It's time for the Easter Vigil again, and my scent for this occasion for the past three of four years has been Parfum Sacré. It's not just that the name "sacred perfume" evokes a religious occasion; it's that the myrrh and cedar in the drydown of this fragrance reinforce that suggestion because they recall notes of incense. This really quite a powerful fragrance, and I look forward to wearing it every year at this time.

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

6 Lessons on Starting Up From Norm Brodsky
Charge on the High End
The classic mistake is to set pricing based on what you feel you need to earn rather than on how the market values your service, says Brodsky. "Competition generally determines the price you can charge. So the first step should always be to find out what competitors are charging." Call up other providers, posing as a customer, and get estimates. Contact state and national trade associations for information. And always gauge your customers' reactions to the price you give them. If they're response is along the lines of That's all?!, tell them you charge extra for X, Y, and Z. "Whatever approach you take," says Brodsky, "the rule is the same: You don't set the price; the market does." (For more, read "Solving the Pricing Riddle," September 2010.)

The Logan County Chamber of Commerce is gearing up to present its Annual Dinner on Thursday, Feb. 27 at the Logan County Extension Office.
This year's theme supports our country's proud and patriotic heritage "Made in America."
The doors will open at 5:30 p.m., with a buffet dinner, catered by Roy's Bar-B-Que. A menu of traditional southern food will be served including everything from fried chicken and bbq ribs to apple pie.
The Awards Program will begin at 7 p.m. and will recognize Logan United, Small Business of the Year, Teacher of the Year, Farm Family of the Year, retiring Chamber Board members, Tobacco & Heritage Festival chairs, Chamber Volunteer of the Year, and Corporate Recognitions.
Chamber members sponsor the tables, and will be decorated with the "Made in America" theme. Gifts will be provided to everyone seated at their table. There will also be a silent auction this year consisting of the table centerpieces. Entertainment for the evening is comedian Marty Pollio. See his website at http://www.1comedian.com/ to see his bio.
Tickets are $35 each and are available at the Chamber. RSVP is Feb. 17. People who aren't Chamber members are welcome to call the Chamber at 270-726-2206, to get on a waiting list in case there are any extra tickets available.
"The Annual Dinner is foremost a time to recognize volunteers and those special folks who work so hard for the community. It is also a time of fun and networking," said Lisa Browning, chamber executive director. "Several years ago, the Chamber Board did away with long speeches, suits and high heels for the annual dinner and just made it more of a casual, family and friends atmosphere. After all, that's what we are – family and friends!"

