Attention Bidders: A word about our auctions………………we do not disclose our Reserve on a "RESERVE AUCTION." The reason is simple, disclosing the Reserve defeats e purpose of the Reserve auction. Disclosing makes it a "Sale," for the bidder not an auction, much like a Basic Auction on Auction Arms where the minimum selling price is listed for all bidders to see. We prefer the Reserve Auction and the "HAGGLE" feature offered by Auction Arms. About 40% of our sales are completed via the Haggle. In the Reserve auction you are not necessarily bidding to hit the reserve but to be the high bidder. That is when the Haggle begins. If you are not familiar with the Haggle process click on: Help & Info Often the Reserve is the price the Seller would like to get but is not necessarily the minimum price the Seller may be willing to accept. We hope this explains why we don't disclose.

What has sleek, modern lines, polished steel, and the ability to go from 0 to 60 in 1.4 seconds? You might think I'm talking about an Italian supercar, but no, I'm talking about a digital scale. This simple tool may already be sitting on a shelf in your kitchen, but chances are that you're not harnessing its full potential. Using a digital scale to weigh out the ingredients for your recipes can help your kitchen run faster and cleaner. Here are just a few ways a digital scale can benefit your operation:
- Precision. Not all cups are created equal. Depending on how finely cut a product is or how tightly flour is packed into a cup, the weight of that product can vary greatly. You are fooling yourself if you think your recipes are coming out exactly the same each time. The truth is, measuring by volume is antiquated. You might as well be using a pinch of this or a small handful of that. Restaurant customers expect consistency and measuring by weight will give you the same results every time.
- Tare/zero out. The ability of the digital scale to "tare" or "zero out" is the key to its power. It allows you to add ingredients, one by one to a single bowl resting on a scale and precisely measure how much of each individual ingredient you are using by hitting the tare button. Hitting the tare button eliminates the weight of the bowl and takes the scale back down to zero, so that any ingredient added after hitting tare is the only ingredient being measured.
- One bowl recipes. The tare function allows the digital scale to turn your recipes into one bowl recipes. What? You say, only one bowl, preposterous! By placing a single bowl on to a scale and using the tare function, you can pour each ingredient into the bowl as you go. This eliminates the middle man. You can pour the ingredients from their container or package directly into the bowl, no measuring spoons or cups required.
- Less clean up. Switching to the one bowl method will greatly reduce the amount of clean up that is required for each recipe. Where one of your recipes used to require five different spoons and two measuring cups, it will now just need a bowl and one spoon. Expect to be deified by your dishwasher.
- Efficiency and speed. A recipe that requires six cups of soy sauce might require you to fill up a measuring cup three times. Or, you could just pour the soy sauce directly into a bowl on a digital scale and wait for it to register 48 ounces. A digital scale will keep you in one place for longer, no back and forth trips to sinks or looking for measuring spoons and cups.
- Conversion. Let's see, if you want to halve a recipe that requires a tablespoon of salt, which is three teaspoons, which are equal to 1/6 of an ounce, so you would need to…invent a new spoon. Not to mention, due to the previously mentioned lack of precision a tablespoon gets you, you don't even really know how much salt you're putting into your recipe in the first place. By using the weight of ingredients you can quickly convert recipes to whatever size you want. Your tablespoon of salt suddenly becomes .5 ounces of salt and a half batch requires .25 ounces. Oh! The power of simple Math!
- Portioning. Being able to precisely track the weight of each ingredient will allow you to know the exact portion sizes of each meal you serve. This can help you decrease food costs and avoid costly food waste. For example, every order of spaghetti and meatballs you serve will have exactly five ounces of pasta and two four ounce meatballs.
- Pricing. When you receive a food delivery does it provide the exact measurement of product? Does the tarragon package read: 300 tablespoons of tarragon? Or do the bell peppers have a measurement on the box that reads: 20 cups of bells peppers if Jack chops them or 27 cups if Heather chops them? No, they list the total weights of each product. By using weight to measure your recipes you suddenly know exactly how much each dish costs you, down to the penny. This provides an edge when pricing your menu and monitoring your inventory.
The first step to becoming a digital scale convert is the hardest one. Initially, you will have to measure out all of the ingredients of your existing recipes. This will be a time consuming task, but once you have the measurements you will be ready to reap the benefits of using a digital scale to cook. This may cause separation anxiety for all of your measuring cups and spoons, but after making cake batter and looking at the absence of flour, oil and sugar peppered across your prep space, you will be too happy to care.

A Legacy Lives On
Family Donates Items to County in Memory of Generous Grandmother
One of the traits that Ruth Hunter most admired about her Grandmother Bessie was her playful spirit.
Standing just 4 feet 11 inches in her black laced oxfords, Bessie Cramer Johnston loved to invent games and tell stories to entertain her grandchildren. On hot summer nights, says Hunter, Johnston would spread white sheets on the grass so the children could study the stars and wish on them. On cold nights, she would find icy windowpanes and spin yarns about Jack Frost.
"I grew up holding on to her apron, watching her cook and bake at the black iron wood stove," says Hunter, adding that one of the treats Bessie baked was lady fingers for impromptu tea parties.
