Coating Technologies for Oil and Gas
SilcoTek® coating technologies maximize the performance of your products.
Process and Product Yield
Sample Reliability

Corrosion Resistance
Part Per Billion Inertness:
- H2S and Sulfur Sampling
- Ammonia
- Mercury
SilcoNert® 2000: The ultimate passivation of treated surfaces, from glass to high nickel alloys.
Dursan®: A tough, corrosion resistant, inert coating. Ideal for harsh oil and gas environments.
- A required treatment for metal components when analyzing for parts-per-billion levels of organo-sulfur compounds & mercury. Greatly reduce moisture contamination and improve system performance with SilcoNert 2000 and Dursan.
SilcoNert 2000 surface treatment eliminates surface adsorption of active compounds on steel, glass, ceramic and carbon surfaces. Sulfur Compound Storage in SilcoNert 2000 Treated vs. Untreated Sample Cylinders Figure 1 depicts performance results from a comparison in which a gas containing 17ppbv of hydrogen sulfide was stored for 7 days in untreated and in SilcoNert 2000 treated stainless steel high pressure sample cylinders. The results show a SilcoNert 2000 treated sampling system will reliably store low levels of this active sulfur-containing compound in process streams for long periods of time. In contrast, hydrogen sulfide degraded rapidly in the untreated cylinder, and was totally adsorbed within 24 hours.
Figure 2 summarizes the results of a similar study in which gas containing 18.8 ppbv methyl mercaptan was stored for 60 hours in SilcoNert 2000 treated sample cylinders. Again, recovery of the active sulfur gas was accurate at the low ppbv concentration, confirming that the sample was stored in contact with an inert surface.
Adsorption of Sulfur Compounds to Tubing Surfaces under sample transfer conditions Comparison of the transport properties of SilcoNert 2000 treated electropolished stainless steel tubing, and raw commercial grade stainless steel tubing show only SilcoNert 2000 treated electropolished stainless steel has the inertness necessary to transfer sulfur compounds at low ppmv to low ppbv concentrations in sample streams. Figure 3 demonstrates uptake of the sulfur compound by the three surfaces. The performance of the SilcoNert 2000 treated, electropolished surface is quite dramatic in comparison to that of untreated electropolished tubing. SilcoNert 2000 treated electropolished tubing did not adsorb methyl mercaptan to any measurable extent, delivering a representative sample with no delay. The untreated electropolished tubing, in contrast, totally adsorbed methyl mercaptan for more than 75 minutes, and the sulfur gas level did not stabilize until approximately 130 minutes. Conventional 316L seamless tubing totally adsorbed methyl mercaptan for more than 90 minutes, and the sulfur gas level did not stabilize until approximately 140 minutes.
The "memory" of adsorbed active compounds can cause long delays in equilibrating a sample stream. Figure 4 demonstrates the memory effects of the three types of tubing used to transfer streams containing sulfur compounds. The SilcoNert 2000 treated tubing shows less retention of sulfur compounds by several orders of magnitude, indicating very high inertness.
Value of an Inert Pathway
SilcoNert 2000 treated sampling and transfer equipment results in more accurate sampling and faster cycle times. Improved accuracy and reliability of data for sulfur, achieved using SilcoNert 2000 treated transfer and sampling equipment, mean downstream processes can be more precisely controlled, resulting in significant cost savings. Shorter cycles translate directly into more samples collected and analyzed in a given period of time. Typical savings can be calculated by looking at the average per-hour cost of operating a process that relies on accurate quantification of sulfur compounds.(1) For example, a 1 hour delay can cost: 800,000 tpy ethylene plant: $50,000; 250,000 tpy LDPE unit: $36,000; 250,000 tpy EBSM styrene plant: $33,000; 200,000 tpy anti-freeze process: $3,600

