Instead of talking about his troubles, this Hamlet sings about them.
Veteran Canadian baritone Theodore Baerg will give his first performance as the title character in Ambroise Thomas's opera Hamlet at Dominion-Chalmers Church Sunday, in a concert version presented by Opera Lyra Ottawa.
Opera Lyra presents two fully staged productions each season at the National Arts Centre, and last year began presenting an annual concert production as a way of offering a third opera, on a smaller scale. The first was Thomas's Mignon.
Concert performances are accompanied by piano and are performed in concert attire. Audiences hear the full opera, but without costly sets, costumes and orchestra.
Stuart Hamilton, the Toronto pianist and vocal coach known for his appearances as quizmaster on CBC Radio's Saturday Afternoon at the Opera, will narrate the performance and set up the scenes, as he did last year for Mignon. As CBC Radio listeners know, Hamilton is a fanatic for French opera.
Music director Tadeusz Biernacki will direct the performance from the piano. In addition to Baerg, the production will include soprano Nikki Einfeld as Ophelia, bass Valerian Ruminski as Claudius, mezzo-soprano Anita Krause as Gertrude, bass-baritone Taras Kulish as the Ghost,
Ottawa tenor Dillon Parmer as Laertes and the Opera Lyra Ottawa Chorus.
After wrapping up a rehearsal Tuesday at the church, Baerg told the Citizen he's excited about the role.
"The opera is rarely staged, but it's a great role. When I was first asked to do it and took a look at the score, I went, 'Oh man, there's a lot of music.' It's not as big as Rigoletto, say, but it's every bit as big as Barber. That makes it exciting, and I'm looking forward to it."
Audiences who don't know the opera, he says, can look forward to "the great romanticism that French opera has. There are some great melodies and a lot of warmth. I'd say my relationship with Ophelia, musically, is a good bit sweeter than it actually is in the play."
Baerg has sung other operas in concert performances, and he says the format "is a good way to do operas that would probably not otherwise be done."
Without sets and costumes, he says, "the audience is challenged to imagine what's happening. They get a different perspective. There is nothing to fill out all that stuff that happens on stage. The onus is on the audience and on us to meet on a slightly different level, and a very interesting one. It's not oratorio, it's not full opera. It's something in between."
For Baerg, the big challenge in Hamlet "is not so much any one scene but the contrast between scenes, from quiet to anger. Hamlet lives a little bit on the dark side. He has a propensity for huge outbursts, followed by gentleness. That contrast is the real challenge."
The performance starts at 2 p.m. Sunday at the church, O'Connor Street at Cooper. Tickets, $40, can be ordered at 613-233-9200, ext. 221. They will also be sold at the door. Information: www.operalyra.ca.

The concert starts at 8 p.m. at Saint Brigid's Centre for the Arts and Humanities, 310 St. Patrick St. Tickets, $20 general, $10 for students, are on sale at the university's department of music (Room 103 in the Pérez Building, 610 Cumberland St.).

Why it takes so long to achieve social media success
Aug 31st
If you're impatient, social media is probably the wrong marketing channel for you. Here's a chart that illustrates why.
This is data from the recent research released by Social Media Examiner. This is not a scientific study, but it is a view from nearly 4,000 marketers, skewed toward small businesses. So we can't regard it as absolute truth but it is probably directionally correct. Let's take a close look at what we can learn from the feedback provided by these active social media marketers.
First, let's examine the expectations they have from their social media initiatives:
A pretty comprehensive list. It's interesting that "soft benefits" like awareness and loyalty are at the top of the chart when everybody seems to be preoccupied with ROI. Perhaps marketers are beginning to finally acknowledge the important qualitative benefits of social media marketing.
Social media success takes time
Now let's refer to the chart at the top of the post again. When we compare a soft benefit like awareness with a "hard" benefit like sales, we see that most people even just starting with social media recognize an immediate benefit on the awareness front. In fact about 80 percent saw results in the first year compared to 35 percent who saw an increase in sales right out of the gate.
This chart would imply that you have to work hard on your social media marketing for at least 3-4 years before most businesses see an impact on sales. And the most successful businesses realizing a true ROI may have been at it five years or more, a category where 70 percent of the respondents could see an increase in sales.
Weak relational links
Why does it take so long for the sales to kick in?
One of the biggest problems many businesses face is they compare social media marketing efforts with advertising. That is an inaccurate comparsion because the mechanisms and benefits are different. If you need to drive rapid awareness or pump up sales with a coupon, advertising still works really well (assuming people see your ads!).
While social media has many benefits including marketing research, customer service, and collaboration, for many businesses it's primarily about building relationships that lead to sales. But social media connections are weak relational links. Social media platforms simply open new doors, and it takes time to turn those connections into strong links that are actionable.
Instead of comparing social media marketing to advertisng, it might be more accurate comparing it to the benefits of attending an annual trade show or networking meeting where it takes time to build relationships that lead to sales.
So yes, the immediate benefit of social media marketing is awareness and that is IMPORTANT because awareness leads to engagement. Over time, that engagement may result in trust. And it's not until we get to that point that we can begin seeing some cash coming in the door … maybe years down the line.
This is why social media marketing can be a hard sell to executives who are accustomed to the overnight results of advertising. Unfortunately, many traditional kinds of advertising present diminishing returns as people spend less time with newspapers, local radio, and network television. For this reason, it makes good sense to start moving up that social media sales curve now, right?

