Richards aiming high at Newcastle

Dean Richards is determined to enjoy similar success to that he enjoyed at Leicester Tigers when his tenure as Newcastle Falcons director of rugby begins in August.
Even though Newcastle could be playing in The Championship next season, depending on the outcome of London Welsh's appeal after initially being denied promotion, Richards is already focused on bringing long-term success to the Geordies. As coach of Leicester he won back-to-back Heineken Cups in 2001 and 2002 and five league titles.
"I want to win the league and Heineken Cup with Newcastle," Richards told The Rugby Paper. "It would be wrong to put a timescale on those goals, because they are dependent on quite a lot of things, but I would not have taken over if I did not think I could achieve those things. I want to achieve them as quickly as possible, but a lot of hard work will need to go in first."
Richards will begin his new job when his three-year ban for his involvement in the Harlequins bloodgate scandal ends. He has already given his blessing to Peter Russell's appointment as head coach and Graham Steadman's appointment as defence coach.
There have also been a number of new players through the doors at Kingston Park. Scotland international Scott MacLeod is likely to form a second row partnership with fellow new recruit Italian international Carlo Del Fava. Meanwhile Scotland international Rory Lawson will fill the void left by Peter Stringer at scrum-half.
It is the ability to attract such players to Newcastle that meant Richards was unable to turn down the club's offer when it came his way.
"A number of clubs came knocking at my door and I feel very proud to be back involved in the game," Richards said. "I felt with Semore Kurdi at the helm the club was going somewhere. It is the club's potential along with his ambition and vision that I really bought into. I am counting down the days. I am chomping at the bit. I have found it difficult not being involved, but I know I have not got long to go. I looked at some of the things that worked at Harlequins but I am coming to a completely different club. Leicester was a different club to Harlequins and the way I approach things at Newcastle will be totally different. I want us to play with confidence and ambition and not be afraid to have a go."

Different Backsplash materials
Now it is my turn to obsess over backsplash options. I have at least 10 samples that were either too busy, too white, etc. We ran into issues after templating and laying out my material for vein matching with a laminated edge. Unfortunately there were no more slabs in this light color of Prada Gold to be had. The baking center under the window will still have a 6 cm edge and the granite will run flush into the window as the sill material.
Since I have two different heights and wanted to further differentiate the range wall from the window wall, I am considering using a full height granite backsplash under my cabs on the range wall and painting or doing a subtle paintable wallpaper for the splash on the window wall. I do not have enough material left to do a full height splash on the window wall, too. If I use a single material such as a creamy subway tile, there will be a step in the splash where the two different counter heights meet.
My granite is busy and I love it. I don't want another pattern to compete with it, even if the color is a good match. The splash would not extend past the cabinet at the end of the run even though the counter does.
Thoughts TKOers? Thanks for your input!
I don't like the idea of granite behind the range wall because you have the stove with the high back.
You have two issue to address. For arguments sake, if you pick a subway tile, I don't think it will be an issue on the two different heights.
On the range wall, take the tiles to the end of the counter. Top with a bullnose tile. Put a picture, or even decorative shelves in that space.
I just can't see how you will end the granite if you use it on that wall.

