This is a project to try and build a reasonably priced, reasonably functional, freeze drying machine at home.
- UPDATE(11/15/12): I got a bit burned out and ADHD-ed away from this project for a while to work on other stuff. I'm getting back into it now and resuming work, so more info and progress should be forthcoming soon.
Commercially available freeze drying units, even relatively small ones, are really expensive. We're talking in the thousands of dollars. This got me to thinking. In theory at least, the physics behind freeze drying and how it works aren't terribly complicated, so I figure I'll give a crack at making a decent one from scratch and save myself a few thousand bucks, and if it works other people on the internet will be able to follow my instructions and build one for themselves as well.
Acquire Vacuum Pump
- Found a vacuum pump on sale at harbor freight for $110. It pumps 3cfm and is rated to pull a vacuum down to 3 Pascal. I believe it is supposed to be used to pull a vacuum to clean out AC systems and refrigeration coils.
Vacuum Pump and Connector System Prototype
- The vacuum pump I got has 2 input ports: 1/4" SAE & 1/2" Acme. Finding stuff to fit these decently was a giant pain in the rear, but I've finally managed to get a setup that is tightly sealed, readily available, and not too expensive.
- Go to the plumping section in Lowes (or where ever) and get 1/4" polyethylene tubing. It's milky white, the same size as fish tank tubing, and about $2 for a 25' coil. You'll also want to get the 1/4" brass compression connectors that fit it. I've found that with good use of teflon thread tape the 1/4" female connector will fit pretty well on the 1/2" Acme connector of the vacuum pump. Don't ask me why, the people that categorize hardware just pick whatever measurements they feel like using to describe stuff, it seems. Probably the same people that decided that 2x4 planks would be 1.5"x3.5".
- Anyways, at minimum you're going to need these connectors:
- 1x 1/4" FIP to compression
- 2x T-shaped compression-compression valve
- 1x T-shaped 3 way compression coupling
- Use thread tape and screw the female adapter onto the vacuum pump.
- Then use tubing to connect that to the first T valve
- This first valve is your main flow control valve. You need it so you can seal off the system after you've pulled a vacuum. If you don't have it, then once you turn the vacuum pump off the vacuum in the chamber starts pulling air backwards through the pump. This degrades your vacuum pretty quickly, but even worse it can pull oil from the compressor trough the lines and contaminate your entire system. I found that one out the hard way. It is not fun.
- Your order of operations should be:
- Turn on pump
- Open Valve
- Pull vacuum
- Close valve
- Turn off pump
- Connect that to the T splitter
- One end of the T splitter should connect to the second T Valve
- This second valve is your release valve and just connects to the open air. You need it to let air back into the vacuum chamber once you're done. Other wise you have to try and pry the lid off, and 14.7 psi makes that really difficult in most cases.
- The other connection on the T splitter is the main line that runs to the vacuum chamber
Vacuum Chamber Prototype, Proof of Concept

