buddy rich's hand technique
i saw buddy playing a solo on the buddy rich memorial collection video that has dave,viinie,steve,dennis,louie and greg bissonette on.when i first saw the tape when buddy was soloing i thought buddy was using double's to play that fast on the snare.a few years later i was watching the video and i realized they were singles and it totally blew my mind how fast he was playing.he was accenting with his right hand and moving the sticks across the snare drum for a different sounds.then he really blew my mind and i would like to know if you guys can tell me how to get that technique.he kicked it into like super overdrive the sticks were moving using only his fingers in both hands tradational grip, he had a very pronouced fulcrum between the thumb and the first finger and the sticks and they went up and down with his palms facing down.smith and weckl espeacially now reccomened a loose grip between the the middle finger thumb and first finger but they always say to turn your hands up in the french type grip to use your fingers but buddy never did that.he did it in two short bursts were the stick speed was really amazing.has anyone else seen this clip?
No clue, but I am intrigued by this, how do you say...technique.
I'd really like to know how it's done as well.
all drummers for once in their lifetime will view such videos or clips and be in pure awe how amazing buddy was not just those fast single strokes but how musical and swingin he made his band sounds.
in terms of how he pull it off on those fast singles well, in my own observations its a combination of wrist, fingers and some forearm control. buddy was known for his amazing left hand technique now trying to decipher that is quite tasking or it might stir another war between match and traditional grippers...LOL. so i'll just try post a short video of his left hand zoomed in during one of his speedy single rolls. i'll post it soon. unless someone knows suchs buddy rich vid on the net.
Did he sell his soul to be the best drummer of all time?
it was pure fingers the technique,you have to watch the video to see it and underdstand it.it was the right hand where you could see it the best.just imagine a seesaw.the stick was lick seesawing if that was only a word between the fulcrum.i have never seen anyone else do it and i've watched all the greats.the wrists were stiff and you could see buddy was using pure fingers.
yeah he was playing since childhood and doesn't even read charts or whatsoever. it was pure talent and overwhelming dedication.
A part of me want to say that a lot of the things people say about buddy are bull****..such as he never practied or had any fromal trainning. I know a part of his chops did come from him being a tap dancer when he was younger...but thats just his feet. You can't just magically have awsome chops from not practicing....unless he did sell his soul to lucifer for his abilities :D .
He practiced to get good, then he never practiced once he was good...and for his hands he played on a pillow to work on his chops, alot. The thing abot him never practice was only true AFTER he got to his ability level. It'd be like Virg not practicing now, and saying he never practices...he got to his level and quit..the same thing.
He practiced.
I have quite a few videos of Buddy. He's basically
German grip - palms down and with a lot of skin
contact. He was masterful.
One of the drummers that have tred to emulate
that type of approach is Carl Palmer and also has
lightning singles.
To get here, you have to do alots of accenting
and on both sides. You can do it.

Skip to comments.Rush Limbaugh calls college student a 'slut' (after college student admits to being a 'slut')
Posted on 03/01/2012 8:48:05 AM PST by tobyhill
Rush Limbaugh today called a women's health advocate and Georgetown Law student a "slut." The Huffington Post transcribed Limbaugh's comments on Sandra Fluke, who'd spoken to a Democratic panel on the benefits of birth control: "[Fluke] testifies she's having so much sex she can't afford her own birth control pills,
(Excerpt) Read more at now.msn.com ...
A slut gives it away for free, a whore wants to be paid.
She doesn't want to be paid to have sex. She wants for her CATHOLIC school to pay via her insurer (other policy holders) for her privilege to have sex without getting pregnant.
Maybe she should read a book or take a cooking class instead. Boo hoo!
Rush reminds me consistently why I love him so much...She needs to put an aspirin between her knees, right?
"Joy and pleasure, not so much", says Yodah.
I have to disagree with the girl. Birth control is free.....just stay out of bed.
She should get a lecture from the Safer Sex folks. If her partners used a condom like they should she wouldn't need birth control pills.
Personally, I would think her looks should be enough of a birth control.
True, she is currently a freebee slut but she is campaigning to have all of us pay for her sex life needs which will make her a prostitute. If she charged her "boyfriends" for her contraception she would be a prostitute (sex for payment) and the same applies if she gets taxpayer money for contraception.
My wife and I paid our own way for contraception while I was going to school and considered that to be our responsibility (and our business), not anyone else's.
As long as taxpayers don't have to now pay for the aspirin. This girl just wants to have sex at taxpayer's expense and no one in the Lame Stream Media will report that part of it.
I liked how he kept suggesting to college age men that they should really consider transferring to Georgetown, since all the women there "go".
Can she afford the co-pays for all the STD treatments she needs?
no no, a whore gives it way but a prostitute is a business woman, you pay her for the service......slut is a name to describe dress and attitude....
she's an effing' whore! See, conservatives don't dwell on BS adjectives.
We don't call abortion "contraception" or whatever pc crap..
"...for her privilege to have sex without getting pregnant."
I like the aspirin or Alka Seltzer between the knees. Its cheap, effective and reusable.
Love ya, Rush!
"[Fluke] testifies she's having so much sex she can't afford her own birth control pills,
- - - - -
Um...slut vs. whore debate aside, this woman is stupid. Birth control pills cost the same regardless of number of times a person has sex, and must be taken at least one full month before it takes effect. So, even if she wasn't a slut, it would cost the same.
Also, Planned Parenthood only charges about $5 a month for pills (according to a friend) so the slut probably pays more for a night out than pills would cost for a YEAR.
More evidence that the new math is a fail.
......It takes a bed?
Tuition at GULC is comparable to its peer schools amongst the Top 14; for the 2009-2010 school year, tuition was $43,750 for full-time students and $38,280 for part-time students. Living expenses hover around $20,000 per year, so total costs come out to be around $63,750 per year for full time students and $58,280 per year for part time students.
And she can't afford $100 a month for contraception?
What am I missing here?
From dictionary.com the definition is "an immoral or dissolute woman; prostitute." So, I think Rush was properly describing her.
I wonder if she's the same female who called Michael Savage to discuss birth control?
What's the old Fred Sanford line???
Beauty is only skin deep but ugly goes all the way to the bone!
Exactly! Even "free" birth control pills won't protect from that.
How did someone that dumb get into law school?
The pills BOUGHT AND TAKEN each month are the same whether you have sex every 10 minutes of the month or NONE AT ALL!
If she's sleeping with men, then I'm the Queen of England!
This woman looks like an angry lesbian.
Somebody would have to pay ME to take a whack at that hag.
She's screwing a lot of people in order to practice for her law career.
What? No make-up, hair style by Flowbee, man hands and an overall Feminazi look doesn't get your juices flowing?
Fred Sanford also famously said to the nagging Esther:
"They oughta press your face into some dough, and make gorilla cookies!"
Anyway, who's going to want to date Government Contraception Girl now? He sure won't take her to a crowded restaurant, not nohow.
What a great line from ol' Red Fox.
Michelle, of course, does bear a remarkable resemblance to Aunt Esther.
"comments on Sandra Fluke"
maybe this should be Flake instead of Fluke! LOL!
"comments on Sandra Fluke"
maybe this should be Flake instead of Fluke! LOL! Nancy Pelosi can sure pick them!
True to form, someone from the left comes out and plays the poor wittle victim card
instead of addressing the issue - in this case of whether others should be forced to pay for birth control.
We're talking real money.
Soros/Buffett/Bing-type money.
I'll give one for the team, all right. But it's gonna cost.
I bet her parents are so proud of her.
...without getting pregnant?
That's easy, and it doesn't take a pill either.
She's part of the 49% who want something for nothing from the other 51% who pay taxes.
OMG do you think she thinks she has to take one after every tryst? That'll kill you.
"She needs to put an aspirin between her knees, right?"
I cannot believe that the female interviewer that was shocked by Friess' remark did not know that it was a form of abstinence. Shock, shock, shock that someone might still be promoting such a thing in 2012!
That would be Rush's silly characterization, which has nothing to do with her testimony here.
I will call BS on her claim that 40% of female students at Georgetown report struggling financially as a result of the policy. Fluke btw is on a "public interest scholarship" and is president for her school's Center for Reproductive Justice. So we know what kind of young lawyers Catholic Georgetown, or perhaps I should say Jesuit Georgetown, is launching out into the world.
Rush is not helping the cause here, he's just throwing out red meat.
This is the same Rush that was preaching we need to send all those prescription drug users to prison
Tell a lie long enough and it becomes fact.
Was thinking the same thing.
Someone needs to tell her it takes a heterosexual to get pregnant.
Said slut needs to correspond with Jenny Craig or similar.
I liked it when Fred said "Esther, what are you doing here so early? Wolfwoman doesn't come out until there's a full moon!"
Except Aunt Esther had more class than Michelle.