Closest thing to Kleinfelds in PA!Reviewed on 8/12/2012 Michelle G
They are amazing! Dresses are amazing, and staff is unbelievably accomodating!! I will miss going to see them. They knew us by name and worked through all of our requests!! Even offered suggestions that other salons did not. Also have hair salon right there for for day of services!
Wonderful Service and a Beautiful SelectionReviewed on 10/03/2014 Kelly H
I started dress shopping extremely late (I am a procrastinator). I went to a different dress store in Pittsburgh, and they kept showing me dresses double my budget, and kept pressuring me to buy. However; at Sorelle, they did not try to rush me, and they listened to what I wanted. I ended up picking a dress off the rack that was a size 12 (I am a size 2-4). Wendy, the woman who does alterations, was extremely helpful and kind. She did a beautiful job basically altering my gown into a whole new dress. It looked amazing when she was done! Every person I worked with from the purchasing of the gown, to alterations, to picking up the dress was amazing. They even boxed my dress and my mom's dress up for me to be ready for shipping (we are having a destination wedding). Each person truly makes you feel like family. I have no regrets about purchasing my dress at Sorelle, and I can't wait to wear it on the 12th for my wedding. Thank You for all your hard work and dedication to what you do!
Amazing dressReviewed on 9/27/2012 Jill C
I absolutely love my dress. Sorelle staff is friendly and informed. They will work within your budget and help you to find your dress. Their seamstress is amanzing. Highly recommend over the "chain" bridal places.
Credit to Marque and WendyReviewed on 11/17/2014 Elyse s
I cannot thank Sorelle enough for the amazing and easy wedding dress shopping experience they provided. My sister and I both had Marque as our consultant. She was amazing! She listened to what you had to say but had her own flare and led us both to the perfect dress! The ladies in the shop were so enthusiastic and welcoming and it made the process for shopping for a dress enjoyable and easy. I was planning my wedding from Texas in a 6 month time frame and these women made the stress of making an appointment and getting a dress in time so effortless. My biggest thanks goes to Wendy, the seamstress. She was INCREDIBLE. I was hesitant to wear a strapless dress, I didn't want to be one of the brides who was either falling out of the dress or always having to pull the dress up. Luckily because of Wendy's incredible talent my dress fit like a glove and I didn't have to pull it up the entire night. She was so fun to work with, her talent is amazing, she can alter and fix a dress so effortlessly. I ended up not liking the veil I ordered (it was too long) and about two weeks before the wedding Wendy whipped up the perfect one in no time! Having her as my seamstress made this process a breeze and I will be referring her to all my family and friends!
Stunning Sorelle!!Reviewed on 10/31/2014
I couldn't have imagined a better wedding experience than the one I had at Sorelle. I found my dream wedding dress there!!!! The girls at Sorelle are amazing and ridiculously sweet! I felt beyond comfortable asking questions and voicing concerns. The girls there are so patient and willing to meet every need of the bridal party and families. My entire bridal party received their dresses, tuxes, shoes and accessories there; I wouldn't have gone anywhere else!! My wedding party looked absolutely stunning!!! All of the attire and accessories arrived in a timely manner; I never felt worried or anxious about anything. The prices are also very reasonable! I highly recommend Sorelle as the best bridal shop in it's area! I wouldn't go anywhere else! If you want to have the best wedding experience of your life, SHOP SORELLE!!! :)
Great service, beautiful dresses, wonderful staffReviewed on 10/30/2014 Erin T
I highly recommend Sorelle Bridal Salon to anyone the staff is so helpful and has gone above and beyond to make my wedding dress experience something I will never forget.
truly amazing!Reviewed on 10/30/2014
I don't know where to begin. The staff is super friendly, and make you feel like family. The consultant helped me find the most beautiful dress and everyone makes me feel like a princess every time I try it on. The girls got the most beautiful bridesmaids dresses, which complement my dress perfectly. The guys got their tux there as well and they match perfectly. I highly recommend going here for one stop shopping and a truly amazing experience!!
Impeccable Service & STUNNING Gowns!Reviewed on 10/30/2014 Ashley J
There aren't enough words to explain how wonderful Jeanie, Michelle and the rest of the Sorelle girls are!! They have made my dress shopping experience so wonderful and EASY! My bridesmaids, junior bridesmaids, flower girls, mothers and grandmother will all be getting their dresses here (still working on ordering the rest of them). They care so much about making your wedding day special, all about you & ensuring everything goes off without a hitch. They really listened to my likes/dislikes about each dress so they knew what to pull next to find the one AND kept it all within my budget. The gowns are just beautiful & different from anything I've seen at the other bridal shops in the area, so that's a huge PLUS! Sorelle is truly a unique bridal salon and the best in the area. I would HIGHLY recommend going to see them no matter your budget or style. You will be so happy that you did!
Wonderful Bridal ExperienceReviewed on 10/30/2014 Julie A
I cannot say enough good things about this bridal salon. The salon is gorgeous, the selection is fabulous, the prices are reasonable, and the service is outstanding. The owner, Jeanie, is an absolute doll. She has a true eye for style and takes the time to get to know her brides. You can tell that she isn't just interested in making a quick sale; rather, she wants to make sure that her brides look and feel like a perfect princess on their day. Sorelle's is truly a one-stop-shop for wedding day attire. I got my wedding dress and all my accessories there, as well as all the tuxes, bridesmaid and jr. bridesmaid gowns, flower girl dress, and my mom's dress and jewelry. I loved getting everything at one place so I could see how all the items matched and coordinated to create the look I envisioned. Going to Sorelle's was by far my favorite part of my wedding planning experience. Now that I'm married, I really miss going into the store for appointments.
THE BEST BRIDAL STORE!!!Reviewed on 10/30/2014 Christina L
From the moment I entered the store, it was the best experience ever. I had went to numerous bridal stores before I went to Sorelle's and this store put all of them to shame! All of the employees were so helpful and so kind. They wanted to make sure I had a fabulous experience. They made me feel apart of their family! I not only bought my wedding gown there, but I also bought all of my jewelry, veil, shoes, 2 cocktail dresses for my showers, and the mother of the bride dress. Everything that we received was absolutely perfect! We made many trips to the store, some were just to see the employees! We even made friends with the owners and staff and invited them to my wedding. We still keep in touch with them and I hope to do so in the future. I have sent people down there for prom dresses, wedding dresses, etc., and they have all had great reviews. I can't say enough great things about this store. All of their gowns were beautiful, and they have so many to pick from. This is the best bridal store you can go to!! You will miss out if you don't go!!! I love them all!!!
Wonderful ExperienceReviewed on 10/07/2014 Felecia I
When looking for a wedding dress Sorelle is a place that you must check out. There are so many beautiful dresses to choose from. Jeanie knows her merchandise quite well and was able to pull dresses that were exactly what I was looking for in a matter of seconds. Dress shopping was a stress free experience for me and I highly recommend giving them a try.
Loved my dress!!!Reviewed on 7/17/2014 Jocelyn M
I really liked their selection of dresses and their prices were reasonable! The shop would get very busy at times and it would take a while to actually get service. Most of my appointments were 20-25 minutes later than scheduled.
DressesReviewed on 6/25/2014 Sarah D
I got my wedding dress and my mom's dress and my mother-in-law's dress here. The dresses were gorgeous and not ridiculously priced. The only problem I had was with alterations. It took forever to get my mother-in-law's dress done. We went back a month before the wedding for, what we thought, was her final fitting but there had been nothing done to it since the fitting prior. It still had the pins in it from last time even though they knew we drove 3 hours one way to get there for the fitting. Once the dresses were done, they were beautiful but a week before the wedding we were concerned if they were even going to be ready in time.
Beautiful Dress Excellent ServiceReviewed on 6/24/2014 Rachel H
I can't say enough about how great my experience at Sorelle was. My dress was beautiful and impeccably tailored. They helped with every crisis I had and exceeded my expectations. Thank you for everything!
Found my dream dressReviewed on 5/09/2014 Megan B
Walking into the store I had no idea what I wanted. I chose to have a short engagement so I had limited time to order a dress, 6 months. Our store associate, Marque (not sure the spelling) was so patient and we went through 5 styles before we discovered I wanted something entirely modern. I ended up with the Finchley by Enzoani and was the happiest girl! They were so sweet and made the whole day so special.
THE DRESS OF MY DREAMS!Reviewed on 4/10/2014 Caytlin
The girls at Sorelle are amazing. Everyone is very helpful and they make you feel very special. I fell in love with a dress that was discontinued and they could have just said that there would not be any left, but they went above and beyond and called the manufacturer to find that they had 1 left! It was smaller than my size but they assured me they could alter it to fit. I did order it and it was altered with a corset in the back to fit me. Wendy, who did the alterations there is awesome! She worked wonders on the dress and it looked perfect when she was done! We also purchased our bridesmaid dresses here and they were beautiful as well. We went with a different style for each bridesmaid and there were so many to choose from! I LOVED my dress and all of my accessories that went with it from Sorelle. I HIGHLY recommend them for all of your wedding needs!
Fantastic!Reviewed on 12/04/2013 Brianna R
I found my wedding gown at a bridal show & tried it on at an exhibit sponsored by Sorelle. When I went in to the shop to try the gown on again I was amazed that the staff remembered me. Every experience I had there was like this and by the end of my engagement I knew so many of the employees there. Spending time at the shop was fun! Every single person who works in this shop is willing to go above and beyond for their brides! We purchased my dress, my bridesmaids dresses, & my mother's dress from them for this reason. When one of my bridesmaids had a dress emergency two days before the wedding, the girls at the shop got me in touch with their seamstress even though she was not working in the shop that day. The staff at Sorelle is truly as beautiful as the gowns they sell!
AmazingReviewed on 11/09/2013 Melissa N
They have an enormous selection of beautiful dresses you are sure to find the one of your dreams! They are so helpful until the day of the wedding!
Good selection ....bad follow up serviceReviewed on 11/07/2013 Dana
They have a large selection of gowns. However, once I paid for my gown the service was completely horrible. All of my follow up appointments I had to wait on them at least 20 minutes. They are very disorganized. I was lied and told my earrings that were ordered were brand new...they were the stock pair. The seamstress didn't bring my dress to one of my fittings...I had to reschedule. My bridesmaids were charged 2 different prices for the exact same hem...it took a month before I got an answer....which was one got a "deal". They should have given the other the same discount. They kept apologizing but the problems kept happening. The girls that work there are so young and inexperienced. When there was a problem that I discovered, I would ask the girls and they would go MIA. A professional adult would have addressed my question/concern and dealt with it. Everyone makes mistakes it is how you handle them that makes the difference. The seamstress are WAY OVERPRICED I would definitely go elsewhere even for my bridal alterations--I was not impressed at all. A simple bridesmaid hem was $60....another bridesmaid got the hem at a regular tailor for $29.
Highly RecommendReviewed on 10/15/2013 Maria R
I loved this salon. The owner was so nice and always took time to personally talk to me. The consultant who helped me find my dress was amazing and patient. We had the best experience here. Definitely worth the drive from Pittsburgh.
Amazing Experience-Friendly Staff- Attentive to DetailReviewed on 8/28/2013 Leslie W
This was my second wedding and I had the best experience searching for the perfect dress! Sorelle Bridal Salon of Western PA has the most courteous and attentive staff. Jeannie (owner), Michelle, and the rest of the staff were friendly, attentive to detail, taking away the stress of finding the perfect dress. Gayana, the seamstress, was amazing too- fast and talented! Regardless of the style of dress you are searching for, you will find in at Sorelle! There is a huge selection of bridal, special occassion dresses and accessories at various price ranges also. Overall Five Star out of Five Star rating! Thank you!!!
Excellent place to dres shopReviewed on 8/24/2013 Savanna L
Sorelle was a great bridal salon to work with. They went over and beyond to help find my perfect wedding dress. I asked to try on different styles and they helped me narrow down to what I wanted. I found my dress the first time I went shopping. I also bought my veil and shoes there. My shoes were on back order so they let me borrow the sample for my dress fitting. Also, they dyed my shoes hot pink to match my bridesmaids shoes and they turned out PERFECT. Sorelle made my dress shopping experience wonderful.
Awful experience!Reviewed on 8/06/2013 Sierra L
Terrible experience on multiple occasions! I went in looking for bridesmaids dresses by myself to get some ideas. No one offered to help me, actually 5 employees all sat on the couch and argued about hi would help me. After someone finally came back I told her what I was looking for and she pulled one dress and then the other staff made her answer the phone as they continues to sit on the couch. I found a dress I liked and asked the girl to write it down for me so if I came back they would know. She sai oh I will remember. Never wrote it down asked my name or anything. I went back with m mom to show her the dress. After searching all over for it cuz the girl who would remember for me wasn't there! I puns the dress but someone else told us it was discontinued and tried talking me into getting a dress that was nothing at all like I ha in mind! I was over it and walked out! My cousin is gettin married and took us bridesmaids there to go look for dresses! Yet again another awful experience! I am not a size 2 girl, I probably wear a 14-16. So I am definitely not the biggest girl to ever go in there! Every dress they handed me to try on was a pencil skirt in a size 4. Well clearly I have hips and couldn't fit into anything at all! I asked them if they had sample dresses in bigger sizes and they told me no! I was totally embarrassed and humidified! So as the rest of the bridesmaids tried on dresses and had a good time picking out dresses I sat there! I don't understand how every sample dress is a size 4! Will never ever step foot in there again!
First of all, you need to check your grammar and take a few spelling lessons. But having said that, it sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder regarding sample sizes. Samples are sized the way they are because the MAJORITY of the young... Read Less Read More
Beautiful Dresses, Perfect Place!Reviewed on 8/05/2013 Brittany T
Loved EVERYTHING about my dress. They were spectacular especially Michelle. She really made the experience great. We also got my bridesmaids dresses there which they received a discount. My seamstress worked with me the entire time and everything turned out wonderful!
Fantastic Bridal Salon!!Reviewed on 7/25/2013 Courtney
After a bad experience at David's Bridal... I decided to try my hand at Sorelle. I heard nothing but good things about this place. And boy, am I glad I went here! The quality customer service I received here was fantastic! I didn't feel like a customer, but more like family. My consultant listened to what I was looking for and took her time helping me in and out of dresses. I never felt rushed or pressured into buying a gown. They truly treat every bride like a Princess! My mom even found her Mother-of-the-Bride dress here. They worked with her and her body type and found what looked the best on her. Every member of the staff is great! I would highly recommend Sorelle to anyone looking for a wedding gown, evening dress, prom/homecoming dress, and even accessories and shoes!

