Axis Products' HVLP Spray Systems - A New Way To SprayWritten by on December 1, 2008 Axis Products' Turbine HVLP/Respirator Unit
A New Way To Spray And Live Another Day
Like many of you, we aren't professional automotive painters, but that doesn't stop us-or most of you, for that matter-from giving something new the "old college try," as it were, like wielding a spray gun. Over the last year we have been bringing you body and paint basics stories, some of which were familiar territory to begin with, but much were new to us as well, which in our opinion is often the most fun. After all, if we aren't continually learning, what's the point?
HVLP painting has been around for more than a few decades now; in fact, HVLP was basically born from old canister vacuums that could be reversed and blow air, and eventually you could order a spray gun of sorts with your vacuum to paint your house...or even your automobile! Obviously, the process and equipment have been far improved from those days, and there's no doubt that the majority of you have heard if not used an HVLP spray gun by now, but what is HVLP, exactly? HVLP (high volume low pressure) guns use much less pressure to push the paint into the air stream, where it is atomized by a higher volume of lower-pressure (10 psi or less) air. HVLP spray guns are accepted as superior to conventional paint guns for many reasons, including anywhere between 40 and 60 percent less (depending on who you ask) material usage. That means significant material/money savings because the paint is going directly to what you are spraying instead of in the air. This increased efficiency is better for the environment as well as your pocketbook. Some HVLP guns work with an air compressor and some with a turbine, so which should you use?
Air Compressors And HVLP
An air compressor uses pistons or a diaphragm to push a relatively small volume of air at high pressure into a holding tank. Until about 15 years ago, most spray guns required an air compressor. The air compressor is capable of pressures of 125 psi and more, but are heavy, and can produce contaminated air when they are worn out or improperly filtered.
But one of the biggest problems many of us non-pros face when it comes to automotive painting is not having the optimum tools or equipment to do the job right, and having an adequate air compressor is on the top of the list, especially for non-HVLP users. To run a non-HVLP gun, you generally need at least a 5hp compressor and a minimum 20-gallon air tank; for an HVLP gun you'll need about 3 hp and a 20-gallon tank.
On top of the proper air compressor you'll need a quality, genuine HVLP gun-not a swap meet or cheapo one, as most often these are converted conventional guns-a regulator, air filters, an inline evaporator, and, of course, an air hose. You'll also need a high-quality respirator or even a fresh air respirator since the paint industry knows so much now about all the bad stuff in paint that is known to cause diseases such as silicosis, isocyanate poisoning, emphysema, and even cancer that can be directly attributed to breathing air contaminated with toxic vapors and mists. Anyone around paints has been subject to and is at risk for all the above-which is a whole 'nuther story...more on this later. Each and every one of these things adds up to quite a bit of money, not to mention space. Even though those giant compressors at the home improvement store look impressive, not all of us have the room for one, so what about turbines?
Turbine HVLP
A turbine is a high-speed centrifugal blower motor that provides the gun with high cfm flow at low pressures. Because of the high rpm (near 20,000 rpm in some cases) a turbine operates at, the air is frictionally heated. This heat serves to eliminate all moisture from the atomizing air. The high rpm also increases the atomizing air temperature, which reduces flash time. Turbines are also lightweight and provide a reliable source of dry, oil-free air, unlike an air compressor on its own.
AXIS Products offers a high-quality turbine HVLP system-with a twist. Until now, a person using either a turbine or air compressor HVLP system was faced with hooking up a separate fresh air respirator along with whichever paint system to receive adequate breathing protection. It seems to be widely known that most non-professional air purifying respirator devices fail to protect a person's health in today's painting environment. To solve the problem, Axis Products developed their Citation HVLP sprayer/respirator system which combines the sprayer and fresh air system into one compact, economical package so you'll never be without fresh, clean, dry air whenever you paint or sand/grind hazardous materials.
