Primary Examiner-Robert L. Lindsay, Jr. AttorneyMichael S. Striker [5 7] ABSTRACT In the process of manufacturing flat fibrous structures from suspensions of fibers by depositing a suspension of such fibers onto a moving permeable surface such as an endless sieve or belt wherein the fibrous suspension has been prepared from fibrous structures formed of a plurality of fibers which have been obtained by drawing a flowing glass melt, followed by chopping of the drawn fibers to form the fiber structures of predetermined length, the improvement in accordance with the invention of preparing the fiber suspension from fiber structures obtained by directing jets of liquid onto the glass fibers drawn from the glass melt and which are being wound onto the periphery of a rotating drum in a parallel arrangement and which after a certain layer thickness thereof has been obtained are cut to a predetermined length with the fibers still being in the moistened state.
6 Claims, 4 Drawing Figures PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING ENDLESS FIBER WEBS FROM INORGANIC FIBER SUSPENSIONS This invention relates to a process for preparing endless fibrous webs from suspensions of inorganic fibers and more particularly relates to an improved process of preparing fibrous suspensions for use in the making of endless fibrous webs.
It is known that flat fibrous structures can be manufactured by the procedures utilized in the manufacture of paper and in particular by the so called wet process. The fibers are for this purpose possibly in admixture with a binding agent, suspended in water to form the fiber suspension. The fiber suspension is required to be entirely uniform in nature as the quality of the resultant fibrous structure or web is directly determined by the degree of uniformity, i.e., homogeneity of the suspension. It is accordingly necessary that the starting fiber material be dispersed in the water so that there is obtained a suspension of the individual single fibers. The resultant fiber suspension is then delivered onto a moving perforated belt on which it is deposited out in a uniform form. The thusly obtained layer of fibers is then withdrawn while still moist and further worked up to form a coherent felted fiber web.
Recently it has been observed that this technique which has been associated with cellulosic and other natural fiber materials can be satisfactorily adapted for use with glass fibers. As is known, as raw fiber starting material, there are used bundles of fibres chopped up to form staple. The requirement that the bundles of fibers thereafter be decomposed into the individual fibers has posed great difficulties in connection with the use of inorganic materials such as glass fibers.
In the manufacture of glass cords or ropes there is in the known manner provided a plurality of individual fibers of endless length but without any rotation or twist having been imparted thereto so as to provide a substantially parallel arrangement of closely associated fibers joined so as to form the unitary cord or rope. In order to ensure that the single untwisted fibers are sufficiently adhered one to the other as to impart to the resultant cord or rope a resistance to abrasion as required by the later working, the fibers in the process of their manufacture have been adhered one to the other by means of a binding agent. The fibers are thusly combined one with the other to form the unified structure and this structure is thereafter chopped up to form staple consisting of the same units each of substantially equal length. However, these units are thereafter only with considerable difficulty separated into the single or individual fibers as is required in connection with the production of the satisfactory webs.
In order to avoid the above difficulties, it has been proposed that the binding agent be reduced in amount to a minimum, i.e., that in order to improve the decomposition of the bundle of fibers forming the staple into the single and individual fibers in the suspension medium, such as water, the binding agent has been considerably reduced in amount. The result has been that in the chopping process considerable and unsatisfactory dust is evolved and more important a preliminary splitting up of the bundle into the individual fibers takes place which in no way enhances the distribution of the fibres in the suspending medium but which rather only results in that the fibers before their introduction into the suspending medium becomes entangled and are thereafter disentangled only with great difficulty, if at all.
The poor decomposition of the fiber bundles into the single fibers has the disadvantageous effect that it results in the formation of specks or spots. This speck formation and spotting not only gives rise to a nonuniform fiber suspension but also produces an impaired final product. In order to avoid the speck formation or for extensively reducing the same, a number of precautionary measures have been proposed. Such measures include regulating the length of the staple so as to be as low as possible, for example, a maximum length of 6 mm has been proposed and in addition to employ in the fiber suspension an additional agent serving to segregate the speck or spot forming material. Still further, it has been proposed that to obtain a better and more uniform distribution of the individual fibers in the suspension agent, there be employed certain additives, such as for example, wetting agents. The disadvantage of such additives includes not only the increased costs for the additives but for the increased working time and equipment required in order to achieve the same operating capacity as when no additives are present. Still further, the use of additives such as the wetting agent has the disadvantage that the same brings about a formation of foam which result in the production of finished webs chracterized as defective by virtue of included flaws and by a cloudy or hazy appearance. The quality of the finished web is particularly so adversely affected, when the webs are very thin in nature, i.e., have a surface weight of about 45-55 g/m.
