The present invention relates to a process for the production of monocomponent or bicomponent fiber spunbonded fabrics by spinning one or several filament-forming polymers from longitudinal spinning nozzles.
The production of fabric materials by spinning filament-forming polymers requires large-scale technical installations which are capable of spinning as many filaments as possible and depositing them into a fabric in as confined a space as possible, especially when different polymers are to be processed simultaneously in the most confined space. Here, working widths of over 5 m are often necessary for large-surface spunbonded fabrics, in which a large number of filaments must be deposited in great widths in such a way that there is achieved the highest possible uniformity of the surface deposition.
Fabric materials of different fiber polymers offer the possibility of achieving specific product properties; thus, by a combination of polyester as structure fibers and copolyester (with low softening point), polyamide or polypropylene as bonding fibers it is possible to produce high-strength web materials in widths of over 5 m, which are excellent)suited as tufting carriers. There, structure and bonding fibers are spun from separate spinning nozzles and deposited together into a mixed fabric. Further, with a combination of polypropylene and polyethylene (bonding component) there arise specially soft fabric materials. Especially voluminous spunbonded fabrics result when the components are spun in a side-by-side arrangement as heterofilaments from one spinning nozzle each with one-sided blowing with air and brought into crimping by reason of differing tension relations. Such spunbonded fabrics are especially suited for hygienic use.
Other spunbonded fabrics may consist of heterofilaments which are likewise spun from a spinning nozzle, but in core/mantle arrangement, in which the polymer component with higher melting point is the core.
The hitherto known spunbonded fabric processes yield either a high throughput, but a poor web pattern, or a very good and uniform fiber deposition, but only a low working velocity.
Neither processes nor installations are known which with sufficiently small construction space permit spinning at will either monofile, multifile or heterofile fibers in such a way that compact as well as voluminous fabric materials can be produced in webs of up to more than 5 m in width, without losses in respect to the surface uniformity, the overlapping and thorough mixing (in the case of separate structure and bonding fibers) and, accordingly, of the dimensional stability of the product when the operating velocity and the polymer throughput are set economically high.
The task of the present invention lies in giving a process and an apparatus for the production of spunbonded fabrics, with which the dilemma mentioned between product quality and production speed is overcome. In this connection the following demands in particular are to be brought into harmony:
Realizing many spunbonded fabric variants on one installation in large product widths with only a small space requirement;
Spinning as large as possible a number of filaments, optionally also from different polymers, either as separate fibers in high comingling or as bicomponent fibers in high surface uniformity in the deposition for the achievement of a good drawing and strength behavior of the fabric in longitudinal and transverse direction, in order to withstand high processing velocities without harm;
Spinning with high polymer throughput, in order to be able to maintain high machine velocities also in the possibly ensuing further treatment processes;
High overlapping and surface uniformity at will of the individual fiber layers in the deposition (for the production of absorbent layers with worked-in super-absorber powder).
The solution of the problem consists in a process with the characterizing features of claim 1 and in an apparatus with the characterizing features of claim 12. The subclaims allocated in each case relate to preferred process or further development variants and will be explained still in the following.
The present invention describes a so-called compact spinning process and an apparatus suited for it, which, on the one hand, make it possible to spin a large number of filaments in the most confined space and, on the other hand, open up the possibility, without complicated modifications in technical installations, of spinning at will both monocomponent and bicomponent filaments or mixtures of filaments and of depositing them in good thorough mixture into a uniform fabric. This advantage of simple variations permits, in a preferred process mode, making a mixed fabric of two different polymer components, as the one polymer component is spun on one of the double spinning beams and on the other the second polymer component, the different polymer filament rows forming from the two nozzle rows are cooled and gathered to a common filament roving extending over the working width, led into a common drawing-off channel and then deposited in common into a mixed fabric.
Another advantageous variant is suited for the production of bicomponent fabrics in core/mantle or side-by-side structure and is characterized in that the two different polymers are introduced in two spinning nozzle rows which comprise nozzles in mantle/core or side-by-side arrangement, that the component filament rows forming from the nozzle rows are brought together and deposited over the entire fabric processing width in a broad filament-strip band.
The one polymer constituent of a polymer component pair serves mostly for the fiber bonding in the fabric material structure and, therefore, is chosen with lower melting point than the second component, determining the fiber structure.
Here, bonding components of, for example, polyethylene can be combined with in each case higher melting polymers, such as polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, as well as polyamide. The corresponding components must be selected according to the field of use of the spunbonded fabrics made from them; thus, for example, in the production of tufting carriers or materials for bituminous lamination polyesters are taken as structure fiber, while for hygienic products polyolefins are generally used, although here, too, combinations of polyester and polyolefin as bicomponent fiber are thinkable, because in this case higher volumes of the fabrics can be achieved in crimping processes.
The selection of the polymer component pairs depends, therefore, on the particular purpose of use of the fiber fabric material to be produced, and preferred pairings are:
Polyester and copolyester, polyester and polypropylene, polyester and polyethylene, as well as polyester and polyamide.
Further polymer pairs can be polypropylene or polyethylene types with different molecular weight distribution and different melt flow indices.
Further possible are polymer combinations that differ through dissimilar additive substances, such as, for example, through high-polymer softeners, dyes and/or optical brighteners.
The 800 to 8,000 mm long double spinning beam of the invention with several rows of staggered longitudinal spinning nozzles has the great advantage of making it possible, in a compact manner of construction, to arrange a very large number of spinning nozzles, which through mutual staggering yield a continuous, broad filament row after the thread gathering. Hereby there can be achieved working widths of 6 m and above. The fact that the specific spinning beam is fitted with individual nozzles has the advantage that in case of disturbances individual nozzles can be quickly taken out and exchanged, which would be difficult and time-consuming with nozzles that covered the entire working width. With the nozzles of the invention, changes are possible within 20 to 30 minutes. The nozzle lengths amount according to the invention to from 500 to 700 mm with spinning hole row lengths of 450 to 600 mm, i.e., through the staggered construction, spacings of 40+40=80 mm must be covered by the oppositely lying hole rows.
With the so-called compact spinning process according to the invention one works with hole numbers of over 1,000 to over 10,000 per nozzle--depending on the denier of the spunbound fabrics to be produced or their individual filaments. Through the arrangement of the spinning nozzles in straight rows with the allocated blowing shaft and the sucking-off device, which extend in each case over the entire installation width, such high numbers of holes are possible because a rapid cooling of the filaments or filament row is assured, and, therefore, a rapid loss of stickiness.
Up to 30,000 and more filaments per spinning nozzle, therefore, can be spun, cooled and deposited into a spunbonded fabric. With working widths of 6 m on the compact spinning apparatus accordingly, 600,000 and more filaments can be deposited in the most confined space into a very dense, uniform web.
A preferred embodiment of the apparatus according to the invention for the convenient drawing of thread rows consists that between the lower edge of the spinning nozzles and the upper edge of the sucking-off and thread guide channel there are arranged deflecting rollers and/or drawing mechanism pairs.
Another execution, preferred for the especially uniform charging with filament rows over the entire working width, has longitudinal spinning nozzles which carry linear hole rows with hole numbers differing from the middle to the border zones.
A more thorough discussion of the invention, as well as its further achievable advantages, is given in the following with the aid of FIGS. 1 to 4.
FIG. 1 shows a form of execution of the compact spinning apparatus of the invention in plan;
FIG. 2 a vertical section through the schematically represented structure of the compact spinning apparatus;
FIG. 3 a variant apparatus with interposed drawing mechanism and
FIG. 4 shows in plan the arrangement of the spinning nozzles and their hole rows.
First of all, let FIG. 1 be viewed In the spinning beam arrangement with c there is designated the double spinning beam on which the spinning nozzles a and b are arranged. From the spinning nozzles a there can be spun in each case a polymer different from that spun from those designated with b--therefore, for example, from a polypropylene and from b polyethylene. By selection of corresponding nozzles and the appertaining formation of the melt feed, both from a and from b bicomponent filaments can be spun in the mantle/core or side-by-side execution.
As is evident from FIG. 1, an essential feature of the spinning beam is that the spinning hole rows 1 and 2 of the individual nozzles a and b are staggered to one another in such a way that the gaps 3 and 4 are overlapped in each case by the oppositely lying spinning hole row It is thereby achieved that the thread rows that emerge from the spinning hole rows are drawn downward and, as represented in FIG. 2 still to be discussed, are collected at g2, and yield a cohesive band of filaments over the entire width of the installation.
On the outsides of the spinning beam there is arranged in each case a blowing shaft with nozzles f, which cools the filament rows, and on the inside of the spinning beam there is present a sucking-off device d which eliminates the blowing air passing through the filament rows as well as the spinning vapors. The one-sided blowing in the production of crimpable filaments has the advantage of increasing their internal tensions, so that in a later expansion step a crimping can be achieved.
FIG. 2 shows schematically in section a compact spinning apparatus with the two spinning beams c, which carry the nozzle rows a and b. On both sides of the filament rows there are present the blowing nozzles f for cooling the filament rows, and in the middle the sucking-off device d, which at e receives the spinning vapors. The deflecting rollers g1 and g2 serve for the further conduction of the filament rows, which are introduced into the aerodynamic drawing-off channel h and with the aid of the air currents supplied through longitudinal slits drawn downward, stretched and fed to the collecting band j. Under the perforated collecting band there is arranged the sucking-off device i, which, after the fabric formation, takes up the excess air, while the formed fabric k is supplied to the further processing i.e. to the "consolidation", by which is meant bonding after deposition in a separate further step .
At point g2 the filaments already have a temperature at which they are no longer sticky. In impingement zone k, in the fabric formation, they are cooled to room temperature.
FIG. 3 shows an embodiment in which between spinning apparatus and fabric formation there was additionally interposed a mechanical drawing. With the aid of the deflecting rollers g the thread rows are mechanically stretched in the drawing mechanisms h and j.
A heating channel i is interposed to heat up the filament rows. After the stretching here, too, they are introduced into an aerodynamic shaft 1, which feeds them to the collecting band m with underlying sucking-off n, whereby there arises the fabric O. This is then fed to the consolidation installation.
FIG. 4 shows in plan, again in a cut-out, the arrangement of the spinning nozzles a and b with the hole rows c and d and with overlapping zones 1 to 5. In the production of mixed fabrics different polymers in each case are spun from the spinning nozzle rows a and b. In order to obtain a uniform charging with filaments over the entire working width, in the overlapping zones 1 to 5 and in the interlying regions in which filaments are obtained from both oppositely lying spinning nozzles, the spinning nozzles are arranged in such a way that a uniform filament row arises over the entire working width. That is, in the zone in which the spinning nozzles no longer carry any spinning hole rows (border zones of the nozzles) the oppositely lying spinning nozzles b contain correspondingly more holes.

