In a sea of anti-aging skin care products, the innovators at Topix have introduced Replenix- the new, advanced wave of polyphenol based antioxidant treatments.
Replenix is a patent-pending formulation composed of 90% polyphenol isolates, derived from green tea, with potent antioxidant properties to assist in minimizing free-radical induced skin damage.
Replenix is ideal as an anti-aging treatment, for rosacea & sensitive skin patients, or for post procedure. It truly sets the gold standard for antioxidant and green tea skin treatments.
The emolient, rich water-soluble cream formula contains hyaluronic acid and soy phospholipid complex to help achieve smoother, silkier, softer and more radiant looking skin.
Now fortified with caffeine to enhance the antioxidant properties of green tea.
This is a good, solid product to use esp if your skin is easily irritated. I was having a VERY hard time adjusting to retinoid creams and this really helped my skin when it needed it most.
A now famous LA dermotologist recommended this to me some years ago for controling the crepy texture I was developing on my eyelids (i'm 58 now, and I've been using this for 5 or 6 years). It worked beautifully. I use it as part of a regime that includes Neo Strata AHA15 ( a glycolic acid) applyed all over my face and throat and very, very carefully on my eyelids and under eye area twice a day. Then I apply the Replenix CF cream on my eyelids and under eye area, am and pm. I give it a minute or two to dry before putting on my moisturizer, then makeup as usual. I get lots and lots of complements on my skin and the Replenix has been a key product for me.
I use this cream in the evenings. Love the antioxidant ingredients in this product as well. Makes my skin feel soft. Will buy again!
This product can be shipped to any country to which SkinStore currently ships.

"Little Sweden, USA" Lindsborg by jayhawk2000
Lindsborg Travel Guide: 39 reviews and 103 photos
A mix of Swedish charm and Kansas hospitality make Lindsborg about the friendliest tourist honeypot in the state. It's a town of art galleries, craftsmen, festivals, music and wholesome food.
The town's mascot and biggest export is the wooden dala horse ('dalahast'). In spring 2003 the town had a dala horse 'parade' downtown.
Lindsborg's downtown is lined with extravagant old buildings where you will find antiques markets, arts & crafts stores and restaurants.
Don't miss an excursion out of town to the hilltop stone 'fort' at Coronado Heights, the legendary viewpoint of that Spanish conquistador's exploratory expedition through here nearly 500 years ago.
I can also recommend the Maxwell Wildlife Refuge and McPherson State Fishing Lake for some superb widlife encounters and wonderful scenery.
And less than 10 miles straight west of Lindsborg on State Hwy 4 is Marquette, my 'birthday cake' town which has its own VT page!

I've always wondered just where the turning point was for Coronado, besides deciding that his guide was misleading him. Nice page...
Lindsborg is one of my favorite small towns in the country. You've done a nice job of capturing the spirit of the place! Thanks.
Love the dalahast! Little ethnic towns like this in the U.S. are fun to visit.
I think I ate at the Swedish Crown 25 years ago. I was at a High School debate tournament in Salina, and our coach took us to dinner at a great Swedish place in Lindsborg.

Well done Mr Winter, Oyster investors should congratulate you for your persistence and chasing Mr Herbert, who it would seem was less than straight on that particular transaction.
A $2 million debt chase involving socialite property developer Simon Herbert was settled out of court at the eleventh hour, Without a Word of a Lie has learned.
Mr Herbert was being pursued for the money by property investor 246 Investments after its 2006 purchase of the Mr Herbert's retail and office building at 246 Queen St soured.
246 Investments, which manages the property syndicate Oyster Group, told NBR of its claim the building's key tenant was insolvent at the time of purchase.
Director Mark Winter said that was "inappropriately disguised from us".
Proceedings to pursue the debt were due to start at Auckland's High Court today but were withdrawn because settlement was reached confidentially over the weekend.
Although neither party would discuss terms of the settlement, Mr Winter said he was happy with the agreement reached.
The 896sq m Queen St building housed eight floors of offices above street-level retail space, anchored by footwear retailer Foot Locker.
Earlier this year, Mr Herbert and his wife Paula - crowned Mrs New Zealand in 2009 - paid $9 million for their Remuera Rd mansion, previously owned by John Sanders and sold as part of a bitter divorce settlement with his former wife Yvonne.
NBR Rich Lister David Richwhite previously owned the home.
Mr Herbert's Empire Trust owns the 430-berth Bayswater Marina on Auckland's North Shore. His multi-million dollar plan to build 250 apartments and develop a café and retail space on reclaimed waterfront at the site were canned by the Environment Court in 2009.
Mr Herbert's other business interests include Empire Publishing, which launched real estate industry advertising magazine Property Book in 2008.

7 Comments & Questions
Bud - i agree but that said you gotta love the lax NZ laws and that you can delay for 5 years and then settle on the steps - another example of flouting in a big way. or smart on the part of Mr Herbert? lol
What's wrong with good 'ol caveat emptor....... or is this also now in the winger's PC basket?
Caveat emptor is fine when everyone tells the truth - I have been through enough due diligence processes to know that not everyone tells the truth, that is why SAP agreements have warranties. Mr Herbert would have been asked to disclose all he knew about the tenant and it would seem that he did not come clean. Under that scenario Oyster have every right to have a go at him. If they asked the question and Herbert told them the truth ie "I know this tenant is about to go tits up" and they still decided to go ahead then Caveat Emptor rules.