Volume 17, No 13

SGR Repeal Flies Through House, Stalls in Senate
Behind the strong leadership of Rep. Michael Burgess, MD (R-Lewisville), and the bipartisan support of our Texas congressional delegation, the bill to repeal Medicare's hated Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) formula won overwhelming approval in the U.S. House of Representatives. Leaders in the upper chamber promise the Senate will take up the bill quickly when Congress returns April 13 from its Easter recess. See Wednesday's edition of TMA's Action newsletter for details on how Medicare will handle claims for services provided after April 1.
Reps. Kevin Brady (R-The Woodlands) and Gene Green (D-Houston) also cosponsored the bill, and Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Laredo) pushed hard to ensure it included language protecting Texas' medical liability reforms. In addition to Reps. Burgess, Brady, Green, and Cuellar, each of the following Texas members of Congress deserve thank-you letters or calls for their "yes" votes on HR 2, the Medicare and CHIP Reauthorization Act (see the TMA Grassroots Action Center for addresses and phone numbers for your representative): Reps. Ted Poe, Jeb Hensarling, Joe Barton, John Culberson, Al Green, Michael McCaul, Mike Conaway, Kay Granger, Mac Thornberry, Randy Weber, Beto O'Rourke, Bill Flores, Sheila Jackson Lee, Randy Neugebauer, Joaquin Castro, Lamar Smith, Pete Olson, Will Hurd, Roger Williams, Blake Farenthold, Eddie Bernice Johnson, John Carter, Pete Sessions, Marc Veasey, Filemon Vela, Lloyd Doggett, and Brian Babin.
TMA also appreciates the support of Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn of Texas, and will work with him during the two-week recess to ensure the Senate passes the bill and quickly puts a stake into the SGR. I also urge you to send calls and letters of support into Sen. Ted Cruz's office.
Another Round of Thank-Yous for TMA Members Testifying at the Legislature
Ten TMA member physicians took time away from their practice and took turns testifying for medicine in front of House and Senate committees last week. I send my wholehearted thanks and praise, and I think they deserve yours as well. In chronological order:
On the Road With Dr. King
With just more than a month left in his term, TMA President Austin King, MD, continues his nonstop travels on behalf of Texas physicians. His recent stops included a legislative update to the McLennan County Medical Society; the installation of Austin gastroenterologist Pradeep Kumar, MD, as the new president of the Travis County Medical Society; and a panel discussion at the leadership meeting of the Texas Society of Clinical Oncology that also included State Rep. Stephanie Click (R-Fort Worth) and TMA Trustee Lewis Foxhall, MD.
TMA's Choosing Wisely Campaign Has Made a Difference
We've closed the books on a very successful two-year campaign in support of the Choosing Wisely® program. The TMA Foundation received a grant from the ABIM Foundation to promote Choosing Wisely among Texas physicians. The program encourages physicians to discuss with patients the wisdom of many common tests or treatments that national specialty societies have identified as frequently unnecessary or inappropriate. Ninety-three percent of Texas physicians surveyed said they will continue to use Choosing Wisely in their practices. More than 600 physicians earned continuing medical education credit from our free — and ongoing — Choosing Wisely CME Bundle.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Signature intensity aside, Tom's on Cruise control now
There's a weirdly mesmerizing scene in Oblivion, Tom Cruise's new dystopian sci-fi flick.
000It involves Tom Cruise battling Tom Cruise. Now, when Tom Cruise fights, he wins -- because he's Tom Cruise. So what happens when they're both Tom Cruise?
Somewhere in the middle of this sequence, as TC expertly punches himself and just as expertly parries himself, it's clear that Cruise can deliver a take-charge, world-saving performance (or two) with streamlined efficiency and scary intensity.
But maybe Cruise's action-man mastery has reached a kind of stalemate. As the Tom vs. Tom fisticuffs suggest, Cruise's worst enemy might not be aliens or monsters or evil-doers. It might be Tom Cruise.
Love him or hate him, TC is a Hollywood star. He has screen-grabbing presence, and he embodies larger-than-life qualities that he carries from movie to movie. For some time now, his default setting has been laser-like intensity.
Oblivion, which is set after a devastating interplanetary war, showcases the best and the worst of that intensity. Playing a man who has been left behind to stave off alien marauders and clean up Earth, Cruise is really good at Doing Stuff. He applies his insanely focused competence to running, jumping, flying and motorcycling -- especially motorcycling, an activity that appears to be written into his film contracts at this point.
Put him on a bike, and he's pure kinetic energy, all speed and direction. (And his goggles conveniently bypass the need for facial expression.) Off the bike, and that trademark TC intensity has nowhere to go. In the slow-downy parts of Oblivion, you can see Cruise dutifully putting on his Thinking Face -- furrowed brow, set mouth. He resembles a pod-person trying to accurately replicate human behaviour.
The more Cruise works his movie-stardom, the less he's able to play human beings who have human-being problems. In Oblivion, he has scenes in which he wears a Yankees cap and a plaid shirt and shoots hoops and grins. But his Regular Joe is clearly just Tom Cruise slumming it, pretending to be "average" before he embraces his Hollywood destiny as world-saving, alien-blasting jumpsuit guy.
At this point in his filmography, Cruise seems more comfortable working on an apocalyptic scale. Oblivion certainly plays into that impulse, with stunning, empty landscapes that offer vast vistas in which the only person who exists is Tom Cruise. At the beginning of the movie, he's a maintenance guy doing solitary mop-up -- kind of like WALL-E with less self-awareness -- and he appears to be the only man on Earth.
You get the feeling he wouldn't mind keeping it that way. In recent Tom Cruise vehicles, people who aren't Tom Cruise tend to be treated like support staff, necessary to the smooth running of the storyline but expected to quietly fade into the background when the boss arrives. In Oblivion, even Morgan Freeman -- Mr. Gravitas himself, a man who's played the American president, a man who's played God! -- has to scooch over whenever Tom is on screen.
It's just as bad with female characters. In Oblivion, TC's character ends up in an astronaut love triangle. An astronaut love triangle! That should be sexy, shouldn't it? But, no, there's something strangely virginal about Cruise. At age 50, he wears his formfitting jumpsuit well, but it appears to be permanently zipped up. Remember Jerry Maguire, way back in 1996, when Cruise memorably said to Renée Zellweger: "You complete me." For some time now, TC has been self-completing. Female co-stars can't dent his cool, self-sufficient superstardom.
Cruise's career has been a little wonky in recent years, with solid successes like the Mission: Impossible franchise dragged down by duds like Jack Reacher, Rock of Ages and Knight and Day. It doesn't help that the worst aspects of Cruise's trademark intensity -- the self-seriousness, the unblinking stare, the Bond-villain laugh -- have been increasingly showing up in real life, in miscalculated TV interviews and leaked Scientology videos. But audiences still appreciate his teeth-baring determination to do his own stunts and his relentless on-screen drive.
Even while many critics were speculating that Oblivion might be a dangerous title for a new Tom Cruise vehicle, possibly reflecting the state of his career, the movie was doing good box-office, grossing $37 million on its opening weekend. Cruise can still carry movies, but he seems to be heading for that tipping point where movies will exist to carry him and his superstar persona. The perfectionism that built his career could end up being self-defeating -- and more than a bit dull.
Somehow it seems fitting that in his next film, We Are Mortals, Cruise plays a futuristic soldier caught in a time loop that condemns him to relive the same battle again and again in a last-ditch attempt to save the world.
That's basically Cruise's career now.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
The cost of good roads
As a motorist, I share the plight of driving on our crumbling infrastructure (Manitoba's shameful roads, Letters, July 7). However, some context is needed when comparing it with other regions.
In the last few years I've driven to Chicago, Detroit and numerous times to our estranged sister city, Minneapolis. The interstate highways are a pleasure to drive on, but are kept that way through constant repair. This is easily achieved because 90 per cent of the cost of all interstate highways in the U.S. is borne by the federal government.
Even with this federal funding, Chicago has tolls for travelling on the interstates within the city, probably to pay for the crumbling city roads.
Having travelled 6,000 kilometres on the freeways in Europe, the autobahn and autostrada are even better roads than the U.S. interstates, but they are all toll roads and expensive. Fortunately, because Europe is built on stable rock and has milder temperatures, road repair is minimal.