Next Steps
Vacuum Chamber Construction
It may be overkill, but I'm thinking of using a 1/2" sheet of Polycarbonate (Lexan) from eStreetPlastics for the door. With more careful analysis and design I could probably use a thinner sheet, but I've never built a vacuum chamber before so I'm overdesigning the crap out of this one. Also, you could skip this material altogether and just use the side of the pressure vessel that you cut off as the door, but I want to be able to see into the chamber.
I chose polycarbonate (Lexan) over acrylic (Plexiglass) because the polycarbonate is much stronger, more resilient, and has a higher working temperature.
- Melting temperature (Tm) 267 °C*
- Glass transition temperature(Tg) 150 °C
- Upper working temperature 115–130 °C
- Lower working temperature −40 °C
- Young's modulus (E) 2.0–2.4 GPa
- Tensile strength (σt) 55–75 MPa
- Compressive strength (σc) >80 MPa
- Elongation (ε) @ break 80–150%
- Poisson's ratio (ν) 0.37
Chamber Body
After some consideration, I'm thinking of using some sort of pre-constructed pressure vessel as the body of the vacuum chamber. Something like a propane tank, or a compressed air tank. My reasoning is that, at least for medium scale, if something is designed to hold 140 psi positive pressure, then it should maybe probably be able to hold 14.7 psi negative pressure. Yeah yeah yeah, I know that the structural design for the two things is not exactly the same, but I'm building in a factor of safety of nearly 10x, so I'm modestly confident that this won't implode.
I'm thinking that an old 10 to 20 gallon auxiliary compressed air tank will be a good place to start with this design. My plan is to use a torch, plasma cutter, or angle grinder cutoff wheel to cut off one end(one of the rounded ends). That will leave a round, flat opening on that end. I'll then weld on some sort of flange, add some sort of o-ring / seal, and then the Lexan door should just sit flush against it.
Vapor Deposition Cryo-coils/Condenser Plates?
Still looking into this to see if it's really necessary
- UPDATE(2/28/12): After playing with the prototype mason jar vacuum chamber I have concluded that this element will, in fact, be necessary. Even doing small slices of apple, the water vapor destroys the vacuum completely in less than 10 minutes. So unless I want to run the vacuum pump continuously, I'm going to have to put in Vapor Deposition Cryocoils.
- I need to do some more research on this subject, but initially I'm thinking that pulling the coils out of a mini fridge, portable/mini freezer, window A/C unit, or something like that might do the job.
- May have to consult with a HVAC professional about cutting & reattaching the lines, since I'll need some way to get them through the wall of the vacuum chamber.
- Might could just make notches at the seal to do this more easily.
- I need to do some more research on this subject, but initially I'm thinking that pulling the coils out of a mini fridge, portable/mini freezer, window A/C unit, or something like that might do the job.
- UPDATE(2/29/12): I'm very optimistic now that the refrigeration coils from a standard chest freezer should be sufficient for this task. The information I'm finding on the web indicates that the coils themselves can easily achieve temperatures around -25°C (~248°K) under normal operation. If you look at the phase diagram above you'll see that at -25°C water would be solid phase at any pressure above about 60 Pascal. This gives the system a pretty decent operating range for pressures (~60Pa - 611.73Pa) without requiring any specialized cryogenic equipment.
- Below about 60 Pascal the water vapor in the chamber would not be able to collect and freeze on the -25°C coils. It would instead just accumulate as vapor in the chamber, raising the pressure until it was high enough for water molecules to freeze as ice on the coils. This freezing would in turn lower the pressure, meaning that there should be a stable equilibrium pressure of ~60Pa ideally. That's an ideal scenario that assumes that there's nothing in the chamber but water vapor. In practice the equilibrium pressure will probably be a skooch higher.
- Above 611.73Pa ice will no longer sublimate, but will start going through the water phase again.
- UPDATE(11/15/12): I'm still fairly confident that refrigeration coils will, in principle, do the job. It does, however, seem like their use may be a bit too complicated, at least for a first time, low budget, small scale build. I've recently been tipped off by someone that silica desiccant crystals may provide a much easier alternative. Putting a tray of silica crystals in the bottom of the vacuum chamber would be much cheaper and simpler than trying to run the tubes for a set of refrigeration coils into and out of the vacuum chamber (and pressure sealing those holes). Also, once the silica crystals have absorbed their limit of moisture, they can simply be baked in the oven to remove that moisture, allowing for constant reuse. The only problem I foresee is that I do not know how they behave in low pressure environments and if at that pressure they will still be able to absorb moisture, and do so at a sufficient rate to maintain the vacuum. I'll need do some research to verify that they will work for this application, but for the moment it seems very promising. Also, I plan on going ahead and ordering some silica crystals so I can do some hands on experiments.
- Apparently "Fresh Step Crystal Kitty Litter" is supposed to be 100% silica gel, so I'm thinking this will be a nice cheap, low grade source for early experiments.

