Crowley Maritime Salvage, Seattle, is the Pacific Ocean contractor.
Smit Tak, a Netherlands corporation, is the Navy's Western Pacific, Indian Ocean, and Arabian Sea/Arabian Gulf salvor.
The contracts each run for a period of one year with four annual options to renew. The contracts require immediate response with designated facilities and carry a guaranteed minimum value. The contractors receive their costs plus an award fee for operations actually tasked.
SUPSALV also competitively awards contracts with a number of salvage-related companies pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 7362 to provide services using salvage equipment owned and furnished by the Navy. Military departments are authorized to lease government-owned equipment to private companies under 10 U.S.C. § 2667. Pursuant to this statute the Navy, through SUPSALV, may lease pollution response equipment to private organizations. The terms of these equipment rentals are similar to (but differ in several important respects from) those for salvage equipment leased pursuant to the Salvage Facilities Act.
In each case the contractor is free to enter other contracts with private customers, but may not use the Navy's equipment, and the other contracts must not interfere with the Navy's requirements. These contracts provide for ocean floor search and recovery, in-water ship repair, oil spill response, and salvage equipment depot maintenance; the specific terms vary.
The ocean floor search and recovery contracts are held by Oceaneering Technologies, Inc. This contractor maintains and operates SUPSALV's remotely operated vehicles and underwater search systems. The contracts provide for immediate response and mobilization and pay costs plus award fee for tasked operations.
Oceaneering International, the parent of Oceaneering Technologies, holds the Navy contract to provide worldwide diving services. They include in-water ship inspection and repairs, such as underwater cutting and welding, rudder repair, and propeller and shaft bearing replacement. The contract requires the Navy to furnish certain equipment and requires Oceaneering to provide divers for Navy jobs worldwide. While the contractor is permitted to perform non-Navy work, such work must not interfere with Navy requirements and taskings. The contractor is paid on a daily fee schedule according to the type of diving services provided and recovers its costs plus an award fee.
The salvage equipment depot contractor is Global Phillips Cartner (GPC). GPC maintains the Navy's Emergency Ship Salvage Material (ESSM) warehouses in Williamsburg, Virginia; Stockton, California; Bahrain; Pearl Harbor; Sasebo, Japan; Aberdeen, Scotland; Livorno, Italy; and Singapore. ESSM warehouses hold a large variety and quantity of salvage, diving, and pollution response equipment. The Williamsburg and Stockton facilities also develop and maintain specialized salvage and pollution response equipment. They employ skilled individuals capable of manufacturing, packing, and shipping equipment needed for a salvage and/or pollution response operation anywhere in the world. GPC earns costs plus award fee under this contract. It employs about 130 individuals full time to satisfy contract requirements.
GPC also holds the Navy's pollution response contract and maintains and operates the Navy's extensive inventory of pollution response equipment. On occasion, GPC is tasked by the Navy to support U.S. Coast Guard pollution response operations involving private concerns, shipowners, cargo owners, or pollution liability underwriters. This support almost invariably includes providing Navy-owned pollution response equipment, maintained and operated by GPC, according to a published cost schedule. These costs are billed to the ''responsible party,'' either directly or through the Coast Guard. GPC receives its costs plus an award fee, which

Ask someone who finished the game anything
For history of Deponia you need to look at all the murals after lighting them up, not just the puzzle one.
For Paradox use the pebble on the pool, I did it before activating the elevator.
You can kill me, but then I'll be dead.
Aww, it's soo cute, just makes you want to club it.
How do you get past the conversation with Wenzel in his house? I can't get past the dialog choices of "Do you have an idea of how to get...Clear Water/revitilizing liquid/blackish powder" etc.
I'm thinking this might be a bug in the game, because there's just no way to get past this part of the dialog.
I can't get past the dialog choices ...
The last option in this list is "Forget it" which returns to the previous choices
If you've used the Escape key to skip some of the conversation, it can happen that not all of the conversation options appear
Try again from your last save
While some of this conversation may provide clues, it is optional

That's it, the "Forget it" never appears, no matter how many times I reload a save. Good to know I can just skip the whole part though. Thanks!
History of deponia is when you inspect every mosaic in the tower at the end.. but under the light of the phosphor candy
Paradox is when you try to trash something in the pool of water at the tower again... something like a pebbles or anything... except cotton candy of course..

