KINGSTON, R.I. -- September 5, 2000 -- The University of Rhode Island
has appointed a Wakefield resident as its new assistant director
for the Convocation Center Campaign, the private, $15 million fund drive
for the largest building project in the history of URI.
Michaela Mooney brings 13 years of experience at URI in roles as a fund-raiser,
admissions official and freshman orientation director to her new post. Prior
to her appointment, Mooney served for two years as an assistant director
of the URI Annual Fund, the premier private fund-raising campaign at URI.
The Pawtucket native and graduate of the former Pawtucket West
High School succeeds Louise Rosarbo who has been promoted to director of
the Convocation Center Campaign.
A graduate of Wheaton College, Mooney holds a master's degree from URI
in college student personnel.
"Michaela brings a wide range of skills to this very important
position," said Robert M. Beagle, URI vice president for the Division
of Advancement. "Among her strengths are a winning personality, ability
to sell URI and a great rapport with our alumni and friends. We are happy
to have her working on URI's largest private giving campaign."
She is responsible for working with volunteer committee members in soliciting
individuals and businesses for donations.
Mooney said her work in various offices at URI has prepared her well
for the job. "What really prepared me is my work in admissions,"
she said. "The knowledge of the University I gained in my work there
is helping immeasurably."
Whether working in fund-raising, admissions or with new students, it
is important to remember "that 98 percent of it is dealing well with
people," Mooney said. "It's getting back to people, returning
calls and letting them know you care. People give to people."
Mooney said she is excited about the job because of the great challenge
of working on a campaign for the $54 million Convocation Center. The complex
will house basketball games, University events, concerts and cultural programs,
and is scheduled to open in the fall of 2002. It is being funded by state
appropriations, bond funds and private donations. The site to the west of
Meade Stadium is currently being prepared for the start of construction
this fall.
"I am glad to be a part of it. This is going to be the most visible
building on campus," she said.
She said the campaign has tremendous momentum, thanks to the dynamic
leadership of Rosarbo. "She is a powerhouse," said sports-lover
Mooney. "I have been following URI basketball since the mid-1970s."
Mooney and her husband Tom, also a graduate of URI, have a daughter,
Meg, a junior at South Kingstown High School and member of the field hockey

Commenting on the votes in the House of Lords last night (January 25) Derek Munn, Stonewall Director of Public Affairs said:
'Stonewall believes that the limited exemptions passed in 2003 have been subject to abuse. We look to the Government to ensure that existing exemptions allowing discrimination aren't widened in any way.'
As a Gay man who is baptised Church of England I have suffered homophobia in the hurch when elderly (now deceased) members of the congregation cleansed the Chalice after my partner and I had taken communion. Thankfully that attitude is now very rare. I can understand that the Church of England might not want me as a Parson and the Catholic Church would not want me as a Priest but what concerns me is that a qualified property professional the comments stirred by the Pope might mena that the Catholic Church would not want me acting as a Chartered Surveyor for them or in negotiations for the other side if there was a transaction. Stonewall has been marvellous in obtaining Equality and I urge you to take the Bill back to the EU if the Upper House (ex of Lords) amendments are not challenged by the Government. I also think the Pope has not place in seeking to interfere in (excellent) UK policy and legislation. if the Catholic Church want him to visit Britain they should pay, I don't see why the tax payer should apy the ÂŁ20m! My partner and I went to Venice for our anniversary - we paid!
John Eborn, 02 February 2010
Its a shame that the power of the churches in the Lords weakens the law , faith should not be an excuse to discriminate
Hardrainfalling, 29 January 2010
As a gay Christian the news that discrimination and prejudice are still being upheld in this country under the guise of religion comes as such a disappointment on so many levels.
Helen Forbes, 28 January 2010
The votes in the Lords open the way for discrimination in jobs which are not critically related to the mission of the Churches. I think we should join with those who plan to take the issue back to the EU if the government do not seek to overthrow the amendments.
Stephen, 26 January 2010
During office hours please call: 020 7593 1856 or outside office hours on 07985 439 660.

