Introduction to Catalytic Converters
Materials Used in Catalytic Converters
Different Variations of Catalytic Converters
Environmental Impact of Catalytic Converters
A catalytic converter is a vehicle emissions control device that is used to convert toxic byproducts of combustion (occurring in the exhaust of an internal combustion engine) to less toxic substances by performing catalysed chemical reactions. The reactions tend to vary depending upon the type of catalyst installed.
The catalytic converter was invented by Eugene Houdry, a French mechanical engineer involved with catalytic oil refining. In 1973 former General Motors President Robert Stempel decided to begin implementation of the catalytic converter in automobiles.
Since then many scientists have been working on the development of the catalytic converter and as of 2010, catalytic converters have become mandatory on all cars in the US.
Although catalytic converters are primarily used in exhaust systems in automobiles, it is also modified and used on trucks, buses, forklifts, mining equipment, generator sets, locomotives, motorcycles, airplanes and other engine-fitted devices. They are also used on some wood stoves to control emissions.
The catalytic converter is made up of several materials. The catalyst core or substrate varies according to the vehicle. For example, in automotive catalytic converters, the core is usually a ceramic monolith with a honeycomb structure.
When manufactured in large quantities, ceramic cores can be inexpensive. Metallic foil monoliths are made of iron-chromium-aluminum combination, and used in some applications. Metallic cores are less expensive when manufactured for use in small production runs, such as in sportscars in which low back pressure and reliability under constant high load is essential. Both these materials are designed to provide a high surface area to support the catalyst washcoat. Cordierite ceramic substrates can also be used in most catalytic converters.
The catalyst washcoat is a carrier for the catalytic materials, which is used to disperse the materials over a high surface area. Titanium dioxide, aluminium oxide, silicon dioxide, or a combination of silica and alumina can be used. The catalytic materials are suspended in the washcoat before application to the core. Washcoat materials have rough, irregular surface to increase surface area, which helps to maximize the catalytically active surface available to react with the engine exhaust.
The catalyst used in the converter is mostly a precious metal such as platinum, palladium and rhodium. Platinum is used as a reduction catalyst and as an oxidation catalyst. Although platinum is a very active catalyst and widely used, it is very expensive and not suitable for all applications. Rhodium is used as a reduction catalyst, while palladium is used as an oxidation catalyst.
In some cases, cerium, iron, manganese and nickel are also used. However, some companies forbid the use of some of these.
The key types of catalytic converters are listed below with a brief introduction:
Two-way oxidation catalytic converter - The two-way oxidation catalytic converter performs two simultaneous tasks of oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide and oxidation of hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide and water. This converter is widely used on diesel engines to reduce hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions. However, this is no longer used in the U.S. and Canada due to their inability to control oxides of nitrogen.
Three-way oxidation-reduction catalytic converters - The three-way oxidation-reduction catalytic converters are used in vehicle emission control systems in most parts of the world including the U.S. and Canada. The strict vehicle emission regulations have almost made it mandatory to use the three-way converters on gasoline-powered vehicles. These converters have come to be recognized as one of the most important inventions in the history of the automobiles. These perform three simultaneous tasks, namely, reduction of nitrogen oxides to nitrogen and oxygen, oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, and oxidation of unburnt hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide and water.
Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) - It is the most commonly used catalytic converter for compression-ignition such as diesel engines. This device uses oxygen in the exhaust gas stream to convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons to water and carbon dioxide. These converters are known to perform at 90% efficiency, wherein they manage to remove diesel odor and reduce visible particulates.
The catalytic converter was specifically invented to decrease harmful pollution caused by the combustion of hydrocarbon-based fossil fuels in cars. Studies reveal that catalytic converters can decrease hydrocarbon emissions by about almost 87%, carbon monoxide by 85%, and nitrous oxide by 62% during the expected life of a vehicle.
In 1985, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency stated that catalytic converters helped save 10 times more than the price of a catalytic converter in health costs.

Love the LED lights
December 20, 2012
Reviewer: Loves Christmas! from Naples, FL United States
The tree arrived in a very timely manner. Opened the box to make sure all the lights worked, and was very pleased with the LED lights. Bought this tree for the width. Although I didn't open fully, I feel it's going to be perfect!

I had trouble finding the plug connections on each section. The instructions need to tell that the top plugs into the middle section and the bottom plugs into the middle section as well. A beautiful tree and I really like the lights. Received my order really quick.

