We serve a global market of oil and gas, chemical, petrochemical, and power industries through a network of independent sales representatives. Our products are suitable for a broad range of safety systems, control processes, and related applications.
Power Generation
Coal-Fired Steam Power Plant
Every coal-fired power generating plant is unique. Each has varying instrumentation needs based on the equipment used, regional regulations, fuel and other factors. Modern facilities employ many pumps, fans, valves and other devices that require control or monitoring. This schematic depicts typical instrumentation normally found at major locations within a standard coal-fired power plant.
Oil and Gas
Oil Patch – Satellite Processing – Gas Patch
Upstream oil and gas-field operations, including satellite processing stations typically employ a standard array of instrumentation. This schematic identifies many of the common locations where control or monitoring may be needed and briefly describes several applications to consider when choosing process instrumentation.
Production and Delivery
Cement plants typically require level measurement and pressure control devices from the quarry to the processing plant to the bagging and shipping operations. This schematic illustrated where this type of instrumentation is generally located and briefly outlines several applications within the process.
Water treatment plants require process instruments to monitor specific operations, protect equipment and measure levels from the quarry to the household tap. This schematic identifies several locations and applications found in a standard design, 16 million gal/day capacity, municipal water treatment plant serving a population of 55,000.
SOR® leak-proof instrument tube, pipe and weld fittings meet the most exacting requirements of any system, including process pressures, chemical, power, automation, vacuum and instrumentation applications.
Instrument hand valves are great for instrument isolation duties, providing bubble-tight shutoff, with metal or soft seats for gas, vapor, or liquid applications. Gauge valves include multiport and block-and-bleed styles for gauge isolation, calibration, and venting.

TemperatureSOR® Temperature Switches utilize a vapor-pressure thermal system. Fluid vapor pressure changes predictably according to the influence of temperature on the sensing bulb. Process temperature changes cause proportional vapor pressure changes in the temperature sensing bulb that act on the diaphragm/ piston assembly to actuate and de-actuate a snap-action electrical switching element at discrete process temperatures. More specific application requirements can be met by selecting optional components, such as housings and electrical switching elements.

The Dish: Cocktail calories count, even over the holiday
On New Year's Eve, counting down to midnight is more important than counting calories. But if you do want a head start on living well in 2011, here is a look at the calories sloshing in some favourite drinks.

In just a few hours, it will be time to make those New Year resolutions stick.
Until then, many of us will be enjoying the last blast of 2010 by overindulging at a friend's boozy blowout, where counting down to midnight is more important than counting calories.
But for those who want to get a head start on living well in 2011, here is a peek at the calories sloshing around in three standard drinks.
None of these by itself is offensively high in calories. But imbibing three or four or five could do some dietary damage.
Keep in mind, too, that some individual cocktails can be calorific. Especially if your bartender favours supersize glasses.
A 200 mL whisky sour, for example, has about 315 calories. While a 250 mL creamy piña colada has about 460. Even tonic water, which sounds as innocuous as club soda, has more calories than you would expect; One can has about 125 calories, the same amount generally found in a can of ginger ale.
Nutrition experts say a good way to maintain some moderation — both calorie-wise and alcohol-wise — during New Year's festivities, is to alternate cocktails with mocktails. Drinking a tall glass of water or sparkling water after every alcoholic drink will definitely save you calories.
The strategy also has another beneficial side-effect: it will help temper that Jan. 1 hangover.

Raised beds dry out to quickly!
I'm on my second year of raised beds with clay type soil. What I've learned is this.
YOU BETTER NOT MISS A DAY OF WATERING!!! My plants in the regular garden don't dry out in the summer nearly as fast as the beds do. AND having clay like soil of course doesn't help. I HAVE to mulch or my soil turns rock like in a day or so of hot temps.
If I had it to do all over again I'm not sure I'd make so many raised beds. They aren't doing quite as well as the regular garden. I should have just worked on getting the garden more nutrients and hummus. I have 10 beds (4 x 24) and my other garden is 100 x 50. I call the large garden my "canning" garden (for production) and the raised beds my "kitchen garden" (what we use to cook with for daily meals).
BEFORE anyone flames me.........I LOVE raised beds in general and think they are great for many situations. Just seems that for me....well, I'm wondering if I did the right thing. I've got lots of land for gardens and I wish I hadn't made so many raised beds. They seem more labor intensive to me. Water........water...........water. Yes, a drip irrigation system is the way to go and I will be adding it soon, but in the meanwhile.