Long commutes only for "chumps" now?
I was floored by all the great comments on my post yesterday on whether it's still worth it to embrace a long commute in order to get a cheaper home.
When I indulged in a little reminiscing about my father Lee's stoic approach to his long daily commute into Boston, I received a colorful retort from Lance. It made me chuckle, but it also gets at a key point - does it make sense for a family with young children and two working parents to settle for a long commute in order to get a less expensive home?
Here's Lance:
What you say is nonsense. Commutes "back in the day" may have been longer. But when the typical 1950's style dad came home from work, he didn't help with the kids or help clean up the house... He ate a hot dinner, cracked a beer, and put his feet up. A 12-hour work day is doable if you get to relax like Archie Bunker afterward... But 12 hours plus all the other responsibilities the average 2-income household parent has to deal with is not. Long commutes are for chumps."
Ah yes Lance, those were the days. But it does raise a good point. Throw in a long commute on top of ramped up work demands and day care pick ups and drop offs and you have a recipe for stress city.
Here's another comment, from Saltyrhino, that raised the stress issue as well.
"Scott, the one thing you forget is that when you were younger, did you have a dual income family? A lot has changed in the past 30 years. Houses have become so expensive that both parents need to work, and with this, a necessity to live closer to work. This facilitates the logistics involved in being part of a dual income household and raising a family. If houses came down to a place where one spouse could afford it, I'm sure that more people would consider the hour and a half commute, if it didn't involve paying for childcare, 2 cars, and all the other expenses that come with raising children.
Commute time seems to be one of the last things a working family can to do better their life."
Both Lance and Saltyrhino offer some great points here. Given the pressures on a two-income family, trading distance for a lower price then would seem to be a strategy better suited to a one-income family where one partner stays home.
Of course, just having two incomes hardly guarantees you can afford to buy the traditional suburban home within 495, let alone 128. My wife Karen and I needed both our incomes to buy our Natick fixer-upper back in 2002 - and we were hardly unusual.
Let's face it, unless you are loaded, Greater Boston is one of the toughest housing markets around.
All for now ...
OK, if you have made it this far into my blog post, I have a treat for you.
I am interested in interviewing buyers looking to crack some of the more expensive towns in Metro West - Weston, Wellesley, Needham, Dover, Concord, Lexington, you name it. The story will run in the Globe West section. In particular, I am seeking buyers trying to find relatively affordable homes in these towns - mainly listings that are well below the average price.