Another trait that Hunter admired was Johnston's generosity and compassion for her fellow man – "especially those in need," emphasizes Hunter.
To her grandmother, says Hunter, "a hobo was only someone less fortunate and Jesus in disguise."
When Johnston owned the Clifton Bakery and Quick Lunch in Ashland during the 1920s, she would feed ministerial students from Randolph-Macon College at her own expense.
During the Depression, she collected clothes and food for the gypsies and their babies who camped in cars near Brook Road in Glen Allen. Once she had filled a wagon with her collection, the tiny woman would haul it to the gypsy camp, accompanied by her granddaughter.
"I was eight or nine," recalls Hunter. "I was probably almost as tall as she was."
So when it comes to honoring her grandmother's memory, it's only fitting that Hunter has echoed that generosity – and incorporated Grandmother Bessie's playfulness as well – by donating toys, dolls and other playthings to a Henrico museum.
On Nov. 24, Hunter visited Meadow Farm Museum to make her latest donation: a "Bessie doll" made in 1872, the same year her grandmother was born.
"She is a Grenier [doll]," says Hunter, "a homely doll [with a] papier mache head." Hunter believes Grandmother Bessie would approve of the doll's plain appearance, since Johnston – who was born in the Poconos near Stroudsburg, Pa. – used to call herself "the homeliest girl in the mountains."
Shoes and Thimbles
Perhaps it was Johnston's "homely" designation that helped make her so sensitive to the plight of others.
Bessie had a sister who was thought of as beautiful, says Hunter, and once told her granddaughter about family gifts received from an aunt when she was about 10.
Emma, the sister, received a beautiful doll; but it took Johnston awhile to find her gift.
"Finally, down in the very bottom of the package, was a little thimble for Bessie," says Hunter, adding that the sterling thimble is now cherished by her daughter-in-law.
But Bessie Johnston's faith undoubtedly contributed to her giving and compassionate nature as well. A devout Baptist, she was a charter member of Biltmore Baptist Church.
"Her credo," says Hunter, "was simple: to complain is an insult to God."
Johnston arrived in Ashland in 1911 when her husband moved his family to be near his father, H.C.N. Johnston of Passaic, New Jersey, who had bought the 300-acre Winn farm on Elmont Road a few years earlier.
Until she and her husband moved to Henrico County, sometime around 1927, Bessie operated the bakery on Railroad Avenue.
Hunter has written about the lunch spot in a commemorative book marking the town of Ashland's 150th anniversary.
"I am told she is written up in the annals of [Randolph-Macon College] for her contributions to the well-being of the students," writes Hunter. "The menu included soups, sandwiches and pies of many flavors.
"Bessie was a Yankee and had never heard of grits or collards, so she cooked or baked what was familiar to her: foods of Pennsylvania. Her heritage, going back to early American days, was German, English, Dutch, Swiss and possibly a little French thrown in."
Ruth Hunter's special connection with her grandmother may have reached a peak, however, in her third grade year.
"We wore the same shoe size [that year]," she says, "so she ordered us shoes form the Spiegel catalog – exactly alike!"
"I sometimes wondered," says Hunter, "if she loved me only because I was the child of her cherished daughter. But she loved everyone – except the doctor who called me homely when comparing me to my prettier mother."
Billy Goats and Buckets
As a family, the Hunters have a long history with Meadow Farm.
Hunter's son, Robert Jr., did archaeology digs on the grounds as a student, and described the farm experience in his graduate dissertation at the College of William and Mary.
Hunter was born just a few miles away from Meadow Farm, near Mountain Road, in 1928.
At the presentation of the Bessie doll, Johnston's great-granddaughter Debbie Frost Bohn joined her cousin Ruth, and they discussed the legions of relatives who have lived in the Meadow Farm area for decades.
Bohn recounted stories she heard as a child from her own grandmother "about the ladies getting off at the train station in their big dresses, going to big balls at the Forest Lodge." Bohn has recently taken an interest in the family history, and credits Hunter for helping her learn more about the Johnstons and other ancestors.
"[So] many generations of my family have grown up here, and still go to Glen Allen Church," says Bohn. "We all lived on Blackburn. My mother – Bessie's granddaughter – still lives here. It's all still connected."
In addition to the Bessie doll, Hunter and her family have presented Meadow Farm with several other items over the years: blacksmith tools, brass buckets, fireplace and farm tools, and a hide-covered trunk lined with early newspapers – all in keeping with the farm's 19th-century origins.
On Hunter's 81st birthday, her grandchildren presented "Billy" for placement in the children's bedroom in the circa 1860 farmhouse. "Billy" the goat, a late 19th-century riding toy with iron wheels and a brass bell at his neck, had enjoyed many years as a decoration in the Hunter home.
"Rather than try and put the goat on a gift list," says Hunter, "since more than one of our children may want it – and like Solomon we cannot cut him in half – we like the thought of the public enjoying Billy in the old farmhouse."
As she was with the riding goat, Hunter is happy to make a home for the Bessie doll, and to honor once again the memory of her grandmother.