Hood College freshmen will have an opportunity to pilot one new academic program while continuing two others as they start the 2012-13 school year.
The class of 2016 will be Hood's first to participate in the first- year seminar program, which consists of 13 different seminar courses offered to only first-year students.
Freshmen also received iPads, extending Hood's initiative to integrate the technology into the classroom, and the college will continue its first-year read program, which brings a well-known author to campus.
Hood Provost Kate Conway-Turner said first-year seminars are being offered in a variety of subjects ranging from computer science to history to psychology, but they are interdisciplinary to expose students to one subject from a variety of perspectives.
Seminars are designed to engage first-year students with a strong writing discipline and encourage them to think critically.
"We want to have students thinking in an analytical way," she said.
Conway-Turner said Hood noticed a theme across the best liberal arts campuses was to offer a first-year seminar program.
Sue Carney, chairwoman of the first-year seminar committee, said the pilot is intended to help students improve their writing and become engaged on campus from day one.
Carney, an assistant professor of biology at Hood, said classes will be limited to 15 students, offering them a chance to get to know Hood's faculty.
The seminar pilot is scheduled to last three years, with the committee looking for evidence of students becoming better writers and excelling in later courses.
"We're going to use the data, and hopefully, it will tell us if these classes are making an impact," she said.
The three-credit seminar program is not mandatory this year — it's only strongly encouraged.
Although it is not mandatory, Conway-Turner said students have flocked to these classes with more than 200 of the 275 incoming freshmen signed up.
iPad initiative
For the second year in a row, every Hood freshman has received an iPad, and Conway-Turner said the college is expected to make a decision by the end of this semester on whether to continue the program.
iPads for the class of 2016 were funded through a gift to the college, she said.
An indication that the college is further preparing to move in the direction of more iPads is an opportunity for some upper classmen to receive iPads this year.
According to Conway-Turner, upper classmen in specific courses such as calculus will be loaned an iPad for the semester.
"They will be in a really good position because they'll be taking more advanced courses to give me a good sense of how we can utilize iPads in upper division courses as well," she said.
Hood plans to use faculty and student surveys to help make its decision about whether to continue giving iPads to students.
The main reason that Hood is exploring the iPad option is because technology is here to stay, and students are coming to the college from schools that already use iPads in class, Conway-Turner said.
"We really are wanting to make sure that we're prepared and on the cutting edge to receive students using the kind of technology that they will become accustomed to," she said.
Hood freshmen received their iPads during summer orientation and have already had the opportunity to put them to use.
The college is continuing its first-year read program that began last year. It requires all incoming freshmen to read a book selected by a committee of faculty and students before they arrive on campus.
Instead of picking up a physical copy of the book, students were able to download it to their iPads, according to Conway-Turner.
Students will be asked throughout the fall semester to participate in group and panel discussions about the book and watch movies that relate to the book's themes before the author visits at the end of the semester.
This year's selection is "Factory Girls" by journalist Leslie T. Chang. It describes everyday life for factory workers in China in the early 2000s.
Conway-Turner said Hood chose the book because of its timeliness with the phenomena and troubles of megafactories in China.
It also appeals to a range of students, whether they're interested in history, psychology, social work or technology, she said.
The purpose of the program is to extend student perspectives outside of what they already know, and the reality of working in one of these megafactories is hard for students to imagine, Conway-Turner said.
"The book very much pushes our students to think about something that is very, very different than what they would normally have experience with," she said.
The red carpet gleamed with sparkly metallics and shiny, futuristic-looking fabrics. See photos from this year's Met Gala.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) -- Attorneys for the Colorado movie theater shooting suspect plan to subpoena a journalist who was the first to report that James Holmes sent his psychiatrist a notebook full of violent descriptions.
The attorneys made the statement toward the end of a court hearing Monday after nine different law enforcement officials denied being the ones to tell reporter Jana Winter about the notebook. The defense argues the disclosure was a violation of a gag order in the case and is seeking sanctions against the leaker.
After authorities seized a package from Holmes in the mailroom of the University of Colorado, Winter reported that it contained a notebook with violent descriptions of a possible attack.
Winter did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

Great companion for LED or stand alone Review by pk-sd
Product Rating:
Great light. Solid built. I am using two 48" fixtures to supplement my Vertex illumina LED light. I love how this light has transformed my tank. Its now lit from edge to edge. I am seeing things in my tank that I did not know existed. All my corals, from mushrooms at the bottom to the SPS on top are loving this light. Now I am going to buy one more fixture for my frag tank. (Posted on 5/28/2015)

LONDON (AP) - J.K. Rowling's world of wizardry is coming back to the big screen - but without Harry Potter.
Studio Warner Bros. announced Thursday that Rowling will write the screenplay for a movie based on "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," her textbook about the magical universe she created in the Potter stories.
The story will focus on the book's fictitious author, Newt Scamander, and is anticipated to be the first in a series.
Rowling said in a statement the movie "is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world."
She said the story would begin in New York 70 years before the start of Harry Potter's tale.
Warner Bros. was behind eight Harry Potter movies released between 2001 and 2011.

NEW YORK (AP) - First-time dad Nick Lachey knows all about rocking a baby to sleep. Now he wants to help other kids get their rest.
His new album, "A Father's Lullaby," will be released in a few weeks. It features 12 songs, including classics like "You Are My Sunshine" and "Brahms Lullaby." The album also features four original tracks that Lachey co-wrote, inspired by his own baby.
The 39-year-old singer and his wife, TV personality Vanessa Lachey, welcomed their son, Camden, last September.
"A Father's Lullaby" will be available on iTunes and Amazon on March 13. It will be in stores in April.
Lachey will release a new album, "2.0," in May with his group, 98 Degrees.
"A Father's Lullaby" is a partnership with Fisher-Price Inc., a subsidiary of Mattel and Mood Entertainment.

The Good Old Days? Women's Daily Lives Historic Sites In The Washington, Dc Area
In books and movies the lifestyles of middle to upper class women from the past are often portrayed in an idealistic, nostalgic manner. In reality, women had far fewer political or social rights than today and lived more physically demanding lives. Seeing the physical spaces used by women in previous centuries shows that the glamour associated with the past was only accurate for the wealthiest individuals and that even well-to-do women had to perform many difficult chores to run their households.
In the Washington D.C. area there are numerous museums and historical homes where visitors can learn about and imagine what life was really like for women in different time periods of American history. Those who visit the following exhibitions and historic sites will leave with a greater appreciation of "women's work," modern conveniences, and may consider that the past was not as easy for women as movies and books may make it appear.