Your social media strategy plan: Where do you START?
Sep 30th
When I work with businesses, there is often an enthusiastic attitude about moving on to the social web but confusion about how to actually get started. Today's post provides a step-by-step overview on how to move ahead. Headline links at the beginning of each section will take you to more detailed posts if you want to learn more about each specific step!
And by the way, your social media initiative doesn't start with a Facebookpage. It must start with …
1. Marketing strategy
I know this seems so basic but there is no way to have an effective social media marketing strategy if you don't have a company marketing strategy to begin with … and many companies don't!
Here is a trick to see if you truly have a marketing strategy. Can you finish this sentence: "Only we …"
To do that, you need to know your true differentiators, your customer's un-met and under-served needs, and the competitive landscape. If you can answer that question, your marketing strategy more or less reveals itself, including the role of the social web in the marketing mix.
2. Assess the company culture
You might be wondering what the company culture has to do with social media success. In a word, "everything." If your company is uptight and conservative, your social media presence will be uptight and conservative. If you are open and customer-oriented, your online personality will come across that way too.
To create realistic expectations, you better look at the role of IT, legal, HR and company leadership in this journey. Are they ready to be publishers? Are they ready to engage with the public?
3. Social media lead team
If you are in a large company, I would recommend creating a team of leaders to oversee the progress of the initiative and address problems as they emerge. This is also an opportunity for education and to promote internal successes.
4. Social media policy
Any company, large or small needs to have a social media policy. This provides the groundrules and sets expectations of employees interactions and engagement, It should also provide a detailed action plan if something goes wrong.
5. Identify sources of rich content
Content is the catalyst for business benefits on the web but not all content is created equal. If your strategy is to establish a voice of authority (you should) and have an opportunity for massive reach, Facebook posts or LinkedIn updates probably aren't going to cut it. You need something deeper. You need rich content.
For most businesses, this means a blog, a podcast, a video series, or perhaps a combination. If you are a visually-oriented business like fashion or travel, Pinterest or Instagram might be options too, but generally to really create powerful content benefits, most businesses turn to a blog, podcast, or video. What might work best in your company culture?
6. Considering social media measurement
Here is an exercise I use to get a leadership team focused on real business results. Ask them "If we meet in this room a year from now and you are telling me how successful our social media marketing effort has been … what would have happened?"
This usually sparks a good discussion that leads to a commitment on what you are actually trying to achieve. Then, it is up to you to find indicators in your data that demonstrate progress toward those goals.
And please, consider the tangible and important qualitative measurements of progress, which may create more business benefits in the long run than something you can stick on a spreadsheet.
7. Develop a social media network strategy
Behind every social media strategy there is a content strategy and a network strategy. Most companies "get" the content part but generally take a passive approach to building an audience. But this is crucial. Your content isn't optimized to work for you unless it MOVES through the network, creating opportunities for awareness and engagement. You must ignite your content.
Building your network must be strategic, purposeful, and continuous. As you discover WHERE your customers and prospects are, it will help you identify your …
8. Information eco-system
Only now are we beginning to look at the actual platforms we need to populate — where will we post our rich content, where will we engage?
Choosing the right platforms is a very important decision because most companies don't have the resources to be everywhere and do it well.
While it may seem natural to immediately migrate to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, don't overlook other sites and even industry-specific platforms if you are in a market where competitors have a well-established social media presence. Newer options like Pinterest are delivering real business value and even old-school platforms like chat rooms are still very popular and effective places for content that might be off the radar screen.
Well, that should get you started! What do you think? What did I miss?

A 6-step plan to determine your social media strategy
May 8th
I hope you enjoy this little slide show and if you like these ideas, you can get the full version of the six-step strategy in my new book, Social Media Explained: Untangling the World's Most Misunderstood Business Trend. If you are in charge of marketing strategy for your organization, this is an entirely new way to look at social media and its place in the marketing mix.
Moving your business from digital grief to social media enlightenment
Oct 24th
I'm sure may of you can remember a time not so long ago when we didn't have websites.
In the late 1980s there was an absolute frenzy to get on the web … and figure out how to make money from it. As we moved from methods of communication based on printed materials to digital materials, many of us went through the New Technology Stages of Grief:
Denial — "This whole internet thing will blow over."
Anger — "What do you mean go digital? Do you know how much money we make from these print catalogs?"
Bargaining — "OK, maybe we can live in both worlds?"
Depression — "You mean I have to shut down the print design department?"
Acceptance — "OK, I get it now. Let's move with this new website!"
If you were around in those days, you'll probably recognize those same stages occurring in your organization with the social media wave today.
But the dawn of acceptance portends a new problem — the gold rush. Once companies decided to go all-in on the Internet, it created a frenzy that led to irrational decisions driven by a fear of being left behind. Maybe that sounds familiar now, too?
In the 1990s, the transition from gold rush to strategic success only began to occur when companies started to break this new technology down into "success components" that enabled their strategic direction. For a website, this might mean:
- Better customer service through 24 x 7 online access
- eCommerce that provided convenience and access to vast new audiences
- A repository of information to answer questions and cut service costs
Today, many companies are still struggling to see where social media fits strategically because they are in the gold rush phase instead of considering the possibilities created by these new, unique "success components:"
- An opportunity to create small, consistent interactions through content that lead to awareness, engagement, connection, and loyalty
- A mechanism to re-gain direct ownership of a customer relationship
- An effective channel for customer service
- An opportunity to "tune-in" to customer sentiment, feedback, and competitive intelligence.
Instead of thinking narrowly about the "need to put up a Facebook page," perhaps it is time to evolve in our thinking and consider how the success components embedded in these platforms can align with our specific business objectives. At that point, we will be moving out of social media depression and on to a path of business success!
How do these ideas land on you? Let me know what you think in the comment section!