Thanks for the tips the gardener did mention painting it but I thought a climbing rose would look nice against the fence I did have a clothes line cover will have to look for it now
artjak this is my new garden photo what have i done wrong
And me as I record x factor so I can skip through it
I have just had my garden done with artificial grass and a border at the top of the garden with shrubs in also side borders with roses it looks so tidy now also a fish pond as before i had a shed a greenhouse and lots of tubs on the patio which was untidy
Landgirl Thank you for the reply didnt I send you grasses seeds last year did they survive
Artjack I will ask my son to take a photo when he calls round it crunches when you walk on it to pick the leaves up
Frank Ive always had jobs todo in the garden never to sit in and relax as the pond pump always need cleaning as well as the bird bath also adding new plants to the borders I will get rid of the tubs now as my daughter needs them to grow veg in
perhaps next spring and summer I will be able to as I have a garden chair I have never used and at age 78 I deserve a rest
My garden is lovely and tidy now I have a few shrubs in the top border philelphus camelia and a spirea sorry cant spell I have all the bulbs in the tubs to put in the borders now but its been so wet I havent done anything
thank you artjak cant wait for it to be finished which wont be for a while as the gardener has to dig up the old lawn also coming through the house with loads of bags
I have got rid of my shed and patio slabs and tommorow the greenhouse is going
my garden is a mess as all the rubbish will have to go to the tip i bought a storage box which my daughter coudnt put together to keep hand tools and garden stuff in
I am having artificial lawn put down when its all cleared also having the patio cleaned
I have a border at the side and hope to have one at the top of the garden so all the shrubs can go out from my tubs
also today a vicor gave me 10 fish i saw advertised to put in my pond as his leaked
I have a recycle bin full of pots and seed trays nobody seems to want
as everything is getting to much for me now
so now I am exhausted

Awesome sweet caring sarcastic and I LOVE to laugh also pretty good on a treadmill. Chive on
It's really hard to put me into text. I always say I'm an experience. I just love to have fun and laugh. Currently I'm working on enrolling at IUPUI for my bachelor's in Organization Leadership and supervision and minor in spanish. I'm down to earth and very caring. My heart is probably the biggest thing I have going for me. I honestly would like to find someone for long term and hopefully be the one. Some girls dream about their wedding day, I dream about the day I get to ask the question. How will I do it and all the different ways. I lOVE doing romantic things. In the past year I have focused on my health and getting healthier. I have quit smoking and lost 60lbs. Ive still got more weight to lose but that will happen in time. Id love to find someone who enjoys the gym about as much as I do now. I grew up in church all my life but im not your typical church goer. If you'd like to discuss that I'd be glad too! Well enough of my babbling feel free to write me! Mike

