In pictures: inside high-tech factories
Step inside the post-industrial environment of the high-tech facility. A selection of images from the last decade.

Often clinical but sometimes chaotic in appearance, the modern technology factory is the antithesis of the slick marketing images for consumer electronics.
Off limits to the general public, they can also be fascinating. Controversy continues over the working conditions inside these places - Foxconn is perhaps the most high profile target of these claims. Here we look at a selection of images from various manufacturing facilities over the last decade: from Poland to Japan, China and elsewhere.

Sell Property Swiftly To Get Cash Fast With no Paying An Estate Agent
Sell home rapidly now and get cash swiftly at TheFastestPropertySale ! Ever attempt to hold in a sneeze? The bill has already passed in the Senate. Retrieved April 8, 2009, from ProQuest Historical Newspapers The New York Occasions (1851 - 2005) database. Purchasers who are functioning (and they typically are) don't have a lot of free time to browse through open houses. We can't be specialists in all things - we are human and just don't have that capacity to know it all. If you have low water stress this may be from buildup in older pipes or a leak in the provide line. Let alone discover a buyer fast enough to satisfy a quick sale? Anything you don't want, get rid of now.
After in a while there is no a single home Sell House Spicewood for a number of hours, and we needed a secure place to put them during that time. Never ever ignore those cracks in the walls: These are tiny little cracks, but if you ignore them, they will soon spread to the walls and be a eye sore to your beautifully preserve property. In addition, buyers who can afford to purchase a property outright would not want to wait till the 1st buyer reneges on the contingent offer. Whatever the case, this may possibly be a stressful time.

Even if it does not sell away proper out, you would definitely appreciate the compliments flowing in. Gnesdiloff wanted to sell the home to Willie, but he turned down Willie's initial offer you because heavy stress had been place on him from neighborhood residents. Textbooks is another section where you can earn a lot, as their high rates typically compel folks to go for the significantly less expensive second-hand books. If you set a price tag too low, you could just give away your challenging-earned property due to the fact you didn't know what the existing industry value was. Check the analysis, so we know how representative established in the asking value. Because at times, I just wasn't there to take my pups outdoors in the course of a pressing need to have.
They can get from you when you sell residence quick that you considered as derelict home. The boards show that the particular home is ready to be sold by the owner, and with out the involvement of any true estate broker. Occasionally the thought of it can be a little bit overwhelming. Nevertheless, a lot of new sellers have the initial hiccups whilst attempting to sell factors on Craigslist. One particular of the initial decisions you will make is regardless of whether to hire a Realtor or attempt to sell the property your self. The true estate agents may or may possibly not have a buyer that is a prospect for your listing, but that can alter. Plant a couple of flowers, reduce the shrubs, replace the dried grass, and make the exterior as lively as feasible. Be sure to praise her when you find the floor clean and dry, possibly giving her a treat so she associates becoming by herself in that room as a good.
Everyone wants a excellent deal. Very good luck with your sale. The American loved ones dream is to own a property and when you have to sell that house since of foreclosure then it becomes the American nightmare.

Leaving her longer than two hours in her bed will generate a circumstance exactly where she is nearly guaranteed to relieve herself in her bed out of necessity.