Re: Raised beds dry out to quickly!
When I moved to New Mexico, I put in four raised beds. In this arid climate, they do dry out way too fast. I experimented with growing in the ground and had much better success. I dismantled two of the raised beds and fenced in three garden plots. I am much happier with my plots. I find the plots easier to work, even though I am on the high side of middle age and have a bad back.
Boycott Land O Lakes products because they lobby for GM alfalfa. Boycott Monsanto, Bayer, Syngenta, BASF, Dow, DuPont, Scotts. Scotts is the sole licensed U.S. distributor of Monsanto's RoundUp. MiracleGro is owned by Scotts.

Re: Raised beds dry out to quickly!
That's exactly why I dont use raised beds. Its a nice concept however if you miss a day or 2 of watering in this intense heat the plants are toast

Re: Raised beds dry out to quickly!
I like that Lorna- high side of middle age! We still gotta do that road trip girlfriend!! I had raised beds in that #$%@^% hole they call S.Calif, and I didn't like them either- I got more garden space and produce from just growing in the ground, and it's more of a hassle to water raised beds

Re: Raised beds dry out to quickly!
Well, I live in NC. I have 500 square ft in ground and 200 ft of raised beds. I have no problem with watering. I have mulched the entire space and I water whenever anything gets dry below 1 inch deep. I water about once a week. I water with a sprinkler so I can measure the amount with my rain guage. I give them a little over 1 inch/week.
I think the problem most people have with raised beds drying out, is soil composition. What ammendments have been done to HOLD water. We always think about drainage, but the growing medium, organic or not, must have the capacity to hold water.
I use 1/3 compost, 1/3 topsoil, and 1/3 peat moss, plus a little perlite or vermiculite for drainage. The peat moss soaks up water and releases it when needed. I have not seen a problem, yet.
I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the US Congress.

Re: Raised beds dry out to quickly!
The reclaimed garden that I am working with this year had a few raised beds, but the frames were rotting. I tore the ones out that were beyond repair, which left one.
I find it difficult to rototill even with my Mantis and yes, now that you all mention the dryness factor, I must agree!! I mulched it a bit with grass clippings to hold the moisture; it was cracking so. I think I need to do a lot more mulching before the season is over.
Next year, I don't think I will bother with it either. I'll tear down the framework and use the lumber elsewhere in the yard.

Re: Raised beds dry out to quickly!
Yep.. that is a problem with raised beds.. seems no matter what type of soil. Course pure compost would stay moist longest.. but even then raised beds dry out way too fast for me. I don't like watering my plants at all... it's too time consuming.
And what do you have against clay anyways.. i have pure solid modeling clay in my garden and i love it. The plants love it too. If you ever need any advice on how to grow in clay i'll be glad to help out. I've been growing in clay for oh bout 20 years now.. before that i used to grow on top of the clay for at least another 20.. and beleive me.. inside the clay is better than on top of the clay even if you do use pure compost on top of it 18 inches thick.

Re: Raised beds dry out to quickly!
I have 3 4x4 raised beds in southern California, that I just started. My soil does dry out pretty fast, I have been watering them every day about once or twice a day. I think having a effective drip or sprinkler system that runs on and off all day would be the best solution with a nice thick layer of mulch.

Re: Raised beds dry out to quickly!
Tiny, I agree, more hummus would help.
Lorna, I can't imagine an area like yours with raised beds!
AmericanG. I've read a lot of your posts and your clay is a lot more clayish than my clay (i think)
but I appreciate and read everything you write about it.
It seems they (raised beds) are definately more advantageous in certain climates and situations than others. I just feel so bad. My Hubs worked soooo hard on building them for me. I haven't told him yet that I don't like them anymore!
I have noticed that the west and south sides (of course) get REALLY dried out.
The answer of course is drip lines but too costly for some.
My brother in Minnesota couldn't garden without raised beds I think. He's on pure sand and he needs the soil to warm up quicker than it normally would. Again, not against them, just don't work for me..........