Gridlocked over a months-long spending bill, the widely unpopular 113th Congress is trying to see if it is capable of passing a stopgap measure for just one week.
Washington often kicks the can down the road on tough issues; but this time, down the road means not a year or even a few months, as it usually does, but just a handful of working days.
But even this measure — a mini-victory for the Democrats because it would fund ObamaCare for a week — is controversial because some Tea Party members vow they will not vote for any measure that allows federal funds to be spent on President Obama's healthcare reform law.
Some lawmakers say a shutdown looks increasingly likely, because anticipated negotiations between Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry ReidHarry ReidFree speech is a right, not a political weapon Overnight Tech: FCC eyes cybersecurity role | More trouble for spectrum auction | Google seeks 'conservative outreach' director Cures bill clears first Senate hurdle MORE (D-Nev.) and Speaker John BoehnerJohn BoehnerRyan delays committee assignments until 2017 Lobbying World 'Ready for Michelle' PACs urge 2020 run MORE (R-Ohio) have not yet happened.
On Wednesday, there was a striking lack of urgency on both sides of the Capitol. The Senate labored through a procedural motion while many House lawmakers were traveling back into town.
House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (Md.) warned on Wednesday that the likelihood of a government shutdown is the highest it's been in years, and blamed the lack of bipartisan dialogue.
"This is the highest risk that I've seen because I see the least willingness to do what is absolutely essential in democracy, and that is to work together," Hoyer told reporters.
Sen. Charles SchumerCharles SchumerDems press Trump to support 'Buy America' provision in water bill Overnight Finance: Trump takes victory lap at Carrier plant | House passes 'too big to fail' revamp | Trump econ team takes shape Anti-Defamation League: Ellison's past remarks about Israel 'disqualifying' MORE (N.Y.), the third-ranking member of the Senate Democratic leadership, said Wednesday morning that there were not any talks among Obama, Reid and BoehnerJohn BoehnerRyan delays committee assignments until 2017 Lobbying World 'Ready for Michelle' PACs urge 2020 run MORE.
"I'm not aware of any," he said.
Schumer earlier in the week had predicted that leadership negotiations would heat up. "There are obviously going to be negotiations going on while this is happening," he said in an MSNBC interview.
Senate Republicans emerging from a meeting Wednesday said they expect Boehner to pass a short-term stopgap, possibly lasting only a week, to avoid a shutdown on Tuesday.
"I think the House could still have time to send something different back, particularly if they sent along with it, a very short-term, like one-week clean [continuing resolution] so there would be no disruption as the longer-term bill was discussed," Sen. David VitterDavid VitterPoll: Republican holds 14-point lead in Louisiana Senate runoff Louisiana dishes last serving of political gumbo Trump tweets about flag burning, setting off a battle MORE (R-La.) told Fox News on Wednesday.
"Timing is getting tight," said a senior GOP aide.
However, Michael Steel, the Speaker's spokesman, declined to endorse that option.
"We'll deal with whatever the Senate passes when they pass it. There's no point in speculating before that," he said.
"We are not going to vote on a clean CR," said Rep. James Lankford (Okla.), chairman of the Republican Policy Committee. He added that the GOP could also buy time with a funding bill as short as a week "if we're making progress" toward a longer deal.
"If we can come to some sort of agreement and do a short-term piece while we are working on language, fine. But if not, we're stuck," Lankford said.
House Republicans are not likely to come up with a new shutdown strategy until the Senate acts, but they are beginning to put together ideas while taking the temperature of members and finding out what could replace the original demand of defunding ObamaCare, he added.
"I have no idea where [the conference] is on that right now," Lankford said.
"Look, we're in a wait mode. The Speaker was very clear that we're in a wait-and-see mode," Rep. Steve Southerland (R-Fla.) said after emerging from a meeting with leaders. "Obviously we talked about some possibilities, but the Speaker was very close to the chest, and I think that's wise."
House GOP lawmakers will meet to discuss their strategy on Thursday morning.
Delaying a showdown over government funding linked to provisions that would defund ObamaCare would not sit well with conservative activists.
"No, it wouldn't. We're talking about a CR of a CR? We need to get serious around here," said Brent Bozell, a prominent conservative activist who has helped build public pressure on Congress to use the stopgap as a vehicle to defund the healthcare law.
"Are we down to one-week budgets? This is where the rubber hits the road," he said.
A spokesman for Reid said he would wait to see what the House can pass before taking a position on a weeklong stopgap.
"There is a new rumor about what the House is going to pass almost every day," said Adam Jentleson.
The Senate took a step closer to passing the stopgap Wednesday when the chamber voted unanimously to advance the House-passed resolution. The vote happened soon after Sen. Ted CruzTed CruzSenate GOP: National museum should include Clarence Thomas Senate GOP to Obama: Stop issuing new rules Week ahead: AT&T-Time Warner merger under scrutiny MORE (R-Texas) spent more than 21 hours on the Senate floor speaking against the president's healthcare overhaul.
Reid blamed Cruz for taking Congress to the brink of a shutdown by using up valuable floor time.
"The government is set to shut down in a matter of hours," he said. "It's a shame we're standing here having wasted perhaps two days, most of yesterday and a good part of today, when we could pass what we need to pass very quickly and send it back to the House."
Reid plans to schedule a vote on an amendment stripping the ObamaCare language from the House-passed stopgap and setting an expiration date of Nov. 15. If 60 senators vote to end debate on the legislation, Reid could rewrite it with a simple majority vote.
Cruz and Sens. Marco RubioMarco RubioSenate GOP to Obama: Stop issuing new rules Juan Williams: McConnell won big by blocking Obama The ignored question: What does the future Republican Party look like? MORE (R-Fla.) and Mike LeeMike LeeSenate GOP: National museum should include Clarence Thomas Senate GOP to Obama: Stop issuing new rules Will Trump back women's museum? MORE (R-Utah) have spearheaded an effort to extend debate, which would block Reid from changing it.
Their arguments have failed to persuade prominent Republicans, however.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnellMitch McConnellMcConnell: Spending bill will include miners pension fix Could bipartisanship rise with Trump government? Senate names part of Cures bill after Beau Biden MORE (Ky.) and Minority Whip John CornynJohn CornynSenate GOP: National museum should include Clarence Thomas Trump gets chance to remake the courts Lawmakers eye early exit from Washington MORE (R-Texas) have said they will vote to end debate on the measure because it will still include language to defund ObamaCare at the moment of consideration.
Cruz has argued this is a procedural gimmick and that Republicans should oppose any motion that empowers Reid to later revamp the legislation.
The bill faces another hurdle if Republicans raise a budgetary point-of-order objection to the bill because it exceeds allocations in the Budget Control Act.
"It's likely a budget point of order will be placed against it," said Sen. Jeff SessionsJeff SessionsSharpton pressures Dems on Trump nominees Trump allies warn: No compromise on immigration Could bipartisanship rise with Trump government? MORE (Ala.), the senior Republican on the Budget Committee.
Senate Republicans typically vote to sustain objections to bills that exceed the spending caps set by the 2011 law.
Reid needs 60 votes to waive such objections. While he could have more trouble corralling Republican votes to break the spending cap, he is likely to succeed, according to a senior GOP aide.
At the current pace, senators say the Senate will pass the amended stopgap and send it back to the House on Friday or Saturday.
That would leave Boehner with little time to amend it and send it back to the upper chamber to force a compromise. Democrats say if Boehner does not bring the Senate bill to a vote in the House, the government will shut down.
"It's possible," said Sen. Tom HarkinTom HarkinGrassley challenger no stranger to defying odds Clinton ally stands between Sanders and chairmanship dream Do candidates care about our health or just how much it costs? MORE (D-Iowa) about the likelihood of a shutdown. "It's really up to Mr. Boehner. If he takes what we pass Sunday and brings it to the floor and gives it his blessing, he'll get Democrats and moderate Republicans to support it and that will be the end of it."