Urban and Inner-City Studies
Academic Departments and Programs
"Studying at the (Selkirk Avenue) campus helps me connect to my community and network with other people living and working in the North End. Having the opportunity to meet and learn from local politicians, business owners and residents is very energizing. It stimulates new ideas and lays the groundwork for putting these ideas into action". - Holly Enns, 3rd year UIC major
"Taking classes on Selkirk Avenue is a completely different experience. I like the feeling of community that comes from knowing almost everyone in class and all the staff and faculty here. It's easy to find somebody to study with or a moment to consult with an instructor." - Laurel Cassels, 2nd year UIC student
"This program has given me the opportunity not only to study urban
experiences but also to see all of the important work being done in
Winnipeg related to housing, employment, inclusion and many other
areas. It's enabled me to see Winnipeg as a whole while understanding
the differing realities that exist." - Tyler Blashko, 4th year UIC major
Urban and Inner-City Studies is an interdisciplinary Major concerned with the examination of the city as a dynamic environment. The program combines a traditional urban studies focus with courses that examine various aspects of the inner city, such as the urban Aboriginal experience, the immigrant and refugee experience, and the role of women. In Canada, cities continue to be centres of great challenge: from managing suburban growth to promoting inner-city revitalization; from responding to the opportunities and concerns created by rapidly changing demographics, to those created by globalization and socio-economic change. Cities are also home to increased concentrations of poverty and social and political exclusion. The Urban and Inner-City Studies program provides an opportunity to examine the political, economic, social and spatial context of these and many other important aspects of urban change from an interdisciplinary perspective.

AOL Offers Additional Security
by Keith R. Wheeler
You may remember an article back on July 27th titled "End of Passwords?" in which passwords are supplemented by a code delivered to the user via a pager-like device. The code sent to the device changes every 60 seconds in order to provide the extra security. Even if a hacker or spyware installed a keystroke recorder on a computer, the ever-changing code makes it impossible for the bad guys to access your account. America Online, along with RSA Security, Inc., is offering just such a service as an option. For just $1.95/month after paying a one-time 9.95 fee, AOL users would receive a special PIN code after entering their normal password. AOL explains that the target audience for this service includes small businesses and victims of identity theft. In addition, the security option will also prevent phishers (last week's article) from acquiring all of the information needed to log in. In all likelihood, other service providers and financial institutions will begin to offer similar services.

Dr. Randy Owen Kritzer; License # 39005
Nature of Complaint:
The North Carolina Medical Board has reviewed information regarding a claim payment made on the physician's behalf in September 2008 involving care provided in June 2005. The Board is concerned about the physician's involvement in the care and treatment of the patient. The Board notes that the physician was one of several physicians involved in the diagnosis and care of the patient and there is disagreement over the nature and amount of the physician's involvement in this case, specifically whether the physician was asked to provide a neurosurgical consultation when the patient first exhibited signs of spinal canal dysfunction. It is the Board's position that if there was confusion about what was being asked of the physician, it was his responsibility to clarify his role and responsibilites.
Action Taken:
The physician has been issued a public letter of concern by the North Carolina Medical Board.

