International CES 2015 – overwhelming at every turn. What a relief -- it's over. International CES was an extremely difficult venue to sort into useful categories – the Sands Exhibition Hall (part of Tech West) was filled with every health-related variant of wearable, fitness, and lifestyle improvement like Belty that expands as you eat more – as well as Eureka Park. Watch those fit women peddling bikes and running on treadmills, that distance-measured basketball jump shot, and of course -- the pet-related tracker with the large and tippy stuffed dog. And they don't call it International for nothing – walking by, saw (or heard) French entrepreneurs (22% of all startups at CES), the Israeli pavilion, Italian, Spanish, German, and of course, Chinese and Japanese. It is an overwhelming show, not for the faint of heart or foot, and that's just to get from hotels to conferences and exhibits.

The Wall Street Journal thinks that tech will change your life. Perhaps it will even rock your 2015. Rocking their 2015 is just the kind of experience that WSJ readers -- average age of 57 -- really want. But the Journal, ever hopeful for pushing down the subscriber age into the ad world's desirable 20's and 30's, hopes that the readers will be as excited as their current breathless tech columnists Fowler and Stern. So they want its boomer audience to grasp How to Get Ready. But of course! Starting with Windows 10 – which will have a resurrected Start menu and yes, it will improve multi-tasking – by the fall of 2015. Now aren't you excited?

PERS devices and wearables – what will bring them together? Now that the Washington Post has declared that Apple and Google will solve our health problems, aren't you relieved? Oh, you're a bit concerned about your privacy, the fact that all of your outside-of-Facebook web searches are by default accessible to Facebook – that you have to opt out on a completely separate website in order to terminate tracking of this activity? As you wander around Google, Yahoo or through iTunes, your searches about health topics, those are all now relevant for advertisers as provided by Facebook! And extra-special, what do you think about the fact that Apple lobbied away any need for FDA approval for anything health-related? Feeling safely healthy now?

International CES expects 150,000 people this year and 3500 exhibits. I will be going -- my feet are tired in anticipation. The show organizer, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), represents the $208 billion U.S. consumer electronics industry. Almost every commercial tech company will be there -- why even Apple is represented by Hyundai and other partners. In fact, Apple's iWatch threatens to overwhelm the show with its non-presence. Or maybe it won't be the missing watch, but the yet-to-arrive HomeKit which will dominate the show. I dunno about that, seems like the show is still dominated by cars. And will those giant TVs be supplanted by drones, wearables, and virtual reality? Or maybe the new generation of smart homes? Appliance and home improvement big businesses still believe in someone, somewhere having an as-yet-unmet desire for a smarter home. That's been going on for a while, always hedged as the 'smart home for the future' because most homes are still pretty dopey. Perhaps the pipe dream of a smart home has never resonated with home owners – "connecting a bunch of devices that are primed for breaking."

The mHealth Summit held last week was an ever-more HealthIT (along with Digital Health and mHealth brethren) and the mobile/app aware, digital vision for the future, an extravaganza of technology advancement -- sounding vaguely familiar. Hey, there's the renamed Patient Centered Medical Home, at this conference, called the Intelligent Medical Home). There were all of those Games for Health, behavior change, patient engagement, care coordination, and quite a few pharma-sponsored sessions. As is typical of an event like this, a plethora of investment-related, venture fund and startup-type sessions could be found.

Did you know that nearly 40% of seniors report having a disability? In the category of number obsession, this new snapshot of a government report caught my eye and should catch yours – it is referencing 16 million people. The report notes six types of disability reported in census data: hearing, sight, thinking and memory, walking, self-care and independent living. From the MedlinePlus release: "People older than 85 accounted for more than 25 percent of all disabilities among seniors, although they represented only 14 percent of the overall senior population."

So you want to launch a boomer/senior, home health tech product or service. As your new company gets ready to travel into battle at mHealth, CES, and all those 2015 launch events to-be-named-later, it is time to for you to revisit this guidance. Perhaps some time soon, your new or existing company will officially launch a new product or service, or perhaps a long-awaited, over-described and much-anticipated offering will finally ship. Here is a checklist that continues to hold true – with a few links that are merely examples: Read more ... about Ten Tips -- 2014 Year-End Guide for Launching a Product or Service
Less movement and non-movement matter. The Washington Post ran an article recently about GreatCall's partnership with an AI company so that patterns and changes in behavior could be reported to family members from its wearable PERS device. Of course, tracking and reporting about changes from baselines -- that's nothing new for sensor-based home monitoring systems. But it is a surprisingly big deal in the PERS industry -- where even those who once supported pattern-detecting big ideas dropped them like a hot rock -- in favor of the transactional PERS world -- press the button and someone will come. The most radical changes in that industry over five years, fall detection and GPS tracking, have still been transactional -- Mrs. Smith, we are responding, are you okay? -- versus, I'm Mrs. Smith's device, and based on her behavior changes, she is not okay.

I quit Facebook and life, such as it was, went on. I quit because its business tactics were becoming ever so more UnFriendly-like -- from experiments with the product of us to selling your browsing history to selling your facial profile to advertisers. Then over to tracking your TV-watching habits and listening to voices on your mobile device, Facebook will soon opt into your health information -- thus forcing more privacy Opt-Outs. So time without Facebook slowly passed, then the 14-day post-deletion period -- are you sure, sure, sure? You can still re-activate! -- that grace period came and quietly went. No one, myself included, noticed my disappearance on that day. I did not request my archive of 7+ years of posts, I did not write down a list of those 300 or so folks that I had 'friended' over the years, apparently an average number for all users, and I did not note the businesses that had requested that I Like them. Without a glance back, I left all those pictures of just-cooked or about-to-be-eaten meals, graduation pictures of people I no longer knew (and thus probably don't really Like all that much), timelines, new feeds, and even groups, including alumni of gone companies from my many gone jobs. But I am not the only one departing -- looks like some younger people are getting out too. Read more ... about While we were sleeping -- the kingdom of our data was lost

