Darcy - Brinkman Example
Application ID: 609
This example model characterizes a transition in flow regimes: slow flow in porous media quickens to a perforation in a well casing and ultimately moves into and up the well.
Darcy's law describes flow velocities at a distance from the well. Closer to the perforation the Brinkman equations apply. Movement of fluid in the well is described by the Navier Stokes equations.
This example starts with a model that couples Darcy's law with the Brinkman equations and the Navier Stokes equations (in the wellbore) to produce a fully coupled simulation for three different flow laws.

Comments: Comments:Got this jig at gander mtn, immediately after opening i could tell this jig's skirt was crap. The collar was so loose I barely pulled it, and it snapped, leaving the skirt on the ground. I put another on, took 3 casts in the swimming pool, reel it in, and no weed guard. Like the hook though. I think I just got a lemon. I guess this one slipped by quality control.
Comments: Great jig to throw when bigger jigs are too intimidating for sluggish fish. use a yum chunk trailor or another small chunk traillor and bounce this jig around on bottom for an AWESOME crawfish impersination! the largies love it!

Van Eck Mutual Funds
04/29/14: Commodities Editor Neil Hume analyzes the recent trend attracting investors back to commodities markets. "Since the beginning of the year the 90-day rolling correlation of the Dow Jones UBS commodity index and US equities has been consistently negative," he writes.View article »
06/01/12: Van Eck's Kristen Capuano's recent article in Financial Planning discusses the return-reducing banes of commodity investing: contango and roll yield. She explains, however, that next generation commodity indices [like CMCI] and mutual funds seek to minimize the negative effects of contango with a rolling reinvestment approach that is less susceptible to performance drag.

You can lose money by investing in the Fund. Any investment in the Fund should be part of an overall investment program, not a complete program. Commodities are assets that have tangible properties, such as oil, metals, and agriculture. Commodities and commodity-linked derivatives may be affected by overall market movements and other factors that affect the value of a particular industry or commodity, such as weather, disease, embargoes or political or regulatory developments. The value of a commodity-linked derivative is generally based on price movements of a commodity, a commodity futures contract, a commodity index or other economic variables based on the commodity markets. Derivatives use leverage, which may exaggerate a loss. The Fund is subject to the risks associated with its investments in commodity-linked derivatives, risks of investing in wholly owned subsidiary, risk of tracking error, risks of aggressive investment techniques, leverage risk, derivatives risks, counterparty risks, non-diversification risk, credit risk, concentration risk and market risk. The use of commodity-linked derivatives such as swaps, commodity-linked structured notes and futures entails substantial risks, including risk of loss of a significant portion of their principal value, lack of a secondary market, increased volatility, correlation risk, liquidity risk, interest-rate risk, market risk, credit risk, valuation risk and tax risk. Gains and losses from speculative positions in derivatives may be much greater than the derivative's cost. At any time, the risk of loss of any individual security held by the Fund could be significantly higher than 50% of the security's value. Investment in commodity markets may not be suitable for all investors. The Fund's investment in commodity-linked derivative instruments may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investment in traditional securities. For a description of these and other risk considerations, please refer to the Fund's prospectus, which should be read carefully before you invest. Again, the Fund offers investors exposure to the broad commodity markets, currently, by investing in commodity-linked swaps.
Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. An investor should consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the investment company carefully before investing. The prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information. Please read them carefully before investing.