Even after all these years, says Hunter, Johnston has a powerful everyday influence on her. Whenever she feels the urge to whine or complain, for instance, she hears
her grandmother's voice admonishing her.
"Today, every trip I make to the compost pile with vegetable scraps, or to tend the herbs, or bake bread from scratch, or love a grandchild – I think of my grandmother," says Hunter. "To emulate her in small ways is all I can accomplish.
"I tell you," she adds wistfully, "I loved that little lady."

While Michel Foucault's writings have been taken up extensively to explore gender and sexuality, until recently there was little work drawing on Foucault's writings to discuss race. In part, this was because Foucault seemed to have said almost nothing about race, aside from some comments on Nazism and eugenics in the final pages of Part V of The History of Sexuality, volume 1. With the 1997 and 1999 publication of two series of lectures that Foucault delivered at the Collège de France between 1974 and 1976, Abnormal and "Society Must Be Defended" (both appearing in English translation in 2003), Foucault scholars have, however, become aware that he made more extensive and provocative observations about race than had previously been believed. Both of these lecture series gives a genealogical account of the ways in which modern, biological forms of racism emerged at a certain point in history, stressing the contingency of this emergence and its enmeshment in power struggles and modern forms of power. This paper provides an account of what Foucault argues about race and racism in the Collège de France lectures, and, more briefly, presents two of the most extended treatments of race coming from Foucauldian perspectives that have appeared in the wake of these texts.

New York Magazine rounded up 13 of these brave souls, and asked them what they wore to meet with Nuclear Wintour, and whether or not they got the job. Haute couture seemed to impress almost always, but interestingly, there were a few folks who got gigs dressed in decidedly non-Vogue outfits. (Having parents who were teachers and living in Brooklyn seemed like a bigger problem, if you go by one applicant's story.)
The whole list is fascinating, but here are a few of our favorites:
1. The Woman Who Spent $5000
I have literally had cars that did not cost as much as this women's interview outfits, which contained much Proenza, Prada, and Celine, and not a single bargain basement sticker.
2. The Woman Who Was Told Not to Cry
This is the lady who lived in Brooklyn and had the offensively employed parents. She wore vintage and borrowed a friend's designer clutch, but to no avail. The hideous crime of living in an outer borough tanked her chances quicker than an Old Navy label.
3. The Woman Who Wore Doc Martens
"I didn't know I was going to be interviewing with Anna that day, but even if I had known, I don't think I would have chosen my outfit any differently ... I just wore my favorite outfit from my post-college wardrobe: a dark gray Anna Sui pleated skirt, black cardigan, black tights, and Doc Martens. This was 1993, what can I say?"
You can say you'll be friends with us and that it's OK to bite your style for our next interview. Please, HR directors, make this the expected uniform for all interviews henceforth. High heels are so pinchy.

Printing - T1 General - Condensed return
For the 2011 tax year, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has developed a new version of the T1 General return called "T1 General - Condensed 2011" that is generated via the program. This three-page condensed version of the T1 General return is identified on page 1 as the "CRA version" and is created with a new keying field summary form, "Form T1-KFS", which contains the required field codes and related values printed in a condensed format. The T1 General - Condensed return, Form T1-KFS, and any additional required forms and schedules not included on Form T1-KFS are printed by the program. This results in less paper being required, thereby supporting sustainable development, while realizing savings in mailing and storage costs.
If you file your return in paper version, print only the T1 General - Condensed return to send to the CRA. The T1 General - Condensed return as generated by the program contains all the information required to process the return.
Please take note that if any or all of a single client's "regular" T1 General is sent to the CRA along with the T1 General - Condensed return, the processing of the return will be delayed.

Pillow Talk; Dr Chris Idzikowski Is Director of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre
Byline: DR CHRIS IDZIKOWSKI
Sleeping pills rarely get good press. They have a reputation for beingdangerous, ineffective and dependence-inducing. Of course, they can have a rolebut should not be considered a panacea. The cause of insomnia should beinvestigated and conventional psychological methods employed. Regularity ofbedtime and rise time, reserving the bed and bedroom primarily for sleep andhaving enough time to engage in wind-down routines prior to sleep can preventthe development of insomnia.
Q Why do I wake up in the middle of the night starvingcraving sugardespite eating an evening meal and wholemeal toast just before bed?
A The relationship between sleep and hunger is complexdieting, for example, can disturb sleep. Our hormonal controls during sleep aredesigned to prevent us waking up. In the same way that hormones reduce kidneyoutput to the bladder so we dont keep going to the loo, hormones such as leptinalso normally reduce appetite at night. Drops in blood glucose are linked withsugar craving, and normally a drop will cause awakening, although it doesnt inthose with diabetes.
Also, there are sleep disorders that involve sleepwalking and eating, or simplywaking up and feeling hungry. In your case, the culprit may be the wholemealtoast. Some foods release glucose quickly but there is a sudden drop as theyare absorbed by the body. Try eating breakfast cereal that contains oats,barley and bran before bed instead. …

AWS Security Credentials
When you interact with AWS, you use AWS security credentials to verify who you are and whether you have permission to access the resources that you are requesting. In other words, security credentials are used to authenticate and authorize calls that you make to AWS.