not the best pretzels but not a bad Belgian Wit
The Moab Brewery is a decent enough place to escape the midday sun, grab a bite to eat and of course wash it all down with a few house brewed beers. Is the beer world class? No. Is the food something to really write home about? No. Does the A/C kick butt? Yes. Oh, and it's wireless for those looking to check their e-mail.
First things first. It is a big bustling sports bar. It is ice cold, something you learn to appreciate when out camping in the desert for weeks on end. It sure looks promising. The trouble is not really the beer which is fair enough especially at their happy hour prices; it's the food that's really not up to par. We were also a bit in a rush as we'd go in the afternoon but have to rush back to the park to get into position for the early evening light making all that red rock glow. Hey, I like my beer but it would take a whole lot better beer than this to pry me away from Arches at sunset.
We arrived after quite a few weeks of eating campground food, a lot of pasta and not much meat. We were dying for a good burger. So, we opted for two Swiss mushroom burgers which at $7.69 is good value as they came with a fairly generous portion of fries. It wasn't a bad burger, it was just not the great one we were looking for. It was a pre-formed patty and the fries weren't exactly fresh cut either.
Favorite Dish: The beers certainly helped things along. They sell pints on Tuesdays & Thursdays for $2.50 and are quite good about giving you free samples of their ample selection. We started with the Dead Horse Ale which had a nice mix of malt and hops making for a balanced session beer with a clean finish. Their seasonal was a Belgian Wit, a classic honey-hued unfiltered wheat beer with a citrusy nose and fruity palate. It was a good example of the style down to the coriander spicy notes and a perfect beer for this climate. We finished up with the Black Raven Stout which was served via a nitro tap making for a creamy Guinness type texture. The deep mahogany beer was a bit light, more of a porter but did exhibit a fairly roasty palate and bitter finish.
Our second visit, we decided to just have a snack and ordered their brewmaster's soft pretzels with a cheese sauce. We'd had this at a few brewpubs and generally fairly safe to cleanse your palate between beers if you're not looking for a full meal. These were frozen pretzels re-heated it seems in the microwave and just about the worst soft pretzels we'd ever had. We tried the Elephant Hill Hefeweizen which while unfiltered and yeasty, did not approximate a Bavarian Hefeweizen in any way. It's more of an American Wheat beer with a lightly hoppy palate. The Park City Steamer had a big creamy head and malty aroma. The amber beer modeled after Anchor Steam lacked the prototype's fruity palate but it was well balanced with a bitter dry finish. The Park City Pilsner was not in the Czech mold but more an American light pils. Better than Bud but that's not saying much. The Scorpion Pale Ale was a floral hop affair that could have used more malt to balance out what started out interestingly enough but finished a bit one-sided.

finding shade or making shade
We ate most of our meals at the Devil's Garden Campground in Arches National Park. It's located at the end of the park's Scenic Drive so 18 miles from the entrance and about 30 from the Moab Brewery. As you can see, it doesn't make much sense to go to town for dinner. This is especially true since the campground is about as scenic and atmospheric as it can get. You are dining right amongst the fins that you came to see in the first place. Our spot had a great long brick constructed preparation area which made making meals a cinch . Though our spot had lots of shady areas, it was just not possible to get the picnic table in the shade so we improvised with our backcountry tarp!
Favorite Dish: Pancake breakfasts after a morning of hiking or a photo shoot went down well. For dinner, we ate a lot of pasta but also had cheese and whatever bread we could dig up at the local supermarket to go with our evening beers. We bought a six-pack of Derailer Ale from the Moab Brewery. It is said to be brewed with six different malts and four different hops. It was an easy drinking smooth balanced brew with a malty aroma (hey, six malts!) with a clean bittersweet finish. It was a nice addition to the campground!