Long before the Internet, the Olympic Games have had a means of uniting the world. Tonight, billions of earthlings will turn on their TVs to watch the opening ceremonies of 2010 Olympics and, for a precious moment in time, our global thoughts will be bent on themes of goodwill, fun and joy. There is nothing else quite like this, and if you're going to watch the Games, I want to wish you a very Happy Olympics!
Every 2 years, my brother's family prepares a dinner on the night of the opening ceremonies that reflects the cuisine of the host country (he's been a little puzzled by dining a la Canada…I suggested maple syrup). My youngest sister is giving a party for all of her college friends tonight to celebrate the start of the Olympics. Around the SEOigloo, we've decorated with flags of many nations as our way of participating in the spirit of the Games. In a world overburdened by cynicism and the rule of warlords, how good it is to sense the innocent and simple pleasure people around the globe can still take in good sportsmanship and the celebration of human achievement.
My Predictions For The 2010 Olympic Men's Figure Skating Competition
I've been watching figure skating since the Innsbruck games of 1976, when I was just a baby. I'm not a big sports person, but I know figure skating well. Here we go:
Evgeney Plushenko : Has more technical clout than any of his competitors. He won gold last time and he can win it again if he skates well. He's got the Russian reputation for perfect technique, but his long program in 2006 was hopelessly devoid of artistry – something very odd for a Russian. It was as if he knew he could win and so did the least possible in his performance. This lost him some admirers, and we'll see what kind of passion he puts into his programs this time around.
Stephane Lambiel: This is the guy I'd love to see win the gold. He skates with absolute joy and when he wins, he screams and cries. It's very touching to see someone who lives so in the moment that he allows himself to be overcome with the emotion of achievement. He won silver for Switzerland in 2006 and if he skates well, he has the technical ability to do it again. His skate is the one to watch, in my opinion, for pure enjoyment.
The Rest: The bronze is up for grabs and that will make this competition exciting. Because I live in America, American media pushes US athletes as potential winners, often without cause. This time around, I do see Jeremy Abbott as a medal contender, but much more hype has been given to Evan Lysacek whom I find unimpressive and Johnny Weir whose off-ice antics have been deserved of more notice than the content of his skating. Patrick Chan of Canada will be skating at home and I see him as a fair contender for a medal, as well.
Let's see how it plays out. That's the fun of it, after all!
The Games begin in just a few minutes. Happy Olympics, World!
0 comments Friday 12 Feb 2010 | admin | Inside the Igloo
A couple of weeks ago, I came across the YouTube page of a fellow named Kai. I spent the next couple of hours watching video after video, reaching the conclusion that this man is a past master at the art of that made-in-the-USA overwhelmingly favorite cuisine – Chinese restaurant food. In mainland China, people don't eat the General Tso's Chicken and Sweet and Sour Pork that Americans love, but that hardly matters. According to The Fortune Cookie Chronicles by Jennifer 8. Lee, our national passion for Chinese food has resulted in the country playing host to 40,000 Chinese restaurants – more than the total number of KFCs, Burger Kings and McDonald's, combined! As Lee points out, our slogan is "as American as Mom's apple pie", but how often do you eat apple pie, and how often do you eat Chinese food? Good question.
The answer to it brings me back to Chef Kai and the unhappy note I found on the bio portion of his YouTube page:
I been laid off. No work to feed my family. And my life is in HELL.
I went to bed that night thinking about this man, out of work and, yet, possessed of something I suspected could be of great value to the public. In order to confirm my suspicions, I turned to Google. Google says that some 27,000 people a month are searching for 'chinese restaurant food'. Another 3,600 are searching for 'how to make chinese food'. When you start getting into the long tail ('how to make chinese food like the restaurants' + all of the searches for specific dishes and recipes), traffic potentials take on a rather golden shine.
Americans love Chinese restaurant food – dining in or taking it out – but the do-it-yourself mentality that is part of our culture inspires an apparently large segment of the public to want to learn to make these classic meals at home. And that's where Kai – and the 200+ cooking videos he's created – comes in.
What Could Kai Do?
I gathered from browsing through some of Kai's videos that he tried to have a website, but when I went looking for it, I discovered that the site no longer existed. Who knows what happened with that, but having a website will start off my list of suggestions:
– A website with paid content. Show maybe 5-10 awesome videos and then offer a package of paid videos with lead-in language that would entice users to conclude they *must* see Kai's video tutorials for Lemon Chicken, Hot and Sour Soup, etc. Set the price low enough so that people of all incomes can afford the package, but high enough so that Kai starts to make income.
– Include a blog on the site. Kai could give great tutorials about Chinese cooking equipment, how to shop at an Asian foods market, special dishes for holidays, Chinese cultural stories, reviews of local Chinese restaurants, etc.
– Market the site via Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, etc.
– Go offline for more income. Get hired by the local junior college or local community center to do a class on Chinese Restaurant Cooking. Market this class offline and via social media.
– Make a strong local component for the website and start working as a professional caterer in Kai's hometown – real Chinese restaurant food prepared in your home by Kai. He is so fun to watch, he could even be part of the party.
– Increase local visibility by giving talks in local public schools, participating in local events, perhaps even offering pro-bono catering on a limited scale for some small but popular local happenings. Good ways to get links!
– Put it all together and send it as your resume to several of the most famous high class Chinese restaurants in New York or San Francisco. Chef Ming Tsai of Blue Ginger restaurant has made himself famous on the foodie scene and YouTube comments prove that people still have a nostalgic yen for Yan Can Cook. Though I don't know what Kai's culinary background actually is, I imagine that if he gained a fair following on the web, it could be fairly impressive to some of the more celebrated Chinese restaurants in major cities, and Kai might have a job again.
What About Competition?
With 40,000 Chinese restaurants operating from coast to coast, it's pretty obvious that the USA is awash with Chinese cooks. However, Kai has something that many of them don't have, and I only realized this after reading Jennifer 8. Lee's book. The majority of the folks who cook your Chicken Chow Mein and Pork Fried Rice hail from Fujian Province – a region about the size of Delaware in Southeastern China.
Some 300,000 Fujianese have come, both legally and illegally, into the country over the past 2 decades and the majority of them come to work on the Chinese restaurant circuit. The back story on this makes fascinating reading, but the point I want to make here is that most of these immigrants have little or no acquaintance with the English language. Not so with Kai, who not only speaks English well, but who has a very engaging manner of talking you through cooking Chinese-American dishes, somehow making it look incredibly fast and easy. Actually, a few nasty people apparently made rude comments about Kai's speech, and if you want a laugh, watch his response (warning: some colorful language). That's telling 'em, Kai!
The bottom line: America was charmed by Martin Yan and part of his charm was his accent and fun-filled presentation, and Kai's excellent grasp of English sets him apart from many immigrants who might otherwise be able to market an inside look at Chinese restaurant cooking that would be certain to have appeal for an American audience. Only a certain portion of the public knows how to cook Chinese restaurant food authentically because they've worked in Chinese restaurants, and only a percentage of those people will have the skills to necessary to share that inside-scoop-knowledge with others. Kai has the skills he needs to present what he knows, and what he knows is something keyword research says that many people want to know. There's money to be made somewhere in this, and certainly, reason to believe that Kai need not remain unemployed for long.
I don't know this gentleman, and have no idea what his life story or circumstances are, but if he came to me as a potential client, this is what I'd be telling him. It's enjoyable to look at a puzzle like this and try to find the solution, and in case this blog post should make its way over to Kai, I'd like to invite you to make additional suggestions for how Kai could use what he knows to make a living. Have fun with it. Be creative. What would you tell Kai?