Pit Crew Chiefs Todd Berrier and Kevin 'Bono' Manion Set Aside Rivalry and Team Up to Help Racing Fans Learn More About Gout
WASHINGTON and DEERFIELD, Ill., June 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Men's Health Network (MHN) and Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America, Inc., today announced a partnership to launch the "Gout Pit Stop," an educational campaign to raise awareness about gout, a type of arthritis that affects approximately 8.3 million people in the U.S. and is the most common form of inflammatory arthritis in men. Launched just before one of the biggest events of the year on the racing calendar and during Men's Health Month, the national campaign will inform people about gout and its underlying cause and encourage them to speak with their healthcare provider about ways to manage it to help avoid painful flares. The campaign, which also includes a sweepstakes, invites people to learn more by making their own "Gout Pit Stop" at race tracks across the country, as well as virtually at the campaign website, GoutPitStop.com.
"Men in particular can be reluctant to seek health information, and research shows that people really don't want to talk about gout. Not only does 'Gout Pit Stop' provide a forum that is uniquely appealing to this group, but it also sheds light on the underlying cause of gout–high uric acid levels–to help remove the stigma that surrounds the disease," says Men's Health Network Advisor Theodore Fields, M.D., FACP, Director, Rheumatology Faculty Practice Plan, Hospital for Special Surgery, a leading center for rheumatology. Dr. Fields is also Professor of Clinical Medicine, Weill College of Medicine of Cornell University. "This program encourages those who are or might be affected to think about gout in a new way."
Gout patients and their friends and family can enter a sweepstakes for a chance to win a Richard Petty Driving Experience* (RPDE), where they will have the chance to ride in a race car on a track. For every person who enters, Takeda will make a $1 donation to Men's Health Network up to $25,000.
Pit crew chiefs Todd Berrier and Kevin "Bono" Manion are setting aside their friendly rivalry to team up and share their personal experiences with gout and how it has affected their lives on and off the track. As part of "Gout Pit Stop," Todd and Kevin will share their stories through national and local media, personal appearances at select speedways, and on the campaign website.
"My driver counts on me and my pit crew to stay in the race," says Todd. "It's really the same with my gout–I work with my doctor so I can stay in the driver's seat when it comes to gout and my health."
Racing fans will have a chance to experience "Gout Pit Stop" firsthand at a special midway destination featuring fun and engaging ways to learn about gout including a prize wheel, trivia game, sweepstakes entry kiosks and special appearances by Todd and Kevin, who will share their personal gout stories and how it affects their lives in the fast lane. Race weekends can take their toll on a fan's body – the walking, food, high temperatures – and the "Gout Pit Stop" will help provide relief from the elements of a fan race experience.
The "Gout Pit Stop" experience will be offered at the following race weekends:
- Daytona
- Atlanta
- Chicago
- Charlotte
- Texas
"I've been affected by gout for 10 years and always thought it was caused by diet or lifestyle choices," says Kevin. "I wanted to get involved in this campaign to help inform people like me that gout has an underlying cause, and that they shouldn't blame themselves or feel ashamed to admit they have it."
"At Takeda, we are committed to helping patients understand gout and its underlying cause, which is hyperuricemia–or high levels of uric acid in the blood. Long-term management of uric acid levels is key," says Robert Spanheimer, M.D., vice president of medical and scientific affairs at Takeda. "Together with Men's Health Network, we developed 'Gout Pit Stop' to help shed some light on this painful condition that often lives in the shadows so we can make a difference in the lives of those who are affected by gout."
Visit GoutPitStop.com for tips, resources and a chance to win an exciting driving experience!*
About Gout
Gout is a chronic, metabolic disease affecting approximately 8.3 million Americans and is the most common form of inflammatory arthritis in men. The underlying cause of gout is hyperuricemia, a condition characterized by elevated levels of uric acid in the blood.
Gout can attack silently even between flares. A gout attack, or "flare," occurs when excess uric acid in the blood begins to form crystals, triggering an inflammatory response in the joints or soft tissue causing extreme discomfort. Crystals may continuously form and build up in the joints, possibly leading to joint destruction over time.
While gout can affect several different joints, including elbows, knees and wrists, patients most commonly experience attacks in the big toe. The pain of a gout attack may interfere with everyday activities, including work and family events.
In addition to recommended diet and lifestyle changes, experts recognize that it is important to achieve and maintain a healthy uric acid level in the blood of less than 6.0 mg/dL.
About Men's Health Network
MHN is a national non-profit organization whose mission is to reach men and their families where they live, work, play, and pray with health prevention messages and tools, screening programs, educational materials, advocacy opportunities and patient navigation. With a network of chapters, affiliates, and health partners, MHN has a presence in every U.S. state and more than 30 countries. We strive to achieve the following goals:
- To save men's lives by reducing the premature mortality of men and boys.
- To improve the physical and mental health of men so that they can live fuller and happier lives.
- Work with/through women as the family's health care leader to reach men with critical health messages.

