Much to my dismay I have just discovered that at least one of the major changes I made to HeroMachine 3 got lost somewhere in the file confusion I had a couple of days ago. I haven't had the heart to check and see just how much of the bug fixing was destroyed. The backup I thought I had turned out to not be a backup, too. If I have to rewrite all the stuff I did last week … man, I might have to cry.
In the morning when I am feeling better I will look into it further, but that's why all of a sudden things started coming up in the wrong slot, layers were hosed up, etc. It's because only some of the fixes turned out to be in the version I uploaded. I don't know what happened … there was a weird episode where one of the working versions didn't load, and I renamed and reloaded some backups, and then … I don't know. Feh.
More to come tomorrow when I know more. This sucks. But hopefully I can get it fixed sooner rather than later.

Yep, been there.
I guess all programmers have at some point accidentally lost a version of their code in a similar way, at least I know I have (a couple of times). And yes, it sucks.
I hope you find a good version of your code somewhere. If not, well… at least fixing those bugs will be easier than the first time.
Good luck Jeff.
*sends Jeff a virtual beer*
Here here, it could be a lot worse.
I mean I've had some issues with it, especially if I use multiple types of the same layer, but its workable. Hopefully the code is hidden away somewhere you can find it.
Just to say it again, thank you for the program!
Oops is right. I sympathize Jeff. I can't say I've written computer code, but I do write, and I have lost work before. Hopefully it's not as bad as you fear it is.
Jeff, I hate to pile on the problems but none of my new characters seem to be saving properly. I thought I had saved a couple last night and I definitely pressed the button and gave the save file a name. It seemed to work but when I went back to load them later they just weren't there. All of my characters from before you tweaked the save options are still there but none from after.
Disregard my last statement Jeff. I just tried it again and it seems to be working now.
What a kick in the shamrocks! Thats alot of work man. Well I and the multiverse populace of geeks will be patiently waiting.
I've been rocking with the Hero Machine since the WAY EARLY version when you could only design a charecter from the brick, martial artist type templates..(..but you could design a basketball jersey…wierd) I've been utilizing your sight to embelish my RPG's and further my escapeism this long…i'm sure as hell not quiting because of some bugs.
Keep rocking it out Jeff.
While I'm not a programmer, nor have I encountered any bugs since you made the update, I can definitely sympathize, Jeff. I remember playing video games back before the days of Auto-Save, which btw, is the most underrated standard feature of this generation of gaming. And I'd play for hours, never bothering to save to my memory card, and then power would go out or something would happen. And I'd actually sit there and cry. There are games I never played again because I just couldn't bear the thought of starting over and doing all that work again. So my heart goes out to you, pal.
Sending a virtual ice cream….. cheer up! It'll be fine!
That sucks. I can certainly sympathize but we're all grateful for your contributions.
This can indeed be frustrating and I am certain it is something that most of us can relate to. I wish there was a way for us to help you with the rewrite.
sorry that happened i hope it is not too severe.
That's alright Jeff. It happens sometimes. Since Imp and Nick are sending beer and ice cream, I'll send a virtual pizza 😀
No worries, my friend. I once lost the lighting design for the entire first half of a show I was working on. And to tell the truth, it came out looking much better the second time round. I can totally sympathize. Hope you get it sorted out quickly, for the sake of your sanity.
That's a real pain Jeff. Ow!
Thinking of you and sending you a few virtual malts from this side of the pond.
Terrible news for yourself Jeff, really feeling for you.
But every cloud has a silver lining, so fantastic news on the "Save as" options!!
Hope you manage to get back to where you were as painless as possible.
All the best
Keep on pluggin'; I just made a few "discoveries" myself!
Sometimes it is actually a blessing in disguise and the second run through is better and more elegant than the first…I had that happen uploading and converting a book I had just finished editing into PDF format for publishing. I forgot to save it and ended up reformatting from the PDF a page at a time…I wanteed to scream but found several fundamental errors in the process that would have been disasterous…. like the word "shift" being autocorrected as "sh%t" several times. Whew!!