A Candlelight Tour of the historic structures at the Pioneer Museum Complex will be offered from 5-7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 26.
Visitors on the tour will be treated to German Christmas caroling by the Arion Maennerchor.
Refreshments of cookies, stollen, punch, coffee and wine will be served during the evening.
Admission is $10 for adults and $3 for children.
"Bring your family to experience the traditional culture and the German traditions of visiting with family and friends during the 12 days of Christmas," said Evelyn Weinheimer, archives/programs/tours, Pioneer Museum/Gillespie County Historical Society. "It was a tradition to visit homes of family and friends to take part in Krist Baum (Christmas gathering)."

Local residents who believe they were overcharged for water and sewer usage over a nine-month period by the City of Fredericksburg will likely not receive credit on their account.
The Fredericksburg City Council opted not to take action on a request to credit eight manufactured home park accounts a total of $2,828 during their regular meeting Monday.
After a 2013 rate study, rates for the parks were increased from residential to a rate mirroring commercial rates. In July, the accounts were changed back to the residential rate structure.
Residents sought to be compensated for the additional charges they paid above residential rates between October 2013 when the rates were changed and June 2014 prior to the rates returning to the residential structure.

Gillespie and Kerr counties could face the financial impact of a decision made by the Kendall County Commissioners' Court last week.
Commissioners in Kendall County voted to approve an initiative that would create a new district court for Kendall County, which would leave Gillespie and Kerr counties as the only two members of the 216th District Court. This was done in response to a growing population in Kendall County.
The transition proposed by the Kendall County commissioners will need to be approved by the Texas Legislature next month before it could go into effect on Jan. 1, 2017.
Currently, costs associated with the 216th District Court and District Attorney's Office are split between Gillespie, Kendall and Kerr counties, based on population.
While the financial impact on Gillespie County is unknown, the county will likely feel the impact of the change if it is approved.