RUSH: What do you mean? Of course he's gonna be a campaign issue. What is it gonna take for people to figure this out? I just got an e-mail, "Rush, do you think Sterling will be a campaign issue?" Damn right he's gonna be a campaign issue! Not only that, somebody in Hollywood right now is rushing into production The Donald Sterling Story, the miniseries for TV. They gotta get it done before the midterms.
It's all they've got.
The Democrat Party is who makes this all possible, folks. Look, let me be dead serious for a second. I know we're getting to the giddy, laugh-about-it stage with all this, but I'm telling you: The Democrat Party promotes this. The Democrat Party makes people comfortable with their racism. The Democrat Party makes people comfortable with their bigotry opinion. The Democrat Party opens the doors for all of this.
The Democrat Party's responsible for two separate speech codes. The Democrat Party is responsible for the fascism, totalitarianism of their voters. The Democrat Party promotes it, encourages it. It's all politics. It's been one of my big points for the longest time to try to convince people everything that happens is political -- and if it's in the media, it's the Democrat Party's agenda.
Everything's political. Of course Sterling is gonna be a campaign issue! You're saying, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He gave to Democrat causes. He gave to the NAALCP." That doesn't matter. By the time they're through he's gonna be the chairman of the Republican National Committee. By time they get through with him... (interruption) Why do they care? (interruption) Let me go through the list here.
Let's just take a look here at the pattern. Just this year, Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson goes out there and gives an interview in GQ. All hell breaks loose, and nobody watches anymore. Okay? Their numbers are down. The Walking Dead is walking all over Duck Dynasty. Well, they always did. But their numbers are not what they were. By design.
Do you think that show ever had a chance? They were just waiting for one of the people on that show to do what Phil Robertson did. They were just waiting for it. That show is what is most embarrassing about America, to these elitist libs in the Northeast and on the Left Coast. The fact that that show is the most watched thing in the country is the biggest scare they ever got.
They had to destroy it.
Okay. The Mozilla guy, Brendan Eich. What did he do? He gave $1,000 to a ballot initiative in California that won, and all it did was maintain that marriage is that between a man and a woman. The guy was destroyed, and it was said he engaged in hatred and bigotry by giving $1,000 to the idea that marriage exists between men and women. He had to be destroyed.
Cliven Bundy. (It didn't take long there.)
Hank Aaron? It was one of the most disappointing things. Hank Aaron says the only difference in the Republicans today and the KKK is that they used to wear white hoods and now they coats and ties, not white robes. Then Donald Sterling. I'm gonna predict to you that between now and September, there are gonna be a whole bunch more of these that will be trumped up, ginned up, made to order, 'cause this is all the Democrat Party's got.
Obamacare. I got a story today. You know what the percentage of people in the latest poll who think it's working for 'em is? Eight percent! Obamacare is an absolute, total disaster. The only way the Democrats get what they want is when Obama does an executive order outside the Constitution. That's the only way they get what they want. They have to bend the rules. They cannot get what they want any other way.
All of their policies, every Obama policy is now shown to be a complete and total failure. Minimum wage? Chuck Schumer, sound bite today. The minimum wage, he says, is the American dream. They want to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour, and it's gonna fail. The minimum wage is gonna fail in the Senate, and Chuck Schumer is calling the minimum wage the American dream. (interruption)
I know! It's like saying a shopping cart's the American dream. The US economy is so moribund and so nonexistent that the ChiCom economy is gonna soon replace us as the world's biggest and fastest-growing economy. The US economy in the fourth quarter grew after all of Obama's policies at one-tenth of 1%. The Republicans have supposedly been waging a War on Women.
The truth of the matter is that women have lost more salary in the past five years. Under Obama, women have gotten poorer. Married women, single women, single women with children, single women without children, Julia, single women, lesbians, you name it, every woman has gotten poorer under Obama. Yet it's the Republicans waging the War on Women!
Keystone pipeline. Everybody wants it but Obama will not sign it, making us less domestically energy independent than we could be. Amnesty? For illegal immigrants? Only the Republican Party can make it possible for the Democrats to get what they want.
Only the Republican Party. That's how precarious this is. Scandals, Benghazi? The latest that we're learning on that: Sharyl Attkisson is out with a smoking gun.
We now know everything we suspected is true, that everything that was done was rewritten and edited and redacted to protect Obama, who is incompetent and doesn't know what the hell he's doing -- and doesn't care half the time. Fast and Furious. NSA surveillance. IRS targeting. Fake science at the Environmental Protection Agency. Obamacare rollout a total disaster.
What do they got?
They've got nothing to hang their hats on!
Everything they've done is an abject failure. I don't believe Obama's at 41% approval. I think it's much lower than that, but nobody's got the guts to actually print the truth. California? Look at Illinois. Look at Detroit. Everywhere they are running the show is either falling apart or has fallen apart, and people are doing their best to get out. People are fleeing all those places, mostly due to high taxes.
The problem is the liberals that flee pollute wherever they end up with the same policies. Meanwhile, Republican governors and states are showing how well their policies work. Wisconsin, North Carolina, Texas, Ohio, South Carolina, Louisiana are proven successes. Scott Walker has rewritten the rule book and the recipe on how to revive an economy.
I'm telling you, the only thing the Democrats have is Donald Sterling and Brendan Eich and Cliven Bundy and Duck Dynasty and all of these things that they just wait and hope for. That's why they're so desperate to find the next thing. What's the guy, the candidate in Missouri? What was his name? (interruption) Who? (interruption)
No, the guy that said rape, you know, depends on whether or not... (interruption) Todd Akin! Todd Akin, right. They're just waiting for the next Todd Akin. They're hoping and praying for the next Todd Akin, because that's all they've got, folks. And that's why there's gonna be more of this. That's why Donald Sterling is gonna become a campaign issue.
That's why they're working on The Donald Sterling Story the miniseries. It will take a month to watch the whole thing. They gotta get it done before the midterms. They have no issues. They have no record of achievement. They got nothing. The Democrat Party has nothing. Five years of the Democrat Party getting everything it wants, and where are we? Losing to a communist country!
Everything is in such a state of decline that young people literally have no experience with a dominate, positive, winning, victorious, economically advancing America, all brought to us by the Democrat Party. And to a certain extent the Republican establishment, by not opposing any of this the past five years, has played their own little role in it by not trying to stop any of it, other than not voting for Obamacare.

