We've been told physical exercise and healthy eating may improve longevity and the quality of life, but older people engaging in healthier lifestyles have been warned to 'be careful'.
Britain's New Age magazine lists some of the top diet and fitness mistakes to avoid in order to help you 'age well'.
Fitness and ageing mistake #1: Over-indulging in desserts. The process by which sugar is broken down damages collagen which helps in keeping the skin smooth and firm. Experts recommend eating low-glyecmic carbohydrates, such as whole grains that are naturally low in sugar, thus limiting the loss of collagen.
Fitness and ageing mistake #2: You completely avoid fat, carbs and calories. When you consume an unbalanced diet, your nails, skin and hair may suffer. A diet that is devoid of calories from fats can have a derogatory impact on cell division, cell regeneration and can also play havoc with your skin texture and tone. The ageing body reportedly needs fatty acids which the body cannot produce on its own and are used to maintain hydration. A part of the brain's building blocks, foods such as fish, whole grains, cereals and oils, may also help in preventing memory loss.
Fitness and ageing mistake #3: You completely miss out on essential nutrient intake. You tend to avoid magnesium and copper intake, which is reportedly important in maintaining joint cartilage and flexibility. These nutrients, as well as other essential micro and macro nutrients, help in eliminating pain and may assist in strengthening joints which is needed in old age. Eat foods such as nuts, spinach and dense lean protein.
Fitness and ageing mistake #4: You don't follow a strength training routine. An average 30-year-old can expect to lose about 25% muscle mass and strength by the age of 70 years and another 25% at 90 years. Decline in strength can easily be regained by older adults by performing strength training. Strength training works well for most adults as the loss in muscle mass in old age affects the body in more ways than one.
If your muscles are stronger then they can 'pluck' much better nutrients and oxygen from your blood and any kind of activity will put less pressure on your heart.
Fitness and ageing mistake #5: You don't give your body a break. If your exercise routine is very intense, you need rest days in order to avoid overuse and muscle injury. It is important to plan your exercise routine well. If there is no balance between breakdown and recovery, then your muscle might be in a chronic state of inflammation.

Well said, NoPol.
Doesn't anybody remember that Bush (Mr. Businessman) said the economy was just fine while his own people were saying we're in serious trouble? Doesn't anyone remember that it all fell apart in a matter of days - and the economy expert Republicans had no clue until the sh*t hit the fan? The Republicans and their blind faith in free markets and competition let business go wild - rip off the little people - and the rich go on their merry way.
Lot's of people lost lots of money with the market collapse - where did that money go, do ya think? To the lazy poor? I think not.
Threatened by a potted plant.
Know anything about Joseph Smith?
It's time to get big government out of our bedrooms and let the American people do what they do best!
Sounds like the temporary Bush tax cuts to me. Oh those crying rich people!
Oh, I get it. You have to be a bigot before you can call someone else a bigot, right?
Good observation. Clowning for the Lord?
We have health insurance through my wife's employer, and we couldn't even tell that anything has changed. Zero impact on us. This is why I don't believe that 33% of the nation have actually been hurt by this plan - of course they may believe that they have been hurt.
I love the comment above about all the illegal aliens that "we" spent money on. Not just them, "we" spend money on ANYONE who is not insured. Hospitals do not turn these people away. We pay for them through the HIGH PRICES that are paid by us directly, or by insurers, to make up for the money the hospitals spend to treat the uninsured. Of course, this is a vicious circle. The higher medical expenses get, the more expensive insurance becomes, and the more that employers cut back on insurance - thus MORE UNINSURED! This uninsured people need healthcare like anyone, and after they mortgage their lives away to pay for it, they too will get free treatment.
The vicious circle needs to stop. This program is one way to stop it. This is why the plan "forces" everyone to have insurance. Some folks think this is "socialist", "communist", etc. and they want to be free not to have any health insurance at all. Well, we all pay for their freedom from Obamacare, in many ways.
...and if you had no online presence at all, no email, no facebook, etc... they'd probably think there is something wrong with you and not hire you for that reason.
You're right. Christians need to learn more about people of other faiths. Don't burn our Bible, we won't burn your Koran.
Second paragraph. Isn't Sunderland west of Boston?
Looks like the Obama haters here love "the mortgage companies, payday lenders, debt collectors and other financial operations often blamed for practices that helped undermine the economy".
Don't worry, the Republicans will give them a kiss for you.
Uh... blaming Obama and liberals for CUTS to assistance for the poor???!!? Yeah, right. It just goes to show that Obama haters are just that... haters. No fact or logic will sway their beliefs.
Looks like you folks are allergic to the word "loan" which is all over this article. It appears to me that the students will pay for it through additional fees over the 30-year period of the loan. Yes, the taxpayers will lose whatever business and property taxes that the business paid.
I guess the taxpayer will just have to Grynn and Barrett over that one.
This is what happens when the profit motive substitute for constitutional values. The cowardice of corporations empowers the bigoted and bone-headed. This is what we have become. Don't bemoan the fact that our politicians are similarly empowered - as proxies to the balance sheets of the big corporations. What principles can we expect them to stand up for when the black and red replace the red, white, blue?
Wow, that's great then. A total win-win. BOA looses the losers, and local banks get the capital. I'm actually not sure what BOA is doing for business now. Apparently they are not booking mortgages, and businesses are having problems getting loans from them.
Maybe this is just what need. Move it back to the locals and let them make loan decisions with people and companies that they actually might know.
...and cut taxes and drastically inflate the deficit. Just like Reagan. I thought spending your way out of a recession was a no-no.
Damn, straight! Bring back the AMERICAN migrant farm worker!
EVERY issue is far more complicated than what the average American attention span can handle. That doesn't stop arm-chair politicians from coming up with "simple" solutions though. It's great you came to notice this as regards this GOP mandated and expensive program. Are you as fair-minded when it comes to the other side?
He cheated Mephistopheles.