I was totally in the dark about turbine HVLP systems, so I called and spoke with Jan from AXIS Products at length to bring me up to speed and educate me. One of the first things I asked her was if you can use an HVLP gun designed to be used with an air compressor, and she informed me that guns for each system are specific, but there are adapters to use a turbine gun with a compressor, but not the other way around. Turbine guns differ from conventional spray guns in two main areas. First is the size of the internal air ports. Compressor-type spray guns' internal air port openings are approximately 1/4-inch in diameter, while turbine guns need more air and use 5/8-inch air ports, more than six times larger than those in compressor guns. Keep in mind that HVLP atomizes with a high volume of air and low pressure. The second major difference is the manner in which the material is moved from the cup out of the nozzle. Turbine HVLP units pressurize the cup, forcing material to the nozzle. A conventional gun creates a vacuum to siphon material to and through the nozzle.
Jan also went on to say that the spray gun makes all the difference with any system, and AXIS is always on the search for the perfect gun since they don't manufacture their own and are dependent on what's on the market. So far they are pleased with and continue to supply the Accuspray guns by 3M, but when new spray guns become available, they continue to test them.
Next to the turbine itself and the gun, the other key ingredient for a quality turbine HVLP system is the often ignored air hose. Obviously, its function is to transfer air from the turbine to the spray gun and from the turbine to the respirator. The hose used with the AXIS sprayers is specifically designed to withstand heat and solvents, while remaining lightweight and pliable so you can easily maneuver around what you are spraying. A 20-foot hose is standard on AXIS products and should be long enough for most, but you can double it if needed, though 40 feet is the limit. psi drops at the gun with a longer hose, and since we're dealing with 5 1/2 psi with a Citation 3, there isn't much to lose.
Although there are many variations and uses, the main function of a turbine in HVLP equipment is to generate a high volume of air at pressures less than 10 psi. A critical element in determining the amount of air pressure that a turbine can generate is the number of stages that it has. A stage within a turbine can be thought of as a water wheel, and the higher the number of stages (or water wheels), the higher the psi the turbine can generate. And the higher the static pressure, the higher the viscosity of material that can be sprayed. While airflow (cfm) and pressure (psi) are both important in determining the turbine's ability to atomize coatings, pressure is the key. All manufacturers rate their turbines in the range of 50-170 cfm, and whether the turbine produces 50 or 170 cfm, it will still have enough airflow to support the gun, which only uses about 25 cfm. Therefore, cfm as a measure of performance can be misleading. Pressure determines the velocity of the air moving to the fluid nozzle in the gun.
I asked Jan if there were any drawbacks to a turbine system like their Citation units. The only thing she could think of was that users need to keep in mind to reduce their paints 10-20 percent more than what the manufacturer recommends because of the hotter air produced by the turbine, which causes the paint to flash faster, leading to a rougher orange peel finish. Once the user gets used to the additional reduction needed, they'll be quite happy with the system and can produce award-winning finishes with enough painting experience, not to mention literally breathing easier and staying healthy.
We were convinced and intrigued by the new-to-us HVLP turbine way of painting, so we talked the fine folks over at Paint'n Place down the road here in Placentia, California, into letting us take over one of their paint booths for an afternoon to try our hand at AXIS' Citation 3 paint sprayer and respirator. Jerry, the shop's owner, was so impressed with the Citation versus the old turbine units he remembers using back in the day that we're going to let him borrow it when we're done. We'll have to do a follow-up story with him on our website, www.classictrucks.com. In the meantime, give AXIS a call for more info.