Therefore, there is no settling this debate. It gets even more difficult, if risking your life causes others to be at risk. Typically dismissed by arguing how unlikely that is.
Its like seat belt laws. Risk killing yourself, if you like, but requiring an ambulance or being superior on the triage list at the hospital can impact others lives. Or helmet laws, which have the same argument.
Although, here is the slight parallel here to the helmet laws. If a state doesn't have one, its amazing that almost no one wears one. That tells me that even those that would wear one, don't because they wouldn't look cool. I'm hearing a similar argument for single handed sailing. Tougher, cooler, saltier, evidenced by calling those that advocate a good watch system as sissy yachties. Those that suggest single handed sleeping isn't as safe as maintaining a proper watch or complying with the rules, are simply telling the truth. Those that don't care are welcome to it in my book, as long as they don't take anyone else with them.
The state of Florida used to have motorcycle helmet laws.I myself through experience desire to wear a helmet. I believe that freedom of choice is very important,( unless it affects someone else.) That makes this a very good analogy. How difficult can it be to have someone along to stand a watch. I have been faced with this many times. I often take my five-year-old daughter with me when I do a delivery, or just sailing for recreational reasons. I would not dream of single handling if it was just me and her. I always bring someone along either experienced or not.I will admit that years ago I used a single hand, but experience and close calls as changed my thinking, when it comes to sleeping at the helm or otherwise.