facepalm. Why dont you go ask if SPuat's offensive linecoach grades out OL's after each game. essentialy that is what this scoring scheme is. Considering how much bammers claim they are gods gift to football, they realy know nothing about how it works.
Arrogant bammer is, well, arrogant. I love how you try to inflate your own worth by claiming that AU cant move past the bammer win. You're not that important to us. Yes, bammer is our biggest rival and our comeback was epic, but Im pretty sure most AU fans enjoyed the game against the duckies a tad bit more. You dont see it posted on here because, well, we arent in oregon, and no duckies are constantly on here trashing us. Do the math.
Haha, wut?! Okay, if thats true, then bammers obviously arranged the commitments to AU then the reversal, which says even more about the tide's complex with AU and trying to scheme up a way to make it look like you guys "won". So either route you take on this one, you look like an ignorant tool man.
While, true, this is not good news, I think the game plan even with a 100% healthy Blake would large doses of Dyer, and McCalleb. Field position and ball control are musts for us o win Saturday. TOP was the distinguishing factor between the USCe win and the rest of our games.
I think we will score on your defense, plenty. But can we stop the air attack is the question.
I also didnt realize that it's now called "spearing" and warrants a foul when the ball pops out and teh defensive player is trying to recover the potential fumble. Good grief bammers go away.
Fan favorites? Ummm, Raven Gray's best highlight was on NSD, he was a bust from the get go. Only recruiting followers even new who he was. Chaz Ramsey was a solid player, but then he burned his bridge with the lawsuit against AU trainers years before this HBO interview. Troy Reddick was a good player as well, but most AU fans probably couldnt identify him in a choice between him and Grimace from McDonalds. McClover was the only player that irked people, but he has also shown a tremendous ability to make mistakes (see leaving early and busting in the NFL), so that was no shocker. These were not heralded players, three of them clearly held a grudge against AU, so why would you think that they were fan favorites?
Hate to break it to you rubber duckie, but AU also played 9 conference games this year. You see, we have a little thing called a Conference Championship game which makes it even harder for an SEC team to make it to the BCS Nat'l Championship. And you are going to start calling out our cupcake OOC schedule? You really think Clemson was as weak as some of your OOC and Conference games? Didnt realize that New Mexico was the powerhouse it was and that Portland State (who!?) had anything more than a women's volleyball team. Further, Wash State, Az State and UCLA (probably Cal too) would all be lower-third teams in the SEC. And are you really calling us out for road games?!? See, in college football, schedules are put in place years before the season, and conference games rotate, so thats out of our hands. We had some big games at home for sure, but we just recently went to the GA Dome (which is not in AU, by the way) and completely dismantled the SEC East champs. Oh, in case you havent forgotten, we went into the house of the defending national Champs and came back from being down 24-0 and won. Although, we are 7-1 there so I guess you could say that was a home game as well.
Will yall erect a moral victory statute at Jordan-Hare West if they do? hahaha silly bammers...

That why I wont go clubbing anymore. Every time I read about somebody being shot in front of a club or a bar over some scattered azz,it makes me sick! You dont need to bring a gun to have a drink and a dance!
Whats he shaking his head for? The judge wasnt supposed to set his bail so high?
Looks like a couple of strippers who tried to take me home once!lol
I dont like Christie but what he said is 100% correct.If the gun laws in NJ were any stricter then the sale of weapons in this state would be completely illegal. Polititians should stop using this tragedy for their own personal agendas.It doesnt matter how many rounds of ammo a magazine can hold,it only takes asecond to reload a fresh magazine.
She was trying to get out of tipping the dryers and didnt notice there was a river on her escape route
Unfortunatley here in NJ we are not allowed to protect ourselves from violent assaults,we must retreat or risk prosecution and imprisonment along with the shooters...
He was just preparing himself for when the zombies come
I dont know what it is about warm weather that makes people lose their minds like this but im waiting for it to be cold again so i can ride my bike in peace
wow! so the gun walked out of its holster and shot the woman in the chest on its own? They must think everybody who read these articles are stoned
This is actually the only thing he has said i can agree with
maybe its because nobody can afford fancy digs like those in this economy yet...

Great tool, helped me a lot to compare two directory trees with generated source code.
Excellent merge and diff tool with unique features. Both the folder comparison and inline differences are most welcome. Manual editing features simplify three way merge. Easy to integrate into development tool-chains and version control system. The windows explorer integration also rocks! And I could go on quite a bit, if I would want to spend more time on this review! (It also easy to build on platforms with access to qt, in case you want to learn a bit about its internals.)
The greatest diff GUI I've ever seen! Once I learned how to use it, I found that its method of inline editing (which I needed under KDE) was the best.
This is a great tool for easily comparing configuration and code files.
Hi there, I'm a software developer and programmer and I have been testing all major diff N merge tools out there and while Kdiff3 look out-dated plus doesn't have a nice "visual" appearance and it may be a little difficult to learn at the beginning, it's comparing skills did surprise me!! it compares on a character level, not line level like beyond compare or code compare from devart, and once you learn to use it even directories synchronization becomes easy. Overall I would recommend this to every developer or programmer it is Free and Open source! big plus! Easily the best Free ~ OSS Diff/Merge Tool.

SU's Robust Graphic Design Program Continues to Dazzle Judges
August 6, 2007
SELINSGROVE, (Pa.) – From 0-65 in 4.0 years: this has been the enrollment growth in the graphic design program at Susquehanna University since its introduction in the fall of 2003. But according to Mark Fertig, assistant professor and chair of the Department of Art, "The program's popularity among new students is tempered by a desire to provide graphic design majors with one-on-one attention and the close student-faculty collaboration indicative of a Susquehanna education. So, while the program will boast a healthy enrollment of 65 majors, including 14 new students, this fall, the number represents steady enrollment reflective of the program's selectivity."
This selectivity is evident in the high quality work being produced by its majors. Several students earned high honors for their work last year and will have their designs placed in national and international publications.
Katie Lesser, a 2007 graduate from Schnecksville, Pa., recently won a gold medal at the regional ADDY competition in New York City, paving the way for her participation in nationals. The student ADDY awards competition gives college students the opportunity to be judged as industry professionals are from across the country.
Lesser also contributed to Susquehanna's strong performance at the Greater Frederick Advertising Federation's (GFAF) ADDY competition earlier this year. SU's graphic design majors earned 17 of the 27 total student awards, more than all the other schools combined at the competition. Among the award winners was 2007 graduate Jordan Mollot, of Chestnut Ridge, N.Y., who won the Best of Show gold award and a $500 prize.
In April, nine students earned recognition at the 32nd annual Art Director's Club of Metropolitan Washington's "Real Show." Ten of the 31 exhibited pieces were created by SU students, more than any other school attending the competition. The winners included rising senior Kelly Ely, of Jersey Shore, Pa, and rising junior Anne Toal, of Haverton, Pa., who received silver medals, and rising junior Joe Pilcavage, of Carbondale, Pa., who received a gold medal. The other students who placed in the competition were 2007 graduates Lesser and Amanda Lenig, of Liverpool, Pa.; rising seniors Jessie Stoltzfus, of Marysville, Pa., Steven Semanchik, of Frackville, Pa., and Courtney Thibeault, of Brielle, N.J.; and rising junior Tracy Brauner, of Palm, Pa. Susquehanna's placement in the competition topped that of such schools as American University, Pennsylvania State University and James Madison University.
For the second consecutive year, SU students also earned high honors at the national American Corporate Identity (ACID) competition. Susquehanna had 21 pieces selected for publication by Harper Collins. The book, in which the pieces are showcased, is distributed internationally and sold in major bookstores around the world.
Last fall, 2006 graduate Nick Stephenson, a native of Montclair, N.J., who resides in Selinsgrove, Pa., and serves as associate director of admissions at Susquehanna University, won four gold medals at the annual CREATE magazine student competition. His work appeared in the November/December issue of the magazine. In addition, Leslie Hanson, a rising senior from New York City, had three pieces juried into the student section of the CREATIVITY annual, which will be published by Harper Collins later this year.

