Labeling apparatus includes a supply of a laminated webs passing through a die cutter for cutting labels in an outer label member on a web liner. A label repositioner includes a peel bar having four flat surfaces forming four sharp edges. The bar is mounted to locate a flat surface as a support surface for the cut web, which passes downwardly over a guide roller located beneath the plane of the flat surface. The cut web moves over the one sharp edge which releases the label as the liner moves in a loop from the plane of the flat surface. The loop of the liner returns the liner to just below the plane of the flat surface and spaced from the sharp edge by a distance less than the length of the removed label. The removed label passes over the spaced gap and is pressed back onto the liner overlying the die cutting edges on the liner to connect the liner on opposite sides of any cut in the liner.

5. A positioning apparatus for a carrier web having a plurality of longitudinally spaced flexible elements secured by a releasable adhesive to a liner, said liner of said carrier web having equispaced portions between said longitudinally spaced flexible elements and at least some of said equispaced portions having a reduced strength longitudinally of said liner, comprising a release unit having an input end and a discharge end, means for passing said carrier web through said release unit, said release unit including means at said discharge end to remove said flexible elements from said liner and to move said flexible elements through a predetermined path, means transporting said liner from said discharge end in a path different than said predetermined path and to redirect said liner into said predetermined path in spaced relation to said release unit and aligning each of said equispaced portion of said liner with one of said flexible elements, and an attachment unit reattaching said last named flexible elements to said liner in overlying relationship to one of said equispaced portions.
6. A label forming apparatus for forming a series of longitudinally spaced labels on a web liner of indefinite length, comprising a roll having said length of said web liner wound thereon and said web liner having an outer laminate layer, a supply roll support for supporting said roll of said laminated web, draw roll units located downstream of said roll support and coupled to said laminated web for pulling said web from said roll support, a die cutter unit located downstream of said roll support and having cutting means cyclically moving to a cutting position to sever said laminate layer and form a separated removable label with a leading edge and a trailing edge, a label repositioning unit located downstream of said die cutter unit and including a block member having a plurality of planar surfaces terminating in a downstream sharp edge and a first web directing unit located below said sharp edge and a second web directing unit located downstream and generally in the plane of said sharp edge, said second web directing unit being spaced from said sharp edge by a gap having a length less than the length of a label, said laminated web being passed over said block member and said first and second web directing units and pulled through said die cutter unit and said label repositioning unit to remove said label at said sharp edge and immediately move the label through said gap and onto said liner passing over said second web directing unit, and said gap and said second web directing unit being constructed and arranged to locate said label overlying said leading edge and trailing edge.
The present invention is particularly directed to an apparatus for making a laminated web having spaced removable elements such as labels affixed to a base liner and to the method thereof.
Labels and other similar flexible elements are widely used for purposes of identification, information, display and other purposes. A sticky label-like element is often used for application in the production of packaged products and are otherwise sold to end users including retail consumers. In the process of manufacture, a laminated web including a base carrier or liner and a laminated layer of the label-like element material is formed. The laminated web is then passed through a forming line which will generally includes a supply at which a roll or other supply of the laminated web of indefinitive length is located. The web is passed from the supply through a die cutting machine and a trim removal machine which may be formed as a single integrated apparatus to provide the laminated web with the liner carrying the severed and separated elements. The web may then be passed through a label applying machine for application of the label to a suitable container such as a bottle, box or other member, or rewound into a suitable roll in a rewind apparatus. In a conventional system, draw rolls are coupled to the downstream portion of the laminated web and particularly the liner and pull the laminated web through the various machines in the line. The web is maintained under an appropriate tension to provide proper timed movement of the laminated web through the various devices or machines to establish accurate forming and location of the removble elements. Such apparatus is well known and widely used in the packaging, labeling of products and manufacture of products. The die cutting apparatus often includes a reciprocating or rotating die which provides repetitive precise cutting of the outer label layer. As a practical matter, the die cutting apparatus may, at times, move through the removable element material and actually nick the liner, thereby creating a weak spot in the liner. With the event of high speed processing lines, the tension on the web is such that the nicked liner may be so weakened as to break as the laminated web is passed down through the line. Breakage of the web results in the necessity for complete shut down of the line, the removal of the broken web and rethreading of the laminated web through the line from the supply to the rewind apparatus. This is time consuming and results in a significant loss as well as inconvenience in production.
The prior art has recognized the problem associated with a damaged liner. U.S. Pat. No. 3,574,026 which issued Apr. 6, 1971 particularly discusses the problem and notes the difficulties generated by a nicked and thereby weakened liner. The patent discloses a method of separating the laminated web, forming the cut and then reassembling the laminated web. This requires special complex apparatus for both separating and cutting the label or element layer of the laminated.
The prior art apparatus can be conveniently placed in a standard label forming line or the like which includes the usual rotary die cutting machine.
There is a need therefore for a cost-effective apparatus for processing a continuous laminated web with a cut outer layer and a liner in which to detect a potential break in the liner and provide appropriate apparatus to remove the weakened portion from the web so as to permit the continuous high speed processing.
Automated in-line processing of a laminated web includes repositioning of a removable element from a web carrier or liner which has passed through a forming apparatus such as a cutting apparatus to cut the removable article from a web layer, with the removable element repositioned onto a possible weakened portion or area such that the element forms a physical interconnection of the liner to the opposite sides of the weakened area or portion; thereby effectively eliminating the weakened portion in the liner and permitting a continued normal tensioned processing of the laminated web. Generally in accordance with one embodiment of this invention, the cut and trimmed web is passed through an element repositioning apparatus which automatically removes the element from the liner and redeposits the removed element onto a downstream portion of the liner. The liner with the element removed and the removed element move in relatively offset paths to relocate the liner with the weakened portion aligned with an intermediate portion of the removed element. Thus, the liner downstream of the removed element is conveniently passed through a loop path and then returned directly to an in-line position with the removed element for reapplication thereof overlying the border of a preceding element. Generally, the in-line length of the element longitudinally of the web is significantly longer than the spaced cutting edges and consequently can be accuratly replaced to overlie the severed edge portions and the lateral cut or weakened portion.
More particularly in a practical commercial embodiment of the present invention, a label repositioning apparatus for in-line processing of a laminated web including cut-in labels on an outer layer included a label removing bar in the form of a plate-like member or bar having a sharp downstream edge. The liner is passed over the sharp edge, moving longitudinally down and across the edge into a repositioning loop, with the downstream end of the web passing back into the plane of the bar in close spaced relation to the sharp edge. The sharp edge results in the movement of the liner with the label removed and with the label moving generally in the plane of the bar and into overlying relationship to the downstream repositioned liner. The length of the repositioning loop is selected such that the portion of the downstream label-free liner is positioned with the label border, and thus any lateral nicks or cuts, aligned with an intermediate portion of the removed label passed from the bar. Suitable apparatus is provided to insure the reattachment of the label onto the aligned portion of the liner at the end of the loop, without the necessity for any particular monitoring apparatus or the like.
