1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of compressed air and gas systems, and more particularly to air/gas-driven tools, such as paint guns and other equipment. The present invention further relates to dryness indicators designed to visually indicate the moisture content of compressed gas or air delivered to a point of use.
2. Description of Prior Art
Typical compressed air or gas produced by a compressor apparatus is saturated with 50% to 100% relative humidity. Removal of this moisture vapor requires that an air/gas drying system be used, such as a refrigerated dryer or an adsorbent type of dryer. Such apparatus are generally very effective, the latter being typically capable of drying compressed air or gas to below-zero dew point levels. Notwithstanding such drying measures, there is unfortunately no guarantee that the compressed air or gas will have the desired dryness by the time it arrives through an air/gas feed system to a downstream point of use. Compressed air lines, various fitting and regulation devices, or improper operation of the dryer system all represent sources of residual moisture vapor entrainment in the air/gas feed system. This means that moisture-treated compressed air or gas may be carrying unwanted moisture vapor when it goes into use as an application.
One area where this problem tends to occur is in paint booth operations where compressed air or gas is used as a propellant to atomize and expel paint from a paint gun. Even though extraordinary measures are often implemented to eliminate moisture vapor at the compressed air/gas source, moisture can still be delivered to the paint gun. In some cases, this may be due to the drying system losing effectiveness due to a malfunction or other problem. However, even if the drying system is operating at full operational efficiency, the lengthy hoses connecting the air source to the paint gun can introduce unwanted moisture vapor into the system. In particular, these hoses can be disconnected and re-connected any number of times throughout the course of a painting application. Each time a disconnection occurs, moisture-laden ambient air is allowed to enter the air/gas line, and will feed through the paint gun until such time as it evacuated from the line and replaced by dry air/gas coming from the air/gas source. Any time there is excess moisture vapor in a paint gun, unwanted fouling can occur that results in a bad and unacceptable paint job. In most cases, the unsuspecting painter will assume the air/gas quality is satisfactory, particularly when there is sophisticated drying equipment operating at the air/gas source.
Various dryness indicators have been proposed for use in compressed air, gas and refrigerant applications. These typically involve the use of a moisture-adsorbing silica gel desiccant that is impregnated with a chemical moisture indicator, such as a cobalt salt. This particular chemical indicator is normally a deep blue color when it is dry, but gradually turns a light pink color in proportion to the amount of moisture that is present as the salt hydrates. In a dryness indicator, the color-indicating desiccant is placed in contact with a compressed air/gas stream within a transparent or translucent container, so that the desiccant can be viewed during operations.
Prior art dryness indicators tend to have design features that prevent them from being optimally suited for point-of-use operation in conjunction with a hand-held air/gas-driven tool, such as a paint gun, where moisture monitoring is most needed. In all of the reference materials reviewed, the prior art dryness indicators form part of a filter/dryer that requires a relatively large quantity of desiccant to effectively remove moisture for a reasonable length of time. This quantity of desiccant is more than that which is required to indicate dryness. The filter/dryers in which prior art dryness indicators are incorporated also tend to include additional elements to condense and remove moisture droplets from the air/gas stream, and to trap oil, line debris and other contaminants. As a result of the foregoing design features, most prior art dryness indicators are large or bulky, and not suitable for point-of-use operation.
It is to solving the foregoing problems that the present invention is directed. What is particularly needed is an improved compressed air/gas dryness indicator that is optimized for point-of-use operation with an air/gas-driven tool, such as a paint gun. Ideally, the dryness indicator needs to provide a visual indication identifying the exact state of dryness of the compressed air/gas line, yet must be unobtrusive and afford full freedom of movement at the point-of-use without any impediment of bulky filters, desiccant containers, cumbersome vessels, etc. The dryness indicator additionally needs to be easy to install and use, should be simple and inexpensive, and should require little or no maintenance.
The foregoing problems are solved and an advance in the art is achieved by a novel air/gas-driven tool having an air/gas dryness indicator integrated therewith. In exemplary embodiments of the invention, the dryness indicator is implemented by way of a dryness-indicating material, such as a color-changing desiccant or moisture sensitive paper, that is disposed in a cavity formed as part of the tool's air/gas flow passage. One or more view ports are provided at convenient locations for viewing the dryness-indicating material. The dryness-indicating material can be conveniently carried in an indicator cartridge that is in fluid communication with the cavity. The indicator cartridge represents a replaceable active element that can be renewed from time-to-time during the operational life of the tool. The indicator cartridge may include a vessel that defines a containment chamber for containing the dryness-indicating material.
In one embodiment in which the indicator cartridge is completely received within the air/gas-driven tool, the vessel is configured with a first and second ends and a central portion disposed between said first and second ends. The central portion of the vessel defines a containment chamber for containing the dryness-indicating material. This portion of the vessel is light transmissive so that the dryness-indicating material can be viewed externally of the vessel, through one or more view ports formed on the tool. A pair of air/gas-permeable closures cap the ends of the vessel in order to retain the dryness-indicating material therein. The closures also respectively perform pre-filtering and after-filtering functions. Each closure includes a non-planar central portion that creates a protuberance on a first side thereof extending into the containment chamber, and a plenum-defining cavity on a second side thereof facing away from the containment chamber. A seating spacer is placed in the cavity on the inlet side of the indicator cartridge in order to retain the cartridge in an installation position and provide an additional plenum. The cavity is closed by a retainer fitting that can be removed to facilitate insertion and removal of the indicator cartridge.
In another embodiment in which the indicator cartridge is mounted on a surface portion of the air/gas-driven tool and includes its own view port, the vessel containing a dryness-indicating material is configured with an air/gas permeable first end in fluid communication with the tool's air/gas flow passage and a non-permeable second end that is light transmissive so that the dryness-indicating material can be viewed externally of the vessel, with second end of the vessel providing the view port.
The invention is further directed to a replacement indicator cartridge that can be inserted within or mounted on a surface of an air/gas-driven tool when new dryness-indicating material is required. The invention additionally contemplates an alternative air/gas dryness indicator that is implemented by way of an electromechanical moisture detector and a numeric display that displays such air/gas dryness parameters as relative humidity, dew point temperature, or both. The invention likewise contemplates the use of additional numeric displays for indicating other compressed air/gas characteristics, such as flow, temperature, pressure and possibly pH.
The foregoing and other features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of exemplary embodiments of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying Drawings in which:

As an alternative to using the desiccant 48, a moisture sensitive paper that turns color according to the surrounding moisture content could be used. For example, as is conventionally known, when Bromide salts are distributed on litmus paper, a color change from light lime green to deep yellow will be exhibited as the relative humidity increases in the air/gas to which the paper is exposed. The relative humidity level at which this color change occurs can be formulated according to the distribution of the Bromide salt material on the paper. This implies that the moisture indicating characteristics of the paper can be adjusted according to the application. Thus, for tools requiring very dry air, the moisture sensitive paper could be designed so that the color change occurs at a low relative humidity threshold, such as about 10-20%. Higher relative humidity thresholds could be used for tools that are not as sensitive to moisture. It will be appreciated that other known varieties of moisture sensitive paper may also be used to produce different colors at different levels of moisture content.
In the event that moisture sensitive paper is used in lieu of the desiccant 48, the manner in which it is applied to the indicator cartridge 30, as well as the construction of the cartridge itself, can be varied in a number of ways. One technique would be to spray the moisture sensitive paper in particulate form onto the inside of the vessel 38, along with a suitable adhesive agent. Another technique would be to roll a sheet of the moisture sensitive paper into a tube and insert it into the vessel 38. A further option would be to spray or otherwise affix the moisture sensitive paper to a solid substrate that is then placed in the vessel 38, such as a flat plate, a disk, a cylinder, a sphere, etc. A further exemplary cartridge construction featuring moisture sensitive paper is discussed in detail below with reference to
The first and second ends 40 and 42 of the vessel 38 are capped by a pair of air/gas-permeable closures 50 that contain the desiccant 48 in the vessel 38 and also perform a filtering function. Each of the closures 50 is formed by a domed screen 52 and a peripheral member 54. The screens 52 extend substantially across the entire cross-sectional area defined by the ends 40 and 42 of the vessel 38, and must thus be permeable to the air/gas stream passing through the indicator cartridge 30. The screen 52 can be made from any suitable air/gas permeable material provided it is also strong enough to perform its function of retaining the desiccant 48 within the containment chamber 46. A perforated metal sheet made from stainless steel or the like, or a metal weave, is preferred. A sieve size of about 50 mesh may be used if the dryness indicating material 48 comprises silica gel beads. This sieve size is sufficiently small to trap desiccant bead particles that can be produced on the outlet end of the indicator cartridge 30 should the beads fracture and break apart during use of the indicator cartridge 30, yet is not so small as to produce unwanted pressure drop. Thus, the closure 50 at the outlet end of the indicator cartridge 30 will function as an after filter. At the inlet end of the indicator cartridge, the closure 50 will help pre-filter unwanted particulates such as dirt and oil.
The peripheral member 54 of each closure 50 can be made from various materials, including silicone rubber, plastic, etc. The peripheral member 54 are generally ring shaped, and may also comprise annular stub portions 55 that extend into the vessel 38 a short distance, if a seal needs to be maintained with first and second ends 40 and 42 of the vessel. The peripheral members 54 can be attached to the vessel 38 in any suitable fashion, such as by way of adhesive bonding, heat bonding, etc. It would also be possible to integrally form the peripheral members 54 as part of the vessels first and second ends 40 and 42. In that case, however, a means would needed to introduce the dryness-indicating material into the containment chamber 46. Each peripheral member 54 can be secured to the periphery of its associated screen 52 by molding the former in the presence of the screen.
It will be observed that the screens 52, due to their domed shape, each form a protuberance or central raised portion on an inner side thereof that extends into the containment chamber 46 of the vessel 38. The domed shape of each screen 52 likewise forms a plenum-defining cavity on an outer side thereof facing away from the containment chamber 46. Although the screens 52 are shown to be generally rounded in
Minimizing pressure drop is an important goal when it is considered that the tool 10 is primarily intended to be used in a compressed air/gas system that already incorporates a conventional filter/dryer in the compressed air/gas line. The existing filter/dryer will normally produce its own pressure drop, and its output pressure may not be significantly higher than what is required by the tool 10. In a painting application, for example, an HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) spray guns require a minimum pressure of 30-40 psi in order to operate properly. The indicator cartridge 30 must be capable of delivering air or gas at the required pressure, and every effort must be made to avoid reducing the line pressure significantly below what is provided to the inlet side of the cartridge. By virtue of the domed configuration of the screens 52, the indicator cartridge 30 is able to function as a low-pressure-drop dryness indicator apparatus within the tool 10.
The indicator cartridge 30 is designed to be inserted into the cavity 32 through an access port 56 at the bottom of the housing 36. Following insertion of the indicator cartridge 30 through the access port 56, a spacer 58 of generally tubular configuration can be inserted to insure that the indicator cartridge 30 is properly seated within the cavity 32. The spacer 58 also provides an additional plenum at the inlet side of the indicator cartridge 30 to further distribute the compressed air/gas flowing through the desiccant 48 and reduce pressure drop. A removable closure in the form of a retainer fitting 60 is used to cap the access port 56 once the indicator cartridge 30 and the spacer 58 are inserted therein. The retainer fitting 60 is generally tubular in shape and is provided with a central bore 61 to pass compressed air/gas into the cavity 32. A first threaded portion 62 comprising a male thread pattern engages a corresponding female thread pattern formed at the access port 56. A second threaded portion 64 has a male thread pattern that engages a corresponding female thread pattern (not shown) formed in the fitting "F" of the hose line "L" (see
Once the indicator cartridge 30 is disposed in the cavity 32, and properly positioned by the spacer 58, the desiccant 48 will be visible externally of the tool 10 by virtue of an opening 70 formed in the wall of the housing 36. This opening defines the view port 28 of
During operation of the tool 10, compressed air or gas will flow into the cavity 32 through the central bore 61 of the retainer fitting 60 seated in the access port 56. The compressed air/gas will enter the area of the spacer 58, which allows the air/gas to disperse cross-sectionally before entering into the indicator cartridge 30 through the (pre-filtering) end closure 50 disposed at the inlet end 42 of the vessel 38. As the compressed air/gas passes through the desiccant 48, this material will respond according to the moisture content of the air or gas. For example, if the desiccant 48 comprises cobalt salt-treated silica gel beads, a deep blue color will indicate that the compressed air/gas is at a satisfactory dryness level, whereas a pink or magenta color will indicate an unsatisfactory dryness level. The compressed air/gas will continue out the (after-filtering) end closure 50 disposed at the outlet end 40 of the vessel 38, and into the flow passage 34, where it is utilized according to the conventional mechanics of the tool 10 (e.g., to deliver paint to be sprayed in a paint gun embodiment of the tool). Because of the positioning of the view port(s) 28 provided by the opening(s) 70, the state of the desiccant 48 can be regularly monitored by the user. In the event that the desiccant 48 does indicate a moisture problem, the user can stop the application and address the problem, thereby greatly reducing the risk of a compromised application, such as a fouled paint job. In most cases, when the moisture problem is corrected and there is a resumption of dry air/gas flow, the desiccant 48 will return to it original color.
After many wet/dry cycles, the performance of the desiccant 48 will degrade, and the desiccant will eventually lose its effectiveness. Moreover, the pre-filtering and after-filtering end closures 40 and 42 of the indicator cartridge 30 will at some point become clogged to the extent that pressure drop becomes excessive. To remedy these conditions, the indicator cartridge 30 is designed as a replaceable active element that can be easily changed out from time to time during the operational life of the tool 10. Promptly replacing the indicator cartridge 30 when problems arise will help ensure that the tool 10 remains in top operating condition.