Yes, this is all you need to lay down some turbine-powered HVLP paint and have plenty of fresh air to boot. Besides paint and something to put it on, this is the AXIS Citation 3 complete with the half mask, an Accuspray bottom-feed turbine HVLP gun, and an air hose for each. It's hard to believe that this little red box that even has a handle on it for easy portability can replace and do the job of giant, loud, and often dirty air compressor.There are a few options as far as spray guns when you order a Citation from AXIS, and even though this bottom-feed Accuspray is standard, it's the best gun AXIS has tested for their system to date. The other gun options are a gravity-fed version, and then you can get either one with different cups depending on your preference.Same goes for the hose fittings versus the two, but they attach in about the same way you're used to with a regular air hose. There's also a shut-off valve below the fitting on the turbine hose; keep this closed until you have connected the gun. You will notice turbine speed increase when you close the shut-off valve while the pump is running. This speed increase will eventually cause excessive heat build-up and affect turbine life. It is best to turn off the air pump at the switch if you need more than a couple of minutes. A remote on/off air switch is available for purchase if you are going to use it regularly.Same goes for the hose fittings versus the two, but they attach in about the same way you're used to with a regular air hose.

A remote on/off air switch is available for purchase if you are going to use it regularly.It was off to Paint'n Place down the road from our office in Placentia, CA, for a test run of the AXIS Citation.It's pretty easy to set up the Citation, but you should read the instructions first to familiarize yourself with the unit and process. First thread the paint sprayer hose (clear with white stripes) to the lower outlet marked "Paint Sprayer"; tighten by hand only. The lower outlet gets very hot after just a few minutes of running the turbine, so be sure that no one, especially children, comes in contact with the outlet until it cools down.Same goes for installing the top outlet marked "Respirator" with the gray hose. The threaded fittings in the Citation are machined aluminum, so that's why you don't want to wrench 'em down.One of the most important things to do to ensure that you get fresh, clean air to your face mask and to your gun is to place the Citation in an area that has clean air to start out with. This means do not put it in the immediate area, like in the paint booth, where you are working. Even though the Citation has three separate filters to clean the incoming air, they can get clogged fast in a bad situation. Luckily, there's enough hose (20 feet), with double that available for those who need it.
While the machine is warming up, let's walk through proper face mask fitting, because even though it's basic, many people get it wrong......First, place your chin in the lower part of the face mask while holding the lower straps. With your chin firmly in there, reach around and hook the lower straps together.Next, pull the top or headband strap over your head and perform the positive check by firmly placing your hands over the exhalation valves. Gently exhale into the face mask until a slight, but definite pressure is created. When slight pressure is felt and no outward leakage of air between the face mask and the face is detected, the respirator is properly fitted. If leakage occurs, readjust the position of the face mask and tension of the headbands and retest.Next we'll do a negative test. Place the palm of your hand over the open end of the face mask hose coupler, sealing off the inhalation area. Gently inhale, causing the face mask to slightly collapse against your face. If the face mask does not slightly collapse or a leak occurs, readjust the position of the face mask and tension of the headbands and retest.Now we'll wrap the included belt around and buckle it. This holds the fitting side of the hose to your waist and prevents its weight from pulling on the face mask and causing leaks. There is also a filter located in the end of the respirator hose (female end) that should be inspected for dirt and debris. Remove and clean this filter with mild detergent and a soft brush.Now it was time to mix the paint and really get going. I mixed up some of our Sherwin-Williams P30, but took special care to reduce it the additional 10-20 percent recommended by AXIS.AXIS also recommends laying down a light "dust" coat first to help eliminate runs, which is something I've always done anyway. It was amazing how much less overspray there was even at this point as I sprayed this '67-72 F-100 fender.After about three coats, there still was no cloud of overspray noticeable, but it was apparent how much more paint was actually going on the fender than with a conventional gun. One thing that I should have done was to zip-tie the two hoses together to make them easier to handle, which AXIS also recommends, and I see why.Due to a shipping error and deadlines, the full hood mask (another thing AXIS strongly recommends) didn't get here in time. But after researching the potential related hazards-like isocyanates, amongst other things-I'll be wearing one of these every time I spray from here on out! Whether it'll be in the magazine or on our website, we'll do a follow-up about the dangers lurking in automotive paints.
Cleaning your gun is always a very important step of the painting process. The Accuspray is made of a composite instead of metal, so soft bristle brushes are recommended to the job. And be sure to wear plastic or latex gloves to avoid absorbing chemicals through your skin!Well, not too shabby! The Citation worked great, and the owner of the paint shop wants me to bring it back for him to try out on another project. About the only thing I would change is to upgrade to a gravity feed gun because I'm used to them and they are a bit easier to clean, but other than that the Citation performed well.The last thing you need to check to ensure your Citation lasts a long time is its filters. There are three filters housed inside the cover and installed on the left side of the Citation cabinet. Inside you will find a black sponge-type filter, a polyester media filter encased in a cardboard frame, and a round, purple HEPA filter. The black sponge filter is washable with mild soap and water. Chemical washing is not recommended because it will destroy the filter. Replace the filter if soap and water will not clean it. The other two filters are not washable and must be replaced with new ones when they become discolored. To order new filters, call AXIS and keep an extra set on hand.