Like the tree
October 15, 2012
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Venice, FL United States
Even though I haven't completely put the tree together yet, It seems easy to assemble with just a few pieces. I especially like the lights because they are different than the usual tree lights. They are larger, round, and bright. I plugged in the lights to make sure they all work, and they all lit. Our tree arrived quicker than I thought it would in a big box. The tree seems sturdy and the stand seems to be heavy enough to hold the tree safely. I appreciate the extra lights and parts--just in case I need them. I can hardly wait for Christmas to decorate our new tree.

August 14, 2012
Reviewer: Nancy Samoraj from Chicago, IL United States
I am delighted with this tree. For it's size and appearance you would expect a very heavy and cumbersome tree but it is easy to handle and light enough that I can carry each section from storage with no problem. The tree arrived undamaged and I tested each section. They lit and all bulbs were intact and unbroken. I am very anxious to display this tree this Christmas. The brillance of the bulbs is amazing. The rep explained that this tree would be very bright and he was correct. I truly appreciated his help. Hurry Christmas! This is my second tree from Tree Classics and I would never go anywhere else for my trees. Their appearance is true to form and many of my guests were not sure if it was real or artifical - that's how perfect they are! Santa will be proud to put presents under this beautifu tree!

College Hockey:Merrimack's Rink Renovation Enters New Phase
NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. — It's been a long time coming, but slowly but surely, the three-phase renovation to Merrimack's S. Peter Volpe Athletic Center ice rink is taking shape.
Fans who attended the team's home opener Oct. 18 against Hockey East rival New Hampshire got a glimpse of what the future holds, and if the work done so far is any indication, the finished product should bring the suburban Boston school firmly into the 21st century in terms of Division I hockey facilities. And in a tip of the cap to the program's long and storied past, several alumni have banded together to lead a movement to name the renovated arena after legendary former coach J. Thom Lawler.
Two of the three phases of the project are done, with the third phase planned tentatively to begin construction in June 2003. Phase one, involving a new lobby, expanded weight room and new athletic offices, took place in 1999.
A new 7,500 square foot two story addition was the second phase, built during the summer of 2001. The addition's first floor includes a spacious new locker room, changing facilities, equipment and training rooms, lounge, and coaches' room.
"A first-class facility like this is a benefit to our recruiting efforts and the attitude of the team," associate head coach Mike Doneghey told the Eagle-Tribune. "This rivals any facility in Hockey East."
The lounge area features a large screen television and two computers with Internet access.
The addition also includes a locker room, coaches' room and shower area slated for women's hockey, which Merrimack is expected to add in the next few years. Hockey East has already announced plans for a women's league to begin no later than the fall of 2004. Currently, the area is used as an exercise room and officials' changing area.
The most visible change from inside the rink is the second story of the addition, featuring four new luxury boxes that overlook the ice surface. One box is reserved for use by school president Richard J. Santagati, while the other three are for lease at a cost of $15,000 a year. Two of the three boxes have been leased already. Each box includes a television, kitchen facilities and a refrigerator, as well as seats for visitors to watch the action on the ice.
Members of the team's new Blue Line Club also have a place to meet and eat during games in a comfortable club room that spans the other half of the second story. Previously, gatherings were held on the basketball court on the other side of the athletic center.
Phase three of the five year, $7.5-million project, slated to begin in 2003 following graduation in May, will involve the removal of the nearly 30-year old bleachers, relocating of the ice surface and the pouring of an oval shaped concrete foundation around the rink on which 3,000 individually backed seats will be installed.
As part of the fundraising for the project, backers are being offered the opportunity to sponsor a seat for $2,000.
A new 10,000-foot, two-story glazed lobby will be constructed, allowing fans to enter the arena directly from the parking lot. Fans will walk down to their seats from a concourse level overlooking the rink. The second floor of the lobby will have a 3,000 square foot VIP lounge, replacing the Blue Line Club room, which will be converted to a press box and four additional luxury boxes to give the facility a total of eight.
Director of Athletics Bob DeGregorio said that the school is exploring several options for games and practices during the 2003-04 season. Possible sites include the Valley Forum in Lawrence, Brooks School in North Andover, and Phillips Academy in Andover, all in Massachusetts, as well as the Icenter in Salem, N.H.
"There is also some talk that we play all three games at one school, say like BC, and we get a gate [receipts] from there, or maybe play in Salem [Icenter]," Doneghey told the Eagle Tribune. "Coach Serino lived through this already at UNH [during the construction of the Whittemore Center]. They lived on the road for the year."
In a challenge issued recently to the community, former players John Donovan, Ron Connors and Ken Duane have pledged to match up to $500,000 any donations earmarked for naming the renovated rink after Lawler, their former coach. Lawler coached Merrimack through its rise in Division II from 1965-78 and passed away unexpectedly at age 44, several months after directing the team to the 1978 NCAA Division II Championship.
"Coach Lawler had a substantial impact on the lives and careers of many, many Merrimack College hockey players. He was a great educator beyond the sport of hockey and to this day garners tremendous respect and affection from his former players, fans, alumni and the entire Merrimack College community," said Donovan.
It is expected that Merrimack will re-open the renovated facility during the 2004-05 season.