Way Ty Go!
— By Sierra Frost |
Last night, SF band/dude Ty Segall played at that show/art/warehouse space on 17th and Capp. That place is really cool. I found what I think was a conch shell ashtray, the DJ upstairs played at least one Alice Cooper song, and there was a guy wearing a tiny hat with a huge feather in it who seemed to be affiliated with the venue. Wait, the guy was affiliated with the venue. Not the feather. But really, who knows?
Having never seen Ty Segall perform, I decided to get some insight from stoked fans about what I could expect from the show…
"They're like, uh, what San Francisco has been waiting for. We need some punk rock in our life. They're the real deal!" - Courtney
"I'm just here for the rock and roll." - Cooper
Around midnight, the crowd started to move downstairs into the basement where I was hoping the rock and roll would happen. And that's definitely where it happened, for sure.
To be honest, the Ty Segall recordings I'm familiar with are great and all but I wasn't and continue to not be over the moon about them. Anyway after last night's performance, it became very clear to me that Ty Segall is a dish best served live. Gross, I know. Forgive me. But seriously. I really liked the show.
Energetic and cute are two words that no band wants to be called, but Ty Segall himself doesn't look so much unlike a cherub, so what are we gonna do? Their set was loud and fast and pretty straight forward, the highlight of which, was easily the band's energy when they got really loud. Also, I could be wrong about this, but I think they tried to start playing a few songs that the bassist had literally never heard before in his whole entire life, which I am kind of into for reasons that are unclear. Only one thing is certain, which is that as an encore, the band played an impromptu rendition of The End by The Doors. Thaaaanks, Ty Segaaaall.
Finally, here is a picutre of the guitar player doing something to his pedal. Photojournalism. Right from the source.

In fact I do disagree - I think the songs lends itself quite well to being covered (which of course does not mean that any moron can have a go). For me, the most beautiful cover version I have ever heard was the one done by the Spanish singers Javier Gurruchaga and Ana Belén - the male voice and the female voice together gave it a very special feel, one of the "brotherhood and sisterhood of man" John himself invoked when performing it live on some occasion.

As sure as day follows night and night follows day, every year three teams must get relegated from the Premier League.
But don't ever think that just because you support a team, they're safe. One day it could happen to you.
When Blackburn Rovers won the league in 1995, do you think they thought four years later they'd be getting relegated?
When Newcastle United were one of the best teams in the country in the 90s, could their fans predict they'd drop to the Championship in 2009?
So sit up, take heed and make notes, as this guide of what to do and what not to do may come in handy when your beloved side is circling the drain into English football's second tier.

Grand Prairie, Texas is preparing for an influx of immigrants.
City leaders knocked on doors in the neighborhood around this Grand Prairie Education Center Sunday.
They wanted to talk to residents about the plan to bring hundreds of undocumented South and Central American children to the center later this month.
Residents like Nathan Smith say their concern is not about the children but about possible protesters.
Thousands of undocumented immigrants, mostly children, have been streaming across the US Mexico border in recent months.
It has created a humanitarian crisis in border communities across the region.