Thursday night (January 31st), SVA hosted the New York Fashion Film Festival, in which top picks from a collection of shorts produced throughout 2012 were shown on the big screen. V watched and picked our own favorites from the 22 films presented (click the arrows to watch). Here we see the rich "A Therapy" by Roman Polanski, a grungey dialogue accompanying a Raf Simons collection, a watermarked Dis/Marco Rosso production, Inez & Vinoodh's creepy Nina Ricci, Steven Meisel's fetish foray, Danny Sangra's LOL over-edit, and a comedy of errors by Monica Menez. All the films shown were stunning, and will be listed at the festival's website, along with last year's winners.
The panel discusion aftwerward included fashion film producer Maria Gallagher, fashion filmmaker/illustrator Quentin Jones, and fashion writer Glenn O'Brien.
"Films that take themselves too seriously are the camp of the future," O'Brien announced.
"Fashion has always in a way been about having a sense of irony," said Gallagher, to which O'Brien replied, "That's its redeeming quality."
The discussion touched on topics all fashion students (especially those in the brand new Fashion Photography master's program at SVA) should be aware of: what makes a film good, what in a film sells clothes, and where lies the perfect balance between the two. The answer: No one knows until it happens. That's why these films are more than just pretty—they're smart. Because in fashion, more than in any other art form perhaps, the question isn't what it is, but what it will be.

- Colorado Rockies 2013 pitching staff must win some arms races

- Colorado Rockies' 2013 lineup includes potential, challenges

- True Grit: Walt Weiss will be demanding as Rockies' new manager
- Nov 9:
- Rockies live blog: Walt Weiss news conference
- New Rockies manager Walt Weiss quietly secure with one-year deal
- Nov 8:
- Rockies' Helton, Tulowitzki like intensity of new manager Walt Weiss
A very businesslike and confident Walt Weiss was officially introduced as the new manager of the Rockies on Friday at Coors Field.
Weiss, 48, has never managed in the big leagues, but he vowed to get the Rockies back on track.
"The bottom line, we've got to win games," he said during opening remarks to select season-ticket holders and the media. "As a player, that's what I love about the game. It's a bottom-line business; it's all about W's. We line up and take our best shot every day, from top to bottom.
"I have very strong convictions about how the game should be played. I will communicate that to our guys."
The Rockies went 64-98 this past season, the worst record in franchise history. Weiss vowed he would stress fundamentals and "playing the game the right way."
His road map comes from those men he played for during his 14-year big-league career — the Oakland A's Tony La Russa, the Florida Marlins' Rene Lachemann, the Rockies' Don Baylor and the Atlanta Braves' Bobby Cox. Those men molded Weiss into someone who wowed the Rockies' front office during the interview process, when he went from longshot candidate most recently coaching at Regis Jesuit High School to the favorite. Though Weiss has been away from the majors since 2002, his knowledge of the game and confidence won him the job.
"We were sitting and discussing very difficult and complex issues as a major-league manager and how we'd deal with players," said Bill Geivett, the Rockies' senior vice president of major-league operations. "With the questions coming at him, to watch him think and respond, you'd really think more along the lines of being with a more experienced major-league manager.
"And I think he really understood the complex issues of the clubhouse. It was very, very striking."
Weiss broke into the big leagues under La Russa and was named American League rookie of the year in 1988. As a rookie manager, Weiss said he will once again rely on the lessons he learned from La Russa, who managed 5,097 regular-season games over 33 seasons, won three World Series and six pennants.
"I was young and impressionable when I came into the league, but still to this day, a lot of how I see the game is through him," Weiss said. "He was a really unique competitor. I learned the game from Tony. A lot of the way I see the game is through his eyes. He had a huge impact on me."
La Russa was known as a forceful, intense manager who got his teams to play hard to the final out. With reliever Dennis Eckersley in Oakland, La Russa refined the way a closer was used. He examined pitching matchups like a scientist.
La Russa loved having super utility players such as Mike Gallego of the A's and Aaron Miles of the Cardinals. He utilized his entire roster. He left no advantage sitting in the dugout.
Cox won 14 division titles with the Braves, and Weiss played on three of those teams with a much different style than La Russa. From Cox, Weiss learned about team chemistry.
"Bobby was the best I've ever been around in the game at creating loyalty amongst the club — nobody better," Weiss said. "You don't walk in on Day One and have that kind of impact like Bobby Cox, obviously. But there is a blueprint for me there on how to deal with players, and how to get that love and respect. And how to get players to care for each other."
Patrick Saunders: 303-954-1428, email@example.com or twitter.com/psaundersdp
Walt Weiss' take ...
... on his one-year contract
"If you don't do the job, you are gone. It's a bottom- line business, so (the contract) is of no concern for me. I have to go out and do the job."
... On playing at HIGH altitude
"I believe you have to be tougher and you have to be smarter to play here. That could be a badge of honor, but you have to be smart, too."
... On his immediate goals
"My goal will be to personalize my relationship with the players. It's all about respect and trust, so that will be a big first step for me."