The Washington Nationals have claimed SS-3B Carlos Rivero on waivers from the Philadelphia Phillies.
Like Baltimore's Billy Rowell, Rivero has been stuck at AA for the past three seasons with the obligatory "but he's still young" caveat attached to him. This past season Rivero finally did well enough (.270/.326/.440) to get a cup of coffee at AAA where hit hit just .185/.233/.444 in seven games.
The knock on Rivero is that his defense has been suspect (.949FA in 497G as a SS) despite having a strong throwing arm. The shift to 3B has been unsuccessful (.908FA in 142G) and to paraphrase the pholks at Phuture Phillies: "It's a loss after a good rebound season, but he remains a deeply flawed prospect."
Rivero coincidentally was the subject for PhuturePhillies.com's look at the flip side of drafting international talent.
4 Responses to "Nats Claim Carlos Rivero On Waivers"
He's really slow that's likely part of the fielding problem. He's Chris Marrero that isn't too bad at other positions besides first base.
Meh. He's cover material at 3B-SS for either SYR or more likely HAR this year, imo.
We just gave away the farm… I'm crying on the inside a bit. I hope Gio is worth it

I feel that our various definitions, and desires, make it hard to find common ground, but the attempts are fascinating, and hopefully good natured.
Of course, all this pales into insignificance if the room acoustics are rubbish. You can have as accurate a system as you like, and then simply ruin the effect by accepting
loads of distortion through reflection etc. A bit like Ketchup on Caviare eh Serge? This never ending desire for better and better accuracy can become a little OCD (IMHO). Fact is most modern amps are good (if S/N ratio and THD is a measure of "good"), ditto source components, so the differences between them (so it seems to me) are largely synergy (ok, correct matching) and personal preference. To my mind the most important aspect is having the right loudspeakers for the room and making at least some attempt to correct unwanted reflections, bass boom or whatever. Thats where the real gains are to be had but the ironic thing is virtually no-one I know bothers with room acoustics even though they're willing to shell out £1000's on kit. May as well have a "Ketchup" system in that regard as long as you enjoy the sound
Logically, if you can hear it, then you can measure it. The questions then are:
- are we measuring the right thing?
- are the measurements sensitive enough?
I think that the second one must be answered mostly yes - we are using equipment to measure that we use to record in the first place. The problem, for me, is in correlating what we measure with what we hear. There is still a way to go, I think, before those charts in hifi mags actually make real audio sense to me.
But for me, it is the listening that is more commonly at fault. Using tools like audiodiffmaker, which just shows if there is a difference between two items, we often get 'clearly audible' differences that are demonstrably identical to -90dB, which you really will not hear. Unfortunately, the really acute measuring tools like this cannot show which is best, so we need to use our ears after all - but I think it's important to understand their fallibility.
It can be as accurate as you want, but unless you have perfect ears and wiring, it doesn't matter how it measures outside your head, it matters how it measures in your head, and to my knowledge, they can't do that very easily!
Do the measurements tell us anything meaningful ?
Why do people still bother with vinyl and valves when alternatives measure better ? Whats the point if our hearing does not support the measurements ?
Ridicule is nothing to be scared of
I'll stand up and be counted as someone
who wants a pleasing result, as it's highly unlikely I was there at the particular recording I can have no knowledge
if it's accurate or not. I'll leave it for others to lose sleep over this while I pour myself another glass of red
"If it measures good and sounds bad, it is bad. If it measures bad and sounds good, you've measured the wrong thing."