Reposts. ******* reposts. You all have such a problem with reposts. I don't see why? Why not see something funny twice? NO **** something is gonna get posted twice because, holy ****, OTHER people might not have seen it before and it's the goddamn internet. And where there such precious oc you guys crave so much, you all think its **** and annoying. So you hate reposts, you hate the "oh so rare" original content and you hate almost all op's. So if you have funnyjunk so much why still continue to browse it? Just to bitch? I'm literally dumbfounded with the stupidity the users are on this site. Funny is funny. If you dont like it, leave the site. If yuo find a repost, dont thumb up, thumbdown and leave instead of saying "ERMERGERD THIS IS A REPOSTS OP IS A DICK SUCKING ************* SCROTUM TUGGER"

AAMCO Transmissions – Top-Rated Auto Repair Franchise
From transmissions to Total Car Care, an iconic brand that keeps growing
AAMCO has spent the past half century as the worldwide leader in transmission repairs. Since our founding in 1962, we have serviced more than 45 million vehicles, and we have more than 700 auto repair franchise locations in North America. Our legacy brand continues to thrive. Entrepreneur magazine has consistently ranked us as a top choice in its annual Franchise 500 rankings of franchise opportunities. We are also an iconic brand that customers know. We recently hired a marketing firm to measure how well the public knows our brand, and 92% of people surveyed recognized us as the leading brand for transmission repair. This is no accident; we've spent five decades building customer trust through our "Double-A-BEEP-BEEP-M-C-O" marketing campaigns.
In the early 2000s, we diversified our business model. We realized that customers also trusted us to provide other repair services for their vehicles, so we launched our Total Car Care program. This successful program greatly expanded the revenue potential of a single AAMCO franchise and has allowed our franchise owners to earn a bigger slice of the general automotive repair market, which generates $62 billion a year in sales according to IBISWorld research. In 2014, 60% of our customers visited us for Total Car Care.
Auto repair franchise opportunities: AAMCO is a growing franchise
"Now is a great time to invest in an AAMCO franchise as we are making significant investments in supporting our franchisees in both the short term and for the future. Our long-term plan allows us to leverage and build upon our 50-year heritage," says Brett Ponton, President and CEO of AAMCO. "We have a core brand positioning of expertise within the the transmission business, and customers know that if you are highly skilled in repairing transmissions, you can fix and maintain anything that a vehicle needs. Our core category of transmission repair continues to grow, and we've seen huge, double-digit increases in our Total Car Care category."
Being the predominant leader in the $5 billion transmission repair industry has its advantages. AAMCO franchise owners have the unique opportunity to grab the majority of transmission repair work in their markets, providing trustworthy repair of the most expensive — and often more profitable — component on a car. Many repair shops won't work on transmissions and instead refer customers to us.
At the same time, there's a big opportunity to capture more of the general auto repair franchise market. According to Automotive Digest, no brand owns more than a 10% share of the overall automobile repair market. We plan to use that fragmented market to our benefit by leveraging our expertise in transmission repair to expand our Total Car Care platform. By 2018, we will be considered an industry specialist not just in transmissions, but just about any general vehicle repair. To do this, we have rolled out our "Trust" campaign in national and local markets to build customer awareness of everything we offer.
"At AAMCO, we believe we are very well positioned to win the automotive aftermarket," Brett says. "Our brand is very well known for transmission expertise that typically has a large transaction, or ticket value associated with it. Our goal going forward is to maintain our leadership position for transmissions, while focusing on building lifetime relationships with our customers, through providing expert level of service for all automotive services as well. Providing an expert level of service on all automotive services allows us to build relationships with our customers for life. As a result, we will build long-term business value for our franchisees."
A single transmission rebuild typically costs about $2,500, but most vehicles will only have that work done once. Tune-ups, oil changes, A/C repairs and other services are less expensive, but a lot more common, which is why the average customer ticket for service with AAMCO is $826. Overall, the average consumer spends $790 a year per vehicle on repairs, according to Consumer Reports. With the average vehicle on the road more than 11 years and the average driver having six cars over their lifetime, that adds up to more than $54,000 in lifetime spending on vehicle repair. If you factor in the fact that most households have two vehicles, and they generally take them to the same place for maintenance, the lifetime value of a customer balloons to about $105,000.
"The lifetime value of a consumer or a household for that matter becomes extremely important when you're talking about Total Car Care," Brett says. "A customer might come to us to fix their transmissions every eight to ten years, and while transmissions are a significant cost and a big-ticket item, there are numerous other services vehicles need on a much more frequent basis. The good news for the brand is that when you show your customers that you're capable of doing exceptional work on the most complicated part of their car, you can win their trust and have them bring their vehicle back for all of their vehicle's needs."
According to the Center for Economic Vitality at Western Washington University, transmission repair only makes up 6% of the total repair aftermarket. Within that 6% of the market, we are dominant. We now have the opportunity to leverage that dominance to win over customers for long term care, expanding our share of the other 94% of the auto repair industry.
Auto repair franchises: Costs and fees
The total investment necessary to purchase an AAMCO franchise ranges from $227,400 to $333,000. This figure includes the $39,500 franchise fee, as well as the costs for equipment, training, leasing a property, and other items. In order to qualify to open an AAMCO, we are seeking candidates who have a minimum of $65,000 in liquid capital and a net worth of at least $250,000. The decision to open an AAMCO franchise is life-changing and expensive, which is why we offer a number of financing options that make it possible for us to partner with the most passionate owners in the industry.

Article Date: 12/1/2008
A significant amount of news and discussion has recently been devoted to the relationship between medical practitioners and the pharmaceutical and device industry ("the industry"). The medical community at large has faced challenging issues that have arisen over the past several years. Topics being discussed have included the appropriateness of gifts or meals to practitioners, consulting arrangements, research grants and grants sponsoring continuing education. Organizations such as the American Medical Association, the American College of Physicians and others in addition to the drug industry itself (Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America — PhRMA, for example) have issued guidelines for such activities. The Federal government, through the Department of Health and Human Services, has become very active in this discussion with increasingly more oversight, guidance and potential legislation, with likely monitoring and open reporting of company-practitioner exchanges to come.
The industry certainly relies on the medical community to disseminate important clinical information about drugs and devices. Legitimate concern has arisen about the potential implications any new regulations may have on industry's support of bona fide continuing education — which is required of most of us. In this regard, most have adopted the standard that industry-supported educational activities must maintain independence of commercial interests.
Contact Lens Spectrum is a clinical publication that provides a forum for up-to-date cornea and contact lens information. We make every effort to maintain credibility as a premier publishing source of this information. In doing so, we strive to ensure that all material we publish — whether a clinical commentary or a clinical research topic — meets a certain standard. Everything we publish is reviewed by our editorial team and often by peers in the field to ensure that we meet accurate, reliable and non-biased publishing standards. We ask all authors to disclose any relationships with industry, and we then disclose those relationships to our readership. It's critical that I emphasize that the industry is and will always be vital to our publication. We will to continue to work together with industry in light of any new regulations to preserve our strong relationship. This will ultimately allow us to continue to provide you with the clinical information you need to practice to your very high clinical standards.
Contact Lens Spectrum, Issue: December 2008
Contact Lens Spectrum is the most respected source of clinical contact lens information for optometrists, opticians and ophthalmologists. Each month, it offers timely editorial on fitting, overcoming complications, utilizing new technologies, gaining patient compliance and more — written by contact lens practitioners for contact lens practitioners.

satisfies your criteria but not the form g(y) +a. I'm not sure one can exist.
Is it possible to find a function g(y) (either continuous or discontinuous) such that the one-parameter family of differential equations
satisfies both the following statements?
for all a<= -1, the differential equation has exactly one equilibrium point which is a sink.
for all a>= 1, the differential equation has exactly three equalibria , two sources and one sink.
If so give a rough sketch, if not, why not?
I've sketched a ton of graphs now and can't get one to satisfy, also I have no idea how to explain then if it don't exist, why that is.
Thanks in advance.
Other than guessing is there a way for me to determine possible functions?
Oh I didn't even notice that. My answer was for both equalities -1. Basically I've only ever seen a single eq. splitting to 3 by having a factor of y through the whole thing as then you get y=0 for all a. If you solve the eqn g(y)=-a you need a function that has one solution for a<-1 and 3 for a>1. this isn't possible if you want g to be continuously differentiable (or even continuous only I think).