Check your Google Place Page today if you haven't in awhile – the one with your business name on it, your photos, your reviews, directions, videos, contact information, custom made maps and etc. on it. The one you've claimed. Scroll down a bit, and you're likely to encounter something that looks like this:
Yes, chances are, your competitors are now being given considerable space on the document you may have begun to think of as your Google Place Page. If, like most of us, Google's September introduction of Place Pages led you to believe that this page belonged to you, you're in good company. It was language like this that probably caused you to feel this way:
If you're a business owner, you can add or update your business details through the Local Business Center. This allows you to make sure your (emphasis mine) Place Page reflects the most accurate, authoritative and recent information about your business.
It sort of sounded like you were in control of your claimed Place Page, and at that time, there wasn't any mention of the fact that you'd soon be hosting your competitors on your company's page. Understandably, Google's latest rollout of the Nearby Places You Might Like feature is ruffling some feathers, but it's doing more than that. The philosophy behind this move is taking on the odd quality of a deja vu…
Do you remember, back in October of 2009, when Mike Blumenthal published this screenshot he took from Merchant Circle?
*Note to Mike: in a blog post about swiping…excuse me, appropriating stuff, I hope you don't mind my appropriating your screen shot. As readers may recall, Merchant Circle launched a campaign of using unclaimed company names in advertisements that listed not the companies' phone numbers, but the phone numbers of things like affiliate model hotel booking sites. There was much speculation about how much of a kickback Merchant Circle was getting for this activity, and there was general loud agreement that this was a lousy, unsavory thing to do. Few were surprised that a company with Merchant Circle's reputation would do something like this, but most folks agreed that using Company A's business name to funnel traffic to Company B, without the knowledge or consent of Company A, is slimy behavior.
And there's that deja vu.
Google has taken on a Merchant Circle aura by giving a big, fat paragraph of links to competitors on both the claimed and unclaimed Place Pages of businesses. All the while you are working to outdistance your competition and distinguish yourself on the local scene with both your offline and online efforts, Google is forgetting to ask your permission to advertise the other guys on what you thought was your Place Page. Matt McGee has succinctly asked the question, Who Owns Your Place Page? and, more directly, Mike Blumenthal has asked Google's Carter Maslan the following question:
MB: If it isn't a Landing Page over which they have reasonable control, what would incent an SMB to claim and control their listing?
CM: The primary reasons to claim your listing are a) ensure the accuracy of the core listing data, b) get insights into how and when people are finding you even before they arrive at your site/doorstep, and c) engage with the people searching for you by posting updates, photos, videos, etc.
Yet again, it's the scenario I have so much trouble with of a corporation creating something with your business name and then expecting you to come a-running over to their ball field to play their game, by their rules, because they've swiped your name and you'd better make sure they aren't misrepresenting you. I've complained about this mentality loud and long over the years, but even I am getting used to the highhanded manner in which Internet hot shots conduct their business affairs. Merchant Circle is just so highly ranked for business names and Google is just so huge…their policies end up setting the tone of the Internet and trying to fight their interpretations of trademarks, copyright and privacy seems borderline hopeless right now. Working on the web as I do every day, I feel a sort of numb acceptance of this. But what I'm not going to get used to any time soon is the semblance of hypocrisy.
What's good for the goose should be good for the gander. I mean, taking into account Google's apparent feeling about using, without permission, one business name to promote the names of other businesses, they shouldn't have a problem with something like this, right:
Wrong! When Google feels threatened by something like a Chinese company using the name Goojje, we read news like this:
Google accused Goojje of infringing on its trademark rights, saying the logo of the Chinese website could make users believe it was authorised by or linked to the US company, the Shenzhen Economic Daily reported.
You see, Google is afraid that someone might be led to believe that this switcharoo stuff with their name might appear to have been authorized by them. It might misdirect the public and lose Google money. They don't want the competition using their name to achieve prominent visibility.
In fact, Google takes their competition so seriously that Search Marketing expert Danny Sullivan suggests that Google's choice to run a first-ever commercial during the Superbowl only served to signal how afraid Google is of their competitor, Bing.
Thus, many of us will scent hypocrisy in the policies of a corporation that fears and tries to extinguish the fire of competition while at the same time forcing millions of small and large businesses to share space with competitors on what was originally presented as a win-win product for business owners and Internet users alike. Business owners are winning a bit less when Google is using their name to display the data of direct local competitors and has the clout to steamroll over any small business squeakings about trademark infringement and fair business practices. And, that's just not nice.
Will the nearby places you might like benefit Internet users? To be fair, I can see how they might. If you're looking for Chinese food in San Francisco, it might be nice to see a list of options. But it won't be nice for the owner of San Tung restaurant who may have worked like crazy to get into the A position for 'chinese restaurants sf' in Google Maps, only to find that his Place Page now lists 10 of his top competitors.
I'd like to finish up by mentioning that Mike Blumenthal did ask Carter Maslan if, in Google's process of doing user-acceptance testing of new features, they ever consider doing SMB-acceptance studies. Maslan's answer:
We want both consumers and businesses to find the results useful in engaging with each other. While the implication is that this feature puts the interests of consumer and business at odds, owners often realize quickly that the Web of connections among places and people is both inbound and outbound.
I know how this answer strikes me, but what I want to know is, how does it strike you?

2014 Buick Regal Adds Safety and Infotainment Technology
Changes to the interior are more noticeable. In addition to color selections and simulated wood trim finishes, the 2014 Regal is equipped with a reconfigurable instrument display and next-generation IntelliLink technology. The latest version of IntelliLink includes a high-resolution, 8-inch color touch screen that allows the user to swipe, pinch, spread, and drag content just like they might on a tablet computer or smartphone. The system also offers natural speech recognition to make hands-free operation easier than before.
Buick also upgrades the 2014 Regal's safety equipment with several new options. A rear cross-traffic alert system, side blind-zone alert system, and lane-departure warning system are available for the 2014 Regal, along with a Lane Change Alert system that can identify when traffic is approaching at a rapid rate of speed and advise against switching lanes. Additionally, the new Regal is available with a forward-collision alert system and collision-mitigation braking for the 2014 model year, and an adaptive cruise control system with full-speed-range operation is optional.
All 2014 Buick Regal models have a new electric steering system. The Regal's standard eAssist mild-hybrid powertrain carries over, pairing a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine with a 15 kW electric motor powered by a 115-volt Lithium-ion battery for a combined 182 horsepower. A 6-speed automatic transmission powers the standard Regal's front wheels.
The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine installed in the Regal Turbo model is, according to Buick, more powerful and more fuel-efficient than last year. It generates 259 horsepower at 5,300 rpm and 295 lb.-ft. of torque starting at 1,700 rpm, 39 more horsepower and 35 additional lb.-ft. of torque than last year, with torque peaking lower in the rev range. A 6-speed automatic transmission is standard for the Regal Turbo.
The performance-oriented 2014 Buick Regal GS is equipped with this same engine. Horsepower is reduced by 11 ponies compared with the 2013 model, but that 295 lb.-ft. of torque matches last year's rating, and comes on a full 800 rpm sooner, so the Regal GS ought to feel just as strong as it did in previous years. Regal GS buyers can choose between a 6-speed manual gearbox and a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Models equipped with the turbocharged engine offer an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system equipped with a limited-slip differential as an option. The Regal AWD is equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission and the HiPer Strut front suspension from the Regal GS.
The 2014 Buick Regal arrives in dealerships in the fall of 2013.