GPs face greater scrutiny over pharmacy ownership
Business Despite the GMC ramping up its guidelines in an effort to ease concerns over dubious business ethics, law firm Charles Russell was uncertain how closely the regulator would monitor GP-owned pharmacies.
The General Medical Council (GMC) is facing increasing pressure to address dubious business ethics, a leading healthcare lawyer has warned, as the regulator sets out further guidance on doctors' financial dealings with pharmacies.
David Reissner, head of healthcare at law firm Charles Russell, cautiously welcomed the GMC's decision to update its guidance later this month to give more detail on doctors' business interests in pharmacies.
"There is no real evidence that GP pharmacies act in any different way to other pharmacies" Laurence Buckman, BMA

IPF slams RPS for 'inappropriate and wrong' comments on GP in-house pharmacists
The GMC told C+D last week that the new guidelines would build on previous guidance, which had emphasised the importance of patient choice and warned against directing prescriptions.
But Mr Reissner said it remained to be seen whether the GMC would take action on its guidelines, due to be published on March 25.
Earlier this week, Charles Russell reported receiving an "increasing number of enquiries" about GPs' commercial activities, including allegations of directing prescriptions and anti-competitive prices.
"It's good news to know that the GMC is going to address these issues in more detail, although we will have to await the new guidance to know what protections will be in place to address inappropriate financial conduct by GPs," said Mr Reissner. "The GMC may find it is increasingly asked to step in to address such conduct in future, and we will have to see if it is willing to take action."
Last month, pharmacy leaders expressed fresh doubts over the ethics of GP-owned pharmacies, as LPCs and C+D readers reported dubious practices.
But the British Medical Association (BMA) maintained that conflicts of interest in GP-owned pharmacies were already "closely monitored on all sides".
"For GPs, there is the added stipulation that failing to declare an interest when taking a prescribing decision is a GMC offence, as well as a breach of BMA guidelines," said Laurence Buckman, chair of the BMA's GP committee. "There is no real evidence that GP pharmacies act in any different way to other pharmacies."
Mike Dixon, GP and chair of NHS Alliance, told C+D he had not personally come across GPs behaving unethically in their dealings with pharmacies. But he stressed that the GMC should come down hard on anyone breaching their guidelines.
"I don't think, in principle, I see a problem with [doctors owning pharmacies] but, in practice, it's all about transparency," Mr Dixon said. "I think the GMC will need to get tough where people are clearly taking financial advantage and patients aren't aware of what's happening."
The GMC previously covered doctors' interests in pharmacies in its Good Medical Practice guidance. On March 25, it will publish separate guidance on financial and commercial dealings and conflicts of interest, which will include a section on pharmacies.
What areas would you like the forthcoming GMC guidance on commercial dealings to cover?

COSTA MESA – Businesses in this city may be required to verify the immigration status of employees as a condition of their business permits, if the city takes action on an idea brought up Tuesday night at a City Council meeting.
The city approved funding Tuesday for research into the legality of the requirement, at Mayor Allan Mansoor's request.
Without committing to support an eventual proposal, Councilwoman Katrina Foley said that she'd support the research, because "it's important to understand what we're getting ourselves into."
Council candidate Chris McEvoy questioned whether such a requirement could be enforced, or whether it would be "just another hoop that businesses are going to have to jump through."
"We're getting this reputation in the city, and it's hurting us," McEvoy said. "Let's not make that the only flag we fly."
City Attorney Kimberly Hall Barlow was asked to research the legality of requiring city businesses to use E-Verify, a free online federal system that allows employers to check the validity of a new hire's Social Security number to determine whether he or she is authorized to work in the United States.
At a meeting in September, the council discussed three aspects of an eventual plan, using E-Verify in hiring city staff, requiring city contractors and vendors to use it, and requiring all businesses in the city to use it.
Several Orange County cities, such as Mission Viejo and Yorba Linda, have made E-Verify mandatory in city hiring and for those employers looking to contract with the city, but City Manager Allan Roeder said in September that only two local jurisdictions nationwide are known to have made it a requirement for all businesses: Lancaster, Calif. and Beaufort County, South Carolina.
Beaufort County randomly audits businesses to enforce the measure.
In September, Roeder said there would need to be "substantial" legal review before imposing the requirement on businesses.
"Irrespective of what Lancaster and others do, business licensing has never been regulatory in nature," Roeder said. "This changes the very foundation of the business license program."
If the council decides to require businesses to use E-Verify, it would then need to decide whether to actively enforce the law, which would require hiring new staff, or whether to just respond to complaints, Roeder said.
He gave the example of the city's drug-free workplace law, which applies to city businesses but is not actively enforced.
"This just seems more symbolic than anything else," Councilwoman Katrina Foley said then. "Somebody just checks a box on an application."
E-Verify started in 1996 as a pilot program in seven states. It was expanded to all 50 states in 2004.
A little more than 1 percent of Orange County's roughly 95,000 employers had signed up for E-Verify as of Jan. 26 of this year, when comparing employment and Department of Homeland Security data.
Currently, the computer program is only mandatory for businesses contracting with the federal government. The program is completely voluntary for other employers, though they're encouraged to use it.
In O.C., only a few cities -- such as Orange, Brea and Buena Park – have enrolled with E-Verify.