It could have been a bit more cleaner, but not so important. We had a little fridge and a microwave. We could also use the washing machine and her detergent. She and her daughterl live there too. It bothered us that the television was really loud at night, but after asking them to turn it down, it was no problem. =)

Athletic Bilbaum 1 SPEC FC 0
Jake Gilbert went down in Athletic Bilbaum folklore after scoring the goal that settled the contest for the runners-up spot as the Baums crushed SPEC FC's hopes of automatic promotion.
The sun was shining, the crowd was buzzing in anticipation and Baum Baum had packed his trunk and was ready for war. The game didn't disappoint.
It wasn't a high scoring affair, but an enthralling battle between two closely matched teams. Finely balanced throughout, it took a Gilbert penalty, after Ben Bell was cut down in his stride on another of his trademark winding runs, to secure the victory, and the coveted second promotion place, for the Baums.
SPEC certainly meant business but after their banana mascot was spotted defacing the Bernebaum flag, the Baumgod was angered and sought vengeance upon the offenders
The performance thereafter was resolute and controlled, putting into practice the full range of techniques learnt during the pre-season tour in the mountains of Lethoso. In short; everyone was superb, just as they have been all season long. COYB!
SPEC FC's Ricky Lawrence told JC Sport: "Bilbaum deserved the result on the day and they deserve to get promoted too.
"We did ok but they were the better side. Good luck to them and I hope we're able to meet them in the league next season."

DiFi and the "freedom's to messy and dangerous" Brigade go after guns again
Of course, much like the climate alarmists, other than leveraging off a horrible incident like the Navy Yard shootings they really don't have the stats (or the Constitutional backing) to call for banning guns. But that doesn't stop them from doing so anyway:
"This is one more event to add to the litany of massacres that occur when a deranged person or grievance killer is able to obtain multiple weapons — including a military-style assault rifle — and kill many people in a short amount of time. When will enough be enough?" Feinstein asked in a statement.
She added: "Congress must stop shirking its responsibility and resume a thoughtful debate on gun violence in this country. We must do more to stop this endless loss of life."
When will enough be enough? Ask a couple of Colorado state senators.
Enough will never be enough as long as the gun grabbers try to continue to pin it on the implement instead of the murderer. Here again we have a not quite right person acting out with guns. Sound familiar? Yet somehow the system not only gave him a security clearance (after he'd been arrested previously for using a gun in Seattle), but apparently okayed it for him to be sold a weapon.
How is that the fault of the weapon? Where did the weapon "fail" in this? Where did the weapon "cause" this to happen? How did the weapon find its way into this man's hands? Because the state failed in numerous ways to do what it is and was supposed to do. Grant a security clearance to a clearly disturbed person, lax security at a secure facility, etc. Gee, maybe it isn't guns. Maybe it is incompetent government that can't enforce existing laws?
But DiFi, the WaPo and other gun grabbers don't really care about facts.
Life does go on, through Columbine in 1999, through Virginia Tech in 2007, through Sandy Hook in 2012. Each atrocity provides a jolt to the nation and then recedes with little effect, until the next unimaginable event occurs, except each time a little more imaginable. Everything was supposed to change after a man with a semiautomatic weapon mowed down 20 elementary school children in their classrooms last December. But for the politicians, nothing changed. Now, another massacre, another roster of funerals. Again, again, again.
Anyone notice the one similarity in all these events? Everyone of them took place in a "gun free" zone. And what else do you notice about each? And in each one, the state did a bang up job of protecting everyone in them, didn't it?
DiFi comes from a long line of those who find freedom messy and dangerous and would prefer the orderly and safe haven of state authority instead (with her in charge, of course – and exempted from her own rules). And she wouldn't at all mind imposing her utopia on you – by force if necessary.
25 Responses to DiFi and the "freedom's to messy and dangerous" Brigade go after guns again
Guns don't kill people. Gun-Free Zones kill people.
While New York Daily News went AR-15 crazy, and splashed "SAME GUN DIFFERENT SLAY" on its front page, NBC put up a CGI video of a red (state) killer targeting blue (state) victims with an AR-15, Piers Morgan and the other usual suspects beat the "AR-15 is evil" drum all day long.
It turns out no rifle was used by Alexis. He only used the shotgun, which he had purchased, and then used pistols from on scene. Never mind that an AR-15 is not an "assault rifle" (which is a select-fire weapon), there simply was not a rifle of any sort used by Alexis.
Oh, and don't forget how they repeated the rumor that the shooter was a white male, until it turns out the white male was a victim of ID theft. After the facts came in, race became a non-issue.
Unfortunately for the gun control freaks the following list only had one match:
1. Used "assault weapon", i.e., scary-looking modern rifle
2. Male
4. White
4. Republican, "tea party" voter, advocate, or activist
5. NRA member
6. Fan of talk radio and/or Fox News
7. Christian
8. Anti-government
9, From a "red state", particularly the South
Elliot- You mean if Obama had a son. he'd look like Alexis? And the media wants to downplay that? NO WAY DUDE!
Better, the CGI video included a grenade launcher, suggesting that the weapon in question was An Actual Military NFA-Covered Weapon.
(I'm sure the real reason was they're lazy and had an M-16/M-203 combo weapon handy, but still… details matter.)
Only details which serve their narrative matter to them.
M203 would be a destructive device. That's a bit beyond full auto that is typical NFA . . .
But don't forget, these are the "legitimate" journalists that are worthy of governmental protection!
The FBI says that no "rifle" of any kind was used by this deranged killer and Obama voter.
DiFi just lies. It is what Collectivists do.
But GOOD. I have a one word response: Colorado.
I like my two-word response to them better….
Especially liked CNN's "AR-15 shotgun" graphic. Their ignorance knows no bounds. But at least they showed a picture of the perp without calling him a 'white black man'. (see Zimmerman, George the 'white Hispanic'.)
He was described as being from Texas, when he was originally from Brooklyn. But "New York" just doesn't have the same cachet with the anti-gun crowd.
Obama's other son.
Using his military style assault rifle….which he didn't use. And a background checked Shotgun which he purchased legally. We need to improve background checks!
If only uh….something or other! We have to do something!
Buddhist, don't forget, Buddhist.
Texan, sorta, from WHITE SETTLEMENT! OMG! (got nothing to do with white folks….)
Let em come at it again, nothing has changed, and they're just as big a collection of asshats as they were last time. If they think this will change the mood, they're wrong. All their proving is gun-free zones are the human equivalent of game preserves and the public sees that.
they're, not their….gall durnit.
DC Sniper: Democrat, Islamic
VA Tech Shooter: Registered Democrat
Aurora Theater Shooter: Registered Democrat
Gerald Loughner: Not registered, but significant leftist leanings
Newtown shooter: Democrat
And on and on…
Not Gun Control, DEMOCRAT control.
Not when the story first breaks…..
They're just sure it's a psychiatric case former military Republican tea party white guy from some backwards Republican voting state carrying an 'assault rifle' (to them….machine gun) that he bought without a background check at a gun show.
Interesting how virtually every incident, the actual FACTS are completely opposed to the initial story reporting…hell, the follow-up stories IGNORE the facts (hence my use of the term MUSHROOM MEDIA).
FACTS…we don' need no stinkin' facts!!
They deliberately frame the argument that it was done by a white male conservative with a machine gun, regardless. It's done to get the picture out to the low info people who are only going to see this story NOW, as it occurs, and aren't going to go back for another look later to see how reality sorted out. The media needs to maintain the confirmation bias they use every election to demonize conservatives. They must constantly reassure both groups of their place. That liberal minorities on the east and west coasts ARE in fact the majority view and conservatives are a loosing, diminishing fringe group.
They play exactly to Scott Erb, and he slurps it up like a Koolaid Suicide Martyr.
Approved methodology used to lie about Unemployment and debt and f*all else that Obama manages with endless two month back 're-adjustments' to the lies they spewed when people might have been paying attention.
On the other hand, if you want the police to be the only ones armed, just make sure you aren't in California or New York city when the cops decide to unload on someone. They tend to hit that which they are not aiming at, and aim at that which is not a valid target. Try not to be two Hispanic women driving a truck when they're looking for a large black male driving a truck, or bystanders in Times Square.
(we're sorry! they were rookies, please don't talk to the press, thank God that guy shot up the Navy yard!)
State-Run Media's Guide to Firearms
Let's make DC a 24/7/365 "gun free zone" … this includes the police … make 'em bobbies
And now….
dammit! no AR-15 involved!
no white tea party conservative!
Background checked African-American Obama voter with a Joe Biden recommended blunderbuss…errrrrrrrrrrr…….
Time to move on in the news cycle!
heh, I'm going to have to see how often I can provide Nolte with the bullet points for his story today :)…..