All the caveat'ing in the world may fail when dealing with people who are prepared to lie through their teeth and withhold information.
As we see all the time the law is pretty ineffectual in dealing with those who stall and drag their feet for years as a tactic to wear down the opposition.
I hasten to add these are general observations.

Springstead v. Crawfordsville State Bank
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Springstead v. Crawfordsville State Bank, 231 U.S. 541 (1913)
Springstead v. Crawfordsville State Bank
No. 93
Submitted December 4, 1913
Decided December 22, 1913
In determining the amount in controversy for jurisdictional purpose the attorney's fee provided for in a promissory note in case of suit can be considered, as it is not a part of the costs.
Failure to allege the citizenship of the original payee of a note on which suit is brought by the assignee is a jurisdictional defect, but if diversity of citizenship between the plaintiff and defendant is alleged, the defect is amendable.
Under § 299 of the Judicial Code, amendments to the pleadings are allowable if the jurisdictional amount existed when the suit was brought notwithstanding that since then the amount necessary to give jurisdiction has been increased.
The facts, which involve the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court, are stated in the opinion.

'Fiscal cliff' prompts layoff worries
If the nation next week goes off the so-called "fiscal cliff," 74 percent of American workers — according to a survey released Thursday — will fear layoffs. Scott George, a civilian employee at Tinker Air Force Base, will be one of them.
"With cuts coming to the nation's defense budget, thousands of Department of Defense employees' jobs may be in jeopardy," said George of Choctaw.
"We have been told that there are funds to operate for a short amount of time, exactly how long that is, no one is saying," George said. Though he has more than 30 years' service, George still could be affected by potential furloughs, he said.
In an online survey conducted this month by New Jersey-based Lee Hecht Harrison career consulting firm, 74 percent of more than 200 American workers polled said they were concerned the "fiscal cliff" could lead to layoffs. Forty percent are very concerned; 22 percent, moderately; 14 percent, slightly; and 26 percent, not at all.
Since the government sector accounts for nearly 30 percent of Oklahoma employment, "sequestration" — or the across-the-board reduction in federal spending put in place by the Budget Control Act of 2011 — "could have a huge effect on government employees," Oklahoma City certified financial planner Troy Jones said.
Otherwise, there likely aren't many Oklahoma employees worried about layoffs, Jones said.
Terminations happening?
Conversely, Tulsa headhunter Tony Wolters said, based on feedback from his clients, the "fiscal cliff" already is causing layoffs across all industries, including some 15 employees terminated last month by Hard Rock Casino.
"It may not matter if this is resolved or not, it gives companies that may have struggled in the past year an 'excuse' to lay off or downsize," Wolters said. "Layoffs are quietly occurring, small in number so far, but will pick up after the first of the year," he said.
If federal legislators fail to reach an agreement in the first few weeks of January, it very well could lead to layoffs, agrees Lynn Gray, an economist with the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission.
But based on the initial claims for unemployment insurance, Oklahoma by all indications is recovering, Gray said. Last week's claims numbered roughly 356,750 nationwide — down from some 650,000 in early 2009 and about equal to the claims in December 2007, the month before the recession hit.
"Even in the really good times we enjoyed in 2006 and 2007, weekly initial claims never were below 300,000," Gray said.
Meanwhile, Jeweler Valerie Naifeh said she has no plans to reduce her staff, but does believe economic worries will affect her customers' spending habits.
"We will, most likely, tailor our buying for the next 12 months in a way that reflects our clients' pessimism, rather than our optimism," Naifeh said.
Jeannie Bowden, an economic development officer in Duncan — where unemployment, for now, remains very low — says "Let's Go!" to the "fiscal cliff."
"If our elected federal officials can't figure it out, I am glad something is in place to reduce our deficit," Bowden said. "I don't think it will be easy and I think some, maybe me or my loved ones, will have a difficult time. But I do not wish our nation to ultimately fall, or become much weaker, because we couldn't make the tough decisions."

Lawrenceville, GA (AP) - An HIV-positive man was sentenced to
life plus 10 years in prison after prosecutors say he raped a woman
at a Lawrenceville psychiatric hospital.
Assistant District Attorney Teresa Klein tells The Atlanta
Journal-Constitution that a Gwinnett County jury convicted
28-year-old Wesley Randall Hatfield of rape and reckless conduct.
Police say that in September 2007, Hatfield sneaked into a
female patient's room at the SummitRidge Center for Psychiatry &
Addiction Medicine, where he was also a patient. Prosecutors say he
raped thw woman while she was asleep and on sedatives. The female
patient did not contract HIV.
Under Georgia law, it is a felony for people who know they have
HIV or hepatitis to knowingly engage in sexual intercourse without
disclosing their condition.

I have two gateways with different ISP, one of them defined as default for the LAN user and the other ISP used as the default for the Servers and VPN traffic. This is done using regular routing tables configured with the DHCP.
Now I want Google drive and some other software traffic installed in the LAN users laptops that uses a lot of upload to always use the other ISP that is not defined as their default gw. How can I accomplish that??
My initial thoughts are use IPTABLES or squid.
I have been trying with this
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d GOOGLE_IP -j DNAT --to-destination MY_SECOND_ISP
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s MY_SECOND_ISP -j SNAT --to-source GOOGLE_IP
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s MY_SECOND_ISP -j MASQUERADE
but it does not work. When I test it the traffic goes to the default gw
Any idea how to do it using iptables, shorewall or squid??