Johnny Hartman (1923-1983) was a distinguished vocalist who is best remembered for his recordings of romantic ballads. Born and raised in Chicago, John Maurice Hartman began studying voice and piano at the age of eight, sang in his church choir and for his high school glee club, and won a scholarship to study voice at the Chicago Musical College. After serving in the army in World War II, Hartman returned home where he won an amateur singing contest which led him into a professional singing career, working with pianist and bandleader Earl "Fatha" Hines. In 1949, when Hines' band folded, Hartman was recruited to sing with jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie; their collaboration was memorable because of the contrast between Gillespie's 'hot' trumpet playing and Hartman's smooth 'cool' baritone voice. Hartman sang briefly with the pianist Errol Garner and his trio.

This new model in the Les Classiques Collection is subtlety itself. With its scaled-down dimensions, attractive touches of refinement and simple curves, here is a watch that is ideally equipped to stand the test of time with equanimity. Their design is timeless in shape, structure and spirit. No embellishment has been allowed to mar the strikingly pure surfaces of these watches. They have brilliant black or polished silver-plated dials, while their stainless steel cases have the option of either a two-tone or a gold plated bezel so as to highlight their 38 mm diameters. All the while, the hours go whizzing round as though running away from their own shadows under the watchful eye of the date display at 6 o'clock.
The Day/Date model's dial is topped off at 12 o'clock by a curved aperture showing the day of the week. The Les Classiques Day/Date comes in a variety of finishes for their cases, dials and straps or bracelets, while in their inner workings a quartz movement beats with regularity and precision. They bear witness to the great verve shown by Maurice Lacroix's designers and engineers in finding a formula to revamp the collection while at the same time remaining faithful to its intrinsic personality. Their exceptionally competitive approach responds to the expectations of a clientele that favors elegant simplicity rather than ostentatious sophistication.
Fill up this form to join the Maurice Lacroix Club easily and freely.

Now, I know you crazy kids are always with the Facebooking, the Liking and the clicking and the linking. I suppose it's time for ole Alteil to see what it can do to Book a little Face. So, I'm going to request that you give the main Alteil America facebook page a SHARE (click on the button to the right of 'like' on Facebook and hit - share) to see how hard it is to get these darned 'share' things and what kind of effect they have on our trafficking.
I guess this means I should be giving out a gift, one of those 'social media presents' I keep hearing about (yeah, I know that was unacceptable, even for me -- and I'm totally sure I'm the first person to come up with that). So, if we get 15 users giving the Alteil America facebook page a share by the end of next week, I'll put a couple of the WINTER AVATAR ACCESSORIES up in the Avatar shop for free for the day!
So you kids all scuttle on back to your FAcebooks and your Twits, and GET OFF MY LAWN!
PS -- in case you didn't know, you can link your Alteil account to your Facebook or Twitter or Google account by going to Account Management from the login screen.

The U.S. military's departure from Iraqi soil has left the city of Greensboro, N.C. with a sad distinction: It was home to the last U.S. soldier to die fighting in that war.
David Emanuel Hickman was killed on Nov. 14 in Baghdad, when a homemade bomb exploded during a patrol by his unit. The 23-year-old soldier was buried last month after a large ceremony packed with family and friends.
The final U.S. death toll from nearly nine years of war is 4,487 killed. More than 32,000 were wounded during the war, which began in 2003 and toppled the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein.
Logan Trainum, a friend of Hickman's, spoke with the soldier a week before he died, and says Hickman was looking forward to coming home.

Security tag was still attached when the bib was received. I'm sure it was an accident, but it's frustrating not being able to use something. Haven't found a Lids store that can take it off yet. Hoping the big one in Nashville can. We will see the next time we're down that way. I'm sure the bib is fine however. It just has that stupid magnetic security tag still on it!

Within a naan's hurl of Oxford Street, Roti Chai deserved more custom on a midweek lunchtime. Not that the lucky office workers (some Indian, most not) who had discovered it down this little mews street were complaining.
The ground-floor 'street kitchen', with its utilitarian furniture and canteen vibe, is ideal for a swift midday feed – and the alert young multinational staff keep things pacy. The menu is modelled on those of urban India's snack shacks, so you'll find bhel pooris, samosas and a big portion of moist, light Gujarati dhokra sponge, topped with two relishes: tangy tamarind and spicy coconut (share one between two for a starter).
Larger dishes include 'railway lamb curry' with beautifully tender meat and potato in a rich gravy spiced with star anise and cinnamon bark, served with two wholemeal chapatis. Soupy tarka dahl was similarly full-flavoured.
In the basement, the newly opened, evening-only 'dining room' is a darker, sexier space. Here, prices rise considerably, with chettinad chicken costing £15.50 – not that the street kitchen is giveaway-cheap. Dhokra, lamb curry, dahl and a pot of lovely, rich leaf tea cost £23 with service, but such a lunch would have workers singing through the afternoon.

