Book lover on a swing. This black and white etching was inspired by a drawing from my Summer 2012 sketchbook. I 'scratched' my design onto a grounded zinc plate which is then etched or 'bitten' when placed in acid. Ink is then applied, worked into the grooves, wiped off and left on in some areas to create subtle tone. This painterly inking process is repeated for every number in the small edition which is then handprinted using a press. Orders are wrapped in acid-free tissue and carefully flat-packed between two layers of cardboard in a stiffened envelope.

But in Constellations, by hot young British playwright Nick Payne, every moment Roland and Marianne share is at the mercy of the infinite and unknowable universe. A beekeeper and a quantum physicist – the odds of them getting together are astronomical. But when their worlds do collide, they keep on colliding, as all the possibilities of their life together – good, bad and ugly – flicker across the stage in a series of intricately-structured snapshots, from first date to farewell.
Sold-out seasons in New York and London – now it's Queensland's turn to be delighted and moved by this quirky and charming romance, starring Lucas Stibbard (Boy Girl Wall) and Jessica Tovey (Wonderland, Home and Away) and directed by Kat Henry.

This application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application 60/610,805, filed Sep. 17, 2004.
1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to technology that uses acoustic energy transmitted through a fluid for cleaning or some other purpose, and more particularly to a system that uses the emission of light from the fluid when it is exposed to the acoustic energy (sonoluminesence) to avoid transient cavitation.
2. Background Information
Historically, many industrial cleaning processes have made use of aqueous chemical fluids to remove particles from objects. In many cases, adding acoustic energy in the frequency range of 1 KHz to 10 MHz into the process bath has been shown to improve the cleaning process by removing particles more completely and in a shorter period of time. Introduction of acoustic energy into plating baths has also been shown to enhance electroplating processes by improved mixing of the chemistry and boundary layer, resulting in fresh species being available at the surface of the object being plated. Additionally, acoustic energy has been shown to help keep the cathode and anode clean.
Acoustically enhanced processes are commonly described as either ultrasonic or megasonic according to the frequency range of the induced sound field. The acoustic energy is commonly generated by exciting a piezoelectric crystal with a sinusoidal AC voltage. The crystal changes dimension at a rate determined by the frequency of the AC voltage. These periodic dimensional changes are mechanical vibrations, the energy from which is coupled into the process fluid through a resonator plate, thus creating an acoustic energy field. The crystal is typically tightly bonded to a transmitting member called a resonator that comes in contact with the fluid.
Ultrasonic cleaning is most appropriate for strong, heat tolerant substrate materials requiring cleaning of objects with moderately complex surface topologies. The ultrasonic frequency range is also well suited for removal of comparatively large particles from these chemically tolerant surfaces. Megasonic cleaning is appropriate for objects with heat and chemical sensitive surfaces, requiring line of sight dependent cleaning. Megasonic cleaning is also the method of choice for cleaning when the particle size is below approximately 0.3 μm.
Acoustic cavitation is generally regarded as the principle mechanism for particle removal in the cleaning process. In an acoustic field, a bubble or cavity is created when the high pressure tears the fluid, creating a bubble or void. These bubbles or voids are called cavities.
These pressure oscillations produce bubbles which expand and contract with the peaks and valleys of the pressure waves. As the bubbles expand and contract, some of the gases which form the bubble are absorbed into the fluid during contraction (compression cycle) and diffuse back into the bubble on expansion (decompression cycle). When the bubble reaches a size that can no longer be sustained by the force of the surface tension of the fluid competing against the force of the pressure differential created by passing acoustic waves, the bubble implodes.
There are two types of acoustic cavitation: stable and transient. In stable cavitation, a stable cavity (or bubble) is mostly gas filled and grows very slowly over many acoustic cycles. The energy released with an implosion event of a stable cavity is much less than that of a transient cavity. In transient cavitation, a transient cavity (or bubble) contains argon gas but has very little or no other gases in it. It will grow to a large size in only a few cycles and releases a much larger amount of energy upon collapse.
Sonoluminescence (SL) is the light released when the bubble collapses or more precisely, implodes. The pressure and speed of the implosion raises the gas inside the bubble to sufficiently high temperatures to cause emission of photons. The light emission from sonoluminescence has a frequency of 200 nm to 600 nm and is generally characterized as being in the UV spectrum.
The sonoluminescence spectrum starts at the roughly the midpoint of the visible light spectrum and extends well into the UV range. It occurs principally due to the presence of naturally occurring argon which is dissolved in the water. It is argon which is the major component in the plasma that is critical to the photon emission at the time of implosion. As cavities oscillate in size, the mostly gaseous nitrogen and oxygen molecules move back and forth in and out of the bubble with each pressure cycle change. Argon however does not, and consequently the concentration of argon inside the bubble begins to dramatically rise above the naturally occurring level of about 1% found in the earth's atmosphere. Therefore, when the bubble collapses, the predominant gas in the bubble is argon, and it is argon (and the other Noble gases) which primarily exhibit the property of sonoluminescence. Historically, sonoluminescence has been associated with transient cavitation, and was not thought to occur in stable cavitation.
The cavitation threshold is the point at which cavitation becomes predominately transient and the cavities begin to collapse violently emitting a high level of energy in the form of photons. In the past, sensors that detect sound pressure, known as hydrophones, have been used to detect transient cavitation because transient cavitation implosion events emit sufficient sound energy above the intrinsic detection threshold of the sensor. However, stable cavitation implosions emit far less energy, and are therefore undetectable by hydrophones, for practical purposes.
Another way to measure cavitation is through the use of cavitation cells, such as those described in the published Patent Cooperation Treaty document WO 02/05465 A1. Cavitation cells are used to sense fluid cavitation output directly in the cleaning bath, and are valuable tools for gathering general information on how well a bath is working or how one cleaning bath compares to another.
However, cavitation cells suffer from several problems. For example, cavitation cells cannot be left in the process bath during operation because the probe needs to be in the energy field to make its measurements and the object being cleaned also needs to be in the field. Additionally, the cell geometry does not guarantee that the fluid properties inside the cell are the same as what is in the tank, and gas buildup inside the cell affects data reproducibility.
In the early 1990's, scientists performed tests on a single bubble suspended in a fluid and determined that the oscillating bubble did emit photons at every negative pressure cycle. This was called SBSL for Single Bubble Sonoluminescence. It was theorized and confirmed that a sound field of many bubbles may have the same light synchronized response to the negative pressure cycles as a single bubble. This phenomenon became known as MBSL (Multi-Bubble Sonoluminescence) and is the dominant condition found in the tanks of most acoustically enhanced cleaning systems. The MBSL photon emission spectrum has since been measured and found to be similar to that of SBSL for similar fluid properties and conditions.
A collapsing bubble in close proximity to the surface of a sensitive substrate can exert very high localized pressure and temperatures, causing structural damage to the substrate. Cavitation implosions have been shown to have the energy of 50-150 atmospheres of pressure and temperatures of 5,500 degrees Kelvin. Exposure to the energy released by cavitation implosion events is known to be the primary mechanism for the erosion damage to the surfaces of sensitive and finely structured devices. Cleaning processes have been developed which achieve reasonably high yield rates with acceptably low damage rates. However, these processes lack real-time feedback to enable closed loop control of conditions in the cleaning tank based on cavitation level.
