For look-a-likes they'll look at you while you're auditioning and if they think you look like a character then they'll keep u on board throughout the audition rather than cut u with their first string of cuts.
Be expected to learn a little dance routine.
If you have a resume of experience pertaining to what you're auditioning for and headshot then go ahead and bring those. I saw people with headshots and/or resumes to give to the casting people.
Good luck!

Calgary, AB (Sports Network) - Lee Stempniak had a goal with two assists, and the Calgary Flames posted their first win of the season by edging the Edmonton Oilers, 4-3.
Jay Bouwmeester registered a goal and a helper for the Flames, who got 17 saves from Miikka Kiprusoff.
"We did a good job of sticking with it tonight," Stempniak said.
After three consecutive losses, Bob Hartley was able to pick up his first win as the Flames' head coach.
Rookie Justin Schultz compiled a goal and two assists for Edmonton, which has split its first four games. Devan Dubnyk stopped 31 shots.
"As much as the effort was there in many situations, we deserted too much of our principles," said Oilers head coach Ralph Krueger.
Stempniak helped set up first-period goals by Mikael Backlund and Bouwmeester. Schultz scored a power-play marker with 41 seconds remaining in the opening frame.
Curtis Glencross lit the lamp 3:59 into the second period to put the Flames up 3-2. Stempniak then answered a power-play goal by Jordan Eberle with one of his own with the man advantage at the 14:57 mark of the middle stanza.
Sam Gagner was able to beat Kiprusoff, but only two seconds remained in the game.
The last time Calgary opened a season without a win in its first four games
was 1999-2000, when it started 0-3 with a tie ... Forward Jiri Hudler made
his Flames debut, while Calgary forward Roman Cervenka played in his first NHL
game. Hudler returned to the team after the passing of his father. Cervenka
missed the first three games with a blood clot.
Former Heisman Trophy winners Matt Leinart, Eric Crouch and Rashaan Salaam are among 76 Football Bowl Subdivision players on the ballot for election into the 2016 class of the College Football Hall of Fame.
The regular season in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series has reached its midpoint, with 13 races completed and 13 to go before the championship Chase begins.
The Houston Texans have signed defensive lineman Brandon Deaderick, who played last season with the New Orleans Saints.
The Toronto Blue Jays activated catcher Dioner Navarro from the 15-day disabled list following a 2-0 loss to the Washington Nationals in the opener of Tuesday's doubleheader.
Sacramento Kings forward Carl Landry underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn ligament in his right wrist, the team said.
The Montreal Canadiens revealed on Tuesday that defenseman Jeff Petry has agreed to terms on a six-year contract extension.

Jones Has No Intention Of Raising Cowboys Stadium Video Board
Published September 9, 2009
|Jones Thinks Video Board Important For
Aesthetics Of $1.21B Cowboys Stadium
MUDDLED SOUND: In Dallas, Jeff Mosier reported reviews of the sound quality at Cowboys Stadium "have been mixed, but loud and frequent criticism by many concertgoers has reverberated." Sound "ricochets off" the glass doors at each end zone and "contributes to a noisy atmosphere." That can be a "plus when the opposing offensive linemen can't hear the quarterback, but annoying for a fan listening to the lyrics of a favorite song." Dallas-based stadium sound engineers and consultants Wrightson, Johnson, Haddon & Williams "have been adjusting and tweaking the system for months and listening for the right balance." But "even when the system is fine-tuned, the sound is subject to the skills of the in-house sound engineers and traveling concert crews as well as limitations inherent in hearing clearly in one of the largest indoor spaces on the planet" (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 9/6). Also in Dallas, Mario Tarradell noted Cowboys Stadium is "huge, cavernous and circular -- three acoustic deterrents" -- but the "emphasis of a sporting arena" is sports. Tarradell: "Stadiums are bad places to hear and appreciate music. Period. However, megastars draw massive crowds, which require a colossal venue to accommodate everybody. Let the ticket buyer beware" (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 9/6).
SUPER EFFORT: In Dallas, Kim & Mosier reported tourism officials banking on Super Bowl XLV at Cowboys Stadium in '11 to "fill hotel rooms across North Texas have committed more than $2[M] in public and other monies to the effort." About $1.5M of that amount "comes from the Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau," but participants also "include communities as far-flung as Denton and Frisco, which are each more than 40 miles" from Cowboys Stadium. Those cities and others are "tapping revenues from hotel/motel tax collections" (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 9/6).
STAR ATTRACTION: The WALL STREET JOURNAL's Mark Yost writes Cowboys Stadium is "simply mesmerizing." Once inside, "what strikes you most is the open design," and it is "clear that the primary focus of this stadium is luxury." Yost: "I believe that 40 years from now ... Cowboys Stadium will be seen as monumental -- the 21st-century equivalent of the opening of Yankee Stadium in 1923" (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 9/9).

Let's see what happens
Think people have forgotten what love and commitment means anymore. The ability to truly fall in love seems so distant. I miss Sunday mornings cuddling to the sound of music or nature outside. Miss playful moments while cooking together. Miss laughing while people watching. Miss looking across the table and thinking to myself, "Damn she is so beautiful!" while her face is stuffed with food. miss holding that special someone when they are crying and not asking a word, just letting her get it out on my shoulder till she's ready to talk. Miss the feeling of knowing that she is with me for me and not the money or the way I look. What happened to being with someone and knowing that yes you both are beautiful today, but realizing that looks fade but love is forever. Real love is forever. Miss having someone look at me the same way 10 years from now the same way they did the day we met. Miss silly laughter over an inside joke between us. Miss making love. Not sex. but making real love. it feels so different. Miss sending flowers in the middle of the week just because she was on my mind. no special occasion. Miss time spent apart just to see each other and immediately become excited to be together again. I miss slow passionate kisses while standing in the rain. Anyway, drop line and say hi. p.s. yes these are my kids. they are the greatest blessing I could ever ask for. favorite Quote: " The magic isn't from getting married, it's in staying married."