New Games Room!

The ratios were messed up when the new design first came out, but TNT managed to fix it a day after.
Ontopic, I voted for "It's okay". I am going to miss the recent games played bar from the old games room.

I think this is, for the most part, a great update, especially because of the new graphical interface it adds. Now, the Games Room, for the most part, looks and feels like an actual Games Room. The old one was dull, lifeless, and rather boring, where as this one, while not particularly bright and colorful, does a good job of setting up an atmosphere. Not to mention, it barely lags at all.
Scores Galore week never hurt, either. Some people may complain, but I know that there have been times when it's been worse. Remember the 10th Birthday celebration?

I really like the new clean looks, and the small new additional features where you can toggle the quality or the size!
It really can come in handy for certain games c:
Plus, my internet is quite slow, so I am really happy that I can have the option to play games in Low-quality.

SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - South Portland police are looking for those responsible for an armed robbery at the Olde English Village apartment complex on Westbrook Street.
Police say just before 10 Saturday night, two men threatened a pizza delivery driver who was meeting with someone he thought was a customer. One man was armed with a knife, the other with a handgun. The two took off toward Westbrook Street with the pizza and an undisclosed amount of money. The alleged customer ran off in the same direction, and police believe he was involved in the robbery setup.
The suspects are described as black men in their early 20s. Two are around 5 feet, 7 inches, thin build, each wearing red bandanas over their faces, with black hooded sweatshirts and black pants. The third suspect is described as a black male, 20 years old, 5 feet, 5 inches, 120 pounds with "very crooked front teeth."
If you noticed men fitting this description on Westbrook Street last night, you are asked to call South Portland police at (207) 799-5511, extension 7217.

Wow! What more can I say? Repped!
I created two maps for my good friend Dan who occasionally takes a turn at gamemastering our weekly Pathfinder game (each turn lasts about a year). His game world is called Praamador and beginning with the next campaign that should begin around September of this year, he's expanding into a neighboring, larger continent to the north. I am presenting these maps, Praamador and Arindelia, both plain and in situ. These maps owe their style to Ramah who's gorgeous Vaniya inspired me to begin mapping seriously, and inspired the very essence of these maps. I take credit only for the work done to both emulate the style and think up names. Making them look good was the work of many in the WIP threads. So, without further Adieu, here they are.
Wow! What more can I say? Repped!
Good stuff! Repped!

Great stuff, Immolate.
I am sincerely flattered that you think my maps worthy to take anything from, let alone emulate. That last one you posted looks pretty bang on for one of mine. I can see I'm going to have to get a new style. Hehe.
I love all the aging you did on the other one but I have a personal dislike of all the little odds and sods you put on it like the coins etc. If they were roughly hand-drawn (even down to tracing those you've got on but with a rougher hand) then I think they would fit in nicely. As they are, to my eyes they stand out too much. But I think that is just a case of perception and I get it whenever people add things like that. You probably see the maps as being a hand drawn map on a table in a real world perhaps. Whereas I would see it as part of an illustration with everything around it illustrated too.
Still, wonderful maps, Immi. And I'm glad someone is getting some use out of TreeThing. Last time I touched that program I added a few features that I really like but I still need to get back in there and knock out some bugs before I post it. Ah well, maybe soon.
Royal: I'm very sorry for your loss, your mother was a terribly attractive woman.

Thanks all. I'm afraid after 34 years with the same gaming group, I'm pretty much in for the long haul Kairn .
Ramah I think I've done just enough of your style, solidified my grasp of some of the basic concepts that you are faithful to, that I'm ready to start doing some serious exploration of what I want to do for my own expression. I also knew I've have to digest your work over time and I think that with these pieces and the Wheel of Time map that I've done that. I don't expect to ever equal your work, but as long as I'm learning and growing my own work, I'll be content. I'm just glad you've been gracious enough to allow me to make such a study of your style.
Those are really great, especially the two display pieces. Love the magnifying glass effect. Repped!

The government has been told to resurrect its textile industries in order to have more home made clothes from the country's own grown cotton instead of depending on imported garments.
That was said recently at the commemoration of the International Women's Day in Dar es Salaam by Mwanne Msekalile on behalf of other women in the city.
"Although the farmers have been producing much cotton, still Tanzania has not been able to revamp its textile industries. We don't have variety of home made clothes loved by Tanzanians especially women," she said.
She added: "Although we produce khanga we need to different types of clothes manufactured here at home."
She said the availability of home-made clothes from the cotton produced in the country, would make the government's current campaign of finding the national dress to be an easy exercise, she said.
The textile industry that was vibrant in the 1970's but came to decline after market liberalisation.
This situation forced the government to sell ginneries and textile industries that were previously under public ownership and management in order to revamp the sector.
Msekalile also asked the government to locate a reliable market where traders, particularly entrepreneurs, would sell their commodities.
"We don't have reliable places to sell our commodities. In order to be more independent economically we have chosen to produce various things, for instance, women's decorations, tie and dye clothes but we don't have reliable markets," she added.