Sites are all shaded, large, paved level back-ins, electric/water - no sewer (one dump nearby). The park is quiet with good hiking/horse trails. Picnic tables are extra large. Clackamus River runs through the park. Only 30 amp service and low voltage in the early mornings - trips our surge protector between 8-9am. Great, helpful camp hosts. Views are limited because of all the trees, but lots of green. Mount Hood is nearby. Definitely stay here again. - Livermorered

This is a very nice park, well taken care of, sites are nicely spaced, with power and water for $24.00 night. Lots of walking and horse trails, even a big off leash dog area, horse corals, and disk golf course. Very clean bathroom with free showers. ATT cells works well, was able to get internet through the cell, no dirTv. Note to any one going to Oregon State Parks, they're all on one night at a time or by reservations, makes it kind of hard to just stop in and pick a site for a few nights at a time. All in all great park, I would stay again if in area. We have been told the fishing great!! - laears

My Journey as a Mom of 2 + Twins (blog)
Moe ('03) Emily ('04)
Ally and Baily ('09) Identical twin girls
fraternal twin girls N&A 18/06/13
But I met an elderly twin mom a while ago. And she said that she looks back and is still amazed that she survived. Her twins are now 45!
Hang in there... It does get better!
I was miserable those first few months. Hated the girls, hated my life, I ran away from home as often as family members would come over and let me out. I'd cry when my hour or two of freedom was over and I had to go back. I sobbed each night before my husband was scheduled to be at work the next day. It was simply awful.
Who you are for the first 6 months and how you manage to survive does not define what kind of mother you will be for the rest of your life. Right now, it really is about survival. If that means ordering pizza every night, or taking a shower just to drown out the crying for 7 minutes, or putting them in swings or bouncy chairs as often as possible just to get them off you, it's ok. For another 8-12 weeks, they aren't really capable of learning, so don't worry about establishing any habits, or whatever else all those "great moms" say you need to be doing.
Join your local Moms of Multiples and reach out there for help. Most "helpers" don't really understand what actually needs to happen in order to be helpful. But other twin moms, man, they'll come in and get shit done for you.
Formula is not evil. If a bottle or two of formula a day will make your life more liveable, it's ok.
Remember, you have preemies, two of them. All the other moms on your birth board or whatever who are doing baby yoga or whatever hooziwhatsits, they have one full term baby. That's fucking easy compared to two preemies.
This is temporary. Around 12weeks adjusted age, things will suddenly click and they will sleep longer stretches and eat a little less often. That's when you start becoming yourself again.