I have now upgraded 4 sites with WordPress 3.5. Every single one of them have viewed totally blank and I've had to delete the WordPress files and re upload them manually.
I've made sure that plugins are updated and I've made sure the sites are backed up. I don't understand why the upgrade has done the same thing to each site I've done so far.
I'm dreading doing any more. I have over 20 more sites to upgrade and really don't want to be doing any more manual updates. It's extremely time wasting and for most of these sites it's not like I can charge someone for my time.
Think I'll hold off doing any further upgrades till I know that it's working properly.

PITTSBURGH -- Byron Leftwich has already shown the Pittsburgh Steelers he can finish. He may get the chance Sunday to prove he can start.
With starter Ben Roethlisberger's status for Sunday's game against the Colts uncertain due to his reinjured right shoulder, the Steelers (6-2) may give Leftwich his first start since last Nov. 18 with Atlanta.
A source told ESPN.com's John Clayton, however, that Roethlisberger has a decent chance of being able to play Sunday.

REMEMBER WHEN? Evansville East won 1987 Pony League title
100 years ago (1912)
n Despite being outhit and being down right from the start, the Evansville baseball team managed to put together enough runs to defeat the Cairo team by a final score of 7-3. Cairo jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first when Gourley hit a two-run triple to left field. Evansville was able to answer quickly though as they scored two runs in the second and three more in the third to take a commanding lead. Gosnell went 2-for-3 for the locals with a pair of doubles and two runs scored.
75 years ago (1937)
n Cliff McKelvey, the Evansville city champion, and Wayne Clark, a former Reitz High School golfing star, set the scoring pace in the Helfrich club championship tournament qualifying as they each shot a two-over par 75. McKelvey finished both nines at one over, but Wayne Clark fell two strokes late in his round to tie the city champion. Dan Scism was one stroke back of the leaders with a 76 and Val Euler finished the last nine at even par to grab fourth place with a 79.
n Jasper's American Legion Baseball team became one of the four teams that will fight for the state championship after they defeated Seymour by the score of 15-5. Jasper got down early in the game, but came back with six runs in the fifth inning that gave them the lead for good. Pfeffer provided the big hit of the inning and of the game with a three-run home run to left field that gave his team the 5-3 advantage. Sermersheim finished 3-for-5 for Jasper with a double and three runs batted in.
50 years ago (1962)
n The Evansville Funkhouser American Legion baseball team shut down the Mt. Vernon team behind the fantastic pitching of Steve Schroer and won by the score of 5-0. Schroer was dominant the entire game and pitched nine solid innings, allowing just two hits the entire game and striking out nine Mt. Vernon batters. Mickey Martin provided some much needed offense for the Evansville team as his two-run triple in the third inning game his team the 3-0 lead.
n Ten-year-old Patti Smith of Evansville broke a national record and finished with four first places and two second place finishes in the seventh annual Miami Valley swimming championships. Patti knocked nearly six seconds off the 200-yard individual medley with her time of 2:52.2. Patti also won the 50-yard backstroke, the 50-yard breaststroke and the 100-yard freestyle in her record breaking performance. Her time of 40.3 seconds in the breaststroke took 1.4 seconds off the meet record.
25 years ago (1987)
n Evansville East baseball team beat the Rural American team by the final score of 14-8 to win the state Pony League championship title that was played at Wesselman Park. The Evansville team had their bats working for them the entire tournament and continued to drive in runs. Mark Schellhase had two of East's five home runs, and Hank Wheeler added a grand slam in their championship victory. Schellhase had five home runs and Wheeler had four in the three-day tournament.
n Rob Turner of Indianapolis Chatard scored touchdowns on a 27-yard reception and a 47-yard punt return to lead the South to a 24-7 victory over the North in the annual Indiana High School All-Star football game. Rob Hufty of Columbus East also had a 50-yard field goal and Darrick Brownlow of Indianapolis Cathedral scored on a 3-yard run as the South snapped a two-year losing streak and took an 11-10 lead in the annual Shrine Bowl series.