So what did you have for St. Patrick's Day?
I Braised the corned beef brisket in the BBQ smoker with 5 bottles of gluten free beer (it is brisket after all). I made roasted carrots and turnips in a dutch oven over the fireplace. To take the place of cabbage, I ran Brussels sprouts through the food processor's coleslaw blade and sauteed the shredded sprouts with slices of golden delicious apple, butter, and some dry hard cider (Woodchuck "Crisp"). I wrapped red bliss potatoes in a foil pan and threw the whole thing into the bbq smoker for 5 hours at 250 degrees. I also made Chocolate stout cake with Brooklyn Black chocolate stout. I also made a BBQ pork shoulder since people in Ireland would have had pork instead of corned beef.
Cast Iron question.
I found that deep-frying using my cast iron pan gave it pretty much instant seasoning. Deep frying takes place around 350 degrees and has a lot of vegetable oil involved. Breaded eggplant cutlets, chicken wings, or some other excuse you can think of will probably help you season that pan quickly.

Beef ribs fall into that category of cook for very long time in braising liquid.

I am not giving up a lot food wise for lent, but I have decided to stop playing computer and video games for the 40 days. It's my entertainment, and I guess I will have to do something else that is more constructive for that 1-2 hours per day (like cooking).
Cast Iron question.
The above comments are pretty accurate. Don't worry about the rust too much, you can use a paper towel and some vegetable oil to wipe the pan and it will pretty much help with that. If you are really into seasoning your cast iron, you can deep fry something in it, you get really instant seasoning. Fry up some breaded eggplant slices in 1/2 inch of oil and that thing will be pretty well seasoned.
One place to eat in Boston
I guess the question depends. Are you into Chinese food? Jade Garden in Chinatown is pretty darn good. Windsor Dim Sum Cafe is good for Dim sum.
If you want North End italian cheap eats. Bring some cash to Umberto's on Hanover St. for some Sicilian style pizza and Arancini (deep fried risotto balls with a mozzarella cheese and beef center. Maria's pastry for a zeppole, lobster tail, or cannoli.
You also could go to Burdick's in Harvard Square for hot chocolate and hand pulled espresso.
Stress-Baking: Any good recipe suggestions?
Chocolate beer cake. It's pretty fast, vegan, can be made with coffee instead of beer, and when made as cupcakes with pieces of chocolate stuffed into them, forms the center of a lava-style cupcake.
Best cuts of pork for grinding?
I am in agreement with Lorenzo here. Boneless Butt is the cut you want. I would do a very coarse grind first, mix with your spices and salt, then grind down to the fineness you desire. It's easier on the machine to do a very coarse grind first.
How to Make Chili Oil?
Chemistry says that the capsaicin in the hot peppers should dissolve in oil based solvents or ethanol (alcohol) much the same way that people extract coffee in water. I would guess some of the same rules apply to making coffee in that, the finer the grind of stuff, the more of the active chemicals will leech out into the dissolving liquid. Higher concentration of solids (peppers and pepper flakes) will also make a stronger solution. Be sure to wear gloves in this case and wash everything with soap, water, and possibly vodka to dissolve all the rest of the tools that you use to prevent unwanted spice contamination.

Taste Test: Does Using Better Quality Alcohol Make Better Tasting Fruitcake?
In a cake without fruit, the booze quality makes a difference. I was working up recipes for our "Iron Chef" competition at Babson College, and I brought a bottle of PYRAT XO rum for making a spice cake with rum over the top. We really didn't have a heavy alcohol flavor despite putting a teaspoon over each cupcake sized cake. When using the inexpensive rum supplied by the dining services during the competition, it really had a cheap booze taste/smell/burn.
Are all wiskeys distilled?
Technically, whiskey is a distilled product. Someone has commented on freeze distilling, but that is still considered distilling the product. The difference between freeze distilling and steam distilling is that freeze distilling collects a very high percentage of all the coloring/flavoring components much like how the syrup from a convenience store slush drink settles out of the ice. Steam distilling mainly pulls off the highly volitile alcohols and like compounds leaving a lot of colored and wierd flavored stuff at the bottom of the distilling machine.

HONG KONG - Many see the selection of Hong Kong's leader as a farce - the incumbent will almost certainly be picked again today by a committee that usually goes with the choice of China's rulers.
But for the first time since the former British colony returned to Beijing's rule, the election has had a challenger and American-style debates. It also saw the incumbent - veteran civil servant Donald Tsang - promise a specific plan to bring full democracy to China's wealthiest city.
Tsang is expected to coast to re-election by an 800-seat election committee loaded with tycoons, leaders of special interest groups and other elites.
His rival is Alan Leong, a lawmaker and lawyer who believes stable, well-educated Hong Kong is ready for full democracy.
He says Tsang is among those dragging their feet on political reform. Leong insists that when the next leadership vote is held in 2012, Hong Kong should get rid of what's commonly known as the "small-circle election" system and let the public directly elect the winner.
The race also featured the first public debates between leadership candidates. The two men met twice in spirited, televised events.