Sometimes I cry…
Yes, sometimes a woman cries and her mask goes down her face. And no, when i sat to write it had not been a bad day. It had a little bit of lots of things, but tears didn't wet my eyes. Not for sorrow, and not for laugh either. But now, something is true in my SL, with these tattoo layers, Aloma can also cry, and it won't be like if something strange would have stained face. Aloma can cry, and her mask will move down, and i will believe her tears… But before she stops crying, i hope you enjoy the pictures… with a smile :-)

I wanted to speak about this nice sim that looks like a big field of wheat ready for the harvest.

(LINDSAY) History doesn't have to be a dry subject.
Although, when your country experiences a "booze epidemic," sometimes going dry - courtesy of the temperance movement in the late 1820s - is exactly what's needed.
It's just one of the many interesting facets included in Lindsay author Earle Gray's 10th book, About Canada.
The book grew out of a series of short anthologies Mr. Gray had written many years ago; tales on love, friends and lessons of life.
"I thought I'd do a little book about Canada and it turned into a big book about Canada," said Mr. Gray sporting a proud smile. "It just sort of grew."
Some of the material came from a book he began several years ago entitled Olde News - a series of colourful stories culled from Canadian newspapers. The book was never published.
One of the main stories Mr. Gray included in the book regales what "really happened" during the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. The piece had originally began as a small paragraph, accepting the convention of Canadian history that is often claimed as having cast Canada's destiny as a true nation.
However, his long-time friend and McGill University historian, Desmond Morton, set him straight.
"He took some umbrage when I sent him an early compilation of my book," said Mr. Gray who was informed that British General James Wolfe "won the battle he did not win the war."
The outcome, he said, was actually determined - quite simply - by who arrived first on Canada's shores following exhausting battles in the Atlantic. "Britain won, otherwise, much of Canada might have been French speaking," said Mr. Gray, noting it all led to another momentous time in Canada's history - the world, in fact - as it paved the way for the American Rebellion.
Mr. Gray was also captivated by another significant piece of national and international history, albeit tragic; the terrible tragedy that befell Irish immigrants due to the cholera epidemic and potato famine where more than 30,000 people died.
Being fairly political, Mr. Gray couldn't very well overlook more recent history, particularly on Parliament Hill, which he believes is significantly impacting Canada's future history.
"...Because the history is still living with us," said Mr. Gray noting, compared to other nations, Canada is a relatively young country where many are "beneficiaries" of historical actions that have occurred in their lifetime, such as the formation of NATO, UN Peacekeeping and the establishment of the International Criminal Court.
While the book is filled with numerous, neat little tidbits on Canadian history, Mr. Gray said the secondary title - a quote from Chinese-born, now Canadian Wanda Clute - My God, this is a great country! speaks volumes to him and hopefully, provides inspiration to readers.
"I hope, with all its flaws, and I haven't tried to gloss over the flaws, they [readers] get a sense that this is a great country. It's accomplished great things...and despite its shortcomings, it's still one of the best democracies in the world," said Mr. Gray.