The "Great Recession" may have put a dent in many older adults' pocketbooks, but a new study, which will be presented at the 109th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association, finds that more than 40 percent reported a decrease in "financial strain" between 2006 and 2010.
Researcher Lindsay R. Wilkinson, an assistant professor of sociology in Baylor University's College of Arts & Sciences, drew on 5,205 respondents from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) to examine the effect of financial strain on the mental health and use of mood-altering drugs by older adults. HRS, sponsored by the National Institute on Aging, is the largest ongoing national study of adults age 51 and older.
Wilkinson found that only one-quarter of respondents indicated an increase in financial strain between 2006 and 2010, while about one-third said their strain remained the same.
"It's difficult to determine precisely why so many adults would experience less financial strain in 2010, but one possible explanation may be the perceptual nature of these evaluations," she said. "The Recession represents a historical time that affected a great number of people. Perhaps knowing that others were struggling reduced the stress felt by individuals."
Previous research has shown that economic stress typically decreases as one gets older, with the over-65 crowd benefitting from home ownership, medical insurance, and Social Security.
Wilkinson also discovered, however, that both initial financial strain and increasing strain over the period of the Recession exacted a toll on mental health. For instance, increasing financial strain was associated with worsening anxiety and depressive symptoms and increased the likelihood of using drugs such as antidepressants.
Wilkinson noted that her study — which included individuals from ages 51 to 96 — differs from many others on the Great Recession because "financial strain" is a subjective measure that was based on self-reporting rather than on economic indicators. To measure financial strain, the study examined whether respondents had difficulty making monthly payments and whether and to what degree they were satisfied with their present financial situation.
"Difficulty in making payments may appear more objective than satisfaction, but it's still a person's perception of his or her financial situation," Wilkinson said. "Two people might have the same amount left over every month, but one might say, 'Oh, my goodness, that's not enough,' while the other might say, 'Well, I paid my bills.' Subjective measures matter, because it's your reality — and that has an effect on health."
A 2011 survey by the American Association of Retired Persons indicated that "the Great Recession drove millions of older Americans to deplete savings accounts, put off medical or dental treatment, and reduce their retirement expectations."
Wilkinson tested the theory that financial strain would have a negative effect on mental health by using three measures — whether and to what degree respondents felt anxiety, whether and to what degree they were depressed, and whether they used anti-depressants, tranquilizers, or medicine for nerves.
Less than 10 percent of respondents in 2006 were taking mood-altering drugs (such as antidepressants or tranquilizers), which increased to 13 percent in 2010.
Respondents in Wilkinson's study completed both face-to-face interviews and self-administered questionnaires in 2006 and 2010. Questions dealt with daily life stressors, well-being, and psychosocial resources. The average age of those in the study in 2006 was 64, with most (68 percent) married and less than half employed. The average self-rating of health was 3.4 (on a scale of 1 to 5).
Those who were employed were more likely to have increased financial strain, most likely due to worries about high unemployment and job security. Also more likely to report an increase in financial strain were younger respondents, black and Hispanic individuals, and those who gave themselves low health ratings.
Individuals who were better educated and with greater household wealth were less likely to report increased financial strain.

Real Sociedad were punished for failing to take their chances as they were beaten 2-0 by Shakhtar Donetsk thanks to Alex Teixeira's brace.
The home side had numerous chances to take the lead, but Shakhtar held firm and Teixeira showed his class in their opening game of Group A in the UEFA Champions League.
Jagoba Arrasate made three changes to his midfield for Sociedad's first European game since 2003, with Ruben Pardo replacing the injured David Zurutuza, Xabi Prieto and Markel Bergara all coming in to start.
Andriy Pyatov, Darijo Srna, Vyacheslav Shevchuk, Fernando, Tomas Hubschmann all came into the Shakhtar starting XI following their 3-2 defeat to Karpaty in the Ukrainian Premier League.