One of my friends has a Nokia Lumina 900 Windows phone, and she wants to use a Bluetooth keyboard with it. I haven't been able to figure out how to get it to recognize the keyboard. How do you pair a Bluetooth keyboard to a Windows phone?
You must be logged in to ask, answer or follow a question.
I'm not sure that you can. There are Bluetooth keyboards for Windows 8 and RT devices. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/tablet-accessories/keyboards/tablet-keyboa...
I don't know why Windows 7.5 would not have the capability built in, but as far as I know it's not possible. I know that it didn't used to be; I found an article on Windows Phone 7 (which isn't 7.5 obviously).
How about a USB keyboard? You would need to find one with very low power consumption though.
Oh, and it Nokia Lumia, not Lumina. The Lumina was a crappy car made by Chevy in the 1990s. The Nokia Lumia is much better looking. ;-)
My understanding from this Windows Phone Central article is that Bluetooth functionality for Windows Phones up to version 7.5 was limited to hands-free headsets and speakers. Windows 8 is supposed to have expanded Bluetooth functionality, which unfortunately doesn't do your friend with the Lumia 900 any good.

From the Marmite FAQ: (http://www.gty.org/~phil/marmite.htm - I think this has been posted here in the distant past, but I'm too lazy to LIU and give credit where credit is due...)
A marmite is a French stock pot or cooking potlike the one pictured on the front of the jar and shaped somewhat like the jar itself. The name of the French pot is pronounced "mar-MEET." The product name may have been derived from a famous French soup, petite marmite.
Good thing I looked - I was about to guess mar = sea, since the stuff tastes like it has the salt of a thousand oceans in every jar.

Thanks Fiberbabe - I did wonder! what a great word derivation - and I like that the Marmite jar is shaped a bit like a marmite.
and I LIKE the taste! and the taste of Vegemite too (though I'm not sure I could tell the two apart, in a blind taste test - but I bet any Aussie worth his/her salt could!).
Let us go in peace to love and serve the board.

The challenge in ranking the most watchable games of Week 14 in the 2012 NFL regular season schedule is that there is only one game being played by two teams with a winning record. That contest will be played on Monday Night Football, so the national audience should be treated to a great game.
The Week 14 schedule finds four home underdog games, along with one even or pick 'em game. Three contests have at least a 10-point spread, which serves as your warning to expect a couple blowouts.
Consider these final four weeks of the season to serve as playoff games for some NFL teams. These final four games will be high-stress games for any team that is trying to keep their faint playoff hopes alive.
As for the nationally-televised games, we have Denver at Oakland on Thursday Night Football, Detroit at Green Bay on Sunday Night Football and Houston at New England on Monday Night Football.
We will start the presentation with the least watchable game of the week and work our way up to the No. 1 game for Week 14. All point spreads are courtesy of ESPN.com and were the current lines when this went to publication.

Homemade Pop Tarts
Total Time
Prep 1 hr
Cook 35 mins
This recipe came in my email from King Arthur Flour. I haven't tried it and I am posting by request. It looks delish!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cut into pats
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
Cinnamon Filling
- 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
- 1 -1 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, to taste
- 4 teaspoons flour
- 1 large egg, to brush on pastry before filling
- Make the dough:
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
- Work in the butter until the mixture holds together when you squeeze it, with pecan-sized lumps of butter still visible.
- Mix the egg and milk, and add it to the dough, mixing just until everything is mixed.
- Divide the dough in half; each half will weigh about 10 ounces.
- Shape each half into a rough 3" x 5" rectangle, smoothing the edges.
- Roll out immediately; or wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
- Make the filling:
- Whisk together the sugar, cinnamon, and flour.
- Assemble the tarts:
- If the dough has been chilled, remove it from the refrigerator and allow it to soften and become workable, about 15 to 30 minutes.
- Place one piece on a lightly floured work surface, and roll it into a rectangle about 1/8" thick, large enough that you can trim it to an even 9" x 12".
- (Laying a 9" x 13" pan atop the dough will give you an idea if you've rolled it large enough.).
- Trim off the edges; place the scraps on a baking sheet, and set them aside, along with the 9" x 12" rectangle of dough.
- Roll the second piece of dough just as you did the first.
- Press the edge of a ruler into the dough you've just rolled, to gently score it in thirds lengthwise and widthwise; you'll see nine 3" x 4" rectangles.
- Beat the egg, and brush it over the entire surface of the dough.
- Place a heaping tablespoon of filling into the center of each marked rectangle.
- Place the second sheet of dough atop the first, using your fingertips to press firmly around each pocket of jam, sealing the dough well on all sides.
- Press the tines of a fork all around the edge of the rectangle.
- Cut the dough evenly in between the filling mounds to make nine tarts.
- Press the cut edges with your fingers to seal, then press with a fork, to seal again.
- Gently place the tarts on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Prick the top of each tart multiple times with a fork; you want to make sure steam can escape, or the tarts will become billowy pillows rather than flat toaster pastries.
- Refrigerate the tarts (they don't need to be covered) for 30 minutes, while you preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Sprinkle the dough trimmings with cinnamon-sugar; these have nothing to do with your toaster pastries, but it's a shame to discard them, and they make a wonderful snack.
- While the tarts are chilling, bake these trimmings for 13 to 15 minutes, till they're golden brown.
- Remove the tarts form the fridge, and bake them for 25 to 35 minutes, until they're a light golden brown.
- Remove them from the oven, and allow them to cool on the pan.
- Variations: Instead of brown sugar and cinnamon, fill the tarts with a tablespoonful of chocolate chips.
- Or with jam filling: 3/4 cup (8 ounces) raspberry jam.
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water.
- To make the filling, mix the jam with the cornstarch/water in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, and simmer, stirring, for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, and set aside to cool. Use to fill the pastry tarts.