Bad spark plugs or an ignition coil can cause ignition misfire, which will illuminate the Check Engine Light.
2000 Mercury Grand Marquis Problem Reports
Newest 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis Problem Reports
One or more oxygen sensors may fail resulting in illumination of the Check Engine Light.
A spring in the seat belt buckle may wear or fail, causing the airbag light on the instrument panel to illuminate. Failed buckles will require replacement.
The EGR valve position (EVP) sensor can fail on this vehicle. The EVP sensor measures the EGR valve position and transmits the date to the engine control computer. If it fails, drivability and fuel economy can suffer, the Check Engine Light will commonly illuminate.
The composite (plastic) intake manifold may crack near the thermostat housing and cause a coolant leak. Ford released an updated manifold that was reinforced to prevent a recurrence. No recall was issued for this problem but Ford did extend the warranty to seven years on some models from the date of purchase.
The throttle position sensor (TPS) may fail. Common symptoms of a defective TPS can be rough idle, hard starting, hesitation on acceleration, poor fuel economy, and stalling.
If you experience difficulty starting the engine when cold, stalling at idle, or hesitations during acceleration, it may be the idle air bypass valve. This valve helps the vehicle idle steady when the accelerator pedal is not pressed.
An oil leak may develop from the the right side head gasket. Oil from this type of leak will commonly drip onto the starter. Our technician tell us an updated head gasket is available to correct this concern.
The battery light may illuminate on the instrument panel because the alternator wire harness connector is damaged. A new connector kit is available and should be installed to correct this concern.
The heater hose outlet may leak coolant at the back of the intake manifold. Sometimes this is misdiagnosed as a leaking intake manifold gasket because it resembles a leaking manifold.

Jackie Gingrich Cushman, daughter of former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich, will headline an upcoming meeting of the Conservative Republican Women of Henry County.
Cushman will speak during the group's April 15 meeting, at 11:30 a.m. The meeting will be held at the Merle Manders Conference Center, at 111 Davis Road in Stockbridge.
She will discuss her book, written with her father, entitled "5 Principles for a Successful Life: From Our Family to Yours." It was published in May 2009.
"He and I were talking one day," Cushman said. "My children's memory of my dad was that he was already the former speaker. They saw him on TV, and saw his speeches, but they didn't understand his journey.
"I wanted them to have a playbook, so they could be successful," Cushman added. "That's how it started."
An advocate of conservatism in government, Cushman campaigned for more than two decades with her father. Cushman said she supports the idea of individuals becoming actively involved in government.
Cushman and her husband, Jimmy Cushman, Jr., have two children, Maggie, 10, and Robert, 8.
Cushman said the book chronicles the success stories of her and her father, and includes advice under the headings of "dream big," "work hard," "learn every day," "enjoy life," and "be true to yourself."
"My main message is that optimism works," said Cushman. "If we are optimistic, persistent, and work hard, then we really create that great future for our country. We all have gifts to bring to the table, to help others."

By James Slater: Due to an injury suffered by White Buffalo Frans Botha, another veteran will step in to face unbeaten Italian southpaw Francesco Pianeta this Wednesday in Frankfurt, Germany: former WBC heavyweight king Oliver McCall.
The bout, set for ten-rounds, will see 27-year-old Pianeta, the former European Union champ, face arguably the toughest foe yet of his pro career. Heaven knows, 47-year-old McCall, 56-11(37) has had his share of troubles - both in the ring and out of it - yet his record of never having been stopped, or even decked, remains intact. Can the huge (65 approx 242-pound) Italian who is based in Deutschland become the first man to put a serious dent in The Atomic Bulls extraordinary chin?
Pianeta, held to a draw by Albert Sosnowski in 2009 but otherwise sporting a perfect pro record, is a fair puncher but far from a murderous one. McCall may not have fought since August of last year (a points win over the useful Damian Wills) and he may have won just two of his last four, but if hes in shape (if hes had time to train or if hes been in training waiting for an opportunity like the one he now has), McCall might score the upset. One things for sure, Pianeta will not have an easy time in there.
Wins over Scott Gammer, Matt Skelton, Mike Marrone and that draw with Sosnowski dont look too bad on Pianetas record, and a win over McCall would look nice also. It goes without saying how a KO win would look great. I cant see McCall getting stopped on Wednesday, however. Pianeta really needs to step up his quality of opposition, and after hes pounded out a hard nights work of a UD win over the man who once stopped the great Lennox Lewis, hopefully he will look for a fight with a top-10 or even a top-20 opponent.
McCall will likely earn his pay cheque as he usually does these days: by testing a young contender and giving him some serious work along the way; sometimes even handing him a loss - and there is always the chance McCall could score the upset in Germany. Would it really be a massive shock if McCall put a first loss on Pianetas record? Wednesdays fight could prove to be very interesting.