An endothermic cooler (10) for electronic components (16) in, for example, a missile (12) includes an enclosure (14) having a thermally conductive coupling to the electronic component. A source of water in a first compartment (28) is segregated from salts in a second compartment (30). The salts are capable of providing an endothermic reaction when mixed in a water solution. The two compartments are segregated from one another by a membrane or conduit (32). The membrane is pierced by a spike (34-2 or 34-3) through an actuating mechanism (36) and the conduit is opened by a valve (34-4). Formation of the solution provides cooling for conduction of heat from the electronic component through a thermally conductive plate (24) and its fins (26).
1. An endothermic cooler for electronic components comprising:
an enclosure having a thermally conductive coupling to an electronic component;
a source of water;
a composition of matter disposed in said enclosure and capable of providing an endothermic reaction when mixed in solution with the water;
means for effecting the solution comprising:
a) a compartment containing said composition of matter within said enclosure;
b) means for segregating the water from said composition of matter; and
c) means for rendering said segregating means ineffective comprising: a solenoid, an AND gate coupled to said solenoid, a thermocouple thermally coupled to said electronic component, an arming circuit, and a temperature sensing circuit coupled to said thermocouple, said temperature sensing circuit being coupled in parallel with said arming circuit to said AND gate, thereby to enable mixing of the water and the composition of matter.
2. An endothermic cooler according to claim 1 in which said segregating means comprises a water impervious membrane, and said means for rendering said segregating means ineffective comprises a membrane piercing means coupled to said solenoid.
3. An endothermic cooler according to claim 1 in which said segregating means comprises a conduit coupling said source of water to said enclosure, and said means for rendering said segregating means ineffective comprises a valve in said conduit.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to apparati and methods for cooling of electronic components and, more particularly, for endothermic cooling utilizing a composition of matter, such as a salt, which is capable of providing an endothermic reaction when placed in solution.
2. Description of Related Art and Other Considerations
In any electronic equipment, the temperature of each component will rise until it is hot enough to transfer its internally generated heat to the surroundings. If the cooling design is not adequate, the component itself will become overly hot, as it attempts to transfer heat from itself, and will malfunction or even destroy itself. Therefore, many implementations have been designed to conduct heat from the electronic equipment or individual component to the surrounding environment, sometimes aided by cooling fins, by such methods as radiation and natural convection, forced air cooling, forced liquid cooling, and liquid evaporation.
In some cases, the electronic component itself is at a higher temperature than the surroundings. Because heat flows from hot to cold bodies, such components can be cooled by one of above-mentioned methods. In other cases, however, electronic performance can only be achieved by lowering the temperature of the electronic component below that of its surroundings, such as by refrigeration. In the refrigeration process, heat does not flow from the electronic component, but is pumped or otherwise removed by the refrigeration system from the cold component to the hot surroundings. Examples of refrigeration systems for electronic equipment include refrigerated cooling air or cooling liquid, refrigerated heat sinks, and thermoelectric coolers. Each of these refrigeration schemes requires input energy for operation and eventual heat dissipation to the environment.
There are disadvantages associated with conventional cooling arrangements. Their use adds weight and expense to the system in which they are used. For airborne and space vehicles, and to a lesser extent other transportable mechanisms, weight is a very important concern, especially where the overall weight must be apportioned between the payload and the supporting system therefor, whether defined in terms of its propulsion system or otherwise. It is obvious, therefore, that, if the weight of the cooling system can be reduced, the payload can be proportionately increased. This consideration applies not only to the vehicle itself, but also to the transporter for the vehicle. For example, a missile carries a payload or warhead to a target. If the refrigeration system of the missile can be reduced in weight, its warhead or guidance system can be increased. Therefore, for a given weight of missile, it becomes possible to maximize its use. On the other hand, it also becomes possible to decrease the entire weight of the missile and, therefore, to enable the aircraft to add additional equipment or other missiles. These weight considerations become particularly important with respect to mechanisms which do not require greater than a single use, such as is particularly true with respect to missiles.
It is equally obvious that a decrease in weight not only makes the vehicle more cost efficient but also enables the additional costs of special cooling equipment to be reduced, at times to significant degrees.
Therefore, in many cases, expensive and reusable refrigeration methods and mechanisms are not needed, and it becomes advantageous if such needs and attendant hardware, such as external cooling fins, can be eliminated.
These and other problems are successfully addressed and overcome by the present invention. Briefly, an endothermic cooler is used to refrigerate or cool electronic components and other devices. Specifically, the cooling is attained through the endothermic mixing of certain compositions of matter, such as salts, in a solvent which produces relatively cold solutions. The cold solution provides the necessary temperature reduction required for heat transfer and, therefore, the driving force for cooling the electronic device.
In practice, the salt, or solute, and the water, or solvent, are separately packaged. The preferred packaging is an enclosure having a good thermal contact with the equipment to be cooled. The enclosure is divided into two compartments in which the salt and the water are respectively placed. The compartments are separated by a water-tight membrane to ensure that the salt and the water do not mix until desired, which occurs upon piercing the membrane. Piercing can be initiated upon receipt of a signal from a thermocouple or other heat sensor placed on the component.
An arming mechanism is placed in parallel with the thermocouple so that both the thermocouple and the arming mechanism act together to permit the piercing. This feature is useful during storage of the vehicle in which the electronic component is housed.
Several advantages are derived from this arrangement. Because cooling by use of an endothermic solution requires neither an input energy for operation nor a heat sink for dissipating heat, the costs and weight are significantly reduced over that of conventional cooling systems and methods. Thus, the prior art need for external cooling fins and the need for dissipating waste heat is eliminated. A greater proportion of weight and cost can be directed toward payload, whether for an explosive device in a missile or for guidance systems for directing the vehicle to its intended objective or for other non-cooling purposes. Also, because the heat is not dissipated to the environment, the heat is less likely to be detected by hostile sensors, a potentially significant tactical advantage. The invention becomes particularly useful for systems which are not reusable or intended to be reused, such as in a missile.
Other aims and advantages, as well as a more complete understanding of the present invention, will appear from the following explanation of exemplary embodiments and the accompanying drawings thereof.
FIG. 1 shows a preferred use of the present invention in a missile guidance system;
FIG. 2 is a view of a first embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 3 illustrates a second embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 4 depicts a third embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 1, an endothermic cooler 10 is positioned in a missile 12 for cooling an electronic circuit package or detector package assembly, such as in a missile guidance system 13. Such a cooler 10 is more specifically disclosed as coolers 10-2, 10-3, and 10-4, respectively illustrated in FIGS. 2-4.