Jimenez aims to keep Tribe rolling vs. White Sox
Chicago looks to end drought vs. Indians, trip up Cleveland in Wild hunt
It turns out a trip to Chicago to face the division-rival White Sox may be just what the Indians needed to get their postseason push back on track.
After dropping two of three to the Royals -- another American League Wild Card hopeful -- earlier in the week, the Indians have won the first two contests in their four-game set against the White Sox. With the two victories, Cleveland has now won 10 straight against the Sox, the longest such streak against Chicago in franchise history.
The Tribe will look to extend that run Saturday night and, in turn, further improve its postseason chances. Following their victory Friday, the Indians remained 1 1/2 games back of the Rays, who beat the Twins, 3-0, for the second Wild Card spot.
Cleveland on Saturday will turn to one of its hottest pitchers of late, Ubaldo Jimenez. Though Jimenez has struggled in his career against the White Sox (1-3 with a 6.10 ERA in seven starts), the right-hander has been on a roll.
Jimenez did not allow an earned run over his most recent two starts, including Monday's gem against the Royals in which he allowed just one unearned run over seven innings while striking out 10 and walking none. That outing also marked the third time in Jimenez's last four starts that he struck out 10 batters, a total he had not previously reached all season.
"The last four to five starts, he seemed like he had an extra gear," Indians manager Terry Francona said.
"Obviously he feels good," Francona added. "I think he's worked hard. You can tell when guys are limping to the finish-line. He's not."
Jimenez has emerged as the Tribe's most consistent starter in the second half during its up-and-down playoff push. After posting a 4.56 ERA over 19 first-half starts, Jimenez has put up a 1.94 mark in his nine outings since the All-Star break. He has lowered his season ERA nearly a full run in the process, dropping it from 4.56 to 3.62.
After Cleveland's 68-94 finish last year in Jimenez's first full season with the Tribe, the righty -- who made the playoffs as a member of the Rockies in 2007 and '09 -- said once again being part of a postseason race has provided some extra motivation down the stretch.
"That's everything a player wishes for," Jimenez said. "That's what you play for, to be in the postseason or at least be playing to get there. It's really fun. Every game means something. It's like you come to the stadium and you know that everything counts. You have to give it all."
Indians: Raburn staying hot despite limited role
Ryan Raburn has already made his mark on this series, going 3-for-3 with a homer and five RBIs in Thursday's series opener and following it up Friday by going 1-for-3 and driving in what proved to be the winning run on a fifth-inning RBI double.
Limited by right calf and left heel injuries over the past month, Raburn has played in just six games dating back to Aug. 13. He has managed to collect at least one hit during each of those contests, however, and is hitting .471 (8-for-17) with three home runs and 14 RBIs in that stretch.
"I'm just trying to keep [my hitting approach] as consistent as possible," Raburn said. "I try to keep the same routine, and I think the biggest emphasis when I get to the plate is that I'm not trying to get hits every time; I'm just trying to have a good at-bat and just let the results take care of themselves."
Overall, Raburn is hitting .286 with 16 homers and 52 RBIs in 75 games this season.
White Sox: Rienzo hoping to build off last outing
White Sox rookie Andre Rienzo will take the hill Saturday against the Indians, the same club against which he made his Major League debut July 30.
In his first big league start, Rienzo allowed three runs over seven innings, striking out six and walking three. Though he left the game with a 4-3 lead, he settled for a no-decision after the bullpen conceded four runs in the eighth inning en route to a 7-4 loss.
The 25-year-old righty has had mixed success in his seven starts since but is coming off arguably the best start of his young career. Rienzo on Sunday limited the Orioles to just one run off four hits over 6 2/3 innings for his second big league victory. It was a step in the right direction for Rienzo, who had allowed five earned runs in each of his previous two outings.
For the season, Rienzo is 2-1 with a 4.50 ERA in eight starts.
Worth noting
• Jimenez's 1.94 ERA since the All-Star break is second only to Houston's Brett Oberholtzer (1.91) among AL pitchers with more than five second-half starts.
• The Indians have outscored the White Sox, 91-49, over the teams' 15 meetings this season.
• Cleveland is 13-2 against the White Sox this season. The 13 wins are the most for the Indians against the Sox in any season since 1968, when the Tribe went 13-5 in the head-to-head series.

From what I have read, the official line from AMD/ATI is that they make most of their money supporting linux only on workstations and, as a result, aren't that interested in the consumer linux side of things.
The workstations typically have much slower adoption rates for new features and versions. As far as stability is concerned my only guess is that older kernels and versions of X.org are more stable.
One would think a simple calculus of whether the {Number of Users} by the {Average Revenue per User Over Time} is greater than the {Cost of Developing the Driver the Community Wants} would suffice, but they must be doing {Profit} less {Cost} is greater than {Some Number with a Lot of Zeros}.
In time the open driver will mature, and one hopes that AMD will continue to support those efforts as long as they continue to operate. This is their alternative to the "driver the community wants" I mentioned above. It is a risk, but if it is successful it will be more valuable to them and to us.
The truth is, until the rest of consumer hardware catches up with the processor in terms of documentation it will continue be a mess, on all platforms and for all users.
It will happen eventually. For now you have your own math to do, which varies by your particular hardware/situation. For some it's whether to use the proprietary or free driver depending on the features and performance they offer right now. For others that math is whether the headaches of waiting for a workable driver for your AMD video is worth more than the cost of a comparable card by another vendor.