'Rizzoli & Isles' Will Say Goodbye To Cast MemberBy: Emily Greene - March 19, 2014
Last August fans of Lee Thompson Young, as well as those of Rizzoli & Isles, were shocked to hear that Young had died from an apparent suicide.
Production of Rizzoli & Isles halted for a bit after Young's death. At the time show creator Janet Tamaro said in a statement, "Everyone at Rizzoli & Isles is devastated by the news of the passing of Lee Thompson Young. We are beyond heartbroken at the loss of this sweet, gentle, good-hearted, intelligent man. He was truly a member of our family. Lee will be cherished and remembered by all who knew and loved him, both on- and offscreen, for his positive energy, infectious smile and soulful grace. We send our deepest condolences and thoughts to his family, to his friends and, most especially, to his beloved mother."
Young's death had many wondering how the show would address his passing in the upcoming season.
On Wednesday, star Angie Harmon took to Twitter to let fans of Young and the show know they would be addressing Young with "love, honor, and respect" in their upcoming fifth season.
The episode that aired after Young's death was dedicated to the actor with a memorial card onscreen that said, "In Loving Memory of Lee Thompson Young, 1984 – 2013." Silent footage of young playing his Rizzoli & Isles character Detective Barry Frost followed the memorial card.
During Tuesday night's season finale, fans and followers of the show and cast members noticed their absence on Twitter, where they can normally be found live-tweeting. Executive producer Jan Nash explained it was out of respect for Young.
Season 5 of Rizzoli & Isles will air June 17 on TNT.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Fight for Sight, Inc., New York, NY, USA
Fight for Sight fills an important need in developing the careers of young people. It does so by funding research grants to undergraduate and graduate students working in the laboratory of a mentor (who are leading scientists), giving the exposure to an actual research project and experience in preparing a proposal. In addition, FFS funds grants to postdoctoral fellows to provide them with further training in research and proposal writing, again in laboratories of leading vision scientists. Finally, FFS also provides startup grants to new young faculty members to enable them to initiate their research programs. This latter function is particularly important as there are few avenues for new faculty to obtain outside funding. Grants from the NIH usually require significant amounts of preliminary data and FFS grants are one of the few ways new faculty members can gain the funding to obtain such data. Funding from FFS is important in helping to feed the pipeline of researchers and give future research stars a chance to succeed. The first research grant I received as a new faculty member (24 years ago) was from FFS and it was critical in helping me start my new laboratory. Since then I have become internationally recognized for the work that my laboratory has done and I have trained several doctoral students, residents, masters students, and visiting scientists. Because I feel FFS is so critical in helping to develop future vision scientists I have been volunteering to review grants for several years now and three years ago agreed to chair one of the review committees. Even though this requires a significant time committment it is important. FFS is unique in that there are few, if any, organizations that fill this particular niche.
More Feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
seeing young researchers go on to successful careers making important advances in vision.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
dedicated, caring, and helpful.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
provide more support for young scientists by giving larger awards and more of them.
Ways to make it better...
they were able to distribute more funds.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
administratively coordinating the review process and raising more funds for research.

How can you not offer a price adjustment when you change the price next day? I'll return the item instead which will end up costing you a more to process the return than to adjust the price and you end up with a mad customer as well.

Hi W,
I had the same problem at first with no sound! As you have probably figured out by now, you need to go to 'set up' and choose 5.1. Evidently, the Ultimate Edition is only set up for that. If your disk is like mine, you should then be fine.

Expert: Fall River's rush job a gamble
Says city should mull casino impact
Says city should mull casino impact
Fall River Mayor William Flanagan's goal of opening the state's first casino through an alliance with Foxwoods, announced just yesterday, is bold but potentially perilous, an industry expert said.
"I hope these people know what they're getting themselves into," Boston College professor and gaming expert Richard McGowan said. "I just wonder if they realize what some of the impacts (of a casino) could be. It does hit me that the city is seemingly desperate to get this revenue. Maybe they figure they have nothing to lose."

Controlling the cross-sectional characteristics of moving tow lines by providing monitors and positioning devices so as to improve stuffer box crimp uniformity. The mass distribution profile of a filamentary tow band is continuously measured as a function of the width of the band, and the information obtained is used to change the position of the band when a deviation from a predetermined value is noted. Positioning devices are used to carry out the movement or adjusting of the band in accordance with a signal so as to correct the deviation and present to a crimping apparatus, such as a stuffer box crimper, a band having a uniform mass distribution profile.
1. A method for controlling a mass distribution profile of a tow band width of a moving tow band at a predetermined value, said method comprising: sensing the mass distribution profile of the tow band across the width of the moving tow band; comparing the sensed mass distribution profile to a predetermined value of the mass distribution profile and determining the difference between the sensed and predetermined mass distribution profile; generating a signal proportional to said difference; and moving at least one positioning device in accordance to said signal to adjust a position of the tow band and thereby adjust said mass distribution profile toward the predetermined mass distribution profile.
2. An apparatus for controlling a mass distribution profile of a moving tow band width, said apparatus comprising: means for sensing the mass distribution profile of the tow band across the width of the tow band; means for comparing the sensed mass distribution profile to a predetermined mass distribution profile and generating a signal proportional to the difference between the sensed and predetermined mass distribution profiles; and positioning means movable in accordance to said signal for adjusting a position of said tow band so as to adjust the mass distribution profile toward the predetermined mass distribution profile.
This invention is concerned with the production of synthetic fibers. It is particularly concerned with that step in fiber production wherein a plurality of tow bands of drawn continuous filaments are guided to form a composite bundle array suitable for crimping in a stuffer box crimper.
Various types of equipment have been used to converge and shape tow of fibers for stuffer box crimping. However, as production methods change and different products are processed on the same equipment, the apparatus used in production must be changed or adjusted. These changes are normally done manually by operators at the beginning of production runs and seldom are checked throughout the run. Typically the operators make visual checks of the crimp uniformity tow shape and edge position to determine the appropriate adjustments for the guides.
There is a problem with visual checks and edge measurements in that they do not account for variations in tow thickness between the edges, i.e. uneven tow mass distribution which results in non-uniform crimp.
Most synthetic staple fibers are given an appreciable amount of crimp to facilitate their conversion into spun yarn and, in the case of carpet fibers, to improve bulk and coverage to enhance apparent value of the final product. Most commonly, this crimp is established by passing a plurality of tow bands of drawn continuous filaments through a "stuffer box" type crimper as disclosed by U.S. Pat. No. 2,311,174 to Hitt. In that crimper device the bundle of continuous filaments is led into the nip of two rolls and forced into a restricting chamber against a movable gate.
Pressure applied to the gate by an air cylinder or spring causes the bundle to fold back upon itself and crimp is formed. The back pressure applied to the gate, the nip roll pressure, speed and denier loading of the crimper establish the crimp level and geometry (frequency and amplitude) of the crimp. The Hitt crimping device and most commercially available crimpers can handle relatively wide variations in bundle thickness uniformity. This can result in the crimpers producing a wide variation in across-the-band crimp variability without detection or upset. Since crimp loading on most commercial crimpers can be varied across a broad range of from 50,000 to 400,000 denier per inch of roll loading, considerable variability in tow geometry and crimp level can occur, especially at high denier loading without process upset or visual observation of change. If the tow band fed to the crimper is not uniform, it will not be evenly squeezed between the feed rolls of the crimper which results in non-uniform crimp both across and along the tow band. In extreme cases fiber damage can also occur from localized slippage or abrasion. Thick sections are gripped more positively and crimping force is more effectively transmitted to these sections resulting in higher crimp. Conversely, thinner sections transmit load less effectively which results in low crimp regions. After crimping, the tow should also have the crimped fibers uniformly intermeshed so the bundles hold together without splitting which impacts on downstream process uniformity such as cut length. Hence, the distribution of the tow fibers or filaments preparatory to crimping is an important step in the conversion process and it must be controlled to achieve good crimp uniformity.
When dynamic changes occur, they must be detected and immediate corrective action taken if product uniformity is to be controlled within the tight limits demanded for quality spun products. To achieve high quality in crimp uniformity, tow entering a crimper must be shaped and formed to provide as uniform a cross section as possible.
The prior art utilized any number of devices such as stacking bars or rolls, curved bars or rolls, and edge sensing and automatic centering devices to accomplish the guiding task. These devices used alone or in combination, are normally set at the beginning of production runs based on visual inspection or limited crimp measurements of the tow by the operator and changes are seldom attempted unless a process upset occurs. Where automatic operation was attempted, it was limited to centering the edges of the tow and controlling its width with no concern for the actual tow cross-section characteristics or alignment required for across band crimp uniformity.
The invention is a process and apparatus to improve stuffer box crimp uniformity by monitoring and controlling the cross-section characteristics of moving tow bands as they are processed through a draw machine and enter a stuffing box crimping device. The apparatus includes one or more indexing tow band thickness or mass profile monitoring devices, a series of remotely operated motorized guides with position detection capability strategically located throughout the draw crimping process, an advisory or feedback control system capable of establishing and maintaining optimum guiding adjustments required to obtain a predetermined tow profile for crimp uniformity and a controller/operator interface which converts the information into a visual display of the tow cross-section profile for both operator interaction and diagnostic purposes.
The monitoring device mounted on a variable speed indexing mechanism with a position sensing capability can either traverse across the running tow lines or be parked in a fixed location to look at along end uniformity. The primary purpose of the monitors are to provide a continuous input of dynamic tow band cross-section characteristics for real time process control. This allows the operator optional advisory control system (ACS) or closed loop controller (CLC) to make fine adjustments to the guiding system to better position tows to insure a predetermined cross section is fed into the crimper.