Two people were hurt after a rollover accident that backed up traffic on eastbound Interstate 94 for several hours in Minneapolis Saturday afternoon.
A semi rolled causing the crash with three other vehicles around 10 a.m., on I-94 near 42nd Avenue, according to the Minnesota State Patrol.
Troopers said a pickup truck lost the trailer it was hauling and a semi swerved to avoid it. The semi then landed on top of an SUV.
People had to be pulled from at least one of the vehicles, according to authorities.
According to the state patrol, two drivers, 43-year-old Brett Volkmeier of Northfield and 57-year-old William Fedock of Burnsville suffered non-life threatening injuries. Six others were not hurt.
All four eastbound lanes were blocked and traffic was getting by on the shoulder at one point. The freeway fully reopened around 1 p.m.
The state patrol is still investigating.

Compile source code to DMG?
Hi, it's my first post. please go easy on me...and i hope i've posted this in the correct place!
I'm a very new Mac user, just switched over a couple weeks ago. Till now, i really really love the Mac! but i'm also at the same time missing this particular software i had on windows.
It's a subtitle editing software called Gaupol Subtitle Editor
I've been looking everywhere for a Mac version, but there seems to be only the source code available. I'm no programmer, all these things are alien to me! i tried reading up some tutorial, downloaded the Xcode, but i don't even know where to begin with...
Is it even possible to compile/convert the source code to a dmg file? or what are the ways i should follow to get this software on my Mac?
Really appreciate if someone could guide me step by step on what is to be done. I'm willing to learn, but please be very patient with me. I'm not in any bit tech savvy...
As per their webpage:
Hello, Welcome to M-F :)
First of all, I have the nagging suspicion that you are using your applications from DMG files which is only meant to store the app till it is downloaded.
How to Install Software from DMG Files on a Mac
<See Vansmiths answer>
Have you looked for other software that can do the same thing?
Some of these are a bit old, make sure you have a backup of the files you are gonna edit just in case.
Download Subs Factory for Mac - Subtitles editor. MacUpdate Mac Software Downloads
Download Jubler for Mac - Edit text-based subtitles; version 4.1.3 is available through the app. MacUpdate Mac Software Downloads
i did try a few other alternatives, even those McYukon suggested. but none of them seems to have the ability to remove hearing impaired text from the sub.
guess i have to resort to buying bootcamp or parallels, and block internet connection to reduce the risk of virus all that nonsense.
anyway, still very thankful for your replies (:
Why not run a VM? That would be much simpler for one program and will save you from having to reboot. I'd also suggest that you look into VirtualBox which is a free virtualization program which may suit your needs.
sorry for bring up this thread/replying so late. i kinda lost the link.
thank you for your suggestion vansmith.
i'm in luck, found this program called winebottler that manage to install and run some of my can't-do-without PC stuffs successfully. only the simpler programs though. but i'm happy enough (:

University strike: Lectures cancelled as University and College Union members walk out
Posted: February 10, 2014|
THOUSANDS of Nottingham students had their lectures and seminars cancelled as university staff went on strike yesterday.
It was the third in a series of strikes organised by the University and College Union against proposed one per cent pay rises for lecturers.
While most lecturers across the country, including those at the University of Nottingham, walked out for two hours, it was a different story at Nottingham Trent, where many took the whole day off.
They decided to make that move as bosses at the university had told them they were being docked a full day's pay even if they just missed two hours of work.

It left students across the city with spare time, though those spoken to by the Post from Nottingham Trent were in support of their lecturers.
Mohammed Hamza, 20, a second year business management student, said: "I had a morning lecture cancelled because of the strike.
"It is a bit of an inconvenience but I feel the staff work hard and deserve to get more recognition, so I feel they are doing the right thing."
First year business and HR management student Lisa McColm, 29, said: "When we are paying a lot of money for tuition fees it is quite annoying, especially given that this is not the first strike.
"But if I was in their position I would probably be going on strike as well. I can see why they are doing it."
Lisa's course mate Katie Ozman, 21, added: "My mum is a teacher so I know the hard work that people in that profession do.
"If she wasn't then I may think they should just get on with it. But they are doing the right thing."
The lecturers believe they should receive a bigger pay rise, given that the cost of living is going up much quicker.
Picket lines were manned at Nottingham Trent's city and Clifton campuses, as well as the University of Nottingham's University Park and Jubilee sites.
At Trent's city site, the protestors held placards, saying: "The money is there, where's our share?"
Union branch secretary Patrick Connellan, an art and design lecturer at Trent, said: "The pay rise offer is not enough and we will continue this action if talks aren't held."
His University of Nottingham counterpart Howard Stevenson added: "We have had a lot of support from students. We don't want them to miss their lectures but we feel we have no choice."
The union has said further action could include more strikes and a marking boycott.
A spokesman for Nottingham Trent University said disruption was kept to a minimum.
He added: "The university's policy on part-day strikes, which is underpinned by legal advice, has always been to deduct a full day's pay for partial performance. This approach, to what is in effect a breach of the contract of employment, is being followed by around 50 other universities.
"In addition to the one per cent pay offer that has already been paid in December, over half of our employees also received an automatic increment increase worth three per cent in 2013."

Somethings not right with the story. Why wouldn't Payton and Vitt just obtain a perscription? Anyone with insurance can go to the doctor, complain about muscle or joint pain and receive painkillers. It's really not that difficult.
This whole story is rediculous. I mean we're talking a few painkillers here people!
well written indeed, nice piece Pete
This article is worthless
There's no need to be worried or bash our secondary yet. We had Gay and Jason David playing for most of the game. David will not be playing with the starting unit come the Detroit game. Porter and Greer will be our CB's. And Gay will be demoted to a dime, nickel at best.
And did anyone see Jenkins play last night? There are NO comments on his play in here! The man played straight up, physical football, was in his opponents face on every play. The one time they did throw his way, he forces a turnover. Jenkins will compete for a starting job before you know it.
i hate the bears
Sign Sensabaugh
Why is there a lack of updates on Sensabaugh? It would seem like he should be our #1 priority, yet all the talk is about RB's & WR's .
Is he visiting or does he plan on visiting other teams? Has any team given him an offer yet? Is his decision strictly between the Saints and the Jaguars? Is he locked away in his basement so reporters cannot not talk to him?
We're not going to get rid of Karney. You don't get rid of players that were part of a No.1 Offense.....right, Coach?
i like the idea of bringing in fullbacks, theyll probably use him on 3 and 1's. can u imagine this guy with karney as his lead, or vice versa
Defense looks solid, we're attacking the ball and contesting shots more than ever. You can see Daniels is beginning to gel with his teammates and buying into Scott's plan for world domination. It gives the starters a boost of confidence when the bench comes out and not only hold there own, but outperforms.
uptjeff, we know you had the inside info on the gregg williams deal, is there something brewing with wilcox?
Anyone notice how much faster we move up and down the court without Chandler and West in the game? We were more aggressive moving the ball around on offense and containing the inside of the court on defense.
If anyone should be commended, it should be JuJu. He is a catalyst on the court (especially when he's out there with Posey). Even if he makes a bone-headed pass, he's right back in there fighting for the ball, diving all over the place, running up and down the court. It would be nice to see Chandler do that every once in while, instead of complaining to the refs, not getting back on defense. Maybe the song should go "Wake up, Mr. Chandler!"
Please try them as adults. If they were consistently committing robbery, and if there's evidence of this, and now they're committing murder, it means that they will be right back at it again.
They wouldn't have turned themselves in, no doubt, if it was not for the parents. If you let them out, you're indirectly causing more crimes.
uptjeff is a racist. why do people like you even come one here and start stirring things up? the world needs less people like you.
Playcalling? Playcalling?... Who said anything about playcalling?
You're going to have to coach better. THAT is where we're at.