This invention relates to a thin walled tubing formed of a melt spinnable synthetic polymer as well as to a process for its manufacture. The term "thin walled tubing" in the sense of the invention is to be understood to mean a hollow cylindrical structure of optional length having a circular or elliptical cross-section which over its longitudinal and radial direction has an essentially constant wall thickness amounting to less than about 15% of the largest outside dimension of the tubing. The circular cross-section in this connection corresponds to the largest outside dimension of the outer diameter and the elliptical cross-section corresponds to the largest outer axis.
The known thin walled tubing which for instance is utilized for the manufacture of heat exchange apparatus consists as a rule of tubing having a circular cross-section with an outside diameter of about 40-1000 μm or more and having a wall thickness of about 5-50 μm or more. Thin walled tubing of this type has been described for instance in Canadian Patent Specification No. 796,181, Swiss Patent Specification No. 442-379 and Great Britian Patent Specification No. 1,314,820.
The manufacture of such thin walled tubing takes place as a rule at relatively slow spinning speeds, i.e. speeds of much less than 1000 m/min. giving rise to tubing having a breaking elongation of, as a rule, well over 200% and characterized by unsatisfactory tensile strength. The drawing of these known products with the objective of increasing the tensile strength introduces into the manufacturing processes difficulties (reduced drawing speeds) and results generally besides in that the thin-walled tubing on the loss of its free flow-through cross-section collapses and/or the tubing wall becomes damaged so that the final tubing products no longer can be used for its intended application.
Accordingly it is an object of the present invention to provide a simple and economically feasible process for manufacturing thin walled tubing possessed of increased strength characteristics and at the same time of large flow-through cross-sections and an intact undamaged tubular wall.
It is another object of the invention to provide thin walled tubing on the basis of melt spinnable synthetic polymers characterized by increased strength properties, large flow-through cross-sections and undamaged tubular walls.
A further object of the invention is to provide a process allowing for the manufacture of thin walled tubing without the necessity for additional drawing and which can be operated with considerably higher take-off speeds of the spun tubing than heretofore has been possible.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide a process eliminating the costly and time-consuming delays in the manufacture of thin-walled tubing.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be obvious from the following detailed discussion with reference to the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a high-speed spinning installation with the take-off means located under and perpendicular to the spinning nozzle;
FIG. 2 is a schematic representation of an arrangement wherein the take-off means is positioned laterally to the spinning nozzle (positioned at different heights);
FIG. 3 is an enlarged section of a freshly spun thin walled tube in the range of the natural fiber bending; and
FIG. 4 is a cross-section through a finished thin walled tubing.
In accordance with the invention there are provided thin walled tubing of increased strength, unimpaired wall structure, and enlarged throughput cross-sections utilizing a process involving high-speed melt spinning and more particularly rapid take-off speeds of the spun polymer.
It must be considered most surprising that such delicate structures as herein contemplated can be manufactured utilizing such high take-off speeds, i.e. utilizing take-off speeds not heretofore contemplated and which at this time are the highest obtainable, and namely amounting to 3500 m/min. or more, and that this process in addition provides thin walled tubing products of an extremely high qualitative value.
A distinguishing characteristic of the thin walled tubing products produced by the rapid spinning in accordance with the invention is that they are possessed of breaking in elongations of less than 100%.
The thin walled tubing in accordance with the invention are also characterized by flow-through cross-sections amounting to 30 to 95% of the total tubular cross-section. Preferably, the thin walled tubing of the invention has a through-flow cross-section amount to 60 to 95% of the total tubular cross-section.
The thin walled tubing of the invention can be made from any and all of the currently available melt spinnable polymers. Especially suitable for the purposes of the invention because of the specific end use properties imparted to the final product are the polyamides, for instance polycaprolactam and polyhexamethyleneadipicacidamide; the polyesters, for instance polyethyleneterephthalate, the polyolefins, for instance polyethylene and polypropylene and polyvinylchloride.
On account of their chemical stability especially in connection with their use in foodstuff applications and for holding carbonic acid containing liquids there come into consideration the polyesters and especially polyethyleneterephthalate. If chemical stability as well as temperature stability are required for the end use application, it is preferred that the tubing be made of polyolefin and preferably of polypropylene.
In the case where higher strength values are desired, the tubing is preferably made on the basis of a polyamide and preferably in this case from polyhexamethyleneadipicacidamide.
The polymeric materials can additionally contain stabilizers, carbon black or other like fillers, pore forming agents and other similar additives.
As produced the tubing conventionally possesses an outer wall which is impermeable to fluids. If the tubings are intended for use as filtering units it is, however, advantageous that the thin-walled tubes be provided with microporous outer walls. This is accomplished by providing in the polymer melt suitable pore forming agents.
It has already been mentioned that the tubings in accordance with the invention in contrast with the state of the art which provides that spinning speeds of under 1000 m/min. be utilized (see German Auslegeschrift No. 2,630,374) are conducted by a high-speed spinning procedure. The take-off speeds in accordance with the invention are greater than 3500 m/min. and preferably amount to 5000-7000 m/min. These take-off speeds which represent a multiple of the heretofore used working speeds provide thin walled tubing having increased strength and which formerly could only be realized through including in the process additional but difficult after drawing steps. Such high take-off speeds as contemplated require especially if large cross-sections and high wall strengths are important that there be provided for increased polymer throughputs and considerable spinning heights (distance of the spinning nozzle ./. take-off means).
In accordance with a preferred embodiment for carrying out the process of the invention, the spinning height is decreased by the use of the phenomena of natural fiber bending or deflection.
This phenomena of natural fiber bending (deflection) in general is associated with and occurs in all melt spinning of fibers on the basis of synthetic polymers at a more or less greater distance from the spinning nozzle if the take-off means which is conventionally arranged in a substantially perpendicular position directly under the spinning nozzle is moved out from this position to a side position relative to the spinning nozzle. The bending phenomena is clearly visible, for instance in the manufacture of a mono filament polyester fiber having an endtiter of 100 d tex which is drawn off at a speed of 3700 m/min. the take-off means which is arranged under and perpendicular to the spinning nozzle is gradually moved in a horizontal direction and possibly simultaneously is raised in the vertical direction.
In spite of the thusly modified position of the take-off means (spool or reel winde-up device), the fiber moves below the spinning nozzle over a fixed vertical distance and then is bent or deflected in the direction of the take-off means. The range or region of this "natural" fiber bending which takes place without any additional mechanical fiber conducting or directing means extends only for a distance of a few centimeters and does not change substantially even if position of the take-off device is markedly altered. The place or the region of the "natural fiber bending" can be varied through changing the spinning conditions, for example it can be shifted by increasing the melt throughput of the spinning nozzle. This phenomenon also appears by high-speed spinning of thin-walled tubings.