For example, if you want to download a specific file from an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket, the credentials that you use must allow that access. If your credentials aren't authorized to download the file, your request is denied. In some cases, you can make calls without security credentials to AWS, like when you download a file that is publicly shared in an Amazon S3 bucket.

Bill Greason & Mark House: together again
Oklahoman Mark House and baseball pioneer Bill Greason have a unique relationship. Greason is the pitcher who broke the color barrier in Oklahoma City, with the 1952 Oklahoma City Indians. After his baseball career, Greason became a minister in Birmingham, Ala., where I interviewed him in 2007, resulting in this column.
House read the story, became intrigued by Greason's career and worked to bring him to Oklahoma City. Which happened in 2012, where Greason was honored at a RedHawks game. You can read about that here and here.
But House's relationship with Greason didn't end there. They're remained in contact, and now House is headed to Birmingham on Friday, when Greason will be honored by the American Negro League Association.
Greason, one of three players still alive from the Birmingham Black Barons' Negro League championship team, will be feted at the association's community initiative project HELP, at the Birmingham Sheraton.
At the banquet, a montage print of Greason by world-renowned artist Ronald Scott McDowell will be unveiled. You can view McDowell's work on Greason here. Among the speakers at the banquet will be former Mets and White Sox manager Jerry Manuel.
And House will be on hand. His interest in history, and the story of a stranger from the dusty days of old-time Oklahoma City, has been inspiring. You can read Jenni Carlson's 2012 column about House here. The Birmingham Times, a newspaper serving the black community, wrote about OKC's honoring Greason while promoting the banquet Friday. House is singularly responsible for that.

AutoModeller Pro is a brand new, incredibly advanced, game-changing, native (heavily) multi-threaded plugin(C++) for 3ds Max (2010-2017). It allows you to apply or paint a group of meshes as "geometry texture" onto your existing 3ds Max scene geometry.
WeightPro is a 3ds Max c++ plugin for automatic, fast and smooth Skin modifier weighting, no matter if the mesh has good or messy topology. It voxelizes the mesh with the skeleton using GPU to calculate the shortest distances between bones and vertices.
It allows you to make adjustments during posing in realtime.
Available for 3ds Max versions: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016.
You can fast archive with projectshowcas and you can recall the scene visually archives.
OverMorpher PoseSpace is a 3Dsmax plugin dedicated to Pose Space Deformation.
It is pretty similar to the SkinMorph, Corrective poses driven by your Rig.
Except the poses interpolation is more reliable.
The SkinMorph modifier drives the poses depending on the angle between 2 bones.
OverMorpher Mesh Space is the release of what I showed a few years ago: http://hocuspocus-studio.fr/tools/overmorpher/
That's a new 3dsmax plugin. It works like a morpher, but on top of an animated mesh.
It can be placed over a skin modifier, or anything like a point cache or an alembic…etc
That's a new 3dsmax plugin for animation.
It gives you all the freedom that even the best rig can't.
You can sculpt your poses in animation at a specific time, and your corrective poses are blended on top of your mesh deformations.
Hello everybody. I want to share with you something I whipped up these past couple of days.
IMPORTANT! In order for all the controls to work, the pan and zoom hotkeys inside 3ds max must NOT be altered.
Also, make sure you close max before installing this, or it won't install.
It's basically an alternate viewport navigation inside 3ds Max that tries to mimic maya's Alt + Click viewport navigation to some extent. I am aware that there is at least one commercial solution out there that does this, but this one is free and I thought you might like that little detail.

The invention relates to the subject of remediation of chemical and petrochemical spills on land, in standing or moving water, e.g., oceans, lakes, rivers, etc., though use of microencapsulated species of microbes e.g., those representative of the genus Candida lipolytica; C. guilliermondii; and C. yarrowia.
Since the advent of the drilling of the first oil well in Pithole Pa., near Oil City, Pa. in the late 19th Century, man has continued to improve the methods by which greater volumes of crude oil may be extracted from the earth. Such production of crude oil in such remote places as Saudi Arabia, Africa; Egypt; Iran; Venezuela; Australia, etc., require transportation of the crude oil to processing centers located near large metropolitan centers where demand for petrolatum-based products is high. Such transportation may be facilitated through pipelines, supertanker sailing ships, land based tanker trucks, etc.
Throughout the decades many, many accidental oil spills have occurred, resulting in devastation to marine and terrestrial life, and the environment or biosphere (ecosystems) in general. The object of my invention is to provide a method and means whereby such accidental spills may be contained in such a way as to remediate the spill, while simultaneously preventing devastation to the biosphere and specific marine ecosystems. Other aspects of my invention, e.g., use of same in food and chemical production processes are also described.
The instant invention teaches a method and means for enabling the remediation and removal (neutralization, if you will) of spilled oils or fats (lipids) from land, moving or standing fluids (lakes, oceans, seas, standing aquifers, etc.) slurries, or semi-solid, processed manufactures, or from food substances.