The opening exchanges were played at a frantic pace and Antoine Griezmann went close in the third minute with a low shot that had Pyatov stretching in the Shakhtar goal.
Carlos Vela had the best chance of the first half when he raced onto a throughball but his chip took a deflection and looped just wide of the goal with Pyatov stranded.
The home side were aggrieved to not get a penalty five minutes before the end of the first half when Srna brought down Prieto on the edge of the box.
Shakhtar came out with a new game plan in the second half and were proving hard to break down as they tried to counter when given the opportunity. Sociedad went close through Haris Seferovic but his effort was held well by Pyatov.
In the 65th minute, Shakhtar did counter to perfection and took the lead against the run of play through Teixeira. The midfielder got onto the end of Douglas Costa's teasing ball and drilled the ball into the bottom corner to silence the Sociedad crowd.
Sociedad tried to get level and they had a goal disallowed when Griezmann went through one-on-one. Vela then hit the crossbar from a free-kick but it was Teixeira who added further misery when he doubled the visitors' advantage.
The Brazilian cut in from the left-hand side before curling the ball into the bottom corner past the helpless Claudio Bravo, who was making his 200th appearance for the club.
Sociedad continued to push for a goal but in the end Shakhtar showed their European experience to pick up the three points.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
29 May 2013 18:05 GMT | Europe, US & Canada, France, United States
Two men have married each other in the southern French city of Montpellier in the first same-sex wedding in a country that has been rocked by protests against, and for, the reform.
Security was on high alert for the union of Vincent Autin and Bruno Boileau, who exchanged vows in the city hall on Wednesday before the mayor, relatives and friends, as dozens of riot police stood guard outside to ensure the ceremony was not interrupted by protestors.
The two men, who have been together since they hit it off six years ago discussing music in an online forum, embraced to wild cheers from the audience of about 500 people and the strains of "Love and Marriage" by Frank Sinatra.
"It's a great pleasure for me to declare you married by law," said Montpellier Mayor Helene Mandroux as the couple, both dressed in dark suits, kissed and signed the marriage registry.
The ceremony marked a symbolic end to months of debate that often overshadowed France's economic woes, contributing Socialist President Francois Hollande's reputation as a reformer despite bitter and continued opposition from Catholics and conservatives.
"This is a historic moment in your own lives ... and a historic moment for our country," Mandroux told the ceremony. "We are building here together the society of tomorrow."
'Society of tomorrow'
Despite support for the reform in Montpellier, which boasts of being France's most gay-friendly town, officials scrapped plans to broadcast the wedding live on a giant TV screen and instead beamed it live online to the city's website.
Moments before the men walked in, a smoke bomb was lobbed from outside into the perimeter of the city hall. Security guards rushed to investigate, but the wedding went ahead.
An emotional Autin gave a brief speech to the audience, thanking his family, friends and government spokeswoman Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, a personal friend present at the ceremony.
"Love each other, love us, love one another, because it's important," said Autin from a balcony to a crowd of hundreds of well-wishers outside the city hall, adding the next step would be a law allowing gay couples to adopt children.
After the men exchanged a kiss, Mandroux signed the first ever marriage registry entry for two people of the same sex in France, a nation predominantly Roman Catholic but fiercely attached to the separation of church and state.
Backed by a slim majority of citizens and feted by gay men and lesbians when it came into force this month, a law making France the 14th country to allow same-sex marriage had triggered street protests by conservatives, Catholics and extreme right-wingers.

A process is disclosed by which thermoplastic elastomers may be utilized torepare melt-formable composite rocket propellants. The thermoplastic elastomer is dissolved in a volatile organic solvent, the other propellant ingredients are mixed in, and the volatile organic solvent is evaporated. The dried propellant is melt-formed to final shape by molding or extruding above the melting point of the elastomer. An example of a usable thermoplastic elastomer is a block copolymer comprised of about 5 to about 20 weight percent styrene and of about 80 to 95 weight percent diene. The formed grain can be reclaimed by melting or dissolution in an organic solvent for reuse of the propellant ingredients.