Depending upon the stiffness and characteristic of the label material, the inventor has found that the efficiency and reliability of the label removal is effected somewhat by the sharpness of the label removing edge. The removal bar is preferably formed as a multiple edged member such as a rectangular, triangular or other multiple edge member which is mounted within a support to allow repositioning with anyone of the flat faces and related edge located as the removing edge. The edges may be formed with different degrees of sharpness to match the edge to the label material.
The label-free liner is passed around a suitable guide roller, which may include a bristle-like cover. The roller rotates at approximately the speed of the liner and guides the liner into a return path. The bristle-covered roller has been found to provide a reliable guide for the liner without creating adverse adhesive buildup on the liner. This allows a continuous, effective and reliable high speed processing of the laminated web through the downstream processing apparatus.
In a practical construction, the guide roller is further mounted for adjustable vertical orientation with respect to the plane of the cutting edge to thereby permit the readjustment and spacing of the loop for accurate positioning of the label on the label free liner.
In a high reliable and effective repositioning apparatus, the label-free liner is longitudinally aligned with the laminated web in a plane just beneath the plane of the removal edge of the bar such that the removed label positively moves over the label-free liner and tends to drop downwardly over the label free liner. A roller or other pressure applicator is applied to the removed label and the aligned label-free liner to positively releasably reattach the removed label to the liner.
The present invention has been found to provide a reliable and cost effective apparatus for effectively eliminating any and all weakened areas in a laminated liner as a result of die cutting or the like of an outer layer or member.
The drawings furnished herewith generally illustrate the best mode presently contemplated for carrying out the invention and are described hereinafter.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic side elevational view of an apparatus for processing a laminated web to form a liner with longitudinally spaced releasable elements;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a portion of the laminated web shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged top elevational view of a label repositioning apparatus diagrammatically illustrated in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a side view of the apparatus shown in FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a vertical section taken generally on line 5--5 of FIG. 3, and more clearly illustrating detail of construction of the label repositioning apparatus; and
FIG. 6 is a fragmentary enlarged view of a label release bar and label transfer section shown in FIGS. 1-5.
Referring to the drawings and particularly to FIGS. 1 and 2, a label forming and applying line is illustrated including a supply roll 1 of a laminated web 2 mounted at the upstream end of the line and forming a supply of the material. The outer free end of the laminated web 2 is threaded through various in-line equipment including a die cutting apparatus 3, a trim removal apparatus 4, a label-repositioning apparatus 5 and a label applying apparatus 6.
As shown most clearly in FIG. 2, the present invention is particularly directed to processing a web 2 having a base or liner 7 of indefinite length with a continuous outer layer or member 8 from which a plurality of longitudinally spaced labels or other similar elements 9, hereinafter referred to as a label 9, are formed. A suitable releasable adhesive 9a on the backside of the member 8 and therefore labels 9 releasably hold the labels to the liner 7. The label 9 can then be removed for use in the automatic applying apparatus 6 or otherwise.
Sets of draw rolls 10 are shown pulling the web 2 from supply 1 and through the line with an essentially constant tension. The laminated web 2 is passed through the die cutting apparatus 3 to sever the outer label member 8 to define and form each label 9. Typically, a rotating drum 11 includes a removable die plate 12 secured to the drum face and having a cutting blade 12a conforming to the shape of label 9 within the member 8. The drum 11 rotates in timed relation to the speed of the web to thereby sever the member 8 along spaced lateral lines 13 and 14 and connecting longitudinal lines 15 and 16.
The cut laminated web 2 passes through the trim removal apparatus 4 within which the trim 17 is removed. Trim 17 is that portion of member 8 which encloses each illustrated label 9 as the result of cutting the member 8 within the side edges of the web 2, and is longitudinally continous. Apparatus 4 may include any suitable device such as a pin roll member 18 to strip the trim and continuously remove and deliver the trim to a waste receiver, not shown.
The formed laminated web 2 may have a liner, with nicks or cuts 20 on the label edges 13-16, inclusive, as a result of the die cutting process. The longitudinally extended nicks or cuts in longitudinal edges 15 and 16 of liner 7 do not adversely weaken the liner 7 in the direction of the tension forces and thus do not interfere with the continued movement of the web. The nicks or cuts 20 in the lateral edges 13 and 14 do create weakened and tear locations in the liner 7, and the tension in the formed laminated web 2 does often break the liner 7 with costly disruption of the line 1.
In accordance with the present invention, the formed laminated web 2 is passed through the label-repositioning apparatus 5 within which each label 9 is removed from liner 7 and then reattached in longitudinal offset relationship into overlying relationship to the upstream lateral edges 13 and 14 of adjacent labels 9 on the liner 7, as shown at 21 in FIGS. 2 and 3. Generally in the illustrated embodiment of the invention, a label removal section 22 is located at the upstream end of the apparatus 5. The label 9 is freed from liner 7 at the section 22. The label-free liner 7 is diverted through an offset guide 23 and returned to a label reattachment section 24, at which the label 9 is again affixed to liner 7 overlying the lateral nick or cut or cuts 20 immediately upstream of the label 9.
The successive labels 9 are thus removed, shifted and then relaminated or applied to the liner 7 to cover each edge 13 and 14 to positively cover any nicked or cut liner area and thereby permit reliable, continuous processing of the liminated web 2.
More particularly, the label repositioning apparatus generally includes a means for momentarily separating of the label 9 from the liner 7 and repositioning of the label 9 onto the liner 7 in overlying relation to an area of the lateral cutting line of either the leading edge, downstream edge or both of a preceding label or labels, thereby overlying any nick or cut 20 created by the die cutting apparatus on the front or back edge. The repositioned label 9 adhesively interconnects the two areas of the liner 7 to the longitudinally opposite sides of the cut or nick 0 and thereby joins the liner and effectively removes the weakened area at the cut lines 20. By repositioning of each label approximately one half the width of the labels 9, the reapplied label covers the trailing edge 14 of one label 9 and the leading edge 13 of the next label, to thereby continuously overly such areas of possible weakness.
The present invention is particularly directed to a method and apparatus to eliminate breakage of a formed web, and a preferred and practical embodiment is illustrated in FIGS. 3-5 and more fully described below. The other apparatus of line 1 may be any known or other suitable design and construction, can readily be provided using commerically available apparatus and otherwise be provided by those skilled in the art, and is not therefore further described herein other than as necessary to fully describe the present invention.
More particularly, the label repositioning apparatus 5 includes a side frames 27 forming a supporting structure for the sections 22, 23 and 24. The label removing section 22 includes an infeed bed or peel plate structure including spaced support rollers 28 over which the web 2 is passed with the liner moving in a flat plane. The rollers 28 establish a low friction support for the high speed web. A label release bar 29 is secured immediately adjacent to the downstream end of the rollers and is secured in place between the structure 27 with a flat top wall 30 in the plane of the web 2. The bar 29 is thus located with the upper surface or wall in a common plane with the infeed rollers 28 and with its downstream edge 31 defining an essentially 90° turning point for the web 2. The web 2 moves on the edge 31 into the guide section 23. As the liner 7 moves over the edge 31, the label 9 releases from liner 7 and moves in a relative straight path as a continuation of the plane of the top wall 30 of bar 29, as shown at 32 in FIG. 5. The release action varies with the liner and label materials and the sharpness of edge 31.