Ghouls, ghosts and goblins will appear at your doorway tonight, and if you have dancers who would delight in dancing a routine with deliciously macabre music, we have some selections that would be perfect in our Legitmix store. Here are our spooky and/or creepy offerings:
Tag Archives: routine
Put a button on it
Definition of Button, from a Broadway Glossary:
Button: The payoff moment in a song; the moment when the song is "buttoned up" and finished.
On Broadway, music composers know that nearly all of the time, they need to deliver a button on their songs…. that point in the music when the audience knows the song is over, and it's time to applaud. The same concept applies when editing music for performance dance routines. When a song fades out, your audience is robbed of the routine's button. That's why Squirrel Trench Audio retains the ending of the original song so that the button is delivered to your dancer. The audience knows the routine is over and it's time to clap.
There are times when a song might have a big musical finish that lasts 20 seconds or more. These type of endings, while great in a music performance, are too long for a dance performance. In such cases, we will edit down the big finish into an appropriate length for the dance routine.
If you need your music edited to retain the button, either look through our catalog on Legitmix, or fill out a custom music edit request form.
Hot new band: Dirty Loops – Hit Me
A hot new artist has just arrived on the scene from Sweden. Dirty Loops is a trio of talented musicians bringing an avant garde twist to popular music. Their first single is Hit Me. This song will be spectacular for a small group, large group, line, or production, in either jazz or tap. It could also work for a very advanced soloist in jazz or tap. Squirrel Trench Audio has three versions available on Legitmix:
2:45 version:
2:30 version:

Michael Jackson/Dangerous & Janet Jackson/Rhythm Nation remixes
The King of Pop, Michael Jackson, crushed it at the MTV Music Awards. Here is a remix based on that performance, along with some original twists. Edited for a 2:45 length dance routine.
Janet Jackson is one of the top female music performers of all time. Here is an original remix of the classic Rhythm Nation from the album 1814.
Congrats to Joleen's Starz of the South
A huge congratulations to Joleen's Starz of the South studio who took home some serious hardware from the NYLA Dance Nationals in Biloxi Mississippi from June 12-15. "Music of the Night" featured a five-minute-plus Squirrel Trench-mixed soundtrack for this production number. In addition to Music of the Night, Starz of the South won in many other categories with routines featuring Squirrel Trench edited and mixed music, including Oceans, a Baseball-themed mix, My Flawz, Egyptian Style, Dirty Laundry, and Crazy in Love. Three additional special numbers were: a remix of Lady Gaga's Applause, a moving 9-11 tribute, and a NYC street drumming scene. Here are the complete results from Starz of the South's Nationals.
Here's what studio owner Joleen had to say:
"We absolutely loved all of our music you created for us. Music of the Night won an overall highest scoring group/production and 1st place at Nationals. All of our music sounded amazing and we received great judges comments on all of our mixes and cuts. Thanks again!"

Another happy soloist in Alaska
Just finished remixing a fun mashup of several songs, including Britney Spears' Work Work, into a unique solo routine for a young dancer in Bethel, Alaska. This unique remix features custom drum and bass additions for an exciting, never-before-heard audio foundation for choreography. Here's what her mom had to say after listening to the finished piece:
I love it, and my daughter keeps saying, 'That is sooo cool!'
It is perfect!"
Michael Jackson for tap dance routines
It's been quite busy for music remixes and edits over the past several weeks. One of the latest requests is a Michael Jackson song re-edited/remixed for a 7-year-old tapper, with a duration of 2:20 for the routine. Michael Jackson was an amazing musician, singer, dancer and entertainer. Pretty much every one of his songs has a catchy beat and great structure. He is one of my favorite artists for music editing and remixing.
After completing and uploading the latest MJ remix for the tap routine, the dance parent had this to say upon first listen:
"Oh my goodness, this is PERFECT!! You are a genius! Thanks so much!"
It's great to know that another tapper will have a spectacular remix to dance with. When you are ready for flawless music which is a cut above the rest for your next dance routine, just let me know.
Great feedback from Dance for Joy
Kim Houli, studio owner of Dance for Joy had some feedback recently about her Squirrel Trench remix for her studio's opening recital number, Dancing Through The Ages:
Just wanted to let you know that our opening number is AWESOME!!! The music is perfect! I'll be sure to post it on you tube when the DVD's are in this summer thanks again!

I love thrilling choreographers with exciting music!
As much as I enjoy editing and cutting popular songs to dance competition length, I take special pride in creating unique remixes that are often used for group routines, especially jazz, character, tap, and hip hop routines. Here's what a choreographer in Utah had to say after I tweaked a remix to amp up the excitement level even higher:
"NAILED IT!!!! I am soooooo happy it is literally perfect! EXACTLY what I had in mind! I am so excited, the girls are going to freak out. Thanks a million, I really appreciate your help and creativity! You are great! So glad I found you! Thanks again!!!!"