My favorite color is any bright green. I don't really have a favorite music genre, just listen to whatever. I do have a favorite instrument though and thats the Clarinet. Yup I play the clarinet and love doing so, but not as much as singing.
For fun I love to sing, play, clarinet and play with my dogs or work on my cars and hang out with my friends. I love to do custom work on cars in my free time. Sometimes we plan to do something and end up not doing anything. Which is just as fun.
The last book I read was The Wyvern's Spur by I can't remember. It is the second book in a trilogy. I love reading, that is if I ever get around to it. I havn't ready anything lately.

I have a single server running jetty as a web server. I run a proxy server at port
80 to decide whether a request is made for jetty or static file server using nodejs. My jetty is running at port
9000 and the other static file server is running at
9001. Here is my node proxy code;
var httpProxy = require('http-proxy');
var options = {
hostnameOnly : true,
router : {
'domain.com' : '127.0.0.1:9000',
'static.domain.com' : '127.0.0.1:9001'
var proxyServer = httpProxy.createServer(options).listen(80);
When I request a page from
domain.com it gives me this error;
{ code: 'ECONNREFUSED', errno: 'ECONNREFUSED', syscall: 'connect' }
It is supposed to redirect the request to jetty but it just does not, couldn't figure out why.

Holiday Goose A L'Orange
|12 Pound (1, Fresh / Frozen - Thawed)
|5 Medium, each cut in half
|Fresh thyme
|1 Bunch (100 gm)
|Bay leaves
|Dried thyme
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|1 1⁄4 Teaspoon
|Coarsely ground black pepper
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|Orange flavored liqueur
|3 Tablespoon
|2 Tablespoon
|Orange marmalade
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
1. Preheat oven to 400°F Remove giblets and neck from goose; reserve for another use. Trim and discard fat from body cavity and any excess skin. Rinse goose inside and out with cold running water and drain well; pat dry with paper towels. With goose, breast side up, lift wings up toward neck, then fold wing tips under back of goose so wings stay in place. Place 6 orange halves, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves in body cavity. Tie legs and tail together with kitchen string. Fold neck skin over back. With two-tine fork, prick goose skin in several places to drain fat during roasting.
2. Place goose, breast side up, on rack in large roasting pan (17" by 11 1/2"). In cup, combine dried thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper; rub mixture over goose. Cover goose and roasting pan with foil. Roast 1 hour 30 minutes. Turn oven control to 325°F; roast 2 hours longer.
3. Meanwhile, in small bowl, from remaining 4 orange halves, squeeze 3/4 cup juice. Stir in 1 tablespoon liqueur, cornstarch, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; set aside. In cup, mix orange marmalade with remaining 2 tablespoons liqueur. Remove foil and roast goose 45 minutes. Remove goose from oven and turn oven control to 450°F. Brush marmalade mixture over goose. Roast goose until skin is golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes longer. Transfer goose to warm platter; let stand 15 minutes to set juices for easier carving.
4. Prepare sauce: Remove rack from roasting pan. Strain pan drippings through sieve into 8-cup measuring cup or large bowl. Let stand until fat separates from meat juice; skim and reserve fat for another use (there should be about 5 cups fat). Measure meat juice; if necessary, add enough water to meat juice to equal 1 cup. Return meat juice to pan and add reserved orange-juice mixture. Heat sauce to boiling over medium heat, stirring; boil 1 minute. Serve sauce with goose. Remove skin before eating, if desired.

From the new issue of Portfolio:
Every week, the jumuah, or Friday prayer, is held in a large tent at the University of Tehran, with thousands of the faithful spilling out onto the surrounding campus. At each of these prayer meetings, the cleric on the platform clutches an AK-47 as he leads a chant of "Death to America! Death to Israel!"
Many of the chanters are not religious zealots. They're here because this weekly morning ritual is, in effect, a Washington cocktail party, a board meeting, and an audience with the pope all rolled into one.
For Tehran's leading politicians and businessmen, staying in favor with the ruling powers demands attendance, because in Iran, it's not just government that is fiercely theocratic; big business is too.

A Peek Inside And About A $100M Hillsborough EstateFebruary 4, 2013
A few photos from inside and about the 16,000 square foot de Guigne mansion and 48-acre Hillsborough estate have popped up on the Sotheby's website.
∙ Listing: Estate and Lands of de Guigne, Hillsborough – $100,000,0000 [sothebysrealty]
∙ A Mansion And 48 Acres In Hillsborough For $100M And A Wait [SocketSite]
Recent Articles
Comments from "Plugged-In" Readers
The place has the classic "old school" Hillsborough look. I was surprised to read yesterday that de Guigne is 75 since his ex-wife is so much younger (she went to my High School before it went co-ed).
hmmm, 75 is a bit old, but I would marry him to get to live at that property
@FormerAptBroker: I believe she was 30 and he was 47 when they married in 1984.