I'm about 6 weeks pregnant. I just went to the bathroom and noticed some light bleeding, dark brown in color to a little pinkish. When I look online many people talk about heavy bleeding. I'm curious when it first begins, was it bright red or brown? I go to the doctor tomorrow and I'm just trying to figure out if I'm having some spotting or if I'm miscarrying. Thanks for sharing.
What color was your spotting when you first started to MC?
Baby due March 15th 2014!
First child 2009
Mine was brown for a while and then it turned very light pink. I never had bright red because I was able to get my D&C before it got to that point.
Also, brown and even light pink can be normal in the early stages. Try not to stress yourself out...I know easier said then done!
Good luck!
Are you a gamer?
Unfortunately, it can go either way. I've had two miscarriages and both were different. One, no blood at all (missed miscarriage) and the next started out with brown spotting, that turned to a tiny bit of red for several days, then nothing, then period like bleeding over the course of the next two weeks. The baby had a heartbeat the whole time til I hit 11 weeks. I bled from weeks 8-11 and ended up getting a D&C after we discovered the heart had stopped.
Now, I'm about 13 weeks pregnant, and have had light brown spotting since I discovered the pregnancy at 5 weeks. However, this time, everything seems healthy and fine. We had a positive NT scan and things are progressing well. Spotting finally stopped at about 12 weeks. Each pregnancy, and sadly, eash miscarriage, is different.
Try not to stress (ridiculous, I know!) and call your DR. any time you're worried. Best of luck to you!
As other ladies have mentioned, the spotting isn't necessarily a sign of miscarriage. It is when it's a miscarriage, but it happens in normal pregnancy, too.
It ain't over til it's over.
spotted for 1 day then became red and needed pads so i knew it was a mc
2012 = 1CP 2013~2014 on own and 3 rounds clomid BFN
2014 ~ Me + He + Re = 1CP ~ 2 BFN ~Meilynn
It is a big waiting game, keep trusted friends around, and be positive - the amazing process is running its course. Take time out for yourself, take it easy, slow down...don't worry about work etc. delegate jobs chores etc if you need to...this is your time.
trust your instincts...and if your not sure go to DR or get strange pains, the ER, they are fantastic. Today my bleeding has thinned out, finally after 2 wks, and looking forward for a couple cycles to try again...have faith, and feel love x

Brendan Ryan wants to get more familiar with his city of employment. But that might wait until he sleeps in Thursday.
That day marks the Mariners' first off-day after games on 20 straight days, and Ryan, 29, admits it takes a toll.
"No question," said the Mariners shortstop. "The muscles get a little tighter. (But) it is what it is. I think when you're playing hard, you should be feeling it a little bit at the home stretch of a 20-game streak."
The M's entered Monday 10-7 in this stretch, which began May 27 at home against the Yankees. Manager Eric Wedge says it has been a challenge, one that includes monitoring pitchers closely, knowing the precise point when a player has been pushed enough to need a day off, and figuring in the debilitating aspect of travel.

"It's no easy task to go out there and play for 20 days," he said.
Ryan says he tries to get the occasional ice bath, finds himself more apt to catch more down time in the road hotel and "you try not to be running around as much."
He won't lie. He's looking forward to Thursday.
"All our off-days are in the air," he said. "I want to check out Seattle a little bit. I'm eager. I haven't been around the city too much."
Aardsma to 60-day list
The M's activated minor-league left-hander Mauricio Robles, who had arthroscopic surgery on his throwing elbow March 22, and transferred closer David Aardsma from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list.
Aardsma, the Mariners closer, had hip surgery Jan. 3. In his effort to return shortly into the season, developed arm problems and was diagnosed with a sprain of his ulnar collateral ligament.
Wedge said Aardsma was to begin playing catch Monday with catcher Adam Moore, who is recuperating from knee surgery. But any possible return in 2011 would be well into the second half of the season.
• Ken Griffey Jr., a special consultant with the Mariners, is in town, apparently a late arrival at the park. He chatted with the team's TV announcers on ROOT Sports, and was in the clubhouse after the game.