|Veterans To Be Honored In Anaheim On Saturday, Nov. 10
Community is invited to gather at the Anaheim Veterans Monument to honor our military heroes
ANAHEIM, CA - (October 30, 2012) - The City of Anaheim will honor our nation's brave military members on Saturday, Nov. 10 at a Veterans Day celebration in Downtown Anaheim. All are welcome to join Anaheim Mayor Tom Tait and the Anaheim City Council, together with Orange County Fourth District Supervisor Shawn Nelson, at the City's Veterans monument in support and appreciation for all who have served in the military. The ceremony will begin at 10 a.m.
"Our nation's veterans deserve our respect, and I invite the community to join us as we honor those who have selflessly served this great country," said Anaheim Mayor Tom Tait. "We appreciate our veterans, as well as those who are currently serving our nation, for the freedoms we enjoy each day. They are true heroes."
This year's event guest speaker will be Major General (Retired) John S. Harrel. Major General Harrel's active military service began in June of 1975 after receiving his commission as a second lieutenant through the United States Marine Corps Platoon Leaders Course. He progressed through a variety of assignments, and completed his service in the USMC as a company commander at Marine Barracks, NAS Alameda. Major General Harrel transferred to the California Army National Guard in 1980, entering service as S-2, 1st Brigade, 40th Infantry Division, and held positions of progressing responsibility with commands. Major General Harrel's awards and decorations include the Legion of Merit (2 Oak Leaf Clusters); Meritorious Service Medal (3 Oak Leaf Clusters) and the Army Commendation Medal (2 Oak Leaf Clusters); the Kosovo Campaign Medal, and the Ukraine Order of Merit.
The Veterans Day ceremony will include the presentation of colors by the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit from Camp Pendleton. The City of Anaheim adopted the 13th MEU on Oct. 9, 2007 to encourage interaction between the community and military personnel. The Marine Adoption Committee serves as a support system for the 13th MEU and their families at home while the Marines are deployed. The 13th MEU provides community support by participating in local school programs and City special events.
PBS So Cal broadcaster and Marine veteran Ed Arnold will serve as the ceremony emcee. The event will include patriotic music by Anaheim resident and vocalist Lisa Zaradich, music provided by St. Catherine's Academy in Anaheim, and the laying of a memorial wreath at the base of the Veterans Monument.
Following the ceremony, the community is invited to enjoy a Hotdogs for Heroes lunch, compliments of the Anaheim Municipal Employees Association and the Orange County Employees Association, and to meet and thank our veterans. Several military resource booths will also be present on hand to provide resources and information to both veterans and the community.
The Veterans Monument is adjacent to the MUZEO (241 S. Anaheim Blvd.). Anaheim's 9-foot high Veterans Monument was dedicated on Dec. 4, 1999, and designed by Orange County artist Richard Turner. The monument, made from bronze-relief and concrete, depicts all branches of the military from wars of the 20th century. Turner's research in the Anaheim Library led him to include images depicting actual Anaheim residents. The monument is flanked by two fountains, representative of water washing away years of conflict.
In addition to the event, veterans and active military members visiting Downtown Anaheim will receive special discounts and treats at the Center Street Promenade shops and restaurants. The MUZEO is offering free admission to veterans during the Veterans Day weekend (Nov. 10-12) to visit the current exhibit titled, "Spanish Masters: Goya Picasso Dali."
Free public parking is available on Center Street Promenade and at Anaheim City Hall (200 S. Anaheim Blvd.).
The City of Anaheim is committed to supporting its veterans as well as its active military members. In July, the City Council approved the formation of the Anaheim Veterans Working Group to demonstrate the City's appreciation and support of its veterans. The Group includes 22 members, from veteran-based non-profit organizations, active community members, other government jurisdictions and City staff.

In addition to those lofty national accomplishments, Newberry continued to rewrite the Lady Mocs record book throughout the year, setting the all-time digs record with 2,399 over her first three seasons and breaking the single season digs mark for the third straight year.
"I am extremely proud of Lara for being named the CVU Libero of the Year" says
That outstanding year has also led to a number of other prominent awards, including being named Collegiate Volleyball Update's National Player of the Week for October 8-14, 2007 and being chosen as the Southern Conference's Co-Player of the Week for the same time period. The recognition continued in the post season as Newberry was named as the Southern Conference's Libero of the Year and secured a spot as a Second Team All-Conference selection after leading the league in digs per game for the entire season.
In the Southern Conference Tournament she posted some of her most impressive performances, notching 40 digs in a 3-1 opening round victory over Elon before registering 39 digs, including the record breaking 925th of the season, in a narrow 3-2 loss to three-time defending and eventual 2007 champion, College of Charleston in the semifinals. Those performances netted her the second All-Tournament selection of her career.
On the season, Newberry recorded 20 digs or more 27 times, 30 digs or more 10 times and surpassed 40 digs four times. Among those four performances were 45 dig totals against
With one season of eligibility remaining, the Chattanooga native's greatest athletic accomplishment is likely to come midway through the 2008 season as she is only 392 digs away from breaking the NCAA modern era record of 2,791 set by Minnesota's Paula Gentil from 2002-05.
Newberry is the first member of the Lady Mocs to be named Collegiate Volleyball Update's Libero of the Year. The selection was based off of a combination of NCAA season totals and accomplishments as well as a formula that includes totals digs, number of opportunities and receive errors.