Recent cleaning processes have been developed that have such a low power or high frequency that commercial suppliers of the cleaning equipment have advertised them as having no cavitation. What is needed is technology that can characterize these low power cleaning processes and use them to prevent or mitigate the damage caused by transient cavitation.
Briefly, the present invention is a method and apparatus for characterizing the cavitation properties of fluids by observing the intensity of photon emission during sonoluminescence. In the present invention, it is shown that photon emission is occurring in low power acoustic energy cleaning processes. It is thought that this photon emission is from stable cavitation and that the stable cavitation is multibubble sonoluminescence (MBSL).
In preferred embodiments, the method and apparatus of the present invention measure photon emissions in the presence of stable cavitation. The photon emission information is used in a feedback loop to mitigate surface damage to delicate substrates by controlling the power level of the AC voltage signal applied the acoustic transducer in the production tank. Pressure changes in the fluid can also be used as a measure of cavitation.
An apparatus that allows utilization of this method comprises a vessel through which a process fluid flows; an acoustic energy generating means for generating acoustic energy and transmitting the acoustic energy into the fluid while the fluid flows through the vessel; and a cavitation detection means, such as a photomultiplier tube or a hydrophone, for detecting and/or quantifying cavitation in the fluid in the vessel induced by the acoustic energy.
The method of the present invention comprises the steps of: exposing a volume of process fluid to acoustic energy at a specified power level; measuring the photon output from the fluid at the specified power level over a period of time; determining a desired level of photon output; and, when the photon output deviates from the desired level, adjusting a process parameter to bring the photon output back to the desired level.
In research applications, the present invention is used to study the effects of physical parameters such as temperature, chemical composition or concentration, dissolved gas concentration, atmospheric pressure and the intensity of the acoustic energy field, on the cavitation properties of sonochemical fluids. The cavitation properties can then be correlated to surface damage, plating efficiency or the general efficacy of other sonochemical processes.
In commercial applications, the invention is used in acoustically enhanced chemical cleaning or other sonochemical processes, such as plating. In the cleaning case, this information is used to reduce chemical consumption by eliminating premature bath changes and prevent overdue bath changes from causing reduced PRE (particle removal efficiency) and the resulting loss of product due to particle compromised structures. The invention also allows adjustments to be made that avoid the damaging effects of transient cavitation.
The cavitation cell 14 is a small light-tight chamber through which process fluids are caused to flow, usually in the direction of the arrow 38. Thus, the inside of the cell 14 contains a representative sample of the process fluid which is caused to cavitate by an acoustic field supplied by the transducer 18. The process fluid may be from a nearby tank, such as the fluid reservoir 34 in a research application, or it may be a sample of process fluid from a tank in production process equipment. The cell 14 must be sufficiently light-tight so as to allow detection of photon emission levels as low as tens of photon counts per second. Additionally, the cell should remain dark even when not being used to avoid damaging the sensor 22, or increasing the background noise in the sensor 22.
The cell 14 may have a multiplicity of ports to enable management or control of the fluid test parameters as desired for a specific application or test regimen. These ports include, but are not limited, to an inlet port 42 and an outlet port 44 for allowing the process fluid sample to flow through the cell 14, as well as a pressure control port 48 to control atmospheric (barometric) pressure above the surface of the process fluid, and a vent control port 52 to remove gases which may gather at the top of the cell 14. Additional ports may be used, for example to enable fluid level control in the cell 14, or to accommodate sensors to measure various other process fluid characteristics. The need to correlate measurements of fluid properties to the photonic emission level is implicit to the purpose of the invention.
In the preferred embodiment, the power supply 26 shown in
In operation, the crystal 116 (shown in
A microcomputer 30 functions as a computer means for collecting data from the sensor 22 about the light emitted from the fluid. The microcomputer 30 is also used to control the intensity of the acoustic field inside the cell 14, by controlling the energy (electrical or otherwise) applied by the power supply 26 to the transducer 18 or other energy coupling arrangement. Typically, the photon emission level is measured by the sensor 22 at various levels of acoustic energy, and this data is collected by the microcomputer 30. Analysis of the data by the microcomputer 30 allows quantitative and qualitative information to be outputted from the microcomputer 30, for example in the graphical format shown in
The fluid reservoir 34 is a vessel containing the process fluid to be observed. It is where most of the physical and chemical parameters are controlled. Chemicals (in solid, liquid or gaseous phases) may be metered into the bath as desired. In research applications, this is merely a place to store and condition the fluid whose cavitation behavior is being studied. In a production application this element is the actual cleaning tank where process parameters are actively being monitored and adjusted by the information fed back from the invention. This vessel may be open of closed. If the cell is being used to study fluids at pressures other than 1 atmosphere, the reservoir may need to be closed and pressurized as well.
In practice, different process fluids are used for different processing tasks. The exact composition of many process fluids is proprietary to the companies that manufacture the fluids. However, typical process fluids include deionized and/or distilled water, aqueous solutions of ammonium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid, hydrofluoric acid, and combinations of these reagents. Commonly used process fluid compositions are referred to as SC-1 and SC-2.
A chemical injection block 64 indicates an optional chemical delivery system used to maintain a proscribed chemical composition of the process fluid. For example, the concentration of ammonium hydroxide or hydrogen peroxide in the process fluid can be replenished through block 64. Similarly, a gas injection block 66 indicates an optional gas injection system to increase the level of dissolved gases in the process fluid. For example, the concentration of oxygen in the process fluid can be replenished through block 66.
A temperature control block 68 indicates an optional temperature control system for controlling the temperature of the process fluid in the reservoir 34. A pump 72 is a suitably chosen pump to cause process fluid to flow through the cell 14 and other components of the system 10. A degasifier 74 is an optional device which can remove dissolved gases, like ambient air, from the process fluid. A dissolved gas monitor 76 is an optional device which can measure the level of a dissolved gas like oxygen or argon in the process fluid at a sampling station 78.
The pressure control block 54 is an optional device that controls the barometric pressure applied to the surface of the process fluid. This may include a pressure regulator to apply a positive pressure or a vacuum pump and regulator to apply negative pressure. It is recognized that use operation at pressures other than 1 atmosphere may have influence on pumping and other fluid handling issues outside the scope of this invention. It is implicit that the design of the cell 14 and sensor 22 may need special treatment when non-atmospheric pressures are present. The vent port 58 and associated equipment may be used to any out-gassing products if necessary. This port may also be used for level detection and control.
The sensor 22 is a light detection means for detecting light emitted from the fluid held in the cell 14 when cavitation is occurring (i.e. sonoluminescence). In the preferred embodiment, the sensor 22 is a photomultiplier tube (PMT), capable of sensing very low levels of photon emission, (on the order of 100 photon counts per second). For example, the photomultiplier tube model number P25232, available from Electron Tubes Inc. of Rockaway, N.J. may be used as the sensor 22. The photomultiplier tube has a window 100 through which light enters the photomultiplier tube. Preferably, the photomultiplier tube is purchased with the window 100 comprising a material that allows ultraviolet (UV) radiation to enter the photomultiplier tube.