Best pop-tart recipe by far. I used nutella for the filling. The pastry is so light and fluffy. Taste best when warm-so eat them right out of the oven- or toast them in your toaster oven.
I've made this twice now and we really love them. Big hit with the kids and even bigger hit with the grown ups!
This pop tarts are delicious! I only added a topping made with: 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon milk 1/3 cup sugar candy sprinkles food coloring cinnamon, plus brown sugar, works well

Health-conscious people are mad about nuts these days. The enthusiasm comes from a steady drumbeat of studies over the past decade showing that they're genuine health food. Their most salient effect seems to be heart attack prevention. Some studies suggest they give you some protection against diabetes, too.
True, nuts are high in calories: Just an ounce of most varieties has more than the 140 or so calories contained in 12 ounces of many brands of soda. Ideally, you should incorporate them into regular meals as a protein source. About 80% of the calories come from fat. Much of the fat, though, is "good" monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat, not the "bad" saturated variety in meat and dairy products — or worse yet, dreaded trans fat. In research studies, cholesterol-lowering diets that contain nuts reduce "bad" LDL cholesterol by 9%–20%, regardless of the amount of fat or nuts.
Other healthful ingredients in nuts include copper, fiber, folate, and vitamin E. They have lots of arginine, an amino acid that the body uses to make nitric oxide. Nitric oxide relaxes blood vessels so blood flows easily. An ounce of most varieties of nuts has about 10%–20% of the recommended daily intake of magnesium. Studies have shown that many Americans don't get enough of the mineral, with average intake falling about 100 milligrams shy of daily recommendations (420 mg for men, 320 mg for women). Magnesium is important to maintaining the proper proportion of calcium to potassium. Also, low levels of magnesium in the diet may contribute to heart attacks and hypertension.
Which nut comes out on top? Almonds, peanuts, walnuts — each has its own association or board, primarily composed of growers and related companies. Of course health claims are a major selling point. So the associations sponsor studies of their particular nut's boon effects on cholesterol levels, blood vessels, and other cardiovascular factors. Competing studies are difficult to compare. But the United States Department of Agriculture has a database of the nutrient content of individual foods that sheds a little light on the subject. Almonds have slightly more vitamin E than walnuts, and much more magnesium. Walnuts, stand out as the only nut with an appreciable amount of alpha-linolenic acid, the only type of omega-3 fat you'll find in a plant-based food. Peanuts (which technically are legumes) lead in the folate category. Cashews have even more magnesium than almonds (83 milligrams per ounce vs. 73) but they lag behind in vitamin E. If it's selenium you're after — as many men are, because the mineral might protect against prostate cancer — then look to Brazil nuts: One ounce has almost 10 times the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of 55 micrograms. When it comes to taste, macadamia nuts are hard to beat. But they're also high in saturated fat (3.4 grams per ounce) compared with other nuts.
Nobody has done a comprehensive side-by-side comparison of the cholesterol-lowering effect of nuts. But citing individual studies, the authors of an almond study published in Circulation a couple of years ago said that, ounce for ounce, walnuts, peanuts, and pistachios are equally effective. Almonds are a close second, they said. Pecans and macadamia nuts, which are a bit higher in calories, lagged far behind.
So far, no nut is the clear hands-down winner. But there is always the noncompetitive approach: mixed nuts. Unsalted, of course.

If ever heart was involved with art - it's true with Rachael Hughes dedication to Art Studio Miami. CSP CONNI GORDON
Review from Guidestar
A wonderful organization that makes real impact in Miami's Little Haiti community. I highly recommend a visit!
I found out about Art Studio Miami about a year ago when I read an article in The Miami Herald. I went to the studio to determine if this could be a place where the Friends of Little River charitable organization could team to provide additional services to the children in the neighborhood. I found the amazing leadership and passion of Rachel and Soralee to be inspiring and I encouraged my organization to support their after school programming at the Jesse J McCrary Elementary School and work toward supporting other programs offered at ASM.
I have also taken my young children to programs offered at ASM. My 4, 7 and 8 year old loved the guided imagining session and the mask making lead by Ashley. They talked about it for weeks. It is truly amazing what the arts can inspire in all of us.