FIG. 12 illustrates some of the cross-section conditions correctable by means of the invention.
In a staple draw process shown in Figs. 1A and 1B, undrawn yarn 83 is taken from large storage containers 82 and passed through a pretensioning device 80 consisting of a series of bars where tows are flattened and preliminary position is established. A number of tows are combined and passed through a band width control device 19, then fed into a draw machine feed module 90 which in turn feeds a draw module 91 which is normally run at 3.5 to 4.0 times the speed of the feed module. Individual drawn tow lines are leveled during drawing due to tension and, if properly guided at the infeed, their relative position on exiting the draw line is fixed. These drawn tow lines pass from the draw module into a commercial stacking device 40 which contains a series of pivoting rolls 70 where bands are stacked to form one composite band of width approximately equal to that of the crimper rolls 11. Additional shaping and width control is accomplished at rolls 41, 61 and 61'. Before feeding into the crimper 2, edge rollers 22 are used for final shaping and guiding.
One or more cross section characteristic monitors 7 and/or 7' are used to provide input for guiding adjustment by the operator or an automatic control system. Change of direction guide 21 is a flat roll having the same width as the crimper rolls and precision aligned with the exit roll of the draw machine and crimper rolls to feed the shaped tow into the crimper without disturbing its shape; its position is fixed.
Any of the several devices can be used to accomplish the task of monitoring tow cross section. FIGS. 2A and 2B show a preferred embodiment of a cross-section sensor 7 which consists of a near-infrared, non-contact, mass sensor mounted above a non-contact, reflector, reference plate 8. FIGS. 9A and 9B show another embodiment of a cross-section sensor 7" which consists of a contacting linear voltage differential transducer (LVDT) thickness sensor mounted over a contacting roller 21.
The mass sensor system (FIG. 2) for monitoring the composite tow band 1 as it enters the crimper 2 consists of an indexing traverse mechanism 3, driven by a variable speed motor 4 with an attached shaft encoding device 5 which feeds a signal to the ACS 6 indicating the relative position of the near infrared mass sensor 7 as it moves across the running tow band. The entire motion control device 110 comprises elements 3, 4 and 5.
A ceramic reflector reference plate 8 is located below the tow line to provide a constant reference background and to increase the reflected signal to the mass monitor. The sensor face 12 is set at angle 64 of nominally 10 degrees with respect to the reflector 8 to prevent a first surface reflection and to improve accuracy of the measurement.
Data for desired tow cross sections are entered into the ACS 6 either by a direct operator control station 9 or from a remote central process computer (CPU) 10. Typical data input is the location of the geometric centerline of the crimper rolls 11 and desired cross sectional profile. The primary interest for guiding purposes is the relative thickness or mass of the band, not its actual thickness or mass; therefore, calibration is not essential to operation of the profile monitor.
Non-contacting sensors 7 and 7' (FIG. 1) such as the Microquad model 8000 infrared moisture monitor manufactured by Moisture Systems Corporation, Hopkinton, MA are preferred for this application because it has sufficient resolution for this application and can provide multiple sensor outputs such as mass and moisture. The Micro-Quad 8000 operates by emitting near infrared light beams. It uses two light beams to measure the nylon content and two light beams to measure other content such as water. The first beam, called the reference beam, is not strongly absorbed by the nylon or the background. This is used to determine how much reflected light to expect. The second beam, called the measure beam, is strongly absorbed by the nylon. The Micro-Quad sensor then measures how much of the reference and measured beams are reflected back to the sensor from the material. The ratio of the reflected reference beam divided by the reflected measuring beam is proportional to the amount of nylon present.
Sensing area 13 for the mass monitor (FIG. 2B) must be kept small for precise monitoring to detect local perturbations. The Microquad device used had a 0.20 inch wide lane which proved adequate for this application; however, application of this technology is not limited to this range and both wider and narrower units can be utilized satisfactorily depending on the nature of the adjustment and sensitivity desired for discrete process control.
FIGS. 9A and 9B show a plan and elevation view of a direct contacting thickness sensor which can be used in place of a mass sensor. Sensing the thickness provides the same degree of cross-section profile control as mass as long as the density of the tow is essentially uniform. The thickness sensor consists of an indexing traverse mechanism 3' with sensor 7" attached, driven by a variable speed motor 4' with an attached shaft encoding device 5', all similar to that used with the mass sensor. The encoder sends position signals to the ACS 6. The traversing assembly is positioned adjacent the tow entrained around roll 21. The sensor 7" consists of a LVDT displacement transducer 100 urged toward the tow by spring 102 that holds ceramic button 104 in gentle contact with the tow. The ceramic button has a 60 degree conical tip with a 0.060 inch radius end to provide a narrow sensing area. Spring pressure should not exceed 200 grams to avoid product damage. The roll 21 is precisely aligned with the traversing sensor. The sensor 7" is attached to the traverse mechanism via pivot arm 106 which can be adjusted in two planes to align with roll 21. Cylinder 108 can raise and lower pivot arm 106 to engage and disengage the ceramic sensor button with the tow band. The roll surface serves as a zero reference plane for the sensor. When the sensor first detects the tow, it starts calculations for determining the thickness and centroid of the tow; it stops calculations when it returns to the base reference or zero point on the other side of the tow. A 0 to 24 volt DC signal is sent from the LVDT to a remote computing device. The computing device begins calculations for centroid when a preset threshold voltage is exceeded and ends when the sensor returns below the threshold voltage. A voltage signal is sent from this device to the ACS/CLC (6).
For read time process control of all guiding elements, an Advisory Control System (ACS) or closed loop controller (CLC) 6 (FIG. 7) may be used in conjunction with a series of tow band shape and size sensors. These are digital devices and appropriate signal conditioning units are provided for interface with the remote stepping motors and shaft encoding devices attached to the guides to support precise repeatable adjustment. Only one tow shape sensor is needed to measure and automatically control tow profile. However, two units allow improved precision and allow for control of individual band widths as well as profile. Output data from these sensors 7, 7' and 7" which include edge location and local mass are fed into the ACS/CLC processor 6 and output signals, proportional to centroid, are delivered to a series of remote positioning devices attached to guides located at strategic locations throughout the drawing process (FIGS. 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B) 18, 19, 21, 41, 22 and 40.
A set point for individual guide locations, plus other desired performance data, such as tow profile, is entered into the ACS system 6 from an operator console 9 or from a central process computer 10. Position of individual guiding components is fed back to the ACS/CLC 6 from shaft encoding sensors located at each guide 33 and 33', 44, 44' and 44", 53 and 53' and 60 and 60' (FIGS. 1 and 3-6).
The cross-sectional measuring devices 7, 7' and 7" can either be fixed to monitor portions of the cross section or traversed to monitor the entire band. When traversing, the devices typically scan a 12 inch cross section in 30 seconds. However, they can be operated across a broad range depending on the tow speed. Index rates should be established based on process dynamics to provide a realistic input of actual variability.
A manually adjustable entrance guide 18 (FIGS. 1 and 3A) is used when only one mass detector is in use. This unit moves left and right to position the entire group of tow lines entering a draw line across the face of the draw rolls. This guide consists of a series of adjustable pins 26 which can be manually adjusted and which are mounted on a common shaft 27. A set screw or detent 28 is provided to secure the pin at the desired location. A pair of restraining bars 29 and 29' are provided to keep the moving tow band captive between the pins. The guide bars and pins are mounted in a frame 30 attached to a motorized slide 31 which is driven by motor 32. A shaft encoding device 33 signals the ACS/CLC 6 of the guide's location.
Entrance guide 19 (FIGS. 1 and 4) is used in place of guide 18 when additional mass detector 7' is used and individual band width control is desired in addition to cross section control. This guide moves left or right to center the total mass and individual pins 35, mounted on rotary tables 34, 34' and 34" can be rotated based on a signal from a remote sensor 7' to adjust the width of individual tow bands entering the draw line. This unit is mounted on a motorized slide 31' driven by a motor 32'. Its location is sensed by an encoding device 33' with final control data sent to the ACS/CLC 6. Mass monitor 7 identifies the location of the entire tow and individual band width is detected by sensor 7'.
A commercial post draw stacking guide 40 (FIG. 1) which is capable of stacking individual tow lines on top of each other and positioning the combined group of lines in a specific location for later entry into the crimper, is included for overall position control. Position sensors 60 and 60' provide operator input as to guide position with respect to a home position.
Convergence and shaping guide system 45 (FIGS. 2A and 5A) near the entrance to the crimper is capable of altering the inlet profile to the specific shape needed for optimum side to side crimp uniformity. A preferred profile is a generally flat tow cross section with slightly fat edges in the last 0.100-0.0150 inch to offset the side wall friction of the stuffing box. The shaping guide 41 (FIG. 2) used in conjunction with two flat rollers 61 and 61' is provided as a final trim device to shape and size the band entering the crimper. Guide 41 is mounted in a base 42 which is attached to a motorized two axis adjustable slide and turn table unit 43. Each axis has its own position detection encoding device 44, 44' and 44" which feeds signals to the ACS/CLC unit 6.
Edge shaping guides 22 and 22' in FIG. 6B are placed on either side of the tow entering the crimper. They consist of a pair of motorized slides 50 and 50' driven by motors 52 and 52' with shaft encoding devices 53 and 53'. These guides are set manually by the operator. Manually adjusted guides can also be used in this operation. However, they are not preferred because they do not allow the operator to see the change on his monitor as cross-sectional scans are made.