- Functional characterization of various algal carotenoid ketolases reveals that ketolating zeaxanthin efficiently is essential for high production of astaxanthin in transgenic Arabidopsis (2011)
- Extending the carotenoid pathway to astaxanthin in plants is of scientific and industrial interest. However, expression of a microbial beta-carotene ketolase (BKT) that catalyses the formation of ketocarotenoids in transgenic plants typically results in low levels of astaxanthin. The low efficiency of BKTs in ketolating zeaxanthin to astaxanthin is proposed to be the major limitation for astaxanthin accumulation in engineered plants. To verify this hypothesis, several algal BKTs were functionally characterized using an Escherichia coli system and three BKTs were identified, with high (up to 85%), moderate (~38%), and low (~1%) conversion rate from zeaxanthin to astaxanthin from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (CrBKT), Chlorella zofingiensis (CzBKT), and Haematococcus pluvialis (HpBKT3), respectively. Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana expressing the CrBKT developed orange leaves which accumulated astaxanthin up to 2 mg g -1 dry weight with a 1.8-fold increase in total carotenoids. In contrast, the expression of CzBKT resulted in much lower astaxanthin content (0.24 mg g -1 dry weight), whereas HpBKT3 was unable to mediate synthesis of astaxanthin in A. thaliana. The none-native astaxanthin was found mostly in a free form integrated into the light-harvesting complexes of photosystem II in young leaves but in esterified forms in senescent leaves. The alteration of carotenoids did not affect chlorophyll content, plant growth, or development significantly. The astaxanthin-producing plants were more tolerant to high light as shown by reduced lipid peroxidation. This study advances a decisive step towards the utilization of plants for the production of high-value astaxanthin.

- Biosynthesis of fucoxanthin and diadinoxanthin and function of initial pathway genes in Phaeodactylum tricornutum (2012)
- The biosynthesis pathway to diadinoxanthin and fucoxanthin was elucidated in Phaeodactylum tricornutum by a combined approach involving metabolite analysis identification of gene function. For the initial steps leading to β-carotene, putative genes were selected from the genomic database and the function of several of them identified by genetic pathway complementation in Escherichia coli. They included genes encoding a phytoene synthase, a phytoene desaturase, a ζ-carotene desaturase, and a lycopene β-cyclase. Intermediates of the pathway beyond β-carotene, present in trace amounts, were separated by TLC and identified as violaxanthin and neoxanthin in the enriched fraction. Neoxanthin is a branching point for the synthesis of both diadinoxanthin and fucoxanthin and the mechanisms for their formation were proposed. A single isomerization of one of the allenic double bounds in neoxanthin yields diadinoxanhin. Two reactions, hydroxylation at C8 in combination with a keto-enol tautomerization and acetylation of the 3′-HO group results in the formation of fucoxanthin.
- Biocatalytic synthesis of flavones and hydroxyl-small molecules by recombinant Escherichia coli cells expressing the cyanobacterial CYP110E1 gene (2012)
- Background: Cyanobacteria possess several cytochrome P450s, but very little is known about their catalytic functions. CYP110 genes unique to cyanaobacteria are widely distributed in heterocyst-forming cyanobacteria including nitrogen-fixing genera Nostoc and Anabaena. We screened the biocatalytic functions of all P450s from three cyanobacterial strains of genus Nostoc or Anabaena using a series of small molecules that contain flavonoids, sesquiterpenes, low-molecular-weight drugs, and other aromatic compounds. Results: Escherichia coli cells carrying each P450 gene that was inserted into the pRED vector, containing the RhFRed reductase domain sequence from Rhodococcus sp. NCIMB 9784 P450RhF (CYP116B2), were co-cultured with substrates and products were identified when bioconversion reactions proceeded. Consequently, CYP110E1 of Nostoc sp. strain PCC 7120, located in close proximity to the first branch point in the phylogenetic tree of the CYP110 family, was found to be promiscuous for the substrate range mediating the biotransformation of various small molecules. Naringenin and (hydroxyl) flavanones were respectively converted to apigenin and (hydroxyl) flavones, by functioning as a flavone synthase. Such an activity is reported for the first time in prokaryotic P450s. Additionally, CYP110E1 biotransformed the notable sesquiterpene zerumbone, anti-inflammatory drugs ibuprofen and flurbiprofen (methylester forms), and some aryl compounds such as 1-methoxy and 1-ethoxy naphthalene to produce hydroxylated compounds that are difficult to synthesize chemically, including novel compounds. Conclusion: We elucidated that the CYP110E1 gene, C-terminally fused to the P450RhF RhFRed reductase domain sequence, is functionally expressed in E. coli to synthesize a robust monooxygenase, which shows promiscuous substrate specificity (affinity) for various small molecules, allowing the biosynthesis of not only flavones (from flavanones) but also a variety of hydroxyl-small molecules that may span pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries.

text: How exactly are the results disappointing? There's a reason it is called 4290, of course the 3D performance is not higher. The chip is great for what it was made for. I agree however, that nVidia can be the better option if you want to use it for a HTPC and you want to use proprietary drivers, as Xv and XvBA are still issues with the Catalyst driver.