Good news for the sexually frustrated, the sexually anxious, or the just plain inquisitive. Now there's a 24-hour hotline staffed by 500 specially trained sex educators and therapists from around the country to answer your questions about sex. No call is too elementary--or too embarrassing--for these experts.
Since last September, they've been clearing up callers' misconceptions about penis size, female orgasm, AIDS, and other concerns. "We want to provide a positive education about sexuality so people can become comfortable with it in their lives," says sex therapist William Young, M.S. director of the Masters and Johnson Institute in St. Louis, which set up the service. So far, they've helped everyone from worried fiances to love-struck seniors--and even parents who needed a hand explaining the birds and bees to their teenagers.
F.Y.I.: A call to 1-900-933-6868 costs $3.99 a minute; callers must be 18 years or older.

By Anne Petelo, master gardener, Denver County office of Colorado State University Cooperative Extension
Sowing perennial seeds indoors for outdoor spring planting is fun and rewarding. You need only minimal materials, and seeds are certainly less expensive than purchased transplants. Another advantage to growing your own is the wide variety of seed available for any preference, soil, climate and location.
Use polystyrene or plastic cups with small holes punched in the bottom for drainage. Seed starting trays also are available at any garden center.
After filling the containers with a lightweight potting mix, refer to the back of the seed packet for the planting depth. buried seeds germinate poorly so stick to the one-eighth to one-half inch depth recommended for most seeds. Water thoroughly.
Seed starting trays come with a plastic lid to retain moisture in the soil. Placing a plastic bag over the top of cups accomplishes the same thing.
Place the seed starting containers in a location where temperatures will remain at 65-70 degrees. Flats placed in cookie sheets on top of a gas stove kept warm by a pilot light will maintain the desirable warm soil temperature for seed germination.
After seedlings grow their initial seed leaves and then first true leaves, they're ready for thinning. Eliminate weaklings and transplant seedlings; this will free space in flats or additional containers. With enough space so developing leaves do not touch the leaves of neighboring plants, strong roots develop for future transplanting to the garden.
A week before planting outdoors, harden off by setting plants, outside in a protected spot for a few hours, then return them indoors. Gradually lengthen the time of outdoor exposure. This will toughen leaves and stems so plants can survive their permanent move outdoors.
Six perennial plants and one biennial plant that are easy to start from seed include:
For herb lovers, clary sage (biennial) and broadleaf sage are good bets. Biennials overwinter and go to seed the second season.
Clary sage has fragrant silvery leaves and rosy flower spikes that attract hummingbirds. The plant performs will in dry, sandy soil but be aware of its self-sowing habit. Place it where you don't mind additional plants popping up.
Broadleaf sage germinates in 14-21 days. It grows to 2 feet in the garden. Harvest leaves for cooking after plants are well-established.
For nonstop summer to fall color, try gaillardia or blanketflower. If spent blooms are removed or deadheaded, it blooms all summer. It performs best in full sun and will tolerate dry soils and neglect once established. Seeds germinate in 15-20 days and light aids germination.
Tritoma torch lily, also known as red hot poker,is another heat-and-drought tolerant perennial. Be sure to allow ample space for the 4-foot blooms. Seeds germinate in 10-20 days.
Pyrethrum painted daisies bear pink, white or lavender blooms on graceful stems ideal for cutting from April through June. Seeds require 20 to 25 days for germination. For a shorter daisy, try Silver Princess shasta daisy. A tamer version of the species, the white blooms with yellow centers cover the petite plants in early summer. Seeds require light for germination in 14 days.
For a different look in the garden, try an ornamental grass. Twelve-to-18 inch blue fescue adds blue leaves to the summer garden and tan seed heads for interest in fall and winter.
These perennial seeds are easy to start and the plants all perform well in along Colorado"s Front Range. A lovely garden can indeed be achieved inexpensively with only a little patience in raising your own plants from seed.