1. A process for utilizing a thermoplastic elastomer as a binder for a composite propellant composition and for forming a solid propellant grain of same, said process comprising:
(i) providing a thermoplastic elastomer which consists of hard segments having substantially crystalline properties and soft segments having substantially amorphous properties, said hard segments imparting rigid properties to a solid propellant composition with which it is combined, and said soft segments imparting rubbery properties to a solid propellant composition with which it is combined;
(ii) dissolving said thermoplastic elastomer in an excess amount of a volatile organic solvent;
(iii) adding and mixing an aziridine compound as a bonding agent in said dissolved thermoplastic elastomer to enhance the adhesive bond between the binder material and propellant composition solids;
(iv) continue adding and mixing into said dissolved thermoplastic elastomer, propellant solids including aluminum powder as a fuel element and two different nominal particle sizes of ammonium perchlorate as oxidizer to increase particle packing efficiency;
(v) continue mixing said solids in said thermoplastic elastomer solution to achieve a uniform mixture of said composite propellant composition;
(vi) evaporating said organic solvent from said composite propellant composition to yield a dry solid composite propellant composition free from said volatile organic solvent;
(vii) chopping said dried solid composite propellant composition into pellets;
(viii) placing a predetermined amount of said pellets in a mold and heating to 150� C. to yield a viscous fluid of said solid composite propellant composition;
(ix) pressing said viscous fluid in said mold; and,
(x) cooling said mold and releasing from said mold a formed solid composite propellant grain.
2. The process of claim 1 wherein said volatile organic solvent is toluene and said thermoplastic elastomer is a block copolymer of styrene and a diene, said styrene comprising from about 5 weight percent to about 20 weight percent of said thermoplastic copolymer with balance weight percent of said thermoplastic elastomer comprised of said diene.
3. The process of claim 1 which additionally includes the step of reclaiming said solid composite propellant grain by melting.
4. The process of claim 1 which additionally includes the step of reclaiming said solid composite propellant grain by dissolving in a volatile organic solvent.
The invention described herein may be manufactured, used, and licensed by or for the Government for governmental purposes without the payment to me of any royalties thereon.
Composite solid rocket propellants consist of a rubbery matrix called a binder in which particles of solid oxidizing compounds are embedded. In addition to the oxidizer, the particulate solids of the propellant may include fuel elements, ballistic modifiers and/or other special-purpose solids. The binder consists of an elastomer which may or may not be plasticized with energetic or non-energetic dissolved liquids, and may contain other special-purpose dissolved liquid additives to impart particular ballistic or physical properties to the propellant.
Prior to the present invention, elastic composite propellants have derived their structural properties from elastomers which are chemically cross-linked. To prepare such a propellant, it is necessary to start with a liquid precursor of the elastomer, usually an oligomer in the 500-3000 average molecular weight range, in order to have the fluidity required for incorporating the other ingredients. After thoroughly mixing into this precursor all the other ingredients of the propellant, a curing agent is added which chemically reacts with the oligomer to convert it to an elastomer via chain extension and cross-linking. All processing and testing requiring propellant flow subsequent to addition of the curing agent, such as characterization tests and casting into rocket motors, must be accomplished in the period of time before the cure reaction renders the mixture unmanageably viscous. This period of time is termed the pot life. It is common in the industry that pot life strongly influences processing parameters, with a resulting impact on cost.
Once the binder of a composite propellant is cross-linked via the cure reaction, the propellant is very difficult to dispose of except by burning. Many military rockets reach obsolescence and require disposal of their propellant. Burning as a means of disposal is undesirable for environmental reasons as well as for the waste of materials which results.
It is apparent from the foregoing discussion that many problems associated with state-of-the-art composite propellants could be eliminated if the elastomeric properties of the binder did not require chemical cross-linking, but depended rather upon a thermally reversible physical phenomenon such as melting and crystallizing. Elastomers with this type of behavior have been available in recent years, known by such terms as thermoplastic elastomers. On the molecular level, such elastomers consist of hard segments, which are usually crystalline, and soft segments which are amorphous and which impart the rubbery properties of the material. Typical of such thermoplastic elastomers are block copolymers of monomers such as styrene and a diene, where the styrene blocks form the hard segments and the diene blocks form the soft or rubbery segments. There are various other types of thermoplastic elastomers as well.