Dudmaston Estate
This section of the page features an image gallery, so if you're using a screen reader you may wish to jump to the main content.
An old family home with a modern twist...
Enchanted wooded parkland, sweeping gardens and a house with a surprise, Dudmaston is something unexpected in the Shropshire countryside. A much loved home for over 875 years you will find the family rooms scattered with photos and perhaps an odd pair of shoes or two peeping out from under a table. The unexpected galleries create a total contrast, with their formal, crisp lines. They were designed by the last owner, Rachel, Lady Labouchere, to house her and her husband's differing modern and traditional collections of art for the visitor to peruse.
The gardens provide amazing vistas and tranquillity while the orchard is the perfect place to relax and for the children to let off steam. For more stunning views and getting up close to nature head to Big Pool and Dingle woods, while the wider estate provides extensive walking routes for year round enjoyment.
Dudmaston Hall is the family home of Mr and Mrs Mark Hamilton-Russell.
Don't miss…
• Meander through the Dingle and compare views past and present.
• Take a stroll around Big Pool for uninterrupted views of the Hall.
• Collect the gardener's diary from outside the stable block and enjoy all the beauty that the garden has to offer in our top 10 trail.
• Find out what's in season in our Kitchen Garden and try it for yourself in our tea-room.
• Take a seat in the oak room and browse the family photo album
• Enjoy a travel through the Hall with the Labouchere's on their diplomatic journey.
The Wildflower Border begins to bloom,
The rockery top border was cleared in early 2014 to eradicate an outbreak of Phytophthora and wildflowers were planted for the summer. This proved to be so popular with visitors that we have decided to continue it for this year. Some of last years planting has already started to bloom so we currently have a sea of orange, however new planting has taken place so join us during the summer and watch how the colours change.
The Rockery re-opens
During the autumn of 2014, the Rockery experienced a small collapse which meant that it had to be closed. This gave National Trust surveyors the perfect opportunity to take a close look at the construction of this beautiful structure and especially the unusual herringbone effect and decide how best to conserve it. In the past few weeks, stonemasons have been reconstructing the damaged area and their work is now complete. Take a look when next in the garden, the effect is like a work of art.
Meet the family
Shropshire is a county that never ceases to surprise and Dudmaston is surely one of the reasons why. Representing over eight and a half centuries of history the house, parkland and woodlands have been through a succession of changes culminating in architectural as well as historical wonders. Throughout these changes it is remarkable that there has been no break in family lineage. Having succeeded my Great Aunt upon her death, we, and my parents before us, are still continually finding new and exciting places to explore in this peaceful and tranquil corner of the county. It is our hope that, working together with The National Trust, we continue to add to the fusion of old and new which gives Dudmaston its unexpected unity – and Elfrida, I and our children Oscar and Rachel welcome you to our home and hope that you get as much enjoyment from the estate as we do.

|White vinegar
|7 Cup (112 tbs) (5% acidity)
|1 Cup (16 tbs)

|Whole peppercorns
|4 Teaspoon
|Mustard seed
|4 Teaspoon
1) In a large bowl, place the onions and sprinkle salt all over.
2) With water, cover the onions.
3) Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight.
4) As per the manufacturer's instructions, prepare the half-pint canning jars, lids and bands to be used.
5) In a small stockpot, combine together the vinegar and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil.
6) Reduce the heat and ensure that the mixture stays hot.
7) Drain the refrigerated onions and wash with cold water.
8) With the onions, fill the sterilized jars.

The Crucible just got a whole lot more crowded.
The Destiny beta is now open to all PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners, Bungie has announced.
In the announcement, Bungie says that the open beta starts at 4 PM PDT. You'll need PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Gold to play online, naturally. Download advertisements will appear directly on the console once it rolls out.
"We have watched your adventures with great interest, and listened to your feedback. Your missions have provided us with volumes of discoveries we can use to prepare for the launch of Destiny in September," the announcement states. "Our work is not done. There is more we can learn. To make this happen, we need more Guardians to play. This is, above all else, a test."
The beta arrived for PlayStation 4 pre-orders first, then expanded to Xbox One this week. It seems to have generated plenty of interest, seeing as supply of the $150 "Ghost Edition" was running so short that retailers have been forced to cancel preorders. Activision released a statement about it today, saying the company and Bungie intended it to be "truly limited."
IGN: Destiny Beta Now Open to All
IGN says that its open to "all," next-gen only platforms. I don't think its necessarily on open to any PS3 nor 360 people, also you still have to pay the $10 per month subscription, etc.
@blu3v3nom07: Nope, it's on all consoles according to this FAQ. http://www.bungie.net/en/View/Bungie/DestinyBetaFAQ

It's telling me I can't download the beta because I don't own Destiny. buh?
(I'm on PS4)
EDIT: Nevermind, I found it under demos.
Is this not available in Europe/outside the US? Found it on the US PSN site but can't find it anywhere on the EU PSN. Hearing a few others say the same.