As shown in FIG. 2, endothermic cooler 10-2 comprises an enclosure 14-2 for an electronic circuit package or detector package assembly or similar component 16, which includes a lid 18 and other enclosing materials from which conductive wire leads 20 extend.
Enclosure 14-2 includes a cover portion 22-2 and a closure plate 24-2. Cover 22-2 is formed of any thermally and, preferably, electrically insulative material, e.g., of ceramic or plastic. Plate 24-2 comprises a thermally conductive material and may be provided with fins 26-2 to increase its thermally conductive area. Plate 24-2 is in good thermal contact with lid 18 of electronic component 16, to ensure that good heat movement will pass between the two.
Enclosure 14-2 is segregated into a pair of compartments 28-2 and 30-2 by a water impervious membrane 32-2. The membrane is formed from a suitable water or other solvent impermeable material, such as a polymer or metal foil, for example, of aluminum or tin. Water is the preferred solvent, although other solvents, such as acetone, may be employed. Water, preferably deionized water to preclude any degradation of the system, is disposed within compartment 28-2.
A composition of matter or solute, having the characteristic of providing an endothermic reaction when placed in solution with a suitable solvent, such as water, is placed within compartment 30-2, and kept dry by membrane 32-2 until ready for use as a cooling agent. Such a composition of matter, which comprises one or more of a selected group of salts, produces relatively cold solutions. Salts capable of producing the desired endothermic cooling may be selected from those listed in the table printed on Page D-102 of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 57th edition. Based upon experimental testing, the following salts have been found suitable for use in the present invention to provide a design based upon a 1.5 watt capacity over 20 minutes (1800 Joules). The amounts of salt and water required to meet the desired cooling requirement, as listed in the below table, have been calculated, assuming a solution heat capacity of approximately 1 cal/gram � C. The final solution temperature, also indicated in this table, assumes a starting temperature of 22� C.
______________________________________ Final Amount Amount Solution of of Total Temperature Water Salt WeightSUBSTANCE (�C.) (grams) (grams) (grams)______________________________________Potassium Thio- -11 4.7 8.3 13.0cyanateAmmonium Thio- -10 5.9 7.5 13.4cyanateAmmonium Ni- -1 8.4 10.2 18.6tritePotassium Iodide 0 8.2 11.3 19.5Ammonium Chlo- 4 18.4 5.5 23.9rideAmmonium Ni- 5 13.7 11.6 25.3triteAmmonium Ace- 11 17.8 21.3 39.1tateSodium Nitrite 13 26.0 21.8 47.8Sodium Nitrate 14 28.0 25.8 53.8______________________________________
The selection of these salts was based upon the desire to utilize the least amount of salt with a maximum cooling. It is to be understood that salts other than those listed above may be utilized in order to tailor the endothermic solution to the specific need required.
In order to form a solution, membrane 32-2 must be pierced or otherwise rendered ineffective from its function of segregating the two compartments. A preferred system comprises the use of a piercing spike 34-2, which is actuated by a mechanism 36-2.
Actuating mechanism 36-2 includes a solenoid 38-2, which is energized by both a temperature sensing circuit 40-2 and an arming circuit 42-2 operating through an AND gate 44-2. A thermocouple 46-2, which is placed in thermal contact with electronic component 16, is coupled to temperature sensing circuit 40-2 and senses the temperature of the electronic component. All these devices are of conventional construction.
Therefore, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is desired that spike 34-2 is operative to pierce membrane 32-2 only when temperature circuit 40-2 and arming circuit 42-2 are both actuated. Their signals, therefore, must both be sensed by AND gate 44-2 in order that solenoid 38-2 be energized. This dual input ensures that cooler 10-2 will not prematurely operate, that is, to mix the water and the salts into a solution, such as when a missile is still being carried by an aircraft or other transport vehicle. At the time of the launch of the missile from the aircraft, arming circuit 42-2 is activated so that only a temperature signal conducted from thermocouple 46-2 to temperature sensing circuit 40-2 will permit AND gate 44-2 to provide the actuating signal to solenoid 38-2 and thereby cause spike 34-2 to rupture membrane 32-2.
FIG. 3 depicts multiple use of an endothermic cooler 10-3 which comprises a battery of compartments 28-3 and 30-3 separated by their membranes 32-3. Each of these compartments and membranes are formed within an enclosure 14-3, which is segregated by walls 50 into four pairs of solute-solvent compartments. In other respects, cooler 10-3 is exactly like cooler 10-2 described with respect with the embodiment disclosed in FIG. 2. In FIG. 3, individual piercing spikes 34-3 for each of the membranes 32-3 are operated individually by their own actuating mechanisms 36-3, each being configured like mechanism 36-2 of FIG. 2. Therefore, it is possible to cool an electronic component several times over, simply by permitting a seriatim operation of the individual actuating mechanisms 36-3 to effect the seriatim rupture of their respective membranes 32-3.
Referring now to FIG. 4, an endothermic cooler 10-4 includes an enclosure 14-4 having a compartment 30-4 for containing the salts within a cover 22-4. In this embodiment, the water containing compartment, designated by indicium 28-4, is spaced from enclosure 14-4 but connected thereto by the equivalent of piercing spikes 34-2 and 34-3 of the prior embodiments. In both cases, a valve 34-4 and piercing spikes 34-2 and 34-3 both operate as means to effect a mixing of the water and the salts. An actuating mechanism 36-4 operates in a manner similar to that of actuating mechanisms 36-2 and 36-3 of the prior embodiments. Valve 34-4 permits mixing of the solvent and the solute, through actuation by a similar arrangement of a temperature sensing circuit, an arming circuit, an AND gate, a solenoid and a thermocouple, such as is illustrated in FIG. 2.
Equally operable, instead of the specific use of a conduit, or in addition thereto, is the employ of a spray head for spraying the solvent over the solute. In operation, the endothermic heat of mixing, which is experienced when selected salts are dissolved in water, forms the basis for the present invention. Because the best endothermic solution preferably comprises a very soluble salt with a large endothermic heat of mixing, a cooling factor (CF) was calculated to serve as a guide for selecting the optimum salt-water system, that is, the system having the least weight for a given cooling requirement. The cooling factor was defined as a product of the heat of solution at infinite dilution and the solubility of the salt in 100 grams of water, according to the following equation:
CF=(Heat of Solution)�(Solubility)
Utilizing the table of salts listed on Page D-102 of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 57th Edition, a group of candidate salts as listed in the above table were selected for experimental purposes. Based upon a series of simple calorimetry experiments, the cold solution temperature under saturated conditions was measured. The results of this study, given in the above table, shows that the solution of potassium thiocyanate and water provided the lowest temperature at -11� C.
Although the invention has been described with respect to particular embodiments thereof, it should be realized that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Newspaper Blogger Crosses Ethical LineThe Houston Chronicle's Steve Olafson has been writing a Weblog that criticizes his own newspaper and offers opinions on news that he covered. But rather than be honest with his readers and editors, he did so anonymously, under the pseudonym "Banjo Jones," The (Clute, Texas) Facts reports. It's generally not acceptable for journalists to spout opinions on issues they cover -- but doing so anonymously makes this a serious ethical violation. The Weblog has since been shut down, but for the curious, here's a cached version of it. He has been fired.