The photomultiplier tube (sensor 22) is positioned in an aperture in the cell 14 and is held in place by a pair of screws 102 and 104 and a mounting ring 106. An O-ring 108 ensures that the sensor 22 makes a fluid tight seal. A lens cover 112 is positioned over the window 100 to protect the window 100 from chemical interaction with the process fluid. In the preferred embodiment, the lens cover 112 comprises optical grade synthetic sapphire that allows ultraviolet radiation to enter the photomultiplier tube, but other materials can be used.
In addition to the sensor 22, other sensors may be included in the system 10. For example, lasers may be added to observe light scattering when cavitation bubbles are present, even when photon emission is not. Other sensing devices, such as a hydrophone, may also be added to the cell 14 to enable correlation of data from a multiplicity of sensors. A CCD array could also be used to image the sonoluminescence effect, and would be used with a laser to detect light scattering by cavitation bubbles.
The acoustic transducer 18 an acoustic energy generating means for generating acoustic energy. In the preferred embodiment, this is an acoustic transducer which converts electrical energy into acoustic (or sound) waves in the process fluid contained in the cell 14. In the preferred embodiment, the transducer 18 comprises a piezoelectric crystal 116, comprised of a material such as PZT (Lead Zirconate Titanate), that is bonded to a resonator 118. A pair of spring electrical connectors 120 and a printed circuit board 122, provide electrical connections to the power supply 26 via an RF power connection cable 124, for example as is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,431,908. A ground contact/clamp ring 125 supports the resonator 118.
In the preferred embodiment, the crystal 116 is attached to the resonator 118 using indium, as is disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,722,379, 6,188,162 and 6,222,305, and the resonator 118 comprises a chemically inert material such aluminum or stainless steel coated with the fluorinated polymer perfluoroalkoxy (PFA). However, other means of attachment for the resonator 118 and crystal 116 can be used, such as the epoxy bonded crystals disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,804,007.
The sensor 18 is mounted on a bottom end cover 128, which fits into the cell 14 but which is detachable from the cell 14 for service. An O-ring 130 ensures that the cover 128 makes a fluid tight seal. When the cover 128 is mounted in place, the resonator 118 is in direct contact with the process fluid. In alternate embodiments, the crystal 116 can be bonded to a side-wall of the cell 14.
In a preferred embodiment, the cell 14 is cylindrical in shape and is comprised of a material that is both light-tight and impervious to chemical reaction with the process fluid. For example, a metal such as stainless steel or aluminum in which all surfaces that come into contact with the process fluid have been coated with a chemically inert substance like the fluorinated polymer perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) can be used as the cell 14. Other chemically inert materials that can function as the coating include the fluorinated polymers polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), fluorinated ethylene-propylene (FEP), or tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and other formulations, including the materials that are marketed under the trademark Teflon™; the fluorinated polymer ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene (ECTFE), including the material marketed under the trademark Halar™; or the fluorinated polymer polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), including the material marketed under the trademark Kynar™. Similarly, the resonator 118 can be coated with these chemically inert materials.
Certain applications are likely to require alternate physical shapes of the cavity 84 inside the cell 14, and/or other internal structures in the cell cavity to manage the flow of acoustic energy within the cell 14. This could involve tilting the cell 14 such that the surface of the process fluid is not parallel to the face of the transducer 18, thereby forcing the acoustic reflections from the surface of the fluid to not reflect directly back to the transducer. It is desirable under certain conditions that acoustic wave absorbing material can be used to dampen or kill standing waves. Other embodiments require internal shapes and structure to create standing acoustic waves.
In an alternate configuration, the cell 14 may be essentially inverted from the configuration shown in
The hydrophone 140 provides a means for measuring the pressure in the fluid contained in the cavity 84 as the power is increased in steps. The pressure readings from the hydrophone 140 are used to confirm that the ultraviolet light output being measured at very low power inputs is occurring during a period of very low pressure in the fluid, thus indicating that stable cavitation exists.
The baffle 144 is used to absorb acoustic energy (sound) at the top of the cell 14, thereby preventing or reducing reflected acoustic waves. In a normal acoustic energy cleaning system, the sound energy is traveling at 1.5 km/sec so it bounces around the tank very quickly. Most areas of such a tank are exposed to both the original sound energy generated by the acoustic transducer and to reflections of acoustic waves. It is necessary to understand the SL light output of a fluid under these conditions, so a cell operating without the baffle 144 (
However, in some cases, it is desirable to study exactly how the fluid will react to sound. In such cases, the cell 14 must also provide an environment that allows a pure single pass of sound energy wave to be studied (i.e. without acoustic reflections). The baffle 144 (
Returning to
The sonoluminescent behavior of process fluids displayed in
This process can be carried out using the cell 14 shown in
Conditions in an acoustic energy processing tank on a production line using SC1 process fluid are set to the previously determined level ((e.g. the acoustic transducer in a semiconductor wafer cleaning tank is driven at one watt/cm2). Then, a continuous stream of the SC1 process fluid from the acoustic energy processing tank is allowed to enter the cell 14 through the port 42. The process fluid flows through the cavity 84 and out the port 44 while the transducer 18 transmits acoustic energy into the flowing process fluid. The resulting light emission from the process fluid is monitored by the sensor 22. If the light output varies from the level of approximately 1500 counts/second, an alarm is given and remedial steps are taken.
The remedial step could be to simply stop the process. Alternatively, a process parameter could be varied in an attempt to force the cavitation condition (as indicated by the photon count) back to the desired level. The process parameter could be any relevant process parameter, including the parameters discussed previously with respect to
An apparatus that allows utilization of this method comprises a vessel, such as a light tight vessel, for holding a fluid (the cell 14); an acoustic energy generating means for generating acoustic energy (the transducer 18), the acoustic energy generating means being positioned to transmit the acoustic energy into the fluid while the fluid is held in the vessel; and a cavitation detection means (the sensor 22) for detecting and/or quantifying cavitation (i.e. for measuring cavitation) in the fluid held in the vessel when cavitation is induced in the fluid by the acoustic energy. In a preferred embodiment, the cavitation detection means comprises a light detection means, such as a photomultiplier tube. However, in other embodiments, pressure changes in the fluid can be used to measure (detect and/or quantify) cavitation in the fluid, so the hydrophone 140, or some other means, can function as the cavitation detection means.
Additional features that can be added to the apparatus include a power generation means (the power supply 26) for supplying variable amounts of power to the acoustic energy generating means; the computer means (the computer 30) for collecting data from the light detection means about the light emitted from the fluid; the chemical injection block 64; the gas injection block 66; the temperature control 68; and the dissolved gas monitor 76. Still other features include fluid injection means for injecting fluid into the vessel (the pump 72), the gas monitoring means associated with the fluid injection means for measuring a concentration of one or more gasses dissolved in the fluid (the gas monitor 76), and the temperature control means for controlling the temperature of the fluid (the temperature control 68).
Although the present invention has been described in terms of the presently preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that such disclosure is not to be interpreted as limiting. Various alterations and modifications will no doubt become apparent to those skilled in the art after having read the above disclosure. Accordingly, it is intended that the appended claims be interpreted as covering all alterations and modifications as fall within the true scope of the invention.