The bar 29, as shown most clearly in cross section in FIGS. 5 and 6, has a rectangular cross section and includes three additional relatively sharp corners or edges 33, 34 and 35. The roundness or sharpness of each of the four edges 31, 33, 34 and 35 is slightly different and varies from a maximum radius to an essentially zero radius edge. The release bar 29 is mounted at the opposite ends in a suitable releasable support 36 which are rigidly affixed in place to the side frame structure 27 and supports the bar 29 in fixed relation and in the desired spaced relation to the infeed rollers 28. The bar 29 is mounted locating a selected bar wall and label-release edge in the web plane for optimum release of the label 9 as the web 2 moves over the edge 31 into the diverting guide unit 23. Although shown as a rectangular bar 29, the multi-edge bar may be of other configurations, such as a triangular member or other shape providing one or more sharp release edges. A fixed single release edge plate may of course also be used.
Unit 23 includes a guide roller 37, rotatably mounted in overlying relationship to the laminated web 2 at the release bar 29. The illustrated roller 37 is shown as an outer bristle surface or cover 38 secured to a supporting core unit 39. The opposite ends of the core unit 39 are rotatably mounted to the side frames in suitable low friction bearings 40 and 41. The bristle cover 38 of the guide roller 37 is operative to engage the surface of the cut laminated web liner 7 to stablize the movement of the web through the in-feed end of the repositioning apparatus 4 and provide for smooth turning and transfer of the cut laminated liner through the diverting path or guide 23 with formation of a loop 42 in the label-free liner 7. A simple smooth, metal roller of aluminum or other suitable material without any special cover or outer surface may be used, depending upon the characteristic of the liner and particularly the slip characteristic.
The bristle surface or cover 38 of the loop roller 37 engage the adhesive release surface of the label-free liner 7, and cleans the surface to prevent build-up of adhesive on the liner. Roller 38 is suitably mounted for vertical adjustment in bearing 40 to vary the alignment of the label-free liner and the removed label. In the illustrated embodiment, the opposite ends of the core 39 include shafts 42 which are journalled in similar bearing units 40 and 41 mounted within the side frames 27. Each of the bearings units 40 and 41 is similarly mounted.
The mounting for each bearing unit is identical and the unit 40 is described in detail with the opposite unit having its elements identified by corresponding primed numbers for simplicity and clarity of description.
Referring particularly to FIGS. 3-5, unit 40 is shown mounted in a movable slide block 47 for vertical adjustment of the bearing unit 40 and thereby loop roller 37. The slide block 47 is a substantially rectangular block with is slidably mounted in a vertical guideway 49 in the frame 27 for precise parallel movement with respect to the movement of the web 2. Thus, the axis of the roller 38 moves in a true vertical plane with respect to the movement of the web 2. A threaded shaft 49 is rotatably fixed to the top edge of the block and projects upwardly with the upper end threaded into a non-rotating nut unit 50. The nut unit 50 is fixed to the side frame 27. A common rotating drive unit, not shown, may be secured to the shafts 49 for the respective bearing units 40 and 41 to provide simultaneous and corresponding positioning of the bearings and thereby maintain the roller in precise parallelism with respect to the plane of the web as it moves through the loop about the roller.
The web 2 thus is looped downwardly and then upwardly in a fixed loop with the downstream end relocated within the reapplying section 24 to receive the free label 32. The liner 7 is located in a plane in the reapplying section 24 corresponding generally, to the plane of the in-feed rollers, the release bar 29 and particularly a free label 32, which has just been removed from the liner 7 and passes generally in the straight line motion from the bar 29.
The label reapplying section 24 includes a suitable return roller 55 rotatably mounted in slightly downstream relation to the release bar 29 to define a short gap 56 over which the free label 21 passes in unsupported relation in the illustrated embodiment. A desired suitable support structure, not shown, can be interposed to bridge the gap although applicant has not found it necessary, and such could be undesirable as the adhesive side of the free label moves over the gap and any surface provided in the gap 56.
The roller 55 which engages the underside of the liner 7 can be of any suitable construction which will allow the smooth and appropriate turning of the liner into a generally planar relationship with respect to the underside of the incoming free label 32. The turn roller 55 is rotatably journaled at its opposite ends in suitable bearings, not shown, to allow the free movement of the tensioned web liner 7 through the label repositioning apparatus 5 and particularly section 24.
As shown most clearly in FIG. 6, the uppermost plane 57 of the turning roller 55 is shown spaced slightly below the upper plane of the label releasing bar 29. This relationship provides for a slight dropping of the free label 32 moving across the gap 56 and into engagement with the repositioned liner. To positively and reliably and maintain the label 32 applied to the liner 7, a downward force unit is preferably provided to firmly apply the label onto the liner, and a relatively low force pressure is applied so as to insure the reliable and positive reapplication of the label to the liner for subsequent processing. In the illustrated embodiment, a roller 58 is again used to firmly apply the free label 32 to the liner 7, with the label 32 reorientation bridging any lateral nick or cut 20 in lateral edges 13 and 14 on the liner 7 which has been created as a result of the cutting of the label, as by the illustrated die cutting apparatus. Although illustrated as a bristle covered roller as shown in the preferred embodiment, a smooth or other special surfaced roller of metal or other material may also be used within the broadest aspect of the present invention.
The discharge end of the label repositioning apparatus may be provided with a suitable support to establish the planar movement of the relabeled liner downstream into the label applying apparatus 6 or any other suitable apparatus, such as a rewind apparatus, connected in line with the upstream devices or apparatus.
The illustrated embodiment has been found to provide a highly reliable and effective element repositioning apparatus. In a typical application, the web moves at a 300 feet per minute and with the web under a typical tension of four pounds per linear inch width (PLI). Although the illustrated embodiment is shown with many preferred features, the present invention is basically broadly directed to the method and apparatus for removing a label from a laminated web carrying a series of labels or like elements which have been cut into laminated webs on the label and the web liner passes through relatively different length paths or at a different speed and back into a common path with the free label specially moved relative to its original position so as to reposition the free label bridging a possible weakened area or location on the liner and thereby effectively and operatively eliminate the weakened area from the liner. The turning bar with the multiple edges provides a particularly versatile unit for processing of different lines and labels. Individual bars or even other label removal systems may be employed within the broad aspects of the invention. Similarly, the bristle rollers and the particular diverting guide assembly or unit, with the adjustable loop, provides a particularly simple reliable and effective relative repositioning of the label and the liner, but may be replaced with any diverting system. Any other suitable realigning method or structures may of course be provided. Within the broadest aspects of the invention, the label itself can be made to be moved through a diverted path so as to realign the label with the liner moving in a continous and generally linear path. Further, the term "label" is used herein to define any removable element formed on a liner which may have weakened on disruptive areas adjacent the removable element and which can be effectively eliminated or minimized by the described moving of the removable element. These as well as other various variations and changes in the illustrated label repositioning apparatus and method can be readily provided by those skilled in the art using the teaching of the present application and various machine technologies and methods.
The present invention provides a highly cost effective and reliable method and apparatus for essentially eliminating the difficulties associated with the nicking and weakening of a liner or the like in a releasable severed laminated web.
Various modes of carrying out the invention are contemplated as being within the scope of the following claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which is regarded as the invention.