I loved working with Xenia! She understood exactly what I wanted (and didn't want). The center pieces and bouquets were absolutely stunning!
Sue Sepe Ocean House WeddingReviewed on 11/05/2013 Susan S
I had worked with another florist for my older daughter's wedding. While that was a beautiful event, nothing can compare to the detail and thought that Xenia puts into all aspects of the event. She takes the time to listen and really hear what you are trying to achieve. The flowers for the bridal party as well as the bridal bouquet were gorgeous. I had many compliments as well on the reception centerpieces. Xenia made my daughter's wedding a memory that will last for years and years.
Beautiful flowersReviewed on 10/02/2013 Kayla M
Working with Xenia was so easy and it made picking out the flowers less difficult than I expected it to be. She walked me through beginning to end, asking me a variety of questions to get a sense of my style.
Look No Further!!!Reviewed on 9/24/2013 Kristina
I can not recommend Vine & Vessel, Inc. highly enough. Xenia is beyond fabulous, a true talent. Everything about the flowers was exactly how I dreamed they would be. She understood exactly what I wanted and everything came out even better than I'd imagined. All I had to do was tell her the flowers I liked and the colors I was looking for and she created the rest. She was so amazing throughout the whole planning process, even making suggestions that totally added to the beauty of the day. When she arrived at my house the day of the wedding and showed me my bridal bouquet, I was blown away at how beautiful it was!! Everyone commented on how beautiful all of the flowers were especially the centerpieces! She did such an amazing job and I am so proud to have had her as our florist. Her attention to detail, creativity, and dedication to her job truly shows through her work. I would absolutely recommend Xenia at Vine & Vessel, Inc. to other brides looking for an awesome and talented florist.
Thank you Kristina!!! You were a dream bride! Best wishes for a life of love and happiness! Xenia
Stunning Flowers, unique design!Reviewed on 7/18/2013 JoAnne M
Xenia was a blast to work with! I know very little about flowers and she had so many great ideas, which made the whole process stress free and easy! I saw pictures of her previous work so I knew the flowers would be beautiful, but the day of the wedding everything took my breath away! Every little detail was perfect! She made 3 different types of centerpieces for the reception and they all were stunning and unique!
Thank you Joanne! You were a pleasure...and a blast...to work with too! Xenia
A great experience!Reviewed on 6/05/2013 Megan D
Xenia of Vine and Vessel was just what I was looking for in a florist! I had met with NUMEROUS other florists and just didnt seem to mesh with them. I didnt see them picturing my vision for my floral arrangements until I met with Xenia. She knew exactly what my vision was and executed it to a T the day of the wedding. My arrangements were to die for and people couldnt say enough about how beautiful they were. From the pew buckets at the church which Xenia repurposed to save money at the cocktail hour, to the tall and short centerpieces, I couldnt believe how spectacular my venue looked. I loved bling and xenia was able to put that special touch into all the arrangments including my grooms boutenairre. She always added a personal touch that reminded me of myself and my vision which was amazing. I was speechless when I saw my bouquet and the girls bouquets, they were more than I ever even imagined seeing. Xenia made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process to go to her with any questions, concerns and she executed my vision and all we discussed to a T! Flowers are obviously expensive, but it was worth it to see all the arrangements throughout the day, She was the first vendor who told me my vision could be done in my budget. She was refreshing, creative and her dedication to the job showed in her work on the wedding day. Even down to the vases for the centerpieces were superb and I would absolutely recommend any bride to choose Vine and Vessel on their wedding day. Only thing I wished was that our head table was a little more lush and the vintage stemware was a little bit bigger, but budget constrictions made the set up completely understandable. Xenia is an amazing florist and a even nicer person, thank you Xenia for making my wedding flowers a dream come true!
Knowledgable and an eye for detailReviewed on 1/31/2013 Heather B
Xenia was wonderful to work with. She was able to pin point my vision when I had a hard time saying what that was. All of the flowers were beautiful and she was always available to ask questions and bounce ideas off of. She was always concerned about how my flowers would look both on the day of, and in the pictures, and managed to tweak my ideas so they would look good both ways. I very highly recommend her, you won't be sorry!
Fuschia weddingReviewed on 11/06/2012 Laura G
Xenia did a great job with my wedding. As some one that does not know much about flowers she helped me pick one that went with my color scheme and executed my vision. She is very easy to work with and I would recommend her highly.
Very impressed!Reviewed on 11/03/2012 Madelyn R
Xenia did a fabulous job with the floral arrangements for my wedding. She did all of our bouquets, boutonnieres, and posies as well as our chuppah and the centerpieces on the hor devours table and gift table. Each and every piece was perfect, elegant, exactly what I wanted/envisioned and more! Out of all of my various wedding vendors, I have to say that I was the most pleased with her work. She carefully examined all of the sample inspirational photos that I showed her and asked me a series of detailed, organized questions at our meeting in order to make the arrangements as close as possible to my requests/vision. She also used her own expert creativity to go above and beyond- especially with the bouquets and the chuppah (I will try to post some photos). Since floral arrangements are often difficult to predict based on seasonal availability and variety within flowers, I had no idea what to expect- but I was happily surprised and delighted with her gorgeous and professional results! I definitely recommend using Vine & Vessel for your floral needs.
Picture Perfect!Reviewed on 11/02/2012 Cindy F
Xenia is truly amazing! She was a pleasure to work with and her talent speaks for itself. She captured my vision perfectly! Her attention to detail is impeccable and she went above and beyond my expectations. My bouquet was absolutely stunning! The maids bouquets were gorgeous and the centerpieces were absolutely beautiful. Xenia helped create my dream wedding, and I am forever grateful!
Our whimsical weddingReviewed on 10/16/2012 Torie S
My experience with Vine & vessel was absolutely amazing! Xenia transformed our wedding day into the fairy tale I dreamed of! We aren't your traditional couple and we wanted something fun, different & memorable! That's what she gave us ! She brought my entire vision of peacock feather, curly willows and every crazy piece of greenery to life ! It was better than I could have hoped for !! The complements we received were unbelievable ! She took everything to the next level , leaving out no details at all !! Xenia was extremely thorough with her meetings with me she made sure she got exactly what I was saying! Not once did she make me feel like my vision was out of reach , she jumped on full board from the beginning & we could not have been happier ! I would recommend Vine & Vessel to absolutely everyone with no hesitation!!
Beautiful wedding brought to life by Xenia!Reviewed on 8/23/2012 Ersilia F