Colombia's Aires is seeking to lease four Bombardier Dash 8 Q400s from 2010 as part of the next phase of its rapid expansion.
CEO Francisco Mendez says Aires is looking for 70-seat turboprops to operate alongside its newly acquired Boeing 737-700s on domestic trunk routes and to open thin short-haul international routes. Aires now operates a 737-700 fleet consisting of five aircraft that will grow to nine by year-end and a Dash 8 fleet consisting mainly of 37-seat Q200s that are used on regional routes.
Mendez says Aires' business plan envisions operating three aircraft types - 37-seat Dash 8 Q200s, 70-seat Dash 8 Q400s and 149-seat 737-700s. He says the business plan calls for initially operating a fleet of four Q400s and Aires is now talking to potential lessors.
"We're still trying to source them," Mendez says. "Some aircraft are available but it's difficult because of financing."
He says Aires is not interested in ordering new Q400s and is looking for relatively new aircraft which were manufactured in about 2007. Last November Mendez said Aires was planning to lease four ex-SAS Q400s from 2009 but that deal was never concluded and Mendez now says Aires prefers newer aircraft.
Mendez says Aires believes the Q400 is the perfect aircraft to operate some of the frequencies on the domestic trunk routes it has launched since placing its first 737-700 into service early this year.
Aires now competes on domestic trunk routes against Avianca and Aero Republica. Avianca serves these routes with a mix of Boeing MD-80s, Airbus A319/A320s and Fokker 100s with the smaller Fokker 100s typically operating off peak frequencies. Aero Republica is in the final stages of transitioning to an all-Embraer E-190 fleet.
Mendez claims the Q400 will give Aires a cost advantage over the Fokker 100 and E-190. He says Aires already has a cost advantage over its competitors with its 737-700s but the Q400 is better suited for certain frequencies, in particular off peak flights.
Mendez says Aires also plans to use Q400s to open new short-haul international routes to the Caribbean. Aires now uses the Q200 on flights to Aruba and Curacao and is looking to open several new Caribbean markets including Cuba and Jamaica. The new Caribbean flights will be operated with some of the four 737-700s to be added this year as well as the newly acquired Q400s.
As reported by ATI in June, Aires is also now in the process of transitioning its existing 15-aircraft Dash 8 fleet to focus on the -200 model. Aires previously operated a mix of -100s, -200s and -300s but Mendez says its last -100 was replaced with a -200 last month and its only remaining -300 will be replaced later this month with another -200.
Mendez says Aires decided three years ago the -50-seater was too big for its regional routes and began the process of swapping its 50-seaters for -37-seaters. This process will finally be completed at the end of this month. Aires, which leases all of its aircraft, coordinated the swaps with various lessors.
The new Q400 fleet along with the four additional 737-700s that Aires plans to add over the next four months will allow Aires to continue expanding at a fast rate. In June Aires carried 122,000 domestic passengers, a 70% increase compared to June 2008. According to Colombian CAA data this gave Aires a 16% share of the Colombian domestic market, making it the second largest carrier after Avianca and just ahead of Aero Republica.
Mendez says Aires' domestic traffic reached about 160,000 passengers in July and is expected to reach 180,000 passengers in August, which will give it "close to 20% of the market". He says the carrier's load factor this month is averaging "close to 78%", up from 71% in June and about 60% in 2008.
The expansion also has driven rapid growth in Aires' revenues from $120 million last year to a projected $220-$230 million this year. Mendez expects revenues of almost $300 million in 2010 and says the privately-owned carrier, which turned a net profit of $3.5 million last year, should turn a similar profit in 2009 despite the start-up costs associated with the new 737 fleet.

Film publicity seems to have dropped to an all time low with some publicists boiling down to use bizarre scenes for a film's publicity. In one of the most outrageous PR acts ever, the PR firm Cosmic Spider decided to promote a film they are handling, titled 'Pocket Gangsters' through offensive lewd videos.
They sent out mails whose subject read: Hot Rape Scene from 'Pocket Gangsters' and included the video link to the rape scene in the film. From leaked smooching scenes to a video titled 'hot Shivangi Mehra bathing scene', the PRs did not leave any stone unturned to catch attention.
Extremely provocative and below the belt, this incident is a testament of the cheap stakes that some PRs have started to follow and the cheap publicity that many have warranted for their clients.
The film, which has a rape scene between the lead actress Shivangi and Vijay Raaz, might not encourage rape but such a marketing strategy definitely has raised a question on the publicist's intentions. And moreover, how could the producers even allow the PRs to do such a cheap stunt, is what has left us shocked.
Disgusting and distasteful, this incident definitely shows how publicists are making use of the social network platforms to capture attention and that too by such cheap gimmicks! Sad, but true!