more fish to add in tank!
Hi i was recently talking to Byron about fish but then kind of went berserk and bought like 4 gouramis. Not sure if they'll survive :-( but it seemed like a good idea at the time. So currently I have 2 zebra danios, 5 neon tetras, a bushnose catfish, and one gourami of each of the following: platinum, honey sunset, dwarf, and powder blue dwarf. (the platinum probably wasn't a good idea as it keeps chasing the smaller gouramis. My tank size is 30 gallons, my water is "pretty much neutral in all aspects" said the pet store guy. can i put anymore fish in my tank or is it fully stocked?
After your gouramis kill each other to the last man standing, you will have room. Gouramis are just like betta fish, being closely related. They dont like other fish similar to them.
I would return all but one of the gouramis and add a few more neons. Normally I would suggest adding a few more zebra danios as well but Gourami dont necessarily like the active fish above them. However I have about a dozen danios in my tank with a gold gourami and haven't noticed anything, so I'll leave that up to you. Although I would suggest you keep the platinum if you want to add more danios.
I would add a school of 6-8 Harlequin Rasbora, I have a school of them with my Black Neon Tetra and they get along great and look super. The Harlequin are by far my favorite community schoaling fish :-)
The gourami are going to be problematic no matter what you do, it is their inherent nature. Males esp are territorial, and the one that is already being aggressive is likely a male. He will consider the entire tank "his" and that spells trouble for other gourami.
The Honey Gourami (original or the colour variants like Sunset) is the best of the "common" gourami, and a small group can be kept in your tank. Males will still be "males" from time to time, esp if spawning, but that is normal within a species and this one is better than most. More info in the profile.
The dwarf gourami are not the best fish to have, for reasons as explained in our profile (click shaded names for profiles).
oh. :-? ill just add a few more tetras and be done with it.

"Black Business Success Can Hurt"
By Harry Alford
It can be quite comical at times when you see public relations splashes about perceived successful entrepreneurs. Ninety percent of these so called tycoons are fakes. The fact is most successful Black businesses are rather "stealth". The modesty comes from many examples of attacks, conspiracies and mountains of adversity put before them and others simply because they are Black. Most successful Black entrepreneurs that I know would never publish themselves in the so called Black Enterprise Top 100 Black Businesses. To many it is perceived as a "target list" for the IRS, large competitors and others with bad intentions. Allow me to discuss a few of the horror stories that successful Black entrepreneurs have experienced.
Lannie H. Smith started L.H. Smith Oil Co. and built up a big customer base of Indiana corporations and government entities. He supplied them with fuel oil. His biggest contract was with Ft. Knox, Kentucky, the home of the U.S. Army tank school. Traditionally, you had to deliver the goods on time or face a fine for lateness. In this case, if any of his trucks were late his company would be assessed a fine of $1,000 per hour or part thereof. His enemies knew this so when each truck left Indianapolis for Ft. Knox it would be stopped by an Indiana state trooper and detained for hours. After the harassment, the trooper would release the truck and as soon as it crossed the Ohio River Bridge a Kentucky state trooper was waiting to do the same. This harassment was taking all the profit out of the deliveries and building bad relations with an important customer. It's hard to fight something that is being sanctioned by the highest office in the state (Governor and State Police).
[See full article for other examples]
I know hundreds of such stories. One day I will have to chronicle it in a book. It is just a shame to see hard work and success attacked simply because of the color of one's skin. To see a catfish farmer get his ponds poisoned with toxic mercury; companies getting their valuable equipment stolen; unwarranted union strikes; merciless IRS audits and harassments; false fraud charges and it goes on and on. For every successful Black business that hasn't been "hit" there are five more that have. STILL WE RISE!