4 weeks have gone by since my daughter's wedding and I can still visualize the beautiful flowers designed by Xenia. My daughter Alex had a vision of what her special day would be like and Xenia created beautiful flowers set in silver candleabras and vintage centerpieces with flowers and prisims. She wanted trees for the church. Xenia designed 2 oak trees with cascading ivy and white blossoms. We have received call from guests complimenting our flowers and presentation. Xenia made this all possible.
Amazing!!Reviewed on 8/19/2012 Kim M
I used Vine & Vessel for flowers for my wedding day. Xenia was so helpful when helping me plan out which flowers to use. The day of the wedding I was absolutely amazed at how great of a job she did. My bouquet was exactly what I pictured in my head, along with my bridal party's bouquets. All of the centerpieces and little details were exactly what I wanted! Thank you so much Xenia!
Our daughters 2012 weddingReviewed on 8/15/2012 becky p
Our daughter was married in June 2012 with her reception at the Alpine Country Club in RI. Xenia worked with my daughter and her fiance for almost a year on selecting a theme and colors for the various floral arrangements. The final outcome exceeded our highest expectations! From the moment she delivered the bridal bouquets and the buttonaire's for the men, every individual creation took our breath away. Our daughter loves crystals and Xenia even incorporated tiny ones into the men's buttonaires! They were stunning as were the bridal bouquets that sparkled with several broches that were set in silver with stones and pearls! Her attentionto detail is incredible. Walking into the reception room was something that our family and guests will never forget. The vibrant colors were breathtaking along with the vases and unique arrangements that filled the room. The overall impact was stunning and sophisticated. We have two more daughters and possibly two more weddings (hopefully not too soon!) and I look forward to working with Xenia again in the future.
Excellent design estheticReviewed on 8/13/2012 robin z
Xenia Buckley of Vine&Vessel is not only lovely and creative to work with, she really listened to the more subtle things that both my daughter in-law and I said. Xenia went above and beyond our expectations! Our Chuppah was beautiful as were all the arrangements. From a cost perspective she is excellent as well and I hope to use her again.
Elegant and CreativeReviewed on 7/10/2012 Crystal D
Vine and Vessel did an amazing job creating the floral elegance I was looking for in my wedding! I worked with Xenia, who was creative and provided excellent ideas and suggestions. Their prices were fair and all of the floral arrangements were gorgeous! I would highly recommend them to future bride and grooms!
LOVED MY FLOWERS!!Reviewed on 10/30/2011 Jessica V
I absolutely loved my flowers, they were more beautiful than I could even imagine! Xenia was so wonderful to work with and she executed my color scheme perfectly! Couldn't be more pleased :)
1920's Vintage GalourReviewed on 10/06/2011 Jenna M
I had heard nothing but good comments about Vine & Vessel while searching for the perfect vendor for my wedding flowers. Thus, I made an appointment with Xenia, who was very thorough in her inquiries as to what I was looking for. She was able to pinpoint exactly what I was looking for, as I was hosting a 1920's mobster wedding, and she displayed the uptmost enthusiasm when suggesting the use of peacock feathers, 3-d blue lights in the vases, pearls, etc. In fact, she had pin-pointed my desires so exact, that I chose her company as my flower vendor that very day. Later, when finances became an issue, she was able to work with me on a budget that was appropriate for me. On the day of the wedding she arrived promptly and all of the flowers were beautiful. I recommend Vine & Vessel for any flower needs!
Very Happy Mother of the BrideReviewed on 9/21/2011 mary catherine w
The flowers for my daughter's wedding were Fantastic! Venia was wonderful to work with and extremely creative. We were very last minute when we hired her and gave her just a few flowers that my daughter Had to Have. She took the information and did an incredible job AND stayed on budget! I will use her services again as well as recommend her to everyone I know, especially anyone having a wedding.
Floral Elegance!Reviewed on 9/21/2011 jennifer j
We were extrememly satisfied with Vine & Vessel, the flowers were gorgeous, better than we could have dreamed. Xenia was easy to work with and did everything we wanted down to the last detail. All the guests were wowed by the floral arrangements, Xenia is a true artist! I would refer her for anyone's special day!
Exceptional!Reviewed on 5/04/2011 Bethany B
I was absolutely in love with the way the flowers turned out for my wedding! Xenia worked with me and my budget and did a wonderful job. She took my ideas for a slightly less traditional centerpiece and ran with them, making them even more beautiful than I could have hoped for. Everyone at my wedding commented on how wonderful everything looked, and not one centerpiece was left at the end of the night!
Thank you so much Bethany! You were a pleasure to work with and what really made it fun was your whimsical vision for your wedding day! Thanks for allowing Vine & Vessel to the wedding!
perfect!Reviewed on 10/11/2010 sherry n
Creative, easy to work with, affordable, perfect! are all words to describe the flowers for my daughter's wedding and the above-and-beyond service we received by Vine and Vessel. Not only did we have amazing flowers for the service and reception, but the next day brunch flowers were equally as lovely and appropriate for the event. Xenia, the designer, was knowledgeable and a pleasure to meet with in the planning stages. She provided experienced direction and helpful hints along the way. Her set-up the day of the wedding was professional. The flowers themselves, lasted quite a while afterwards. Obviously, she made sure everything was the freshest it could be. Our guests made numerous comments about the variety of arrangements, as well as, the creative use of flowers and other materials for the gift table and seating table. I hope I have the pleasure to use the services of Vine & Vessel again.
Perfect everythingReviewed on 10/09/2010 Katie N
Our wedding looked amazing because of Xenia's excellent artistic work. My husband, who wasn't too concerned about the flowers before the wedding, keeps saying that he was was so impressed with how beautiful our flowers were and how much of a difference they made in giving our wedding a warm, inviting feel. Xenia was great to work with. She sat down with us and helped us figure out what we could afford to do and how to make everything look the way we wanted it to while actually staying under our budget!! She was able to perfect every little detail for us, in the exact way we requested it. It's very obvious that she knows what she's doing and the best part is, you can tell she loves what she does. Out of all the wedding vendors we booked, V&V takes the cake!
OutstandingReviewed on 10/09/2010 Karyn E
I was extremely satisfied with my flowers by Vine & Vessel. Xenia was able to work within our budget just fine. She was very helpful in picking out different arrangements and giving her knowledge as to what would look nice together. When the flowers arrived that morning I was in awe of how beautiful they were. They were better then I imagined them to be. My husband and I were so thankful we used Vine and Vessel!! I would recommend her to anyone!
Couldn't ask for better!Reviewed on 10/07/2010 Courtney P
I have been to a couple of weddings that Xenia has done flowers for, and was always amazed at how stunning her work was. When it came time to plan my wedding, I didn't think twice about who to go to! Xenia was very professional and very helpful in bringing my dream wedding come true (especially on the budget I had). I was able to rest assured knowing my flowers were in excellent hands, which as any bride knows is always a good feeling. I would absolutely recommend her (and have already done so) to any bride! She will work diligently to bring your vision to a beautiful reality!