Hayes, A. J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), May 1985)[more][less]
Abstract: The overall goal of the DOE Industrial Heat Pump Program is to foster research and development which will allow more efficient and economical recovery of waste energy in industry. Specifically, the program includes the identification of appropriate heat pump applications within the industrial sector and the subsequent development of heat pump technologies to meet the industrial requirements. The initial phases of the program were directed towards extending the technology of the more conventional heat pump systems, such as, Rankine and Brayton cycles so as to provide near-term results. In addition to system studies, material and component developmental programs were undertaken that would potentially result in enhanced performance and reduced costs. Research in more sophisticated and higher risk heat pump systems are being pursued on a longer term schedule. Novel mechanical systems, such as sterling cycles and magnetic heat pumps and advanced chemical systems, such as zeolite-water absorption cycles and heat of reaction systems are currently being investigated. This paper provides the program rationale and details the logic employed in designing a sound and cost-effective R&D program. A R&D flow diagram is structured with a series of major milestones or go/no go decision points. The paper traces the systematic progress of a technology from conception, through the various developmental phases until final prototype tests.

Abstract: Radiance Services Company manages a new technology called the Radiance Process®, a dry non-toxic technology for surface cleaning. The Radiance Process received the National Pollution Prevention Roundtable's 1997 Most Valuable Pollution Prevention Award. It employs quantum mechanical effects of laser light and a flowing inert gas, ordinarily nitrogen, to clean surfaces. The light lifts the contaminant from the surface and the flowing gas sweeps it away. There is no pollution and no waste besides the removed contaminant itself. The Process is inexpensive and readily adaptable to many manufacturing products ranging from computer chips, hard disks, and night vision goggles to tire molds. The Process is covered by 29 patents issued in the U.S. and overseas and 189 patent applications pending internationally.

Abstract: There is a limited data base on the full scale performance of radiant barrier insulation in attics. The performance of RBS have been shown to be dependent on attic ventilation characteristics. Tests have been conducted on a duplex located in Florida with soffit and ridge venting to measure attic performance. The unique features of these experiments are accurate and extensive instrumentation with heat flow meters, field verification of HFM calibration, extensive characterization of the installed ceiling insulation, ventilation rate measurements and extensive temperature instrumentation. The attics are designed to facilitate experimental changes without damaging the installed insulation. RBS performance has been measured for two natural ventilation levels for soffit and ridge venting. Previously, no full scale data have been developed for these test configurations. Test data for each of the test configurations was acquired for a minimum of two weeks with some acquired over a five week period. The Rl9 insulation performed as expected.

Abstract: Results of winter experiments conducted in Central Texas are presented. The experiments were side-by-side tests using two identical 144 ft2 houses which responded similarly to weather variations prior to any retrofits. Two radiant barrier orientations were tested, horizontal barrier and barrier against the rafters, in vented and non-vented attics. The results compiled in this paper are for attics with R-19 fiberglass insulation. The data showed that radiant barriers were still effective during the winter season. During a typical day radiant barriers prevented approximately 9-17 percent of the indoor heat from escaping into the attic. No significant difference in moisture accumulation was detected in the attic with the radiant barrier.

Raburn, R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), May 1999)[more][less]
Abstract: Electro-Magnetic Energy has finally made its way into the Petro-Chemical market twenty-five years after market acceptance in the Food Processing Industry. Major factors influencing this change are tighter environmental regulations, price competition and increased production requirements. The main barriers are primarily due to perception of high costs and safety issues coupled with the fact that neither industry had a strategic reason to market their products to each other. The speed at which these changes can take place is impeded by the lack of industry information sharing brought on by the need to gain a competitive edge. These barriers are beginning to break down now that the Petro-Chemicals engineering and management are requiring their processes be reviewed to meet the challenges.