The concept of utilizing thermoplastic elastomers as binders for composite propellants has been considered by the propulsion industry for many years. This is evidenced by the fact that virtually all new elastomers are considered as potential propellant binders as soon as they become known to the propulsion industry.
The approach of using thermoplastic elastomers for propellant binders has been centered around the conventional processing techniques which require processing by adding solids to the fluid fractions. However, in the course of attempts at using thermoplastic elastomers for binder ingredients by standard state-of-art processing techniques, artisans have concluded that it would be impractical if not impossible to mix solid particulates at the levels of interest into most thermoplastic elastomers while they are held above their melting points.
An object of this invention is to make the desires of the propellant industry become a reality by providing the combinations of techniques and formulations which enables thermoplastic elastomers to be utilized as the binders for composite propellants.
A further object of this invention is to overcome the obstacles of processing thermoplastic elastomers by providing a technique which employs the combination of thermoplastic elastomers in solution by common volatile organic solvents while processing.
Still a further object of this invention is to provide the technique of mixing the particulate solids of a composite propellant into a solution of a thermoplastic elastomer which technique overcomes the obstacles of the prior art processing technique while offering many advantages over the processing of composite propellants by conventional prior art techniques.
A thermoplastic elastomer is dissolved in an appropriate, volatile organic solvent, and the solid ingredients of the propellant formulation are added and mixed in. Special purpose binder ingredients may be used also. After these are thoroughly mixed together, the solvent is evaporated at such a time and in such a manner as is convenient for the processor.
The dried propellant, following solvent removal and drying, is a rubbery solid which can be divided into pellets or other form suitable for further processing. The pellets are used as a thermoplastic material in forming propellant grains in the melt phase by either pressing or extruding.
A typical thermoplastic elastomer useful in accordance with procedures of this invention is a block copolymer which is about 15 weight percent styrene and 85 weight percent isoprene. An appropriate volatile organic solvent is toluene.
The process of this invention relates to the use of a thermoplastic elastomer as a composite propellant binder. The thermoplastic elastomer is dissolved in a volatile organic solvent, the particulate solids are added, and the solvent is subsequently removed to yield a rubbery composite solid propellant.
The following example illustrates a typical procedure for preparation of a composite propellant which utilizes a thermoplastic elastomer binder.
15.70 parts by weight of a block copolymer thermoplastic elastomer consisting of 15% styrene and 85% isoprene (sold under the trade name Kraton 1107) are mixed with 25 parts of toluene. The elastomer readily dissolves in a few minutes at 23� C. to form a clear, low-viscosity solution. Next, 0.30 parts of an aziridine compound is added to enhance the adhesive bond between the binder and the oxidizer particles. Then 16.00 parts of aluminum powder is added as a fuel element, and finally 68 parts of ammonium perchlorate (AP) as the oxidizer is added. Two different nominal particle sizes of AP are used to increase particle packing efficiency. After thoroughly mixing the solids with the elastomer solution, the mix is poured into a shallow tray and left exposed to ambient air to evaporate the toluene. After 3 days the odor of toluene could no longer be detected, and the mixture is a firm elastic composite propellant. The propellant is then chopped into pellets, and some of these pellets are placed in a mold and heated to 150� C., at which temperature they become a very viscous fluid. The propellant is pressed in a shaping mold and the mold is subsequently cooled with circulating water. The mold is opened and the propellant is found to be one solid block of rubbery composite propellant grain. The testing of the solid propellant grain yields results which indicates normal ballistic properties as compared with a chemically cured propellant grain having the same solids loadings. The measured mechanical properties compare favorably with a chemically cured formulation by having similar properties which are in an acceptable range.