New London - The Lighthouse Inn's interior furnishings and equipment go on the auction block Friday, but the auctioneer expects the personal property - to be sold in one lot at a starting bid of about $125,000 - won't attract a buyer.
"The market is loaded with used restaurant and hotel stuff," State Marshal Joe Heap, who is conducting the sale, said in a phone interview Wednesday. "You get maybe 10 cents on the dollar."
The minimum bid of $125,388.51 for the Lighthouse Inn's contents was based on personal-property taxes owed by the previous owner, Business Loan Center LLC. Heap said Business Loan Center made some attempts to pay real estate taxes to the city after it came out of bankruptcy but had never tried to catch up on personal property back taxes.
Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio said the noontime auction Friday is just one of the many steps the city must take before offering the Lighthouse Inn for sale. The city earlier this year took title to the historic property after a real estate tax auction failed to elicit a single bid at the minimum price of about $577,000.
The 1902 Lighthouse Inn property on Guthrie Place, a cherished dining spot and drinking establishment for generations of local residents that had been transformed into a resort in recent years, includes three buildings encompassing about 32,000 square feet of space and 51 guest rooms.
Though Heap said the city might be better off if the auction of personal property fails to generate a bid - since the Lighthouse Inn could then be sold with all of its classic furnishings in place - Finizio said he is interested only in seeing that the process speeds along so the property can be sold as early as January or February.
Finizio's plan is to make repairs to the inn, get the new City Council in November to pass some sort of tax-abatement package for the property and then hold a general auction of the property in which the highest bidder will walk away as the new owner.
"It will be the same deal for everybody," he said.
Finizio acknowledged, however, that the open-bid plan is controversial, with some officials suggesting that a request-for-proposal process would result in a better development plan. But Finizio said there are too many rumors swirling around about backroom deals for the property and that it's important to establish a transparent process without favoritism.
It would be up to the next City Council, however, to decide which process will be used to market the Lighthouse Inn, he said.
Meanwhile, Finizio said the property has been generating remarkable interest, considering it has been years since the Lighthouse Inn was last open for business. He said at least 20 developers have contacted the city for information about the property, though no one is currently being shown through the buildings.
Heap said among the potential buyers is a developer who is a former busboy at the Lighthouse Inn.
"People have been interested from all over," Finizio said.
Finizio said that based on engineering estimates he has heard from developers, it will cost $1.8 million to $2.5 million to bring the Lighthouse Inn back to its former grandeur. He indicated that he doesn't expect work to be completed until the end of 2015, at the earliest.
"These things take time," he said. "It's going to be open soon."
Finizio said it is to the city's credit that it took over the property as quickly as it did because if it had waited much longer, the structures may have been irreparable.
He added that a few other issues, such as outstanding water and sewer bills and unpaid beach dues, have yet to be resolved. Finizio said he believes all the various issues swirling around the property are what prevented it from eliciting a bid during the property-tax sale, noting that several offers had been made on the property previously that were turned down by the Business Loan Center.
Heap said he expects only a couple potential bidders to show up at Friday's tax auction. Bidders will need to bring a check for 25 percent of the minimum auction price - more than $30,000 - to be able to view the contents of the Lighthouse Inn at 11 a.m.
Among the items listed for sale are "bedroom furnishings, bedding, restaurant equipment, furniture, flatware, dishes, glassware (and) salon equipment," according to a legal notice published in The Day.
The auction, Heap said, allows the city to take official possession of the Lighthouse Inn's personal property if no one comes up with the minimum bid price. The city legally has to hold two separate auctions, for personal and real property, Heap said, before taking complete possession of the inn and its contents.