A Summerville toddler who wandered into a neighborhood pond last week died today.
Brandon L. Homes Jr., 20 months old, died at Medical University Hospital as a result of submersion, Berkeley County Coroner Bill Salisbury said.
The boy fell into a pond in Farmington Village, which is behind the Main Street Walmart on Farm Springs Road.
The Coroner's Office and Summerville Police Department ruled his death an accident.
According to the incident report, police arrived at the apartments Tuesday and saw someone performing CPR on a small child on the bank of a pond as staff members and concerned citizens gathered nearby. The boy's father was kneeling at his feet.
The father told police he was getting ready to head to Charleston while his child was playing downstairs. The man went upstairs for minute, and when he came back down, the boy was missing.
The man told police he drove to the front office to alert staff members, who later found the child in the pond.
Police did not identify the father, and the child was not identified until he died.

for reporting side effects to the FDA, with a study to determine if TV
ads also should contain the info.
-- Reducing by 25 percent over five years the number of FDA advisory
committee members with drug industry conflicts of interest. Currently,
FDA panels that recommend drugs for market often include several
members with financial ties to the companies whose drug is up for
approval, and the FDA routinely waives the conflicts. CU supported a
ban on all waivers, but the limits are a step toward a better
advisory process.
"This law will make critical, life-saving improvements in drug safety in the years to come, though the public may not see many immediate changes," Vaughan said.
Two key changes will immeasurably improve drug safety in the future, Vaughan added. A Senate-inspired provision opens up the internal FDA debate on whether or not to approve a drug, helping outside researchers see where the FDA's safety concerns lie and where more research is needed. "It will help develop a climate of openness and scientific debate within the FDA," Vaughan said.
The other key change will require FDA to monitor massive databases of medical records to detect short and long-term problems with new drugs. This research will also contribute to research on the comparative effectiveness of different medical procedures. "In the long run, this new medical data monitoring program may be the bill's most important contribution to safer and more effective medicines," Vaughan added.
The bill also includes some important first steps on food safety
reforms. It authorizes FDA to enhance seafood inspection, urges it to work
more closely with states on food safety, and requires certain parties to
report incidents where food might be adulterated. It also requires FDA to
establish standards for pet food, a response to the deadly pet food

The White House is trying to advance the debate over America's energy future on its own terms, which is to say: Talk about alternative energy instead of gas prices. President Obama's advisers know that Republicans want to use high pump prices as a weapon against his heavy investment in solar, wind, and other forms of alternative energy.
Obama fiercely believes in the promise of renewable energy and the ability of industries tied to it to create new manufacturing jobs with solid wages. Republicans in Congress want to dramatically cut future government investments in these technologies, and they cite three conspicuous federally subsidized failures to buttress their argument.
The government lost a combined $696 million in subsidies to now-bankrupt companies Solyndra (solar cells), Ener 1 (lithium-ion batteries), and Beacon Power (energy storage). Obama's stimulus law allocated $90 billion to green-jobs incentives and research. During the 2008 campaign, Obama promised that $150 billion in federal investments would yield 5 million new jobs. The White House progress report released last week said that investments to date have created 224,500 jobs.
Despite the bankruptcies and the underwhelming job-creation statistics, the White House believes that most Americans support new energy technologies and see through the GOP's call to expand domestic exploration.
As part of his weeklong energy tour, Obama stopped in Boulder City, Nev., on Wednesday to highlight the Copper Mountain Solar 1 Facility, the largest solar photovoltaic power plant in the nation. He then headed to Cushing, Okla., on Thursday to tout a new executive order speeding up the approval process for domestic pipeline construction. Cushing is where construction of the southern leg of the Keystone XL pipeline begins.
Internal polling data tell Obama's team that the GOP's hostility to alternative energy rankles young voters and upper-income moderates. By touring a solar plant, Obama knows he's shining a light on the Solyndra mess. The trip to Cushing underscores his regulatory moves to slow construction of the Keystone leg that begins in Canada.
In both cases, Obama is embracing the symbols of what Republicans say his energy policy has botched. But in the process, advisers say, he will also end up in a better position to protect his policies during the general-election campaign and expand them if he wins reelection.
Major Garrett
Buckling down, keeping your head, making the effort, grinding it out. That is what big leaguers do—in baseball and in politics.
Mitt Romney is a big leaguer. Americans like candidates with grit and resolution. And our long presidential campaign still serves as a revealing test—an ordeal in which candidates must confront the inevitable setbacks, persevere, and triumph. Romney has done that.
Then came the Etch A Sketch.
One of Romney's advisers, Eric Fehrnstrom, was asked after his candidate's Illinois win if the campaign will be able to pivot in the fall and woo the middle with the same alacrity it has displayed while wooing the Right. Sure, Fehrnstrom said, it's only a matter of pushing the reset button. It's like an Etch A Sketch, he went on to volunteer: You just turn the thing over, shake it up, and draw a new picture.
It was a very "D'oh!" moment. Unfortunately for poor Fehrnstrom, the imagery is irresistible. Everyone knows what an Etch A Sketch is: The gadget was part of every baby boomer's childhood, and most of them probably bought one for their kids. The toy is the very symbol of impermanence—an awful metaphor for a candidate whose major weakness is the suspicion, held by voters across the political spectrum, that he has no core beliefs, aside from his own ambition.
Conservative hecklers dressed in flip-flop costumes have been turning up at Romney events for years, so he will probably survive this particular gaffe and move on toward the Republican nomination. The intriguing question concerns the November election. Is Romney's malleability a politically fatal flaw?
It is possible that, after six years of hearing Mitt Romney described by his critics as craven, the electorate has digested the information and is ready to move on, and to judge him on his finer qualities. This he hopes.
John Aloysius Farrell
February saw the GOP presidential candidates draining their coffers as they fought bruising primaries in Michigan, Ohio, and other states.
Romney was the GOP's fundraising winner, bringing in $11.9 million in the month. But his fundraising tally underscored just how much the drawn-out primary cycle has cost his campaign. Romney spent more than he brought in—$12.3 million—and ended the month with just $7.2 million cash-on-hand. His allied super PAC, Restore Our Future, also spent big to help Romney in must-win contests, pouring $12.2 million into the races and beginning March with $10.5 million in the bank. Both Romney and his super PAC started this month with less in the bank than they spent in February.
At the beginning of the year, Romney and his super PAC reported $44 million in the bank; that's now dwindled to $17.9 million.
Rick Santorum had his best fundraising month, bringing in more than $9 million. But he also spent most of his haul—$7.8 million—and began March with $2.6 million cash-on-hand. That's why his campaign decided not to spend big bucks in Illinois, given the high price tag and uphill battle. But even more worrisome is the financial standing of Santorum's allied Red, White, and Blue super PAC, which reported only a pittance—$365,000—on hand.
Faring worst was Newt Gingrich, whose fundraising dried up in February and whose campaign is running in the red. He ended the month with $1.54 million in the bank and $1.55 million in debts.

Ipswich v Leicester City: David Nugent ready for frosty reception at Portman Road
Posted: November 23, 2013|
Leicester City striker David Nugent is expecting a frosty reception from the Ipswich fans this afternoon but says he revels in the role of pantomime villain.
Nugent is infamous at Portman Road because of his incredible goalscoring record against the Tractor Boys.
The 28-year-old has scored 11 times in 11 games against Ipswich, and has netted on every occasion he has played at Portman Road.
In five visits with Preston, Portsmouth and Leicester he has scored six goals in total, and has even scored there for England Under-21s.