"VERY busy and can be stressful, but from what I've seen they treat their pharmacists well "
I have been working at Giant Eagle as an intern (More than 3 years)
They back up their pharmacists when they make mistakes and treat them well for the most part. They pay well for pittsburgh where there are no pharmacist jobs. The company is growing and always trying to capitalize on new ideas.
A lot of the stores are very high volume so there can be a lot of pressure to get things done fast rather than to be helpful to patients. Also, they don't train the technicians well, the only way they really learn more is through years of experience with the company. it can be very stressful. They are only available in 4 states: Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and Maryland, at least for now.
Advice to Management
Better training process to make the work load more efficient and flow more smoothly. Also, let employees know of upcoming promotions so they don't look incompetent in front of customers.

You work with great people, great benefits, and you get a 10% discount
Management sucks! I have had customers complain to me about how rude and mean the managers are! When corporate is in our store they act like perfect angels. I got pulled from my department for 2 months to help out on the front end and I didn't even get a simple thank you. Poor communication within the company(especially the store manager). Oh you get a raise but it is only .15 cents, practically have to work a entire lifetime to even think about buying a nice house and raising a family. Safe yourself the hassle and don't work for this company.
Advice to Management
Get your act together. Smile for a change too.

Great teams of employees to work for
Managers and "higher ups" have no idea how to treat their teams, politics run the company - not quality employees. Great managers are only blamed and abused, but those that "play well with others", never questioning policy or procedure even when it has a clear benefit, are the ones rewarded. Sometimes ruffling feathers is crucial for a company to grow!
Advice to Management
Don't let a blonde in a skirt influence your decisions when recognizing some of the best talent you've ever had. The manipulation, lies, abusive treatment, scornful emails, and the blame game should stop so your management team can be loyal and dedicated to the organization - because I assure you, right now they are not. Every one of them has a resume out there looking for a company that will treat them fairly.

'It was embarrassing - we just capitulated' - memories of Liverpool 9, Crystal Palace 0
Players on both sides from that infamous night back in 1989 tell Standard Sport what it was like to be part of a match that has gone down in football folklore
Published: 04 October 2013
Updated: 12:24, 04 October 2013
Younger Crystal Palace supporters will be relishing tomorrow's trip to Anfield. Liverpool away in the Premier League. Doesn't get much better than that, right?
But for Palace fans of a certain age, the visit to Merseyside will conjure up the sort of flashbacks that have you waking up in a cold sweat.
And that's because Palace's most infamous away day — at Anfield on September 12, 1989 — ended in a 9-0 drubbing. It's important to note this was a strong Palace team; the days of Ian Wright, Mark Bright and Geoff Thomas and, for many, the club's greatest era. However, it was a night when everything went right for the then-mighty Reds, while Palace couldn't buy so much as a smile.
"Embarrassing," is how former Palace winger Eddie McGoldrick sums up the match. "To go to Anfield was a dream come true for me. What happened that night is still not forgotten about. People still bring it up, 'Did you play in that 9-0 match?'
"As always, we were backed by a massive following and started well: Geoff [Thomas] hit the post. But once Liverpool settled into their game it was like they had 15 men. They just cut us open at will at points.
"Three nil at half-time, we're thinking, 'damage limitation' or 'we could nick one and get back in it'.
"I remember John Aldridge in his last game for Liverpool. He hadn't even warmed up and Kenny Dalglish brought him on to take the penalty and make it 6-0. It was shell-shocking.
"We capitulated. It was a case of getting in that bath as quickly as possible, getting on the bus and on the M6 home. My next-door neighbour at the time was a Liverpool fan, so the next couple of days weren't so good.
"They were a top side and it certainly was a wake-up call for us in that League. But it brought us closer together and made us more resilient. We worked harder on different things and how we approached games. And I see that in Ian [Holloway] at the moment — he played expansive football with Blackpool and got relegated on the last day. He's learned from that and is trying to find ways to pick up points."
Given the teams' contrasting starts to this season, Liverpool are odds-on favourites tomorrow but McGoldrick is optimistic the return of a fellow wide man can help the Eagles.
Embarrassed: Eddie McGoldrick had better days for Crystal Palace "The word is Yannick Bolasie will be fit," he says. "Whether he goes straight back in is a different matter. He hasn't had a lot of football. Ian might look at it and think we've missed his width, pace and quality. I know the supporters will be pleased to see him back."
Back on that night in 1989, it was the Liverpool fans who were pleased, although their joy was tinged with sadness as Aldridge played his last game for them. The striker's forced exit following the return of Ian Rush to Liverpool was astonishing, given his haul of 63 goals in 104 games for the Reds. "I didn't want to leave — I was gutted," says Aldridge. "I was forced out by Kenny [Dalglish]. To be fair, I was a little older than Rushy and Peter [Beardsley] and moved to Spain, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
"It was a gesture from Kenny to give me the penalty and score it to go out with a bit of a bang with the fans because I was one of them who lived the dream.
"They didn't want me to go as much as I didn't want to go. [Throwing my shirt into the crowd] was just my way of showing appreciation."
Aldridge can see only one result tomorrow. He says: "Luis Suarez is just unbelievable. It will be a difficult afternoon to keep him quiet. Liverpool [will] win but Palace have nothing to lose and will have a right good go."
Palace's captain in 1989, Thomas, urges the current side to give everything; after all, they have won three of their past four matches against Liverpool. He says: "Palace have won at Anfield a number of times and there's no reason why it can't be done again."
Thomas recalls the match 24 years ago with wit and warmth. With the score 6-0, the former midfielder cannoned a penalty over the bar.
Formidable: Liverpool demolished Crystal Palace at Anfield en route to winning the league title "I wanted to knock Bruce Grobbelaar into the back of the net as hard as I could," he says. "I wasn't that bothered about scoring. To be fair to Bruce, he was showing me a corner, as if to say, 'I want you to score one'. All the anger and frustration came out in that one kick.
"It was deathly quiet [in the dressing room]. Back in those days it was a big communal bath; it was in a different room, which was fortunate for the players because we had to get out of the way of the coaching staff.
"It was one of those moments where something had to break. I always remember John Pemberton getting in the bath and going [Thomas adopts deadpan], 'You know what, I think they'll do quite well this year'. We all had to dive under the water. We were squeaking trying to stop laughing. What that did was break the ice and made us realise we had a big job to do. We had the characters and players who'd stand up and fight, to make sure Palace survived that season. It was one of those moments you will never forget."
Thomas, who has been successfully treated for leukaemia, adds: "With anything that happens in your life that seems dark at the time, there is that crude humour that comes out.
"There are two ways you can react to bad stuff: go with it and have a laugh and a chuckle at yourself. Or make yourself more depressed, hide and go down. Thankfully, we did the positive and bounced back."
Geoff Thomas was speaking on behalf of Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research: leukaemialymphomaresearch.org.uk

Lately we've seen Bill Clinton stumping for President Obama as he ramps up his reelection campaign — but you likely won't see George W. Bush doing the same for GOP candidate Mitt Romney.
Why not? Probably because a new survey finds Bush has the lowest favorable rating of any living former president.