Abstract: This paper describes evaporative spray roof cooling systems, their components, performance and applications in various climates and building types. The evolution of this indirect evaporative cooling technique is discussed. Psychrometric and sol-air principles are covered and a simplified method of evaluation presented. A life cycle energy savings example is discussed. Benefits of roof life and roof top equipment efficiency and maintenance are covered as well as water consumption and performance trade-offs with alternate methods of roof heat gain control. Testimonials and case studies are presented. The gradual migration of business, industry, and populace to the southern United States was largely brought on by the advent of the practical air-conditioner, cheap electricity, and the harshness of northern winters. But while "wintering at Palm Beach" has been replaced by "Sun Belt industries" ; the compression-refrigeration cooling cycle is about the only thing separating millions of southerners (native and adopted) from August heat stroke and the Detroit News employment ads. This migration has been spurred by economic recessions which hit harder at the competitively populated northern centers than at the still growing industries of the south. These trends are important illustrations of the concern for efficient cooling strategies. Not only are homes in hot climates vulnerable to the now not-so-low cost of electricity but large, compact. and heavily occupied buildings (offices, schools, hospitals, theaters, etc.) often must air-condition year-around. In 1968. air-conditioning was 3% of U.S. end energy consumption compared to 18% for space heating and 25% for transportation. By 1980, according to Electric Power Research Institute's Oliver Yu, air-conditioning use was 12.5% of all electricity generated and by the year 2000 is projected to reach 16.7% "as migration slows and the GNP reaches a stable 3% growth rate" (EPRI 1982 to 1986 Overview and Strategy). Of further significance is the effect of air-conditioning loads on the peak generating requirements of electrical utilities. Because utilities must build generating capacity to meet peak requirements, they normally charge a higher summer kWh rate (for residential) and levy a peak kW demand charge on a monthly or even annual "ratchet" rate (for larger service customers). The June '83 cover of Houston City Magazine, in reference to future electrical rates, promised: "Pay or Sweat". Typical of many cooling or heat gain prevention strategies being employed on "innovative" buildings in warm climates, evaporative spray roof cooling (ESRC) systems (not to be confused with roof ponds) are not new. Like ventilated structures, ice house roofs, enhanced ventilation, masonry walls, night sky radiation and ground contact cooling, evaporative cooling in many forms has been around for centuries. (See Solar Age, July '82 and February '81 for related articles). Even the development of roof spray systems is not as newly founded as one might suspect.

Abstract: Comparisons are made of the performance and installation costs of Rankine and Brayton power cycles when applied to waste heat recovery from a 350 ton/day container glass furnace. The power cycles investigation included: a) a conventional steam Rankine cycle, b) an organic Rankine cycle, c) an indirectly heated positive pressure Brayton cycle and d) a directly heated subatmospheric Brayton cycle. For the specified flue gas temperatures considered, the organic Rankine cycle produced the most electric power. If, however, reduction in fuel cost is of primary importance, then simple heat recuperation is the most effective method of heat recovery. Except for the subatmospheric Brayton cycle, typical payback periods are on the order of three to four years. The subatmospheric Brayton cycle was found not to be an attractive heat recovery alternative for this particular application.

Abstract: Combined Heat and Power (CHP) has been identified as a significant opportunity for greater energy efficiency and decreased environmental impacts of energy consumption. Despite this, the regulatory and policy landscape for CHP is often quite discouraging to the deployment of these systems, despite their many benefits to customers and society at large. That the landscape changes considerably from state to state only confuses the matter. Of all the various types of distributed generation, CHP systems encompass technologies particularly hard hit by policies and regulations that do not actively support their deployment. Given the large size of some CHP systems, interconnection standards that clearly delineate interconnection processes for multi-megawatt systems are necessary. In addition, since many CHP technologies emit incremental criteria pollutants as part of their operation, the manner in which emissions are regulated by a state can significantly impact the financial realities of running a CHP system. In the absence of strong federal guidance, interconnection standards, tax incentives, tariff designs, environmental regulations and other policy measures that dramatically impact the attractiveness of CHP projects can only be significantly addressed by state lawmakers and regulators. State activity is essential to creating a policy framework that encourages CHP. Within the past several years, a number of states have made significant strides in implementing more "CHP-friendly" policies. Some states have worked to develop these policies at an accelerated rate while others have done little. In many cases the difference between states that are proactively encouraging CHP and states that are ignoring it all together is stark. This paper will identify which states are leading the way, which states are following, and what the policies of all states look like at this current point in time. It will define what "CHP-friendly" policies are, what makes a good policy better, and discuss the manners in which a variety of states have chosen to approach CHP. CHP system developers will come away with a clearer picture of each state's unique CHP barriers, potential CHP customers will understand how their current CHP climate compares to that of other locations, and state lawmakers and CHP advocates will be able to learn about best practices in policy creation that already exist in the field.

Abstract: Until the present there has been no effective way to rapidly scan thermally insulated refinery or process piping for corrosion or thin wall. Such defects, if left unattended, can lead to wasteful losses of time, energy and money. To date the most common means of locating such defects has been random spot measurement of suspect regions using ultrasonic or radiographic techniques. The obvious weakness of such an approach is the low probability of selecting the region of most severe corrosion in a long expanse of insulated piping. PA Incorporated has developed an electromagnetic inspection device which rapidly scans nearly 100 percent of an insulated pipeline (flanges and tees excluded) and provides a quantitative (2 percent) measurement of average wall thickness and qualitative evaluation of external and internal corrosion. The value of the device lies in its ability to quickly locate major problem areas through thermal insulation which can then be examined in more detail by removing insulation and using other techniques. This paper describes the device, the inspection results to date, and the unique advantages of this new inspection tool.