Nugent takes the boos as a compliment and is relishing the opportunity to continue his goalscoring streak.
"Every time I go there I seem to score," said Nugent. "I get booed and that gees me on. I seem to wind the crowd up a little bit and it gets my game going when the fans get on my back. I like to try to punish them.
"The more they boo me the better I play, it seems. I enjoy that pantomime villain act and it seems to work for me.
"It is a compliment because they must think I am one of the best players in the side.
"You could say they are one of my favourite teams to play against. I made my debut for Preston at home against them and scored, and it has kicked on from there. I have always scored at Ipswich and I scored there for England Under-21s too. It is weird."
Nugent had a day to forget against Nottingham Forest in City's last fixture and missed a second-half penalty, the first spot-kick failure of his career.
But he said he will not hesitate to put the ball on the spot today if City are given another penalty.
"The penalty miss bothered me but I am over it now," he said.
"It is never nice to miss a penalty and it is the first I have missed in my career.
"I only started taking them this season, but I have scored six so that isn't too bad.
"Hopefully, I can get another one and put it away."
Meanwhile, Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy has said he could be slapped "with a wet copy of the Radio Times" if City do not line up as he expects this afternoon.
McCarthy is convinced City will retain their 4-4-2 formation, despite losing winger Anthony Knockaert to suspension.
Many expect City boss Nigel Pearson to opt for a three-man midfield, with either Dean Hammond or Matty James coming into the starting line-up, but not McCarthy.
"Leicester are coming here and will be 4-4-2," he said. "If they don't, then you can slap me with a wet copy of the Radio Times.
"I think Leicester are the best team in the league. If anyone else beats them this season in the league, then they'll have done very well."

I shouldn't say "doesn't work" I should say, It doesn't position properly. Any pointers here, I'm not very good at hacking Explorer.
Also, anyone have any links to a good php form function? Just need to deliver the contents to an email address.
Doesn't work in Firefox either. Don't be so quick to 'hack' for IE. If you layout things correctly and IE is in standards mode, it won't require much hacking.
Check the dimensions of the fieldsets and their margins. Also earlier IE did have a double float margin bug which is easily correctable by adding display: inline to that ruleset.

New Hampshire dropped two road games this past week, including the final game of the Downtown Marriott Cardinal Classic against No. 10 Louisville, in which the Wildcats fell to the host school, 82-40 … Against the Cardinals, junior forward Candace Williams (Norfolk, Mass.) tallied 17 points to lead the squad in scoring for the second-straight night … Sophomore center Jill McDonald (Middlebury, Vt.) tallied six points and pulled down five rebounds, all during the second half of action, which were in addition to her two blocks in the game ... Williams, the squad's leading scorer (14.8 ppg), led the Wildcats once again with 11 in the team's loss at Xavier, 62-36 … The performance against the Muskateers marked her 13th straight in double-figures to start the 2008-09 season … Also in the game, freshman guard Lauren Wells (West Chester, Pa.) chipped in with a career-high eight points for the Wildcats.
Despite a 56 shooting percent from the field in the contest, Maine dropped a 68-63 decision at Holy Cross to open up 2009 action ... Brittany Boser, who has scored in double-figures in four straight games, scored a career-high 24 points ... Junior guard Kristin Baker tossed in 10 points for the Black Bears ... The game marked the Black Bears seventh-straight defeat, as the team's last victory came at home against Robert Morris on Dec. 3, 54-52 ... Maine's other win of the season was against UMass, in which the Black Bears defeated the Minutemen, 54-45, at the Augusta Civic Center on Nov. 23 ... Freshman Samantha Baranowski avergages a team-best 9.8 points per game, while Boser averages 9.7 ... The Black Bears are 0-7 on the road this season.
Candace Williams (Norfolk, Mass.) tallied four consecutive double-doubles from Dec. 14 to Dec. 30. She is the only player to achieve the feat in almost 30 years, as the last Wildcat player to do so was Karen Bolton, who notched fi ve straight during the 1979-80 season. Williams, who leads the conference in rebounding (8.7 rpg), has posted double-fi gures in all 13 games to start the season. Th e last Wildcat to start the season on such a double-digit streak was Maren Matthias, in which she marked 18 straight 10-plus point performances to open up the 2003-04 season. Th e junior forward is fourth in the America East in points per game (14.8 ppg).
New Hampshire has won four straight against the Black Bears at home and have not lost to Maine in Lundholm Gymnasium since Feb. 11, 2004, a 63-50 decision. Th e Wildcats swept the two games with the Black Bears last season, which included a 70-55 home-win.
Junior center Racheal Fowler (Glassboro, N.J.) destroyed her previous career high of 10 points by posting 21 against Central Michigan on Dec. 28. She went 5-for-8 from the floor for 10 first-half points, then tallied 11 during the final frame. She finished the game on 9 of 15 shooting in the game.
Each member of the team pulled down at least one rebound, including a career-high 16 by Candace Williams (Norfolk, Mass.), to total a season-high 50 rebounds in the game against Morehead State (Dec. 29). The tally marked the first time New Hampshire totaled that many boards since Dec. 4, 2004 against Tennessee State.
BLOCK PARTY FOR McDONALD
Sophomore center Jill McDonald (Glassboro, N.J.) has tallied multiple blocks in six of the past seven games. She thwarted the ball away a career-best four times at UMass (Nov. 19), then posted that same mark against Northeastern (Dec. 9). The center is fourth in the conference in blocks per game (1.7 bpg).
Prior to the Xavier game, the Xavier athletic department honored Tara Boothe, a former women's basketball standout and current University of New Hampshire assistant coach. Boothe finished her career as the program's all-time leading scorer with 2,324 points. She is also Xavier's all-time leading rebounder and finished her career with 1,004 career boards. Her collegiate honors included three All-Atlantic 10 First Team selections (2004, '05, '06), 2003 Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year, All-Atlantic 10 Third Team in 2003 and three consecutive seasons on the Atlantic 10 All-Academic Team. Boothe's number (33) was also retired during the ceremony.
Morehead State head coach Mike Bradbury and New Hampshire head coach Kristin Cole, both in their second year at their prespective schools, both come from Xavier, where they served five years together (2002-2007) as assistants. During their tenures at Xavier, the Musketeers compiled an overall record of 106-50, made two NCAA Tournament appearances (2007, 2003) and three trips to the WNIT Tournament, including in 2005 when the team advanced to the quarterfinals. As assistants, they mentored current New Hampshire assistant Tara Boothe, who is Xavier's all-time leading scorer and rebounder.
The Wildcats shot 60.9 percent (14-23) from beyond the arc at Colgate (Dec. 3) hitting a record-setting 14 trifectas in the game. Junior guard Amy Simpson (Waterford, Conn.) drained six 3-pointers in the game, including five during the opening frame. The Wildcats, who sank nine during the opening stanza, broke the previous record on a 3-pointer by Chrissy Hall (Northbridge, Mass.) halfway through the final frame, marking the 13th trey of the game. With 9:23 reamining, Abigail LaRosa (Hampton, N.H.) hit the record-setting 14th 3-pointer of the game. The previous record, 12, was set last season against Maine (Jan. 30).
3-point special
Junior guard Amy Simpson (Waterford, Conn.) has recently cracked into the top-five on UNH's career 3-pointers list. This season, Simpson has hit 22 shots from beyond the arc, including six in the Wildcats' first win of the season at Colgate (Dec. 5). Last season, Simpson, who led the team in scoring, drained 55 shots from beyond the arc, which was just three shy of the record for 3-pointers in a single season. During her freshman campaign she recorded 45 3-pointers, including six trifectas in the Wildcats' final regular-season game at Binghamton (March 3, 2007).
The Wildcats overcame an 11-point halftime deficit against Northeastern to earn their first win at home this season. The squad improved its shooting from 25 percent (8-32) in the first half to 60 percent (15-25) in the final frame. Guiding the Wildcats were Candace Williams (Norfolk, Mass.) and Abigail LaRosa (Hampton, N.H.) who each registered 13 and 10 second-half points, respectively. The last time New Hampshire rallied back from a halftime shortcoming to garner a victory was versus Maine on Jan. 18, 2006. The Wildcats opened up the final stanza by going on a 14-1 run to take their first lead of the game. Ray Williams scored 10 second-half points to lead the charge for the Wildcats.
The Wildcats had five players register in double-figures en route to their first win of the season at Colgate (Dec. 5). Amy Simpson (Waterford, Conn.) led the squad with a career-high 24 points. Abigail LaRosa (Hampton, N.H.) tallied 19, while Chrissy Hall (Northbridge, Mass.) and Candace Williams (Norfolk, Mass.) delivered 13 apiece. Rounding out the high scorers was Racheal Fowler (Glassboro, N.J.), who posted 10 points for the Wildcats. The last time the Wildcats had five players score 10 or more points in one game was Nov. 7, 2006 against Wagner.
New Hampshire's game at Colgate (Dec. 5) marked a career night for many Wildcat players. Junior guard Amy Simpson (Waterford, Conn.) recorded a career-high 24 points to lead the squad in scoring. Simpson, who went 9-for-15 from the floor, drained a career high-tying six 3-pointers. Abigail LaRosa (Hampton, N.H.), Chrissy Hall (Northbridge, Mass.) and Kate Early (Corning, N.Y.) also had career highs with 19, 13 and eight points, respectively. LaRosa, with four treys, and Hall, with three, both had career nights from beyond the arc. Hall dished out a career-high four assists, while Candace Williams (Norfolk, Mass.) swiped away a career-best five steals.