To roll out our new medical-marijuana column, "Toke Signals," which features pot connoisseur Steve Elliott traipsing around the state critiquing pot and pot dispensaries, we needed a eye-grabbing cover image. Elliott is a bit balding, a tad portly, and not what we in the biz call "cover material" (I say that with all the love in the world, Steve). So instead of festooning our cover with his bearded likeness, we went the other way, with a "sexy weed nurse" who'd be a bit easier on the eyes. This offended a real nurse. We'd like to talk about it.
"Seattle's lively medical-marijuana scene can be quite entertaining," writes Steve Elliott ("Toke Signals, " Feb. 8).
But what's definitely not "entertaining" is the Weekly's cover image for that issue: a pin-up shot of a busty, half-unzipped "sexy nurse." Reducing nurses to sex objects simply to attract readers is just plain cheap, and trivializes the topic of medical marijuana.
Nurses are a critical part of our healthcare delivery system. We play a key role in our national quest to improve that system, so we can provide more affordable, more accessible and more humane healthcare to everyone. Responsible journalists should be elevating the important role of nurses, not denigrating them.
Stop for just a minute and think about the experiences of your family, whether in routine visits or in times of medical emergency. You will recall the vital role that nurses play in caring for you and your loved ones. RNs are the glue that holds together a currently disjointed and chaotic health care system. It is our expertise, our attention to patient needs, and our advocacy on behalf of our patients that puts the "quality" into "quality care."
The women and men who choose a career in nursing do so to provide care for people, but also carry a reasonable expectation that they will be treated with respect for their skill, knowledge, and professionalism.
What should that respect look like? We need better funding for nursing education, adequate nurse staffing to insure safe care and better accountability from hospitals and other medical facilities in how they allocate our precious healthcare dollars. We need to attract new nurses and retain those with years of experience. That's why it's important not to obscure the real, caring face of the nursing profession
So, let's not forget these real heroes of healthcare--the nurses who work every day to provide the best possible care in spite of the challenges of our current healthcare system. We should be able to expect journalists to respect our contributions to the health and well-being of our communities, as they write about our noble profession. At the very least, we shouldn't be turned into lascivious caricatures or antiquated stereotypes simply as an eye-catching stunt.
First off, thanks for writing in, Diane. We love getting feedback from readers--even those who don't like something we did.
It's perfectly reasonable for you to take some offense at the dead-sexy "nurse" we stuck on the cover. As a real nurse who's probably saved several lives over the course of your career, it's understandable that you and others in your profession might find it offensive to have a mock image of your life's calling used in a way that was more eye-catching than life-saving.
So with that same spirit of professional understanding, I'm hoping that you can respect us and others in our profession, who know that picking a good cover image is crucial in getting people to, well, read our publication.
As Mr. Elliott writes and you point out: "Seattle's lively medical-marijuana scene can be quite entertaining." It can indeed. And Steve's gripping prose and wealth of insight explains that point beautifully. But putting an image of a middle-aged white guy on the cover, or a generic pot-leaf graphic, or something else lame, runs the risk of failing to inspire anyone to actually pick up the paper and enjoy said prose and insight.
That's not to mention that the whole sexy-nurse thing is a cat that was let out of the bag a long time ago. Sure, it's mildly degrading to the nursing profession, but so are "sexy cops," "sexy firemen," and "sexy reporters" to their respective professions. Wait . . . I'm being told that "sexy reporters" is not a stereotype at all.
But you get the point.
Most all mainstream professions have their own common misconceptions. The lucky ones get adjectives like "sexy," while others get less-complimentary words like "sleazy" and "lazy."
We at Seattle Weekly have the utmost respect for nurses and all medical professionals. Hell, my own mother is a career nurse (almost 40 years spent in labor and delivery and post-natal care) who's now retired and teaching a new crop of nurses at Northern Arizona University. And while she wouldn't be gushing with admiration for seeing Nurse Chronic, R.N. on the cover of her son's newspaper, she'd understand why we put it there.
And also know that we don't just buy random stock art and slap it on the cover without a thought as to how our readers might absorb it. We have an art director who, quite literally, loses sleep during the creative process required to conceptualize and create images that not only catch people's eyes, but tell a story on their own.
Like this one:
And this one:
Again, that's not to say that you, as a nurse, don't have a right to find our cover distasteful. I find the fact that you nurses are always stabbing me in the arm with needles every time I see you distasteful. But I understand you're doing it because it's your job and that you know what you're doing.
So I guess the point is: So do we.

Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. The earth has been invaded by a species that takes over the minds of their human hosts while leaving their bodies intact, and most of humanity has succumbed.
Wanderer, the invading 'soul' who has been given Melanie's body, knew about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the too-vivid memories. But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn't expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.
Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts with visions of the man Melanie loves - Jared, a human who still lives in hiding. Unable to separate herself from her body's desires, Wanderer yearns for a man she's never met. As outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off to search for the man they both love.less

Erwin Ephron legacy honoured
31 October 2013
NEW YORK: The legacy of Erwin Ephron, the influential media planning consultant who died last month, is to be marked by a new awards program, the Advertising Research Foundation has announced.
The Erwin Ephron Demystification Award will be presented annually in his memory,
MediaPost reported
. ARF CEO and President Gayle Fuguitt explained that the title was intended to reflect Ephron's own personality and his approach to simplifying the business of advertising and media research.
The program would be "inspired by a little bit of lightness", she said. Full details will be unveiled at the ARF's annual Re:think conference in March 2014.
The news came during an ARF Business Leadership Forum in New York, where Scott McDonald, senior vice president-research and insights at Conde Nast Publications, paid tribute to Ephron.
He said Ephron's greatest contributions to the advertising and media industry had been his approach to "simple storytelling" and his "gift for demystifying complex ideas".
"In a world where everyone else is selling something, and you don't know who to listen to, Erwin was selling wisdom," McDonald said.
Ephron was particularly associated with the development of "recency" planning which challenged the then dominant theory of frequency as the ad planning model for FMCGs.
He argued that it was more important to reach consumers at the point at which they were most likely to buy as opposed to just reaching them often, an idea he explained in detail in
a 1997 article in the Journal of Advertising Research
. Here he described recency planning as "the sensible idea that most advertising works by influencing the brand choice of consumers who are ready to buy".
Some 13 years later he revisited the subject to suggest that frequency had a greater role to play. Stephen D. Rappaport, ARF Knowledge Solutions Director,
outlined his new thinking in a Knowledge@Hand post
and said that with the move from an OTS measure to a specific count of people seeing advertising, "the role of frequency in building an advertising audience becomes obvious".

Masters thesis for M.Arch degree at The Savannah College of Art and Design.
A fantasy Utopia based on the tenets of Objectivist philosophy sets the stage for an architectural exploration of the notion of spatial relationships in the twenty first century. This thesis explores how architecture, when experienced for the sake of the experience it has to offer, can be the tool for developing a morally founded society by creating an awareness of each individuals greatest sense of self. Objectivism holds that it is not the dogma of religion from which individuals should determine what is right and wrong, as religion is anti-life. Rather, it is the experience of art and the study of philosophy that come together to make possible the ability to rationalize abstract feelings and emotions to be able to apply them to an individual moral code. This study explores how architecture as art could redefine our notion of space in the twenty first century, and how space will in turn define us.