University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University officials concerned about doctor shortage in state
During the meeting, Boren and Clancy asked the board to consider budgeting $500,000 annually for the school. In years past, the board has appropriated funding for the school on a one-time basis.
Boren said he had already met with foundations interested in making donations for the school's endowment. Private donations will make up the largest portion of the funding for the school, Boren said, but donors typically want some sign of commitment from the state before making a donation. Adding an annual allocation of $500,000 to the state regents' funding formula would signal such a commitment, he said.
Ben Hardcastle, a spokesman for the state regents, said the board will vote on all funding decisions in May, after the state budget appropriation process is completed.
Like their counterparts at OU, officials at OSU are looking for ways to train doctors to go to underserved areas across the state. Howard Barnett, president of OSU-Tulsa and the OSU Center for Health Sciences, said the university hopes to establish a pipeline for placing doctors in rural Oklahoma.
That idea is in keeping with the center's main mission, he said — the center's College of Osteopathic Medicine was founded in 1972 with the express purpose of sending primary care doctors to rural and underserved parts of Oklahoma.
Reaching teens
That pipeline starts early, when the students are in high school, Barnett said. The center is trying to reach out to students at high schools in rural areas in the hope that some of those students might consider a career in medicine.
One of the challenges the school faces is that students who graduate from urban and suburban high schools are less likely to be interested in practicing medicine in rural areas, while bright students from rural areas who might otherwise consider medical school tend to be more interested in veterinary medicine, he said. That could be in part because there are fewer doctors in rural areas who might serve as mentors when the students are younger, he said.
"We need them to think about being a doctor, too," he said.
The school is also working with OSU's College of Agriculture and College of Arts and Sciences to create a kind of accelerated track for undergrads to start medical school. Students could get early acceptance to medical school after their sophomore year, provided they keep their grades up and perform well enough on the Medical College Admission Test, or MCAT, Barnett said, and they could begin taking courses in Tulsa as early as their junior year.
The college would also like to create programs at small, regional universities around the state, such as Southeastern Oklahoma State University in Durant, that would feed students into the college, Barnett said.
Rural doctoring
Once students are in medical school, he said, the college hopes to have them do as much of their work as possible in rural areas. It's important that they get an idea of what it means to be a doctor in rural Oklahoma, he said, which has a culture that is vastly different than that of urban areas like Oklahoma City and Tulsa.
"House calls still happen in rural Oklahoma," he said. "Patients drop by your house in rural Oklahoma."
Once the student is recruited, finished with undergraduate work and into medical school, Barnett said, the school faces yet another problem — there aren't as many residency positions in Oklahoma hospitals as there are students competing for them, so many Oklahoma medical students end up doing residencies in nearby states.
Because most doctors end up settling in towns near where they did their residencies, Barnett said, that means Oklahoma is training young doctors, only to send them to work in other states.
"We are already a donor state, if you will," he said.
This year, the college is increasing its class size from 96 students to 115. They hope to have their class size at 190 by 2016. The college is in the process of seeking funding from the Oklahoma Legislature for residency positions at hospitals in rural areas across the state. As class sizes at the university grow, it will become even more important to give those students the chance to complete their residencies and, ultimately, stay and practice medicine in Oklahoma.
"We don't want to graduate doctors just to go to other states," he said. "We want to graduate doctors to go to Oklahoma."