When a friend asked Matt Burmeister to write a song about the five Franklin teens who went over the dam in the Big Blue River this summer, he didn't want to do it.
Burmeister, 40, who lives in Franklin and makes a living as a musician, didn't know the teens or their families. He wasn't sure how to write a song that properly remembered the two teens who died, the two who survived and the one who remains critically injured.
"That's a hard thing to do," Burmeister said. "Not only is it so personal to all of the people involved, but as a songwriter, how can you write something that would be able to cover all of the aspects?"
But Burmeister's friend, John Dunlap, told him a song is something that could help the families and the city of Franklin remember the teens as they healed. Burmeister understood that: When he was 13, his 16-year-old stepbrother died in Illinois after trying to save a friend who had been swept over a dam.
This was a chance to write something that would offer families going through a similar tragedy some comfort.
Burmeister wrote the song, "The Color Blue," a few days after talking to Dunlap. Franklin Community High School used the song as part of a video on the first day of school honoring Jason Moran and Michael Chadbourne, who died while trying to save Sarah McLevish, who was injured after being swept over the dam. Franklin teens Mark Nally and Trent Crabb also went after McLevish but were unharmed.
Burmeister, who wasn't paid to write the song, didn't expect the song would be used in the high school's video; he simply thought it was something that would help people remember the teens who died or were injured. The song talks about a day that starts out ordinarily and within a moment is turned upside down. The title, "The Color Blue," refers to the blue and white ribbons residents put up all over Franklin in honor of the five teens.
"It's touching to think that, of the millions of songs they could have chosen, that (mine) was worthy enough to use," Burmeister said.
Dunlap asked Burmeister to consider writing "The Color Blue" about a month after the tragedy.
Moran's mother, Janet, works for Dunlap, and he saw the community respond instantly to the tragedy by conducting fundraisers to raise money for the Moran, Chadbourne and McLevish families. Dunlap also wanted them to have another way for the families to remember their children, which is why he asked Burmeister to write something.
"You know what (their deaths) have done to the community, and you can imagine what that did to a mom," Dunlap said.
Burmeister recorded a CD of the song shortly after it was written, and he played it for Dunlap and Janet Moran a few days before Franklin's first day of school. Dunlap remembers both Burmeister and Janet Moran crying as the song played.
When Burmeister was finished, Janet Moran asked to take the CD to the high school so it could be added to the video that was being created for students' first day back.
"Songs are forever. They're like photos," Dunlap said. "And Matt has incredible skills."
Now, Burmeister wants to use the song to help raise additional money for the families. He plans to perform at a benefit hosted by Mi Pueblo restaurant in Franklin later this month.
He has also printed about 100 CDs with "The Color Blue," though he can make more if there's enough demand. He knows that thousands of residents have been supporting the teens and their families, and he wants anyone interested in making a contribution to be able to get the music, he said.
Each CD costs about $3 to create, so Burmeister is asking for a minimum donation of $5 for the music to ensure there's money that makes it to the families.

3 Glitched achievements for anyone who needs help.
So I'm a big fan of the History Channel games and I got this through gamefly. I decided to wanted to 1000g this game and come to find out that 3 achievements are glitched. After a 2 day search of solutions from a number of different websites including this one--I still could not get my last achievements. I'm writing this for anyone who wants to play in the future. I realize this game is at least 5 years old now and not many will read this but hopefully it helps.
So these achievements aren't really glitched. The games programming is just utterly terrible. Just a note, I'm not very technical from a programming standpoint. I might have trouble communicating my point--if you'd like to add something or correct me in some way please do so--hopefully without calling me an idiot.
From my observations it seems that the game stores all of your data in a leaderboard database on some server somewhere. So, the achievements are basing themselves off of those statistics and not what you are actually saving on your hard-drive. So what that means is that if you play through this entire game and don't get your pistol and knife achievement that means you have to play through another level and beat your intial high score--using the knife/pistol. If you beat your own high score then it will overwrite the previous high score they have in their leaderboard database.
For example. Once I realized this I looked at all my scores for each level. I noticed Shiloh level was an extremely low score because I'd gone through the level silently. So I reloaded the level on hard mode. I killed everyone with a pistol with only 1 shot. I got all secret areas and I saved about every 10 kills or so. I ended that level with 70 kills and 97% accuracy. So once I beat Shiloh this way--my new OVERALL score increased on the leaderboard(meaning it registered my 70 pistol kills seperately). Next I decided to play Antietam. My achievement popped in about 10 kills. I finished Antietam with my knife and easily got both achievements. Antietam has over 100 enemies so if you are missing your knife achievement, then a playthrough on the Antietam level will net you that 50g too.
So the achievements have nothing to do with saving or loading. Resetting the cache doesn't work, neither does the 2 profile sign-in trick. Simply beat your high score with a better score using a pistol or knife on the hardest mode. Your achievement will then unlock. Good luck future history channel players.

Good post. I feel I should add a couple of things for people who stumble upon this post.
First, when setting a high score on a mission in order to increase your pistol or knife kill counts, DO NOT save and load the game. This WILL reset your pistol and knife kill counts for that level playthrough from the point you loaded. You must play through the level uninteruptted for all of your pistol and knife kills to register.
Secondly, the best level to earn the pistol or knife achievements is the Antietam level. You can earn the knife achievement on this level alone regardless of whatever else you have done in this game. Set the difficultly to easy and just knife everyone in the level. When you get to the last objective (kill enemies with cannons), don't get on the cannons and the enemies will spawn infinitely. When you knife 75 (probably much less) enemies on this level you will earn the achievement during the mission regardless of what your previous knife kill count was.
The Antietam trick won't always work for the Pistoleer achievement because you will eventually run out of pistol ammo and can only kill about 40-60 guys with your pistol. So, set your high score on one or two other levels and get around 50 pistol kills or so (remember, without saving/loading), then return to Antietam on easy, kill everyone with your pistol (tip: punch first, then shoot) and the achievement should pop up during the level.
Getting these two achievements for me was a tremendous sigh of relief.