Severne makes good sails, but need a little bit more exp�rience in race to challenge R.Stroj/B.Spanier/D.Kaseler/K.Hopf/M.Spindler and P.Munzingler for Point 7 I hope he could join them next year. |

Paulo dos Reis (BR3333) secures an unexpected 5th place in Brazil's FW. Congratulations Paulo! With his 5th place in the Formula World Championships which have just ended last weekend in Brazil, team rider Paulo dos Reis has joined the elite in formula racing. His performance was somewhat unexpected yet consistent, and even better results can be expected as he is known to perform best in strong winds. Medium and lighter winds during the event however were enough to make him advance past some of the big names in formula racing. An interview with the new star in formula racing will be online shortly. Brian Rogild (DEN 173) took a solid 3rd place in the Masters class. To test the all around ability of the fleet, five different courses were set every day. The average length of races for the winner was 15 minutes. There is talk about a future Grand Prix tour in the near future. With strong fleets in many South American countries supporting formula racing it. |

Elkskin and Deerskin Gloves
Washable Leather?
"All of the elkskin glove models are cut and sewn on the exact same patterns so they fit similarly from model to model, but there are slight variations from glove to glove because each glove is hand made and each section of elkhide is a little different. A great way to quickly custom-fit a new pair is to fully wet-saturate on a warm day when you know you'll be riding continuously for several hours, then let them dry and conform to the shape of your hands during that ride.
Elkskin and deerskin can be safely washed using warm water and mild soap. This removes accumulated dirt, oils and stains and will help gloves last longer and feel nicer. After rinsing to remove residual soap, gloves should be gently wrung damp and allowed to dry gradually at room temperature. Do not apply direct heat when drying. They shrink slightly but will stretch to fit during wear."

Four Color Fear: Forgotten Horror Comics of the 1950s - Previews, Pre-Order | |
Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under video, previews, new releases, John Benson, Four Color Fear | 27 Aug 2010 8:24 AM |
Four Color Fear: Forgotten Horror Comics of the 1950s
by various artists; edited by John Benson and Greg Sadowski
320-page full-color 7.5" x 10.5" softcover • $29.99
Ships in: September 2010 (subject to change) — Pre-Order Now
Of the myriad genres comic books ventured into during its golden age, none was as controversial as or came at a greater cost than horror; the public outrage it incited almost destroyed the entire industry. Yet before the watchdog groups and Congress could intercede, horror books were flying off the newsstands. During its peak period (1951-54) over fifty titles appeared each month. Apparently there was something perversely irresistible about these graphic excursions into our dark side, and Four Color Fear collects the finest of these into a single robust and affordable volume.
EC is the comic book company most fans associate with horror; its complete line has been reprinted numerous times, and deservedly so. But to the average reader there remain unseen quite a batch of genuinely disturbing, compulsive, imaginative, at times even touching, horror stories presented from a variety of visions and perspectives, many of which at their best can stand toe to toe with EC.
All of the better horror companies are represented: Ace, Ajax-Farrell, American Comics Group, Avon, Comic Media, Fawcett, Fiction House, Gilmor, Harvey, Quality, Standard, St. John, Story, Superior, Trojan, Youthful and Ziff-Davis. Artist perennials Jack Cole, Reed Crandall, George Evans, Frank Frazetta, Jack Katz, Al Williamson, Basil Wolverton, and Wallace Wood contribute both stories and covers, with many of the 32 full-sized covers created by specialists Bernard Baily, L.B. Cole, William Eckgren, and Matt Fox. (See below for a link to the full Table of Contents.)
Editors John Benson and Greg Sadowski have sifted through hundreds of rare books to cherry-pick the most compelling scripts and art, and they provide extensive background notes on the artists, writers, and companies involved in their creation. Digital restoration has been performed with subtlety and restraint, mainly to correct registration and printing errors, with every effort made to retain the flavor of the original comics, and to provide the reader the experience of finding in the attic a bound volume of the finest non-EC horror covers and stories of the pre-code era.
Download an EXCLUSIVE 26-page PDF excerpt (19.4 MB) featuring four complete stories: "The Corpse that Came to Dinner" by Reed Crandall & Mike Peppe; "The Maze Master" by Lou Cameron; "Swamp Monster" by Basil Wolverton; and "Discovery" by Manny Stallman & John Guinta.

Driver runs stop sign, hits another car and building in Manchester
Ann Mwaliasha, 36, of Manchester, was heading east on Salmon Street about 4:45 p.m. Thursday when she allegedly ran a stop sign and hit a car driven by Samy Daghir, 60, of Manchester, who was heading south on Chestnut Street, police said.
After the impact, Mwaliasha's car went off the road and hit a building at the southeast corner of the intersection, causing "moderate" damage, police said.
Nobody was injured in the crash or when the car hit the building, police said.
Mwaliasha was cited for failure to yield at a stop sign, police said.