I'm so excited!!!! When I had my DS in 2009, I developed severe PPA to the point where I couldn't eat (lost 45 pounds by the time he was 4 weeks old), sleep or function. I had to be hospitalized for 4 days and finally determined which meds worked for me.
I had heard about doing this and thought it was a little bit strange but I was desperate to try something different this time. I would never eat it raw but I figured I could do the pills.
I'm happy to report that I haven't had ANY issues this time. I feel great, sleeping great, my appetite is great and I'm enjoying my little guy so much.
My OB wasn't totally on board with me doing this but understood why I did. Now she's so happy with my results that she wants the midwives in the office to learn how to do this...
Anyways, had to share! Yes a little bit unusual but I'm convinced it helps =)

A Workshop with DAVID WHYTE
10:00am to 4:00pm
West Point Grey United Church, 4595 W. 8th Ave. (at Tolmie St.), Vancouver, BC
Human beings cannot quite believe the depth, drama and even the disappearances involved in even the average human life. Each one of us grows almost against our will into a steadily unfolding story where the horizon gets broader and more mysterious, the understanding of loss and mortality more keen, the sense of time more fleeting and the understanding of our own mistakes and omissions more apparent. In the midst of this deepening we have to make a life that makes sense: there is no other life than the one that involves this constant beckoning, this invitation to the fiercer aspects of existence.
This will be a day spent with David Whyte - through poetry and the insights of poetry - looking at the fruitful discipline of first finding, then asking, ever keener and more beautiful questions; questions that do not produce easy answers but which help us to re-imagine ourselves, our world and our part in it, and most especially, questions which work to reshape our identities, helping us to become larger, more generous, more courageous; equal to the increasingly fierce invitations extended to us as we grow and mature.
Poet, Author, Lecturer
David Whyte's life as a poet has created a readership and listenership in three normally mutually exclusive areas: the literate world of readings that most poets inhabit, the psychological and theological worlds of philosophical enquiry and the world of vocation, work and organizational leadership. He holds a degree in marine zoology, an honorary doctorate from Newmann College, Pennsylvania, and is an Associate Fellow at Said Business School at the University of Oxford. The author of seven books of poetry and three books of prose, David has worked as a naturalist guide in the Galapagos Islands, and led anthropological and natural-history expeditions in the Andes, Amazon, and Himalayas. He brings this wealth of experience to his lectures and workshops. www.davidwhyte.com

From Purchasing to Profits
SAS uses its own SAS® Supplier Relationship Management to drive strategic sourcing
In the endless quest to improve margins, the first place a company looks is expenses: how to cut costs without compromising products and services. But what if that company is in the knowledge business – with no clear-cut supply chain costs to tie to quality outcomes? Faced with such a challenge, SAS looked into its own cupboards. Today, using SAS Supplier Relationship Management, the company is saving significant dollars while continuing to lead the industry in business intelligence software and maintaining one of the world's most coveted workplace environments.
Procurement as a Profit Center
"It's not just about 'buying things' anymore," says Southwick, "or getting the lowest price." PBS also considers on-time delivery, quality and payment terms, all of which affect total cost of ownership (TCO). SAS Supplier Relationship Management provides the intelligence that PBS needs to develop cost-effective strategies for purchasing, to determine the best vendors and to secure the most beneficial deals for SAS. "Without visibility of the entire spend," says Southwick, "all you have is price. With the SAS solution, you can also see where the product comes from and who is using it – areas where you can really add value."
From Cost Control to Consolidation, Clout
Other savings have resulted from the ability to identify active vendors and consolidate spending where appropriate. Of nearly 10,000 active suppliers, SAS did business with approximately 7,200 in 2003. Yet 245 of those – only four percent – accounted for 80 percent of the spend. Who were the smaller vendors? Did they offer additional value? SAS spends hundreds of millions of dollars annually. Used effectively, that's significant negotiating clout. "You want to be able to go to one company and say, 'I spend $200,000 a year on plumbing'," says Southwick. "'If I give you all that business, what kind of discount can you give me?'"
Executive Management Insight
SAS Supplier Relationship Management will become even more valuable as SAS expands its efforts to establish global contracts with top vendors. Travel, for example, is a prime area where the 360-degree view provided by the solution will enable SAS to consolidate the dozens of airlines and hotel chains it currently does business with into a limited number of cost-saving contracts. "You just can't get this kind of intelligence from your transactional systems," says Davis. "Not only do you get the enhanced reporting and analysis, but it integrates seamlessly with our other SAS solutions – SAS Financial Management, SAS Human Capital Management and SAS Strategic Performance Management – to give us the competitive edge we promise our own customers."

PAUL SMITHS - A veterans' publication has named Paul Smith's College one of the nation's most veteran-friendly schools.
The magazine, G.I. Jobs, recognizes the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools that are doing the most to embrace veterans as students as part of its annual "Military Friendly Schools" list.
"We're honored to be named a military-friendly school," said Amy Tuthill, associate director of veteran recruitment and retention. "Veterans have played an important role in our institution's history and their presence on campus adds a unique dynamic. We value their contribution in our classrooms and their service to our country."
Several initiatives at Paul Smith's College help veterans as they enroll in college, and make it easier for them to pursue an education. In addition to establishing a veterans affairs office in order to smooth the transition from service to school, for example, the college hosts a New York State Division of Veterans' Affairs counselor once a month and has started a club for veterans on campus.
The complete list of Military Friendly Schools is available at www.militaryfriendlyschools.com/2011list.

Very cool. There's something about this that I really like. It's peaceful.
The birds look great. Are you planning to color them?
My only crit is with the bird's open beak. Here's a similar perspective for reference.

Hello FrankieJ,
Thanks for your reference, it gets me another idea.
I don't intend to colour it, at least, in this moment.