Human trafficking. It's happening here on the High Plains.
You could see it at the park down the street. It could start on a computer in your home.
That was the case for Amarillo native, Kim Silvia.
"I was a victim of a child pornography ring and was victimized, started out online and then was victimized here in Amarillo," Silvia said.
Silvia's experience is not uncommon.
"The average age for a girl to start being prostituted in the United States is 13 years old, which is the age I was when I got out of the situation that I was in," Silvia said.
She got out, but others don't. And Silvia says these victims may not be who you imagine.
"When they think human trafficking, they're thinking of the person that's chained in the basement, when the reality is, 99 percent of the time, in America, it's done through manipulation, coersion," Silvia said.
DPS Trooper Chris Ray says trafficking is increasingly on the radar of law enforcement around the state.
"There is human trafficking, and those children are the ones who seem to be the most exposed to the violent crimes," Ray said.
According to Trooper Ray, law enforcement is just beginning to understand human trafficking.
"We probably encounter these kids every day and we don't even know it," he said.
The data on human trafficking is sparse. It's something that state has just begun to track.
Trooper Ray says, they're starting to find clues to how this secret world works.
"There's certain teddy bears that those people will have that indicate they're a member of a group, and this group teaches each other how to abduct kids, how to pimp them out. It's just overwhelming the information that they give each other," Ray said.
According to Trooper Ray, there are many misconceptions. Ray says while some victims come from outside the U.S., many cases happen right under your nose, the internet a feeding ground for traffickers, just as it was for Kim Silvia.
"I knew what had happened, but I didn't realize it was part of human trafficking."
Silvia was lucky. She escaped before it became something much worse.
"I began to investigate it and learn more about it, and it really just kind of changed the course of my life from that point," she said.
Now Silvia works with an organization called 'No Boundaries', to make people aware and stop the trend.
"Reality was, I had great parents, and I was in great schools, and it was just these people know what they're looking for. And they know how to groom and how to manipulate and how to coerce," Silvia said.
Those people and their victims are exaclty who Silvia, and law enforcement are looking at - trying to understand human trafficking and stop it.
'No Boundaries' is starting a chapter here in the Panhandle. The organization will host a volunteer training in Amarillo on November 15th, 16th and 17th. You can still sign up to attend here.

I haven't been much of a PvPer on my main character, an Alliance rogue. In fact, I've been rather horrible at it. (I suppose I do better from range, since I always had much better luck as a hunter or warlock.) Nonetheless, I've been learning a lot in the past few weeks and have decided to aim for at least an 1850 rating this time around. For many hardcore PvPers, that goal is probably laughably easy to attain. For someone like me, who has basically died ten times each week to grab a few welfare epics, it seems rather lofty.
I've started building up my PvP gear and reading up on strategies. My main arena partner and I have even discussed respecing our talents a couple of times a week in order to maximize our PvP potential while maintaining our current level of raiding ability. I'm not sure how far we'll go, but we'd both like to pick up some new weapons.
There must be other players that are in a similar situation, getting into the arena seriously for the first time. I imagine that yet other people will simply be content to grab more items from the cheaper "Merciless" rewards. What are your own goals for this arena season? Are you going to any special measures to achieve them?

We found this blog called Stuff Educated Chicanos Like | Information on those kids from Aztlan and it's like it was conceived and written about us here at Pocho, but no.
The blog started in 2008 and hasn't been updated since 2011, but it still makes us LOL.
(We stole just eight headlines from the original 23 entries for this Pocho Ocho list, so you'll have to read this post and find the link at the end for the extensive original story.)
¡Mira! Pocho Ocho things educated Chicanos like, with links to POCHO examples:
(PNS reporting from EAST LOS ANGELES) In Nineteen Hundred and Ninety-Two, Morrissey sailed the ocean blue — seeking passage to a special show in Indio.
With a few wrong turns, Morrissey's tour bus got lost on the freeway, and the British singer and former frontman of The Smiths ended up at a gas station in East Los Angeles.
And it was on this day in history that Morrissey made an awesome discovery: Chicanos.
"They were unlike anything I had ever seen before," the singer told PNS in an exclusive pre-Hispanic Heritage Month interview. "My life has never been the same since! How can they look into our eyes, and still they don't believe us?" [Mas…]
I consider myself Latina, close to my family's Mexican culture; I'm bilingual and I'm happy with that identity. But, more often than not, it seems like everyone else is trying to corral me into some other identity, telling me that mine is not sufficient.
The neighborhood where I live (photos, above) is a perfect example.
It's split in two: one part of it is gentrifying rapidly, and the other is filled with Mexican and many immigrant families. I where it's more Mexican, which makes me — in all my professional hipster-ness — stand out sometimes, but people still speak to me in Spanish and often I just become part of the scenery. But then there are other times. [Mas…]
The Walking Dead is a great television series. It has captured that attention of the nation with a human drama centered around less-than-human storylines. But it is not without its own flaws, one of which is the lack of racial diversity on the show.
One of the people I follow on Twitter is Glen Mazzara, the executive producer and one of the writers for The Walking Dead. His Twitter feed usually consists of promos for the show but the other day he posted a link to an article in Slate that criticized the show for only allowing one black guy at a time among the living. The Tweet ? "One Black Guy at a Time."
The article noted that the show's only black female character, Michonne, was not allowed to use words to settle conflicts – she always resorts to the sword. Rick, the show's main character, has used reason to get out of a bad situation on more than one occasion. Why does the black chick always have to be pissed off, silent and bloodthirsty? [Mas…]

Needed: a meal that would win a man's heart!
I have recently decided i am ready to start dating.
I figure i need to be equipt with a heart winning meal that i can bust out at any given occasion!
I am pretty old fashion, and i just LOVE cooking for people and sharing my love through food, so i would love to hear from
A) ladies that have stolen someones heart with a meal
B) men, what kind of meal would win your hearts!
disclaimer: I am only having a little fun with this, i mean no disrespect and I apologize if this comes off sexist. I am just a girl that loves to cook, and truly believes food can make every tummy happy. I also believe that cooking for someone is an a great way to show them you care :)