The rare occurence, was a child being stronger than an adult. Not necessarily him doing 1 handed jutsus. He said to Naruto that its possible, and rare, that a child is capable of such a feat. And his words were justified when he saw a kid do a 1 handed jutsu. That means its his pure talent,training, guidance and so on that he was impressed with.
His bloodline affects his jutsus, but how he performs them is dependent on his training, and mind capacity. And with that you need a method of training. Zabuza displayed the ability of performing jutsu with one hand, fitting with the manga's theme of previous generation passing down the torch, Zabuza logically taught him that as well. The only thing missing from this is the method of which, someone is able to learn how to use it.
Kakashi would still be impressed if he did his jutsu's regularly, he surpassed Sasukes speed, and countered him with an ice jutsu. that combined with him doing it with one hand formed an impression in Kakashi's mind.
I am an artist, and my medium is death. I'm about to create my masterpiece :s
Fan of the Rasengan Doujutsu theory, even though it's dead. Although, he does have the special Uzumaki clan blood.
Idk man. I think its more complicated than that. Making the shape must take some sort of seal to "command" the chakra what to do. Not sure but all I know is that I saw a hand seal, and I saw a jutsu occur from that.
*sigh* Both sides of this argument needs more evidence that hasnt been explored yet so I see its pointless to continue with this.
My main issue is that the one seal Zabuza used to execute his technique is common among a lot of ninjas. Gaara used that same seal during the chuunin exam before his fight with Lee. Lee used that same seal before he executes his Primary Lotus. Its the same seal Sarutobi used to set off his paper bombs when he planted them on the 1st and 2nd. Its also the same seal Deidara uses to set off his bombs. There's probably more to add too.
This is the reason why I doubt Zabuza is really capable of 1-handed handseals. He didn't do anything that warranted any shock. That one seal is generic in the Ninja world. Then we come to Haku who rattles of a set of 1-handed seals to which Kakashi replies he's never seen before. If Zabuza is doing 1-handed seals based off that one seal, then there's a number of ppl capable of doing the same.
seriously afro your a thread killer.
alls it takes is one perfectly reasoned and logical reply from you and there's nothing more to discuss, everything ends up making sense.
anyways. you still doing your spoilers are for the weak thing?
My DoTA hero... Vote for it please!
didn't, itatchi, my he rest in peace did some kind of 1 handed suiton bunshin when they are first introduced? (1 hand with shurikens and the other doing the seal?)...
No more ramen for naruto.. That's bad news..
Sorry lol. I like everything to make as much sense as possible or at least try to come to a logical understanding that everyone can agree on. If I can't make sense of happenings in the manga, it must be "Plot hole no Jutsu" lol j/k.
Nope, I stopped doing it after a Mod expressed his dislike of seeing it all the time. So it was in my best interest to stop. I might pop in every once in awhile to say how all the spoiler are fake, including the confirmed ones lol.
Nah that wasn't it. Itachi's handseals are so fast that its extremely hard to notice (even with the Sharingan it seems). He had already done the seals for the attack, then brought out the shurikens all before the water attack actually began.
That what i was thinking bu t i didn't want to put anyone else did that same seal because i wasn't not to sure, but it was on my mind , that is why i mentioned Deidara doing it because he was the only other person i was most sure who did it. I assume that that seal is just a simple way to concentrate chakra into something to perform a jutsu.. Like the 3rd using it to explode the bomb, Deidara using it to explode his C2 and may other instances where people use it to do simple task or uncomplicated jutsus.

As a field representative I have a large territory where I manage around 200 small businesses over 9 counties. The CRM system in place just doesn't measure up to my needs in the field. So about 4 years ago I decided that since I was already utilizing Remember the Milk for my personal task management, why not carry that over and harness the power of the cloud for my day-to-day business activities as well!As part of my role, I am required to do a type of audit either once or twice a year at the accounts I oversee. Keeping that schedule straight for 200 accounts is a breeze with RTM. I started by creating a List of my accounts with Due dates for the audit.Each business was a separate Task I made Due to renew After 6 months or 1 year, depending on the account.A few of my accounts do not get audits at all, so I Tagged these with declined and made their Due date Never, that way my List is still complete with all my accounts. I use this List daily in conjunction with my Google Calendar where I manage my audit appointments 2 weeks in advance of the day I am scheduled to be in the area where the account is located. I'll try to not get too detailed here on the Google Calendar part, but essentially the way the Tasks were set up, they first come Due exactly 2 weeks before the day I am scheduled to be at the account. This indicates to me that it's time to schedule the appointment. I then change the Due date of the Task to 1 week prior. This is my reminder to make sure the appointment is confirmed. If it's confirmed I change the Due date again to the date of my appointment. If it's not confirmed I change the Due date once more to the day before the appointment.Instead of having to take an entire day to sit down and plan 2 weeks worth of appointments, my schedule just takes a few minutes a day. Sometimes, my days in an area change, so if the initial 2-weeks-in-advance Due date doesn't match my Calendar, I simply change the Due date to match it up.Another aspect of my job involves marketing other businesses to my accounts. My company works with about 40 business partners, so tracking which business to promote where can be a challenge. By using target lists provided by my company I am able to easily keep track of what I am promoting in each account. Each Task is the account name, and then I Tag it with the business I need to promote. When I arrive at the account I pull up the RTM mobile app, do a quick search for the account name, and have an instant reminder of what I should be promoting there. I can track my progress with certain businesses by doing a Tag search. I also have a dedicated List for general Tasks relating to my job that helps me better prioritize and manage my territory – nothing falls through the cracks!I find RTM is also very useful as a quick notepad. Many times when I am consulting with accounts, they are making requests and therefore generating Tasks for me to follow up on later. Again using my mobile app, I can quickly type in a Task that I have set by default to go to my Inbox and be Due Today. I then follow up on these "quick Tasks" that day or move them into one of my Lists to be Due later.There are so many features of RTM that I love! I find the search functionality and the ability to view completed tasks particularly valuable to managing my professional tasks. I like knowing that I have the option to get really advanced with CRM in RTM as well, but appreciate the ease it provides for creating a simple CRM system that meets my needs.Thanks Bob! ;-)