Turn up the volume: O-V burns the B's
|10.01.09 at 11:06 pm ET
The fact that Alex Ovechkin scored two goals in the Capitals' 4-1 win over the Bruins on Thursday night at TD Garden hardly comes as a shock.
The fact that the Bruins appeared to be outworked for most of the night in their own building, in the season opener and against one of their challengers for supremacy in the Eastern Conference should serve as a wake-up call right out of the 2009-10 gate.
The Bruins and Capitals both spoke after the season lid-lifter for both and here's what it sounded like.
Bruins head coach Claude Julien said his best players played at their worst.
Julien said they gave Ovechkin way too many chances.
Julien said the Bruins weren't focused for 60 minutes.
Tim Thomas said Ovechkin is so talented he gets lucky breaks.
Thomas said the Bruins were outworked.
Patrice Bergeron said the Bruins can't give talented teams like the Caps those breaks.
Alex Ovechkin said his Capitals played great.
Ovechkin said the Capitals wanted to be the Bruins in their building.
Brooks Laich, with two goals, loves playing on the PP with Ovechkin.
Laich said the Caps scouted the Bruins penalty kill very well.
Bruins powerless in 4-1 loss to the Capitals
|10.01.09 at 9:24 pm ET
Claude Julien said he before Thursday night's opener that his Bruins are going to have to 'grind out' their first few games this season, and that was readily apparent after watching a 4-1 loss to Alexander Ovechkin and the Capitals.
It wasn't a sterling defensive night by the Caps or a spectacular goaltending master class put on by Jose Theodore. Instead it was simply a sloppy first game of the NHL season for Boston with turnovers, unnecessary penalties and a rink-full of missed offensive opportunities.
"It was a night where we had too many good players at their worst," said Julien following the loss. "You have to be focused for 60 minutes in this game and we weren't. We had a lot of good players who weren't very good tonight."
Julien knew there would be some period of adjustment skating Marco Sturm on a top line with Marc Savard and Milan Lucic while the German forward shakes rust off, and throwing David Krejci out on the second line after missing the entire preseason could have ended up with some sloppy moments on the ice. But last year's Jack Adams Award winner certainly didn't know it was going to be this putrid. Following a pretty solid 10 minutes of Bruins-style pressure and poise with the puck in the first period, things devolved into an error-filled, disorganized, panicky performance with a bevy of neutral zone turnovers.
This was not last year's Bruins. Not by the longest shot in the history of long shots.
This was clearly a more slipshod brand of hockey than the B's coaching staff anticipated, and revealed Washington to be the better team at this point early in the NHL season. It can ' and likely will ' be different when the B's start clicking again on all cylinders later this month, but there wasn't much room for encouragement in the first 60 minutes of Bruins hockey.
You're the best around, and nothing will ever keep you down: Alexander Ovechkin showed exactly why he's the best thing on skates in the NHL with his mix of electric, breath-taking skill and bullish on-ice physicality. Ovie showed off his ice vision with a sweet cross-ice pass that set up the Caps' first power play goal, played the trailer and ripped a sizzling top-shelf sniper shot for Washington's second goal and then dumped Mark Recchi in the final seconds of the second period in a signature crunching hit.
He added another goal in the third period and finished a plus-two with five shots on net just for good measure. Ovie was all over the ice, and Claude Julien and the B's might want to sand-blast the drawing board the next time Boston plays the Czar of hockey and his linemates on Feb. 2.
Goat Horns: The entire offense was nothing to write home about after the first 10 minutes of the game. No one player ' aside from Patrice Bergeron's goal-scoring rush in the third period — was able to put finish on anything in the offensive zone. But the game's tone was set by Dennis Wideman's errant pass to the Boston bench that resulted in a 'too many men on the ice' penalty in the first period.
Washington's high-wattage PP unit hopped on the ice and did exactly what they do best: tic-tac passing followed by a Brooks Laich goal right at the right post. Wideman finished a minus-1 on the evening and had three of his shots blocked by a condensed Caps defense. Not a good night for the sometimes trick-or-treat blueliner.
Transcript: Claude Julien On Dale & Holley
|10.01.09 at 3:45 pm ET
Boston Bruins head coach Claude Julien joined Dale and Holley at noon to discuss the season opener, the loss of Phil Kessel and plans for the upcoming season. Check out the transcript below.
Click here for the full audio.
Will David Krejci play tonight against the Washington Capitals?
Yes he will. He feels really good and he is excited about getting back in the lineup. I like what I saw from him this morning so there is no reason to hold him back.
Did last year's deeper run into the playoffs help this team?