Jerusalem: Gas technician arrested after apartment blast kills family
A gas company technician has been arrested in a blast at a Jerusalem apartment building that killed a family of three and injured 14 others, police said Monday.
The technician had done a temporary repair on a gas line Sunday night after residents of one apartment reported smelling gas and said he would return Monday to finish up, Israeli broadcaster Arutz Sheva reported.
The apartment next door blew up about 1 a.m. Monday, killing a couple and their 2-year-old son, police and witnesses said.
Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovich described damage from the explosion as "massive destruction" after a visit to the building in the Gilo neighborhood.
"Everything will be investigated and I am certain the police will make the necessary findings," he said. "I'm not looking to name the guilty, let's wait a few days."
Fire Chief Shahar Ayalon said it was "clear" negligence was involved, Ynetnews.com reported. He said investigators "will attempt [to] recreate the scene to better learn what happened."
Some 15 people were evacuated from the building, said emergency services officials. Fourteen people were taken to hospitals, including a woman who was seriously injured.
The gas company, Supergas, said in a statement it would cooperate with the investigation. It said gas lines at the building were last checked in September 2012. Israeli law requires a building's main gas lines to be checked every five years.
Meir Kadosh, who had called the technician, said he sent a letter to Supergas a year ago warning gas lines in the building had been "criminally neglected.