Hi sunjana1,Thanks for sharing your post! :) You're this week's Tips & Tricks Tuesday winner, so we've added a free year of Remember The Milk Pro to your account.

Hey Sunjana1,thanks for sharing your technique :)I'd be particularly interested how you set up Google Calendar part with the tasks beeing due earlier than in RTM. What I am missing so far in RTM are different reminder settings for particular tasks and this might be a good workaround in my case.
schnizzzla-My clients were integrated into my Google contacts and Google calendar via a repeating "call cycle". I used the Google calendar invitation system to create the "appointment" and invite my client. I did that at the initial "due date" in RTM for 2 weeks out in my Google calendar.For example - RTM tells me an audit is due for client ABC May 12, 2013. I search for client ABC in my calendar and my actual planned day to the area where client ABC is May 28, 2013. I changed the due date in RTM to the 14th - to match exactly 2 weeks ahead of time.Then on the 14th, I would create the visit (event) and invite the contact. I would change the due date then to the 21st - 1 week prior. If I heard from them in the meantime, confirming the 28th, I would go ahead and change the due date to the 27th or 28th (depending if I wanted to give them a reminder call the day before).If didn't hear from them by the 21st, they would pop up again as due, and I would send a reminder email, and change the due date to the 27th.Hope that helps!

EnviroTech :: Environment Industry association: Biobased plastics land use does not pose threat to food crops7:59 AM MDT | April 10, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez Biobased plastics production requires only 0.006% of the 5-billion hectare global agricultural area, according to data recently published by industry body European Bioplastics (Berlin). This is the surface required to grow sufficient feedstock for today's biobased plastics production, and it illustrates that land area dedicated to crop cultivation for biobased plastics does not compete with land used to grow food crops, European Bioplastics says. European Bioplastics' market data estimates production capacities of about 1.2 million m.t./year in 2011. This... This information is only available to Chemical Week subscribers.