Georgia Softball Dominates Georgia Tech
Christine Olney went 3-for-4 and drove in four runs as the No. 25 University of Georgia softball team handed the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets a 14-1 loss at a rowdy Mewborn Stadium in Atlanta, Ga. The win moves Georgia to 18-7 on the year, as Georgia Tech drops to 13-13
Series Records
Wednesday's meeting with Georgia Tech marks the second of the season. In Georgia's 14-1 win earlier this season, the score was tied for much of the game before Christine Olney drove in two in the top of the sixth to put the Bulldogs on top. Georgia then exploded for 11 runs in the top of the seventh to secure the win. The Bulldogs lead the all-time series against the Yellow Jackets 21-10.
Quick Notes
Wilson: Sophomore Paige Wilson is on a five-game hit streak. For the season, Wilson has recorded a hit in all but four games this season and has reached safely in all but two games.
The Long Ball: Through 36 games this season, the Bulldogs have hit 61 home runs, eclipsing the home run total from last season, when the Bulldogs hit 60. Three Bulldogs have double-digit home runs, compared to just one last season. Geri Ann Glasco leads the way with 13 round trippers, followed by Tina Iosefa with 12 and Kaylee Puailoa with 11. Wilson is on the edge of double figures with nine home runs this season.
Leadoff: The Bulldogs have succeeded at getting the leadoff runner aboard, accomplishing the feat over 40 percent of the team. Glasco is hitting a staggering .630 when leading off an inning, while Puailoa boasts a .529 average when leading off.
Among the SEC's and Nation's Best: The Bulldogs rank at the top of nearly every offensive category including batting average (.353), slugging percentage (.630), on-base percentage (.429), hits (328), RBI (243), home runs (61) and total bases (586). The Bulldogs are second in the SEC in runs scored (266), doubles (49) and third with 10 triples. Georgia also ranks among the nation's leaders in home runs per game (1st), slugging percentage (1st), scoring (5th) and batting average (5th).
On Deck: The Bulldogs will take on its first top-5 team since the Mary Nutter Collegiate Invitational earlier this year when it welcomes Tennessee to Jack Turner Stadium this weekend. The Bulldogs and the Lady Vols will open the three-game series on Friday at 6 p.m., before playing on Saturday at 4 p.m. and on Sunday at 1 p.m. Sunday's game will be televised on Fox SportSouth.

German-based auto parts maker adding 300 jobs in Seguin
Continental Automotive expanding its operation
SEGUIN, Texas - One of the world's leading automotive parts suppliers, Continental Automotive Systems announced its $113 million investment expanding its operation at its Seguin plant, adding 300 jobs over the next five years.
Michelle Culver, the company's spokeswoman, said this will be the plant's 40th year in Seguin. She said initially, the plant was owned by Motorola until it was purchased in 2006 by Continental based in Hanover, Germany.
Since then, she said, the plant's payroll has doubled to 1,600 employees who build engine control systems, the engine computers found in one of every five vehicles in the U.S.
Scott Williams, the plant manager, said 300 new employees will make emissions sensors, currently produced in only Asia and Europe.
He said the jobs that will pay on average about $36,000 a year, almost went to one of its multiple locations in Mexico.
"Made in the U.S.A is something I'm very proud of," Williams said. "Anytime me and my team can make a contribution to save a few jobs for our great country, it makes us all proud."
In order to compete with lower wages in Mexico, Terry Trevino, director of economic development in Seguin, said Continental was offered an aggressive incentive package using $1.2 million from the Texas Enterprise Fund, $600,000 from the Seguin Economic Development Corporation, and a $500,000 workforce grant to offset training for low-to-semi-skilled workers.
"The funds will actually help them get their GED if they don't have that or the necessary skills," she said.
On top of that, Trevino said the Seguin City Council and the Guadalupe County Commissioners Court offered Continental a partial property tax abatement "starting at 80 percent and declining five percent every year for the next five years."
By adding even more employees, Trevino said Continental will be Seguin's largest employer, surpassing Caterpillar that now has a large new plant in the city.
"Yes, they actually will be larger than Caterpillar," Trevino said. "So hopefully that will encourage Caterpillar to continue to grow."