Isle of Wight charity swim
Posted on: Tuesday 11th September 2007

All summer long (if that isn't an oxymoron...) Jo Haley (aka Blue Shark) has been ploughing round the lake at Liquid Leisure without a wetsuit. Why?, we asked. Surely not another Channel swimmer getting in some practice? But no, Jo had far stranger plans afoot than that...
In the summer of 2006, Gary Robb and Steve Parker met Alice Gilks and Jo Haley on a swimming holiday, after which Gary had the somewhat strange idea of swimming around the Isle of Wight as a six-person relay team – without wetsuits. The other three agreed immediately and soon co-opted Bob Lee and Adam Jeffery, with Millie Wright as substitute. A year of planning and training began, and two charities were selected; the RNLI and the Earl Mountbatten Hospice.
After two attempts had been called off before they even started due to the windy summer weather, the team were finally able to start from Ryde Pier at 10:30pm on Thursday 30th August 2007. Setting off in the dark with glow sticks attached to his swimwear the first swimmer, Gary Robb, and the rest of the team were waved off by supporters and Wightlink ferry night staff.
Swimming anti-clockwise around the island they soon passed Cowes and Yarmouth, after which came the first challenge; the Needles. It was still dark, and only the accompanying RIB could navigate through with the swimmer while the large support vessel used the deeper outside channel. This was, said captain Gary, "the scariest part of the whole swim, as it was quite dark and I felt like I was swimming backwards onto the rocks".
Here too the sea-sickness began and this was not helped by the choppy seas off St. Catherine's Point at around 8am. Only Gary, Bob and the boat crews were immune.
Ventnor, Shanklin and Sandown were the next key positions, after which came Bembridge, where supporters actually sighted the orange-hatted swimmer from land for the first time. Then finally, after only 16 hours, 27 minutes and 37 seconds, the two boats and the final swimmer arrived at Ryde Pier just before 3pm on Friday 31st August. They were greeted by supporters, staff from Wightlink, and members of the general public.
The exhausted team returned to Southampton that night, agreeing it had been a fabulous experience but they wouldn't mind if they never set foot on an undulating boat again! "The best bit was that every time we rounded a headland, we lost sight of where we had just been and it felt like that section was over," they said. "We're just so pleased we have finally done it."
The team would like to thank everyone who made this event possible, particularly their corporate sponsors; Cowan Consultancy, Fareham Leisure Centre, Gallagher Mobility Aids, SeaFlex, Shirley Swimming Pool, SLP, The Duke of Wellington Public House, Vikoma, VT Shipbuilding, and Zoggs, as well as Red Funnel, Wightlink, the Isle of Wight Council and all the harbour and inshore authorities.
A special thank you goes to the boat crews from the RNLI and the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, "The RNLI boat guided us the whole way, and the NOCS boat was our bodyguard, shielding us from the other traffic on the water," said Adam.
For more information and to sponsor the team, visit www.roundtheislandswim.co.uk. The main photo at the top shows the successful team back at National Oceanography Centre, with main support vessel Bill Conway.

1/2" or 5/8" Soft Copper Tubing for HERMS coil?

Ok, I have just "discovered" that 1/2" does not always equal 1/2"... at least in plumbing. I want to assemble the copper coil for my mini-heat exchanger this weekend, and found that 1/2" soft copper tubing actually uses 3/8" fittings. I plan to use 90o bends at each end of the coil, with short hard copper tubing extensions as needed for my new brewstand.
I have 1/2" fittings throughout my system... all valves, hoses, pump, etc. So, for my heat exchanger coil, should I use the 5/8" (and 1/2" fittings) or 1/2" (and 3/8" fittings) soft copper tubing in my HERMS system? I am guessing that it really does not matter, but wanted to get input from those that have been there. I am leaning towards the 5/8" tubing, that way my 1/2" silicon tubing will better fit on the 1/2" hard copper pipe extension (I'm not using barbs or QDs on the heat exchanger in/out, just hose clamps around the silicon tubing that is connected the heat exchanger).

Vince, your guess is correct; it really doesn't matter, at least for the HERMS coil. The 1/2 in. (O.D. in the case of soft copper tubing) diameter will work just fine, and it's not necessary to use 5/8 in., which is harder to bend. I would not recommend using 3/8 in. tubing, however, as it will restrict the flow more than you (or the pump) would like.
Soft copper tubing sizing uses the nominal O.D. rather then the nominal I.D. for hard copper pipe. And the truth is that the fittings used for 1/2 in. tubing are not the same as those for 3/8 in. pipe; they are an intermediate size designed specifically for soft tubing. There are also a variety of adapters to connect soft tubing to hard pipe and vice versa; your local home center or plumbing supplier should have them. It's just one more little detail to be aware of.

My HLT uses quite a significant length of 3/8" tubing, and my pump handles it fine. The thinner tube gives better heat transfer IMO.
I'm also a fan of making it messy in there - it doesn't look as pretty but it certainly increases thermal turbulence which is beneficial.

And to think I spent a whole afternoon making mine look halfway decent. I like it! I guess an electric element is out of the question in yours though.

No, there's an element at the bottom
That's an old pic, there's also a float valve now, which makes filling easy and helps to automate the cooling process - I just control the overflow rate of heated water and the float valve takes care of the input.
I'll post a more recent pic later if anyone's interested.

Heat transfer is better with smaller tubing. But with 27' of 5/8" tubing, there is no difference between the temperature of the HLT and the heat exchanger outlet at a normal recirculation rate in my setup, as long as the hot liquor is continuously stirred. Mine's not nearly so awesome looking as the one above, though. I am impressed (no kidding)!

I've put some more pics of my system in the photo gallery ('Wortgames brewery and gadgets').
27' sounds familiar J, is that a 'standard' coil length? If so there's a good chance it is the same length as mine, I'm pretty sure I just used a full coil.

I just recently upgraded from a 3/8" OD herms coil to a 1/2" OD coil. While it seems to get better transfer one must remember that such a large diameter tubing means your pumps flow rate will be very sensative. If you throttle up to much you may risk a stuck sparge. Thats why I have a choke tube, which is a piece of 1/2" OD with a 3/8" OD tube running through it. It's about a foot in length. This makes my pumps flow rate much less sensative and more precise. Just something to think about.

Peter, are you saying that you get better heat transfer with the larger diameter tube?! I don't understand that, unless you are talking about pumping more fluid through it and referring to overall heat transfer between tuns.
If you were circulating at the same rate (ie volume per time), then the smaller tube would give you a much greater surface area proportionally and therefore better heat transfer.
IMHO, it is probably better to let your tubing be the main flow regulator in the system (resistance = surface contact) unless you have a specific need to adjust it for other reasons.
I have no need to adjust my flow rate at all, the overall resistance of the system keeps things to a nice pace, so I'm either circulating or I'm not.
Just my 2c.

Hmm, that's odd.
All I know is that if I turn my pump up with 1/2" tubing all around, I will turn my nice grain bed into a tightly compressed cement block. I recently upgraded from my 3/8" herms coil. Even with that smaller diameter i could still stopper up the mash. What pump are you using? I'm getting better mash stablility with the new system upgrades and the pump's control is less sensative. Paul Muth is an amazing HB engineer. Keep in mind that I had a few problems yesterday. First off my temp controller shorted two fuses in my house. One of the wires had came loose from its post and caused a short. This house is old and still uses screw in fuses. I had to kill the main power supply just to change out two fuses. BS! I had to mash manually because even after rewiring the thing, it wouldn't output any voltage. I think I may have toasted the SSR. Next brew session will show more accurate data points.