Joke of the day
Every man needs a go-to joke.
Catholic School Picnic At a picnic for a Catholic school, the Mother Superior stacked a pile of apples on one end of a table, with a sign saying, "Take only one Apple please. God is watching." There was a pile of cookies on the other end of the table, on which a second grade student had placed a sign saying, "Take all the cookies you want. God is watching the apples."
Drunken Old Guy A drunken old guy stumbles into the front door of a bar, walks up to the bartender and says, "Give me a shot of tequila, damn." The bartender looks at him and tells him that he has had enough. So the old guy curses the bartender out and walks out the front door. A few minutes later, the same guy comes in through the side door and stumbles up to the bar and demands a shot of tequila. The bartender looks at him in disbelief and refuses to serve him again. The old guy curses him out again and storms out. A few minutes later, the same old guy stumbles in through the back door and before he could say a word, the bartender says, "Listen, I told you already twice that I'm not going to serve you, so get out of my bar, you drunken bastard." The old guy looks at the bartender and says, "Damn, how many bars do you work at?"
Most Famous Person One day, a kindergarten teacher said to the class of 5-year-olds, "I'll give $2 to the child who can tell me who the most famous man who ever lived was." An Irish boy put his hand up and said, "It was St. Patrick." The teacher said, "Sorry Sean, that's not correct." Then a Scottish boy put his hand up and said, "It was St. Andrew." The teacher replied, "I'm sorry, Hamish, that's not right either." Finally, a Jewish boy raised his hand and said, "It was Jesus Christ." The teacher said, "That's absolutely right, Marvin, come up here and I'll give you the $2." As the teacher was giving Marvin his money, she said, "You know, Marvin, since you're Jewish, I was very surprised that you said Jesus Christ." Marvin replied, "Yeah. In my heart I knew it was Moses, but business is business!"
Guess The Instructions Read these 10 instructions and then scroll down... no cheating! 1- Back straight, knees bent, feet shoulder-width apart. 2- Form a loose grip. 3- Keep your head down. 4- Avoid a quick backswing. 5- Stay out of the water. 6- Try not to hit anyone. 7- If you are taking too long, please let others go ahead of you. 8- Don't stand directly in front of others. 9- Please be quiet while others are preparing to go. 10- Don't take extra strokes. Very good. Now flush the urinal, go outside, and tee off! From a sign posted at a local golf course restroom.
Little Johnny A kindergarten class had a homework assignment to find out about something exciting and relate it to the class the next day. When the time came for the little kids to give their reports, the teacher was calling on them one at a time. She was reluctant to call upon little Johnny, since he was sometimes a bit crude. But eventually his turn came. Little Johnny walked up to the front of the class, and with a piece of chalk, made a small white dot on the blackboard, and then sat back down. The teacher couldn't figure out what Johnny had in mind for his report on "something exciting," so she asked him just what that was. "It's a period," reported Johnny. "Well I can see that," she said, "but what is so exciting about a period?" "Damned if I know," said Johnny, "but this morning my sister said she missed one.... then Daddy had a heart attack, Mommy fainted, and the guy next door shot himself!"
Bubba Two good ol' boys, Bubba and Junior, get promoted from privates to sergeants. Not long after, they're out for a walk, and Bubba says, "Hey, Junior, there's the NCO Club. Let's you and me stop in and have us a drank." "But we's privates," protests Junior. "No, we's sergeants now," says Bubba, pulling him inside. "Now, Junior, I'm gonna sit down and have me a drank." "But, we's privates," says Junior. "You blind, boy?" says Bubba, pointing at his stripes. "We's sergeants now!" So they order their drinks and pretty soon, a hooker comes up to Bubba. "You're cute," she says, "and I'd like to take you someplace and make you feel good. But I've got a bad case of gonorrhea." Bubba pulls his friend to the side and whispers, "Junior, go look in the dictionary and see what that 'gonorrhea' means. If it's good, give me the okay sign." Junior goes to look it up, comes back, and gives Bubba the big okay sign. Three weeks later, Bubba is laid up in the infirmary with a terrible case of gonorrhea. "Junior," he says, "What did you give me the okay for?" "Well, Bubba, in the dictionary it says gonorrhea only affects the privates." Then he points to his stripes and says, "But we's sergeants now!"
You Know You're Middle You've come to the annoying realization that your parents were right about almost everything. The bag boy volunteers to help load groceries into your car, in the "10 items or less" lane. You've stopped supporting your children and started supporting your parents. You've found yourself discussing rain gutters. You remember your kids' names, just not always the right one. You have nightmares about forgetting to move the garbage cans to the street for the garbage collector. Your high school yearbook is now home to three different species of mold. You've realized that all those geeky people in Bermuda shorts walking around Disney World include you. You recognize Led Zeppelin songs that have been turned into elevator Muzak. As a public service, you have agreed to never appear on the beach in a Speedo again. You've had three opportunities to buy every single Disney animated classic... "for the last time in a generation." You'd pay good money to be strip-searched. Wal-Mart and Target seem to share your fashion sense. The only way you know to stop a virtual pet from beeping involves the patio and a sledgehammer. You can pack two suits, five shirts, five ties, five pairs of underwear, five pairs of socks, a pair of shoes, and half of your bathroom into a carryon bag -- in less than five minutes. If you hear "Stairway to Heaven" one more time, your head will explode. Your weight-lifting program seems to have no effect on your muscles, but the veins on the backs of your hands are bulking up quite nicely. On Saturday night, when your wife mentions "hot oil, a little friction, and squealing," you tell her you'll have the car checked first thing Monday morning.