The present invention relates to medical ultrasound diagnostic devices and, in particular, to an ultrasound system that produces a video display of a region within a subject's body.
Medical ultrasound scanners typically produce a two-dimensional grey scale image of a planar region of a subject's body. The grey scale image is created by transmitting a series of ultrasound pulses into the region under investigation, and receiving and processing the echoes of the transmitted pulses, to build up a two-dimensional image. Modern ultrasound scanners are capable of obtaining images at a fast enough rate, e.g., twenty or more times per second, so that a real time display of the region under investigation can be created on a video monitor.
Modern ultrasound systems generally include the capability of obtaining Doppler data from a selected volume within the two-dimensional region under investigation. The Doppler data represents the velocity of structures within the selected volume. Thus if the selected volume is within or includes a blood vessel, important information can be obtained concerning blood velocity. Such information is extremely useful in diagnosing various cardiac and other circulatory problems.
A relatively recent innovation in ultrasound systems is the use of "color flow" systems to combine a grey scale image and Doppler data. In a color flow system, all or a selected portion of a grey scale image is overlaid with a color image, with different colors corresponding to different velocities. Color flow systems must obtain Doppler data from a large number of sample volumes throughout a portion of an image. Since several pulses are required for each sample volume, the frame rate that can be obtained in color flow systems tends to be quite low. A low frame rate makes the display jerky, and can cause events of short time durations, such as small flow disturbances and valve leaks, to be missed entirely. There is therefore a substantial need for ultrasonic systems, particularly color flow systems, that are capable of producing frame rates high enough to provide real time imaging.
In a number of medical imaging systems, including CAT scans, MRI, PET, and thallium scanning with a gamma camera, it is known that imaging can sometimes be facilitated by taking advantage of the fact that the motion of a portion of the heart or circulatory system of a subject is substantially duplicated from one heartbeat to the next. Thus a number of such imaging techniques provide the ability to acquire a series of images or frames at fixed time delays after the occurrence of an R wave in an ECG signal. The acquisition is repeated for a number of subsequent cardiac cycles, and the results are then averaged and displayed. These techniques utilize a long integration time to produce a usable image or image set. However they have the effect of increasing acquisition time to produce a set of images at reasonable frame rates, rather than producing high frame rates in real time.
The present invention provides a technique for increasing the display frame rate of a medical ultrasound imaging system.
The ultrasound imaging system comprises signal acquisition means that includes means for transmitting ultrasound into a subject's body, and means for receiving echoes of the ultrasound energy and processing the echoes to produce a series of frames at an acquisition frame rate. Each frame comprises data representing an image of a portion of the subject's body at an associated acquisition time. The ultrasound imaging system further includes trigger means for generating a trigger signal based upon the occurrence of a predetermined event in the subject's cardiac cycle. For example, the trigger signal could be based upon the peak of the R wave of the subject's ECG signal. The system finally includes processing means that includes means for causing the signal acquisition means to produce a first series of frames subsequent to the generation of a first trigger signal and a second series of frames subsequent to the generation of a second trigger signal. The processing means also includes means for determining a frame time for each frame, each frame time corresponding to the time between the acquisition time for the frame and the preceding trigger signal. The frames are displayed in order of increasing frame times, enabling the ultrasound system to achieve a display frame rate that is higher than the acquisition frame rate.
In a preferred embodiment, each series of frames is acquired in response to, and at predetermined frame times with respect to, the preceding trigger signal. In this embodiment, the frame times are preferably staggered with one another, such that the frames are displayed in an interleaved fashion. The processing means preferably includes means for storing at least the first frames, display means for receiving frames and displaying the images represented thereby, and sequencing means for sending the first and second frames to the display means in order of increasing frame times.
FIG. 1 illustrates the acquisition of video frames over two heart cycles, in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 illustrates the display sequence of the frames shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of an ultrasound system for carrying out the present invention;
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of memory 22, showing the storage of frames therein; and
FIG. 5 is a flow chart illustrating the acquisition of frames when the ultrasound system is in triggered acquisition mode.
The basic principle of a preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2. Referring initially to FIG. 1, the time t=0 is taken to be the time that each ECG trigger is received by the ultrasound system. Such a trigger can, for example, correspond to the peak of the R wave of the subject under examination. When a first trigger is received, the ultrasound system begins acquiring and storing a series 12 of frames 14 of video data, as shown in the upper half of FIG. 1. Each frame comprises data representing an image of a portion of the subject's body. In a color flow system, each frame includes both the grey scale image data and the associated Doppler data. Frames 14 are acquired at frame times t=0, 2T, 4T, etc., at an acquisition frame rate 1/(2T). The frame time for a frame can be defined as the time at which the generation of data for that frame commences. The acquisition of frames 14 continues until the next ECG trigger signal is received. At that time, as shown in the lower half of FIG. 1, the ultrasound system begins acquiring a second series 16 of frames 18. Frames 18 are acquired at frame times t=T, 3T, 5T, etc., at the same acquisition frame rate of 1/(2T), time t now being measured with respect to the second ECG trigger.
For the purpose of display, frames 14 and 18 shown in FIG. 1 are interleaved as shown in FIG. 2. Thus for display, the frames are sequenced in order of ascending frame times, with each frame time being measured with respect to its corresponding trigger signal. As a result, the display frame rate is 1/T, double the acquisition frame rate.
The system shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 can readily be extended to interleave frames from any number of consecutive cardiac cycles. Thus if N is the number of heart cycles that are to be interleaved to produce a single display sequence, then the first series of frames may be acquired at times 0, NT, 2NT, etc.; the second series of frames may be acquired at times T, (N+1)T, (2N+1)T, etc.; the third sequence of frames may be acquired at times 2T, (N+2)T, (2N+2)T, etc. As a result of such interleaving, the acquisition frame rate of 1/(NT) will be increased by a factor of N, to produce a display frame rate of 1/T.
The frame interleaving illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 can also be achieved in an untriggered mode. In an untriggered mode, the ultrasound system does not attempt to synchronize the acquisition of frames with the trigger signal. Instead, the system acquires N frame series at its normal acquisition frame rate. A frame time is determined for each frame, the frame time being the time from the preceding trigger signal to the frame's acquisition time. The frames of the N frame series are then played back in order of increasing frame times, as in the triggered mode described above. The advantage of the triggered mode is that the ultrasound system controls the frame times, so that equally spaced frame times can be produced, as shown in FIG. 2.
A preferred ultrasound system for implementing the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 3. The system includes signal acquisition unit 20, memory 22 and display unit 24. Operation of these units is controlled and coordinated by control unit 26 via lines 30, 32 and 34, respectively. An electrocardiograph (ECG) unit 40 is coupled to the control unit by line 42. ECG unit 40 may be provided as a separate instrument, or may form a part of the ultrasound system. The system as a whole is controlled by operator 50 via control unit 26.
Signal acquisition unit 20 includes an ultrasound transducer, or a transducer array, and a transmitter for driving the transducer so as to cause it to generate ultrasound that is radiated into a subject's body. The resulting echoes are then converted by the transducer into RF signals that are processed to provide focusing, beam steering, demodulation and other signal processing functions. The result of this processing is a processed signal on line 36 that contains information about the ultrasound reflections from an array of points within an image plane in the subject's body. In a color flow system, the processed signal includes information indicating the velocity of a plurality of points within the image plane. The processed signal is provided on line 36 as a series of frames, each frame comprising data representing one image of the subject's body at a particular acquisition time. Thus during color flow imaging, each frame includes the underlying grey scale image, as well as the velocity information to be superimposed thereon.
The frames on line 36 are written into memory 22, in a manner specified by a memory control signal on line 32. The storage of frames in memory 22 is described in greater detail below. When a given frame is to be displayed, the frame is read out of memory 22 onto line 38, for transmittal to display unit 24. Thus the interleaving of frames, as schematically shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, is accomplished by providing memory control signals in an appropriate sequence.
For operation in accordance with the present invention, the ultrasound system is connected to ECG unit 40 that is also connected to the subject under investigation. The ECG unit acquires an ECG signal representing the subject's electrocardiogram. ECG unit 40 processes the ECG signal, and produces a series of trigger signals on line 42 that are received by control unit 26 of the ultrasound system. Each trigger is produced in response to the occurrence of a predetermined feature of the ECG signal. Typically, such feature is the peak of the R wave, although any other identifiable feature could also be utilized.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the ultrasound system shown in FIG. 3 can be operated in two different modes. In a first mode, herein termed "real time" mode, operator 50 begins by entering a command that causes the system to activate the triggered acquisition operation of the present invention. The operator also enters at this time a number (N) designating the number of cardiac cycles to be interleaved, as described above. Alternately, the ultrasound system can compute N based upon the subject's heart rate, the frame rate, and the size of memory 22. The ultrasound system then proceeds to acquire N series of frames. Referring to FIG. 4, reference numeral 60 designates the data for a single frame, while reference numerals 62(1)-62(N) designates the N series of frames that are stored in memory 22. Thus each row in FIG. 4 represents frames for one frame series. Subsequently, as each frame series is produced on line 36, the frame series is stored in memory 22, overwriting the corresponding prior frame series. Once N series of frames are in memory 22, operator 50 can initiate the interleaved playback of the stored frames. The playback can be at a real time rate, in slow motion, one frame at a time, or in any other manner.
FIG. 5 illustrates the overall process of frame acquisition in triggered acquisition mode. Each time that control unit 26 receives a trigger signal on line 42 from the ECG unit, the control unit performs the steps indicated in block 70. In particular, the control unit calculates the delay Td to the first frame in the next series, as well as the time Tcf required to finish the current frame. If the acquisition frame rate is designated FR, and if I designates the next frame series (0≦I<N), then the delay to the first frame in series I is equal to I/(N·FR). Thus for example referring to FIG. 1, the delay for series 12 is equal to 0, while the delay for series 16 is equal to T.
In block 72, the control means determines whether or not Tcf is less than or equal to Td. If so, then there is sufficient time to complete the current frame. As a result, the control means proceeds to block 74, finishes the current frame, and then waits for a delay equal to Td -Tcf. The control means then proceeds in block 76 to update the value of I, and commences acquisition of sequence I in block 78. The acquisition of frame series I continues until the next ECG trigger is received.
If it is determined in block 72 that Tcf is greater than Td, there is not enough time to finish the current frame. As a result, the control means in block 80 aborts the current frame, waits for time Td, and then proceeds to block 76 to begin acquisition of the new series. Acquisition of the new series continues until the next trigger is received, at which point the above-described process repeats.
In a second mode of operation, termed "freeze" mode, the ultrasound system operates in a manner generally similar to the first mode described above. However in freeze mode, after N series of frames have been stored in memory 22, the operator can enter a freeze command that suspends the writing of additional frames into memory 22. The "frozen" frames in memory 22 can then be played back in various manners, as described above. In freeze mode, control unit 26 can send a signal to the signal acquisition unit, causing the signal acquisition unit to suspend the production of new frames.
While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. For example, the trigger signal could be derived from a pressure cuff attached to the subject, or could be based upon the maximum Doppler shift or the maximum brightness of an image feature, as measured by the ultrasound system. The latter technique may be especially useful for fetal imaging. In addition, while the process shown in FIG. 5 is preferred, the invention could be implemented by always aborting the current frame when a trigger signal is received. Accordingly, the scope of the invention is to be determined by reference to the following claims.