WANTED: spirea??
crazyoneMay 2, 2012
has anyone grown spirea from seeds or is plants best way to start?
I had a little princess spirea in my front garden for years and every year it reseeded. I had little babies popping up every year. I dug them and gave away a ton and also moved some to other places in the yard.
My neighbour's bridal wreath spirea hangs over my fence and it has apparently dropped seeds as I have had two bridal wreaths pop up in my yard.

Trudy Rubin's Worldview column runs on Thursdays and Sundays. Over the past decade she has made multiple trips to Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Egypt, Turkey, Israel and the West Bank and also written from Syria, Tunisia, Lebanon, Iran, Russia, Ukraine, South Korea and China. She is the author of Willful Blindness: the Bush Administration and Iraq, a book of her columns from 2002-2004. In 2001 she was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in commentary and in 2008 she was awarded the Edward Weintal prize for international reporting. In 2010 she won the Arthur Ross award for international commentary from the Academy of American Diplomacy.
Americans are a generous people. During the holiday season, we are busy buying gifts and donating to the needy. We were quick to write a check or text funds when a typhoon struck the Philippines.
One big fear is that they - and the gains over the last decade - will be lost.
At a recent Georgetown University symposium, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Laura Bush, and John Kerry all urged Americans not to abandon Afghan women after U.S. troops exit next year.
2 stories of Syrian rebels
- Two Syrian rebel commanders whom I interviewed a year ago have been in the news this month, and their stories are important.
Bluster from Congress on Iran, but to what end?
- Trudy Rubin: When the Obama administration set up the toughest sanctions regime ever imposed on Iran, its goal was to force Tehran to the bargaining table.
Stories behind the news
- Readers often ask me to suggest books that can help them understand the swirl of events in the Mideast and South Asia.
Seeking a 'good enough' Iran deal
- As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sees it, almost any deal between Iran and the West to limit Tehran's nuclear program would be a bad deal.
Watching slaughter in Syria
- Only weeks ago, the administration was touting an international agreement to rid Syria of its chemical weapons as a diplomatic triumph. U.S. officials were predicting the deal would ease the way for broader peace talks in Geneva that would produce a transitional government without Bashar al-Assad and an end to the Syrian war. They couldn't have been more wrong.
U.S. is still tethered to Iraq
- The last time Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki visited the White House - in late 2011 - he and President Obama touted Iraq's political and security progress.
Why Merkel is outraged
- Why on earth was the United States bugging German Chancellor Angela Merkel's personal cellphone? Why would the Obama team risk upsetting one of the president's closest allies? For what - some tattle on trade talks? Surely not for inside dope on combatting terror, given that Germany is one of our closest partners in that fight.
Without help, talk is cheap in Syria
- Late last year, I visited the headquarters of a militant Islamist rebel militia called Suqour al-Sham in northern Syria. Dozens of bearded young men were milling about an open courtyard, checking their guns, washing up, or eating. But, to my surprise, I also noticed a gaggle of clean-shaven youths who were secular in appearance. When I asked one of them why he had joined with Islamist militants to battle the regime, he replied:
Fooled again on Pakistan?
- When Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif came to Washington this week, I couldn't help thinking of the adage: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."
Struggle for democracy
- Should America still be trying to promote democracy abroad - especially when its own is so dysfunctional? This question has been nagging at me since the Obama administration announced a partial freeze on military aid to Egypt last week. The aim: to (belatedly) display U.S. displeasure over the Egyptian military's bloody ouster of an elected president in July. (The aid will be restored if Egypt makes progress toward an "inclusive" elected government.)