East county pet of the week: Bogey is a 5-year-old brown Australian cattle dog/Labrador retriever mix
Bogey is a 5-year-old brown Australian cattle dog/Labrador retriever mix. He acts like a big puppy. Weighing in at 53 pounds, he walks perfectly on leash and has had some basic training. He is good with other dogs, adults and older children and is just an all-around sweet, affectionate dog.
His cattle dog heritage lends itself to his high energy, and being very intelligent, he needs a job such as herding, obedience or agility to keep him happy. However, his lineage might make him a little nippy until he gets a bit more training. He would be a good indoor pet for an active person or family with mature children living in a private home with a yard.
To choose Bogey request ID No. A4321953. The Agoura Shelter is at 29525 Agoura Road, Agoura Hills. Occasionally, pets have already been adopted. To check availability, call 818-991-0071 or visit http://animalcare.lacounty.gov.

Brad Barton crushes John Hinton's M45 world indoor mile record
Brad Barton used a 62-second final quarter Saturday night to claim the M45 world record in the indoor mile, clocking 4:16.84 at the Armory track in New York, reports the Armory website. That mark falls short of Tony Young's never-ratified 4:13.25 run four years ago on the dang oversized track at the University of Washington. But Brad ran the fastest mile indoor for eight laps, so his mark should stick. Afterward, he was quoted as saying: "I didn't think I could run that fast." The listed M45 indoor mile record is John Hinton's 4:20.18 from 2008, which took more than a year to recognize. Also reporting Brad's brilliant race was his hometown newspaper. Brad told the paper: "My first half-mile was running 2:10.0. The second half was 2:06.8. With 400 meters to go I knew I had the record. The announcer got the crowd into it and I really flew home. I thought I could run 4:19 but bested my own aspirations by well over 2 seconds and smash the previous record by over three seconds."
Here's the Armory story for posterity:
Brad Barton's son, a Division I collegiate runner, made the mistake of calling his dad an "old man."
Barton, once an All-American in the steeplechase at Weber State University in Utah, told him, "When you beat me in the mile, you can call me an old man."
Well, dad has made it a lot tougher for his son. Running in the mile at the Columbia Final Qualifier on Saturday night at The Armory, Barton ran an age-group world record 4:16.84. Afterward he said, "I didn't think I could run that fast."
And with good reason. No one his age (46) had ever broken 4:20 before as the previous mark was 4:20.18 set by John Hinton in 2008. After hitting his 800- and 1,200-meter goals on the nose, he sprinted out a 62-second final 400 to beat a number of competitors half his age.
Barton, who lives in Ogden, Utah, has been chasing that mark for a while. He'd run 4:21.5 in Boise earlier this year and then gave ill-fated efforts in both Boston and Ithaca before finding success at The Armory.
His Saturday night run was also within a second of the age-group outdoor record (4:16.09, Tony Young, 2008), which brought a twinkle to his eye as he began thinking about his next record pursuit.
Barton's recent run of success has been guided by the same man who guided him a quarter-century ago in college — USTFCCCA Hall of Famer Chick Hislop. Barton ran for Coach Hislop in the early 1990s, qualifying for NCAA Indoors twice and earning All-American status in the steeple in 1991. A few years ago when Barton told Hislop that he was still running 4:30, the coach urged him to see it through.
Now a professional speaker, Barton is sponsored by Get Air Sports, a company that constructs trampoline parks which have been popping up in the West and are now moving East. "The owner and founder is my neighbor," he said.
Here's the Standard-Examiner account for ditto:
Years ago, Ogden native Brad Barton thought his chances of breaking a world record had come and gone.
But Saturday night, 46-year-old Barton set a world record in the men's master mile at the Columbia Final Qualifier at The Armory in New York. Most of the competitors in the men's mile race were NCAA athletes attempting to qualify for the NCAA indoor championships, which is held next week.
The Columbia Final Qualifier was Barton's fifth attempt this year to set a new world record. The previous USAFT indoor one-mile run wasters age group world record was 4:20.18, set in 2008 by John Hinton.
"I have struggled with injury and illness and haven't felt right the last few weeks. But my coach made some important adjustments in my training schedule that seemed to make a difference," Barton said. "I just felt great Saturday."
Barton ran the first half of his race conservatively and then he really started moving in the second half picking off the college athletes one by one.
"My first half-mile was running 2:10.0 The second half was 2:06.8. With 400 meters to go I knew I had the record. The announcer got the crowd into it and I really flew home. I thought I could run 4:19 but bested my own aspirations by well over two seconds and smash the previous record by over three seconds," Barton said.
His official time: 4:16.83.
Barton plans on competing in the 3,000 meters and the mile at the U.S. Masters Championships in Landover Md, on March 22-23. And, if he can stay healthy, he would like to try for the outdoor 1,500 meters American masters record.
"I'm thrilled to have been able to accomplish this long sought-after goal. As the fastest age group Masters miler in the world it would be fun to compete at the World Championships in Torino, Italy, this fall," said Barton.
After college, Barton put his running career on hold to be a husband, father, author and professional speaker. In 2012, Barton decided to come out of retirement along with his former USATF Hall of Fame college coach Chick Hislop.
"In college I could run a 4-minute mile. I was just curious to see if I could even break a 5-minute mile," Barton said.
Barton has a history of running fast. He was a member of the Weber State University track team, and in 1990 and 1991, he ran the mile in the NCAA indoor track & field championships. In 1991 he earned NCAA All-America honors in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Barton also competed in the U.S. Olympic Trials in 1992.
Barton is sponsored by Get Air, Trampoline Parks LLC – a Utah based company.