I don't disagree that it's possible to compact the grain bed with a 1/2 inch diameter HERMS coil and the pump wide open. But to my mind the simplest (and recommended) method is to place a valve as close as possible to the outlet side of the pump. This accomplishes the same function as the "choker" Peter mentions and allows the pump resistance to be determined by the valve rather than the diameter of the coil. That doesn't mean you couldn't accomplish this by other means, such as the diameter of the hoses or the coil, but to me regulating the flow with a valve is simpler and more predictable.

I built a lauter grant for my system, and I found it unnecessary if I exercised reasonable care regulating the flow via the valve at the pump outlet.

I'm with bill on that. I own a hopback/grant and I don't need it for mash recirculation as long as I'm careful with throttling the pump. I studied the difference between flow with and without the choke. Using the choke means less sensative flow rates with the valves.

My pump is a March 809 HS-815. I guess I just got lucky when I built my HLT, I figured I would start with the longest length of copper (I had made the decision already to go with 3/8") and I would shorten it if necessary. I had intended to add a 'choker' valve on the output. The first time I ran it it became apparent that the speed was just fine so I left it alone.
I have never had a stuck mash with this setup, but I confess I don't use sticky ingredients that much. Even so, I can't see the flow rate being fast enough to cause one. I would imagine that it would also depend on the surface area of your screen, my mash tun has a full-size false bottom.
The next time I brew I'll measure the flow rate, I'd be interested to have it as a data point. As a really rough guess I'd say it is about 1.5 litres (1.6 quarts) per minute.

Thanks for the inputs all, very helpful. I decided to go with the 5/8" tubing, so that my in/out connections will be 1/2" (which is what I have throughout my system). My HD sells tubing in 10', 20', and 50' lengths... so I picked up a 20' coil, and wrapped it around a corny this afternoon - no kinks, turned out great!
Now I just have to sweat a few joints, and install the heating element in my 3 gal. SS pot and my mini-heat exchanger is done!

|Three random questions for a Monday morning by Billina
1. When someone else is talking, do you ever unintentionally mimic their facial expressions? I do this all the time, and I'm wondering if anyone else does.
♦ I think that's actually fairly normal communication - it only feels awkward if we actually notice that we're doing it!
2. Do you think the definition of the word "gay" is changing, or do you think it still means ONE thing, and that it shouldn't be used by people to describe something weak or lame? I work with someone who uses it that way, and we got into a mini-debate over it. WDYT? What are your thoughts on words changing meaning in general?
♦ I think that usage of "gay" (weak/lame) will only survive as long as people continue to stereotype gay men as effeminate (and despise femininity as weak). Eventually, "gay" meaning "homosexual" will cease to have negative connotations, at which point the "weak" usage will disappear. It's both a gay equality and women's equality issue, but it will get there.
3. What time is it where you live?
♦ 7:00pm exactly.

Materials Handling--The Final Frontier
Ferguson cites other advantages of automation, explaining that up to 472 moves (or orders) can be programmed into an AGV, allowing it to make up to 2,000 moves per day. Per hour, Ferguson says AGVs are capable of achieving material movement flow rates such as these: seven palletized signatures from presses to bindery; nine palletized signatures into racks; and 14 palletized signatures from racks to binding lines.
Statistics like these are spurring industry organizations to include materials handling on their conference agendas.
For example, the Research and Engineering Council of the Graphic Arts Industry dedicated several sessions to materials handling automation at its recent 40th Binding, Finishing and Distribution Seminar.
"For many years, the printing industry viewed the bindery as a stepchild. But it's a very important facet of the business," explains Charles Dine, Banta's manager of corporate industrial engineering, who served as the council's session chairperson.
"A product has to be bound," he continues. "It's important that the product be folded, jogged and bundled correctly in order to run it on high-speed finishing equipment. If it doesn't feed well into a 20,000 per hour machine, that machine may only run at 14,000 per hour."
Which is an inefficient way of doing business, by any printer's standards. But any printer's standards might not be as high as the industry giants with multimillion-dollar budgets.
The Right Price
However, as materials handling forges to the forefront of industry issues, the demand for automated equipment is bringing prices down. From pile turners and palletizers to conveyors and computerized management information systems, automated machinery and software are being designed with the more modest bindery budget in mind.
Whether it's one piece of equipment or an entire system, many printers are finding that state-of-the-art materials handling is paying for itself in time, space and manpower savings, not to mention ROI.

Creamed Spinach Gratin
Total Time
Prep 25 mins
Cook 35 mins
I love creamed spinach, and this is a way to dress it up a bit. From Real Simple Magazine November 2005.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (plus more for the dish)
- 1 garlic clove, halved
- 5 shallots, thinly sliced crosswise
- 5 (10 ounce) boxes frozen spinach, thawed
- 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup grated gruyere or 1 cup grated swiss cheese
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Rub the sides and bottom of a buttered 8-inch baking dish with the garlic; discard garlic.
- In a skillet, over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the shallots and cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Squeeze the spinach to remove any excess liquid. In a large bowl, combine spinach, cream cheese, heavy cream, milk, Gruyere or Swiss cheese, salt, pepper, nutmeg and shallots. Transfer to dish.
- Bake, uncovered, until bubbling and lightly golden, about 25 minutes.
Most Helpful
Mmmmm, yummy spinach. Very easy. Just mix it up, throw it in the oven, and prepare the rest of the meal.
This was a wonderful way to prepare spinach. The cream cheese added a nice creamy touch, but the sautéed shallots add such a nice earthy tone to it. We loved it! Thanks for sharing your recipe, JackieOhNo. Made for Culinary Quest 2015 (Swiss).
This is a delicious spinach casserole. I reduced the recipe by 1/2 and there was plenty for dinner and some leftovers. I did not have gruyere (which is my preference) -- used the grated swiss cheese with no other changes. This dish comes out of the oven rich, bubbly and delicious. Made for Everyday is a Holiday, October, 2013.

#4923 enhancement closed fixed (fixed)
updates Download page
|Reported by:

Currently the Downloads page states that because OS X has a systemwide installation of an old Twisted and there's no safe way to upgrade users are stuck with the Twisted Apple provides.
However, if one would use virtualenv/virtualenvwrapper it's perfectly possible to use a newer version of Twisted:
mkvirtualenv --python=pyton2.6 --no-site-packages --distribute virtualenvname workon virtualenvname pip install twisted
The only problem with this is that a py2app bundled application that requires a newer version of Twisted would need to be launched from within the virtualenv otherwise they'd be stuck on Twisted 8.2.0.
If people are using a newer python version, from MacPython or something like that, their path is changed and they can install Twisted from pypi without breaking anything.