When it comes to divestment, the anti-apartheid struggle is always cited as an influence. Here's how South Africans are starting to apply those same lessons to addressing climate change.
Rick Williams asked for calm when protesters demanded justice for his brother, who was shot and killed by a Seattle police officer. But he realizes that "the only way you can help change the system is show them you are a human being."
When a group of volunteers walked the streets of Chicago's east side, they learned that gun violence was not the only problem plaguing their neighborhood.
Two veterans trekked across America to leave behind the trauma of war and raise money for fellow vets. Now they want to offer the same healing experience to others like them.
Hong Kong's "Occupy Central" movement is neither revolutionary nor subversive: It's a basic demand for a more responsive and accountable government.
When he was a kid, slam poet and teacher Clint Smith once gave up speaking for Lent. He found that his silence allowed some of his classmates to be bullied—and that he must use his voice to speak up for truth and justice.
The poverty rate in the U.S. would be 15 percent higher if not for the War on Poverty and government anti-poverty programs since 1967.
"Before I was on SNAP, I budgeted $50 a week for all groceries for my two children and myself. This was for food, shampoo, toilet paper, everything."
In the evolving global economy, migrants facing virtual indentured servitude abroad—and coming home to debt and social isolation—feels like the new normal.
"We need to expand the civil-rights struggle to a higher level—to the level of human rights."
These projects show how everyday people can address violence in our own communities by break through the silence to interrupt abuse.
The Nonviolence Handbook teaches that when we exhibit patience and refrain from criticizing others harshly, we're building nonviolent potential.

Winning titles on three different surfaces in 2010 is a tribute to Sam Querrey's athletic versatility. Read the fine print between those headlines, however, and what comes through is resiliency.
In one of the season's more remarkable bounce-backs, Querrey capered through the draw at Queen's Club to win his first-ever grass-court championship. The traditional Wimbledon tuneup was Querrey's first event since he nose-dived in the first round of the French Open and, in brutally frank postmatch comments, told reporters he felt "mentally out of it," unable to take points by the throat, and couldn't wait to leave Paris.
It's easy to forget that Querrey is still only 22 years old. There are days and weeks at a time now where he competes like a mature professional capable of beating anyone on any court in the world, and days now and then where he looks like a listing, transplanted palm tree in desperate need of the soil and sun of his native Southern California.
Querrey went home and didn't touch a racket or work out at all for a week. He hung out with friends and family, went to the beach and took in a couple of Lakers games. Refreshed, he attacked grass-court practice without terribly high expectations -- he was 11-10 lifetime on the surface coming into Queen's -- and dropped only one set en route to the title. He'll come into Wimbledon as the 18th seed, with real hopes of sticking around for the second week at a tournament where he hasn't been past the second round in three previous tries.
It's also easy to forget that Querrey is just nine months removed from a freakish accident that cost him the end of last season and could have cost him his career. His coach, David Nainkin, certainly hasn't forgotten the September day in Bangkok when Querrey sat down on a glass table in the locker room only to have it shatter and severely gash his right arm, just missing a crucial nerve.
From the moment he was able to hit again, Querrey really never stopped, pushing all the way through the nominal offseason to be ready for Australia, where he didn't fare well, and a tough Davis Cup first round in Serbia. His hard work began to pay off in February with a title on hard court in Memphis over his good friend and doubles partner John Isner.
Querrey then embarked on his longest-ever sojourn in Europe and was rewarded with a title on clay in Belgrade -- again topping Isner -- and an appearance in the doubles final in Rome. By the time he arrived in Paris, "What you had was a young man who was tired -- mentally and physically exhausted," Nainkin said.
Nainkin gave Querrey the option of not playing Queen's, but the two decided it would be best for him to get a couple of grass-court matches under his belt before Wimbledon. It turned out to be a prescient choice.
Grass felt as slick and treacherous as ice for Querrey when he first turned pro. "I never thought I'd be able to win a match on it," he told reporters this week. The surface was kind to his big serve and forehand, but like many tall players, the 6-foot-6 Querrey found the more precise footwork tricky and the low bounce hard to handle.
Querrey has been working with U.S. Tennis Association strength and conditioning coaches (primarily Rodney Marshall, who is based in Carson, Calif., near Querrey's home) for the past year, and his improved overall fitness has helped him gain quickness and the flexibility required to keep his center of gravity lower, Nainkin said.
"He's more comfortable with the movement now, he's taking the ball earlier, flattening his shots out and following them into the net more," Nainkin said. Querrey said he's trying to be more aggressive on his second serves, which resulted in a few more double faults in Queen's but is still the smart play for his power game.
Querrey's amiable, wise-cracking exterior off the court can be deceiving. "I don't think anyone can be as good as he is at his age and be laid-back," Nainkin said. When Querrey struggles with composure these days, it's usually because he's not meeting his own sterner standards, a symptom of the fact he has more competitive hunger than ever. He pronounced himself "happy and pleased" that he "stayed level-headed the whole week" in Queen's, but he's also brimming with unconcealed ambition to translate his recent success to better results in the Masters Series and Grand Slam events that will boost his ranking faster. He's currently at a career-high No. 21.
"You have to play your best tennis in those events, which I haven't so far," said Querrey, whose best showing in a major is a round of 16 appearance in the 2008 U.S. Open. It would be something if that concept finally took root on the lawns of SW19.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads

Tablet Plus
The Bryant Park Hotel
40 West 40th Street, New York City, NY, USA
Neighborhood: Manhattan - Midtown West
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
The American Radiator building is a strange and imposing landmark, a black-and-gold gothic skyscraper, towering above Bryant Park like something out of a comic book. How pleasantly surprising, then, to find that it houses a boutique hotel that is as sober and restrained as many of its competitors are loud and garish.
Restrained doesn't mean boring—just that the Bryant Park hotel eschews the kind of flashy showmanship that has become all too familiar in the boutique hotel world. The lobby, though decked out in rather unconventional black terra cotta and red leather, feels as serious as the building's facade, without too-clever furniture or whimsical sculptural statements, and the Cellar Bar is true to its roots as well, with vaulted ceilings and tilework reminiscent of nothing so much as a restored subway station.
All the architectural sobriety doesn't seem to be cramping the clientele's style, especially during fashion week, which turns the park into an exhibition hall and momentarily makes the Bryant Park Hotel the most desirable address in New York.
As for the accommodations, a complete renovation from the American Radiator days apparently meant the death of many an interior wall—the rooms today are spacious, especially for a midtown hotel, and boast loft-style hardwood floors. Views tend toward the extraordinary, looking over Bryant Park, and some rooms come with private terraces, not at all New York standard. Expect lush goose-down duvets and rich linens, and massive tubs and sinks in the travertine bathrooms.
The cachet-meter has risen another notch or two with the opening of the New York outpost of LA's painfully hip KOI sushi restaurant. Yet another reason for Bryant Park regulars to stop worrying about Soho and learn to love midtown.

Reception staff was not very helpful. I arrived before check-in time and although the reception staff were around and not very busy they would not help with storing my luggage. They said to me the porter would assist me, but the porter was busy and I had to wait 30 minutes just to leave my luggage. All this while the reception staff was 5 meters away. Unacceptable.

Formula: CuCO3
Alternate Names: Synthetic Malachite, CuCO3
|Enter the formula and formula weight directly into the Insight MDT dialog (since it records materials as formulas).
Enter the analysis into an Insight recipe and enter the LOI using Override Calculated LOI (in the Calc menu). It will calculate the formula.
|DENS - Density (Specific Gravity)
|GSPT - Softening Point
|See accompanying curve image
Conceptually, copper carbonate is CuCO3, however this form is not normally available in the market (copper carbonate basic is the article of commerce) so the powder should be viewed as a family of compounds.
This material is considered volatile during firing and thus can affect the color of other pieces in the firing. See Copper Carbonate Basic for more information.
Cobalt carbonate (top) and copper carbonate (bottom). Left is the raw powder plastic-formed into a sample (with 2% veegum). Right: fired to 1850F. The CuCO3 is quickly densifying over the past 100 degrees and should begin to melt soon. It is long past the fuming stage.
These are pure samples (with 2% binder added) of (top left to bottom right) strontium carbonate, nepheline syenite, cobalt carbonate, manganese dioxide, bentonite (in bowl), 6 Tile kaolin, New Zealand kaolin and copper carbonate. I am firing them at 50F increments from 1500F and weighing to calculate loss on ignition for each. I want to find out at what temperature they are gassing (and potentially bubble-disrupting the glaze they are in or under). Notice how the copper is fuming and spitting black specks on the shelf, this happens right around 1500F. These stains on the shelf darkened considerably when the kiln was fired higher.
And example of how copper carbonate fumes during firing. The white sample on the left was near the copper sample, at around 1500F the fumes discolored its facing edge. These are permanent, they do not fire out but get darker with increasing temperature (this is 1950F). The kiln shelf was also discolored outward about half an inch from the copper specimen.