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity, thanks to GV Art, to interview Oron Catts, an artist, designer and curator, who is a frontrunner in the emerging field of the biological-arts. Having been a Research Fellow at Harvard Medical School and married to Ionat Zurr, award winning artist and curator, they set up the Tissue Culture and Art Project in 1996 in the aim of exploring the use of tissue technologies as a medium for artistic expression. In 2000 they launched SymbioticA as the first research laboratory of its kind to offer artists and researchers the opportunity to engage in wet biology practices.
In the first part of the interview I was able to ask Oron about his inspiration for choosing the scientific course of art that he did and spoke to him particularly about The Pig Wings; a piece of art grown from pig bone marrow stem cells. It was interesting to hear about the politics of such a work; particularly surrounding the Human Genome Project, alongside the methodology and the role that music had to play in the project.
Stephanie: How did you become a bio artist? Am I allowed to call you a bio artist?!
Oron: I'd rather not, it's shorthand for what I do. 16-17 years ago I was studying product design and in retrospect I realized then that life is becoming a raw material to be engineered and that the next step is for designers to come in and start to design those biological products that would be engineered by engineers. I found this prospect challenging, exciting and extremely disturbing, so I decided to look at it as an artist. But as an artist I don't need to resolve anything. In a social context, as an artist your role is to problematize issues instead of trying to resolve them. I was never overly optimistic about this prospect, I was very challenged by the notion that if life is becoming a raw material to be engineered, then we have to be very careful about how we go about it. I also recognized that with every new product there were possibilities. As an artist, there is a material, a very old material – that is life – and now we have the capacity to engage with it and manipulate it in ways that have never been possible before.
My area of interest was a particular technology called tissue engineering. The reason I found this so amazing is that it provides the opportunity to basically grow sculptures out of living tissue. In 1996 there was a mouse with a human ear growing on its back and this wasone of my inspirations, provocations and motivations for me to look at this technology. So that year, I approached scientists from the University of Western Australia with the idea of using living tissue as a material for artistic expression and Prof Miranda Groundsinvited me to come into the lab. I had no official biological training but I had some generosity and help with this and other scientists who invited me to the lab. Ionat Zurr joined me shortly after and we started what is now called the Tissue Culture and Art Project. I've worked with living tissue ever since, it's almost been the only thing! In 2000, myself and two other scientists were able to get some finance to build a dedicated research lab for artists working withbiology which is now SymbioticA.
Could you go a little bit into the specifics of some of your projects? Such as Pig Wings, what was your inspiration for this project?
Pig Wings was a really interesting project. What's interesting about living tissue as a medium for artistic expression is that it's this very zone of life
and uncertainty that manifests itself through the fact that you work with living parts of complex organisms but outside their original context. Which means that if I take cells from your body for example, and I start to culture them into something else, it's not you as such, but it is living and it is being manipulated. We actually came up with the term semi-living to describe the type of living tissue that we were working with because it was living to the extent that the cells and the tissue were living but it wasn't living as we perceive it as an organism with life, human or animal.
The Pig Wing is an interesting story, it's a very long story. In 1999, I was invited to give a talk at MIT, and I used the opportunity, being in Boston, to meet with a scientist who was considered the pioneer of the whole field of tissue engineering. After a half an hour discussion with him, he invited Ionat and myself to be research fellows in his lab, so we spent a year
at Harvard Medical School in the tissue engineering lab as research fellows and we started to develop quite a lot. The type of knowledge and experience we gained from spending a year there really fueled our creative practice for many years afterwards as well.
While we were in Boston, we were approached by an organization that will remain nameless for a moment, it was staging an exhibition to celebrate the completion of the first draft of the Human Genome Project (HGP). In June 2000, there was a big event with Clinton and Tony Blair and the head of the National Institute of Health in the US, and the equivalent here in the UK with a few public and private organizations involved in the HGP. They declared the first draft of the HGP complete. That was a political stunt and it wasn't really a scientific achievement. It was a problem that they had when a private company tried to take over the public funded HGP. The media attention was directed towards the competition between private and public and in order to to get the media off their back, everyone decided to declare it complete so that everyone would be happy about it. Everyone but the scientists, because they were aware of the fact that political motivations were actually driving this, and it was a scientific achievement that wasn't really achieved.
It's a story in itself about the politics of science. The HGP was one of the scientific endeavours that was most hyped in the popular press. Therefore, the whole perception of the HGP was actually skewed by a very expensive and sophisticated public relations exercise. So when we were approached to do something for this so-called celebration, we chose to critically engage with the hype that surrounded the HGP and there were quite a few different statements that came about and one of them was that now that the HGP is complete (which it wasn't), that the impossible is possible. We said okay, and pigs can fly. We decided to see what shape the wings would take and so we used bone marrow stems cells from pigs and grew them into three evolutionary solutions of flights in vertebrates; so it's the birds, the bats and the dinosaurs. Therefore it became a political science project in this context.
It was commissioned by the organization that invited us, but once we submitted the proposal for the project it was rejected in the most honest way. We got this really nice rejection letter saying that we didn't represent the public opinion in regard to the HGP, which is a very strange thing to require an artist to do, and of course they questioned the artistic and scientific merits of our work which is fine by me. So the rejection letter from that organization became part of the project because the project was also about public opinion and the way it is being engineered by those developers in order to perceive the image of the project as one thing. It was on our website for quite a while.
Then this organization decided to have an exhibition and in the curatorial statement it said that that they approached artists, anticipating some of the works to be controversial, but to their surprise none of them were. Therefore there was another layer of fabrication and basically they were saying that there was no
curatorial decision and agenda driving the way the exhibition was constructed and they didn't talk about the rejected works. About 3 years later, the organization realized we had the website that involved the exchange between us, and they tried to sue us and remove funding from my university, because that organization was also funding scientific research. It was a very brutal way of doing things.
It got to the point that the very same organization that threatened to sue us then expressed interest in actually buying the Pig Wings to keep us quiet, but they didn't accept the high price we put on it!
It is a really important lesson to learn about how, in this field, there are attempts to govern how artists interact with issues, there are attempts to control their agenda and the type of narratives they distribute. Especially with The Pig Wings project, it's something we are very happy to have happened to us because it's proof that what we're able to do is poke, provoke and disturb. And because we're based in Australia and, in a sense, I don't give a shit, we were able to do it. That was 2000, five years into our practice with very few artists working in this field, we just moved out into the world stage and they didn't really take us seriously, but since then, the power relationship has somewhat changed as we are one of the main centres of this field. It got to the point that the very same organization that threatened to sue us then expressed interest in actually buying The Pig Wings to keep us quiet, but they
didn't accept the high price we put on it!
Can you say who the organization is?
No but I can send you a link to a paper that contains this information. [Big Pigs, Small Wings: On Genohype and Artistic Autonomy, Zurr, I. & Catts, O. (2005). Culture machine, 7, 30-37]
So could you explain a little bit about the methodology surrounding Pig Wings?
As I said I'm not interested in science or contributing to scientific knowledge, it's not my role, but in the case of The Pig Wings, some of the things were so absurd that we felt really obliged to do it in a way that would actually made sense. The process of making the Pig Wings was actually introducing the protocol of the computer aid designinto the lab. The other thing was that we faced a real problem of trying to distribute the cells throughout a 3D scaffold that we constructed. So the way that we used to grow, and to some extent still do, is we create a 3D scaffold out of a degradable material and we then distribute the cells and grow it in special environments which will allow the cells to grow and replace the scaffold. The Pig Wings were, at the time, actually one of the biggest tissue-engineered constructs to ever be made, within the art or the science world, especially to do with their thickness. And we had a system of developing a very porous scaffold in the shape of the wings and this was part of this protocol and we were trying to find ways to distribute the cells throughout the 3D scaffold so we could get a nice thick growth of the tissue in the shapes we wanted. The way you do it is that you grow a monolayer in petri dishes and then you expand it so every few days you use an enzyme that breaks down the glue that holds the cells and you can separate then and put them in 1 dish and then 2 dishes and then 4,8,16,32 so it's an exponential growth until you have enough cells for what you want to do. Then you can use this enzyme you created; essentially a soup from
the cells.
I believe you incorporated the effects of music into your Pig Wings project in collaboration with Adam Zaretsky. Could you explain a little bit about your findings?
What we postulated was that if we created some vibrations throughout the time that the cells are settling in, we would be able to distribute them throughout this 3D scaffold. And we decided to use music. At the time, Adam Zaretsky was doing a project to research the effect of vibrations on cells and did some interesting work in MIT Biology on the effect of music on living systems. So we worked with the systems he developed of those vibrating speakers, we developed this
"dynamic seeding musical bioreactor" which allowed the cells to be distributed in a fairly even way throughout the 3D structure. We had sessions every week where we played music to our pig cells. That was just before Napster, one of the first music sharing programs, was about to be shut down and we put the keyword "pigs" into there and basically played pig music to our pig wings. That was one of the very few times we actually played scientists in that experiment. What we found out was that, as we anticipated, we had much better distribution of the cells throughout the 3D scaffold and, interestingly enough, the morphology, the way the cells were growing, attaching and behaving, was closer to the actual morphology of bone because we used a bone marrow stem cell which we differentiated into bone. And then those we didn't play music to didn't really work so well but on those that we did play music to, after 8 months, had bony structures which were approximately the original shape of the wings that we provided them.