Does anyone on this board know if ECL is a good place to work?
I just retired from Ecolab with 40 years. During that time I had 10 different positions. Must be a good place to work.Ecolab contributes to your 401k, contributes to stock purchase,gives a pension, health benefits, vacations. I had to respond because I get tired of the bashings from too many people on how bad Ecolab is. When you are a new hire, Ecolab gives you all the tools needed to be successful. It is like being in business for yourself with no investment. The only thing missing is your individual effort. Are there times of stress and frustration....hell yes. I thought of leaving many times, but then I would analyze how my family and I would benefit from leaving. Ecolab isn't for everyone, but neither are teachers, doctors, lawyers, retail, healthcare, finance, construction, etc. Don't bash a company because you were not successful working there. The question is "Is Ecolab a good place to work?" Yes it is, but it is up to you to make it happen! Sounds like life in General.
What a refreshing response...........appears that the willingness to work plays into the return on satisfaction.
If you get in with the good old boy network you will be fine ! Just do not ask ?s your boss does not know the answer to in front of a crowd at national planning day !
I am just curious, why do you want to know??
If I had my interview on Thursday of this past week, when it is appropriate, without seeming desperate to contact the manager who I met with?
Do woodchucks chuck wood?
How long is the interview process? I just had my initial phone interview, I believe it went well, does anyone know how long it takes to hear back?
I retired from Ecolab. 28 years. Ecolab is a great worldwide company. Call them, let them know you are eager and agressive. Hound them, don't be complacent, call daily. If you are going into sales this will indicate to them that you won't take no for an answer. Good luck, don't listen to any of this negative talk on the message board. Ecolab is the best in the world at what they do!
No Way baby
Congratulations on your promotion. What are some of the ideas you would like to see Ecolab initiate?
Coolguy who is blowing off some steam!! First off, I haven't been on this site for awhile, but am very impressed that you replied to a post of mine from 2007!!! Just by chance I decided to check out the ol' message boards.
Coolguy it is like this, I am no longer a TM for Ecolab. I decided it was time to move on. I wanted more control of "my business." So two promotions later I am now a DM. Everything I have ever said here was true. And I did have over a hundred accounts, and I worked far more than 76 hour weeks when I needed to. But that was not the norm. As a DM I see many TM work styles. Those that are organized and competent and work smart have a much easier time than those that do not. Just as in any company in America, nobody agrees with everything their company does. Instead of getting on public message boards to whine and complain, I chose to start moving up in the ranks to start influencing decisions in ways I think best for the associates and the company.
Coolguy, don't be part of the problem, be part of the solution!! Wish you the best.
IF you were able to do what you say you did then it's because you have a little hole in the wall route! Do you have 100+ account's..Prooooooobably NOT!! Have you had to work a 76 hour week? Proooooobably NOT.. Well I do and I have!!! If you run a farm, play with your kids and spend time your wife and do othe activities then you have a Milk Route...one that can basically run itself! I do work for Ecolab and I'm here to tell you that this company doesn't give a s%#! about us!
They say "This is your business" BUT they tie your hands so that you CAN'T run it like it's "Your business", they Tell you what you should be doing and when you should be doing it. IF it was my business I would be making A LOT more $$$ than I am right now, especially for the hours I'm working. IF it was my business and I had a customer complain about pricing because a competitor offered something Very comperable but at a much lower price, then I would do what I had to do to keep the business..BUT Eclob decides that for me, so If I loose that account because of competitor pricing, I HURT way more than the company does!!! I bought that account but it's up to Eclob to decide if they want to keep it. Wait, Isn't This is my business? Also, don't say "well, if the customer was happy with you, then they would stay" BS!! Because my customer LOVES me, but bottom line...competitor is offering the SAME thing for much less!!