My invention relates to my discovery of a three particular species of the yeasts which possess the capability to produce an enzyme, lipase, which is capable of breaking down hydrocarbon-based substances, e.g., crude oil and other petroleum distillates, either paraffin-based or possessing other peculiar chemical bases. The particular strains I use in reducing my discovery to practice were identified through a Field and Technical Search which was conducted for me, under contract, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's IAC, the NASA Industrial Application Center at the University of Pittsburgh, Profile #7209, which is herein incorporated by reference. The particular species I have named above, and their ability to produce lipase (and accomplish hydrocarbon and N-Aldehane degradation in to base components, e.g., H; C; and O) has been well established in the literature.
In my experiments I have found that of the 300+species of Candida, three particular species of the genus Candida lipolytica, more specifically, C. albicans; C. guilliermondii; and C. yarrowia, have performed exceedingly well in degrading sample oils in my laboratory. I selected and specified these particular species for claiming in my discovery, as they possess certain properties with regard to nutrient requirements (some require no nutrient; are aerobic or anerobic), possess the ability to produce lipase across a broad temperature range (>-10 F. to >+68 F.), and are capable of maintaining basal cellular activity in salt or fresh waters. Of course, other species and organisms of and not of the genus C. could and may also be used as a component in the bioremediation device, instant, and in that regard the examples cited above should be interpreted as being illustrative, rather than limiting.
The species cited above may be used i.e., encapsulated in their freeze-dried or reconstituted forms in the treatment and remediation of oil spills on land and in water. Common brewers yeast, in the freeze dried state, will also perform to degrade hydrocarbons.
A second, more important aspect of my discovery is the ability to place living organisms 2 in a protective "shell" 1 , as it were, thereby allowing the shell containing the organism to be placed in standing or moving aquifers where oil spills 3 have occurred. Such placement enables the organism to gain proximity to the oil (containing hydrocarbons) where it may produce lipase and digest the hydrocarbons (crude oils) thereby preventing damage to the environment, marine life, and other elements of the ecosystem and biosphere. A third aspect of the invention brought about through such placement in the microcontainer is that the viable cell(s) maintains its integrity by preventing it the organism from osmosing too much water across its cell membrane, preventing the organism's demise (these species lack water intake control mechanisms such that when placed in water the microbe has a propensity to take on so much water that it eventually explodes (and dies).
Placement of the reconstituted organisms 2 in the microshell 1 is accomplished through use of the Kornfeld Rotary Reactor, a device developed by NASA (see NASA Tech Briefs, MFS-28214, entitled Rotary Reactor Makes Large Latex Particles) which is in the public domain, or through utilization of any number of encapsulating devices or processes, e.g., the Vanderhoff Rotary Reactor (also a NASA technology), by microshell manufacturers e.g., KMS Industries of Ann Arbor, Mich., or Micro-Pak, Inc. of N.Y.; Insulated Technologies Corp. of Philadelphia, Pa. or any encapsulation method accomplished by one reasonably skilled in the art of microencapsulation technologies.
An additional feature of the invention is that the device, or components thereof, may be used to prevent the buildup of paraffin wax upon and in the well head and casings of producing oil wells (provided the container, sic., well casing or well head is comprised of materials containing the instant manufacture--which is now made possible); to remove or alter/treat specific confined oils (lipids or fats) or petroleum distillates, in systems such as back-wash processes, oil separation units, food processing systems (for the removal of specific esthers, monomers, polymers, co-polymers (cholesterol, for example, excess of which is injurious to human health, could be removed from processed cheeses or other dairy products), production of medical pharmaceuticals, eta., or in any situation where it may be desired to remove oil-based substances from standing or moving fluids; from manufacturing processes, or from processed solids, semi-solids or slurries (yogurt, for example).
Accordingly, the present invention provides encapsulated microbes or cryptobiotic microbes. The microbes possess the ability to produce chemical-degrading enzymes. Preferably, the microbes are capable of producing lipase (a hydrocarbon-degrading enzyme).
Preferably, the microencapsulated organisms are contained in a semipermeable, hydrophobic microsphere to protect the organisms from contact with aqueous fluids. The encapsulating microsphere of the present invention may be fabricated from a paraffin or paraffin-based substance(s). Preferably, the encapsulating microsphere of the present invention may is fabricated of beeswax, natural or synthesized. The microspheres preferably have a diameter between 0.20 and 1000 micrometers;
The microencapsulated organisms of the present invention may be sustained, if necessary, by organic or inorganic nutrients, particularly, fructose, glucose, and/or amulose. The microorganisms may be aerobic or anaerobic.
The present microencapsulated organism also preferably include an insulation coating, e.g., talc or powdered carbon.
Preferably, the encapsulated microbes are contained in a buoyant container to act as a flotation device. Preferably, the container has affixed thereupon fastening means or mechanisms. An example of a suitable fastening means is a Velcro� fastening system. The fastening means may also comprise of a manufactured orifice, slot or receptacle or a curved protrusion. The fastening means enables attachment of two or more similar flotation devices. The present invention thus provides an efficient and convenient delivery system enabling use of a single encapsulated-microbe-containing flotation device or multiple fastened devices.