Under use of this phenomenon the spinning height (distance between the spinning nozzle ./. take-off means) can be lowered, i.e. one can with the installed spinning height utilize side or laterally positioned take-off means at increased polymer throughputs and rely on the phenomena of natural fiber bending or one can use a constant polymer throughput with a suitably reduced spinning chamber height and achieve the objectives of the invention. Generally expressed one can with the help of this phenomena of natural fiber bending utilize high polymer throughputs without having to provide for a subsequent cooling of the spun tubing or for after stretching or drawing of the spun tubing. In German Offenlegungsschrift 26 38 662 there has been proposed that conventional melt spun fibers directly at the bottom end of the blowing shaft be laterally drawn off and then fed to a diagonally located wind-up device that for instance can be located near the extruder. Assuming that this takes place with the help of a take-off galette there has in the known process by the time of the deflection of the spun melt already taken place in the blow shaft a recrystallization of the fibers so that the fiber is no longer viscous and is so stable that one can mechanically handle it, i.e. natural bending is out of the question.
In contrast to this known proposal, the process in accordance with the invention relies on the phenomena of natural fiber bending and, therefore, provision for the bending to take place is provided for essentially nearer to the spinning nozzle, i.e. at a region of the tubing where the tubing per se is still deformable and where for all practical purposes it cannot be mechanically handled. Thus, a polyester tube in this specific region at a temperature of about 150∞ C. has a crystallization degree of less than 10%. If one attempts to mechanically turn the tubing in this range there results because of the sticking of the tube to the fiber turning device an immediate breakage in the spun tubing.
In contrast to the known proposals the process of the invention permits in accordance with the aforesaid teaching through the phenomena of natural fiber bending to operate with a substantial reduction of the spinning height. By use of this phenomena of the natural fiber bending there is further established that following the region of the natural fiber bending still another region lies in which the crystallinity and the double refraction of the tubing is clearly increased. In this region there can be carried out an after-drawing of the tubing by a factor of about 2-3. This results in an improvement of the textile properties of the tubing and in an extension of its usefullness. This is advantageously achieved if the distance of the take-off device is regulated with a view to the region of the natural fiber bending, i.e. if the distance of the take-off device from the bending device is selected so as to be sufficiently large that the tubing can be subjected to an after-drawing.
As has already been mentioned it is not possible in the range of the natural fiber bending of the spun tubing to bend mechanically, that is by means of a turning device to turn the fiber. It has been surprisingly found that the results can be improved through the arrangement of a deflecting plate or baffle under and perpendicular to the spinning nozzle in the range of the natural fiber bending and closer to the spinning nozzle. This embodiment permits a further shortening of the spinning height of up to a meter.
Further it has been found that the tube properties can be improved if the region of the natural fiber bending is carried out in a cooling liquid, for instance if a smaller water trough is arranged, for instance at the point in the system where the mentioned deflecting or baffle plate has been installed.
In producing stable formed tubes having large outer measurements and very small wall thicknesses, it has been found particularly advantageous if in the spinning of the thin walled tubing out of the nozzle a cavity forming fluid and preferably a gas is blown into the tubing.
The invention will be better understood by reference to the accompanying drawings. As can be seen from FIG. 1, a melt is extruded from a spinning nozzle 1 into a downshaft 2 in the upper portion of which blowing means not here illustrated can be provided. The freshly spun thin walled tubing 3 is after a delay during which it undergoes some hardening and is sufficiently cooled down, delivered to a drawing or take-off means, in this instance a spool or reel aggregate 4 which here is positioned in base position I under and perpendicular to the spinning nozzle. The tubing 3 runs thereby with little or no deviation from the spinning nozzle to the spool aggregate 4 located under and perpendicular to the spinning nozzle and is eventually wound-up thereon. If in accordance with the invention there is made use of "the phenomena of the natural fiber bending" then the spool aggregate 4 is shifted from the base position I (FIG. 1) outwardly and to the side to position II as shown in FIG. 2. The tubing 3 then moves not as what to have been expected in a parabela form or similar curve, i.e. freely dipping from the spinning nozzle 1 to the take-up spool aggregate 4, but it proceeds first in a direction perpendicular to the spinning nozzle as if the spool aggregate was located in the base position I. Then there is observed in the tubing a range 3a in which the tubing bends laterally away from the spool aggregate 4 and thereafter bends again in a circular-like arch into a path which leads in a practically straight line to the spool aggregate 4. This tube section is designated as 3b and is shown in the drawing by reference numeral II to the position II of the spool aggregate 4.
If the spool aggregate 4 is raised to either of the positions III or IV, then at constant spinning conditions the position or location of the region 3 is changed hardly if at all. Only the form of the bending as can be seen from the detail in FIG. 3 is changed on account of the reduction of the angle between the portion 3b and 3 occassioned by changing the height of the spool aggregate 4 from position II to position III to position IV.
In the example which is hereinafter set forth, the spinning height, i.e. the vertical distance between the spinning nozzle ./. and the spool aggregate 4 clearly can be reduced and also possibly at the same time the spinning distance from the spinning nozzle to the bending region ./. range 3a can be reduced.
It is not necessary that the tubing after the range 3a be lead directly to the take-up device. Rather, after the tubing has been sufficiently cooled, conventional conducting devices can be arranged prior to the wind-up device (not shown).
If in the arrangement according to FIG. 2 there is provided downstream of the bending region 3a a baffle plate perpendicular or diagonally to the course of the tubing 3 and this baffle plate is carefully positioned with respect to the region 3a of the tubing 3, then the region 3a of the natural fiber bending can be increased up to about a meter (not illustrated).
In FIG. 4 there has been illustrated a thin walled tubing in accordance with the invention of typical cross-section. The tubing 3 consists of an outer wall having reduced wall thickness s surrounding a free throughput cross-section 5. The illustration is taken from a thin walled tube which was withdrawn at a speed of 5200 m/min.
The invention will be further illustrated by reference to the following example:
Polyethyleneterephthalate having a slice solution viscosity of 1.63 is spun out at a spinning temperature of 280∞ C. and using a spinning opening of a hollow fiber nozzle (ring slit nozzle 1800 μm/1000 μm). The spinning output amounts to 40 g/m. During the thin wall tubing ejection from the ring split of the nozzle, 11 1/hr nitrogen is blown into the tubing. The freshly spun tubing then passes into a 3 m long fall shaft and is taken up by a spool or reel aggregate that is located from the spinning nozzle at a vertical and horizontal distance of about 5 m and is there wound-up at a velocity amounting to about 5100 m/min. In this procedure the freshly spun tubing falls from the nozzle for about 4.9 m in a perpendicular downward direction and bends itself at an angle of approximately 90∞ (under formation of a region 3a as seen in FIG. 3) and then in an approximately horizontal direction whereupon it moves on to the take-up spool.
Measurements taken establish that within the fall shaft there is a spinning lag of about 1:90 to 1:200 and between the region 3a and the spool aggregate an after-delay or lag of about 1:2 to 1:5, the last at a distance of about 0.5 to 3.5 m from the region 3a. The wound-up thin walled tubing possesses a calculated titer of 78 dtex, an outer cross-section of about 260 μm and a wall thickness of 6 to 7 μm. The breaking elongation amounts to 69% and the strength to 35 cN/tex.