PREP BOYS BASKETBALL: 2012-2013 season outlook
3. Elsinore has company on the other side of town.
Ross Wolter, son of Elsinore co-coach Rick Wolter, has quietly been building a respectable program at Lakeside in the mold of his father's program, which he once played for. Last year, the Lancers went 20-10 and lost to eventual champion Calabasas in the third round of the Division IIIA playoffs.
This year, the Lancers are primed for another run as they bring back three senior starters. Point guard Daymarcco Green spearheads an athletic group of ball handlers that can drive the ball to the basket. Coming off the bench, sophomore guard Justin Hall has dazzled observers with his ability to get past defenders, earning him the nickname "The Future."
"He's a sleeper," Green said. "Nobody knows about him. He's probably one of the best sophomores in this Valley."
Dakota Wilson supplements the team's athleticism in the backcourt as the grinder in the paint.
4. Linfield Christian plays with heavy hearts.
Linfield Christian has turned into the sentimental rooting interest around the Valley after the team dealt with tragic circumstances just before the start of the season.
Sophomore guard Dylan Weinmann unexpectedly died in his sleep Nov. 17. Weinmann was an integral part of the Lions, earning first-team all-Ambassador League honors as a freshman.
The Lions have received an outpouring of support from the community and the tragedy has molded them into a tighter group.
"It basically brought us back together," sophomore guard Torin Webb said. "We were pretty distant as a team until that happened."
Linfield Christian has gotten off to a 2-6 start playing a challenging tournament schedule against institutions of much larger enrollment. They hold wins versus Moreno Valley and Temescal Canyon.
The Lions figure to be a contender again in the Ambassador League, where they finished third (9-5) last year.
"Certainly, I think on the basketball court, it's their spot to relax and just do what they enjoy," Linfield coach Shawn Stroud said.
5. Section title within Cal Lutheran's reach.
Cal Lutheran had a dream season in 2011-12, as it finished with a perfect Arrowhead League record (10-0) and reached the Division VI championship game. The C-Hawks also advanced to the quarterfinals of the Division V state playoffs.
This year, the C-Hawks are primed for another deep run as they welcome back two key pieces from that team in center Ryan Smith and league MVP Robert Riesenberg.
The 6-foot-10, 225-pound Smith is a dominant presence who has a Wilt Chamberlain-type effect in the smaller scale Ambassador League
"Once we lost in the state quarterfinals, he was in the gym the very next day," Cal Lutheran coach Dave Peter said.
Listed at 5-foot-9, 140 pounds, Riesenberg is not quite the specimen that Smith is, but he is a high-percentage, 3-point shooter that led the C-Hawks in points per game (14.4).
"He is one of those defenders that is going to pick your pocket if you are not paying attention," Peter said.

South Africa: Siemens starts work on 100 MW of PV22. February 2013 | Applications & Installations, Industry & Suppliers | By: Becky Beetz
Siemens has begun work on two 50 MW photovoltaic projects in South Africa for Globeleq Generation Limited. They are scheduled to be operational by mid-2014.
The two projects were awarded to Globeleq – the majority shareholder in a consortium comprised of Mainstream Renewable Power, Thebe Investment Corporation, engineering firms Enzani Technologies and Usizo Engineering and local community trusts – under South Africa's Renewable Energy IPP Procurement Program.
Siemens will construct the De Aar farm in Emthanjeni, and the Droogfontein farm near Kimberley, under a lump-sum turnkey EPC contract. Suntech, meanwhile, will deliver the necessary photovoltaic modules. The 100 MWs are expected to be online by mid-2014.
Overall, the consortium will invest €500 million in the two projects. Funding has been received from a syndicate of lenders led by Absa bank and Barclays.