Greenhill (NYSE: GHL) is an independent investment banking firm that provides financial advice on major mergers, acquisitions, restructurings and similar corporate finance matters; and manages merchant banking funds and commits capital to those funds.
Company Description
Greenhill is an independent investment banking firm that
(i) provides financial advice on significant mergers, acquisitions, restructurings and similar corporate finance matters as well as fund placement services for private equity and other financial sponsors and
(ii) manages merchant banking funds and similar vehicles and commits capital to those funds and vehicles.
They act for clients located throughout the world from offices in New York, London, Frankfurt, Toronto, Tokyo, Chicago, Dallas, and San Francisco. Their activities constitute a single business segment with two principal sources of revenue:
- Financial advisory, which includes engagements relating to mergers and acquisitions, financing advisory and restructuring, and fund placement advisory; and
- Merchant banking, which includes the management of outside capital invested in the firm's merchant banking funds and other similar vehicles, primarily Greenhill Capital Partners ("GCP I"), Greenhill Capital Partners II ("GCP II"), Greenhill Capital Partners Europe ("GCP Europe"), and Greenhill SAV Partners ("GSAVP" together with GCP I, GCP II, and GCP Europe, the "Greenhill Funds"), and the firm's principal investments in the Greenhill Funds and other merchant banking funds and similar vehicles.
Historically, Greenhill's financial advisory business has accounted for the majority of our revenues. However, there have been periods, such as the second quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2006, in which the revenues of their merchant banking business outweighed our financial advisory revenues. Since the initial public offering the financial advisory business has generated 84% of total revenues and their merchant banking and other business has generated approximately 16% of our total revenue.
The main driver of the financial advisory business is overall mergers and acquisitions, or M&A, and restructuring volume, particularly in the industry sectors and geographic markets in which they focus.
The principal drivers of their merchant banking revenues are management fees paid by the Greenhill funds and realized and unrealized gains on investments and profit overrides, the size and timing of which are tied to a number of different factors including the performance of the particular companies in which they invest, general economic conditions in the debt and equity markets and other factors which affect the industries in which they invest, such as commodity prices.

Where's the Eggs? (8 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
A few weeks before easter I decided that I really wanted to do something fun and simple for my daughter to celebrate Easter. She is at the age where everything is new and exciting so I came to the conclusion an Easter egg hunt would be a blast for her. I set a budget of $20 including the food and easter egg fillers. I still can't believe it but I came within my budget and the party came out perfect. I do have to say this most of the easter decorations used I already owened so it did help a lot with sticking to the budget. I decided to use my daughters play log cabin and turn it into the Easter bunnies house by putting a fun whimsical planter with pinwheels and grass by the front door, I also put a little vase inside with a giant daisy and to add a little extra I strong a few plastic carrots (like drying meat) and hung them from the roof. I made a little pathway that lead from the treat table to the Easter bunnies house using foam daisies on a stick and pinwheels from the Dollar Tree. For the treat table I went simple. I had sugar cookies that the girls helped decorate, marshmallow ropes from the Dollar Tree, bunny bait, cupakes and Easter bunny Triffle which was rice crispy treats,peeps and spring oreos, we also had chocolate dipped marshmallow which according to my daughter are the Easter bunnies favorite food so I had to make them. I used a free subway art print from My Paper lily also on the table. All other paper products including the banner where hand made by me. This party was such a blast for all the kids that attended and the adults.

Even if condoms don't seem necessary, every sexually active woman should have an HIV test every year. Make a habit of asking for one at your physical or gynecological exam. (It is covered by most insurance companies; check with yours first to be sure.) Your husband or partner should get checked too. Many states also provide free, anonymous testing through their departments of health (Google "free anonymous AIDS test" and the name of your state). The process is surprisingly easy: The so-called rapid test costs just $10 and provides a result in only 10 minutes (you'll need to get a confirmatory test if yours comes back positive). Some don't even require giving blood; doctors can swab the inside of your mouth or use a urine sample.
Removing the stigma of HIV testing will go a long way toward defeating this disease, experts say. Health officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are urging doctors to integrate testing so seamlessly into healthcare that any time a person between the ages of 13 and 64 enters a clinic, doctor's office or hospital, they'll be given one, unless they specifically decline. As Carole puts it, "It's always better to know. And if you're diagnosed, don't give up or hide. Hope and health are the two most important things."
Helping Women Live Longer
The newest generation of anti-HIV drugs — a multi-drug combination called highly active antiretroviral therapy — may in some cases reduce AIDS deaths by 80 percent, if treatment begins before there is major damage to the immune system and if the medications are taken diligently. "Folks who have HIV disease today can anticipate a normal lifespan," says Kevin Cranston, director of the HIV/AIDS Bureau for the Massachusetts Department of Health. "That's something I could never have dreamed of at the beginning of this epidemic."
Another big plus: The multi-drug regimen appears to be less toxic to women than older drugs were. Tested almost exclusively on men, some of the earliest anti-HIV drugs were later found to hurt women's livers or cause birth defects. One powerful drug that Carole took for years eventually caused lipodystrophy, a sometimes disfiguring shift of body fat. "I used to be beautiful," Carole says. "But now my face is sucked in. And with my high cheekbones, it's really pronounced." Oddly, lipodystrophy melts fat away in the face, arms and legs while adding it to the abdomen, breasts and back. "I have skinny little arms, no ass and big boobies," Carole admits. "It's a real chore to find clothes."
The newest medications don't seem to have those effects, says UCLA's Judy Currier. However, not everyone can tolerate them, and the jury is still out on their long-term safety: There's evidence that the regimen, combined with the underlying HIV, may increase the risk of heart attack, diabetes, high cholesterol, and poor bone density. Nonetheless, Currier is pleased at the progress. "We lost so many people because we didn't have effective drugs," she says. "It's difficult to live with HIV, but, ultimately, treatment is what keeps people alive."