Well obviously, we are still hungry again. That is the one thing that we are and what's unfortunate is that we talk about a Game 7 and overtime loss and also realized what that one goal could have done had it gone our way, who knows how far it would have brought us. We hopefully learned from that and came back obviously hungry. Expectations are a little higher for our club this year because of what he accomplished last year. But, the challegene is still there, I think the hungriness of trying to better is still there and I think it is up to us to go out there and show it.
The team won the Jennings Trophy for fewest goals allowed last year on the strength of Tim Thomas and your defensive philosophy. Is the team buying into the defensive philosophy this year as well?
Well it has been hard to assess that. Based on our training camp we never were able to get our team together. We had three games in three nights which made us carry about 35 players. I think we will get a better view of that now that our team is together and that starts tonight. I know for a fact that the players like it and they are very comfortable with it. It really eliminates a lot of grey areas. They were really proud of us being able to allow the fewest goals last year. So, what is it called, it's the defense first approach. But the defense first approach means you do it well defensively, you recover the puck quicker and hopefully it results in a great offense, which it did last year for our hockey club.
Is it difficult to integrate new players, such as Derek Morris, into your system?
I wouldn't say it is difficult but it is still an adjustment. You know, because in hockey, maybe a lot of people don't see it, there is a very aggressive style of defense then there is a defense that tries that, I guess, keep teams to the outside. That's what we do, try to keep teams to the outside and we that if we do that our goaltender is good enough that he will stop those shots. So, basically, it is sometimes about being a little more patient than about being aggressive. That's what it has to be to adjust for a player like Derek Morris whose been used to playing a little bit more aggressive style. But, it is not a difficult one, but it is more of an adjustment.
We will see more defensemen getting in on the offensive act like we did last year? It seems to fit into the strengths of the defensemen this year.
Yeah it does and adding Derek Morris, who is probably a little bit more of an offensive defenseman if you compare him to Aaron Ward who was a stay at home defenseman who liked to block shots. Derek is a great puck moving defenseman who we will see on the power play as well. That will be one of it. The other part that we want to do better is our forechecks, sustaining it in the offensive zone and not retreating as quickly as we did last year and I think that's what we got to do here is be a little bit more aggressive and stay on top of the puck more in the offensive zone and hopefully that will create a little bit or scoring chances for us as well.
Did you start to plan with life without Phil Kessel even before the trade was official, based on the information you had at the time?
Well I did and I will tell you why I did though, probably not for the reasons that you are talking about. We knew that if Phil Kessel had been here, he wasn't going to be available to us till November. Even though David Krejci was ahead of the curve, Kessel wasn't. He was basically a guy that was going to be ready when he was told he was going to be ready. So, we would have had to start without him for at least a month, maybe more. So, this was something that I had already planned on, preparing with our team without Phil Kessel in it.
Reading between the lines last year it seemed like there was tension with Kessel. Is that new to you, dealing with something like that in your career?
You would deal with that through your whole career. Players you have to convince to do stuff like that. But you know guys, it has maybe been blown out of proportion a little bit because it really wasn't that big of an issue. I don't think Phil and I butted heads last year. But then again, how could you when a guy is scoring 36 goals. I think he couldn't have been happier, he went from 19 to 36. I think if there was a little bit of head butting it would have been the year before and the year before Phil was in a learning curve and we really wanted to mold him into a great player. I guess we had to earn his trust and really understand that we were trying to help him and not trying to punish him. And when he understood that concept I think that last year was much better and it has played out that way in the media and that is fine with me but I don't think there were any issues with Phil. I don't even remember bringing him into my office and having to read him the riot act, if that is what people are expecting to hear. But, he had a great season and he was a great player for us but unfortunately, like you said, he was one player we couldn't afford anymore or he didn't want to be here either and that was the front office's decision and that is one I respect.
What are the strengths of David Krejci's game and what is his upside?
David Krejci has got a lot of upside and part of that is he is a great playmaker. You know, we talked about Marc Savard being able to make some of those great plays well, David Krejci is in that area as well. I think he has great vision, he has got good hands, not only that but he is going to put points up on the board. He's one of those guys that competes hard, he's not afraid to get his nose dirty, as we call it in hockey. But, what I have seen from this player is that he keeps on getting better and better. He's maturing and understanding the game more and more. What it takes to be a good pro and I think that's what out organization liked about him.