Publishers Weekly
First in what readers will hope will be a robust series, this hybrid of fiction and graphic novel dusts off a favorite conceit with a slick swipe of edgy visuals and tart commentary. Julian Rodriguez sits at his computer, tapping furiously: "Mothership, you sent me here to study the ways of these mini-brained Earthlings and I accepted your 'undercover mission' against my better judgment." As he tells it, he has stoically endured eight years of condescension, insults and mistreatment as a child in an Earthling home. Cartoons labeled Exhibits A-D make the case: in each a Parental Unit delivers remarks like, "Rise and shine, Mr. Spaceman!" or "Why would you spray paint the bathtub?" A pared-down color scheme (just black and variations of green) emphasizes Stadler's (the Beverly Billingsly illustrator) wiry, kinetic draftsmanship; these tough-guy drawings, whether stand-alones or in panels, toss out little jokes (Julian's school is named Aretha Franklin Elementary) and riff on the text. The plot, not that it matters much, revolves around a showdown between the Maternal Unit and a ravenous Julian: take out the trash or suffer "imprisonment" ("You are going to your room right now!"). It's impossible to read this without laughing. Ages 7-10. (June)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

1 green thing: Tips to help you avoid winter colds
By Jan Herbert
Rockford Park District
Whether you were "green" before the color was fashionable or whether you're just ready to find the "shade" that works best for you, here's information about doing just "one green thing."
If you want to avoid winter colds, here are some easy methods. Get plenty of vitamin C with a daily dose of orange juice, grapefruit juice, or even red peppers (just discover your favorite foods that are rich in Vitamin C by looking online). Or, take a C-supplement, elderberry extract and/or double doses of Echinacea.
Add fresh garlic to your meal preparation. In addition to being good for your health, nobody can be cranky after a meal laden with garlic.
Getting a cold is not the only problem of winter. You can avoid headaches by eating salads…phytonutrients (chemical compounds like beta-carotene that occur naturally in plants) can reduce inflammation in the blood vessels of your brain. Eat 2 cups a day for best results. If you add celery, it is said to have sedative powers.
If you are prone to a general feeling of "being down" during the winter, be sure to find time to exercise, laugh and get enough sleep. Sometimes what you need is an energy boost, so grab some dried fruit or unsalted nuts (like almonds or walnuts). If you eat 1 ounce of walnuts daily, the natural omega-3 oils will provide energy AND improve the elasticity and natural moisture in your skin.
Your shopping list for winter health could be citrus (orange or grapefruit juice), fresh vegetables, and salad makings, including carrots and celery, garlic bulbs, dried fruit such as apricots or raisins, and unsalted almonds. Change out the juice for slices of grapefruit or oranges, and you could make a great salad! Make a good-for-you dressing with oil, vinegar and some fresh garlic juice.
For more information, e-mail Jan Herbert at email@example.com.