Buccal fat reduction
Very common question. You are tall and slim. so increasing the definition of your cheeks will help improve how masculine your face looks. I would also recommend a chin implant to help improve the jawline. There are a variety of things that we look at when we are analyzing the face that will determine what sorts of procedure you would be a good candidate for. I recommend you seek someone in your consultations who is comfortable with these procedures! Best of luck.
Web reference: http://www.miguelmascaromd.com/cheeks
Good candidate for buccal fat removal? = it depends if you have good cheek bone structure #buccalfat #buccalfatremoval
Achieving a chiseled, less chubby face requires to address multiple factors in the face and the body composition to contribute to this physical finding. This analysis will help to determine what is the plastic surgery procedure(s) what could best help to correct a chubby face, thus achieve a slimmer more chilled face.
Some of the physical findings that may need to be addressed to achieve a slimmer / chiseled face are:
- Lower anterior cheek fullness: this could be addressed surgically with buccal fat removal
- Overall body fat: weight loss to achieve a normal or low normal weight for the height ( normal BMI) is a must. (most models with chiseled face have are "skinny" and therefore have a BMI in the low normal range)
- Anterior and lateral cheek bone projection: lack of cheek bone projection won't allow to have a chiseled appearance, event if the above factors are achieved. Therefore, it someone has not good cheek bone projection, he or she may require cheek augmentation/ enhancement with either soft tissue fillers like voluma or cheek implants
Patients interested in determining if buccal fat removal may help to achieve a chiseled face should make a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon specialized in plastic surgery procedures of the face