Lead Pastor's Blog: The Tale of Two Men
Categories: News & Updates
Let me tell you about two men I know. Both men would profess to know Jesus Christ as their Saviour. Their independent journeys to find Christ are different but the destination is the same. The one man I know significantly better than the other man but let me tell you about them.
They were in a meeting together and the one man wore a button down collared shirt. The other man wore a faded tee shirt. One man wore jeans that had a hole in them by design. The other man wore jeans that had holes in them because they were worn. One man had well made shoes that matched his wardrobe. The other man had running shoes that had seen too many miles. When they were leaving to finish their respective days the one man put on his leather jacket and the other man slipped on a well-worn winter jacket.
One man walks to a lot of his destinations as he shares a vehicle with his wife. The other man drives in his newer model car and his wife drives in her own car. One man has a staff that works for him and the other man has a few co-workers working with him. One man has a curiosity about the inner city in which he lives. The other man has a passion for the people of the inner city in which he lives.
One man's hands will touch drugs, puke, homeless people, weapons, dirt, empty bottles and backpacks in any given day. The other man's hands will touch a laptop, iphone, ipad, books, bibles, office furniture and a personal coffee thermos on any given day.
One man's hands will touch people in such a way as to be the hands and feet of Jesus. The other man will talk about the need to be the hands and feet of Jesus. One man will look into the face of one person at a time and tell them they are valuable and loved by God no matter what their circumstances might be. The other man will look at hundreds of people and remind them that because God loves them they need to be the hands and feet of Jesus to those who don't know that God loves them.
One man's heart is broken by the brokenness he sees in the people he serves. The other man's heart is broken by the hardness of the hearts of many of the people he serves. One man touches the poor day by day. The other man reads about the poor once in a while. One man knows the poor by name. The other man knows the rich by name. One man stops and has a conversation with the poorly dressed person on the street. The other man walks around and avoids the poorly dressed person on the street. One man fights for the welfare of the disadvantaged. The other man fights to keep what he already has.
One man read Matthew 25:40 and had no problems because he was doing good to the least of these. ("I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.") The other man read those same words and shuddered wondering how he could explain the words in such a way so that they would not apply to him.
Two men living two lives in the same city serving the same God. Something has got to change. We must stop looking at the people who are actually serving the poor as the weird, oddballs who have a strange calling. We must come to recognize that God "calls" each and every one of us who dare to call ourselves followers of Christ to serve those less fortunate than ourselves.
These days as I look into my own spiritual mirror I do not like the image I see of myself. I do not like the image of the church I see. Something has got to change……in me. What about in you? I came across this prayer recently. Will you pray it with me? "Here we stand, Lord. Purify us. Here we kneel Lord, we lift you up. Here we lay, our faces down. Wreck us, Lord. And do a mighty work."
May God do a mighty work in me…and in you.

So I went home with some chick last night... I'm not sue what's worse: not getting a nut at 5am, the condom breaking and not being replaced, feeling poo when I put my finger in her but, sleeping on a heroin mattress in her living room, her swine flu coughing fit at 7am or realizing she peed the matt at 10am.

At The Weathered Door, Reeves explains that when friends of the family passed along this nightstand to her, it was blonde wood with a very funky crackle finish.
Reeves says that nightstands are one of her favorite refinishing projects, because "They are quick to paint because of their size and I like being able to use bright colors once in a while." She chose a bright blue for this one, which looks fantastic. The colorful hue really brings out the piece's details, like the beaded boards on the side and the interesting doors.