I didn't even know that Brad was intending to run in Landover in just over two weeks. Good. Will be wonderful to have a runner of his stature to add to the mix of superstars (including Olympians) at the big meet.
I was part of the effort to get John Hinton's 4:20.18 mark accepted. Wow, was that a prolonged struggle, even though it was set at the Hartshorne Mile, where multiple records had been set in the past.
Ken, I wonder whether Brad's record will be accepted. I counted 41 colleges and universities plus 6 clubs in this event, the Columbia Final Qualifier. Will someone deny acceptance on the grounds of no USATF sanction? Or was it sanctioned? Is the NCAA presumed to have sanctioned it? I have no idea.
Liz Palmer - March 5, 2013
This meet was sanctioned by the NCAA as a qualifying meet for the indoor national championships. http://hepstrack.com/blog/2013/02/28/last-chance-weekend-2/
There's a mention of such about halfway down the page. I hope Brad gets in touch with Sandy Pashkin about getting this incredible mark accepted.
Peter Taylor - March 5, 2013
Excellent detective work, Liz. I believe that Brad is now well on his way to getting this mark accepted.
Gary - March 5, 2013
This is incredible. What a race..congrats!
Ron Kochanowicz - March 6, 2013
Congratulation Brad! Very cool! Seems we'll get to meet in the 3000m at Indoor Nationals as it looks like M40 and M45 are being combined. Gonna be fun.
Terry Parks - March 6, 2013
Really impressive splits. Congratulations Brad!
Brad Barton - March 7, 2013
Thanks Terry, Peter, Gary, Ron and Liz.
I sure appreciate your well wishing, encouragement and advice. I've got the paperwork with the necessary signatures in front of me and will contact Sandy Pashkin as per recommended. Thanks Liz.
Ron, I look forward to working with you in Landover.
According to race director Doug Binder, the Columbia Final Qualifier meet was sanctioned by the USATF. He told me they submitted the meet for sanction on the chance that Lopez Lomong could break the US 5000 m mark. If Lomong's mark is recognized, mine probably should be as well.
Peter Taylor - March 7, 2013
Thanks, Brad. Well, an NCAA sanction is just as good if you don't get the USATF sanction. I am 99% sure you will get the record approved.
Your 3000 at Landover will really be something. Of course, in the overall scheme of things, Kevin Castille of Kentucky (M40) has to be a heavy favorite. As you know, Kevin ran 5000 outdoors last year in 14:00.09, which the last time I looked was 4:30.4 per mile. Yikes.
Brad, I believe that you, the redoubtable Francis Burdett of Massachusetts, and several others will be strong contenders for the M45 gold. My main concern is that there are 25 entrants in your combined race, and there could be a lot of weaving, perhaps a little bumping, etc.
Because you are an inspirational speaker as well as a great runner, Brad, I want to be on my toes when I announce you in Landover. But historically the acoustics have been poor there, and this year should not be an exception. Maybe you'll be able to hear something like "Barton …… Weber State."
Ken Stone - March 9, 2013
I have a great Q&A with Brad to post. Delayed by a busy week at Patch. Stay tuned.
Brad Barton - March 11, 2013
25 athletes on an indoor track 3K? I've never heard of such a thing. This will be a grand adventure. I think the advantage goes to those with great dance moves.
I look forward to meeting you Peter.
Peter Taylor - March 11, 2013
Make that 26, Brad. They don't list non-USATF athletes on the website, which shows 25 in your combined 3000 (M40 + M45). However, we must not forget Marco Colque of Bolivia, who is coming all the way from South America to run against you and assorted others in the 3000 (he is 46). That will be his only race, and I don't think he wants to spoil his trip by letting you beat him.
I will definitely say hello, but I think that the opening day (Friday) will be a tough one for me. There are nine 3000 runs and four 3000 racewalks on that day, quite a load. With a professional speaker like you, and with the highly regarded jazz musician Nolan Shaheed, acoustic guitarist Roger Pierce, and TV weatherperson Lisa Ryan all coming to the meet, I must do my best on the microphone to sound like a pro.
This will be about my sixth or seventh time announcing at the Landover facility, and I have yet to have a good meet there. The major problem has been the acoustics. However, I am told on good authority that the acoustics may not be too bad this time around.
Brad Barton - March 11, 2013
Great news about Colque competing. I see his 2000 Sydney Marathon results but I know nothing more about him. Any idea how fit he is?
Peter Taylor - March 11, 2013
Brad, I look for Colque to run about 9:08 in Landover. As you know from your research, Thomas Lentz ran 8:59.24 to win the M45 race last year (in Bloomington). I doubt that Colque is as fast as Lentz, and Bloomington is faster than Landover. Lentz is not entered this year, and thus things should be good for you. Know nothing about Colque's recent performances.
Brad Barton - March 11, 2013
Sounds great Peter. Thanks for the heads up.
Voots - February 14, 2015
Record broken by John Trautmann 4:12:33 today at BU races. Great job John………

Mansfield Town striker Matt Green not letting speculation ruin his form
Posted: January 19, 2013|
MATT Green insists he is not going to let any speculation about his future get in the way of his recent goalscoring form.
It was last January that the striker made permanent his loan move from Oxford, signing until the summer of 2013.
And he bagged 30 goals as he helped fire the Stags into third in the Blue Square Bet Premier and the play-offs in his first season with the club.
This time around, he is in double figures again, after bagging his tenth goal of the campaign in the 3-1 win at Stockport on Tuesday night.
With his contract up at the end of the season, he is now free to talk to other clubs.
But he said: "I am not too interested in anything else apart from scoring goals for Mansfield Town.
"There is always going to be speculation that can put you off your game or sidetrack you and before you know it, it has put you in a place you do not want to be.
"But at the minute I am scoring goals and enjoying myself and having the best time of my life in my career at Mansfield Town so long may that continue."
Yesterday morning, Southport insisted they were very confident today's match would go ahead, despite the weather forecast.
But they also said a precautionary inspection would be held at 8.30am today before the Mansfield coach set off for Merseyside.
And Green hopes they can build on that midweek win.
He said: "It was a case of us taking our chances at Stockport and we take a lot of confidence from that.
"Sometimes you ride your luck and it is about time we got some and maybe it can be a turning point. It has certainly given us a lot of confidence."

I would like to thank Pete and Denise Martin of Houston, TX for taking me, my Mom and Gigi in and helping me keep my sanity to make MAJOR life decisions for all of us when it was hard to know what was happening next. I would also like to thank the real estate agent who helped me find a place to stay in Houston and to the Royalton staff that welcomed only 6 month leases from New Orleanians. I will never forget the generosity of the people of Houston and the professionalism and open arms of the medical doctors and staff at Methodist Hospital that helped my Mom in time of need so we could return to New Orleans in due time.
Where do I begin? Look we know he made a stupid decision in 2005 for us in Metaire so I guess he just never stopped. There was no federal investigation for this stupid decision so no need to resign, but now those other "decisions" could land him in the slammer so I can see why he has no time to think about running the Parish and resigned, duh...
Who the heck voted for him after flooding our houses anyway? He made a deal with all the others who could run against him and called in favors so they didn't.......the people of Jefferson were the last he thought of then.
Tell me why is it that so many with power and a good income and great investments, get so damn GREEDY in their senior years and risk it all with the potential of living their last years in a federal pen rather than anywhere in the free world? Makes no sense to me!
May the cronyism stop and Jefferson Parish have an even brighter future..........If you want to do business with your buddies and family, stay out of politics, easy enough so you'd think.
..........And I do love the Blue, Red, and Yellow Dog in Metairie!!! Best "political"decision for 2010 to date.
So tell us where you're found the medium to large ones or the Belle River bugs in Metairie/Kenner/Jefferson this year and how much a pound. I'm not going to Abbeville anytime soon to buy crayfish.