The flotation device may be, for example, fabricated of plastic compartments. The flotation device may also have flotation means such as multiple layers or groupings of gas-filled microballoons to facilitate flotation. Such microballoons may, for example, be fabricated polyvinylchloride or polybutylcarbonate.
The floatation device may also include means of insulating the organisms from injury arising from environmental elements such as temperature extremes. The present invention may also include a signalling means comprising systems sufficient to inform the user as to the operability of the present invention, as exampled by the teachings of U.S. Pat. No. 4,424,911.
FIG. 1 is a plan view of part of one embodiment of the invention showing the organism 2 being encapsulated in a microshell 1 having an aspect ratio of 0.024 μm and an outside diameter of 30 μm (representative). The term "aspect ratio" refers to the ratio of the wall thickness (i.e., outer diameter minus inner diameter) to the inner diameter of the microsphere.
FIG. 1A is an elevational views of the microshell 1 containing the organism 2, the shell 1 being comprised of lipids, paraffin, or any other substance which will protect the organism from contacting the water, yet allowing osmosis of aromatic and non-aromatic hydrocarbons and N-alkanes across and through the microshell, enabling access to the proximity of the organism 2.
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the organism 2 and the microshell 1 containing a nutrient 4 suspended in a fluid (oil) 9 representative of how the crude oils, or constituent elements contained therein (N-alkanes, aromatic and non-aromatic hydrocarbons) act to move across the semipermeable microsphere and into the proximity of the organism.
FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the microshell 1 containing the organism 2 being contained in a sack or oblongated container 5 enabling easy placement of the combined devices into the proximity of small oil spills, e.g., those which might occur in foundries or machine shops. The significance of this embodiment is that in view of such placement ease of transportation and mobility is obtained, as is the added feature of reuse (the device is reusable so long as the organism has sufficient nutrient (oil, etc.). A similar object is now marketed under the Trademark of PIG manufactured by New Pig Corporation of Tipton, Pa. The PIG utilizes absorptive mechanisms clay) and certain fibres contained in flexible, oblongated sacks as a means of absorbing oil spills. The PIG performs well on land based oil spills, but not in water where oil has been accidentally spilled. A problem with the PIG is that, although it absorbes the oil, the PIG containing the oil then becomes a "pollutant" and must be dealt with accordingly. The present invention on the other hand, possesses a number of advantages over the present art in that it, i) will operate in both water and on land; ii) is reusable; and iii) is environmentally beneficial in that the microbial action of the present invention reduces the harmful elements of the hydrocarbon-bearing fluids to their base elements, hydrogen, carbon, etc., and returns same to the environment in a neutral, non-polluting state.
FIG. 3A is an elevational view of FIG. 3 showing the addition of floatation means 6 and locking mechanisms 7.
FIG. 4 is a representation drawing displaying how the instant manufacture may be used to prevent the build-up of paraffin wax in and upon the well head of producing oil wells; wherein the microshells 1 containing the organism 2 are contained in and comprise a specially designed fitting 10 or sieve 11 permitting retro-fit to existing well head structures 12.
With reference to FIG. 1, an example of the instant manufacture comprises a microscopic-sized container 1, or microballoon, such as may be produced though use of the Kornfeld Rotary Reactor, the Vanderhoff Reactor, or other such scintillating or rotary processes, which range in size from 0.20 μm to 1000 μm, comprised of a material, e.g., beeswax which is a hydrophobic, which will permit passage of petroleum substances to gain access to the organism, yet preventing entrance of water to the proximity of the organism.
With reference to FIG. 1A, an example of the microshell 1 containing the organism 2 is represented. The representative organism, C. lipolytica, for example, may be placed within the microballoon, as may certain nutrients 4 required to sustain the organism (oxygen, glucose, etc.), simultaneously with production of the microballoon.
With reference to FIGS. 1 and 1A, the substances, nutrients 4, contained within the microballoon may be ambient air, rarified gasses, nutrient gasses, or chemical nutrients, e.g. fructose or glucose. Further, the shell 1 may be comprised of any substance, being hydrophobic, capable of preventing entrance of undesired fluids from making contact with the organism contained in the microshell, yet which will permit passage of certain substances, e.g., esthers, phenols, glycols, isomers, polymers, monomers, etc. into the proximity of the organism. For example, the shell comprising the instant manufacture is comprised of paraffin based wax. In a future embodiment, beeswax, which possesses certain other desirable molecular properties which paraffin wax does not possess will be used to comprise the shells. The reason for this is apparent, as the molecular density of beeswax differs from that of paraffin-based wax. For example, it may be more desirable to use a shell made of beeswax for preventing the build-up of paraffin in well heads, or for treating spills in saltwater, as saltwater has a different density than freshwater and it may be desired to treat a spill which has settled to a certain level in salt and fresh waters, where the waters have been joined in a confluence.