Saving children from the Internet's dark side
Special to The Times
Watch my report on Panama to the Seaport Alliance
Thank you for visiting! Please contact me with any questions.
"The people of this state do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies that serve them. The people…do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know. The people insist on remaining informed so that they may maintain control over the instruments that they have created…"
The above text, from the state's Open Records Act, is one of my favorites. It really captures how I feel about the role of government in our lives. Government is here to serve us, not the other way around. And, I support all of the 10 amendments in the U.S. Constitution's Bill of Rights, not just a few.
Since being first elected to the state Senate in 1990, I have focused my time and energy on several important issues, most notably public safety and elections. I have prime-sponsored numerous pieces of legislation to encourage government accountability, and the protection of ballots and other important election materials. I also have worked to control property taxes, build public parks, keep sex predators out of neighborhoods, and crack down on meth crime.
I also have been active in promoting the teaching of other languages in Washington's public elementary schools, particularly Chinese and Spanish. Over the years, I have traveled to Honduras and China on charity and trade missions. In June 2007, I led a delegation of 11 Washington state legislators and seven educators to China. In 2003, I founded La Escuela de Esperanza (School of Hope), which provides teachers, education material and humanitarian relief for Honduran children.
In the summer of 2003, I participated in an International Republican Institute program by teaching democracy to the women of the East Timor Parliament. I also led a tour to the island of Atauro to show the members of that parliament how to hold town meetings.
I always enjoy hearing from my constituents about issues, so please don't hesitate to call, write or e-mail me using the information on this page.
It continues to be an honor and a privilege to serve in the Washington State Senate.

Arthur Chu's remarkable winning streak on Jeopardy came to an end today when he missed the Final Jeopardy question during his 12th appearance on the long-running quiz show. Deadspin reports that Chu's final question had to do with British Royalty.
ALSO: Mike Judge takes on 'Silicon Valley' in new HBO comedy series
A voice over actor from Ohio, Chu has attracted negative reaction from many viewers for his jumpy style of game-play which involved hopping from one category to the next at random while hunting for the Daily Double questions early in each round. His interview style and habit of cutting off host Alex Trebek when selecting clues has been widely lampooned on fan message boards.
Fans of the unlikely star shouldn't feel too bad. Going into today's game, Chu had already won $297,200 and was ranked third all-time in regular season winnings. This is almost certainly not going to be his final appearance on Jeopardy, either, as his huge winnings virtually assure him a spot in the show's annual Tournament of Champions.
Chu will be live tweeting tonight's episode, as he has every night of his run, starting at 7:00 p.m. Eastern.

World Tour in Beach Volleyball has taken place 11 successive years in Stavanger, Norway. I have been a photographer for the organizer every time. In 2009 the event was World Championships, for men and for women. This book is from these championships.
The book contains 350 pictures. I have tried to present some images that you usually don't see from these events, but most of them are action images. There are also portraits of 75 of the competing players.
Some may find the price a bit high. This is because each book is printed on demand. Blurb only print a book when someone orders it. I am sorry about this, but it is the only way I could have the book made.

April 17, 2016
My stay at Staybridge has always been exceptional. I have been very impressed with their social hour events because I feel there is consideration of what "at the end of the day" way to relax. The room layout works so well. The kitchen allows for cooking, accommodated with plates, glasses, eating utensils, the works. Did not script with a dorm refrigerator and micro wave. I have long graduated from that. If I had to stay there over 3-4 days, I would not be out of pocket for food by having a full service kitchen.
Staff is great! Everytime!

With more diners in Singapore appreciating wine, the need for well-trained and knowledgeable sommeliers is vital for any respectable restaurant to provide an exceptional all-round dining experience.
Three young sommeliers from award-wining restaurants in Marina Bay Sands have been flying the flag high for the profession, competing in national and regional competitions and winning well-deserved accolades.
In the recent 4th Southeast Asia Best Sommelier Competition, organised by the South East Asia Alliance (including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore and Taiwan as a supporter of the Alliance), Han Yew Kong from Osteria Mozza emerged champion among 11 of the region's best and was named Best Sommelier in Southeast Asia.
Earlier this year, in the national round of the Best Sommelier Competition, Han was also named the Best Sommelier in Malaysia; while Britt Ng from db Bistro Moderne was first runner-up. Considering that it was Ng's first attempt at any sommelier competition, this win was an impressive achievement for the Assistant Sommelier who started out as just a service attendant at the restaurant.
Marina Bay Sands, whose wine programmes are conducted by wine director Alphonse Kaelbelis, cemented its lead in the competition as Jonathan Tangalin Comia, then a Service Attendant at RISE restaurant, bagged the first runner-up position at the Singapore Sommelier Challenge 2013. The Challenge was organised by the Association of Bartenders and Sommeliers Singapore (ABSS) and Magnum Spirits & Wine. Comia has since moved over to French restaurant Guy Savoy and is currently assistant sommelier there.
We speak to these three young and passionate sommeliers about their recent wins, and what sparked their interest in the world of vino.