A pro web ranker needs to be on top of their game at all times. There is simply no excuse for not understanding where they need to be at all times. This is the way the world has been, and this is the way the world will remain. Any sense trying to fight it is futile.
A new dawn has arrived and it is called social media. You need to welcome it with open arms or be left in the dust. Another important thing is search engine optimization that many companies have started to employ. This helps with website visibility and traffic. Search engine marketing is extremely important. If you are not doing SEO as a business then your business will be buried by those that are. And if you are one of the few who are actually doing this correctly, you will reap the benefits.
Youtube is an extremely important social media. In fact, they are one of the few properties that actually consists of media – video. Visit the Detroit SEO Youtube page to see an example. Youtube has been hugely important since the early 2000's, but when Google bought them out for over a billion dollars – the world's collective jaw dropped. We knew they were worth something, but a billion dollars? Wow.
Equally as jaw dropping is Google's nemesis, founded by Mark Zuckerberg. Of course I am speaking about Facebook. Take a gander at Detroit SEO Facebook for an example of a great fan page. Facebook exploded early on, and it used to be the little brother of Myspace. Remember Myspace? It was huge – movies used it as their websites. Then all of sudden people tired of Myspace's immaturity and ran to Facebook.
The newest, most popular kid on the block has to be Twitter. This is now a billion dollar company with a novel idea – short blurbs on what everyone is thinking. This is the closest we will come to reading minds.
While not quite on Twitter's level, I love Yelp. This is really the destination for reviews on the businesses. Take a look at Detroit SEO Yelp to see an example of one such page. It is a very useful tool.
Some elders will gawk at those who use social media, but once you look past it, you can see how truly useful it can be. Don't be stuck in the stone age, embrace technology or you will become a relic.
Let's just hope that technology doesn't take over – ala Skynet.
Until we speak again, thank you for reading!

Firefox in two Spaces?
A recent post regarding Spaces got me to relook at this feature. To be useable for me I need Firefox in both Spaces but I cannot appear to do this. I could run Firefox in one Space and Safari in another. This is a bit of a cluge but is workable.
However, I then found I need Excel in both Spaces too - same problem. Unless I run one version of Excel in one Space and an earlier version of Excel or, say, Numbers in the other but then it starts getting silly.
Is there any way around this restriction? It would make Spaces so much more usable for me.
?? Do not use MS Office on my Macs.
Don't use Spaces either.
Can you open two Excel or FF windows in one space?
Then move one of the windows to the 2nd space.
Bobtomay - Brilliant. Works a treat. The best answers are always (well... not always) the simple ones. Many thanks.
If you go to go to System Preferences, then Exposé and Spaces, if you deselect "When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for the application" - you can then be in the desired space - hit cmd-space to bring up spotlight - type firefox - and you'll see the firefox menu bar in that space. You can then open a new window - without manually moving from space to space.
This doesn't seem to work for excel - but there are ways to open multiple fully independent instances of other applications from Terminal - if you want to got that route.
Simply click and hold on a window then press the space shortcuts and the window will be dragged kicking and screaming into the new space.
Not exactly. In one space I wanted the apps needed for a current work related project (excel,word and firefox), in another I had more personal stuff (firefox, excel) and also iphoto, Photoshop Elements...
I see. But I don't see anything wrong with using two browsers. That's what I do at work. One is for work-related sites, the other is for lunch time personal e-mail, and, of course, Mac Forums.

Any guess? Without dmesg, that's ALL we can do: guess. However, here's the rough version of what is going on: The CD boots using the BIOS -- any BIOS supported device can boot the CD. The install is done by OpenBSD, only OpenBSD supported devices can be read AFTER boot. There's really no big surprise, the short version of the problem is "OpenBSD doesn't recognize your CDROM". WHY this is the case, we'd have to see your dmesg (and possibly, need a description of your machine's hookup). > Also I noticed that this machine had windows prior to this > install and had no problems with ultra dma mode enabled(Auto in BIOS). > Does Ultra DMA inprove speed or is just another > manufacturer crap that openbsd do not need? IF you are doing a lot of disk activity, UDMA is very, very nice. For a firewall (very little disk activity), really won't matter a lot unless you are doing a lot of logging to disk. I have a number of non-DMA capable machines in use here and at clients, however if I had a AMD XP2400 that didn't work, I'd fix it. 8) Without the dmesg, all I can say is: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#pciideErr Nick. -- http://www.holland-consulting.net

Diablo III patch 1.0.8 will improve the experience of playing cooperatively, Blizzard has said.
In the upcoming patch, which is currently available on the game's public test realm, Blizzard intends to make co-operative play more appealing by adding matchmaking tags, additional bonuses to playing multiplayer, a decrease in the amount of health monsters get when more players join a game, a new Identify All command, combat alerts, and private chat.
Senior technical game designer Wyatt Cheng said that the RPG isn't currently as good in multiplayer as the developer would like. "From day one, it's been our goal to make Diablo III a great co-op experience," said Cheng, "but right now it's not living up to its full potential. Even if you enjoy playing with your friends, it can often feel easier and more efficient to play solo."
While Cheng describes the co-op experience as "awesome" and beneficial to players in some areas, he adds that it comes with disadvantages "like having to coordinate where you're walking and what you're attacking, losing your followers, and trying to find groups that have similar goals to yours without a defined matchmaking system in place."
"The point is that multiplayer can be lot of fun, but given the downsides it can often feel not worth the effort," concludes Cheng, before asking players to provide feedback on what else Blizzard could do to make the co-op portion of Diablo III more appealing.
More details about Diablo III's 1.0.8 patch are available on Blizzard's site.