Arena Climb hopes to raise $20G for Lung Association
The American Lung Association is hosting its sixth annual Arena Climb on Saturday in which participants will raise funds and climb more than 1,220 stairs up, down and around the horseshoe of the Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre Twp.
"It's a challenge to the community to support the American Lung Association's lung health research," said Donna Ray-Reifler, development director for the American Lung Association. The organization's goal is to raise $20,000.
Each participant will get a T-shirt and an action photo of themselves during the climb.
The male and female with the best times will each get a month's membership at Leverage Fitness Studio in Forty Fort. Additionally, the individual who raises the most funds for the climb will win an overnight stay at Split Rock Resort in the Poconos, along with four water park passes.
Ms. Ray-Reifler said last year's climb had 150 to 200 participants, and she expects a similar number this year.
Several area fire companies usually participate in the climb, often wearing up to 80 pounds of firefighting gear, and compete for the association's traveling trophy.
Climbers must be at least 12 years old, and can participate as individuals or teams.
Registration is $25, and climbers must raise at least $100. People can sign up online before the climb, as well as at the arena on the day of the event. On-site registration begins at noon, and climbing begins at 1 p.m. Visit lunginfo.org/arenaclimb for more information or to register.

A lawsuit claiming that federal bear researchers' actions led to the fatal mauling of an Illinois man has been set for an early December trial date.
Erwin F. Evert was killed in June 2010 by a grizzly bear recovering from researchers' tranquilizers in the Shoshone National Forest.
The 70-year-old man's widow, Yolanda Evert, alleges in a suit that the federal Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team violated bear trapping protocols and ultimately caused Evert's death. The primary allegations are that a two-man field crew negligently took down signs warning of the tranquilized bear and left before it was fully awake.
The government, represented by the U.S. Attorney's Office, denies the allegations.

Earthquake insurance payments resulting from the massive quake that struck the Tohoku area could top ¥1 trillion, far higher than the previous record of ¥78.3 billion following the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake, according to some industry estimates as of Tuesday.
"Payments will not fall into arrears" because the government is required to cover part of the insurance payments under the quake insurance system, which is jointly run by the government and nonlife insurers, a General Insurance Association of Japan official said.
Eqecat Inc., a risk assessment agency based in the U.S., projected that upcoming insurance payments at between ¥650 billion and ¥1.2 trillion, while Goldman Sachs estimated they could reach up to ¥861 billion.
The proportion of quake insurance policyholders stood at around 7 percent at the time of the Hanshin quake, resulting in about 65,000 insurance payments.
But because the proportion rose to 23 percent as of the end March 2010, the number of payments this time could climb to several hundreds of thousands, according to the estimates.

Why I am unable to change over MHL to HDMI? I had visions of putting motion pictures on this thing on a big large screen. Any theory concerning why this was left out? I tried all possible researches over the internet and found no help.
Why I am unable to change over MHL to HDMI? I had visions of putting motion pictures on this thing on a big large screen. Any theory concerning why this was left out? I tried all possible researches over the internet and found no help.
The absence of SD support had me sad as well. I'm one of those guys that preferences to wipe his phone and PC each few months or thereabouts to begin brand new.
You are able to still wipe and begin fresh at whenever without wiping SD information. But also not having a HDMI out is no major ordeal; you are able to constantly purchase a micro USB to HDMI link. So you are able to still hook it to your TV.
No it tries not to wipe every last trace of the information; my Nexus S just has inner space and no SD space. You are able to decide on to wipe information, or wipe SD. Since you wipe information it will wipe your entire phone with the exception of for the SD Card. (So there is positively nothing to fret over here. The Galaxy Nexus does go with a MHL adapter.
More senior TV's try not to support MHL. Be that as it may, you would be able to request a MHL to HDMI link from amazon, ebay, and so forth and it will go with any TV. With respect to the SD, I hold no protests either; I cant recall the final time I in reality took off the SD card from my Inc. You have several alternatives, swipe clean every last item or simply the OS but keep all your recovered information. So you have nothing to fret over.
I independently wouldn't fret the absence of expandable space, but I truly require an additional cable like I require a hole in the head. The HDMI out totally sold me on the XOOM, and I was totally trusting that I might Just utilize that link with the Galaxy Nexus. The plausibility of no HDMI didn't even first light on me until I saw the involved film.
I move toward getting the 32 gb. Cheerfully there is something greater than 1 gig allotted for the OS and applications. I'm claiming roots in an OG Droid with 256 MB and I could not have something greater than 25 or something like that applications (yes I haves apps2sd but it still frustrating).
Nexus S had fabricated in storage. Moreover, Micro HDMI is a thing of the past. MLH is the future for phones. HTC (first to furnish Micro HDMI) and Samsung (SGS2) at present moved to MLH. I like it preferable after I dont should be conveying a HDMI link, simply a humble dongle whenever I head over to puts. It's just $15, nothing to positively moan about.
I felt the same as you, having a Xoom with micro-hdmi cable. Anyhow when a small exploration (essential the connection above), I'm nearing around. Not just does MHL back 1080p and 8 channel sound (7.1 surround), but it additionally charges. That would be pretty darn delightful. No frets over running your battery cell down or needing to join two cables.
The HDMI issue was in reality a breaking indicates for me. I'm upbeat to know that I am able to get a small piece to run video from the phone to HDTV.
Notwithstanding its totally not a micro-USB to HDMI link. It's a connector with a micro-USB measured connector on one side (connects to phone) then afterward the connector has a full-measured HDMI port (so you utilize a standard HDMI link, not a small)-and the connector requires capacity-so-the connector has a microUSB port on it for that.