Food terms every Caribbean visitor should become familiar with include conch conch (a mollusk: think large snail); callaloo, a spinach-like vegetable; fungi, a cornmeal porridge; curry; plantains (a type of banana); soursop soup (soursop is an acidic local fruit); and johnnycakes (fried cornbread). Of course, every island has its regional specialties, but you can't go wrong with anything seafood. St. Maarten is a foodie heaven with more than 350 restaurants catering to virtually every taste. Head over to Marigot on the French side of the island for some of the island's best restaurants. L'Auberge Gourmande and Le Ti Provençale are long-time island favorites. Cruzan Rum, made on St. Croix, is popular throughout the Virgin Islands and St. John and St. Thomas are no exception. Enormous rum concoctions at Duffy's Love Shack on St. Thomas (near the ferry to St. John) are sized to share. On San Juan, a popular outing is a tour of the Bacardi Rum Factory ((just outside of the city), which ends with samples. Restaurant Barrachina, which claims to have invented the piña colada, is another favorite. Order some fried plantains to accompany your drink. The Parrot Club, featuring Nuevo Latino cuisine, and Toro Salao, specializing in tapas, are hot lunch spots.

i've seen a lot of talk here and elsewhere that seemingly assumes the planet the prometheus goes to is LV-426, which based on the descriptions in the first alien movie, is a moon of an unnamed gas giant orbiting zeta 2 reticuli.maybe i'm out of the loop, but why do we think it's LV-426? it doesn't look like the moon in alien at all in terms geology or atmospheric conditions. the only commonality i can see is that a u-shaped alien spaceship crashes on both. has ridley scott said it's LV-426 or something?the star map given in the trailer certainly doesn't look like the neighborhood of zeta reticuli. eta, a little bit, but it doesn't match up.
...Why not?
Is there really need of a Topic for this ?
It's up in the air, but I still side on the believe that it is NOT going to be LV-426, but a neighboring planet or planetoid.
It has to be lv- 426 space jockeys would not crash 2 ships
Zeta 2 Reticuli has at least 3 moons around its gas giant, Prometheus could have gone to any of those, not just LV-426.
Really space jockeys are extremely intelligent they crash because of us but I don't think they would crash another ship when there race is almost all gone its definitely lv-426
Quote from: SM on Mar 20, 2012, 12:17:50 AM...Why not?Because... Uh... Of the interstellar you-cant-crash-two-ships-in-the-same-system charter of 12185.
Quote from: EEV-2501 on Mar 20, 2012, 12:07:53 AMIs there really need of a Topic for this ?yes, i have no idea where people are getting this idea, and i see a lot of people that seem to think it is the same place. i'd like to know why people think that.Quote from: OpenMaw on Mar 20, 2012, 12:13:04 AMIt's up in the air, but I still side on the believe that it is NOT going to be LV-426, but a neighboring planet or planetoid.i popped up a constellation map of reticulum to see if zeta happened to fit into the arrangement of stars in the artifacts. it doesn't, but i really thought for a minute that eta might. it doesn't either, but it's a lot closer.i'm sort of wondering if anyone with some astronomical knowledge recognizes the configuration, or knows of a good way we could look for it. it's possible they just made it up, but considering that LV-426 orbits a known star, i kind of doubt it.Quote from: Queen7 on Mar 20, 2012, 12:16:49 AMIt has to be lv- 426 space jockeys would not crash 2 ships the one LV-426 crashed because the pilot died, giving birth to a xenomorph. the one in the trailer crashes because the prometheus runs into it.Quote from: RoaryUK on Mar 20, 2012, 12:15:41 AMZeta 2 Reticuli has at least 3 moons around its gas giant, Prometheus could have gone to any of those, not just LV-426.there's also zeta 1. but the constellation doesn't match up.

Sketches #1
Today and Thursday, we're offering a little insight into the creation of Namesake.
Isa says: Some of the first sketches of Warrick. As you can see, the feathercloak and attitude was always there. I did a lot of sketches trying to get the cloak to look more realistic and/or medieval, but in the end, since it's magical, I just went with the really empty and huge look that it has today.
When Namesake was just budding, I was still in school (University of Ottawa). I drew Namesake sketches all over all my notes. The most interesting character design progress I did was all over my business class notes. Honestly, drawing in class kept me focused on the class. Otherwise, I kinda just plunged into daydreams. Thank you, Namesake, for keeping me as a straight A's student. Alice and Warrick still kinda look like themselves. Emma went thru 10 different hairdos before we decided to go with her ponytail-on-the-side look. Warrick went thru about 20 different noses. Alice about 100 costumes.
Meg says: We went through a number of different formats for Namesake before deciding on a webcomic. We went from a straight graphic novel to a prose novel with illustrations by Isa then to the current webcomic format that's compiled into a graphic novel.
The first draft of the prologue was handwritten when I was working an overnight shift at Bank of America in 2009. It's actually one of the few things that didn't change from the first draft to final form. The big difference is that the prologue was written in prose. The original draft of chapter 1, which I'll talk about Thursday, also was in prose form. Here's an excerpt from the original prologue. It reflects a lot more of the research I did into Dodgson's life when we were just starting the story:
He cleared off some of the worse of the mess, placing torn scraps of paper in a rubbish bin, straightening the corners of a lecture he was to give the following week. His gaze landed on a framed photograph of the Liddell girls, taken five years earlier. He ran his finger over the glass, over the young Alice's solemn face. Even at age 6, she looked as if she had already lived a hundred lifetimes.
"I'm sorry," he told the photograph. "You weren't meant to go so soon," he added as he set the frame back in its proper spot. He thought he'd had more time. Months, even years. Alice was still too young for such an arduous journey, he thought. Four years of meticulously documented research had led him to that conclusion. Those books were safely tucked away in a lockbox that was hidden on a shelf he had affixed to the inside of the unused chimney in his guest bedroom. They had escaped the frantic search by police, who had grown convinced that the eccentric mathematician desired a mere child for his bride.

Inside FMM: What's in The Icon Concierge's Other Bag
As a native New Yorker, fashion will always run in my blood. Since moving to Los Angeles a little over seven years ago to attend USC, however, this city has had my heart. I am not sure if it's the sunny weather, palm trees or massive stores, but there's something about the shopping in Los Angeles that makes me giddy. Although I live in Beverly Hills, one of my favorite neighborhoods to shop in is West Hollywood or, more specifically, Melrose Avenue. With a range of low, mid, high and vintage stores lining the streets for almost two miles, Melrose is home to many fashionistas.
To accompany me on my most recent shopping trip on Melrose I took along The Other Bag by ALDO. I've already shown you what's in my bag and how I style it, and now I'm going to take you to my neighborhood and show you how seamlessly The Other Bag fits into my life and makes it easy for me to carry the essentials.
The first stop for me on Melrose Ave. was Community & Co., an adorable decor showroom and store with an even more adorable atmosphere. Amazing wall structures, a leather swing and an oversized tufted sofa immediately caught my attention. In my head, I am always planning for my first house and love hitting the home design stores on Melrose for doses of inspiration.
As I travel up Melrose, I pass Vivienne Westwood, Marc Jacobs, Alexander McQueen, Helmut Lang and a handful of other iconic boutiques. In my Other Bag is my iPad, oversized fashion magazines, Prada wallet and sunglasses. It's great how I can use The Other Bag as a purse on the weekends when I don't want to carry two bags like I do during the work week.
The next stop is TenOverSix, an eclectic store with even more amazing brands like Alexander Wang and Bande des Quatres. I browsed amazing jewels, great vintage knits and tried on funky pairs of eye glasses and shades. I even pet a dog—if you knew me you'd know I never pet strange dogs!
And the last stop? A boba smoothie at Urth Cafe!
Remember you can get your own The Other Bag by ALDO here!
Loved this feature! I recently moved from LA to Atlanta and I definitely miss the shopping.