This series consists of talks in the area of Foundations of Quantum Theory. Seminar and group meetings will alternate.
Quantum entanglement has two remarkable properties. First, according to Bell\'s theorem, the statistical correlations between entangled quantum systems are inconsistent with any theory of local hidden variables. Second, entanglement is monogamous -- that is, to the degree that A and B are entangled with each other, they cannot be entangled with any other systems. It turns out that these properties are intimately related.
We all know that the EPR argument fails, and we can all provide proofs of one sort or another that it can\'t work. But in spite of this, there\'s something curiously tempting about the reasoning, and the temptation sometimes leads to needless perplexity about other issues. This paper will do two things. It will offer a diagnosis of where the EPR argument goes wrong that shows why we should be suspicious long before we get to Bell-type results, and then use the thought behind this diagnosis to suggest an orientation toward thinking about quantum states.
This paper critically examines the view of quantum mechanics that emerged shortly after the introduction of quantum mechanics and that has been widespread ever since. Although N. Bohr, P. A. M. Dirac, and W. Heisenberg advanced this view earlier, it is best exemplified by J. von Neumann's argument in Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics (1932) that the transformation of \'a [quantum] state ... under the action of an energy operator . . . is purely causal,\' while, \'on the other hand, the state ... which may measure a [given] quantity ...
Conventional quantum mechanics answers this question by specifying the required mathematical properties of wavefunctions and invoking the Born postulate. The ontological question remains unanswered. There is one exception to this. A variation of the Feynman chessboard model allows a classical stochastic process to assemble a wavefunction, based solely on the geometry of spacetime paths. A direct comparison of how a related process assembles a Probability Density Function reveals both how and why PDFs and wavefunctions differ from the perspective of an underlying kinetic theory.
Many statistics problems involve predicting the joint strategy that will be chosen by the players in a noncooperative game. Conventional game theory predicts that the joint strategy will satisfy an ``equilibrium concept\'\'. The relative probabilities of the joint strategies satisfying the equilibrium concept are not given, and all joint strategies that do not satisfy it are given probability zero. As an alternative, I view the prediction problem as one of statistical inference, where the ``data\'\' includes the details of the noncooperative game.
I show that physical devices that perform observation, prediction, or recollection share an underlying mathematical structure. I call devices with that structure ``inference devices\'\'. I present a set of existence and impossibility results concerning inference devices. These results hold independent of the precise physical laws governing our universe. In a limited sense, the impossibility results establish that Laplace was wrong to claim that even in a classical, non-chaotic universe the future can be unerringly predicted, given sufficient knowledge of the present.
The unparalleled empirical success of quantum theory strongly suggests that it accurately captures fundamental aspects of the workings of the physical world. The clear articulation of these aspects is of inestimable value --- not only for the deeper understanding of quantum theory in itself, but for its further development, particularly for the development of a theory of quantum gravity.
We start by studying the non-computational geometry of fractionally-dimensioned measure-zero dynamically-invariant subsets of phase space, associated with certain deterministic nonlinear dissipative dynamical systems. Then, by studying the asymptotic states of the Hawking Box, the existence of such invariant subsets is conjectured for gravitationally-bound systems. The argument hinges around the phase-space properties of black holes. Like Penrose, it is assumed that phase-space volumes shrink when the contents of the Hawking Box contain black holes.

Who are you to quote P@P. In your family that term only means probation and parol. Im glad you used your real name. Because most people know who you are and know you are only trying to twist the facts of the case.(the few facts that you may have heard) to slander this young officer. The fact is, he actually didn't even persue the vehicle at all, but the officer the officer that did get behind the. Vehicle with lights wasn't disaplined at all. He wasnt fired because of a pursuit. He was fired because the Department doesnt stand behind their officers nor does the public that these men and woman protect everyday, for fear of looking racist to the Sprung Hill Citizens.

@JoelECarlson – Hello everyone, and welcome to the Food-Friday Twitterview of @StephMarch. Set your timers to 1hr and lets get cooking!
Q – #1 So @stephmarch, where did you grow up and what led you to doing the work that you do today?
A: I am a Minny girl, from the Orono area, and I guess I am just always hungry.
Q – #2 Obviously by your Twitter Avatar image, you are in the food business. What kind of work specifically do you do?
A: I am currently the food editor for MSP Magazine and I have a radio show on MyTalk 107.1 called Weekly Dish.
Q – #3 So for the @MSPmag, are you given assignments as to places to check out, or do you do your own "hunting"?
A: I am the one who doles out the assignments, which means that I am rabidly watching all media for mentions of new places.
Q – #4 Ah! So do you work then with @DeRushaEats & @FreshTartSteph? Any new trends in restaurants in MSP right now?
A: wow. Nice gaffe :) While I love and appreciate those cats, they write for "the competition". I'm at @MSPMag.
As for trends, it seems to be all about cassoulet, agnolotti and octopus right now. And you can bet the small plate revolution
going to keep on keeping on. Plus I think you'll see other cities grasping more in the way we do. And bourbon, It's all about bourbon
Q – #5 OOOPS! My sincere apologies to you and @MSPmag. :) Any trends that you've seen locally that will continue?
A: Hakuna matata! I also think you'll see a lot more cross-collaboration between restos. Like when @ScottPampuch cooked at
The Local the other night. This generation of chef buddies that's currently at the stoves all like to hang and travel together,
despite the different employers. It's going to be a fun ride over the next couple of years.
Q – #6 What do you see or envision with the coffee shop & cupcake scenes? Will they continue to grow?
A: I think the coffee scene is blooming right now, what with all the fiends doing one-cup brewing. I'm a fan. So I think
we'll still see growth there, but not hugely like Starbux, because it's anti-commodity. Cupcakes aren't dead, but might
have a little while longer. They're fun, but places like @patisserie46 and Solveig's new Sun Street breads will lead a new level of
baking in town. Also, donuts are the next cupcakes.
Q – #7 I've tried @YoYoDonuts and they are fabulous! Now your Favorite: casual restaurant, store, winter activity & grocery.
A: Picking a fave resto is like choosing a fave kid (of which I have 4), but I will say that I like burgers at Lion's Tap
and I'm enamored with the pizza @PizzeriaLola and I can't stop thinking about the dry rub wings @ PsychoSuzis. Winter is for braising
and dark beer drinking. Although I am known to road run in the snow to keep the size of my butt manageable. Grocery is a toughie, I
stop at a lot of places to get what I want, and yes I buy giant pork shoulders at costco so that I can have pulled pork for days, but
I'm a Kowalski's fan, but more often frequent Lunds.
Q – #8 How have you found the use of Social Media for getting your thoughts, ideas and views out to your audience to be?
A: I luff it. I am ridiculously addicted to the twitter and I think it brings foodies, especially, close together. I love
when people tweet about what they've eaten, it helps give a good understanding of what restos are doing from the eaters perspective
My fam gets a little annoyed when I tweet during dinner, but whatevs. I think the conversations about food are fresh and driven by
hunger and passion and heart. You don't find that in a lot of industries. Nobody in carpentry is tweeting about carving, are they?
Q – #9 Ah, I don't think so. The foodies literally talk from their gut right? :) Any advice for future food writer/reviewers?
A: Food writers/reviewers need some credibility, I think, so I'd say get your butt in a resto job at least once. You can't
really measure a place unless you've been in their shoes in some way shape or form. Also, eat everything. If you don't think you like
shrimp or bleu cheese, eat it at least 10 times. And then keep trying it. Breaking into the paid world of food writing is super hard
you have to make connections and be out there with a real and unique voice. So keep tweeting and meeting and eating. Sorry :)
@JoelECarlson – Good advice from someone that knows! Thank you very much @stephmarch for your time and insights today. Have a great evening!
@StephMarch – Cheers! Off to Happy Hour!!! With Bourbon!