Oklahoma producing more trophy bucks in recent years, especially the non-typical kind
An examination of the Oklahoma whitetail records in the Boone & Crockett Club reveals a couple of interesting trends.
First, it shows that almost every county in Oklahoma � if not all - has the potential to produce a Boone & Crockett class buck (a minimum score of 160 typical and 185 non-typical.)
Second, it shows that Oklahoma grows some really gnarly bucks, maybe more than any other state.
All but 18 Oklahoma counties now have a buck listed in Boone & Crockett.
Most of them were killed in the last 15 years, perhaps proof that the old adage "if it's brown, it's down" is no longer the prevalent thought among Oklahoma deer hunters.
More Oklahoma landowners are managing for trophy bucks today than they were 10 and 20 years ago.
In recent years, the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation has sent more of its employees to Boone & Crockett school to become official measurers. That's because more Oklahoma hunters prize the head gear that deer wear.
"In the 15 years I've been with the department, it's at least doubled, if not tripled," said Jerry Shaw, big game biologist for Wildlife Department, on the growing interest in antler scoring.
The Wildlife Department's regulations have moved toward managing more for trophy bucks by liberalizing the doe harvest and reducing the buck limit from three to two.
But Shaw thinks the widespread use of trail cameras is a big reason Oklahoma deer hunters are becoming more selective about what they shoot.
They are seeing trophy bucks on their trail cameras that they never knew existed, he said.
He often receives trail camera photos from people who want to know what that big buck in the picture would score.
"In the past, they never knew what happened on their property at night," Shaw said. "Now, they are seeing some of these good bucks and thinking, 'Wow, I never knew about that deer."'
Age and nutrition are the biggest factors in determining antler growth, Shaw said.
Age can be determined by hunters. If Oklahoma hunters want trophy bucks, they need to be willing to pass on young bucks and let them grow into potentially Boone & Crockett class animals.
As far as nutrition, calcium and phosphorus are the most important minerals for antler growth. Shaw said.
Providing supplements to a deer herd can help if the animals are not getting those minerals in their forage, but Shaw cautions that "there's not a sack out there you can throw on the ground and grow you a big deer."
Oklahoma also seems to produce more non-typical trophy bucks than other states, at least by Boone & Crockett standards.
Non-typical whitetail entries represent 37 percent of the total whitetails listed in Boone & Crockett records.
But in Oklahoma, the non-typical ratio is much higher, as 89 of the 163 Oklahoma whitetail entries in Boone & Crockett are non-typical bucks, or 55 percent.
Shaw doesn't have an explanation for it, other than it is a little easier to get a non-typical in the Boone & Crockett record book.
Genetics or an injury can produce a non-typical rack, antlers with abnormal points.
Some hunters prefer a trophy buck with a perfect symmetrical rack. Others want antlers with unique characteristics, such as drop tines.
"That's what keeps Braum's in business," Shaw said. "Different flavors."
Oklahoma's Cy Curtis Record Book lists trophy bucks
While a Boone & Crockett class buck can turn up just about anywhere in Oklahoma, they are plentiful nowhere. Most Oklahoma hunters will not see one. In fact, less than 1 percent of sportsmen in this country will take a Boone & Crockett qualifying animal.
Making the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation's Cy Curtis Record Book is more realistic.
Named for the state deer biologist credited the most for bringing back whitetail deer in Oklahoma, the Cy Curtis record book lists Oklahoma whitetails with a minimum score of 135 for typical bucks and 150 for non-typical bucks.
Think you have a Boone & Crockett buck?
If you have a potential Boone & Crockett class buck, you should:
Score the buck using the online forms found at www.boone-crockett.org.
If the antlers meet Boone & Crockett minimums (160 typical, 185 non-typical), allow the antlers to dry for 60 days.
Contact an official Boone and Crockett measurer. There's a search feature on its website. Oklahoma has almost 50 and many are employees of the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.
There is a $40 entry fee.
The Boone and Crockett Club's Big Game Awards Book is published every three years.
Records are also kept online but there is a $50 annual fee to access the database called TrophySearch.