For example, in Alaska, runoff water from melting glaciers is deposited into the ocean: At the point of interface of the freshwater with saltwater, a distinctly chemical difference in the waters is obvious (one fluid will "float" on the other--because of the difference in molecular densitites of both fluids). In this example one can see where the ability to control the density of the materials comprising the shell 1 is of significant import. In addition, it is possible to control the aspect ratio of the shell during the manufacturing phase. This is significant in terms of controlling the density of the final product(s) I plan to market. For example, the shell of the instant invention has an aspect ratio of 0.24 μm, and this feature of the device can be controlled during the manufacture process. It is further possible to control the thickness of the shell itself (some oils, e.g., crude would require the shell to be less dense, than, say phenols or esthers), while simultaneously controlling the overall size of the shell, both I.D. and O.D. Further, during the final phase of the manufacturing process, the device is "coated" with a substance, e.g., talc 8, which aids in cooling the microshell and further prevents one microshell from bonding to another by virtue of proximity. Although I teach the use of talc in the instant embodiment, other powdered substances, e.g., carbon powder, may be better suited than talc for such insulation/protection applications. The ideal coating is easily determined by one of reasonable skill, and it would be obvious for one to use any reliable insulator, which is what the talc 8 becomes when so applied, in reducing the instant manufacture to practice.
In FIG. 3 is represented a further aspect of the combined apparatus. In this embodiment the microshell 1 containing the organism 2 may be a component in a second novel embodiment comprising a porous, buoyant container 5, e.g., a sack, constructed of natural or man-made fibers, resins, plastics, isomers, monomers, polymers, mylar, etc. or any versions of a suitable container (oblongated, square, etc.) which may afford convenient transportation and placement of the product in the area requiring remediation, both on land and in fluids, e.g. oceans and seas.
FIG. 3 shows the embodiment of FIG. 3 having contained therein a flotation mechanism 6, together therewith at various points along the instant manufacture are located fastening mechanisms, e.g., Velcro fasteners, or slots (male and female eye/hook configuration) or other such fastening mechanisms (snap button fasteners) which enable placement of a number of buoyant mechanisms of the present invention in a straight line, in a circle or a solid sheet, or in any shape which would be to the advantage of the user in terms of confining and remediating a dangerous fluid spill. For example, in the case of a spill at sea, a quantity of buoyant mechanisms of the present invention could be linked together surrounding and thereby containing the spill, thereby permitting the microshells containing the organism to function to dissolve the spill, thereby preventing devastation to the biosphere and ecosystems of the sea.
Likewise on land, an accidental spill could be encircled (preventing migration) and subsequently the entire spill area could be covered with buoyant mechanisms of the present invention configured into the shape of a tarpaulin, mitigating the severity of the incident to a minimum.
Although I claim a compartment comprising a floatation device, another aspect of the floatation device actually comprises additional microshells 1 which may be filled with buoyant gasses enabling floatation, thereby eliminating the need for separate buoyancy compartments. However, these compartments are desirable for obvious reasons.

Chargers' payroll significantly higher for 2011
Big spenders
The Chargers committed nearly $55 million in 2011 salary and bonuses to veteran free agents:
Player … Money
Eric Weddle … $14 million
a-Vincent Jackson … $11.424 million
Jeromey Clary … $8.6 million
Takeo Spikes … $3.625 million
Billy Volek … $2.5 million
Malcom Floyd … $2 million
b-Bob Sanders … $2 million
c-Mike Tolbert … $1.835 million
Antwan Barnes … $1.6 million
Travis LaBoy … $1.4 million
Jacques Cesaire … $1.31 million
Dante Hughes … $1 million
Scott Mruczkowski … $985,000
Randy McMichael … $810,000
Stephen Cooper … $810,000
Kelley Washington … $810,000
a-Franchise player
b-Agreed to terms in March
c-Restricted free agent
The Chargers brass had quietly yet consistently indicated over the past couple years that team president Dean Spanos would open his wallet once the new Collective Bargaining Agreement was in place.
Spanos wasted no time, trusting his lieutenants with the wallet, the vault and the cookie jar to the point that the Chargers committed $39.45 million in 2011 salary and bonuses to 13 veteran players in the 2½ weeks after the NFL lockout ended.
That figure is based on the 2011 "cash" committed to veteran free agents expected to make the team but does not include the $11.424 million guaranteed to franchise player Vincent Jackson, $1.835 million to restricted free agent Mike Tolbert or $2 million to safety Bob Sanders, who agreed to terms in March but signed on Aug. 4. Cash to those three players puts the one-year money spent on veteran free agents since July 28 at $54.709 million.
Always frugal – though never quite as cheap as portrayed by some -- the Chargers this year went on a spending spree that was monumental by their standards.
For the record, the Chargers' payroll is at 97.7 percent of the salary cap. All that means is that they found a way to structure contracts so as to fit under the $120.375 million cap. (For instance, the cash commitment to Eric Weddle this year is $14 million, but his cap number is just $3.6 million, as his $13 million signing bonus is prorated over five years for purposes of the cap. And right tackle Jeromey Clary counts just $3.5 million against the cap, as his $6.8 million signing bonus is prorated.)