The aziridine compound employed to enhance the bond between the binder and the oxidizer particles can be selected from BA114 which is formed from equal molar quantities of 12-hydroxystearic acid and tris[1-(2-methylaziridinyl)] phosphine oxide, other aziridine compounds, or other bonding agents such as those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,019,933 and 4,090,893 by Marjorie T. Cucksee and Henry C. Allen, which are employed to coat ammonium perchlorate and improve propellant properties.
Many thermoplastic elastomers are soluble in common organic solvents thereby obviating the problems faced by prior art techniques which attempted to use the thermoplastic elastomers by processing by conventional composite propellant processing procedures. Not only does the techniques of this invention for processing thermoplastic elastomers overcome the obstacles recognized by the prior art, but these techniques offer many advantages over the processing of composite propellant by conventional techniques. Some of these advantages are:
1. The viscosity of the mix can be readily controlled by the amount of solvent used. In processing conventional propellants, mix viscosity is strongly influenced by the amount of solid matter included, and by the particle sizes of the solids; many desirable formulations are extremely difficult to mix, and some cannot be processed at all. With solutions of thermoplastic elastomeric binders, these formulations can be mixed easily by adjusting the level and type of binder solvent.
2. Thermoplastic propellant mixes having the binder in solution have unlimited pot life. Since no chemical cure reaction is occurring, the fluid propellant mix can be held indefinitely without change. This enables complete characterization of a mix before it is committed to its final use. Further, mixes can be blended into larger batches to get greater quantities with uniform properties. Formulation adjustments can be made in process if needed. Propellants can be made in advance, when mixing facilities may otherwise be idle, and stored until needed. There are many other advantages to unlimited pot life as well.
3. Due to the low viscosity of the binder solution, mixing time is short and power demand is low.
The advantages of thermoplastic propellants are by no means limited to mixing. The fluid propellant mix would usually be stripped of solvent before final forming. Stripping or removal of the solvent can be accomplished in a variety of ways, depending upon the processor's wishes and the form most suitable for final processing. One technique which has been found to be convenient includes drying the propellant as rods or sheets which may then be cut into pellets or shredded into a crumb form. In this dried form the propellant once again has been found to have advantages over conventional composite propellants. It may be held indefinitely, it may be blended to adjust properties or achieve uniformity, or it may be re-dissolved for formulation adjustment or other purposes. Loss as waste is virtually eliminated since the propellant scraps, the test specimens (other than those which are consumed, such as burn rate samples) can be reprocessed simply by re-melting or re-dissolving.
The thermoplastic nature of these propellants is critical to the final forming of propellant grains from the pellets or other forms which have been prepared from the dried propellant. When heated above the melting point of the thermoplastic elastomer, the propellant becomes a very viscous fluid. It can then be formed by pressing in molds or by extruding through dies. Upon cooling it again becomes a firm, rubbery material with properties quite similar to those of propellants made with chemically cross-linked binders. Many ways of forming the propellant into final configuration will be apparent to those skilled in the art, including the pressing of melted propellant into rocket motor cases to form case-bonded grains.
Thermoplastic propellants have certain unique properties which enhance their desirability as rocket propellants. They can be solvent bonded, which will enable repair of damaged grains and the construction of complex grain designs which cannot be cast or molded. Surfaces can also be joined in the melt phase. They can be removed from the motor cases either by dissolution or by melting. The propellant from motors no longer needed thus may be re-used, or the raw materials may be reclaimed.