Ocimum tenuiflorum (holy basil)
Ocimum tenuiflorum (Photo: GourangaUK)
Species information
holy basil
Least Concern
Food, medicinal.
Applications to the skin can cause reactions in sensitive people.
About this species
Ocimum tenuiflorum is closely related to culinary basil (Ocimum basilicum), but differs in being a short-lived perennial with smaller flowers. Commonly known as holy basil or tulsi and tulasi in South Asia, it is an important sacred plant in Hinduism and, as with many plant species used in Asia, the religious uses are often linked with the medicinal uses. Historically, holy basil was frequently grown in large vessels in the courtyards of Hindu forts and temples to cleanse the body. One of the plant's synonyms, Ocimum sanctum, reflects this religious connection.
Discover more
Geography and distribution
Native to tropical and subtropical Asia, and cultivated and naturalised in other tropical areas.
Holy basil is an aromatic, perennial herb up to 1 m tall, sometimes purplish in colour. The leaves are elliptic (narrow oval) in shape. The fruits have four small brown nutlets, which, unlike basil, do not produce a lot of mucilage when wet.
Regarded as sacred in Hinduism, Ocimum tenuiflorum has many traditional medicinal uses. A mixture of leaves and seeds, with black pepper (Piper nigrum) is given to pregnant women suffering from malaria. Fresh flowers are used to treat coughs and colds. The plant has shown promise in clinical trials in alleviating hepatic dysfunction, and is an ingredient of pills and ointment to cure eczema. The essential oil from some populations of holy basil contains high levels of eugenol. In traditional Thai medicine, the leaf or whole plant is used to alleviate nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and flatulence. Alcohol extracts from the plant heal peptic ulcers.
The leaf extract is effective in checking the spread of the fungal pathogens Pyricularia oryzae and Rhizoctonia solani, which cause blast disease and sheath blight disease of rice. Antibacterial activity and deterrent against the larvae of root knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) have been reported, and the oil is a mosquito repellent.
Ocimum tenuiflorum is used as a major flavouring ingredient in Thai cuisine. Because it is regarded as sacred in Hinduism, it is used to make rosaries - the woody stems are used to make the beads.

I'm sure lots of you here are more experienced than me in these things and could save me hours of comparing feature lists so…
I'm looking for an easy-to-use (from the admin's point of view) eCommerce platform to sell digital goods. Since there will be no physical products for sale, I need something that won't, for example, insist on asking every customer for their address. Paypal payments are a must, any other options on top of that are just a bonus. I'd also like the site to have a "downloads area" where customers can go back and redownload their bought files, if possible.
I Googled around a bit and saw lots of people recommending Prestashop, but then it seems from their support forum that many people aren't happy with how that handles downloads so perhaps something else would be more suitable.
I'm no stranger to hacking and tweaking but just looking for the best platform to start from really, any recommendations of where to start looking will be very much appreciated
Have you given BigCommerce.com a look? It has Sage Integration and can easily be setup to sell digital products (downloads).
Has a free 15 day trial to see if you like it. We find it's amazing and are really happy with it.Im a nobody.. nobodys perfect.. therefore IM PERFECT !!!
Almost every e-commerce solution have the ability to sell downloadable content – Magento, OpenCart, PrestaShop etc.
However, for a simple store like this I think Magento is too heavy.
Probably OpenCart would be the best solution, however, I am not sure you can disable the address part of the checkout process.
It is possible, but some customization would be required.
Also, there are third-party modules available for a "quick checkout" in the extensions sections for all of them (Magento, OpenCart, PrestaShop).
Frankly speaking, saving those few hours for comparing isn't a good approach.
Every system have their pros and cons and one is better than the others for one type of store and the other is better than the first one for other needs.
Koev said
Frankly speaking, saving those few hours for comparing isn't a good approach.
Don't worry I won't be blindly using the first thing that gets mentioned
It was more that people might suggest things I'd not heard of, or know that one of the popular ones was no good for this type of thing, or whatever. Can't hurt to ask anyway, thanks for the suggestions guys

Now with some, explanations do help ease the "misunderstanding". Some though just can't accept the truth, that they don't know half as much as they think they do.
These types have enough knowledge that they can beat new PvPers easily, but not enough to deal with PvP addicts, generally relying on gimmicks such as FAWescorts or P2W consoles. They also tend to have anger management issues, be the rudest and those most likely to smack talk and insult other players.
At least you're being accused with a given reason, i get accusations without any elaboration lol :p

"Small card with soft colors—perfect. Text easy to customize and to place. Wanted an 'I Wish for You...' Card for baby shower, and this fit the bill perfectly."
"This card is very nice quality and printed/shipped to me very quickly. The only thing that would have made this better would be if I were able to pick the hair and/or eye color of the girl so it can be a bit more customized. I understand that would add to the production time however."
"I thought it was so intuitive putting this together and it came out so beautifully - better than I was expecting. The paper is very thick and the colors are pale (maybe a bit lighter than I was expecting). I made these as a thank you letter for my toddler daughter for when she gets presents from friends/ family so she can send out her own Thank You cards and her picture is on the back for family that don't see her too often. Can't wait to get these again next year when she gets a bit bigger and we can pick out another design."
"Great card for boy/girl twins! Love the bright colors and the polka dots on the back of the card. A little smaller size than I expected, but still a fun card."
"I ordered these cards for my brand new granddaughter and her Mommie loves them and looks forward to writing short and sweet notes for all the treasures she is receiving from family and friends."