Possible logic functions for operation of the automatic system are:
1. Shift the entire cross section left or right to move the dynamic centerline of the running tow line to correspond with a preset geometric centerline using guides 18 or 19.
2. Without changing the centerline of the mass, change the tow profile to meet a predefined profile by moving the individual tows making up part of the lines left or right to alter the cross section using 19.
3. A mixture of 1 and 2.
4. Using the shaping guides system 45 and edge guides 22/22' to change the profile of the band by raising 41 to narrow or lower 41 to widen the band or rolling 41 left or right to alter the side to side shape. Use edge guides 22 and 22' to make minor adjustments to the band as it enters the crimper to offset side wall frictional effects.
Typical examples of control modes follow to illustrate the flexibility of the proposed invention (FIG. 7):
Automatic movement of guides by ACS/CLC based on preprogrammed logic instructions from a current location to a new set point location based on an encoded measurement indicating a deviation from a predetermined set point. The use of encoding devices to sense guide positions is preferred but other sensors such as LVDTs may be used.
The sequence of events for automatic guiding consists of:
1. Monitoring the cross-sectional mass of the moving tow band at a predetermined frequency.
2. Calculation of the mass centroid using equations in the central process unit 6.
3. Comparison of actual mass profile and centroid with predetermined standard stored in the central process unit 6 or remote computer 10.
4. Determination of required action by ACS 6 if measured profile does not correspond to goal shape per pre-established action elements in the ACS 6.
5. ACS or closed loop controller 6 sends signals to remote guides to move a fixed distance to offset measured error.
6. Feedback by guide sensors as to new position after action completed.
7. Rescanning of tow mass by sensor 7, 7' or 7" to confirm adequacy of adjustment, and additional action if error not totally resolved by first adjustment.
8. Notification of action to operator and recording in remote computer of upset period for possible later removal of off standard crimped product.
From a visual cross-sectional display to the operator from a CRT, display panel, or typewriter, a manual signal is sent to ACS/CLC from the operator control station to relocate the guide(s) to a new location, or at his option the operator can physically adjust the guide(s).
An example of the guiding sequence for an integrated draw line containing several guiding elements is as follows:
From mass sensor 7, 7' or 7" the centroid for a given mass profile is calculated to establish the dynamic centerline of the running tow line. The calculated centerline position is compared versus a desired centerline preset by the operator from console 9 or input from the process computer 10. If the deviation detected is greater than some acceptance dead band, a set point for one of the ACS guides is determined and instructions to the device are sent to move to a new location.
The centroid is calculated using well established procedures for determination of the centroid of an area as defined in "Vector Mechanics for Engineers (Statistics and Dynamics)" by F. P. Beers and E. R. Johnston, Jr.
If the instructions require the selected guiding element to move beyond a predetermined maximum, two commands would be issued and coordinated to move a pair of guide units to center the range of each component. Updates are sent after each traverse of the sensors 7, 7' or 7" until the system is stabilized. If corrective action necessary for any guide exceeds its capabilities, the operator is automatically notified of the condition.
The following lists some cross-sectional conditions illustrated in FIG. 12 that can be controlled with the system of the invention:
______________________________________CROSS-SECTIONCONDITION ADJUSTMENT______________________________________1. Individual Band Manually adjust pin width difference spacing 26 on guide 18, or Automatically adjust pin spacing 46 and 46" on guide 192. Centroid differences Move 18 or 19 left or right to center mass, Roll 41 right or left to shape band, and adjust horizontal position of 41 to stay on centerline of crimper with 443. Improper stacking Position 18 or 19 on crimper centerline to center midline, or Manually move stacked band 65 and 65" left, Adjust individual band wide line 65' and 65" by rotating 35, 35' and 35".4. Improper composite Narrow band by raising band width (too 41 with 44". wide)5. Off crimp at edges, Adjust edge guides 22 and band in limits 22' via motors 52 and 52', (operator visual Alter band width as needed check) by raising or lowering 41.______________________________________
Entrance guide 19 is positioned to feed the tow bundles about the geometric centerline of the crimper.
Entrance guide (FIG. 4B) pins 35 through 35" spacings 46 through 46" are set to obtain the desired individual line widths. Tow widths vary depending on the number of lines fed into the system and number of lines to be stacked.
Stacking guide (FIG. 6) 40 is set to position each ribbon of equal size on top of each other.
Rolling convergence guide 41 (FIG. 5) is set as follows:
Elevation function 44" is adjusted to feed a ribbon 0.125-0.0200 inch wider than the crimper roll width.
Horizontal position function 44 is set on the crimper roll geometric centerline.
Angular position function 44' is set at zero degree. (Note: crimper 2 must be precision aligned to adjacent guiding rolls at installation.)
Shaping guides 22 and 22' are set to 0.125-0.200 inch less than the crimper roll width to prevent rubbing of edge filaments against the side wall of the stuffing box. Compression of the tow at the nip rolls of the crimper causes the tow to flatten out to an even ribbon. Rolls 22 and 22' are set equal distance from the centerline of the crimper rolls. After preliminary positioning the composite tow to an approximate width and profile, the line is ready for startup.
Differences in equipment and product properties as tows are processed causing tracking errors which create variations in tow band profile which in turn results in crimp variation.
Migration of the tow lines due to tracking error is usually over a long period of up to several minutes and, therefore, gradual changes in guiding are needed to retain optimum across band profile control. To offset these tracking errors and to provide more precise profile control, guide 45 is used for trim control. Operation of the integrated guiding system is based on the following relationships for adjustment:
Raise roll 41 to narrow the band.
Lower roll 41 to widen the band.
Rotate roll 41 about its centerline to alter cross-section.
Because the guiding system 45 is not on the centerline of the moving tow line, X-Y adjustment is needed to retain the centerline adjustment whenever the guide is rolled left or right. An algorithm is provided in the ACS to maintain the relationship; functions 44, 44' and 44" are used for these corrections.
Logic sequence (FIGS. 8A and 8B) for automatic control is provided to identify control elements and order of guiding adjustments. Operation in automatic mode can start by using data from the previous shutdown position or from the manual startup centerline reference point. The machine operator selects the desired mode of operation prior to starting the draw line and in the case of fully automatic sequencing the following operations would occur:
The line runs at jog speed of 50 to 75 ypm until a full cycle of the shape and position monitors are completed, about 30 seconds.
If the tow elements and composite band are within the preset limits, the line goes to full speed operation of 200-700 ypm.
If outside the limits, the ACS/CLC 6 computes a new position for each guide element based on the error identified and it sends a signal to move the guides. Shaft encoding devices provide information so the ACS knows when the proper position is reached.
The monitoring devices 7, 7' or 7" are scanning during the reposition operation and recomputations are constantly updated every 30 seconds until the line is within limits.
During normal operation the tow band shape is continuously scanned and guiding updates are performed as needed. Any out of limits production is recorded in the ACS and the machine operator is notified of upsets.
Variations in crimp, as determined by manual measurement of crimps per inch (CPI), across and along the tow band show that transverse crimp control can be substantially improved by use of this system. More particularly, FIG. 11 shows the results of monitoring a tow band profile by use of the thickness monitor of FIGS. 9A and 9B and manually adjusting the guides accordingly before collecting the sample for data analysis. Notice that the standard deviation for the edges has improved considerably compared to the sample of FIG. 10 taken using conventional guiding techniques under the same operating conditions. The mean CPIs for the left, middle and right vary only from 7.13 to 7.21 to 7.34, respectively, which is more uniform that the variations in FIG. 10. At a length along the sample, say 18", the middle CPI is about 7.4, the left is about 6.8 and the right is about 7.8 for a range of variation of 0.9 compared to 1.6 at 18 inches for FIG. 10, an improvement in cross section uniformity.
Along-end-variations are due to changes in applied crimping force which occur as the stuffer box gate 47 moves in response to crimped product flow through the crimper. Improved side to side crimp control achieved through improved guiding reduces the amplitude of this motion, thereby improving the overall crimp uniformity both across and along the tow band; it also improves stability of the crimping process.