The Chargers' opening-day cash commitment for 2011, regardless of the precise makeup of the final 53-man roster, will be over $132 million. That represents a nearly $25 million increase over the 2011 opening-day roster, and it comes despite the new CBA meaning the Chargers committed approximately $2 million less in first-year money to their eight 2011 draft picks than they did to their six picks in '10.
It is not known where the Chargers rank in cash spending this season, though it is believed the $132 million would put them in the top 10.
What they did to get there is unprecedented in general manager A.J. Smith's tenure.
The Chargers signed just five free agents before the 2010 season, including street free agents and re-signing of their own players, at a cost of slightly more than $4 million. In fact, the Chargers did more over the past three weeks in free agency than they did from 2005-10.
That inactivity being noted, the team had in the previous two years extended the contracts of quarterback Philip Rivers, tight end Antonio Gates and left tackle Marcus McNeill at a combined average annual cost of almost $30 million through 2015.
And the Chargers' current salary report indicates the emphasis they have placed on building the offense. The five top-paid players and 11 of the top 16 -- based on each player's 2011 cap number -- play offense.

Gaza Collects Haiti Aid, Says It Was Similarly Shaken by Israel
Gaza drive comes as West Bank-ruling PA says will also send Haiti aid in wake of deadly earthquake.
Palestinians in Gaza are offering donations and financial support for the victims of Haiti's devastating earthquake at the Strip's Red Cross headquarters, the Palestinian Ma'an news agency reported on Monday.
The Ma'an reported said that Gazan family members of Palestinians imprisoned in Israel also participated in the effort, offering financial donations and goods such as blankets and covers, as well as food and milk for children.
The report comes after the Palestinian Authority, which controls the West Bank, said that it intended send humanitarian to Haiti in the wake of the devastating earthquake which all but leveled the island's capital city, adding that it was working to ensure the safety of members of the Palestinian community residing on the island.
Head of the Committee to Break the Siege Jamal Al-Khudary said "people may be astonished at our ability to collect donations from our people [in Gaza]; we tell them that this is a humanitarian campaign and our people love life and peace ?"
"We are here today supporting the victims of Haiti ? we feel for them the most because we were exposed to our own earthquake during Israel?s war on Gaza."
The Red Cross director was only able to accept financial donations as transferring goods out of the Strip is near impossible, Al-Khudary added.
Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of Haitians were still struggling on Monday to find food and shelter in the wake of last week's earthquake, as international aid agencies reported a severe lack in supplies despite the overwhelming demand.
"There is little sign of significant aid distribution," said a representative of the Geneva-based Doctors Without Borders.
The aid group also complained of skewed priorities and a supply bottleneck at the U.S.-controlled airport, and urged the U.S. military to be clear on its prioritization of medical supplies and equipment.
Also on Monday, the Israeli rescue team dispatched to search for people trapped in the rubble of the deadly earthquake were said to have ceased their efforts, deeming the chances of finding more survivors after four days very slim.
The Home Front Command's delegation will remain on hand on Thursday to deliver any necessary medical aid.
Earlier Monday, UN peacekeeping chief Alain Le Roy said he planned to ask the Security Council to temporarily increase the UN's force. There are currently about 7,000 UN military peacekeepers and 2,100 international police in Haiti.
The troop increase and an expected request to the UN for more peacekeepers were coming a day after sporadic violence and looting in Port-au-Prince underscored how an uptick in water and food deliveries still fell far short of demand.
"We don't need military aid. What we need is food and shelter," one young man yelled at UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon during his visit to the city Sunday. "We are dying," a woman told him, explaining she and her five children didn't have any food.
Haitian riot police meanwhile fired tear gas to disperse crowds of looters in the city's downtown as several nearby shops burned. Police stopped reporters from heading into the center of Port-au- Prince around LaVille, near the presidential palace, because of shooting and riots.
"They are shooting everybody, journalists, policemen. There are the bad guys," said one Haitian police officer said.

I got to thinking about this at work today and just wanted to hear some opinions. ISU is definately in the "have-nots" in the Big 12 when it comes to wins, athletic budget, location and tradition. The one thing that we definately have in our favor is academics. I'm wondering what happens when a coach visits an athletes home. Is it possible for a coach to bring along an academic advisor, since the prospect is a "student-athlete"? An excerpt from the NCAA recruiting guidelines:
Head Football Coach Restrictions - Off-Campus Contact - Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A)The head coach may make in-person, off-campus contact with a prospect or the prospects relatives or legal guardian(s) only during one calendar day. It is permissible for this contact to occur both at the
site of the prospects educational institution and away from the institutional grounds. During such contact, the head coach may be accompanied by an assistant(s) who otherwise is required to observe the restrictions contained in the bylaws.
Would ISU be permitted to bring along someone from the Hixon-Lied Student-Athlete Building to discuss potential classes and show not only the student, but mom and dad that ISU has the tools to make their child a success in the classroom as well as on the field? I'm sure this kind of thing is currently going on, but I just wanted to know what your thoughts/opinions/sarcasms are, or if you could enlighten me on the subject - it's something that really never gets talked about on recruiting web sites.