Buccal fat resection?
Thank you for asking about your buccal fat removal.
Yes, I think your idea is a good one. You are tall and slim but have full cheeks. Reduction of the buccal fat will give you more definition of the face and a nice improvement.
Always see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Best wishes - Elizabeth Morgan MD PHD FACS

A interesting reason to visit city hall in Kansas City. But do not incorporate other city hall activities into the tourist visit as city hall is a typical of government entities.
Parking is metered and somewhat limited. The building entrances are guarded and you will pass through a metal detector. In and of itself, it is a magnificent building.
Come and walk the 30 or so floors. Great lunch event. The is the heart of Kansas City, MO. If you are downtown stop in to see the wonderful architecture.
Call ahead if you want to do the observation deck. They will close it based on temperature and arbitrary wind speed. The determining factor is if the weather can "blow someone away." Not kidding.
Don't come with teasers or fingernail clippers. They'll throw them away or break them "for free" when you go through the first security check.
Most Kansas Citians don't know that you can visit City Hall and go almost to the top floor that has an observtion deck from which you can see all of KC and parts of the surrounding communities. Used to be a walk in trip but now you need an escort provided by the city to go up on the deck....
You enter via the main entrance and ask for the observation deck at the security check point. They will tell you that you have to take the elevator to the lower level (LL). Their your ID or passport needs to be scanned. Afterwards you are allowed to take the elevator to the 28 level where a security guide will wait...
Nobody ever knows that you can go to the top of this building. Amazing views you don't get a lot of time up there but it's a fun cheap thing to do and you can see how much of Kansas City has changed a lot of the parks look really great from up above
Stopped by here on a steamy, 100 degree June day. I am terrified of heights, but my husband had been wanting to see the building and the deck, so I sucked it up and went for it. It was really pretty fun, but definitely will make your palms sweaty if you don't do well with heights. The observation deck is...
Once going through security proceed to the basement floor; then take an elevator ride to the top observation deck. An amazing view of the city, and surrounding area.
My sister and I visited the observatory on a Friday. We were looking for something fun and unique to do. We were escorted to the top by a very nice employee. She even took our picture for us! I would recommend this to anyone! The 360 view was amazing. It was a bit windy up top so I would not...

Cover your ears, everyone. There have been some truly awful car commercials over the years. But often what makes a forgettable ad memorable is the bad music that goes with it.
And now, here are 10 car ads that were pretty bad to begin with, but will now be stuck with you forever because of the appalling soundtrack that goes with them. Don't start singing them around friends or family, though, because they won't want to be around you anymore.
10.) Renault Alliance Convertible
A favorite of mine, but for all the wrong reasons. I find reasons to make everyone I know aware that this commercial for the equally laughable Alliance convertible exists. The commercial may have started as a rejected tampon ad.