Metro Boston, North Shore and Metro West: The showers of yesterday afternoon and last evening have been pushed offshore as a cold front slid through here overnight. This has allowed for periods of sunshine early this morning. The front will stall across extreme southern New England today remaining in place through the weekend. Meanwhile, low pressure emerges out of the Tennessee Valley through today and is expected to be positioned in the Chesapeake Bay area by Sunday morning. From there the system moves very slowly across the open waters south of New England and should be centered just south of Nantucket Island by Monday morning.
The combination of the stalled front and low pressure means a mostly wet weekend, especially from later this afternoon through Sunday night. There may be a period during Sunday afternoon where the heavier rain shuts down for awhile with lighter showers and drizzle persisting through the afternoon. Upwards of two inches of rain, locally higher amounts, are likely through Sunday night. As a result of the heavy rainfall that is expected along with snow melt through the far interior, there is concern for minor river and stream flooding along with poor drainage and urban flooding. The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for portions of the interior. In our forecast area that includes Middlesex and western Essex Counties. The watch remains in effect into Monday morning for this long duration rain event. It is not out of he question that some areas exceed three inches of rain into Monday.
Coastal flooding is also a concern, although at this time it appears any flooding will be minor. The astronomical high tides are running on the high side and with a constant northeast fetch coming off the Atlantic over the next two days we do run the risk for some coastal flooding and beach erosion. Locally, areas from Cape Ann northward to Salisbury Beach are most likely to be impacted through multiple high tide cycles into Monday. This includes Plum Island which is always a concern with nor'easters.
Temperatures will cool down beginning tonight with a cold rainy and raw day expected Sunday. As the low slowly pulls away later Sunday night and Monday it will draw cooler air down on its backside and it is possible that the rain changes to a wintry mix across the interior Monday before winding down through the day. Precipitation on Monday should be more of a showery nature, whether it be rain or snow.
The low will finally push far enough eastward into the Atlantic by Tuesday to allow for some clearing and drying Tuesday and Wednesday.
Three Day Outlook:
Saturday: Bright skies early will give way to cloudy skies by afternoon with rain likely late in the day. Mild, high temperatures in the low to mid 50s, cooling down mid to late afternoon. Light winds becoming northeast less than 10 mph.
Saturday night: Rain, with pockets of heavy rain possible at times. Areas of fog developing. Cooler, lows in the upper 30s to 40 degrees. Northeast winds 8 to 18 mph.
Sunday: Rain likely, possibly tapering to showers and drizzle in the afternoon. Areas of fog. Breezy and chilly. Near steady temperatures in the low 40s, around 45 in Boston. Northeast winds 10 to 20 mph with higher gusts possible.
Sunday night: More rain is likely, chilly, raw and breezy. Lows in the 30s. Winds turn north and become gusty up to 25 to 30 mph.
Monday and Monday night: Rain tapering to afternoon showers, possibly ending with a mix of snow across the far interior. Remaining mostly cloudy overnight with a spot rain and or snow shower possible. Cold and breezy. Highs in the upper 30s to low 40s. Lows in the mid 30s.