Four perspectives, Two jobs, One motivation,
Being There Through Tough Times.
Nelly/In-Office: Catastrophe is a very fast-paced environment.
Jasmine/Field: There's not a day that's ever the same. I don't know what I am ever going to walk into.
Scott/Field: You walk into pure chaos. You walk into into someone who has lost everything they own and they don't know what to do.
Souvannalay/In-Office: The most difficult thing is you never know what you're going to expect when you get a phone call from a policyholder.
Jasmine/Field: So, we really have kind of a lot resting on shoulders.
The Adjustment
Nelly/In-Office: Working 60 hours a week is not easy.
Jasmine/Field: You've got to have your life set up. It's not only a commitment to the job, but it's a commitment to the catastrophe lifestyle.
Souvannalay/In-Office: I just had a baby four months ago. Fortunately I have my mom here to help me out with my daughter. So, definitely some adjustment at home to adapt to work life.
Scott/Field: Driving is a large part of my job. My tools are within this vehicle.
Souvannalay/In-Office: Workforce management actually sets up a schedule for us claim representative here in the office. It's a snapshot of our day.
The Day-to-Day
Jasmine/Field: A lot of our customers, we are the very first people that they've seen from State Farm outside of their agent.
Scott/Field: Typical inspection depending on the storm takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to 2 hours. It just depends on the amount of damage. But you're looking at everything.
Jasmine/Field: There is a lot of administrative work that goes on behind the scenes after you've completed that inspection.
Nelly/In-Office: We have to rely on them because they are the ones going out there and doing the inspection talking to the insured.
The Reward
Jasmine/Field: The real, I guess benefit to me is that I'm able to do something that I love, help people every day.
Nelly/In-Office: I like a lot of things about this job. Probably the most important one is having that interaction and specifically for me, Spanish-speaking policyholders.
Souvannalay/In-Office: What I like most is knowing that I can help my policyholder recover from the unexpected.
Scott/Field: I pulled into a situation where people had lost everything they had and I was an integral part of that, getting them built back to where they were before the storm.
Helping people recover from the unexpected … that's what we're about.

Hands On: Audio Hijack Pro 2.10.9
01/31, 6:13pm
Apple UI-inspired tool enables system-wide audio recording
In the beginning, there was no way to get audio into a Mac, other than a costly serial bus peripheral. Not long after that, the Cupertino engineers struck, and added a conventional 1/8-inch jack for a microphone to Apple's line of computers. With the iPod came a new invention -- the podcast. Apple's built-in recording software is functional, but leaves a bit to be desired especially when capturing audio from applications like Skype or iTunes. In September of 2002, the developers that would become Rogue Amoeba released Audio Hijack Pro -- possibly the first entry-level capture tool for OS X able to do what the burgeoning podcast market and streaming radio or music fans demanded: simple, multi-application recording.

The Junction's Christmas Comedy Party
Posted: December 12, 2012|
Skipping the office party this year? Fancy an evening out where you laugh at the jokes because they're funny, not because they're coming from your boss?
At The Junction, three comedians (and a DJ for afters) will be entertaining audiences at the Christmas Comedy Party. The J2 venue will be transformed into an old-style cabaret layout, with candle-lit tables at which to enjoy your meal, while comedians Nick Revel, Paul Zenon (replaced by Dougie Dunlop on Dec 22) and compere Tiernan Douieb work their magic.
Nick Revel is hailed by many as an unsung comedy veteran, and has extensive experience working the UK comedy circuit. He's also written for TV and radio (including Not The 9 O'Clock News) and promises razor-sharp satire and animated storytelling.
Top trickster Paul Zenon was voted one of the Top 50 magicians of all time, and fuses phenomenal tricks with witty asides, making him a sought-after personality on the small screen.
Meanwhile Dougie Dunlop is currently to be found supporting Kevin Bridges on tour, and his plenty of his own cheeky gags up his tartan sleeve.
Christmas Comedy Party, The Junction, December 21 and 22, 7pm. Tickets are £39 including a sit-down meal, comedy performances and DJ set. Contact (01223) 511511 / www.junction.co.uk.

Step 1: Fill Valve
Step 2: Valve side of the assembly
I will also take pictures step by step on the next instructable!
I am also planning to make another air cannon out of inch and a half copper, choked down to half inch copper to use with potatoes and other fruits and vegtables...
Danger: See link: This is not spam, but a warning. PVC will fail suddenly after a while. This was band member that hurt badly by a T-Shirt launcher explosion.
See the pictures and never use PVC to hold air, Please.
Yeah it is an air hogs rocket, It is actually the reason it was built. My 3y/o son loved this rocket, I however hated it! It had a really small t handled pump that required at least 30 pumps to fire it just above the tree line. After the 2nd shot you were exhausted! So This was or is the answer! Oddly enough my 3y/o is now a 7y/o and it is still the same. I never got a round to modding it any further and it has not failed to this day! We were just playing with it the other day. He still is to young to fire it and besides I would not really trust it with my only child! He is priceless to me! He is perfectly content watching the rocket go way over the tree line! It goes high enough that you actually loose site of it against the blue sky!
I have built quite a few other projects since then and I always mean to document them for this site but as I stated in this one...I get all amped and can't stop till I am done, at which point the pictures are long past!
One day I will post a good one....
Good Luck and I look forward to seeing everyones ideas!

"The quality of this card exceeded my expectations by far. The colors, text and images are synchronized perfectly. I would recommend this designer to everyone."
"We have received only wonderful words of praise regarding the birth announcement. Everyone loves it! In fact, one of the photos was blurry and I received a call immediately asking me to resubmit and new photo. Plus I also received follow up emails and phone calls offering assistance."
"I got so many compliments! Everyone commented that my twins announcements were gorgeous, classy, and were of great quality. The paper stock is superb, the color vibrant and the overall look doesn't compare to others I've seen. I like this layout for twins because it really allowed for enough photos to truly show off our new additions. I will be using Tiny Prints again for invitations!"
"This card I thought was absolutely gorgeous online, only to have gotten them in person and they were stunning! I can't add up how many wonderful comments I got when everyone got our birth announcement for our twins. This card is wonderful and such a high quality of paper too!! Tiny Prints is actually a better deal than most other similar websites and the design quality of this website well out weighs the others! This card is a must! Hint......just make sure you check the middle initial on the front of the card before buying! I had to redo mine because that's the one thing I didn't check, but luckily I'm a scrapbooker so I had material on hand!"