When the young German film director Robert Siodmak and his friends were "schlepping" a camera round Berlin, making their film People on Sunday (1930), none of them could have envisaged how little time they had left in Germany.
Siodmak, whose career is celebrated this spring with a season at BFI Southbank, his brother Curt, his flatmate Billy Wilder, Edgar Ulmer and Fred Zinnemann were unknowns in their early twenties, beginning to make their way in the German film industry. The film itself, shot over several months of Sundays, is a paean to a carefree, youthful hedonism. How do its good-looking and very modern-seeming Berliner protagonists spend their Sundays? They head south to the lake and forests of Nikolassee; drink, picnic, swim, listen to music, flirt and have sex in the woods. There are no particular worries in their lives beyond the threat of boredom, mild hangovers, jealousy over lovers and the normal restrictions of the working week.
Flash forward a few years and the lives of the young film-makers, who were all Jewish, had been thrown into upheaval. None remained in Germany. Siodmak fled the country in 1933, just after the premiere of his film Burning Secret, an adaptation of a Stefan Zweig novel which Nazi propaganda boss Joseph Goebbels had recommended banning on the grounds of its "sick sultriness and airless muddle-headedness".
Following the familiar route of émigré German film-makers, Siodmak headed first to Paris, where he continued to direct with moderate success, and then, in 1939, he went to Hollywood. Once there, he was absorbed by the studio system, signing a two-year contract with Paramount and then a seven-year one with Universal.
After all the disruption he had faced in Europe, Siodmak wanted to fit in. He wasn't afraid of "hack work". A balding, bespectacled figure, he looks in old photographs like a provincial bank manager. Scan his credits and what leaps out is the bizarre range: everything from horror pictures such as Son of Dracula (1943) with Lon Chaney Jr ("It was terrible," Siodmak later complained) to Deanna Durbin vehicle Christmas Holiday (1944). He was a director for hire who knew, as he told Sight and Sound magazine in 1959, that his job was to be a "little bit better" than the other directors vying for the same jobs.
Siodmak was an example of what Martin Scorsese has called the director as "a smuggler," someone who adjusted to the limitations of the studio system and then looked for cracks in that system through which to pull in his own ideas. In the mid-1940s, he became one of Hollywood's greatest proponents of film noir, making classics such as The Spiral Staircase, Phantom Lady, The Dark Mirror, Criss Cross and Cry of the City.
Siodmak realised early on that the secret to getting your own way with the studio bosses was making compromises in order to maintain overall control. "If you refuse scripts too often or argue straight away you get the reputation of being difficult," he told Sight and Sound. "Instead, when I was offered a script which I thought had a basically good idea, however mishandled, I would say, 'Yes, fine, of course I'll do it.'" He would sit back and wait until the film was almost ready to shoot. Then, he would suggest what seemed like a very modest change. "This would always be accepted, if only to keep the peace, and then of course other things would have to be altered to fit in with it, and gradually the thing would start coming to pieces at the seams." By the time shooting had actually started, everything would be so confused that Siodmak could do exactly as he liked.
As critic and Siodmak enthusiast Pauline Kael noted, his Hollywood films are "much better known than he is". He is certainly far less celebrated than Alfred Hitchcock (one of whose key collaborators, Joan Harrison, produced Siodmak's Phantom Lady) or his fellow German Fritz Lang but his best work easily stands comparison with their films of the same period.
You can see the influence of Siodmak's most famous feature The Killers (1946) on everything from Boardwalk Empire to Raging Bull. The film has Ernest Hemingway's name prominently displayed on the credits and its opening scenes are based closely on Hemingway's Nick Adams short story of the same name.
The script (co-written by an uncredited John Huston), though, is just the starting point for a movie that features multiple flashbacks, one of Hollywood's most alluring and dangerous femmes fatales, and a mood of poetic fatalism.
"Swede" Andreson (a youthful Burt Lancaster making his debut) is a washed-up former boxer, eking out an existence in a small town. The "killers" come for him in the opening scenes – and he doesn't have the will to make any attempt to escape them. He made a mistake and now he is paying for it. Only when he is about to be gunned down – the end point of Hemingway's story – does the real drama begin. In multiple flashbacks, as an insurance investigator (Edmond O'Brien) investigates, we begin to learn what prompted his killing. There is a truly brutal boxing scene in which the Swede receives a savage beating. He hits the canvas once, takes the count, gets up and is then knocked down again. Only after the fight do we learn that he had a broken hand and will never fight again. His girlfriend Lily sticks by him but he quickly becomes distracted by the gorgeous and entirely untrustworthy Kitty Collins (Ava Gardner). "I could never bear to see a man I care for really hurt," she purrs at Andreson when they first meet and she discovers he's a boxer. She then proceeds to destroy his life.
Siodmak resented the influence of the producer Mark Hellinger on The Killers. Hellinger was a former journalist who liked each scene to end with a punch line. That was too obvious for the German director, who tried to cut out the self-conscious one-liners when his producer wasn't looking. In Siodmak's films, the camera work and the staging are as important as the dialogue. He uses shadow like no other director. The stylised lighting, which the US critic Andrew Sarris called "heavy Teutonic sauce," had its roots in his apprenticeship in the German film industry during the late silent era. In his Hollywood films, he used it to create a sense of erotic tension (to show, for example, why "Swede" is so bowled over by Ava Gardner), to provide menace and also to emphasise his characters' guilt and uncertainty.
There was often a strong Freudian element to his work. The Dark Mirror (1946), for example, was a wonderfully overcooked psychological thriller in which Olivia de Havilland played the dual role of identical twins, Teresa and Ruth Collins. One is a nice girl, the other (inevitably) is a homicidal killer. Cry of the City (1948) was notable for its use of New York locations, for its brutality and for its realism. Richard Conte starred as Martin Rome, a gangster being hunted down by the cop (Victor Mature) he grew up with.
Siodmak's golden decade was the 1940s. It is no coincidence that the era marked the high point of film noir. By the early 1950s, he was becoming disillusioned with Hollywood and headed back to Europe. As Gardner's biographer Lee Server pointed out, Siodmak liked to joke that he "got out of Germany just ahead of Hitler – and out of Hollywood just ahead of CinemaScope".
Over the next 20 years, Siodmak made films in France, Britain, back home in Germany and even in Hollywood again but he didn't seem remotely interested in self-publicity. He wasn't rediscovered and feted by European critics in the way that many other directors of his era had been. It is somehow fitting that he ended up living in the picturesque but sleepy Swiss town of Locarno, which was also where the crime writer Patricia Highsmith lived at the end of her career.
Lee Server quotes Siodmak's brother Curt as telling him: "He [Robert] was a genius. He pissed it away." That is hardly a fair assessment of a career encompassing dozens of films, several of them masterpieces that helped define the film noir genre. Since his death, his reputation has grown and he is now finally receiving the praise that was largely denied him during his lifetime.