Justin Nicole Hopkins, 27, of Belhaven remained behind bars Friday morning. The Beaufort County Sheriff's Office says a magistrate upped her bond after she spit at the detention officer Tuesday night. The Highway Patrol had already charged her with DWI and assault on a government official.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Matt Kenseth didn't wait long to get his pole award back.
The Joe Gibbs Racing driver stripped of his pole award from last week at Kansas in a raft of penalties levied by NASCAR this week, set a track record with a lap at 130.334 mph Friday at Richmond International Raceway.
Kenseth edged JGR teammate Brian Vickers by 0.005 seconds to claim only the 10th top starting position of his career in 481 starts.
Jeff Gordon qualified third, followed by Kasey Kahne and Clint Bowyer.

I'm beginning to miss the sun.
This is a rare affliction in our valley, which is sheltered by not one by two rain shadows and as a result is a pretty sunny place.
The Cascade Mountains, the more imposing of these topographic barriers, siphon much of the moisture from the storms that ride the jet stream inland from the Pacific.
Then the Elkhorns wring out most of what's left.
It's quite common, then, for the Elkhorn peaks to be shrouded in cloud while sunshine brightens the valley below.
Which is nice if you enjoy skiing in the mountains but are less enthusiastic about shoveling your driveway.
These pleasant circumstances prevail, generally speaking, even during the depths of winter, a season renowned in less beneficent climates for conjuring skies of various slaty shades for weeks on end.
The typical winter sequence here, by contrast, begins with a day or less of storm followed by two or more days of clear.This has not been a typical winter.
Since late December the sun has been obscured far more often than not — and even when neither snow nor rain was falling.
We've had fog on occasion, which at least has the advantage of novelty.
I like to go for a walk in the fog. The gray mist transforms familiar neighborhoods more dramatically than any other weather phenomenon (well, except maybe for a tornado or hurricane, neither of which, thankfully, poses much of a risk around here).
Sometimes while I'm strolling I imagine that I'm in London, and specifically the winding alleys of Whitechapel where Jack the Ripper prowled in 1888. Except my daydreams omit the murdered prostitutes.
The other nice thing about fog is that it can, when combined with sub-freezing temperatures, turn even a barren deciduous tree into a comely ice sculpture.
A low overcast has neither of these attractive attributes of fog. And unfortunately a low overcast has been the defining characteristic of the valley's weather since 2010 started.
An overcast is like an unwelcome tenant who empties your refrigerator and leaves strange stains in your bathroom but never helps pay the utilities.
An overcast sky is ersatz weather, less nourishing than the thinnest gruel. It lacks the personality of fog and is bereft of the benefits of rain and snow. Precipitation can be annoying — especially when it's precipitating straight down your back because you forgot your waterproofs — but at least it contributes to the fecundity of our soils and replenishes the aquifers.
It's usually good for fish, too.
According to the computer-controlled sensors that "watch" the weather at the Baker City Municipal Airport (humans were relieved of this mundane task, and the paycheck that went along with it, several years ago), 27 days in January were either cloudy or partly so.
Just four days were clear.
I didn't keep track, but that sounds about right to me.
Although I'll concede that computers, in common these days with certain Toyotas, are prone to temporary fits of confusion, or even outright malevolence.
I remember one time the airport was reporting snow even though it was August, which sort of bothered me because I had the sprinklers going out in the yard and I hate to waste water.
I think what happens is sometimes the sensors' endless litany of Os and 1s gets interrupted by, say, the Pythagorean theorem or the ZIP code of Topeka.
But anyway I'll take the airport sensors at their word (or byte, or whatever) on the subject of cloud-free days.
And although the devices have been scanning the skies here for just the past few years, I feel confident in saying that, by Baker Valley standards, we really got gypped last month.
The previous January, for instance, there were twice as many sunny days.
The January before that was sunnier still, with nine clear days.
So far February's skies have been as sullen as January's, with not one wholly clear day in the first dozen.
And more than any other month, February, already deficient in days, is ill-equipped to play catchup. Last February we basked in 12 sunny days, and the February prior there were 10.
The scarcity of sunlight has been so persistent that I've actually started to crave, as though it were a decadent dessert or another great Oasis album, that archetypal spring day in Baker County.
Historically I harbor nothing but antipathy for that day.
You know the day I mean.
The sun shines so brilliantly that you're helpless to resist the siren call. It lures you outdoors and spawns the pathetic optimism that convinces you to stash the heavy wool sweater in the closet.
Then the instant betrayal as the frigid north wind, the real March lion, slashes at your bare arms and gets your eyes watering. You flee inside, muttering about that ridiculous freeway sign that marks the 45th parallel, and the sheer insanity of implying that the weather around here (in March anyway) is equal parts North Pole and equator.
Even worse than pining for the vain promise of false spring, though, I have in my frustration been driven to pondering lyrics by the Eagles. This is the group, recall, which polluted the public airwaves with such phrases as "Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends."
Abominable puns aside, the country-rockers did come up with one line that to me perfectly describes the gloomy atmosphere we've been enduring around here for weeks.
The lyric, from "Desperado," even deals with winter.
"The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine," Don Henley sang. "It's hard to tell the night time from the day."
Personally, I'm ready for something more like this scene, also plucked from the Eagles' repertoire:
"On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair."
Summer driving with the top down — now that's the good life.
Except I don't own a convertible.