Prior to Nikki Flynn bursting onto the UK pro modelling scene she was already established spanking actress in USA. However I didn't know this until after her visit to me along with her partner Mr X. The story is that i was already offering disciplinarian sessions to UK ladies who wanted a discreet good old fashioned spanking over my knee at an old disused studio in Keighley. I had perchance offered a good old fashioned spanking on eBay for 50p Buy It now. Surprisingly somebody bid and won it; I was contacted by Mr X to see if it was a genuine offer I said yes and he discussed the spanking his partner had been waiting for, it was agreed a time and venue booked they arrived on time. I scolded Nikki and sent her upstairs to wait for me. The requirements for the spanking was a yearning to be spanked hard to tears then given a thrashing with a cane from and emotionless cold Dom, it was then explained she was already a spanking start in the States and could easily handle what I could deliver. I then advised Mr X the spanking would be on my terms and delivered how I saw fit; agreed we went upstairs. I took off my long black over coat sat myself in the center of the room summoned the girl over and demanded she look into my eyes as i questioned her coldly. She could not look me in the eye and averted her gaze, she was scolded then propelled across my lap; without a warm up spanking she was given long hard cold spanking until she was wailing her eyes out. I stood her up she had had enough; however Mr X requested her caning. I took his cane will did not handle well in my hands; i was also not a confident caner (until years later my caning mentor Lady Pandora gave me some tips) I therefore refused to cane her; surprisingly Mr X took the cane bent her over and thrashed her with remarkable accuracy but savagely ; I stated out she has had enough he stopped and she hugged him and he thanked me as Nikki was not able to cry and get release through spanking; I said nothing put on my coat and left.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to electrostatic coating apparatus and methods, and more particularly to a disk for an electrostatic coating powder distributor.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The most pertinent prior art patent of which we are aware is represented by a U.S. Pat. No. 3,843,054 issued Oct. 22, 1974 and which discloses an electrostatic powder spraying apparatus. In that apparatus, there is a non-rotating disk at the outlet of a powder conveying conduit. An electrostatic field is established between the edge of the disk and the articles to be coated. As powder is delivered radially outward from the disk, the particles of powder are electrically charged at the disk and move through the electrostatic field toward the articles to be coated, which are usually at ground potential and, being differently charged from the particles, thereby attract the particles.
A difficulty encountered heretofore with such apparatus is irregularity of coating of the articles. We have endeavored to determine the cause of such irregularities and have determined that an accumulation of particles on the upper surface of the disk occurs during operation. Occasionally, clumps or globs of such particles become dislodged from the disk and move through the field to the articles to be coated, resulting in irregular coating where such clumps become deposited. The present invention is addressed to solving this problem.
Described briefly, according to a typical embodiment of the present invention, which involves both apparatus and a method of using the apparatus an electrostatically charged outlet member of a coating material dispenser is provided with insulating shield means to prevent accumulation of charged coating material on the outlet member, and thus avoid the opportunity for clumps of charged material to accumulate and become dislodged and transmitted to the articles to be coated.
FIG. 1 is an elevational view of a powder coating distributor apparatus incorporating a typical embodiment of the present invention therein.
FIG. 2 is a longitudinal section therethrough taken at line 2--2 in FIG. 1 and viewed in the direction of the arrows.
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary sectional view like FIG. 2, but showing a different embodiment of the distributor disk and shield assembly.
For the purposes of promoting an understanding of the principles of the invention, reference will now be made to the embodiment illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended, such alterations and further modifications in the illustrated device, and such further applications of the principles of the invention as illustrated therein being contemplated as would normally occur to one skilled in the art to which the invention relates.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, much of the structure is very similar to that shown in the above mentioned patent, and includes a support head 11 for connection to a reciprocator such as disclosed in the above mentioned patent. A fluidized powder conduit 12 is located on the central axis, a compressed air input fitting 13 is at one side and the electrical cable input fitting 14 is at the other side. A support tube 16 extends down from the head to the lower hub 17 to which housing 18 is mounted.
An electric feed cable lead (not shown) is normally received in the passageway 19 and, through a contact spring (shown loose in the passageway) engages the upper end of a resistor 21 whose lower end may engage a conductive deposit or a further conductor (not shown) received in the diffuser ring 22 and extending through the passageway 23 to electrode 24, the lower end of which is in contact with an electrically conductive coating 26 on top of the distributor disk 27.
Primary baffle 28 is mounted directly under the lower end of the feed tube 29 which extends downward from the feed passageway 12 in the support head 11. A secondary baffle 31 is supported under the distributor disk 27 and spaced therefrom by spacer sleeves such as 32. The diffuser ring 22 is secured to the back plate housing 18 by a combination of circularly spaced flat headed screws 33 and studs 34. There may be three screws and three studs, for example. A hexagonal tool receiving surface 36 is provided on a shoulder portion of the studs and this shoulder portion serves as a spacer between the lower face of the diffuser ring 22 and the upper face of the primary baffle 28. The spacer sleeves 32, of which there may be three, encircling each of the studs at the lower threaded end portion thereof, provides spacing between the secondary baffle and primary baffle, the secondary baffle being secured in place by the cover nuts 37, threadedly received on the lower ends of the studs.