Herd stymies Tigers
HUNTINGTON -- All week long, Marshall players heard about how stout of a defense that Savannah State was bringing to the Cam Henderson Center on Wednesday night.
It turns out, the Herd proved it's no slouch on the defensive end, either.
Marshall kept Savannah State without a field goal over a six-minute span late and finished the Tigers off at the foul line in a 64-48 win in front of 5,316 fans at the Cam Henderson Center.
"That was as consistent a 40 minutes of defense that we've played all season, in my opinion -- two halves," Marshall coach Tom Herrion said. "We did a good job bottling them up."
Defensively, Marshall forced 16 turnovers in the contest and did not allow a single 3-point field goal to the Tigers.
It was the first time since Dec. 29, 1991 that Marshall had not allowed an opponent a 3-point field goal in an entire contest -- that coming in a 78-64 loss to Penn State at the Palm Beach Classic.
"That's a credit to our defense, too," Marshall point guard Chris Martin said. "We went over the scouting report and they had some 3-point shooters in the scouting report. We played good defense and didn't let them get any open threes."
That defense shined through in the game's most critical point to secure the victory.
Marshall (7-5) led just 43-39 following a dunk by Savannah State's Arnold Louis with 8:28 left. However, the Tigers' next field goal came on a jumper by Preston Blackman with just 2:00 remaining.
By that point, the Herd had stretched the lead to 16, which matched its largest advantage of the game.
Possibly the most impressive aspect of the stretch was that Marshall did much of its damage at the foul line -- an area the Herd has struggled -- to increase the lead.
Savannah State seemed almost content to gamble at steals and put the Herd on the line once caught in odd-man situations.
The Herd had just four field goals in the final 14:47, but after starting just 2-of-8 from the line, Marshall connected on 13 of its final 15 to solidify the win.
"We made big free throws down the stretch to stretch it out," Herrion said.
Following Louis' dunk, Marshall went on an elongated 11-1 run over the 6:28 stretch which saw both teams struggle to put the ball in the basket.
Finally, D.D. Scarver got the team on track, catching an outlet pass and finishing in transition for a layup that broke a three-minute scoreless streak for both teams.
Just 1:40 later, he buried a 3-pointer to push the team's lead to 12 before Elijah Pittman capped the run with a circus shot in the lane.
Scarver finished with 18 points to lead the Herd, but it was the play of Dennis Tinnon that excited Herrion following the game.
Coming off a pair of rough offensive outings, Tinnon broke out against Savannah State. He finished with 14 points and six rebounds while hitting his first six shots from the field.
Given the full-court pressure defense by the Tigers, Tinnon was also forced to bring the ball up the court for the Herd at times.
"Tonight, I thought he played," Herrion said. "He made plays that were basketball plays. They weren't set plays, not set plays. It was reactionary. He wasn't tentative. He was aggressive."
Herrion credited his bench for getting the team back into the contest after a slow start forced the team to play from a deficit.
Savannah State jumped out to a 14-6 lead after Marshall turnovers turned into easy baskets early.
With the crowd getting a bit restless, the Herd turned up the intensity and got back into the contest quickly.
Marshall went on a 19-4 run over the next six minutes with Scarver providing the exclamation point on the run with a pair of 3-pointers in a 30-seconds span.
Both shots came off assists from Tinnon -- the first off a hustle play in which he corralled an offensive rebound from a missed free throw and fired out to Scarver.
The second came as Tinnon brought the ball up the floor and was double-teamed. He kicked to Scarver who caught in rhythm and buried to pushed the lead to seven -- the Herd's largest of the first half.
"We made two great kickouts to him and found him," Herrion said. "We want him to shoot open shots. He's a deadly catch-and-shoot guy."
Rashad Hassan finished with 11 points for Savannah State (5-7) while Khiry White added 10.
Pittman finished with 10 for the Herd, who returns to action at 4 p.m. on Saturday when they take on Kentucky at Rupp Arena in a nationally-televised game on ESPN2.

My Shot: Laura Baugh
Age 48 • Orlando, Florida
I've been around. I played with Colonel Sanders once. The Colonel Sanders, the Kentucky Fried Chicken guy. I was only 17, and what a weird experience that was. Talking to him was like talking to a Disney character. He looked odd in a golf shirt. I just couldn't get over it. What shocked me was, the Colonel could flat hit it. He told me he loved golf more than chicken.
I'm not a "Mrs." because I'm not married anymore. I don't like "Ms." and I'm sure as heck not a "Miss." I'm just Laura Baugh.
I'm also Fertile Myrtle. I have seven kids. If I were still married, I'd probably have 15 by now. Bushels of them. If a good man came along and the setting was right, it would be a blessing to have more.
I finished second 10 times on the LPGA Tour. At first I figured the wins would come later, and that I'd do the commercials and stuff to make money and concentrate harder on my golf after I was all set. But I never did win. I started having babies, and when I teed it up between children, I found more ways to get beat than you can imagine.
My 6-year-old started first grade a few months ago. For the first time in 21 years I had five hours a day to myself. It was a shocking thing, because for two decades straight I either had a baby in me or on me. So what do I do now? Well, the first day I got my nails done. That was neat. The next day it was like, What do I do now? I called a friend, and she told me I needed to get a hobby. That seemed like a good idea. So I decided to take up golf.
After I drop the kids off at school, I go to Perkins for breakfast. Tiger Woods comes in a lot with Mark O'Meara and John Cook. Tiger always walks in with a cell phone to his ear, pretending he's talking so no one will bother him. I've sat there over my coffee and watched him. Man, is he gorgeous or what?
I can't remember not playing golf. I won the National PeeWee five times, the first time when I was 3. It was a three-hole tournament, all par 3s. I won my division by, like, 35 shots. I was a talented little thing, but remember, this was 1958. There were only three girls in my division.
My dad insisted that I play golf every day. Sometimes it was too much for a little girl. There was a theater in town that had Saturday matinees. The other 10-year-old girls at school got to go to the movies, and I desperately wanted to go with them, but my dad wouldn't let me. "We play golf on Saturdays," he said. I got very angry, but I accepted it, and, in a way, liked it. My whole life, I couldn't play enough golf.
There's this debate as to whether Michelle Wie's parents are doing the right thing, having her compete so much at such a high level at so tender an age. It's a moot point discussing it now, because the cat's already out of the bag. Once you give a kid a taste of something as grandiose as what she's experienced, there is no living way you can roll it back. It would almost be cruel. Did you know Michelle wears a size-11 shoe? It's amazing, but it's true. And she'll never wear a size 10 again.
My mom and dad divorced when I was 11. My mom and I moved from Florida to Long Beach, Calif. She got us into a studio apartment there. Olive Avenue, No. 3B. It was in a bad neighborhood. The rent was $40 a month. I lived on a diet of popcorn, lemon-chiffon ice milk and Omega hamburgers. I was cold, hungry and scared. It was a strange time, because right in the middle of it, at age 16, I won the U.S. Women's Amateur. I traveled alone; my dad sent me a standby airline ticket, and I stayed in private housing. There was all this opulence amid the poverty we lived in.
A lot of us kids snuck onto the public courses around town. We'd get kicked off, then sneak right back on. Once we snuck onto the same course three times in one day. For kids who can't afford to play, I have no problem with them sneaking on, so long as they leave the course as they found it. They say there's no such thing as a victimless crime, but I have a hard time feeling sorry for the "victim" in this case.
We didn't have a TV until I was 17. My mom and I only watched TV when we went to my grandparents' house, where I had to watch a lot of "Bonanza." Since there was no TV, I read all the time. Because of that, I graduated from high school two years early, when I was 15, with a 4.0 grade-point average. Stanford offered me a full-ride academic scholarship when I was 17 — just when I was catching reruns of "Bewitched" and "Gilligan's Island."
I turned Stanford down. IMG [International Management Group] offered me $1,000 to turn pro and go to Japan, all expenses paid. How could I refuse? It seemed like a fortune. Stanford didn't have a golf program, so there would have been no golf. By taking IMG's offer, I figured I'd play professionally for a few years, then quit and go back to school. It didn't work out that way. It never does. You think Tiger Woods is going to go back to college, ever? Please.
My second boyfriend was also my first husband. The marriage lasted a month. He beat me up on our wedding night, and it got worse. Sam Snead, of all people, knew about this guy. "Be careful, Laura," he said. He phoned me a lot to see how I was doing. When the marriage ended, Sam called. "I knew he was bad," he said, "but I couldn't tell you." Sam always looked out for me. He had softness about him a lot of people didn't know about.