NOTRE DAME, Ind. (21 Alive) - Jaylon Smith may only be a sophomore, but he looks to be the leader of the Notre Dame linebacker corps this fall.
Smith was the third leading tackler on the Irish in his breakout freshman season, a season that taught him what it takes to lead and perform at a high level.
And if that turns him into a team leader, the former Bishop Luers Mr. Football and 21 Alive Player of the Year is ready for it.

The celebration included live entertainment by the We Win Institute students and others, as well as a special treat for those who love storytellers. Nothando Zulu, who has been performing for children and adults in Minnesota for more than 20 years and nationally for more than 15 years, entertained the audience with a little help from the children.

When precision and accuracy are important, this is the mat cutter you need for sizing cuts, bevel cuts, and
The Fletcher 2200 features a unique pin locator that makes setting precise, accurate borders easier than ever with faster repeat cutting. The 8" wide border slices through foamboard up to ½" thick.
Clamp Lifters — Mounted on the underside of a hinge bracket with the spring-loaded roller resting on the base. This allows both hands to be free to position the slip sheet and mat. Slight downward pressure lowers the mat clamp. Set of 2. Sold separately.
Measuring Stops — Eliminate the time-consuming technique of drawing lines on the back of the mat. Measuring stops control overcuts and undercuts, and lessen the time required to cut multiple mats with the same dimensions. Sold separately.
Replacement Blades — For MatMate systems 32, 40, and 101. Replacement blades are .015" thick.

X-FAB Announces Third Quarter 2008 ResultsErfurt, Germany, 十一月 25, 2008.
The X-FAB Silicon Foundries Group, the world's leading foundry for the production of analog/digital integrated circuits, today announced sales of USD 308.9 million (EUR 203.1 million) for the first nine months of the current fiscal year. This represents an increase of approximately five percent versus the same period the previous year. In the third quarter of 2008, X-FAB recorded a year-on-year sales decline of 24 percent, from USD 109.1 million in 2007 to USD 82.6 million (EUR 55.1 million).
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) as of September 30, 2008, were USD 15.9 million (EUR 10.4 million) compared to USD 35.5 million a year earlier, a decline of approximately 55 percent. X-FAB posted negative EBIT of USD -7.5 million (EUR -4.8 million) in the third quarter. This compares to EBIT of USD 14.7 million in the third quarter of 2007.
Hans-Jürgen Straub, CEO of the X-FAB Silicon Foundries Group, commented: "Our results obviously are impacted by the general state of the global economy. We do not anticipate a change in the fourth quarter, so sales for 2008 will come in below last year's figure. Forecasts for 2009 are still uncertain. Our current focus is on internal optimization and on preparing for the next period of growth."

A Lipper Leader for Total Return is a fund that has provided superior total returns when compared to a group of similar funds.
Lipper Leaders for Total Return may be the best fit for investors who want the best historical return, without looking at risk. This measure alone may not be suitable for investors who want to avoid downside risk. For more risk-averse investors, Total Return ratings can be used with Preservation and/or Consistent Return ratings to make an appropriate selection that balances the risk and return.
Lipper Leader ratings for Total Return reflect funds' historical total return performance relative to peers. Ratings for Total Return are computed for all Lipper classifications with five or more distinct portfolios and span both equity and fixed-income funds (e.g., large-cap core, general U.S. Treasury, etc.).
The ratings are subject to change every month and are calculated for the following time periods: 3- year, 5-year, 10-year, and overall. The overall calculation is based on an equal-weighted average of percentile ranks for the Total Return metrics over 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year periods (if applicable). The highest 20% of funds in each classification are named Lipper Leaders for Total Return. The next 20% receive a rating of 4; the middle 20% are rated 3; the next 20% are rated 2, and the lowest 20% are rated 1.