'Harry Potter' And Blu-Ray Boom Keeps German Video Market Steady
Third quarter revenue tops $1.2 billion as Blu-ray sales jump 38%.
COLOGNE, Germany – Germany's home video market held steady in the third quarter with the continuing Blu-ray boom compensating for declining sales of traditional DVDs.
Q3 sales topped $1.2 billion (€886 million), down slightly on last year's figures. But unit sales were up 3 percent to 78.6 million discs sold. The discrepancy is due to heavy discounting, particularly among German big box retailers and discount stores, which drove the average cost of a DVD down 3 percent to $15.3 (€11.3).
Sell-through of traditional DVDs continues to shrivel, with Q3 revenues falling some $72 million to $952 million (€701 million) in Q3. Increasing Blu-ray sales, which jumped 38 percent to $220 million (€162 million) over the same period, has taken up most of the slack. Because of the higher average price for Blu-ray discs, nearly a fifth of sell-through revenues (18.3 percent) came from the HD medium. Online digital sales jumped $8 million to $30 million (€22 million), significant growth but not yet significant volume compared with either DVD or Blu-ray.
Where online is making a difference is in the German rental market. Rental revenue held its own, with sales of $257 million (€189 million) for the quarter, thanks to Internet sales, which now account for 12.7 percent of the market. Blu-ray rentals were also stronger, up $12 million to $37 million (€27 million).
Warner Bros. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 lead the German sell-through charts for Q3 while the rental crown went to Sony Pictures' Adam Sandler/Kevin James comedy Grown Ups.