Has anyone had any bad experiences with retaining walls restrained by plywood diaphragms? With a basement wall that is pinned at the top and bottom, a wood floor is subjected to significant sustained in-plane compression. Even with a well drained wall and proper floor nailing and blocking I would expect shrinkage and creep of the wood diaphragm to result in problems such as distress to brittle floor finishes(tile). Any examples to cite? Thanks. Dan Devlin San Jose, CA mailto:ddevlin(--nospam--at)biggscardosa.com

Slot Alerts was founded back in 2012 and is owned and operated by ProgressPlay Ltd. The site itself looks a bit plain, but the variety of handpicked games from a number of software providers make you forget all about that. Together with well-established licenses and good banking options, Slot Alerts looks like a trusted site. In this review, we are taking a closer look at Slot Alerts key points so you can decided yourself either to play or not. Let's start with the bonuses.
Promotional Offers
Slot Alerts offers free spins on Starburst as its Welcome Bonus. In addition to that, your first deposit will be matched too. On the paper, this seems like a solid offer, but when you get more into it you'll notice some rather alerting regulations. First of all, this bonus carries a huge wagering requirement. Secondly, it's only valid for 7 days, so make sure you meet the play-through before your time runs out.
The casino also has a VIP programme. After creating an account you start off from a bronze level. As you place more bets on different slots you earn comp point and advance in levels. Better levels grant you access to better benefits, such as VIP customer support, birthday presents, personalised gifts and exclusive bonuses.
T&C's apply to each and every bonus deal, so make sure you read the fine print to fully understand what you apply for.
1x2gaming, Microgaming, NetEnt, NextGen Gaming, NYX Interactive and Thunderkick are the main engines providing Slot Alerts with their games. You can access the lobby and try out demo version of the games by using common browsers such as Mozilla, Chrome and Safari. You can also play on the go since mobile versions of the games are also available.
The lobby itself looks a bit plain and old. Nevertheless, it has all the necessary features such as good categorisation, which turn it into a working and functional lobby.
Games at Slot Alerts Casino
Slot Alerts features games like Avalon II, HellBoy, Hitman, Fire Hawk and Thunderstruck II. Besides slots, the site offers a variety of table games as well. Some of Microgaming's top tables are available, including live dealer variants, but not all of them. In general, Slot Alerts doesn't offer the full range of games, but rather a handpicked selection of what they believe are the best games on the market.
What's cool about Slot Alerts is the variety of scratch cards. Try your luck on games like Beer Fest, Spingo, Germinator and Pick 'n' Switch.
Security and Banking
A secure casino always has good licenses to show as well. This guarantees player protection and a steady payout rate. Slot Alerts has licenses issued by both the Malta Gaming Authority and UK Gambling Commission. These two licenses mean you can play almost anywhere from Europe. Slot Alerts also publishes game payout percentages, so make sure to check out where your favourites stand.
Banking options at Slot Alerts include credit cards such as Visa, MasterCard and e-wallets like Skrill and Neteller, together with other methods such as prepaid cards and instant banking. So you'll have a lot to choose from.
When it's time to cash out, you have to take into account the maximum limit. Otherwise it's a smooth sailing with no additional fees set by the casino and quite fast withdrawal times.
Customer Support
Getting in touch with Slot Alerts is a bit difficult for players who are used to live chat since they don't have this option on their list. You can, however, send them an email or fill in a web-form. If you'd like to do your own research, the site offers a lot of information by itself. For example take a look at T&C and Bonus Policy.
***Please Note The information on this page can change without notice. For final verification of any terms and conditions, wagering requirements, game exclusions and bonus rules, please confirm directly with Slot Alerts Casino before registering.

Constantly alive with street performers and bustling with shoppers, tourists and locals alike, Covent Garden is one of London's most vibrant destinations over the festive season. It is not only home to scores of shops and stalls selling quirky Christmas gifts, but also plays host to a fantastic Italian restaurant where you could enjoy this year's corporate party.
Owned by one of the country's most popular celebrity chefs, this restaurant is small but perfectly formed and always buzzing with activity. We'll reserve a table for you in the attractive dining room, decking it out in festive style as a little added touch. When you're comfortably seated and enjoying your first drinks of the evening, you can browse through a tempting selection of dishes on the Christmas party set menus.
Classic Italian dishes such as Bruschetta, Bolognese and Carbonara demonstrate the restaurant's dedication to traditional Italian cooking. Yet the menu is given a contemporary twist thanks to the unusual Italian Burger and Harissa-Spiced Aubergine option for veggies.
There's bound to be something to tempt everyone in your group, especially on the dessert menu. Satisfy your sweet tooth with refreshing sorbet, creamy White Chocolate Cheesecake or the extravagant Epic Brownie, which speaks for itself.
You can enjoy one complimentary glass of wine or Prosecco as part of the package, but there are also plenty of carefully selected beers and spirits available from the bar for a little extra. Boasting delicious food, a sociable atmosphere and a great central location, this venue is perfect for a memorable Christmas meal.