No going to the YMCA in Monticello, for now; Carbon Harvest project at closed landfill is still a go
May 9, 2012 —
Ira Besdanski, CEO of YMCA Middletown, which includes facilities in Monroe and Monticello, made an appearance at the Sullivan County Government Center on May 3 to help lawmakers get a clearer picture of the nature of the organization.
Controversy had arisen last year when Chancellor Livingston, the company that was going to develop a big box store project at the Apollo Plaza site, agreed to set aside an acre of the project and the existing movie theater as space for a nonprofit, specifically the Sullivan County YMCA.
The owner of the Monticello Fitness Center, Mike Dollard, and his supporters had criticized the deal because they said it would give the nonprofit facility an advantage over his profit paying business.
At the meeting, Besdansky said that the YMCA is much more than a "gym." He said, "We invented fitness, we invented basketball and volleyball, and we brought the Boy Scouts to this country." He said the organization invented Father's Day and was the first organization to teach English as a second language in this country.
He said that many companies, like Disney World in Florida, invite the organization to set up shop near them because it provides fitness activities and day care; Besdansky said the YMCA is by far the largest day care provider in the United States.
But with Chancellor Livingston pulling out of the deal to market the Apollo Plaza and landfill properties, the YMCA is no longer pursuing the site as a facility location. The organization received a $500,000 grant from Senator Bonacic to help pay for a Sullivan County facility, but the organization may now use that to help finance a 155-acre environmental site in Rock Hill that will feature nature trails and various kinds of environmental educational programs.
Asked if another location became available, whether the YMCA would still be interested in building a facility here, Besdansky answered that the location would have to be perfect because there is not enough population in the county to support a stand-alone YMCA facility. Linda Cellini, development director of organization, said she is still working toward getting a YMCA facility in Sullivan County.
Carbon Harvest
While the YMCA is no longer interested in the Apollo Plaza site, the company called Carbon Harvest is moving forward with plans to open a facility at the closed county landfill. Alan Scott, CEO of the Sullivan County Partnership of Economic Development, said he had scheduled a site visit for the next day.

Bird of Paradise - 10 Seeds
( 294 times booked in last 90 days )
( 20% guaranteed cashback )
Check detail here >>
Even when this plant isn t in bloom, it offers very attractive leaves that resemble those of a banana plant. The bird of paradise plant, Strelitzia reginae, is native to subtropical areas of South Africa. For years, it was considered a collector s plant because it was difficult to find a nice specimen. With modern growing practices, bird of paradise plants are available more often, but are still much prized. They begin to bloom when they are 4-5 years old and live on for years and years.
When selecting a bird of paradise plant, look for a full, healthy-looking plant with lots of new growth. Plants that are slightly crowded in their pots will bloom better.
Common name: Strelitzia, Crane Flower or Bird of Paradise
Color: The unique flower has vivid colours and a statuesque profile that is unmistakable.
Height: 4 to 5 feet tall with a 2- or 3-foot spread.
Difficulty level: Easy
Planting & Care
Sunlight: Provide bird of paradise with some afternoon shade to protect it from the hottest part of the day, especially in areas with sultry summers. A nearby shrub, tree, fence or wall can give the plants shade.
Soil: Grow bird of paradise in soil that drains well. Root rot can occur if the soil retains too much water. For a potted plant, use a high-quality potting mix. Outdoors, incorporate 2 or 3 inches of compost into the soil at planting time.
Water: The soil should be kept moist all spring and summer but should be allowed to dry out slightly between waterings in the fall and winter.
Temprature: Average indoor temperatures are fine. Try to avoid temperatures below 50ºF.
Fertilizer: Feed your bird of paradise every other week during spring and summer and once a month in fall and winter with a liquid such as Schultz s Instant Plant Food or a water-soluble fertilizer.
- When growing bird of paradise, you should follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system.
- Watering can be reduced after the plant has established itself; however, it will require moist conditions throughout its growing season.
- Although the soil must be kept moist throughout spring and summer, the plant should be allowed to dry out slightly between watering during fall and winter.
- However, during the dry winter months, regular misting of the plant may be needed to produce the humid conditions it enjoys.
- As the bird of paradise mature, their rhizomes can be divided.
- Bird of paradise can also be propagated from seed; however, blooming will not begin for at least five years.
- Monitor a bird of paradise for pests, such as aphids, scale and mites.
- If you see a lot of pests, treat before they do significant damage.
- Insecticidal soaps work well but make sure you apply it to the undersides of the leaves, as insects tend to gather there.
- Remove plant debris under a bird of paradise to help keep insects at bay.

'Doing What's Right' - Support Charles Hoffman for Town Justice
Vote for Charles Hoffman, candidate for Town Justice. I have known Chuck for over 25 years and he has always been a respected and loyal friend. I believe he has the attributes to be a fair and devoted Justice in the Town of Tusten.
Chuck has been a resident of Narrowsburg for over 25 years. He is very helpful to his family, friends and neighbors throughout the Town of Tusten and Sullivan County. Mr. Hoffman is a teacher at the Minisink School District and will be starting his 19th year teaching science. I believe his education and training as a public school teacher will be his greatest asset for the role as Town Justice. He is very familiar with working with people of various ages and backgrounds. He is skilled in conflict resolution and will act promptly and responsibly in critical situations.
I believe Chuck Hoffman is an excellent candidate for Tusten Town Justice. He has the education, training, professionalism and commitment to serve the town well. I encourage the community to "Do What's Right" and vote for Charles Hoffman in the primary election on September 10th, 2013.