BREED Labrador retriever
HOMETOWN Western Sussex County
BREED Labrador retriever
HOMETOWN Western Sussex County
FAVORITE TOY Tennis ball
There's a new employee at the Delaware State Fire Marshal's Office and she is more than ready and willing to work.
Tanya, a Labrador retriever, and her handler, Deputy State Fire Marshal John Galaska, recently completed a five-week training at a canine accelerant detection school sponsored by State Farm Insurance and have already starting working at fire scenes throughout the state.
Commonly referred to as an arson dog, Tanya is used to help deputy fire marshals detect the presence of ignitable liquids and find samples for investigations. While the Sussex County canine cannot prove arson, she is a valuable tool in fire scene investigations.
Q: What's a typical day like for you and Tanya?
A: There's several training drills that we do throughout the day, and that includes basic drills with her alerting on the hydrocarbon scent and other drills, where I set up different scenarios and we basically treat it like it's a regular scene. We train at the burn building here at the fire school. On the weekends, we have to train as well, because that's how she eats. She is a food-reward canine. She only eats when she alerts on a hydrocarbon scent. As a team, we really don't get a day off. And in between that, we can get called to fire scenes throughout the state.
Q: What's the most challenging part of the job for Tanya?
A: Tanya knows what she is doing. The human aspect is the challenging part of the job. She takes her job seriously. My biggest challenge is making sure I handle her in such a way that it doesn't hamper her abilities. When we get the dogs, they're partially trained, and we have to become a team and bond.
Q: What's been the most impressive thing that you've seen Tanya accomplish?
A: She's already worked several fire scenes. The most important thing as a team and a handler, when you take her to a fire scene, it's unknown. The dog is completely unbiased. And when the dog goes in and alerts to something, that makes it all worth it when it works and when you see it happen. To see her do her job is the most rewarding.
Q: What's unique about Tanya?
A: She's the prettiest black lab that there is. Each dog is different. Having handled other dogs, it's just how smoothly she works. She's very methodical in her own way when I put her to work. Different dogs work different ways, but she's very smooth and very serious about her job.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt 'Lincoln'
Joseph Gordon-Levitt shares what it was like playing Robert Lincoln in Steven Spielberg's new drama and starring alongside Daniel Day-Lewis. On working with Daniel he added, "It is fantastic, getting to work with someone that is giving so much to it. Is so committed and so focused it makes it easy for me to draw that off of him and the moment I'm in his presence I get swept up in to character and you don't have to fake anything."

Virtual Directory Litmus Test
By Mark Wilcox - CTO - Oracle Consulting Security-Oracle on Oct 05, 2008
Matt Flynn posted a paraphrased quote from Divya Sundaram of Motorola:
If you front-end data (or a data store) that you don't own (or don't have control of), then you need to replicate/sync data (instead of virtualizing the view).
And then asked if this is a litmus test for Meta vs Virtual.
My answer is that it depends.
This is because Sundaram's statement is a false assumption though it's a common belief.
It's a common belief because people want to be "in-control" of data and feel that unless they control everything, they are not truly in control.
This of course is patently false - we have mechanisms (such as contracts) to deal with boundary control issues without needing to actually directly control everything
And this is reflected in the fact that many (if not most) virtual directory deployments - the team that runs the virtual directory does NOT own the data sources they are connecting to. They systems they connect to are often run by different teams usually with different management chains. But virtualization works because those systems are already designed to be used by external client applications with proper level of Service Level Agreements & availability.
And virtualization is a way to make the most out of these existing capabilities.
Where "meta-directory" makes the most sense is really two cases:
1 - You want to reduce the number of storage systems in particular different LDAP servers. Thus you could collapse many ADAM, Sun, Novell, openLDAP, etc into a single enterprise-class storage system such as Oracle Internet Directory.
2 - You need a standardized, provisioning system to meet business process & compliance requirements. This is the environment which Oracle Identity Manager fills.

All you had to do was double click on the circle above the coin's year & mint mark and a picture of that coin would appear. I have searched for hours trying to locate that program again but have had no success. Has anyone ever come across this program before? If so would you be so kind as to provide a link so that I may purchase and/or download it again? Thanks.

Houston native Jon Schwartz graduated from Lamar High School, and he studied filmmaking at Northwestern University and the University of Texas at Austin. He produced traffic safety films for the State of California from 1978 to 1984.
"This is Our Home, It Is Not For Sale" is the 60-year history of an archetypal American neighborhood, Riverside in Houston, which experienced the classic syndrome of integration, real estate blockbusting, white flight, and re-gentrification common to virtually every American city. The film was released in 1987 and screened at a dozen international film festivals including Telluride, San Francisco and Chicago. It was broadcast on numerous public television stations including Houston's Channel 8 and WNET in New York. The film has been widely praised for its insights into the history of Houston's Riverside neighborhood, as detailed through more than 100 interviews, as well as for its contributions to the field of 20th century urban studies. It was released on DVD in 2007, inspiring renewed interest.

Students can choose from courses in many departments, including:
A degree in Gender Studies has allowed our alumni to work in many careers, such as an attorney, marketing assistant, lobbyist, and even a licensed marriage and family therapist; the opportunities are endless.