Mercury Rising: Enjoy Fish Without the Risk

The news is abuzz with reports of mercury-contaminated fish traversing our waters, and www.fix.com has created an infographic entitled "Mercury Rising: Enjoy Fish Without the Risk" explaining the ... dangers of mercury, who it affects, and how to avoid consuming this neurotoxin. Mercury is found naturally in our environment, however, in high concentrations, it can be dangerous. Unfortunately, due to contaminated emissions from businesses such as power plants, cement plants, and chemical manufacturers, over 18 million acres of lakes, wetlands, and estuaries are now contaminated by mercury. Additionally, over 1.2 million river miles have also been contaminated, and those numbers are rising every year. Unfortunately, this means that the fish are also carrying a dangerous level of mercury as well. While 70 percent of fish have relatively low levels of mercury, and are deemed safe to eat, there are a few types of fish that should be avoided. Most importantly, this infographic has a chart detailing which fish are safe to consume on a regular basis, and which are not. For example, fish such a swordfish, Mackerel, Marlin, Orange Roughy, Sharks, Tilefish, and Big eye or Ahi tuna are all fish that carry the highest levels of Mercury, while fish such as Sole, Shad, Tilapia, and Flounder are deemed among the safe fish to consume. Feel free to like, comment, and share this infographic from www.fix.com entitled "Mercury Rising: Enjoy Fish Without the Risk".

Health & Safety
Blocked exits, lack of ventilation and combustible dust in the paint shop have drawn federal citations and fines to a Chicago company that coats and manufactures industrial shelving and storage.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Edsal Manufacturing for nine violations, eight serious and one repeat, carrying $75,000 in proposed penalties.
The citations stem from an April inspection that OSHA launched after receiving a complaint alleging unsafe work practices at the facility. During its inspection, OSHA determined that the company failed to provide unobstructed exit routes—something the company was also cited for in April 2011.
OSHA cited Edsal Manufacturing for nine alleged violations, including blocked exit routes and combustible dust accumulation.
The company manufactures metal industrial shelving, racks, cabinets, benches and other products. It employs 1,000 workers at its Chicago facility.
'Putting Workers at Risk'
"Edsal Manufacturing is putting workers at risk by allowing exit routes to be blocked," Gary Anderson, OSHA area director in Calumet City, said in a statement Thursday (Sept. 12).
"Companies must be aware of the need to keep emergency routes free of hazards and should take all possible precautions to minimize the risk of injury," Anderson said.
According to OSHA, Edsal Manufacturing has been cited for 16 violations since 2003.
The company did not respond to a request for comment.
Nine Violations Cited
The repeat violation, which carries a proposed fine of $25,000, alleges that stored items were blocking exit routes by one of the powder coating lines. Repeat violations occur when an employer has been cited for the same or a similar violation within the last five years.
Ventilation systems were dropping powder back into the spray area, and combustible dust was building up in powder coating areas at Edsal Manufacturing, OSHA alleges.
Eight serious violations include:
Serious violations exist when there is a substantial probability of death or serious injury from a hazard the employer knew or should have known about.
The company has 15 business days from receipt of the citations and proposed penalties to comply, contest the findings, or request an informal conference.

Originally written on Tireball.com | Last updated 8/14/14
Tony Stewart will not race this weekend at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn according to a press release that was sent out by his team. Instead veteran driver Jeff Burton, a winner of 21 Sprint Cup races, will pilot the #14 Mobil 1/Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet SS for Stewart-Haas Racing. Stewart was involved in last Saturday's accident at the Sprint car race at Canandaigua Speedway in New York that took the life of 20-year old Kevin Ward Jr. There are no criminal charges against Stewart at this time. Stewart sat out Sunday's race at Watkins Glen and now will sit out Sunday's Pure Michigan 400. The change only pertains to Michigan, Stewart's plans for future races have yet to be determined. At 10:00am/et on Friday in the deadline room of the infield media center at Michigan, Burton will be part of a press briefing featuring SHR executive vice president Brett Frood and SHR vice president of competition Greg Zipadelli.

Showers will taper off across Northern Calfiornia by Monday afternoon as a frontal system moves south and east of the area.
High pressure will bring a return of dry weather along with milder temperatures for the rest of the week. Breezy northerly winds are likely Tuesday.
Satellite and radar imagery showed the frontal band is finally on the move toward the south and east as the upper trough nears the coast.
Light showers were in the valley and was as far south as Stockton, and the back edge of precip now extends from around Yreka to Weaverville to west of Ukiah.
The rain is forecasted to end between 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. in Sacramento and by early afternoon in the northern Sierray.