Chara, Bruins are ready for Ovechkin's Capitals
|10.01.09 at 12:21 pm ET
It's clear by the circumstances surrounding the Bruins season opener against the Washington Capitals that things have changed demonstrably for Boston in one season's time. Big time.
The fact that the Black and Gold merit a national TV audience on Versus is one clue, and the marquee match-up against Alexander Ovechkin and the electric Caps is quite another. Milan Lucic was among the excited grouping of B's forwards anxious to get things going in the B's dressing room Thursday morning, and seemed poised to make a statement about Boston's worthiness in the Eastern Conference scheme of things with millions of hockey eyeballs ready to bear witness.
"Everyone seems ready to go, and is pretty anxious for the puck to drop. Everybody can feel it in the air, and I think we're all pretty excited to get things going," said Lucic. "I see that we're on Versus, so it's big across the US and we want to start the season off right.
"When is the last time the Bruins had a chance to start at home? We're excited to do that. We've obviously set the bar high for ourselves and we're focused on being one of the top teams in the East this year. We need to just focus on ourselves and what we can do to get there this year."
–The B's have a couple of new mantras written on the walls within the Bruins dressing room that gives some insight into their goals for the upcoming season. Above the doorway from the dressing room to the hallway reads the painted slogan "Knowing is Not Enough: We Must Apply. Willing is Not Enough: We Must Do." and above the lockers of goaltenders Tim Thomas and Tuukka Rask reads a second painted sign that says: "We are What We Repeatedly Do. Excellence, Therefore, is Not an Act, But a Habit."
–Confirmed with newly resigned B's assistant general manager Jim Benning that Vladimir Sobotka does not have to clear through NHL waivers to rejoin Boston this season. Since the 22-year-old Czech Republic forward has been signed for less than three full years, he is exempt from re-entry waivers. It's apparently an either/or scenario with the three years of service time or maximum of 70 games played as the ceiling, and Sobotka doesn't have to fit into both criteria.
–Zdeno Chara always gets excited for the defensive challenge presented by high-powered offenses and NHL superstars like Alex Ovechkin, and the scoring threats don't get any bigger than reigning Hart Trophy-winner Alexander the Great. The 32-year-old defenseman has learned not to get lulled into the one-on-one matchups against big time players like Ovechkin, but takes it as a personal challenge to bottle up the entire explosive Washington unit including Ovechkin, Mike Knuble, Alexander Semin and Mike Green among others.
"We know that [the Caps] have a skilled team and we have to be on top of our game. But it's a team game and we have to play that way," said Chara. "If you're watching just one guy, then everybody else is getting the room. You have to play against them together as a team, and we know that we have to be disciplined as a unit especially when that first unit is on the ice.
"It's good to have that challenging competition. You have to be on your best game, otherwise they'll take advantage. That always brings the best out of me and the team. It's not just me against Ovie, it's our line against their line on the ice."
–Claude Julien indicated that Steve Begin, Marco Sturm and David Krejci are all at full health for Thursday's opener against the Caps and all will play — a scenario that became obvious when the B's sent Vladimir Sobotka down to Providence on Wednesday afternoon. Begin will center a fouth line of Shawn Thornton and Byron Bitz, Krejci will center his customary line with Blake Wheeler and Michael Ryder, and Sturm will ride the right wing on Boston's top line alongside Marc Savard and Milan Lucic. No shock that any of the three are playing as they've been skating over the last three days leading up to Thursday afternoon.
Benning signs multi-year extension with B's
|09.30.09 at 5:53 pm ET
B's GM Peter Chiarelli announced Wednesday afternoon that Bruins assistant general manager Jim Benning has agreed to a multi-year extension with the club. Benning is entering his fourth year with the B's — and third season as assistant GM — after departing the Buffalo Sabres organization following a 12-year run in their front office. Don Sweeney was also named an assistant general manager of the Bruins last week, and both Sweeney and Benning will share the far-ranging hockey duties encompassed by the role.
'Jim plays a critical role in our management group,' said Chiarelli. 'He takes a very aggressive and proactive approach in his recommendations and assessments underscoring his tremendous management ability and experience. His player evaluation is amongst the tops in the industry and his business acumen supplements our group greatly. We were very fortunate as an organization to hire him in 2006 and we are even more fortunate to secure him for the long term.'