It is the product of a cosmic collaboration, combining data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the Spitzer Space Telescope.
The Chandra X-ray image is shown in blue and is helping astronomers understand the high-energy particles coming from the dead star's core, known as a white dwarf.
The Hubble images of visible light are in yellow and red and the Spitzer infrared image is shown in purple, capturing the nebula's expanding debris cloud.
The nebula is the remnant of a stellar explosion 6,000 light-years from Earth. According to Nasa, the explosion was so powerful that people saw the burst in A.D. 1054.
X-ray data from Chandra provides significant clues to the workings of the nebula, which produces energy at the rate of 100,000 suns.

Julian Isla has spent night after sleepless night awake, listening for signs that his son, Sergio, is having a seizure. Sergio has Dravet syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy, and attacks occur more frequently when a child sleeps. The Kinect for Windows v2 sensor, being used in the "Night Seizure Monitor" research project by a nonprofit foundation, is proving to be an important sentinel allowing parents like Julian to get some much-needed rest.
The project's aim is to track a child's movements while sleeping. "When the Kinect sensor detects movements that follow a seizure pattern, an alarm warns parents that their child might be having a seizure," writes Ana Isabel Zorrilla, project manager at the nonprofit EIC BBK-Dravet Syndrome Foundation, in a guest blog post. "This solution provides dual benefits: when a seizure is detected, the monitor system ensures that the child gets medication right away to reduce the length and intensity of the episode. And when no seizures occur, the monitor enhances family's quality of life, because parents are able to enjoy a restful sleep."
While the use of monitors to detect seizures is not groundbreaking, what "is new and exciting is the Kinect sensor's exquisite sensitivity, the result of its multisensory inputs."
Julian Isla, who currently works for Microsoft in Madrid managing a team of software consultants, says, "With a color camera, an infrared detector, and an array of microphones, the Kinect sensor can detect physical movement and acoustical changes with tremendous accuracy."

Doc Soup: Doc Highlights at the Toronto International Film Festival
What a great film festival. Maybe it's how lovely Toronto is in September. Maybe it's the enthusiastic audiences. Maybe it's the great restaurants. Or maybe it's how the festival treats otherwise art-house fare like big blockbusters. These are just a few of the reasons I have always loved the Toronto International Film Festival over the […]

Dell Deliver, which can be deployed through a number of different models, is built on the company's PowerEdge 12th generation servers with software from EdgeCast Networks and Elemental Technologies. The solution includes video processing software from Elemental Technologies that add additional cost and performance benefits to the customer.
Elemental's software leverages massively parallel NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs) and Intel processors to offer a dense and cost-effective transcoding solution. With the central management portal, customers can deploy, procure and monitor their CDN in one portal, allowing staff to manage resources without manual intervention, and the solution's self-provisioning tool not only lets administrators easily separate usage statistics, reporting and internal billing, but also allows them to go out and sell these features to their customers.
Deliver's multitier caching hierarchy provides automated analytics capabilities that can determine what content is more popular and store that content in locations where it is being consumed, minimizing traffic between delivery nodes, and content is protected by a range of advanced security features and supports digital rights management (DRM) solutions.
Dell Deliver is a formidable opponent to Medianet, Cisco Systems' enterprise CDP it debuted in 2009. Other vendors have also joined the CDP fray, including IBM with its Content Manager platform and Alcatel-Lucent with its Velocix offering.
With IT infrastructure management and maintenance growing more complicated for network operators as demand grows for IP-based, bandwidth-hogging content, VARs need to tell their customers they can deliver—and Dell wants to help them do that. Message received.

The U.S. Marine Corps celebrates its 236th birthday today.
At every post in the Corps, Marines will share a cake and honor their history, as they did at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Triangle, Va.
"We all share the same stories, maybe at a different time or place, but we all share the same stories," said Cpl. Edward Parker of Portsmouth, Va.
In this time-honored tradition, the first piece of cake goes to the oldest marine present, which was 88-year-old tech Sergeant Robert Janke.
He then gives it to the youngest marine present, 22-year-old Corporal Samuel Bundy.
"I didn't realize I'd be the youngest Marine, I figured they'd use one of the active-duty marines- myself, I just got out this summer," Cpl. Bundy said.
The ceremony symbolizes the passing of experience and knowledge to the next generation of Marines.
"This is to show how seriously we take our marine corps. Heritage and how important Nov. 10th is and we do this every year on this day," said Gunnery Sergeant Gary Porter.
The first Marines served in of 1775. The celebrations will continue throughout the evening, Veterans Day, and Saturday evening at the commandant's Marine Corps birthday ball at the Gaylord Convention Center at National Harbor.
"For the rest of your life you will stand at attention and honor those who've gone before, those who are fighting now and those who have paid the full price," said retired Marine Bill Peters.

What to do in Oklahoma on April 19, 2014: See Oklahoma City Ballet's "Beauty and the Beast"
Today's featured event:
See the Oklahoma City Ballet's new adaptation of the "tale as old as time" "Beauty and the Beast" at 2 and 8 p.m. today at the Civic Center Music Hall, 201 N Walker. The performance are the final of the company's 2013-14 season.
As previously reported, audiences won't find talking candlesticks and frolicking flatware, but the ballet company's version of "Beauty and Beast" boasts plenty of magic, including sprites and goblins, an enchanted peacock and of course, the powerful witch who turns the prince into the Beast. When he was adapting the story, OKC Ballet Artistic Director Robert Mills told me in an interview he had to pick and choose what he would take from the various versions of the venerable tale, including the Walt Disney one.
"When we did 'Phantom of the Opera' it was a concern as well. You know, people think so readily of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, and I think with this, people do think readily of the Disney cartoon," Mills said. "I would say what we're doing is probably a lot darker than the Disney cartoon. It's actually, I would say, more real, as real as this fantasy can be. There's plenty of funny things, there's plenty of cute things, but it's a little … more adult in nature — but still something that families and children will absolutely enjoy."
Since the ballet focuses so much of the title couple, that means the dancers in those roles have to largely carry the production, which features plenty of duet dancing, or pas de deux. Principal dancers Ronnie Underwood and Yui Sato are splitting time as the Beast during the three-show run, while principal dancer Miki Kawamura and company artist DaYoung Jung are performing as Belle.

Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn and the head of the City Council's public-safety committee said Friday they would welcome a federal civil-rights investigation of the Seattle Police Department requested by the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington and 34 other groups.
Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn and the head of the City Council's public-safety committee said Friday they would welcome a federal civil-rights investigation of the Seattle Police Department requested by the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington and 34 other groups.
"It's the city's practice to engage with the Department of Justice when there are allegations of civil-rights violations," McGinn said in a statement released through a spokesman. "We welcome their participation."
In their request, the ACLU and other organizations assert that some Seattle police officers appear to "inflict injury out of anger" at suspects rather than to protect public safety.
"Distrust of the police by communities of color grows as a result, and it becomes harder for the Seattle Police Department to do its job of keeping all Seattle residents safe," says a six-page letter sent Thursday to the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division in Washington, D.C., and U.S. Attorney Jenny Durkan in Seattle.

The letter asks the Justice Department to conduct a "pattern or practice" investigation to determine whether Seattle police have violated the civil rights of suspects, particularly minorities, during a series of violent confrontations in the past 18 months.
Justice Department spokeswoman Xochitl Hinojosa in Washington, D.C., said Friday the letter is under review.
City Councilmember Tim Burgess, chair of the council's public-safety committee, said in a written statement that he welcomed a federal review and said Police Chief John Diaz has regularly consulted with federal officials.
Burgess said "this collaboration can only strengthen the department" and "officers should embrace this type of outside scrutiny and accountability that affirms their work and holds them to the high standards they set for themselves."
Rich O'Neill, president of the Seattle Police Officers' Guild, reacted sharply Friday, calling the request "grandstanding" by the ACLU.
O'Neill said if the Justice Department opts to look at the department, it won't find institutional racism or civil-rights violations.
"These are incidents that are skewed and have been blown out proportion," he said, arguing that officers have used appropriate force in videotaped incidents cited in the letter to the Justice Department.
The videotaped confrontations include an officer kicking and threatening to beat the "Mexican piss" out of a prone Latino man in April; the repeated kicking of an African-American teen during an arrest inside a convenience store in October; and the pummeling of an African-American man in a police lobby in June 2009 in which officers were cleared of wrongdoing.
Also cited is an officer's fatal shooting in August of First Nations woodcarver John T. Williams, which led to protests that the officer acted too hastily and, according to sources, a preliminary finding by the Police Department that the officer's action were unjustified.
The letter also points to jaywalking incidents that have led to physical clashes, including an officer's videotaped punching of an African-American teen in June. Four different Seattle police auditors have raised concerns about such stops, the letter notes.
Diaz has sought to quell outrage over some of the incidents, opening internal investigations, making changes to bolster training and reaching out to community groups.
But the letter asserts city leaders and the Police Department haven't adequately addressed "disturbing incidents of excessive force." It asks the Justice Department to examine why officers haven't used alternative techniques to de-escalate confrontations and "whether officers view the use of force differently" when confronting minorities.
Among those signing the letter were the Loren Miller Bar Association, a statewide organization of 300 African-American attorneys and judges, and the Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness.
Nicole A. Gaines, president of the bar group, said she found the incidents to be "alarming," particularly in light of promises from McGinn and police officials to make improvements.
"At this point, we have no confidence that the Seattle Police Department or those involved in the administration of the criminal-justice system in Seattle are making this a priority to make changes," Gaines said in an interview.
Alison Eisinger, executive director of the homeless coalition, said the letter should be seen as a "genuine effort to improve our Police Department, not as an opportunity to, quote unquote, bash the police."
Other groups who signed the letter include El Centro de la Raza, the Seattle King County Branch of the NAACP, the Central Area Motivation Program, OneAmerica, Community Christian Leaders Coalition and Mothers for Police Accountability.
The ACLU had announced Nov. 18 its intent to make the request, after news reports of the convenience-store incident.
The Justice Department, which was given broad authority in 1994 to conduct civil-rights investigations of police departments in the aftermath of the police beating of Rodney King in Los Angeles, will decide whether to open a preliminary inquiry.
If a full investigation is ordered, the Justice Department would conduct a top-to-bottom review of Seattle police operations. It could work with the department to remedy problems or, if constitutional violations are uncovered, seek written settlements to ensure reforms.
In their letter to the Justice Department, the ACLU and other organizations say the Justice Department is well-equipped to determine whether police employees have promptly reported excessive force and fully investigated allegations of abuses, and to provide "technical assistance, advice and guidance" to the city.
"Most Seattle police officers are devoted to their mission of public safety. We recognize, too, that the police department has some training programs in place and has taken other steps designed to curb unwarranted use of force. However, disturbing incidents of excessive force have … continued, especially against people of color," Kathleen Taylor, executive director of the ACLU of Washington, said in a written statement Friday.
Seattle Times staff reporters Mike Carter and Lynn Thompson contributed to this report, which includes information from Seattle Times archives.