Phenominal property!
May 25, 2015
I'm just back from spending a week at this gorgeous cabin and must say that I was astounded with the cabin, the area and most importantly the wildlife that abounds there. I saw dozens of different bird species, squirrels, chipmunks and mule deer that were right off the beautiful outdoor deck. The cabin is superbly decorated and outfitted with everything that we needed for meal preparations. The beds were extremely comfortable and sitting enjoying the fireplace was a great treat in the evening. Also, we enjoyed the fabulous music selection that was available for our pleasure. The cabin was well stocked with condiments, so don't bother bringing mustard, salt and pepper and that kind of stuff. It's all there for your use. Though I was there for a week, I had friends who joined me for the first four days. They were just as enthused about the cabin as I am. We fished the Dream Stream and Eleven Mile Canyon and the fishing was excellent. The cabin is located just about half way between both of these gold medal fishing streams and I doubt there could be a better location available for a fisherman interested in enjoying fishing in the Colorado Rockies. My interaction with the owner, Noel was very cordial and he was most helpful in answering any questions that I had. If more than five stars were an option, I would rate this property a perfect 10 as it truly is a gem on the edge of the National Forest where you can immerse yourself in nature and forget about all of the pressures of everyday life. I have stayed in many vacation rentals all across this great land for a couple of decades now and assure you, I have never enjoyed any one of them more than I did this one. I'll be back to enjoy the cabin and the great fishing nearby again this summer. Tim Hare