A composition and method for decontaminating a surface is disclosed. Specifically, the composition comprises 20 to 50 percent by weight of a terpene-based component, 20 to about 40 percent by weight of an alkyl pyrrolidone, and 5 to about 40 percent by weight of a surfactant.
1. A method of decontaminating a surface comprising:
providing a surface having an organic contaminant contained thereon;
contacting the surface with a composition which consists essentially of 20 to 50 percent by weight of a non-alcohol terpene component, wherein said non-alcohol terpene component is selected from the group consisting of d-limonene, alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, 1-methyl-4-isopropylene-1-cyclohexane, and mixtures thereof; 20 to 40 percent by weight of an alkyl pyrrolidone, and 5 to 40 percent by weight of a surfactant so as to decontaminate the surface.
2. The method according to claim 1 wherein the alkyl pyrrolidone is selected from the group consisting of 2-ethyl pyrrolidone, 2-methyl pyrrolidone, N-methyl pyrrolidone, propyl pyrrolidone, butyl pyrrolidone, and mixtures thereof.
3. The method according to claim 1 wherein the surfactant is selected from the group consisting of nonylphenol alkanolamide, (nonylphenoxy)polyethylene oxide, sodium salts of petroleum sulfonic acid, sorbitan sesquioleate, nonylphenol ethoxylate, alcohol ethoxysulfate, polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene block copolymer, octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol, octylphenol ethoxylate, and mixtures thereof.
4. The method according to claim 1 further comprising water.
5. The method according to claim 1 wherein the surface contains inorganic scale and further comprising applying an inorganic scale removing compound to the surface so as to remove the inorganic scale from the surface.
6. The method according to claim 5 wherein the inorganic scale removing compound is selected from the group consisting of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, citric acid, oxalic acid, a hydrazide, and mixtures thereof.
7. The method according to claim 1 further comprising separating the composition from the contaminant such that the composition may be re-used.
8. The method according to claim 7 wherein said step of separating the contaminant and composition is carried out by heating the composition.
This application is a divisional of application Ser. No. 08/644,325, filed 10 May 1996, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,663,135, which is a continuation of provisional application Ser. No. 60/002,137 filed 10 Aug. 1995.
The present invention relates to a composition and method for decontaminating a surface. More particularly, the invention relates to a composition and method of decontaminating a coated or uncoated metal surface containing organic contaminants.
Organic materials designed for commercial and industrial use are often transported in equipment having a metal surface. Typical organics include oils, greases, latexes, waxes, paraffins, tars, asphaltenes, and the like, and typical metals which are employed include carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, brass, and alloys. Specifically, the organic materials often contaminate the metal surfaces they are contained or transported in such as organic materials transported in rail cars; processing equipment employed in petrochemical plants and refineries; ship tanks; and the like. Typically these objects are cleaned in hot caustic solution to dissolve the organic contaminant. Using such a solution, however, suffers from numerous drawbacks.
Caustic is relatively slow to clean a vessel because chemical hydrolysis has to occur. Moreover, the caustic is dangerous to handle for workers since skin contact often results in chemical burns. The caustic can also react with ammonium-based contaminants to release free ammonia which is a hazard and irritant to workers. Caustic solution is not very reusable and must be totally disposed of as a hazardous waste due to contaminants and high pH (>12).
U.S. Pat. No. 5,356,482 to Mehta et al. proposes a process for decontaminating process equipment and vessels. In particular, Mehta et al. proposes utilizing a cleaning agent such as a terpene-based extractant which is vaporized by the use of steam to remove organic contaminants, particularly potentially hazardous contaminants such as benzene. The use of steam, however, is disadvantageous in that it requires additional cost in terms of energy needed to vaporize the water.
It would be desirable to provide a composition and method of decontaminating a surface which utilizes substantially non-hazardous chemicals which are biodegradable, and does not require steam in the contaminant removal process. Moreover, it would be particularly desirable to provide a composition and method for decontaminating a surface such that subsequent to decontamination, the composition may be readily re-used.
In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a composition and method for decontaminating surfaces wherein the composition employs substantially non-hazardous materials and is biodegradable.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a composition and method for decontaminating surfaces which may be employed at lower temperatures and accordingly does not require the use of steam.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a composition and method for decontaminating surfaces such that the composition may be separated from the contaminant and thus may be readily re-usable.
To these ends and others, the present invention provides a composition suitable for removing organic contaminants. Specifically, the composition comprises about 20 to about 50 percent by weight of a terpene-based component, about 20 to about 40 percent by weight of an alkyl pyrrolidone, and about 5 to about 40 percent by weight of a surfactant.
The present invention also provides a method of decontaminating a surface. Specifically, the method comprises providing a metal surface having the organic contaminant, contacting the metal surface with a composition which comprises 20 to 50 percent by weight of a terpene-based component, 20 to 40 percent by weight of an alkyl pyrrolidone, and 5 to 40 percent by weight of a surfactant. In a preferred embodiment, the method further comprises separating the composition from the contaminant such that the composition may be re-usable.
The present invention will now be described more fully hereinafter. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiment set forth herein; rather, this embodiment is provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
The composition of the present invention rapidly removes organic contaminants from a surface. Moreover, the composition is biodegradable, and has a flash point substantially higher than the RCRA limit (40 CFR 261.21) of greater than 140� F. The organic contaminants which may be removed include for example, oils, greases, waxes, paraffins, tars, asphaltenes, and the like. The contaminant may be removed from any surface upon which such contaminant typically accumulates including metal surfaces such as those employed in rail car and petrochemical processing applications. Specifically, the composition comprises a terpene-based component, an alkyl pyrrolidone and a surfactant. Water can be added to dilute the composition.
Suitable terpene-based components have the general chemical formula of C10 H16 and are based on the isoprene unit C5 H8. Preferred terpene compositions of the present invention include d-limonene, alpha-terpineol, beta-terpineol, alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, alcohols of such compositions, or mixtures thereof. Additionally, terpenes with a flash point greater than 140� F. may be employed. A particularly preferred terpene is SCM/Glidco Organics of Jacksonville, Fla., Glidsol-180, Reentry Solvent D� sold by Environmental Solvents of Jacksonville, Fla., Petroferm� D-312 sold by Petroferm Inc. of Fernandina Beach, Fla., and Petroferm� Bioact sold by Petroferm Inc. of Fernandina Beach, Fla.
Preferably, the terpene-based component is employed in an amount ranging from 20 to 50 percent by weight of the composition, more preferably, from 30 to 40 percent by weight, and most preferably, from 31 to 35 percent by weight.
Suitable alkyl pyrrolidones include C1 -C6 pyrrolidones such as 2-ethyl pyrrolidone, N-methyl pyrrolidone, 2-methyl pyrrolidone, propyl pyrrolidone butyl pyrrolidone, and mixtures thereof. A particularly preferred pyrrolidone is M-pyrol™ sold by ISP Technologies and is a 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone.
Preferably, the alkyl pyrrolidones is employed in an amount ranging from about 20 to about 40 percent by weight of the composition, more preferably, from 30 to 40 percent by weight and most preferably, from 31 to 35 percent by weight.
Any suitable surfactant or mixtures of surfactant can be used and can be of the non-ionic, anionic, cationic or amphoteric type, and of natural or synthetic origin. Suitable surfactants for use in the present invention include, but are not limited to, nonylphenol alkanolamide, (nonylphenoxy)polyethylene oxide, sodium salts of petroleum sulfonic acid, sorbitan sesquioleate, nonylphenol ethoxylate (3-12 moles of ethylene oxide), alcohol ethoxysulfate, polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene block copolymer, octylphenoxypolyethoxyethyanol (3-12 moles ethylene oxide), octylphenol ethoxylate (3-12 moles ethylene oxide), and mixtures thereof.