Helping Lead the Charge in Energy Issues and Policies
The energy sector is undergoing major transformations. Rising demand, emerging technologies, climatic changes and other environmental impacts, and regulatory developments all promise to reshape not only how we harness and use energy, but the structure of local and national economies as well. In the midst of these exciting changes, energy industry players—from traditional producers to renewable and cleantech companies—are looking for ways to strengthen their enterprises and increase performance, opportunities and growth.
Manatt's Energy and Natural Resources practice has broad and deep experience in dealing with the complex and diverse issues—as well as the substantial opportunities—facing the energy and natural resources industry today. We represent the full spectrum of energy and natural resources companies in all aspects of their business, from production to consumption and all the steps between, as well as industry proponents and opponents, applicants and interveners.
Our attorneys include former energy industry executives, as well as government and legislative officials with experience in energy policymaking and regulations, who bring knowledge and understanding of the business and political realities of the industry.
We have been at the forefront of virtually every legal issue and policy decision affecting the energy and natural resources industry in the past 10 years. Our team has successfully handled a broad range of matters, including:
A Public Policy and Regulatory Powerhouse
Supporting our energy team's efforts is Manatt's recognized and highly respected Government and Regulatory group, which provides government relations and policy development activities crucial to our energy and natural resources clients. From offices in Washington, D.C., Albany and Sacramento, the group advocates for clients in legislative and administrative hearings, and rulemaking and regulatory proceedings, as well as providing legislative lobbying and analysis. The group also facilitates strategic planning, government contracts, permits and entitlements.
In addition to helping clients navigate the regulatory maze, our government and regulatory team assists clients by anticipating, leveraging and/or shaping the dynamic body of law regulating them. The team is currently playing an active role in matters concerning climate change, alternative fuels, energy-related stimulus dollars and energy taxation.
Plugged Into Every Aspect of the Energy Industry
Our clients are leaders in the energy arena, covering everything from electric power, natural gas, oil and coal to renewable energy, such as wind and solar power. We combine practical, real-world solutions with forward-thinking, proactive counsel to help our clients successfully understand and respond to developments in the energy industry and achieve their business objectives.
Electric Power
Over the years, Manatt has built a well-developed practice covering traditional generation, transmission and distribution of electricity, cutting-edge technologies and business matters. Our attorneys have represented investor-owned electric power utilities; municipal utilities that deal with electric power, such as irrigation districts, cogenerators and cogeneration projects; and independent power producers; and have handled matters regarding transmission and distribution issues and projects.
Our attorneys have represented all industry segments in negotiating power purchase agreements, transmission-related agreements—including those with the California Independent System Operator—and every form of contract and tariff used in the industry. We also represent utilities in a broad range of land-related issues, including eminent domain and condemnation matters for power companies such as Pacific Gas and Electric Co.
On the other end of the energy spectrum, Manatt helps large consumers of energy control and reduce their energy costs. Our work includes helping negotiate and draft purchase agreements, assess utility rates and charges, and examine facility purchasing and hedging strategies.
Natural Gas
Manatt attorneys represent all segments of the natural gas industry: production and processing; interstate, intrastate and international transportation and commerce; distribution and marketing; and planning for more efficient consumption. In addition to providing a broad range of legal services, we have been involved in numerous state, federal and international regulatory and lobbying efforts on behalf of our natural gas industry clients.
Our practice is not limited to local matters between regulated entities and consumers but is engaged in cross-border matters as well. We have been involved in matters as diverse as major LNG import projects, such as that proposed by BHP Billiton for the West Coast, and Canadian matters as diverse as distribution infrastructure in Nova Scotia and major transportation projects such as the Alaska natural gas transportation system.
The team has particularly deep experience in dealing with the sensitive environmental and regulatory concerns involved in petroleum production, refining and marketing, with a particular focus on the refining industry, which we advise on regulatory matters affecting transportation (including water, truck and pipeline) and local issues of utility service. The group works closely with lawyers in the firm's Environmental Law team on permitting and other matters requiring a high degree of environmental regulatory, legislative and litigation experience.
Our clients include major petroleum refiners and marketers such as Tesoro Refining and Marketing Co. and Kern River Refining Co. We have also represented oil companies on royalty matters before the Minerals Management Service, and drafted numerous leasing and production-related agreements.
Alternative Energy and Renewable Resources
Green is growing. As the effort to reduce greenhouse gases has increased, Manatt has been at the forefront of efforts to develop clean and renewable energy resources. Our work in this area includes major projects for solar, wind, biomass, geothermal and other areas in the global effort to provide clean and efficient energy.
Project and product development, as well as energy efficiency programs, have dominated our efforts, particularly in the field of solar energy. We have represented a broad range of solar industry clients, large and small, ground- and rooftop-mounted, that work with energy providers, integrators and owners. Our representation includes power purchase agreements and solar lease contracts relating to project development, corporate mergers and acquisitions, licensing and implementation of sustainability plans, and contracts for the lease or sale of solar units to homeowners.
Our clients include companies such as Applied Materials, SunWize, GroSolar and SunEdison as well as large domestic and Chinese solar panel manufacturers. We also advise the County of Los Angeles and Los Angeles Unified School District in energy consumption and energy efficiency programs. Our lawyers have also drafted complex long-term agreements involving all facets of biomass projects.
Our Energy and Natural Resources practice is an interdisciplinary one, often involving lawyers skilled in corporate formation and governance, complex transactions, financing, and regulatory and governmental affairs.
Water, particularly in the West, is a major issue, and Manatt has been a player in the industry's deep end for decades. We represent major elements of the complex water industry, primarily in California, but with far-reaching connections to other areas of the country.
Our clients include the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California; "Class A" investor-owned and state-regulated water utilities, such as California American Water Company; small, investor- or municipally owned water utilities and irrigation districts, and major project developers regarding water supply and other issues. Our attorneys are also involved in cutting-edge water projects involving the desalinization of seawater and cleanup of areas such as Mono Lake.
Coal and Hard Rock Mining
Our professionals have a breadth of experience in representing coal producers and consumers. We have particular experience in coal policy-related issues, surface mining and reclamation, transportation and taxation. We also counsel large industrial energy consumers that use coal as their primary energy source on cost reduction and environmental strategies. We represent companies mining copper, gold, aggregate and other materials in entitlements, air quality matters, water quality matters, resources, MSHA and litigation.
Energy Industry Transactional Strength
Energy industry companies are among the most capital-intensive businesses in the world, and Manatt attorneys have assisted them with every major type of transaction, ranging from financing, acquisitions and dispositions to special due diligence issues and restructuring of energy assets. Among the major deals we have handled are:

This site shows some examples of fillet brazing http://www.bikewebsite.com/weldsetup.htm
Note if you do not have an oxy-actelylene rig you can use MAPP gas-air torch.
Mark Stonich has some good information at this site http://mnhpva.org/tech/brazing.html
He also has some pictures of practice fillet type brazes on this website. Try searching this forum.
I don't braze this way any more. I just haven't had time to document what I've learned since. The old way isn't bad, just not the best.Originally Posted by Greg Fox
The new method would be difficult to describe, but much easier to use. Almost foolproof. Wish I wasn't so busy.

If you want to see it, you can buy the Paternek video on how to braze a frame. He does it with standard materials, though there are better materials, that are easier. A cheaper tape is his stem and rack tape which has a lot of brazing in it, though if you are building a frame...
If you happen to get any time to explain the process more let us all know, Im having trouble building up a thick enough joint. I know everyone would appreciate it.Originally Posted by MnHPVA Guy
I tried using MAPP gas on some tubes the other day just practicing it and the brass wouldnt melt. Any suggestions.
Maybe I can give you some help. I've been using Gasflux rod and flux for about a year. A good product, ordered mine direct from them but henry james also sells the line. Dealing with Gasflux direct is easy just call them up. I've used MAPP for 10 years for fillet brazing and some welding. It is just a bit cooler so use more gas to get a hot enough flame and the 1/16" rod will flow great.

It's a big help if you have something to reflect some of the heat back into the joint you are trying to braze. I have been using a 1 gallon paint can that I cut apart. velonomad has said he uses stainless steel flashing. Aluminum flashing will not work (you burn holes in it). Fire brick or ceramic wool are also used.
A hard road to hoe - and not recommended at all. Sign-up for a class at your local community college. Unlike credited courses, many instructors let the students decide how much, on what equipment. If the 'teach' knows his stuff, you'll be gluing tubes with respectable results after the first night - the remainder is practice. And if you don't screw around, you can easily have a frame or two built after all said and done.Originally Posted by iVAG

There is an interesting thread on the other forum where there is a guy doing a course and they asked him how the master had him practice the brazing. The drill was building little stalagmites of brass on top of the tube. The idea being that if you could get it bonded to the tube to start, and could get it building up without it slumping then you were learning placement and heat control. Sounds good to me.
We start the students with single passes down the middle of flat stock, usually 16ga. This lets them focus on wetting and bead formation, without worring about burning the parent metal. Next comes butt joints, followed by lap joints, "T's" then Vertical "T's". Each successive joint, represents increased difficulity in heating both pieces uniformly. Tubing is last.