Company Vehicle Leasing
The advantages of car leasing may now be recognised by general consumers, but it was company vehicle leasing that began the explosion of interest in leasing deals.
There are many incentives for company vehicle leasing. By buying a fleet of vehicles outright, you are forced to make a large cash payout and take on ownerships of cars that may not hold their value over a prolonged period of time. With company vehicle leasing, you can spread the payments into more manageable monthly sums, knowing that you can return the car at the end of the contractual period and upgrade with a new company vehicle lease if necessary.
This is particularly useful for businesses that have a high turnover of staff or flexible workloads. By taking out a short-term company vehicle leasing agreement you guarantee that you have the vehicles when you need them – and you're not left with unwanted cars once this period ends.
One of the most important elements of company vehicle leasing is the mileage limit for each car you lease. Bear in mind that residual values will be calculated based on the mileage limit you agree with the leasing company at the start of the contractual period. It is important to accurately estimate this mileage. If you drive over the limit you could be fined – but if you drive significantly under the limit, you could be paying too much on your monthly payments.
The key to company vehicle leasing is flexibility. If you're starting a new business you avoid making a large down-payment, you know your monthly payments will be lower than with purchasing options and due to lower expenses you can potentially afford cars that were previously out of reach. You could offer a stronger image of your business by leasing a company vehicle that would not be affordable if you were to buy outright.

Suwannee County
|Summary of Features
Full Directions
About 1 mile upriver from the boat landing at Lafayette Blue Spring or 1.5 miles downriver from the Allen Mill Pond or Charles Spring boat ramps on the east side of the Suwannee River. Look for a small break in the river berm just upriver from a brown house on stilts. In time of normal or high river levels, water would be flowing from the spring through the outlet. Intimes of drought, the spring and run do not flow.
For maps, latitude/longitude data, driving directions, satellite imagery, and topographic representations as well as weather conditions at this spring, go to Greg Johnson's informative "Florida Springs Database" web site atthe following address: http://www.ThisWaytothe.Net/springs/floridasprings.htm#Florida
Spring Description
The spring is in a circular depression that opens through the levee along the Suwannee River. On date of visit (February 2004), water flowed from a small opening in the ground (about 18 inches in diameter), creating an oval pool about 6 feet wide. The flow then formed shallow (3-5 inches) and narrow (2-5 feet wide) run that snaked its way about 80 feet and into the Suwannee River. Water in the spring was clear, and there was some algae in run. Land rises up around the spring to a hieght of about 20 feet, and the rim of the depression is perhaps 75 feet across. Hardwoods line the spring and fill the uplands above it. The mouth of the run cuts through the natural river berm and also creates an opening in a t hick stand of large tree-like shrubs (or small, shrub-like trees)
When visited by the authors in winter 2000 (a period of significant drought), the spring and its run we re dry and had been for several months as evidenced by leaf build-up on the ground. A hole in the center of the depression contained perhaps of gallon of visible water as well as some trash.
On private property although not signposted. No apparent use.
Personal Impressions
The authors had wanted to see Thomas for several years and had visited nearly every spring around it. Discovering in 2000 that weather conditions had rendered Thomas a dry crater was, to put it mildly, something of a letdown. They had been paddling for hours and endured a soaking from a sudden thundershower. Finding it flowing again in 2004 was very gratifying for JF; RB was not along on this trip, but graciously showed no outward signs of the jealousy hefelt when he saw the photographs!

Provost's biography
'Currently, we are entering a difficult period in Scottish politics but I feel that in Stirling we have a great variety of talent and expertise in our Councillors, irrespective of party affiliations. A key part of my role as Provost will be to harness those talents and urge all members to work together for the benefit of all our citizens.
I am delighted to represent Dunblane and Bridge of Allan ward and to the best of my knowledge, am the second councillor from Dunblane to hold this post. I will strive to encourage inward investment to our city, maximise the tourism potential of our outstanding countryside and protect our environment.'
A little bit about me
I have a very diverse and professional background, providing me with the vast experience in my new role. I have been a self-employed management consultant for the past 12 years. Over the past four years I have carried out a number of commissions in East Africa as a technical advisor to the governments of Kenya and Zambia.
I trained as an internal consultant with the Civil Service College and worked in most central government departments, training senior managers in leadership and management development. Earlier in life I trained as a housing manager and held posts within local authorities in both England and Scotland.
I am also an associate of a leading negotiation consultancy and have delivered training solutions to a number of FTSE 100 companies.
My home town Dunblane
My wife, Jayne and I, have lived in Dunblane since 1987, having spent a short period in temporary council accommodation in Fallin - where we still have firm friends. We have two grown-up children,both born in SRI, who are now in higher education.
My family love Dunblane and have established many lasting friendships. I am a active parishioner of the Holy Family Church and enjoy the odd game of golf when time permits. I last played in the Lusaka Golf Club in February and had a great time dodging snakes whilst searching for lost balls.
Provost - Mike Robbins

The most cost effective seismic design guide was written by many of the same authors of the NEHRP, the ASCE 7 Seismic Task Committee, and the IBC seismic provisions. Some of the authors were also contributors to the AISC Seismic Design Guide. The NEHRP Recommended Provisions: Design Examples FEMA 451 is available on the BSSC web site: http://www.bssconline.org/. It is one of the best free seismic design documents available. A CD is available from FEMA.
Caution, the author of Chapter 12 is known to take a drink. Downloading this document will cost you 1 beer. (I drink expensive beer, wine, and cognac) Running a tab is acceptable.

Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2007 09:19:54 -0800 (PST)I am unfamiliar with the seismic design requirements associated with Seismic Design Category D for steel structures. I know AISC 341-02 is a reference guide (per IBC 2003), and I have downloaded that document from AISC, but was wondering if those with more familiarity with seismic design requirements for steel structures could refer me to a good text book or other references to assist me in getting up to speed on the AISC 341 requirements.Thank you Jerold Taylor PE Norfolk VA --------------------------------- It's here!