Face-Off Legendary Rap Battles
Diss tracks are for wimps. When rappers really put it on the line, they go face to face, toe to toe, in front of a crowd. That's why it was so shocking when rumors spread over the weekend that Meek Mill and Cassidy had agreed to battle. Meek Mill has just dropped his debut album, projected to sell almost 200,000 units; Cassidy is still looking to regain his musical footing after being released from jail last year. Meek certainly had more to lose. And surprise, surprise — Meek recently quashed the rumors. "I'm not battling none of these n---as thats not popping!" he tweeted. "I'm popping some of these ni---s gotta pay me 2 do dat!" Although Meek and Cass won't take it to the stage, many other rappers have put their money where their mic is. Here, we break down rap's most legendary face to face battles. Get ready to rumble! —Alex Gale

Great Executive Desk
Denise from Tulsa, OK – Verified Buyer
I love, love, love the desk. It is very heavy and lovely to look at. Everyone notices this desk when they walk into the room. There are seven drawers and if you have a cordless keyboard the front on the middle center drawer drops down for you to use it for that purpose. Otherwise, you can use it as a pencil & pen drawer-- it is burgundy felt lined. There are two file drawers on the bottom of each side and the middle drawers on each side have wooden dividers in them that are adjustable. You can have 4 divided compartments or less or none at all. Then the top two drawers on each side are shallow and burgundy felt lined. These are details that I couldn't seem to find elsewhere. It is heavy-- somewhere around 400 pounds and it comes assembled. I called a glass place and had a piece of glass cut for the top. I had to go pick up some tracing paper and trace the top since it was an odd shape. I think somewhere around $150 or so for that. The chair I use with this is a skirted parsons chair. Ordered that from Carriage Court online. There you can pick out your fabric and the chair comes with a lifetime warranty. I have had this for over 2 years and it still looks like the day it came in the door. I have had no issues and it's used many hours every day. A great find and I believe Wayfair is the best vendor. I bought my first one from another vendor and it arrived so damaged that there was no way to fix it (and it still look good). I sent it back at my own expense per their policy (that I didn't know about when I bought it). Freight back was very expensive! I advise buying from Wayfair.
very distinguished
Kelemen from Atlanta
Beautifully crafted desk..I got it a couple months ago and just love it because it serves its purpose as shown in the pic. I have noticed some minor cracks in some of the trim along the rounded surfaces and i suppose it could be due to the strain from the design. Great for readingwriting and light computing since you don't want cables hanging off this beautiful desk (i have a separate work station where I run all my ethernet and power cabling. I would have given it a 5 star if it had drawer locks already installed. If you're gonna get it, be sure to pay for the extra in house delivery and set up coz it's a very heavy desk.
What a Beautiful Desk!!
Carol from Georgetown, ON – Verified Buyer
I ordered from Wayfair an executive desk and I have to say it is better than I had envisioned. Its Beautiful right down to the little details added!!! The quality is Top Notch...built SOLID at over 400lbs. I love my desk :) Also, customer service really needs some credit as I needed the desk shipped earlier than scheduled and the Lady I spoke to literally called the shipping company and helped to push shipment for me. Very nice and helpful :) Thank you Wayfair!!
Beautiful, solid elegant desk
Patricia from Fountain Hills, AZ – Verified Buyer
We are very happy with this beautiful desk. We did purchase the extra delivery and set up fee as this is a very heavy piece and it was being delivered to a second floor condo. We love the unique style. the only thing we would have liked is cord management in the top of the desk as we are using it for a computer as well. Other than that...we love it!
This desk is beautiful...
Karen from Humble, Texas – Verified Buyer
I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this desk. It is a very nice color and is perfect for my office The pros is that it comes in one piece and that a company moves it into your house for you if you pay the price. the cons is that it is a very heavy desk and cannot be easily moved due to the weight,
Absolutely amazing!!!
Katrina from China Grove, NC – Verified Buyer
After seeing this fully assembled in our office, we were really pleased with this selection. It does not disappoint. Although, we wish it had holes in the back of the desk to stick the computer cords through because all of the cords are totally exposed. Cons: No holes in the back of the desk to stick the computer cords through. All of the cords are totally exposed.
Amazing desk!
Cindy from Santa Barbara, CA – Verified Buyer
This desk is just beautiful!!! I am so happy with it. It is actually all one piece....and it's real wood! I would love one in my home office as well! Pros: Six drawers and a keyboard pullout that can be used as a drawer if not for that purpose. Cons: Best used with laptop since there is no hole in the desk. Too beautiful to cut!
FANINFRISCO from FRISCO, TX – Verified Buyer
PROS: Good value for the money, well constructed, looks premium. It also has a keyboard tray, two file drawers and 4 smaller drawers that work well and aren't shown on the photos. CONS: No system for cord management of your computer, very heavy. Comes crated and it took tools and several people to get it moved into the house. YOU SHOULD KNOW: It is very dark brown (not black) and a little shinier than shown.
Wonderful bookcase
David from EVANS, GA – Verified Buyer
This is the best bookcase I found online that mathches the size and design as I wanted it for my living room. High quality item and it was perfectly contained in the delivery box. Would recommend this piece of furniture to everyone who needs to add a modern and at the same time traditional style to the decoration of his house. Pros: Great value, no assembly involved. Cons: None
Very Good one
SUNIL from Tampa, FL – Verified Buyer
Looks as it is the picture. I was really not happy with the delivery folks. They didn't know how to handle it. I have couple of scratches and they spoiled my house. Products are good but delivery is big question.