Travelers over I80 + US50 this morning should use caution. Snow levels are 5500 feet, with 2-3 inches of wet snow on road at passes #cawx— NWS Sacramento (@NWSSacramento) March 10, 2014

PK Dhumal elected leader of Himchal BJP Legislature Party
Shimla: Outgoing chief minister PK Dhumal was on Monday unanimously elected leader of the 26-member BJP legislature party.
Dhumal, whose name was proposed by state BJP chief Satpal Singh Satti and several other members, said "we honour the verdict of the people and would play the role of effective opposition".
The BJP leader said his main objective would be to ensure victory of the party in 2014 Lok Sabha polls and all efforts would be made to strengthen the organisation to take up the challenge.
BJP General Secretary, Thawar Singh Gehlot, who was observer for the meeting, declared Dhumal elected.
Addressing the legislature party members, Gehlot said that the party was confident about coming back to power but it marginally missed the target and now it would play the role of active opposition and raise public issues.
"Our goal is to further activate and strengthen the party and avenge the defeat in coming Lok Sabha and Assembly polls," he said, adding the party would review the causes of defeat and remove shortcomings.
Expressing his gratitude to the MLAs for reposing faith in him by reelecting him as leader of the legislature party, Dhumal said that he and other party leaders campaigned tirelessly throughout the state and the government had creditable record of development but "somehow, the party failed to achieve `mission repeat`".
"We honour the verdict of the people and would play the role of effective opposition and raise all issues of public interest and serve the people with same zeal and vigour," he said.
Gehlot, who is also incharge of state organisational polls, announced appointment of state party general secretary Chander Mohan as returning officer and said that process of organisational elections would be speeded up and state level elections would be completed by early January.
Satti said that 1.75 lakh members have been added this time and "the total membership has crossed 4.75 lakh, which is record".

Dancing With the Stars: Why, Kurt Warner? Why?
If you're an Arizona Cardinals fan, watching quarterback Derek Anderson try to throw a football on Sunday was hard enough. Watching the man he replaced -- and who many fans wish was still leading the team -- do the hustle on national television is just salt in the wound.
The Cards' former quarterback, Kurt Warner, is featured on this season of Dancing With the Stars. The debut was last night and it turns out Kurt's not a bad dancer.
But do football fans want to see their macho heroes do the Viennese waltz set to Bon Jovi's This Ain't a Love Song?
Seems about as emasculating as former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka -- the face of tough, unadulterated manliness -- doing Viagra ads (yeah, that happened).
Check out Kurt's performance after the jump. It's rough, Cards fans.

Losing its bearings: Import penetration and foreign competition will fuel industry's decline
IBISWorld's Ball Bearing Manufacturing market research report provides the latest industry statistics and industry trends, allowing you to identify the products and customers driving revenue growth and profitability. The industry report identifies the leading companies and offers strategic industry analysis of the key factors influencing the market.
This industry manufactures ball bearings and roller bearings, which are small machines that constrain motion and reduce friction between moving parts of vehicles and other equipment. The industry depends on demand from a variety of transport and manufacturing markets, with foreign markets generating nearly half of the average operator's revenue. Revenue is also responsive to the price of steel, which is a key input into bearings and influences the price operators charge for their products. Revenue has grown modestly since 2010, but is expected to fall in 2015 due to a drop in steel prices. In the coming years, import penetration and increasing competition for key export markets is likely to constrain revenue growth... purchase to read more
The industry is entering into the decline phase of its life cycle. Despite significant demand in Canada for bearings, the majority of domestic demand is being met by imports. Meanwhile, export markets are becoming increasingly competitive and saturated; operators are being squeezed out of their main export market in the United States by more efficient global producers. Overall, the industry's value added, which measures its contribution to the overall economy, is expected to increase at an annualized rate of only 1.0% in the 10 years to 2020. This is far below the Canadian economy's projected 2.2% annualized growth over the period, which is indicative of an industry in decline... purchase to read more