Seriously: new GPU because I am dreaming about second LCD and my current one (GF7300GT) does not support such luxury.
I'd like an external hard drive for backups. Yeah, that's all I want, I could make the case for more RAM or a new GPU, but I don't really need them right now.At least I bought this.

Through learning and participating in dance, students are able to reflect on the ways dance is a part of the human experience in general, and more specifically, as part of ones own life. Each semester students may choose from two different dance courses offered through the Department of Theatre. Styles covered are ballet, tap, jazz, and modern. In addition to these mainstay courses, a non-traditional dance course is usually offered every other year. Topics covered in the course may include dance improvisation, musical theatre styles, or another topic that relates directly to an upcoming theatre department production.
Under the leadership of Department of Theatre faculty, the University Dance Ensemble meets regularly throughout the academic year for technique classes and choreography. All university students are welcomed to join. Academic credit can be given for those students choreographing or performing in the annual Concert of Dance. The University Dance Ensemble regularly invites dancers from the surrounding northwest Indiana community to perform with the ensemble as part of its mission to make dance a more visible part of the community.
There are numerous performance opportunities for interested dancers and student choreographers. Past performances have included the opening of the Center for the Arts, museum openings, MLK Jr. Opening Convocation, Advent Vesper services, liturgical dance at area churches, Department of Theatre productions,Festival of Dance, as well as the annual Concert of Dance. This annual concert highlights faculty, student and guest choreographers. Auditions for this concert are held at the beginning of the fall semester.

What in the name of Sweet Fannie Adams was a nine year old girl doing with an Uzi in her hands at a gun range in Arizona.
As her parents stood by taking a video, the child shot and killed the instructor in a gruesome accident, something that poor child will have haunt her for the rest of her life.
The irrationality of the situation boggles the mind. The fault rests squarely on the shoulders of the parents who allowed their young child to handle a weapon, and on the owners of the gun range for not having laws against elementary school age children on the range property, let alone use a gun.
The worst part of this scenario was the fact that the gun was a weapon of war that should only be in the hands of a trained soldier on a military mission. Its idiocy to have it at a domestic gun range.
How can any place selling guns , or offering instruction in the use of them, allow anyone on the premises under the age of 18? What rationale can there possibly be for youngsters to be using a heavy rifle, even under so-called supervision? For that matter, a mere child handling any type of gun is an accident waiting to happen.
Parents and shooting instructors who are the supposed supervisors are not in control. Theyre not holding the weapon. Theyre not handling the childs movement. Theyre most definitely not able to intervene if shooting the gun throws the child off balance.
The situation could be equated to a 6-year-old driving a car under supervision.
Now that military type weapons are allowed at gun ranges and handled by children, it could be compared to their driving a souped up sports car. What has happened to common sense in this picture?
Until there is some conscious effort made to change the laws concerning the age of those allowed to participate at gun ranges, or even be permitted to enter the premises, other deadly accidents will continue to happen. The consequences of these horror stories are not on the children, but shockingly on the adults who are thinking like children.

Do you remember when Google AdWords announced that its new Product Listing Advertisements were available to all Pay Per Click Advertisers to use within their Google AdWords Campaigns?
If not, let's give you a quick recap…
Product Listing Advertisements via Google AdWords are advertisements which allow Pay Per Click Advertisers to bid on product-related keywords. Therefore, if you are a florist and you specialize in flower arrangements for funerals, you might want to bid on keywords such as "funeral flowers," "funeral Bouquets," or even "funeral wreaths," as an example.
When you bid on these keywords and you create your Google AdWords Advertisement, the Google Adwords Product Listing Feature will allow you to place a picture of your product next to the text section of the advertisement, which is clearly even more enticing for a potential customer. Google AdWords Product Listing Advertisements can help a business to generate higher CTRs thanks to their particular style and layout.
Now that we are up to date with what the Google AdWords Product Listing Advertisement actually is, it will make even more sense as to why the ability to be able to use negative keywords alongside these advertisements will allow Pay Per Click Advertisers to optimize their Pay Per Click Campaigns even further.

The 4th line–there's been a lot made of it–but we've intentionally brought players in and out to give them experience, and to get them familiar with what goes on here and play in games here. We've used it as a little bit of a development tool, because we want to get these young players into game experience in the NHL. And, even if they're not ready to be as consistent as we'd like, you still want them to get familiar with everything that goes on: game days, how it works, getting on the plane, familiar with the training staff, familiar with their teammates. So we've used that as a little bit of an experiment the whole year, and now we feel pretty confident that we have young players [for whom] it won't be a big surprise if we have to use them down the stretch or in the playoffs. [...] Even though we might have wanted more consistency out of that line, we have used it for different purposes at different times, so it's a little unfair to say we've been searching for something.
The purpose of the fourth line is to flip out and kill people. Oh wait, that's ninjas. Nevermind!
I'm surprised this 'revelation' is a surprise to some. (But I don't go on other boards and I don't read the frantic local media all that often, hence my ignorance of this 4th line 'issue'…) I just thought the reason for the rotation was obvious, given our lucky streak so far (knock on wood) for surprisingly few injuries. They'll surely come (knock knock knock), but I had always assumed this seemingly helter-skelter 4th line changing was preparatory. In previous years, the Canucks had inexperienced sudden call-ups to disastrous effect. This is just further proof they've been paying attention to all their errors: Trust in Gillis has been my mantra this season. I see I can continue to chant this right into the playoffs…
You briefly mentioned Tanner Glass' leadership history: "begging the question of whether Glass is being intentionally utilized as a mentor, especially considering his leadership history."
I'm totally unfamiliar with this history, is it good, or bad? Or is it ironically non-existent?
I liked the article. Thanks for this.
But this kind of seems like Gillis is sort of using bogus hindsight in saying "yeah…we were giving new kids a look this whole time…didnt you know?" to make it seem purposeful when in fact, during the process, he was just throwing anything together to see if anything stuck. why wouldnt he just have said so from the beginning if this was the case? put it up on his twitter, perhaps?
also, I don't know if you can call "prospecting" meaningful when AV was consistently and regularly throwing the 4th line out there for 3-5 minutes a game. what is 3-5 minutes a game (with none of it in crunch time or anything resembling crunch time) going to show you about what a young, untried player has? furhter that puts more stain on lines 1-3. my comment has no real point, i'm just saying i think gillis is full of hot air on this one. this isnt nhl 11 GM mode…this is the NHL.

Stucco window detailing
Seen today on a 20-year-old house near San Antonio, TX.
Boosted lintels and sills, painted wood casings and mulls, the windows sub-framed with 2x4 inset into 2x6 wall framing, so the stucco can be rolled into the casings, probable using a quarter-round molding underneath.
So my question is, what do you suppose was used, back in 1994 when this was built, as the substrate parts for the edge rolls, and the lintel and sills? The sills and lintels are likely not stone. They are stucco-coated, and when I knock on the surfaces with my hand or a stick, I am not sensing it as stone.