A tough Estancia varsity baseball team scored 17 runs on the Rattlers in the first game of a doubleheader Monday, and then had a battle on their hands in the second game which went eight innings.
Rattler Coach Mike Russell said he would like to forget the first game, but was extremely pleased with the Rattlers' play in the second game.
"During that second game our players found out what we are capable of," said Russell. "It was the first time this season where we really came together as a team."
Estancia, 8-1 on the season, never had the lead in the second game until the bottom of the eighth inning. Tucumcari jumped to a 3-0 lead. They allowed the Bears to tie three times but played with confidence heading into the bottom of the eighth. With the game tied 6-6 and only one out to go, an Estancia batter hit a blooper over the head of Tucumcari's first baseman to score the winning run.
Coach Russell had nothing but praise for starting pitcher Matt Braziel.
"Matt Braziel pitched his best game of the season," said Russell. "Of the seven runs Estancia scored in the second game, only two were the result of bad pitches."
Braziel also batted well during both games of the doubleheader, finishing 6 of 7 for the day. John Sewell was perfect from the batter's box in the second game, getting four hits. Levi Montano hit an inside the park home run.
The Rattlers had 20 hits in the second game alone.
Coach Russell Said his team felt good about themselves despite the close loss.
"Our team knows that we outplayed Estancia in the second game," he said. "I think this represents a turning point for us."
Russell said the 17-6 loss in the first game was due to errant pitching and defensive mistakes.
"Our starting pitcher walked more batters than usual," said Russell. "We didn't help ourselves in the field."
The Bears of Estancia were a scoring machine early in the first game. They scored seven runs in the first inning, five in the second and three in the third inning. Excellent hitting by Matt Braziel and John Sewell was not enough to overcome Estancia's barrage of hits.

Baptist historian H. Leon McBeth diescomment (0)
May 3, 2013
H. Leon McBeth, a Baptist historian and scholar who authored nine books, died April 29 at age 81.
McBeth, retired chair of the history department at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, received numerous awards for his contributions to Baptist history, including a Festschrift, "Turning Points in Baptist History," in which colleagues paid tribute to his life's work.
His books included "The Baptist Heritage: Four Centuries of Baptist Witness," published in 1987. In 1990, the Baptist Sunday School Board of the Southern Baptist Convention — since renamed LifeWay Christian Resources — contracted with him to write an interpretive history for the publishing house's 100th anniversary.
McBeth wrote the book during a year-long sabbatical and was paid $18,000 for his work, but after seeing the final version the agency's board of trustees halted publication. Some trustees reportedly believed the book was biased against conservatives, and specifically too sympathetic to the agency's moderate president at the time, Lloyd Elder.
The Sunday School Board retained copyright and the book was never published. Media reports labeled it censorship. McBeth stood by the manuscript, calling it "a balanced interpretive history of the first 100 years of the Baptist Sunday School Board."
McBeth grew up in Plainview, Texas, and graduated from Wayland Baptist University, where he later served as trustee. He earned his master of divinity and doctor of theology degrees from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
McBeth was a member of the Baptist History & Heritage Society and the 1989 recipient of the society's W. O. Carver Distinguished Service Award.
"His life and work profoundly inspired and impacted many of us," Bruce Gourley, the society's executive director, said in an email to members.
Gourley called it fitting that the Spring 2013 Baptist History & Journal edition mailed to society members just this week is a tribute to McBeth. Gourley said the society will also pay tribute to him at the group's upcoming annual conference May 20–22 in Richmond, Va. (ABP)

In my opinion, Jordan Brand releases the Air Jordan 1 in some of the most ridiculous colorways, but when they do shine it's because they are being released in the OG colorways we've grown to love. The last time we saw this colorway was way back in 2003.
And this time around instead of the Jumpman logo we get the "Nike Air" branding. The upper features a black patent leather, gold Nike swoosh and gold translucent outsole filled with gold flakes. To add to the OG theme the shoe will also come in an OG style "Nike Air" box. As with a any OG retro release with Jordan Brand, the shoe will be limited and will be available through select Jordan Brand accounts worldwide.
Date of Release: 04/13/13
Sneaker: Air Jordan 1
Price: $140