Compressed air supplied from a source (not shown) through fitting 13 and passageway 38 is communicable from the space 39 below the hub 17 through passageways (not shown) in the diffuser ring 22 to a plenum chamber 42 from which it can enter through orifices 43 opening into a chamber 44 which receives the fluidized powder from above through the feed tube 29. In this chamber, a swirling effect can be achieved as the fluidized powder is introduced downwardly along the axis 46 of the assembly and the compressed air jets 43, oriented somewhat tangentially to the cylindrical wall 41 of chamber 44, supply air from the perimeter of the chamber 44. The fluidized powder is directed outward by the primary baffle 28 and exits the circular slot 47 between the lower baffle and the distributor disk 27. As this occurs, air may be introduced through the lower central aperture 48 by aspiration from atmosphere as the powder-air mixture departs radially through the slot 47. O-ring seals are employed at a variety of locations in the apparatus for sealing, where desired. Virtually all of these features are incorporated in current production apparatus by Ransburg Electro-Coating Corporation of Indianapolis, Indiana. However, this current production apparatus has the distributor disk as shown in FIG. 3 wherein the circular outer marginal edge 51 of the distributor disk is formed by an upwardly sloping marginal portion 52 on the top of the disk, with an inner portion 53 extending therefrom radially inward to the inner marginal edge 54 of the disk. The electrically conductive material 56 extends from the outer edge 51 inward at least as far as the lower end of the electrode 24. In contrast, according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the tapered portion of the distributor disk faces downward, and the conductive material is on the top flat face, but it does extend to the outer marginal edge 49 thereof.
According to another feature of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, an insulator shield ring 57 is mounted atop the conductive face and extends to a circular outer marginal edge 58 spaced just slightly (about 0.062 inches) inboard from the outer edge 49 of the distributor disk 27. Thus it is spaced slightly inward from the remaining narrow ring of conductive material 26 atop the distributor disk 27. The insulator shield ring extends inwardly to an inner marginal edge 59 spaced slightly outward from the cylindrical outer wall 61 of the housing 18.
This insulator ring, like many of the other features of the structure, is made of a material having a high dielectric strength. Phenolics are suitable for this. An example is a G-10 phenolic about 0.125 inches thick. Accordingly, while the potential at the conductive surface 26 on the distributor disk may be 100,000 volts, the resistance of the ring material is so high that the effective potential at the top of the insulator ring may be near ground. In this way, as the powder coating material is dispensed from the distributor in the usual manner, much as described in the above mentioned patent, any material which collects on top of this insulator ring will not maintain a high potential and thus will not be transferred, particularly in globs or clumps, to the articles being coated. Any material which might collect in the small annular space between the insulator ring inner edge 59 and wall 61 will not likely become dislodged, in any event. Yet there is ample annular space between the insulator ring and the housing wall 61 to facilitate getting the ring on and off, when desired.
In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the same basic construction is employed, so far as the insulator ring 57 is concerned. Therefore it is given the same reference numeral. Its effect is the same, except that it overhangs the downwardly sloping upper marginal portion of the distributor disk. Nevertheless, it prevents the vertical descent of coating material on all except a very narrow annular marginal portion of the distributor disk, so small as to not present any accumulation problem.
In both of the illustrated embodiments, the insulator shield ring merely rests on top of the distributor disk. In the event of an application where gravity could not be relied upon to keep the ring properly located on the disk, screws or other fasteners can be employed to secure the shield ring to the distributor disk.
While the invention has been illustrated and described in detail in the drawings and foregoing description, the same is to be considered as illustrative and not restrictive in character, it being understood that only the preferred embodiment has been shown and described and that all changes and modifications that come within the spirit of the invention are desired to be protected.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.
Looking today at week-over-week shares outstanding changes among the universe of ETFs covered at ETF Channel, one standout is the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (AMEX:VIG) where we have detected an approximate $41.7 million dollar inflow -- that's a 0.4% increase week over week in outstanding units (from 196,726,842 to 197,428,036). Among the largest underlying components of VIG, in trading today Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (NYSE:WMT) is up about 0.3%, Procter & Gamble Co. (NYSE:PG) is off about 0.6%, and United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX) is higher by about 0.4%. For a complete list of holdings, visit the VIG Holdings page �
The chart below shows the one year price performance of VIG, versus its 200 day moving average:
Looking at the chart above, VIG's low point in its 52 week range is $46.54 per share, with $59.47 as the 52 week high point � that compares with a last trade of $59.16. Comparing the most recent share price to the 200 day moving average can also be a useful technical analysis technique -- learn more about the 200 day moving average �.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Wade Miley strikes out eight in Opening Day loss
For a guy who wasn't even expected to make the 15-hour trip to Australia, left-hander Wade Miley had himself a nice outing in the Arizona Diamdonbacks' 3-1 season-opening loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers at Sydney Cricket Ground.
Miley, who was called upon at the last minute to replace Patrick Corbin as the D-backs' Opening Day starter, gave up three earned runs on three hits Saturday but also struck out eight batters -- tying the single-game season high he recorded three different times in 2013.
After a perfect opening inning in which he struck out the first two Dodgers batters he faced, the Arizona southpaw got into some trouble with a lead-off walk of Adrian Gonzalez in the second. Left fielder Scott Van Slyke made Miley pay three pitches later, as he belted a 1-1 fastball to the left field wall.
Because the wind was blowing in, Van Slyke's long fly ball stayed in the yard -- a result that seemed to surprise D-backs left fielder Mark Trumbo, who attempted to make a play on it only to come up noticeably empty-handed.
Two batters later, Andre Either scored Gonzalez on an RBI groundout for the game's first run.
After another perfect frame by Miley in the third inning, Van Slyke got the best of the D-backs left-hander yet again. Following a wild pitch that allowed Gonzalez to reach first on a strikeout, the Dodgers 27-year-old outfielder sliced a 1-1 offering just inside the right field foul pole for a two-run shot.
Miley didn't allow another run the rest of the evening, as he managed to get out of a bases-loaded jam in the fifth with a timely inning-ending strikeout.
In all, Miley threw 54 of his 83 pitches for strikes but took the loss for Arizona -- just his second against Los Angeles in eight career starts.