I conducted research for this article at Nuffield College and the Institute for Ethics, Law, and Armed Conflict at the University of Oxford, the Institute for Advanced Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and at the Centre for Moral, Social, and Political Theory, in the School of Philosophy at the Australian National University. My sincere thanks to each of these institutions. I presented some of this work in Jerusalem at the IAS, and at the ANU Thursday Seminar. Along the way I have discussed necessity with many people, whose help has been invaluable. Yitzhak Benbaji, Tom Dougherty, and David Luban were particularly important in helping shape my views. I also learned a great deal about necessity from Christian Barry, Stephanie Collins, Janina Dill, David Enoch, Bob Goodin, Al Hájek, Holly Lawford-Smith, Philip Pettit, Iddo Porat, Daniel Schwartz, Henry Shue, Nic Southwood, Danny Statman, and Michael Walzer. The editor and reviewers for Philosophy & Public Affairs were instrumental in improving the article, especially Section IV.B; again, thanks.

Advances In Wearable Technology Could Help Doctors Remotely Monitor Patients' Health By Sean Sandefur • Oct 9, 2015 Sean Sandefur / KMUW Doctors across the country currently face a challenge: How do you track a patient once they've left your office? Sometimes what seems like minor pain can turn into an emergency situation, which might have been avoided if it had been caught early. Local physicians who provide care to the elderly say the key is daily monitoring--and because it's the 21st century, why not use technology? KMUW's Sean Sandefur reports on how smart watches could be the answer. More Farmers Logging On To The Internet By Luke Runyon • Aug 23, 2015 Luke Runyon / Harvest Publice Media A new report finds farms are getting better internet access. But as Harvest Public Media's Luke Runyon reports, a large percentage of farms still can't connect to the web. One big impediment is infrastructure. In rural areas of the Midwest there are huge swathes without any internet connectivity. Federal communications officials say more than half of all rural Americans lack fast, reliable broadband internet connections. Lu Nelsen at the Center for Rural Affairs says the lack of access just deepens the urban-rural divide.

By Lael Ewy • Jan 28, 2014 The Rocketeer / Flickr / Creative Commons Those of us tuned in to social media have probably run across someone using a term like "because science" to explain something factual or amazing or both. But "science" is often used when we really mean "technology." To see the difference, look at your cell phone. It's a neat little bit of technology, but how often do we think about the science behind it? More to the point, how many of us really care?

The sector had been up as oil prices rebounded the previous evening and there was a sector-wide bump after results from Shell beat expectations. The drop in early morning trading on the FTSE 100 took some of the market by surprise after a strong finish in the US the previous day. Despite a brief rally, the top tier plunged once more over fears from the US, as the lender Countrywide said its prime mortgage defaults had risen.

The Lemonheads
For this tour stop the Lemonheads will run through all of their breakthrough album, It's a Shame About Ray, from way back in the summer of 1992, when unemployment neared 8 percent (hey, that sounds pretty good) and folks still used actual phone booths to arrange drug deals. Working with producers the Robb Bros., Evan Dando and temporary bandmates Juliana Hatfield and David Ryan fused their key influences (Hüsker Dü, Replacements, Elvis Costello, AM pop, hippie country) into a charming sort of folk-rock, at once accelerated and slack. The songs had no great claims to make but the hooks were as seductive as Dando's drawl and Dennis Wilson's looks. It's a 30-minute album, so there should be ample time for other material. Apt openers the Shining Twins make scrappy pop-punk that gets away with what ought to be an excess of cuteness. 18+.