HOUSTON, March 31, 2009 An Ivy League biologist who researches viruses to determine how and why they evolve to cause disease will speak at the University of Houston April 2. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Paul Turner, Yale University associate professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, will speak from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Thursday in Room 100 of the Science and Engineering Classroom Building Auditorium. His talk is titled "The Evolutionary Ecology of Viruses."
The impact of the HIV-AIDS epidemic on people living in the United States motivated Turner to study virus evolution. Specifically, he relies on evolution in action in the laboratory known as experimental evolution to study the genetics and evolution of viruses. In his talk, Turner will review recent research about how prior ecological history of viruses affects their future ability to cause disease.
His talk is part of the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (NSM) Dean's Lecture Series and Darwin 2009 Houston, a celebration of the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of publication of Darwin's "On the Origin of the Species."
According to Turner, viruses such as HIV can evolve rapidly because they contain RNA genomes that readily mutate. Thus, RNA viruses provide efficient systems to study evolution in action. Results of such studies help scientists understand how deadly pathogens evolve.
Turner often performs basic research on non-dangerous viruses that serve as models for important pathogens. An example is the vesicular stomatitis virus that does not cause disease in humans but provides an excellent model for the sometimes deadly Dengue virus and other viruses transmitted by mosquitoes. He also studies virus phi-6 that has genetic properties similar to the influenza virus.

Today, The Star Editorial Board offers endorsements in City-County Council Districts 1-10. The board interviewed candidates in September and October.
District 1
Outgoing councilmember Ike Randolph has served this Northwestside district and the city well. Three capable candidates are running to replace him.
Bruce Henry, who lost to Randolph in the Republican primary four years ago, is knowledgeable about the issues of community development, crime and taxes, which are major concerns in the district. An Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department sergeant and a supervisor in its human resources department, Henry can bring a fresh perspective on the debate over how many officers the city needs. He also supports fire consolidation.
Democrat Jose Evans Jr. has a lengthy list of accomplishments, including his stint as head of the state's Commission for the Social Status of Black Males. But his skepticism toward fire consolidation runs counter to growing evidence of its benefits.
Libertarian Margaret Kantz, who ran for the seat four years ago, is concerned about reducing the city's sprawl of taxing districts.
All three would make fine council members. But Henry is the best choice.
District 2
Democrat Angela Mansfield showed admirable leadership during her first term on the council. She was, for instance, a driving force behind passage of the smoking ban in restaurants and other public places. She also worked hard to find solutions to zoning issues that threatened neighborhoods in her district.
Mansfield, an attorney and certified public accountant, has the potential to emerge as a strong leader in her caucus and the council as a whole. She shows a willingness to listen to opposing points of view and set aside partisan concerns to achieve larger goals, positive traits the council's current leadership lacks.
Republican challenger Bruce Schumacher is director of corporate sales for the Indianapolis Indians. He's a knowledgeable candidate with strong community ties. But he has failed to show why Mansfield does not deserve a second term.
District 3
Newcomer M. Ryan Vaughn, who replaced Jim Bradford on the council earlier this year, has proved to be a smart, energetic and even-tempered representative. Those traits well serve both this Northside district and Indianapolis as a whole. Since his arrival on the council in January, the lawyer has dug into such tough issues as election reform without resorting to the incivility that marked Bradford's tenure.
A former Marion County deputy prosecutor, Vaughn has made public safety one of his top issues. Although the Republican argues that more police officers are needed, he also wants to add more jail beds and expand community policing in order to prevent crime.
Vaughn has made ethical conduct on the council a cornerstone of his tenure; he abstains from votes related to the Library Board, a client of the law firm for which he works. He has been a vocal, but restrained, critic of council President Monroe Gray for his ethically questionable conduct.
His Democratic opponent, attorney Cody Kendall, supports improving public transportation and pledges to be an active council member for the district. His resume, which includes serving as co-counsel of the state Election Board, is accomplished. But Vaughn is proving that he is an energetic representative for residents in the district. He deserves a full term.
District 4
Two political newcomers are vying to succeed Republican Scott Schneider, who decided not to seek re-election as the Northeastside area's council representative.
Democrat Carey Hamilton gets our nod over Republican Christine Scales.
A professional environmental consultant and a community activist, Hamilton has worked in state government and the private sector on matters relating to ecologically sound economic development and children's health.
She ranks public safety as job one and asserts that overall quality of neighborhood life is the best weapon against crime. She would attack property tax inequities through continued consolidation of local government and would promote regional mass transit.
Hamilton seeks a greener community, financially as well as environmentally. She also wants to revive neighborhood walkability. With those ideas to run on, she should go the distance.
District 5
Incumbent Ginny Cain, who is running unopposed, spent much of her first term addressing constituents' needs within the district. That's an important task, but Cain has the potential to develop as a stronger leader within the Republican caucus.
To do so, however, Cain needs to dig deeper into key issues. She argued, for instance, for tighter fiscal discipline during an interview with The Star's Editorial Board but could offer few specifics about where to cut spending in the city budget. Cain also needs to hold in check her more partisan tendencies, a habit that is unfortunately common for many council members.
Still, Cain has proved to be a solid representative for her district. She needs to press forward, and upward, in a second term.
District 6
Lynn McWhirter, who served this diverse Westside district, is stepping down after one term. The two candidates vying for her seat are the kind of community-minded people the council needs.
Republican Janice Shattuck McHenry, who ran for an at-large seat four years ago, is knowledgeable and active in community efforts, including running an effort with the Wayne Township Trustee to provide school supplies to needy children. A veteran teacher, McHenry says road improvements in the district would be a top priority. She also wants the county's local governments to team up in purchasing supplies and equipment to save taxpayers' money.
Democrat Frank Scott wants to strengthen neighborhood activism. The former United Parcel Service manager, a first-time candidate, says he would work to build ties between city agencies and community groups. Scott wants to form partnerships between the city and the private sector to promote Indianapolis as a transportation hub. This, he argues, would help lure new firms and high-paying jobs.
McHenry earns The Star's recommendation because of her longstanding ties to the district.
District 7
Cherrish Pryor seeks election to a council seat she has held just since January, when she was appointed by precinct committeepersons to replace Greg Bowes, who left to become Marion County Assessor.
Unopposed after having won a three-way race in the May Democratic primary, Pryor would be a formidable candidate in any case thanks to her background in government, business and civic affairs.
Her former jobs include media relations manager and state legislative lobbyist for the council, lobbyist for the Greater Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, program director for the State Student Assistance Commission and legislative assistant to the Indiana House of Representatives.
In keeping with the chamber's current initiative to foster government efficiency, Pryor stresses scrutiny over spending, strict accountability for recipients of tax incentives and regional cooperation in mass transit and other functions.
District 8
Council President Monroe Gray's ethical lapses and heavy-handed partisanship should disqualify him for another term on the council.
Gray has repeatedly abused his power and violated the public's trust in recent years. His tenure as council president has been an embarrassment to the city.
Fortunately, voters have a strong alternative in the form of Republican Kurt Webber, an attorney who takes a thoughtful approach to addressing issues such as crime and property taxes.
Webber's presence, and Gray's absence, would elevate the quality of the council's work and begin to restore public confidence in city government.
The Star strongly endorses Kurt Webber.
District 9
The question is not whether Jackie Nytes will win re-election to her council seat representing this Northside district. She's unopposed.
The question is how long, or short, her stay will be.
A former chief financial officer for the Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library, Nytes is one of three finalists for the post of chief executive of the library. That decision probably will be made within a few weeks after the Nov. 6 election. Nytes has said she does not know whether she would have to leave the council to take the library job; meanwhile, the Democrat is campaigning vigorously for a seat she has held since 2000, and with distinction.
One of the most astute members when it comes to government finance, and one of the more passionate about preserving and redeveloping neighborhoods, Nytes says the council must do a better job of communicating the cost of services -- and fixing an inconsistent system of raising the money.
District 10
When he ran for the seat in 2003, Democrat William Oliver pledged to work with neighborhood groups and churches to battle the related problems of abandoned buildings and crime.
He has done just that, and there's plenty more work ahead of him as he seeks re-election without opposition as councilor for the economically challenged Eastside area.
A supporter of local government consolidation and economic development incentives, Oliver has shown a sense of the big picture while devoting and directing attention to pressing needs at the grass roots. His efforts need encouragement from the highest level as he prepares to embark on a critical four years for his district.