Benning and Chiarelli will hold a Thursday morning press conference at the TD Garden to further discuss the deal and the assistant GM's role within the organization.
Sobotka sent down to Providence
|09.30.09 at 4:39 pm ET
The Boston Bruins have sent Vladimir Sobotka to the AHL's Providence Bruins on Wednesday afternoon in a surprise move just prior to the beginning of the NHL regular season on Oct. 1. It appeared that Sobotka had made the big club in Boston after a solid final kick during the preseason, but the move sends a pretty clear message that center David Krejci is 100 percent healthy to start the season.
Sobotka appeared headed for a healthy scratch on Thursday night and the foreseeable future as the 13th forward with the Bruins, and wouldn't have seen much playing time with the club enjoying good health at the season's beginning. The move to Providence allows Sobotka to stay sharp playing in all situations at the AHL level, and clears a bit more space under the B's salary cap.
With only two Bruins games spread out over the next six days, there wasn't going to be much of a chance for Sobotka to crack the lineup. According to a hockey source, Sobotka was not subject to waivers as a part of Boston's transaction sending him to the Baby B's.
The Bruins now have 21 skaters on their active roster with only one extra defenseman and a backup goaltender to go along with the 19 players slated to skate against the Washington Capitals Thursday night. The move sending Sobotka to the P-Bruins was first reported by the Providence Journal on Wednesday afternoon.
Chiarelli on Dale & Holley, 9/30
|09.30.09 at 2:05 pm ET
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli gave an interview on the Dale & Holley show Wednesday afternoon and discussed the prospects for the upcoming season as well as the Phil Kessel trade. Following is a transcript of the interview. (NOTE: Updated with complete transcript.)
How do you expect to replace the production Phil Kessel gave you last year?
His goals were a different style of goals, so as much as I say, hey, Marco Sturm is going to get his 20-25, maybe to 30, and we believe Bergeron is going to ' I really believe [Patrice] Bergeron will have a big year this year. He's been tremendous in the preseason, so he's going to score more. The younger players will continue to improve. Milan [Lucic] will score more and [David Krejci] will score more, and Morris on the back end will increase the offense. As much as Is say all that, we will miss the style of goals Phil scored, because the speed will back off the [defense]. So, we will miss that. Don't get me wrong, we will miss that. I believe we will make up for the goals with those guys that I mentioned, we just won't score them the same way.
Why were you so confident that this was a trade that would help the Boston Bruins?
I'm not one who is going to trade a player that has his talent, his ability. He's got tremendous skill, tremendous speed, and he's young. The fact of the matter is that he made it clear that he did not want to stay in Boston, that he wanted out. That makes it hard for me to sign him. In fact, that made it impossible for me to sign him, because it takes two to sign a contract. So, now you're looking at, 'OK, well do I just give him whatever he wants?' I could not get a number from him. I did not get one number from him in the negotiation. Unfortunately, that the reality of the business now. Whether it's another team, or whether it's an agent and a player, they have tools that they can use against you, and you have to face reality. Having said all that, what we got in return I thought was very, very good. You may get a Phil Kessel out of that, you may get a player that may help us sooner rather than later. You have to balance that, but at the end of the day when there's someone that doesn't want to work this us and is unequivocal about it, I have to address it.

2- "sudo dpkg -i omxplayer_3~experimental~git20121208~ebfa6fc6_armhf.deb"
The differences between this free version and the premium one are:
- The premium version has no adds
- The premium version has some configuration options, you can configure if you want to adjust the framerate and resolution to the TV (by default in this version) and if you want the audio to use the standard output or HDMI.
- The premium version has buttons to change the speed (ideal to fast forward the intros) and a button to turn off the raspberry
- The premium version has the option to change the audio language if the video has more than one.
- The premium version has a subtitles menu that allows to turn On/Off the subtitles, to add/adjust a delay in the subtitles and to change the subtitles stream if there is more than one.

So cool.

This was almost too easy to set up. I am running raspbian command line on my pi, and this is a great solution for loading up movies on the pi and controlling playback.

But sometimes videos are played with the wrong aspect ratio.

You can make a setting for the app to have an icon on the systembar so android doesn't kill it if it's in the backgroud. Also if you have multiple Raspberry Pi's it would be useful to have connection profiles in the app.

Good app

Doesn't work though required packages are installed. It connects and browses my videos, but wont play them. Cant play music or show pictures.