CEO jailed for mining pollution of a river
Company Silver Mine San Rafael announced it would appeal the ruling.
The general manager of the San Rafael Silver Mine, owned by Canadian Tahoe Resources Inc., was jailed for signs of defiling a river and affected thousands of people from at least three communities.
"This is the first time in the history of the country in which he is sent to prison for a general manager of a mining pollution of a river, there is sufficient evidence of contamination," said Rafael Maldonado, lawyer Environment- Action Center Legal and Social Guatemala Calas, who filed the complaint.
The incident occurred in 2012, when industrial pollution of water from a river gorge Slaves, main water artery of the department of Santa Rosa, located about 70 kilometers southeast of the Guatemalan capital was reported.
According to the complaint, the mining company pulling liquid waste substances used in the exploration of minerals in the Mina San Rafael to the gorge of the river, causing contamination suspended solids and water discoloration, what He made unfit for human and animal consumption or for agriculture.
"This access to water of the communities was limited, and the municipalities of San Rafael Las Flores, Casillas and Nueva Santa Rosa, the most affected, also damaged the irrigation system of its plantations," Maldonado said.
Carlos Roberto Morales was jailed by Judge Santa Rosa, Roberto Flores, by now serve as manager of the mining and judicial investigation of the facts she has been ordered were feared interference from the truth.
Minera San Rafael said in a brief press release that the company does not generate negative impacts to natural resources and would appeal the judge's decision, which is exaggerated and do not reflect the seriousness of the alleged crime.
"Minera San Rafael is a Guatemalan company that operates ethically under national and international standards. The care and management of natural resources has always been done according to Guatemalan law ... The evidence does not support allegations of industrial pollution" said the company.
Installation and operation of the San Rafael mine has caused several violent incidents in the area. In 2012, President Otto Perez Molina declared a state of siege for a week, militarizing the area because of the violence which caused several injuries and deaths among people who are for and against the mine.
So you doubled up from 100 to 200 shares. Good for you.
G7 leaders should have included BTG along with their plan to end use of fossil by 2100.
Probably by that time BTG will also double.

The Quinlan family of Florida isn't waiting until Thanksgiving Day to give thanks for their blessings. Family members will participate in the St. Jude Give thanks. Walk.™ event on November 23 in Palm Beach County — one of 75 communities taking part in this noncompetitive 5K fundraiser for St. Jude.
Since the St. Jude Give thanks. Walk. began in 2008, it has drawn thousands of walkers in communities nationwide and has raised $11 million for the kids of St. Jude. The walk is the official kick-off for the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign.
Nancy Quinlan describes the 5K fundraising event as a wonderful gathering of families and friends.
"The atmosphere on the day of the walk in Palm Beach County is so energizing," she says. "Everyone I talk to after the walk is so happy they came."
Nancy is chairing the Palm Beach County event this year but has participated every year out of gratitude for the good health her son, Brian, enjoys. Now age 13, Brian received treatment at St. Jude for leukemia when he was 4 and learned last December that he had passed the five-year cancer-free mark.
"It is amazing to participate in a St. Jude fundraiser after being a patient family at St. Jude," says Nancy.
Team Brian T-shirts will feature photos of Brian at age 4 with Kicker, the therapy dog whom he loved so much as an active patient. Also pictured on the shirt is world-renowned St. Jude oncologist Ching-Hon Pui, MD, shown with Brian and his brother Brendan.
"We are so grateful for Brian's good health, and we want to make sure that the hospital has everything we can contribute to help other children and families in the future," says Nancy. "We can never pay back St. Jude for all the wonderful medical treatment Brian received and all the help and love extended to our entire family."
It's easy to get involved no matter where you live.
October 2013

shooting a clear acrylic case (e3, pic)
my latest project is that raspberry pi linux board ($40ish). its very 'hot' right now (although the software has a bit more to go before its stable enough to actually use).
shot the unit inside its new clear plastic case. for a whim, took a nearby book and used it for a base. it has a bit of color and some black background. lighting was natural sunlight thru a nearby window. using jpg mode, into cs2 for some PP (levels, highlight, sharpening).
wanted something a little colorful (but not too much) even when the case is completely colorless

text: I have just got the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0). It is just awesome. I would like to share few thoughts about it. It is the perfect size and looks much more than a Tablet. It almost seems like a hybrid device. I really didnt like the Samsung Tab 10.1" because of its epic size and usually heavier. One more excellent factor is the ICS. I have 2 kids and they do like playing those angry birds, drawing, etc. I dont know about the battery life, I assume that it will be good after the first full charge. Moreover it is just a great thing for everyone. I am really surprised.

Cloth Diapers do They All Leak?
I really want to give cloth diapers a try for my newborn. I have heard many moms tell me horror stories about cloth diapers just leaking everywhere and ruining clothes. I want to give it a try but before I jump on the cloth diaper wagon, I wondered if anyone had a brand they preferred that hopefully leaks less and isn't terrible expensive to maintain. Right now, I am using regular diapers and feel so guilty every time I throw one away. Please help me out!