Preferably, the surfactant is employed in an amount ranging from 5 to 40 percent by weight of the composition, more preferably, from 20 to 40 percent by weight, and most preferably, from 31 to 35 percent by weight.
An inorganic scale removing compound may be employed for removing inorganic scale from a surface. For the purposes of the invention, the term "inorganic scale" may be construed to include, but is not limited to, oxides, sulfates, and phosphates of metals such as iron, calcium, and barium. Any appropriate inorganic scale removing compound may be used including, but not limited to, polycarboxylic acids, aminopolycarboxylic acids, along with salts and mixtures thereof. Aqueous blends of any of the above components may be employed. Suitable polycarboxylic acids include citric acid, oxalic acid, and mixtures thereof. Suitable aminopolycarboxylic acids include ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, triethylenetetraaminehexaacetic acid, N-2-hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetic acid, propylene-1,2-diaminetetraacetic acid, propylene-1,2-diaminetetraacetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid, the ammonium, alkylammonium and alkali metal salts of the acids, and mixtures thereof.
A hydrazide may be employed as an inorganic scale removing compound, alone or in mixture with any of the above compounds. For the purposes of the invention, a hydrazide may include any suitable hydrazide compound, an alkali metal or ammonium salt of the hydrazide compound, or mixtures thereof. Hydrazides which may be employed are numerous and include those described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,609,757 and 4,726,907 to D'Muhala et al.; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,708,805 to D'Muhala, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety. Typically, the hydrazides are derived from known reactions which typically involve amino polycarboxylic acids such as, for example, an amino polyacetic acid. Specifically, tetrahydrazide formed from EDTA may be employed. Other hydrazides which may be used include carboxyhydrazides, i.e. polycarbazic acids. Exemplary polycarbazic acids are of the general formula:
(R)2 --N-- CH2 CH2 N(R)!m --R
wherein R is the group CH2 --CO--NH--NH--COOH and m is 0 or an integer from 1 to 4. Preferably, m is 0 or 1. Another suitable polycarbazic acid includes that described by the general formula: ##STR1##
The inorganic scale removing compound may be employed in any appropriate amount. Preferably, the composition includes from 0.1 to 50 weight percent of the inorganic scale removing compound, and more preferably from 3 to 10 weight percent.
Various dispersants may be used in the invention. A suitable dispersant for organic contaminants is Tamol SN™, a sodium salt of naphthalenesulfonic acid, available from Rohm & Haas, Philadelphia, Pa. A suitable dispersant for inorganic scale is sodium lignosulfonate. Preferably, the composition may comprise between 0 to 1 weight percent of dispersant.
Various foamers may be used in conjunction with the inorganic scale removing compound. The foamers are designed to increase the contact time on the surface, especially a vertical surface. Preferably, polyethylene glycol is employed as the foamer. A commercially preferred foamer composition includes 33 weight percent of Polyglycol P 425™ sold by Dow Chemical Company of Midland, Mich. and 67 weight percent of Tegobetaine S™ sold by Goldschmidt Chemical Corp. Preferably, the composition comprises between about 0 to about 1 weight percent of foamer.
A gelling agent may be employed with the inorganic scale removing compound. The gelling agent is designed to increase the contact time with the surface, especially a vertical surface. Preferably, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is utilized. A commercially preferred gelling agent is Methocel 311™ sold by Dow Chemical Corp. of Midland, Mich. The composition preferably comprises between 0 to 1 weight percent of gelling agent.
The present invention is also directed to a method for decontaminating a surface. The method includes providing a surface having an organic contaminant, and contacting the surface with the composition so as to decontaminate the surface. The surface may be coated or uncoated. Suitable examples of coatings which may be on the surface include phenolics and rubber-lining.
Any conventional technique can be employed to contact the composition to the metal object. Contacting of the object may be accomplished by spraying, immersing, showering, etc. After contacting, the object is preferably subjected to a water rinse. This invention accomplishes the rapid, safe removal of organic residues from surfaces and containers. The invention is biodegradable (OECD Method 301D), water dilutable while maintaining effectiveness, and has a flash point above the RCRA limit (>140� F.).
In a preferred embodiment, the method further comprises separating the composition from the contaminant such that the composition may be re-used. This may be done by any known means, such as by heating the composition and contaminant. Specifically, the composition and contaminant are typically present in the form of an emulsion. Upon application of a water rinse, de-emulsification of the entrapped contaminant occurs allowing for minimal waste volumes and re-use of the composition of the invention with no cross-contamination.
The method of the invention also may include applying an inorganic scale removing compound to the surface so as to remove inorganic scale that may be present on the surface. The inorganic scale removing compound may be applied by any suitable means known to the skilled artisan. For example, such compounds could be applied to the surface in a dip tank with or without agitation; sprayed onto the surface at low to high pressures such as 30 to 250 psi; foamed onto a surface using a foaming additive; and gelled onto the surface using an appropriate gelling agent.
The following examples are provided to illustrate the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting thereof.
A charge of 220 gallons of a composition according to the invention (33% terpene-based composition, 33% 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and 34% non-ionic Mazclean EP surfactant) was diluted with water to a total volume of 2000 gallons. A Butterworth system was used to spray the warm (140� F.) emulsion into the contaminated rail cars for approximately 2-4 hours, depending on the level of contamination and identity of the contaminant. The system circulated the chemistry. At two points the system chemistry was "recharged" with fresh chemical, a total of 55 more gallons of invention was added. Also, periodically, the contaminants were vacuumed off the top of the holding tank of emulsion, which was possible due to the feature of the invention that de-emulsifies the contaminant while maintaining the invention emulsion as re-usable. Waste disposal was then just the contaminant. A total of 91 rail cars were cleaned to the satisfaction of the inspectors, with no cross-contamination observed. The contaminants included ammonium nitrate urea and ammonium thiosulfate solutions, all of which would have given off large volumes of irritating ammonia vapors if caustic was used. With the invention, no ammonia odor was noticed at all. Table 1 shows the complete list of contaminants removed.