Negativity and sarcasm should be saved for other articles.
If any of you have ever witnessed someone dying from cancer, I doubt the jokes and propaganda would be flying so freely.
Gotta agree with the posters referencing the small offensive linemen. Penn State has been in a twenty year habit of recruiting small but athletic linemen. That works great; if you play no one ranked in the Top 25. Poor showing to the end of the season.
Another coach out of the job because the college he coaches for refuses to be realistic about its football team. Illinois will NEVER be a Big 10 power, let alone a national power.
Cancel next season? Are you serious?
Remember this, college football is about money. And by the beginning of next season, you will be amazed at the short term memory loss most people have. At the end of the day, the seats will fill, they'll run from the tunnel and 107,000 will roar. Love it or hate it, it's the truth.
Yeah, the era of mediocrity.
Do you really think that Penn State football will ever again be what it once was? Like it or not, the media and the public lynch mob surrounding this whole sorry ordeal just caused the firing of the man responsible for 99% of the players they do have coming to PSU. Who the hell is going to look at Tom Bradley and say "Yep, let's go. I think we're gonna really be competetive." They're done. Again, I must say, "Thank you" to Jerry Sandusky for ruining a half century of excellence and tradition.
Finally, someone else who gets it! I've been saying that for a week now and believe it or not, outside of the media, most people agree with me. There is definitely a false sense of hatred for JoePa being portrayed in the media. Most people I've personally spoken with, including a few PSU haters, are of the opinion that JoePa was martyred in a desperate attempt to silence public outcry and to satiate the medias' collective appetite for dirt on Joe Paterno.
What's funny about you and those like you is that you assume everything and know absolutely nothing. You spew venom about Joe Paterno and how he was king and blah blah blah. When at the end of the day, you have stated not a single fact. Keep vomitting out your hatred and in the same sentence, prove you know nothing. If everyone in our society practiced the sort of "law" that was practiced in State College and at PSU this week, we would still be burning thirteen-year-old girls alive at the stake.
Let me give you a quote from the movie "The Program" and heed it because it's as true as they come.
-Professor: "This is not a football vocational school, it's an institute of higher learning!"
-Coach: "Yeah, but when was the last time 80,000 people showed to see a kid do a damn chemistry experiment?"
Dumb movie but a completely true comparison. You know why? Money. And Saturday at Beaver Staudium was no different. All you self-righteous crusaders out there that think you just cured cancer by getting Joe Paterno fired, remember this. 107,000 asses in the seats Saturday. Plus merchandise, parking, etc and so forth.
Good luck trying to get rid of the college sports. Especially football. Most of these major college football towns would be non-existent if it wasn't for the football program.
You need to do more reading if you can't find anything comparable to this!
Look up the story on George Emil Banks who, in 1982, shot and killed thirteen people in one morning, including five of his own children. One of whom was a year old. Read, sir, in that report how the one girl had to pull brain matter off of the telephone receiver just so she could pick it up and dial 911.
Read the details of that crime and then you sit there with a straight face and tell me this was as bad.
I'll play Devil's Advocate here. How much will this be worth on ebay in twenty years?
Anyone who is going to be the next head coach at PSU better be someone who never stood next to or spoke to Jerry Sandusky.
Do you really think Jerry Sandusky wouldn't have molested young boys if he hadn't been a Penn State football coach? Because your logic suggests just that. People like you are the ones the board of trustees cowered to in the wake of all this and fired Joe Paterno. I hope your all proud.
And at each stage, other adults dismissed, minimized or failed to act upon those concerns.
And the the most important stage, the only adult blamed for or held responsible for any of it, was Joe Paterno. How convenient.
This firing of Joe Paterno just proves how inept the university is at handling tough situations. You fired a living legend and destroyed his legacy because you ASSUMED he knew more than he claimed.
Since when did the word of the media and some public voices trying to mimic Jesus Christ become more credible than the word of a man who used to suspend players for missing class? Penn State University, the media and most of the pubic involved are a collective group of disgusting human beings that proved nothing more than the fact that they bow to media pressure. Good luck in the future, your multi-billion dollar football program with be D-1AA inside of a decade.
We watched as the media, the public, and the university sacrificed Joe Paterno because they assumed he knew more and they judged him for inaction. Yet, it's acceptable for the man who bore witness to this horrific incident to coach on Saturday. Penn State now makes me sick to my stomach. I will never watch another football game of theirs.
Please for the safety of the rest of man kind, go get fixed. I cannot imagine you being able to contaminate society with one of your offspring.
Get a grip. You people are insane. The entire world isn't going to stop because Jerry Sandusky turned out to be a child stalking lunatic. Do you think people in China tomorrow morning are going to care? Or maybe we should just build a ten foot tall wooden fence around Centre County and burn the whole place to the ground. Would that be satisfactory enough for all of you self-righteous zealots? You people redefine close minded.
@oh god...After reading and being responded to by several members with avatars containing G.W. or Rick Perry or Ronald Reagan, I must honestly say that after being a conservative for my entire voting life, you people have prompted me to re-evaluate my political choices. Never in my life have I heard so much hate spew from the mouths of so-called patriots and God fearing Christians.
@wallynut...Like celticlion2, I'm interested to hear what your name is and what year/position you played.
Its nice to see some of Paterno's former players showing support instead of rushing to rash conclusions.