Abstract: This paper considers three related questions: 1) What are the primary economic driving forces which determine the rate of industrial energy conservation? 2) How much industrial energy conservation has been achieved over 1972-1973 levels? 3) What are the goals and expectations for decreases in industrial energy use during the next 10-20 years? The specific energy consumption (SEC) of a plant or industry, measured in BTU of fuel used/ton of product produced, can be used to monitor the energy conserved. The rate of SEC reduction is a function of five primary variables: the potential for reduction of the SEC, the unit cost of fuel, the capital available for implementation of conservation measures, the quantity of fuel available, and the availability: of equipment to implement needed conservation measures. A mathematical-economic model is proposed for the decrease in energy use, and permits calculation of dollars saved also. Conclusions from the study are: 1) Potential savings were estimated as 20-31% of 1972 levels; through 1978 a 13-20% actual reduction in energy use has been achieved. 2) The additional can be realized by; 1982 by "strong action", or by 1987 by "moderate action". To date moderate action has been taken. 3) Overall energy conservation pays out rapidly - dollars saved return dollars invested many fold!

Abstract: A methodology is presented for rating the performance of mixed, split residential air conditioners. The method accounts for the impact on system performance of the indoor evaporator, expansion device and fan; three major components that are likely to be substituted for the matched components in a mixed system. The method allows calculation of capacity at 95°F rating point and seasonal energy efficiency ratio, SEER, without performing laboratory test of the complete system. Limitations of the procedure, present work, and anticipated improvements are also discussed.

Abstract: Through its Industries of the Future (IOF) strategy, the US DOE's Office of Industrial Technologies (OIT) seeks to develop and deploy advanced technologies and practices that will increase energy efficiency, environmental performance, and productivity for manufacturers in nine energy-intensive and waste-intensive industries. OIT helps establish state IOF Partnerships in order to expand the benefits of the national IOF strategy to many manufacturers on the local level. By supporting an IOF Partnership, states mitigate factors that inhibit effective response to challenges faced by their industries and also provide a coordinated framework for state-level industrial programs. The state optimizes its intellectual capital by coordinating efforts of universities, industrial leaders and state officials. The resulting benefits are especially evident in the areas of environmental policy and economic development.

Abstract: Three years after its start up, the building considered here is not yet providing a satisfactory comfort to its occupants. Too cold and too hot environmental conditions were too often encountered in different occupied zones, mainly in midseason and in summertime. The execution of a re- commissioning process would support in resolving these problems. Previous verifications allowed us to confirm that almost all HVAC components considered are technically "correct" and that almost all problems are coming from mistakes committed when installing and tuning these components. The re-commissioning presented in this paper is based on both calculation and experimental data.

Abstract: Commissioning is a unique opportunity, for all partners concerned, to learn a lot about the real behavior of a HVAC system. It has to start from comfort and health requirements in occupancy zones, and going back to the plant through the whole air conditioning system. Focus is given here to the so-called "recommissioning" and the proposed principles are illustrated by reference to a specific case study: the "CAMET" building. The "CA-MET" is a new ministry office building, designed for an occupancy of about 1000 people and located in the city of Namur, in Belgium. The building is cooled, thanks to a VAV/CAV system. Heating is provided independently by a classical hydronic radiator system. By lack of time, here as usually, the HVAC initial commissioning was done in a hurry And, as soon as starting his job, the manager received a fair amount of complaints from the building occupants. The building was selected as a "good" case study to illustrate the work developed in the frame of the IEA-ECBCS "annex 40" project This paper is presenting the methodology used in the first re-commissioning phase, some examples of results and also some general recommendations.

Abstract: A Tie Line Control System maintains the purchase quantity of electrical energy an industrial facility buys from a utility company. Implementing an advanced Tie Line Control system automates the buy versus make decision process for an industrial facility in order to optimize the use of energy by either a supply-side method or a demand-side method. If a facility possesses supply-side resources, such as self-generation, the user can choose to maximize on-site energy generation, when it is less expensive than the price offered by the utility. Conversely, when the price to buy energy is less expensive than it is to produce it, a facility may choose to back off on self-generation and buy more energy. One such Advanced Tie Line Control system, designed by Automation Applications, Incorporated (AAI) and installed at a pilot facility, utilizes a real-time pricing utility contract and provides savings approaching one million dollars per year. This paper is a case study of this system implementation and the results achieved.