"This is a simple elegant card but the bride and groom didn't like the organge color of the coral, so with the designer's help it was changed to a smoke gray - both the invitation as well as response and details card. Feel free to be creative - you can have your own perfect card! Only dissappointment was they don't provide "inside" envelopes - only outside. Too late to add them now. Should be provided at no extra cost."
"I am having and as Asian-American wedding and was looking for an invitation that wouldn't put us over out budget but still had a nice Asian flair. I loved the design and to top it off the little elephant on the front and back made everything come together perfectly. My family is from Laos the land of a million elephants. I was able to keep the information simple yet it still made the invitation beautiful. The customer service was wonderful. I received my proofs within a timely manner and when I did come in contact with any staff they were always friendly, and knowledgeable."
"I have recently ordered this in the gold text with the white envelopes. Quality of paper, text and colours were brilliant, clear resolution and of fine quality. All personal design requests that i had made were dealt with in no time, quick, friendly helpful service. All ordered online, did not have to telephone or get in contact with anyone, was a simple and easy process overall. Delivery of this item was much faster than i had anticipated, as it was an international delivery it was delivered within 2 working days, which i am very pleased with as i was told it would take up to 5-11 days. Very pleased with this product and with Wedding Paper Divas, especially as this was my first time coming across this website and purchasing from here. i will most definitely recommend this card for someone who is looking for a simple yet elegant wedding invitation. I will also be ordering from Wedding Paper Divas again as i am really impressed with the service, quality and range of choice."
"This product was perfect and more turned out to be even more than expected. The paper was sturdy for the invites and rsvp's and the product shipped much faster than expected."
"Ordering my invitations from Wedding Paper Divas was overall one of the best online shopping experiences I've ever had, and I shop online all the time. I actually ordered 2 different designs for the 2 different wedding celebrations we're having. Both sets required some editing of the standard design, and the process of making all desired changes was quick, seamless, easy. Everything arrived when expected, as expected. Excellent quality. I would recommend Wedding Paper Divas to anyone!"