Related Info
Available options may differ from photo.
Design by Alberto Meda and Paolo Rizzatto, 1985.
The Berenice Floor Lamp is the ideal and discreet companion to people wanting to rest. It is the inimitable founding product of a new type range of reasonably small sprung-jointed lamps. The fluid articulation of its movements and its perfect stability make Berenice the light that can be moved around without occupying valuable space and with the least trouble.
Berenice operates with a transformer that allows low voltage power to reach the bulb through the rods without electrical cable, thus leaving its figure slender and elegant. Thanks to a special spacer fitted into the lower part of the head, the light can be brought very close to whatever needs to be illuminated, while maintaining the proper distance from objects. A simple touch of the head ring, which is well insulated and independent from the bulb housing, will also orient the light in any direction.

Re: Joey Jordison
I cant believe that people on this post are saying that Joey is a horrible drummer. Im just stunned and i cant figure out whether its people who dislike slipknot being bias or if it is serious. I dont care if you dont like slipknot and i can totally understand that, but for people to say that Joey isnt a good drummer is just a complete joke. Listen to any of the drumming in their songs carefully and it is completly amazing. For the others that say he only does drum rolls and is a crowd pleaser, what do you expect? For his style of music it is what sounds best, so why would he put in a jazz beat into a song that is completely over the top with vocals and hardcore guitar. If you dont like slipknot that is fine, but ignorent assumptions about the way Joey plays is just stupid because he plays the way he should.

YARMOUTH — In the closely watched Senate District 11 race, incumbent Sen. Dick Woodbury, U-Yarmouth, pushed past Republican Chris Tyll early Wednesday to win in one of the most expensive races in the state.
Woodbury beat Tyll with a vote of 13,011 to 11,666.
This will be Woodbury's second term in the senate after winning an election in 2010 , unseating Sen. Gerald Davis, R-Falmouth. He also served in the House of Representatives from 2002-2008.
Tyll, whose campaign spent more than $72,000 on the election, compared to Woodbury's $11,400, would have been serving his first term for elected office.

The Pursuit of Money Over Personal Satisfaction
By: Tom Chatham
Have you ever asked a person why they work? If you have the answer will likely end with a statement that they need to pay for stuff. It's a truism in the world we live in that you must pay for many of the things we need. Its this need to pay for more and more stuff that leads to the need for higher paying jobs.
This perceived need leads many to seek jobs they do not necessarily like but need to achieve this end result. The race for the almighty buck has many unintended consequences. It has been said that if you do not like your work, you will not like anything else about your life.
The pursuit of money leaves many people with a hollow void that is never filled and causes them to lash out at society in their discomfort. This is seen in the many cases of domestic abuse, road rage and general lack of politeness in society. In many cases the more the person makes, the more likely you are to see these traits.
What is missing in many peoples lives is the personal satisfaction they get from the feeling of accomplishment of something every day. The more personal satisfaction a person gets out of life, the more likely they are to be a happy person and in turn treat others with respect. This also helps to insure a healthy life that avoids many of the ailments that come with having a foul mood most of the day.
The feeling of accomplishment can come from very little things such as building or repairing something. Some of my most cherished accomplishments are things I did for free. Knowing I did something that had some value and served a purpose meant a lot to me personally. Doing that and making some money at the same time is just icing on the cake.
This is something many people in our fast moving world miss out on and it can cost them in the end. As society gets faster and money becomes the primary commodity in life, people can lose their self worth and determination. This is evident when something happens and they suddenly have no money to continue their current lifestyle. Money has replaced personal satisfaction as the cement that holds society together. When the money supply finally gives out, society will fall apart.
Having money is great because it allows you to do many things you could not do otherwise but it should not be the foundation of your existence. How many people have gotten divorced because of monetary problems? How many people have refused to get involved with someone else because they did not meet up to their monetary expectations?
Money has become all too important in society and when it goes away during economic crisis society cannot handle it. If you have a spouse that just says, don't worry we can manage, after you have lost your job and have very little money to live on then they get it. They are saying their personal happiness does not depend on money to give them the personal satisfaction in life that they require.
This is the missing ingredient that the American society needs to get through the trying times ahead and we no longer have it. If we do not find it soon, the days ahead will be very miserable and very destructive as society tears itself apart searching to fill the void left by the destruction of money. When you can go day to day without money and feel happy about life, you are at a place that will allow you to get through most bad events in the right frame of mind. That frame of mind is what you need to solve the problems at hand and move on with your life. The lack of it will cause us to self destruct.
Disposing of the Useful Idiots
By: Tom Chatham
There have been a lot of wild stories floating around about FEMA coffins, rail cars with shackles and guillotines. DHS is buying billions of rounds of ammo and thousands of rifles and pistols and armored vehicles, enough to arm a small army. The speculation is that all of this is to take out the patriots in society that will defend the constitution. Let's explore that scenario for a minute.
The current government is without a doubt transforming this nation from a prosperous capitalist nation to a poor third world nation at breakneck speed. The reigns of power have been seized and control is almost complete. Once the bankers and corporations have extracted all of the wealth that can be had, they will move on to greener pastures and what is left of the U.S. will be left to the sociopaths that want to continue their social experiments in failed ideologies.
The final hurdle they will have to navigate will be the heavily armed partisans in this country that like things the way they used to be. That is what some of the weapons and ammo are for. These few million hardcore American patriots will have to be hunted down and destroyed before the real social engineering can begin. Most of these people will have to be killed outright because they will refuse to live under a dictatorship and will refuse to play nice.
That leaves three groups in the former U.S., the ruling oligarchy, the remaining working class and the useful idiots. The useful idiots made themselves useful by allowing the oligarchs to buy their votes. This allowed the rulers to attain power and change the nation as it is. Once the oligarchs have seized complete power, they will no longer need to buy votes, so what will happen to the useful idiots? In a socialist system everyone has to work to produce for the State. The useful idiots in this nation do not work, do not want to work and do nothing but consume production from the working class. It was ok to provide for them when the working class was footing the bill but once all of the production belongs to the State that will have to stop. The State will want to keep as much of the production for itself as is possible because they feel they deserve it because they are superior to the masses and it will also be very profitable for them.
When the breakdown finally comes, the useful idiots will likely be the ones loaded onto railcars and disposed of in the coffins. These people cannot take care of themselves and when the state ceases providing them with the goods they need and want they will riot. Most of these people live in the cities and they will be the first places to become unruly when the goods stop flowing. These are the first places the rulers will have to pacify before they can move on to the productive rural areas of the country.
If you are a dictator, and you now have complete authority over the populace, who are you more likely to want to keep alive, people that consume a lot and produce nothing or those that produce everything and will obey you. That seems pretty self evident. The patriots will have to be eliminated because they want to destroy the rulers and the useful idiots will have to be destroyed because they contribute nothing useful to the country.
One of the wild cards in this soon to be event is the involvement of the Muslim Brotherhood and their surrogates in this country that have infiltrated the government with the idea of turning the U.S. into another Muslim country. For more information on this element see our previous article Enemies Foreign and Domestic. These forces will turn on the radical left wing that seeks control and attempt to dispose of them as well at some point. There may be many factions fighting in this country in the near future with many different goals so there will be no shortage of interesting times. Based on historical precedent, this crisis could start at any time but should be at its' height around 2020 and wind down by 2025 so you might want to make your plans for self preservation based on that time line.
Right now the battle is being fought in the temples so those most dedicated to their cause will probably win. Those with the least dedication that seek the easy way through life will likely not see the conclusion of this struggle. In the end, many will either die on their feet as free men or on their knees as slaves. How you choose to live or die in the future will be your legacy.
The main problem the rulers will have is the fact that the patriots will not give up easily. While the rulers and their surrogates will be fighting for conquest and control, the patriots will be fighting for their very lives and that of their families. The government forces will hold back due to fear of dieing while the patriots will hold back nothing because at that point they will have nothing to lose but their lives and everything to gain by winning. This is one of the elements that will decide the outcome of the coming conflict. Will someone fight harder for a paycheck or for freedom and their way of life? In any event, the patriots can be assured of one thing, that the useful idiots will be dispatched before the fighting ends.