Congress? Who needs Congress? And the Constitution? Forget about it
That's preciesly what this administration and president have done. Bypassed Congress and trashed the Constitution:
The employer mandate in the Affordable Care Act contains no provision allowing the president to suspend, delay or repeal it. Section 1513(d) states in no uncertain terms that "The amendments made by this section shall apply to months beginning after December 31, 2013." Imagine the outcry if Mitt Romney had been elected president and simply refused to enforce the whole of ObamaCare.
This is not the first time Mr. Obama has suspended the operation of statutes by executive decree, but it is the most barefaced. In June of last year, for example, the administration stopped initiating deportation proceedings against some 800,000 illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. before age 16, lived here at least five years, and met a variety of other criteria. This was after Congress refused to enact the Dream Act, which would have allowed these individuals to stay in accordance with these conditions. Earlier in 2012, the president effectively replaced congressional requirements governing state compliance under the No Child Left Behind Act with new ones crafted by his administration.
The president defended his suspension of the immigration laws as an exercise of prosecutorial discretion. He defended his amending of No Child Left Behind as an exercise of authority in the statute to waive certain requirements. The administration has yet to offer a legal justification for last week's suspension of the employer mandate.
There's even talk of impeachment, although you know that will go nowhere (see my last post). No one has the stomach to really enforce any rules up there and that goes for both sides. But, as the Constitutional scholar that wrote the above points out, the Constitution pointedly charges the executive with "the faithful enforcement of the law". In fact it is his or her constitutional duty.
The Supreme Court has been pretty clear on this too.
Of all the stretches of executive power Americans have seen in the past few years, the president's unilateral suspension of statutes may have the most disturbing long-term effects. As the Supreme Court said long ago (Kendall v. United States, 1838), allowing the president to refuse to enforce statutes passed by Congress "would be clothing the president with a power to control the legislation of congress, and paralyze the administration of justice."
And that's pretty much where this is headed. We are being subjected to the arbitrary enforcement of law. The rule of men. In the case of the statutes for ObamaCare, it's because of politics. That's why you hear no outraged voiced by Democrats. They will benefit electorally by not having to face the uproar sure to come with it's implementation should that happen before the 2014 midterms. However, as noted above, if Mitt Romney had been elected and was the one doing this, Democrats would be squealing like stuck Constitutional hogs.
Another recent example of Obama's arrogance is his "recess that wasn't a recess" appointments to the National Labor Relations Board. How can anyone have confidence in the rulings of the NLRB when it appears to have been illegally constituted – another arrogant example of ignoring the lines between executive and legislative power. If a board is illegal, how are its rulings enforceable?
These are important questions that demand an answer. Instead, they're ignored, the corruption and arrogance grows and we're subjected to arbitrary rule with no check.
If I'm not mistaken, we once based a revolution on those sorts of abuses.
12 Responses to Congress? Who needs Congress? And the Constitution? Forget about it
I think it was Krauthammer or Will who opined that we didn't really have fascist economics because we didn't really have a dictator.
That was dead wrong, of course, as to the economics.
We now see it was also wrong on the dictator part.
I particularly like:
"He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance." and
"He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them."
to whom it may concern:
Yes I looked at the Declaration on-line, please make note of that again on my permanent record would you?
With idiots like Eddie Bernice Johnson suggesting we build a national park on the moon to preserve the landing sites, with administration facilities and 'visitor services', I'm not sure we DO need Congress anyway.
Everyone knows you can't put buildings there, it'll cause the moon to capsize.
This ties in well with the desire to legalize illegal immigrants, most of whom are from Latin America: they don't come from a culture with the Anglo-Saxon concepts of rule-of-law.
I think it's GREAT.
Because precedent.
I don't want this fixed. I want to capture it, exploit it, turn it upon the left. And with even greater force.
Destroy them.
"I want to capture it"
Therein lies the one crucial flaw to an otherwise brilliant plan man.
They're moving surely to ensure it can't be captured at the ballot box.

Who is enjoying the show more when Rafe is off and when he is away from Sami? And where was that said? That may be an opinion, but I doubt it is published fact anywhere. I am sure the ejami fans are enjoying it more b/c they want him off the show period so Sami and Ej can reunite. There are many who like Rafe and like Sami and him together. IMO he has brought a lot to the show. The writers are developing his character more and more and I think we will continue to see it develop in the future.
I think they did write him for Sami and they are getting the desired results. SAFE is a very popular couple in many published polls.

Quinn Communications Partnership Takes Livestreaming Video to New LevelJanuary 10, 2014 3:42 pm Comments Off on Quinn Communications Partnership Takes Livestreaming Video to New Level
Two years ago, St. Augustine Prep purchased specific technologies to enable the live-streaming of on-campus events online. Since that time, athletic events, graduation, the Brotherhood Ceremony, and several other events have been streamed online to St. Augustine Prep community-members the world over. In late 2013, the live-streaming of campus events took a significant step forward through a partnership with Quinn Communications & Marketing, LLC.
Ken Pustizzi, a Mendel Award-Winner and long-time friend of St. Augustine Prep, founded Quinn Communications & Marketing last year as part of an agreement to purchase radio station WSNJ 1240 AM and to manage Cable Channel 2 which services Comcast subscribers in Cumberland and surrounding counties. Mr. Pustizzi's sons Kenny (Class of 2004) and Kevin (Class of 2007) both attended the Prep. Kevin currently serves as the Director of Sales and Marketing for the stations. In November, Mr. Pustizzi approached the Athletic Department and suggested a partnership for promoting the impressive achievements of scholar-athletes at St. Augustine Prep. The first phase of the project proposal involved live-streaming Hermits Basketball games. Unlike previously live-streamed events, which included game-footage and little else, the new live-streaming promised to have more of the "bells and whistles." On Friday, December 27, snjtoday.com/hermits and Cable Channel 2 carried a live, online version of a Hermits Basketball game which featured multiple camera angles, live commentary, as well as on-screen time and score-keeping (you can watch this and all of the Hermits Basketball games, including tomorrow's game against Montrose Christian School, here – take a few minutes to complete the provided survey at that location as well).
"We're very excited to offer live high-definition broadcasts of local sport events. Presenting live coverage of St. Augustine's home games, which can be viewed world-wide, makes this advancement a double win for our staff and family," said Ken Pustizzi.
In addition to promoting many different academic, athletic, and service-oriented events at St. Augustine Prep, the leadership at Quinn Communications & Marketing has also expressed an interest in providing access to their technological assets to the students of St. Augustine Prep in the form of intern/externships. This is an exciting time for the Prep, as both our internal and external constituents are working together to leverage emerging technologies with the goal of providing a platform to promote and celebrate the talents of our gifted scholar-athletes.Tags: Quinn Communications