Triple H takes a lot of heat for marrying Vince McMahon's daughter. Many have stated that his success in the largest wrestling federation is attributed to that. Many of his peers however have gone constantly on record that few have ever worked harder to achieve the success that he did, and despite the criticism he has received, Triple H has proven to be a very good professional wrestler.
After Triple H's last match with the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 28, Jim Ross proclaimed it an "end of an era". Although "The Game" is still in excellent shape and could maintain a regular schedule, it is apparent that he will now be a special attraction and move on to a more behind the scenes role. It may be a loss for wrestling fans, but honestly, did he have anything left to prove?
Triple H won every title in the WWE worth winning, had matches of the year, and when he wanted to make fans laugh, could do so with the greatest of ease. He was also equally successful as one of the most dastardly heels in WWE history. Regardless of who he married, Triple H had a Hall of Fame Career. We are just curious what year it will happen.

Salmon angling is concentrated in four locales in Southwest Washington: The North Fork Lewis and lower Cowlitz rivers, the Columbia at Lady Island and the mouth and lower Klickitat River.
Bank anglers near the salmon hatchery on the North Lewis averaged just less than a coho per every other rod including fish released. At Lady Island, the average was about a coho per two boats.
Coho catches also have been excellent at the mouth of the Klickitat River at Lyle. More than 215,200 coho have crossed Bonneville Dam, with the run typically 97 percent complete as of Monday.
Seventy to 80 boats are trolling at the mouth of the Klickitat on weekend mornings.
Two weeks ago, four early returning winter steelhead made their way back to the Cowlitz Salmon Hatchery.
Beginning Sunday, fishing for salmon is closed from Beacon Rock to Bonneville Dam. The closure is to protect wild chum and fall chinook which spawn in the area.
Although no checks are available, trout fishing should be good at Swift Reservoir, which remains open through Nov. 30. The reservoir is 19 feet below full pool. The boat ramp is usable to 25 feet below full.
Angler checks from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and Oregon Department of Fish and WIldlife (ODFW):
Lower Columbia — Estuary, two boaters and one bank rod with no salmon. (WDFW)
Longview, two boaters with no salmon. (WDFW)
Cowlitz River mouth, five boaters with no salmon or steelhead. (WDFW)
Davis Bar to Portland airport tower, two boaters with no salmon. (WDFW)
Troutdale, 46 boats with eight salmon. (ODFW)
Camas-Washougal, 97 boaters with 22 adult coho and one adult chinook kept plus three adult coho released; six bank rods with no sturgeon; 13 boaters with 50 sublegal sturgeon released. (WDFW)
North Bonneville, two bank rods with no salmon or steelhead; 370 bank rods with 34 legal sturgeon kept plus one oversize and 43 sublegals released; eight boaters with 44 sublegal sturgeon released. (WDFW)
Mid-Columbia — Bonneville pool, 202 boaters with 212 adult coho and five bass kept plus three adult chinook, six adult coho and one steelhead released. (WDFW)
Cowlitz — Forty boaters with 11 adult coho, one jack coho and one adult chinook kept plus one adult and three jack coho released; 99 bank rods with 21 adult coho, one steelhead and two cutthroat trout kept plus eight adult and one jack coho released. (WDFW)
Kalama — Thirty-three bank rods with four adult coho and a steelhead kept plus four adult chinook and seven adult coho released. (WDFW)
Lewis — Five bank rods with no catch; 20 boaters with six adult coho kept. (WDFW)
North Fork Lewis — Twenty-three boaters with nine adult coho kept and four released; 367 bank rods with 106 adult coho, four jack coho and four steelhead kept plus 17 adult chinook, 43 adult coho and three jack coho released. (WDFW)

The chairman and chief executive of IBM on the change agents of the 21st century.
A few years ago, the world crossed a threshold. For the first time, more than half the human race is living in cities. By 2050 the figure will rise to 70 percent. We are adding the equivalent of seven New Yorks to the planet every year.
This means the most important locus for 21st-century innovation--technological, economic, and societal--will be our cities. They present the most promising opportunity to make our planet smarter.
Cities bring together the systems by which our world works: education, transportation, public safety, and health care, among others.
We have the capacity to inject new intelligence into those systems. Enormous computational power can be delivered in forms so small and inexpensive that it is being put into phones, cars, and appliances, as well as things we wouldn't recognize as computers, such as roadways (to monitor traffic) or rivers (to monitor pollution and better allocate water use). The data captured by these digital devices--soon to number in the trillions--will be turned to intelligence, because we now have the processing power and advanced analytics to make sense of it all.
Our challenge is to apply this technology to improving the places we live. Consider the applications:
Transportation Car ownership in emerging markets is growing from less than one in 10 people to one in three. Integrated technology can allow cities to alleviate traffic. IBM helped Stockholm implement a congestion-management system that reduced traffic by 18 percent.
Energy and Water Cities generate the bulk of CO2 emissions and account for 60 percent of all human water use. As urbanization levels increase, city leaders must satisfy demands for water and energy while promoting the sustainable use of resources. Malta, for example, is building a fully integrated national electricity and water system that will monitor usage, set variable rates, and reward those who use less energy and water.
Health Care As populations grow, cities' health-care systems will be pushed to the limit. In a smart health-care system, patients, doctors, and insurers can all share information seamlessly. Sainte-Justine, a research hospital in Montreal, is automating the gathering of critical research data and applying analytics to speed childhood cancer research.
Education There are more than 15,000 local school districts in the United States delivering K-12 programs, with separate operating systems, measurements, and management processes. …