By Samantha L. QuigleyAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16, 2005 Operation Gratitude hits a significant milestone Dec. 17 when the organization assembles its 100,000th care package to ship to a lucky servicemember as part of its holiday drive.
Operation Gratitude has lifted the morale of tens of thousands of deployed troops since Carolyn Blashek founded the organization in March 2003.
The recipient of the milestone package will receive NASCAR tickets courtesy of Checkers/Rally's restaurants, which also is providing free food for a year, Blashek said. Stays at the San Francisco Hilton, the choice of a package from Harrah's or Harveys at Lake Tahoe, Nev., as well as a digital camera also will be in the milestone package.
"We'll also include some of the regular items that would go into any package," Blashek said, referring to goodies that range from DVDs and phone cards to snacks.
Volunteers will gather at the California National Guard Armory in Van Nuys on Dec. 17 and 18 to assemble 10,000 to 12,000 holiday care packages, she said. At the end of Dec. 18, volunteers will have assembled 38,000 packages during the 2005 holiday drive that began Oct. 15.
Blashek is anticipating a lot of excitement surrounding the expected assembly of the 100,000th package, as the 50 corporate sponsors who provide some of the care package items in bulk have been invited to attend.
"We're using the occasion not just to highlight what we do overall, but really to also thank the very many volunteers, supporters and, particularly, corporate sponsors that have enabled us to reach this milestone," she said. "Really, we could not have accomplished this without (them)."
But all the hoopla aside, it's all about the troops, Blashek emphasized.
"(Servicemembers) expect to receive support from their families. It's a total surprise to receive it from complete strangers," she said. "It reaffirms for them why they do what they do. We hope when they open up that package (they find) the energy and love that's gone into it."
Blashek anticipates assembling the 150,000th package during Operation Gratitude's "patriotic drive" in 2006, which begins Memorial Day weekend and continues into the summer.
To date, Operation Gratitude has delivered more than 98,000 packages to American troops serving in some of the world's harshest conditions, Blashek said. It is funded entirely by private donations and staffed exclusively by volunteers.

The Uruguay international has opened the door to a summer transfer after five years in Italy.
He helped Palermo secure promotion back to Serie A in 2013/14 and claims to have been assured that he would be allowed to leave if top flight competition was returned to Sicily.
Portuguese champions Benfica were among the first to express an interest, with a formal bid tabled.
Hernandez has, however, spurned their advances as he waits on other offers.
Sunderland are among those to have been linked with an approach for the 24-year-old and he will wait to see what the final days of the transfer window bring.
Hernandez told tuttomercatoweb.com: "I thank Benfica and their president but I prefer to wait for another chance in a different league.
"My future? (Palermo president, Maurizio) Zamparini said to me that after promotion to Serie A he would let me go.
"Let's see what happens. I won't rule out staying here."