Revolution 2016: Take back America
Item Description
Award winning authors Lee and Vista Boyland have penned a political-satire-thriller that takes the reader on a frightening journey of an all too possible future. This no-holds-bared novel cuts to the quick on the gun control issue threatening to divide the nation.
Progressive-liberals gain control of both houses of Congress in the November 2014 elections; and plan to pass draconian gun control legislation allowing them to seize guns as soon as the new Congresses is seated. Now they can ignore the outdated Constitution and complete the transformation of America. The president plans to use his paramilitary police force and the military to enforce laws that violate the Second and Fourth Amendments; forcing the military and many civilians to decided whether to obey the president or to uphold their oath, "to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic."
As the year 2015 unfolds, America finds itself at the top a slippery slope leading to socialism and a dictatorship. Following proven methods used by Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Fidel Castro, Pol Pot, Mao Zedong, and Hugo Chavez, Congress passes new laws setting the stage for the confiscation all firearms.
If the Second Amendment can be ignored, then the entire Constitution can be ignored, trashed. Enactment of gun control laws awakens citizens who believe in the Constitution. They realize it is up to them to save the Constitutional Republic know as the United States of America, and the revolution begins.
Revolution 2016: Take back America is too real to be fiction, but that's what it is—a satire that defines the clash of progressive-liberal and conservative ideologies. The authors weave real events into a story that that creates a collage of real events that have happened and future events—events that seem all to possible; a story that will frighten, anger, and above all shock readers.

ICAO remains optimistic that it can introduce a CO2 standard sometime in 2013, but the organisation realises that deadline could be compromised if resources are dedicated to concurrent projects on noise stringency and certification of particulate matter emissions for aircraft engines.
The organisation is working towards creating a standard to coincide with the next cycle of its Committee on Aviation Environment Protection (CAEP) 9 scheduled for 2013.
During the ICAO Colloquium on Aviation and Climate Change Curtis Holsclaw, who serves as Rapporteur of the CAEP working group on emissions, explained the three year timeframe to complete the complex task of establishing the standard is unprecedented.
The working group must ensure the standard is equitable across all products and manufacturers, and allows flexibility in aircraft design, says Holsclaw.
Other issues the group needs to consider include determining specific aircraft to which the standard would apply, explains Holsclaw. The group needs to determine if the standard will encompass only new aircraft types, or if in-service aircraft should be included, he says.
As the group looks at options for certification of the new CO2 standard, Holsclaw stresses the importance of examining cost analysis for different stringency standards as regulatory compliance guidelines are developed .
Holsclaw admits the group is already struggling with determining metrics to accompany the CO2 standard, and warns other standards the group is tasked with developing including noise stringency and particulate matter could tax its resources.
As ICAO works to develop a CO2 standard NASA is conducting its own research in carbon dioxide reduction through its environmentally responsible aviation (ERA) project, and has determined if noting changes in the aviation industry CO2 emissions in the USA will double by 2050. But using some of the technologies under consideration and in development through ERA NASA chief engineer for aerosciences Larry Leavitt estimates CO2 emissions could fall by 40% during the same time period.
Leavitt explains biofuels are not being used in ERA, noting NASA believes there is a cost associated with the introduction of those fuels.
ICAO is working to develop its draft resolution on international aviation and climate change for introduction during the 37th assembly of its member states scheduled for September.

Do you need to purge your tanks before filling to get them to fill up all the way?
if so, what is the easiest way of doing this?
Do you need to purge your tanks before filling to get them to fill up all the way?
if so, what is the easiest way of doing this?
I guess you could purge a new tank containing air by having the solonoid valve open and vented for a few seconds. Will not accomplish much. It's not like a system where non-condensables screw up the operation.
Air , natural gas mix pretty well , and the issue of " non-conceables " really is not an issue because everything except compressor oil is in a gas state. Not much , if any oil should be in the tank anyway.
What is the "water capacity" of the tank and how much cng are you able to get in it at 3000# or 3600#
Last edited by Lakewood90712; 07-23-2011 at 06:52 AM.
I have two tanks, right now they are single and not connected together.
each are 100 Liters
last night i was able to fill the first one to about 6 gallons.
the other one to 4 gallons.
although the filling station is kind of tricky, as the first time i went it filled 1.5 gallons and wouldn't put after that. I then re-ran my credit card about 5 times with nothing pumping after that.
this time, i ran my credit card and the first activation it didn't pump anything, i re-ran my card and it actually pumped 6 gallons into one tank until i temporary shut it off to disconnect and connect to the other tank, it wouldn't pump anymore, have to re-run my credit card and it pumped 4 gallons.
this is all done on 3000psi
6 gge from a 3,000# fast fill is about all you will get in a 100L tank. The most I have gotten in a 100L "empty" tank with 3600# fast fill is about 7.25 gge. Did you try the second tank right after ? , if it is a very small station , you might be already drawing down the station pressure. Does the station have a dial pressure gauge ?
No, you don't need to 'purge' your tanks to get 'full' fills. The pressure at the dispenser you were using was probably low when you got little or nothing. Once you fill a tank, the trick is to wait for it to cool and then you can usually get a little more in there. Most dispensers will not give you the full pressure below a certain temperature (to allow for expansion with rising temperature) and at higher temperatures there will also be less gas delivered to a given size tank at a given pressure. But the bottom line is that it all depends on what ACTUAL pressure the dispenser is delivering, not what's left in your tank.

Two decades into democracy, South Africa has done well in nearly doubling higher education enrollments. But racial inequities remain, growth has been stifled by government reluctance to open up to the private sector, and its "flirting with a welfarist neo-socialist model" of free university for the poor has spawned student demands and protests, says Thandwa Mthembu, vice-chancellor of the Central University of Technology, Free State.
Mthembu was speaking at the triennial conference of the International Association of University Presidents, or IAUP, held in Yokohama, Japan, from June 11-14. His topic was the 'massification' of higher education in South Africa.
The country's Constitution and policies have articulated, among other things, the needs to redress historical inequalities, improve the quality of life of all citizens and free their potential, and increase participation rates through the 'massification' of higher education.