Chicago / North Louisiana Holiday Beer Trade? Posted by petepetepetepete on 12/7 at 6:48 pm Hey, long time Food and Drink Board lurker here. I live in Chicago but will be visiting family in Northeast Louisiana around Christmas. Is anyone interested in meeting up for a beer trade? I have a 4-pack of 2012 Goose Island Bourbon County (not a variant, just plain ol' BCS). I'm also happy to bring anything from Chicago/Indiana/Michigan/Wisconsin/any brewery distributing to IL that's not available in Louisiana. I've been gone from Louisiana for many years (and I left way before I beernerdified myself), so I'd need to rely on you to tell me what I'd want in return--Parish? NOLA? Jester King? Saint Arnold? Let me know if you're interested/available, or even if you just have suggestions of what to look for. Thanks! Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Salmon on 12/7 at 6:50 pm to petepetepetepete man, if I had not already promised for a trade with a friend in Michigan, I'd definitely trade with youReply Back to Top |

Posted by Ole Geauxt on 12/7 at 6:52 pm to petepetepetepete i have a few of those little coors light cans... but, i think i want to keep em.. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by petepetepetepete on 12/7 at 7:24 pm to El Josey Wales Johnny's Pizza is real life science fiction. For $10, I can travel back through time and relive my entire childhood in 15 minutes. As for beer, I'd love to introduce someone to some of my Chicago favorites that can/bottle--Half Acre, Revolution, Pipeworks, 5 Rabbit, Metropolitan, Wild Onion (and there's a slew of great new Chicago breweries who aren't widely canning/bottling yet). But I'm also happy to bring the big boys--3 Floyds, Goose Island's Belgian line from the Fulton brewery, and any of the Michigan breweries--Bells/Founders/New Holland/Dark Horse/Arcadia/Jolly Pumpkin/a gajillion others. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Salmon on 12/7 at 7:49 pm to petepetepetepete dammit dammit I've been told I can't buy anymore beer until I drink what I have (damn women) or I'd buy whatever you wanted in Dallas this weekend. When are you coming back down? Reply Back to Top |
Posted by F machine on 12/7 at 10:31 pm to petepetepetepete Not sure where or when we could meet. I would guess parish, Nola, and St Arnold would probably be your best bets for something that's good and can probably only be gotten here. Well I know parish is only here. Fairly certain Nola is too. Not sure about St Arnold though. Bought a case of canebreak today actually.Reply Back to Top |
Posted by petepetepetepete on 12/8 at 1:46 am to F machine Salmon: Unfortunately, it'll likely be Thanksgiving next year before I make it back down. If you can execute a successful hearts and minds campaign in the home over the next week or so, we can make it happen. F machine: I'm flying down, but will have access to a car. I'll be based in the Monroe area, but will be able to get around, if need be. If you might be interested, let me know and I'll post my email so we can work out some details. If anyone else is interested, speak up! I've got a 100% empty suitcase and lots of great beer to share! Reply Back to Top |

Posted by petepetepetepete on 12/9 at 8:26 pm to Zappas Stache F machine, Rouge, and Zappos: Sorry for the delay in responding. I'm arriving on the 22nd--I could meet up on the 22nd (at night), 23rd, or 24th. I should be able to make it to Shreveport, no problem. And yes, I can get 3 Floyds. However, please let me know what you'd want. For example, I can get Zombie Dust sometimes, but not always. So if there's anything in particular you want, let me know so I can start hunting around now. You can email me at tigerdroppingspete at gmail and we can work out the logistics. Rouge, I emailed you just now. Thanks for responding, all. Hope to meet up and share some beer soon! Reply Back to Top |
Posted by LSUBoo on 12/10 at 7:25 am to petepetepetepete If you were coming to South Louisiana I'd be on this like white on rice. LOVE some Bourbon County Stout, and Three Floyd's. Plus I know there are some other great Chicago and regional breweries available. Does Haymarket bottle any of their stuff or is it at the pub only? Reply Back to Top |
Posted by petepetepetepete on 12/10 at 2:52 pm to LSUBoo Unfortunately, Haymarket is only on draft at the brewpub and at festivals. If you make the trip to Chicago, definitely stop by and try Mathias, their imperial IPA. But pretty much everything Pete Crowley makes is great, and most of their beers are Belgian-style. They've been a great addition to the Chicago beer scene. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Geauxld Finger on 12/10 at 3:06 pm to petepetepetepete Someone better ask for some Great Lakes Blackout Stout. Hell any of the Great Lakes brews. This is almost making me want to get back into beer trading. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by webstew on 12/10 at 4:01 pm to petepetepetepete Maybe these guys in Shreveport will be up and running by the time you get here. Great Raft Brewing Reply Back to Top |
Posted by petepetepetepete on 12/10 at 8:16 pm to webstew Thanks for the heads up. Looks like they're shooting for Summer 2013, though I've never seen a brewery open on schedule (I'm not sure if that's Chicago politics or just the nature of the over-regulated beast that is beer in America). Reply Back to Top |
Posted by petepetepetepete on 12/13 at 7:30 pm to petepetepetepete Alright, last call! I'll be bringing Rouge some Bourbon County, Zombie Dust, Dark Horse Crooked Tree, five other 3 Floyds beers, and two new Pipeworks beers from Chicago. If anyone else can manage a holiday meetup in North Louisiana and wants some quality Midwest beers for a friendly trade, let me know. See earlier in the thread for my email address.