Scheduled maintenance of a distillation column of an oil refinery requires the removal of the foulants from within the vessel to allow the trays and other internal components to be inspected and serviced. In the past, this has been achieved by manually scooping out such materials, often with the assistance of several days of water washing and steaming to loosen the deposits within the column. Rather than this time and labor intensive cleaning, the solution of Example 1 (33% terpene hydrocarbon solvent, 33% 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and 34% non-ionic Mazclean EP surfactant) was chosen.
The refinery personnel pumped 550 gallons of the invention into a temporary holding vessel (reflux drum) with a pump capable of pumping out of the drum into the top of the tower. This would allow the invention solution (diluted with water) to cascade down to the lower elevations with the column and be circulated back to the reflux drum. The dilution of the invention wasto a total 4,000 gallons of water (14% solution). The solution was pumped to the top of the tower over 40 minutes, with no returns evident, so additional water was added to make the total 10,000 gallons (5.5% solution). The application temperature was 140� F. Operations continued intermittently for over two days; the refinery personnel would attempt to make as many circulations as possible during their day shift, and would continue to heat via steam overnight as the last volume of the invention solution was pumped through the relux line and allowed to cascade down through the trays overnight.
At the conclusion of the process, the solution was drained from the bottom of the columns and hauled from the unit via vacuum trucks. The unit supervisor commented that this was the first occasion where upon opening the manways, they could see the tops of the trays. Additionally, when the refinery personnel monitored for benzene levels during the vacuuming operations, the levels were all below the 50 ppm range. On three consecutive days, levels read 9, 8, and 3 ppm; monitoring was then no longer required and personnel were able to work without respirators as the residuals were vacuumed from the column's internals.
The removal of asphalt from carbon steel coupons using various compositions of the invention was investigated. A 50 mil layer of asphalt was coated on carbon steel coupons. A 500 ml solution (10% by volume) of Example 1 was prepared and heated to 65� C. For comparison, 500 ml solutions of 10% Serv-Tech™ A and 10% Serv-Tech™ B, both of which are sold by Serv-Tech, Inc. of Houston, Tex.; and 10% U-657 Zymeflow™ sold by United Laboratories of St. Charles, Ill. were prepared and heated to 65� C. The Serv-Tech� A and B solutions are described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,356,482 to Mehta et al. and are listed below:
______________________________________ Weight Percent______________________________________Serv-Tech A:D-Limonene 57%Plutonic 10R-5 90%Monamulse 653-C 17%Butyl Cellusolve 3%Macon 10 5%Water 9%Serv-Tech B:D-Limonene 57%Pluronic 10R-5 9%Monamulse 653-C 17%Igepal CO 530 8%Water 9%______________________________________
The coupons were placed in the solutions and agitated using a 1" stir bar at 500 rpm. The condition of the coupon and the solution was noted after every 30 minutes. The following results were obtained:

Smith's Sport Store officially closed its doors on Dec. 30, 2010 after 87 years of business in the St. Marys downtown area.
According to owner Jeff Buchheit, the biggest reason for the decision to close the business stemmed from people changing the way they spend their time.
"Hunting has changed dramatically over the course of the last 20 years, but it's been on a fast-paced changed in the last five," Buchheit said.
Members of the St. Marys Area High School Swim and Dive Teams put their teamwork to use during a recent collection drive for the Elk County Humane Society.
"We decided that as a team that we wanted to do something bigger than ourselves this year," said Megan Barber, girls' team co-captain.
The teams solicited donations prior to their Intersquad Meet on Dec. 17. The meet featured swimmers and divers from the high school, as well as junior high members of the Blue Tide team.
Through work-release fees and housing revenue, the Elk County Prison generated over $120,000 for 2010.
Speaking at a prison board meeting Tuesday morning, warden Gregory J. Gebauer indicated that total housing revenue for 2010 from housing out-of-county inmates was $64,250. Work-release fees collected for the year were $60,372.65.
During Monday evening's St. Marys Area School District Board of Directors meeting, a variety of items were approved regarding several aspects of the district.
Resident Marilyn Secco questioned the board as to why the National Anthem is not played during junior high and elementary sporting events.
Secco said school board member Bob Luchini informed her that it was school board policy.
Secco added that she believes having the National Anthem played at all grade level sporting events will provide a learning opportunity for the students as well.
