotors and vessels capable of withstanding pressures up to at least 100 bar. The high-pressure capability of the SRC microwave allows much higher sample weights to be digested in small amounts of acid.
A typical microwave program for the SRC systems involves a ramp to 240 °C over 20 min and a hold at that temperature for another 20 min. After completion of the digestion run, a cooling line that surrounds the reaction chamber rapidly cools the samples, as opposed to air-cooling mechanisms adopted by conventional closed-vessel systems. This drastically reduces the time between two digestion cycles.
Figure 2 shows an actual run performed on the UltraWAVE SRC microwave system. The red line denotes the temperature profile of the run with the actual temperature data, monitored 20 times per second, superimposed on it. The yellow line represents the power delivered by the magnetron. Power is automatically fluctuated using advanced proportional integral derivative (PID) controls from 0 W to 1500 W with 1-W increments to adhere to the temperature profile set by the user. The blue line indicates the pressure profile of the system, and the green line the external temperature of the reaction chamber.
Turnaround time calculation for samples takes into consideration the times required for vessel assembly, disassembly, cleaning, digestion cycle, and cooling times.1Figure 3 illustrates a run time comparison of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) digestions in a high-pressure rotor of a closed-vessel microwave versus the UltraWAVE and number of samples processed in each system in an 8-hr shift. It is evident from the figure that the UltraWAVE is twice as productive as the high-pressure rotor due to the complete elimination of the assembly and disassembly steps and much faster cool-down times. Figure 4 shows the same data for plant material digestion performed in a high-throughput, 24-position rotor versus the UltraWAVE. Despite the higher-capacity closed-vessel rotor, the UltraWAVE is still 1.5 times more productive.
Table 12 illustrates the analytical data obtained after digesting 0.5 of St. John's wort tablet in 4 mL HNO3 and 1 mL HCl and 1 g of fish oil gel cap (entire capsule) in 10 mL HNO3 and 1 mL HCl. For the digestion, 15 samples were digested simultaneously using 15-mL disposable glass vials (see Figure 5). Note that since different matrices are digested in the same run, the temperature required to digest the most difficult matrix was selected as the operating temperature for the run. Clean product was obtained after the run, and was diluted to 100 mL and analyzed for As, Cd, Pb, and Hg using an Agilent 7700x ICP-MS (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA).3
The ICP-MS was validated and operated in the helium collision mode.1 To test for recoveries, duplicate quality control samples were run and the third aliquot was spiked. A reagent blank was also spiked (laboratory fortified blank). The quantitative data, 3-sec detection limits, and QC data are shown in Table 1.
The values (expressed as μg/g or ppm) shown in Table 1 indicate that good spike recoveries were obtained. The pre-pressurization of the reaction chamber prevents cross-contamination, boiling/spitting of acids, and loss of volatile elements. This is evident from the high recoveries of Hg obtained during the process.
SRC microwave technology will be an extremely effective tool in a commercial testing lab environment that receives hundreds of different samples per day. Its ability to process multiple samples, irrespective of its matrix simultaneously at high temperatures and pressures, significantly increases productivity. The use of inexpensive disposable glass vials eliminates the need to clean, assemble, and disassemble vessels, which is required with conventional closed-vessel microwave systems. Autosampler type disposable vials also eliminate handling and transfer steps and the chemist's exposure to acids and reagent blanks. High digestion quality and convenience of use make SRC microwave technology an intelligent choice for sample preparation.