Dear Parents and Guardians:
It's hard to believe that I'm starting my third year at Garretson and 14th year overall as a school administrator. I have seen many changes over the years in education; new textbooks, curriculum, Standards, etc. However, the most important factors for a school are the connections and relationships that are built between the school and parents and understanding the individual academic and social needs of every child. I can say proudly that Garretson continues to make great strides in order to support all students in becoming success scholars and citizens.
I am very excited about the academic programs that Garretson has to offer our students. We are home to our Dual Language Immersion program, English Learner and GATE programs. In addition, we have a stellar Special Education department. Regardless of the educational strand enjoyed by your child, all of our students receive the benefit of a highly enriched language arts and mathematics curriculum. Our teachers work collaboratively in their Professional Learning Community in sharing lessons, activities designed to meet the needs of each and every child. The staff of Garretson looks upon every child within our school as "their child;" meaning that we are collectively responsible to ensure success for every student.
There are many studies that prove that students do better in school when they are surrounded by caring and compassionate people. We have implemented Character Counts, Second Step, 100Mile Club, a dynamic Student Council and we have implemented school-wide positive discipline system built on the promise of helping kids correctly navigate classroom and playground situations.
There are many ways parents can become active at school. We have a fantastic PTA which is always seeking volunteers. Parents are always welcome to volunteer in our classrooms. More information will be following during the first week of school explaining our parent volunteer orientation and check-in process.
From time to time, it is very common for questions to arise about your child's progress. Please feel free to leave a message in the office for your child's teacher and always know my door is open.

|Digestible lysine and threonine requirements of male turkeys and their effects on performance of male turkeys fed practical diets to market age
|Linares, Leonardo Bretas
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|Seven experiments were conducted to determine the minimum requirements of digestible lysine (dLys) and digestible threonine (dThr) from 1 to 21 weeks of age for male turkeys. Requirement values were similar to NRC (1994) recommendations, after application of digestibility coefficients. The minimum requirements for dLys and dThr were then used to formulate low crude protein diets for male turkeys from 1 to 18 weeks of age, using safety factors of 0, 5 and 10% over the minimum amino acid requirements, compared with an industry average diet. Results indicate that a low crude protein diet formulated with a 10% safety factor with respect to the minimum recommended levels of digestible AA did not negatively affect performance, carcass, or meat yield, and resulted in significantly higher revenues as compared with an industry standard diet.

How to Become an Industrial Insulation Contractor
Learn how to become an industrial insulation contractor. Research the job duties and training requirements and find out how to start a career in this profession.
Do I Want to Be an Industrial Insulation Contractor?
Industrial insulation contractors apply materials that maintain temperature in pipes, boilers, vats and mechanical equipment. They also prevent contact with dangerous or hazardous materials. These professionals generally work indoors, though insulating gas or oil lines can require working outside occasionally.
A career as an industrial insulation contractor is considered relatively safe, though minor injuries are always a possibility, and insulators spend most of their time standing or bending in small spaces. The only other hazard can come from the insulation itself, which can be an irritant, but wearing protective clothing and making sure the work area is well ventilated can help minimize exposure.
Job Requirements
Individuals can learn the trade on-the-job or participate in an apprenticeship. With enough experience, contractors can advance to leadership positions. Review the following requirements and steps necessary for this career.
Step 1: Finish High School
A high school or equivalent diploma is not a strict requirement for entry-level insulation work; however, it can increase chances of employment or acceptance into an apprenticeship program. Industrial insulation work involves a basic understanding of construction, as well as how heat and sound are conducted. According to the International Association of Heat and Frost Insulators and Allied Workers, courses in woodwork, mechanical drawing, physics, algebra and geometry can provide a good educational foundation for insulation contractors (www.insulators.org).
Step 2: Complete a Training Program
Industrial insulation workers can receive informal, on-the-job training or complete a formal apprenticeship program. Entry-level workers and apprentices are generally required to be 18 years old, have a valid driver's license and be able to carry loads up to 50 pounds.
An apprenticeship, which combines work experience with classroom education, may prove the most beneficial. In 2009, the International Association of Heat and Frost Insulators and Allied Workers reported that 95% of surveyed craftsmen were still employed in the same trade five years after completion of their apprenticeship, and 41% had advanced to leadership positions, with some owning their own businesses. A worker with experience can also join an apprenticeship program to earn journeyman status.
Step 3: Consider Certifications and Licenses
Individuals who certify their skills can advance to supervisory positions. The National Insulation Association offers training to become a Certified Insulation Energy Appraiser, a professional who can determine ideal insulation thickness and calculate potential energy cost savings. Industrial insulation contractors involved in the renovation of an older structure will require workers licensed by the Environmental Protection Agency to inspect for and remove asbestos.
Step 4: Start Your Own Insulation Business
One option for experienced industrial insulation contractors is starting a business. Many states require insulation contractors to be licensed. Typical licensing requirements include a minimum amount of professional experience, liability insurance and a verification of business assets, such as a bond. Some states may require completion of training courses or a passing score on an examination.

text: The Air Wave (Helen Jordan) wiki last edited by trayc27 on 02/15/15 11:24AM View full history Origin Becoming the second Air WaveHelen Jordan was the wife of Larry Jordan, the first Air Wave. Helen married Jordan when he was a District Attorney for Brooklyn. Helen and Larry eventually had a son, Hal, whom she named after Larry's cousin, also named Hal Jordan. One day, when Hal was three years old, Helen found her home broken into while Larry was still at work. The culprit was Joe Parsons, a criminal Larry had put away as a D.A. Parsons found Larry's home, intent on revenge. Larry learned of the break-in over the police scanner, and rushed home, only to be killed in cold blood by Parsons.Wanting justice, Helen took her husband's Air Wave costume and became the second Air Wave. She tracked Parsons down, and captured him for the police. With Parsons in jail, Helen retired the Air Wave costume, though she vowed that her son, Hal would continue the tradition.