Published November 23, 1994
The GA state government will "target elite business travelers" with a $1.3M ad campaign that uses the '96 Olympics as a lure for economic development and tourism. The ads will offer "yet another Olympics-related slogan": "Georgia, Our Spirit Burns Bright." The ads, which are being produced by J. Walter Thompson's Atlanta office for the Governor's Development Council, are scheduled for publication and broadcast early next year. TV versions are expected to run nationally and internationally on CNN. The ads' target -- "the influential business traveler" who makes decisions on where to locate business -- is likely to bring family members on any business trip and spends six times as much as other travelers (Matthew Quinn, ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, 11/23). ATLANTA REAL ESTATE MARKET BOOM: Atlanta's commercial real estate market "has surged." The city's business and real estate leaders say, prime office and industrial space is at a premium and could become even more "difficult to find" as the summer of '96 approaches. The vacancy rate for office space in metro Atlanta had fallen to 13% by the end of September. International interest in Atlanta "is behind much of the commercial real estate growth" (Jerry Schwartz reports, N.Y. TIMES NEWS SERVICE, 11/23).

- dog marks on hardwoods
To repair scratches, you need to sand and refinish. Depending on what floor finish you have, you can gently sand the immediate area and touch it up with finish thereafter, but make sure you use the type of finish that is already there. Polyuretahne and varnish and shellac do not mix. Neither do oil and water-based polyurethane.
Sometimes, you can also hammer them out by tapping the surrounding area with a hammer until the wood surrounding the scratch is "dented" to the level of the scratch. Better yet, place a piece of metal on the area and tap that with the hammer to distrubute the blow more evenly so as to not create a new problem: hammer dents next to the scratches. Doing so requires a good touch and a bit of luck.

I would love to know if I can just apply a few more coats and ease the worries of ruining a new floor.
I had installed a parquet floor at the base of some stairs in my other house. We had a collie, a rather larger than normal collie at that, and a couple cats with large hind claws. They scratched the factory finish to pieces. I wound up sanding the flooring smooth and thought about something, I remember in school that the furniture we had was desks and chairs with steel feet, and yet the floors would not get scratched, so I did some looking into what was used to refinished the floors in schools and found it to be moisture cured urathane, so I gave it a try. Guess what, it worked, the marks were greatly reduced and you could hardly see any at all after 3 years of abuse.
As for removing the marks, you can try using a modelers iron, that the type used to skin radio controlled airplanes, and some water. You wet the area a bit and press the iron against the scratch and steam the dent out. It doesn't always work, but most of the lighter scratches should come up. I have done that many times to repair soft and hardwood furniture, including maple.
[This message has been edited by ACD (edited December 26, 2002).]
Applying too many layers of polyurethyne will give you a soft jelly layer in between top and bottom layers that will damage more easily from puppy paws. Usually three coats is best, sometime four, never more. I can imagine some builders doing only two, but you would notice ineven ness other than the scratches, more than likely.

About Me
Specializing in Fetish/Art photography. If you have a project you would like to document that involves the type of style you see portrayed in my port, let me know. I am looking to create images that provoke.
The work that I am passionate about, (fetish/art) is fun, honest, erotic, but always tasteful and respectful. and will be within "your" specific limits or desires.
If I contacted you and you do not want to model this type of work, you likely have "Fetish" checked off as a work Genre. No problem, just say " no thanks"
I have done a lot of other types of photography over the years but now find that I desire to work with models and material that is on the edge, and not because I have to. It's more satisfying to work to create images that really inspire me.
I'm very professional, always on time, expect the same and deliver what I promise.