Further the 'webs prepared on the basis of short length staples, i.e., about 6 mm are characterized as noted above by their lack of uniformity, impaired strength resistance and also by optically negative effects. When glass fiber webs having a non-uniform fiber distribution are used, for example, as surfacing felts in the synthetics industry, for example as insulating and decorating plates or as so-called painting felts, there results that in the non-uniform areas of the web there is an uneven porosity resulting in an unequal uptake of the dye, paint or other coating material applied thereon, so that the final finished product presents an uneven appearance characterized by so-called disturbing spots. 7
In addition to the use of glass fiber bundles or bundles of glass fiber rovings, it has been proposed to use so-called fiber ribbons or tapes. The ribbons or tapes are prior to suspension in the suspension medium cut up to staple length and in this form introduced into the suspension medium. It was believed by the art that the staple segments formed from the glass fiber ribbon or tape and which contain no binding agent would be decomposed and distributed in the water or like suspension medium in the form of the desired single fibers more readily than were the bundles of glass fibers as previously described.
This has however not been the case. All of the deficiencies and defects associated with the use of bundles of fibers containing the decreased amount of binder are encountered when using the fiber ribbon or tape staple. The disadvantages are already evident in the chopping process in that different lengths of fiber have been used in the production of the ribbon or tape, the chopping forther contributing to the unevenness in resultant fiber length. Further the fibers in the ribbon are not parallelly arranged with respect to each other and are further entangled in the chopping or cutting process. The entanglement is so marked that the necessary separation into the individual fibers in the suspension medium is no longer possible. As a result, a strong flock formation takes place which is manifested in the finished product as an optically disturbing flaw or defect and in untenable variations in the surface weight, strength, porosity, etc. of the finished web.
It is an object of the invention to provide a method for economically and simply producing fibrous webs characterized by their uniformity in surface weight, strength and porosity throughout.
It is another object of the invention to provide a process for producing uniform fiber suspension for use in the preparation of such endless webs.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a process for producing uniform and homogeneous suspensions of glass fibers making possible endless fibrous webs and felts characterized by the uniformity of the fiber distribution therein.
These and other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description including the drawing forming a part thereof and which diagrammatically illustrates the process of the invention.
In accordance with the invention it has now been found that substantially uniform and homogeneous suspensions of glass fibers in a suspension medium intended for use in the production of endless fiber webs can be obtained if the individual units each composed of a plurality of glass fibers of uniform length are introduced into the suspension medium in a moistened state, wherein the moistness has been imparted to the fiber units in the process of their manufacture and namely between the drawing of the glass melt into endless fibers and the chopping thereof into staple.
The choice of the agent serving for moistening the drawn glass fibers is from amoung the materials known to the art in connection with the manufacture of fiber cords and ropes and includes those liquids used for instance as finishes or lubricants. The particular material selected depends on the choice of the material employed as suspension medium. If the latter is water, then for the moistening, water or a liquid soluble in water can be used.
In accordance with the invention there is now provided a process for manufacturing flat fiber structures from fiber suspensions by deposition of such suspensions on a moving permeable surface for instance an endless sieve or belt, wherein the fiber suspension is obtained by introducing unitary fiber structures each composed of a plurality of parallelly arranged fine glass fibers prepared by drawing a glass melt and while winding such fibers in a parallel arrangement onto the periphery of a known type of rotating drum, spraying the same with jets of a liquid material, the winding being continued util a certain layer thickness has been reached. Thereafter the movement of the drum is interrupted and the layers are cut through while still in the moistened state to form the units composed of the adhering parallelly arranged fibers all having substantially the same predetermined length.
These units composed of the moistened fibers are then introduced into the suspension medium with the result that the units of the adhering fibers undergo rapid and complete decomposition and are substantially completely uniformly distributed as individual fibers in the suspension liquid. The parallel arrangement of the fibers, absence of any binder and the assistance of the moistening agent all contribute to the rapid decomposition of the structure of the fiber units or bundles.
The distribution of the fibers in the suspension medium can be even further improved upon if there is added to the fiber suspension any of the known wetting agents. In accordance with a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention the wetting agent can be incorporated into the liquid, for instance water used for spraying the fibers as they are being wound onto the drum. This has the advantage that the wetting agent is incorporated directly as a part of process of producing the fibers. Under the conditions of the just-mentioned embodiment, the decomposition of the fiber bundles into their component single fibers is considerably enhanced, this being the case even where the fibers have undergone a considerable drying out of the moisture on the surfaces thereof.
The process of the invention will be further illustrated by reference to the accompanying drawing which is a flow sheet representing the sequence of operations that are required to produce the continuous webs of glass strands that are referred to herein.
In FIG. 1 the molten glass is drawn in the form of strands onto a rotating drum while a stream of liquid is applied to the drum.
In FIG. 2 the plurality of successive drawn and spooled layers of parallel glass strands are cut into units and peeled from the rotating drum.
In FIG. 3 the peeled unit is flattened.
In FIG. 4 the flattened unit is chopped into smaller units composed of strands of shorter lengths, which are then placed into a liquid where the unit is broken up into individual short strands and are then passed along in the form of a suspension in a liquid through various conduits and vessels to a webforming machine.
As can be seen from the drawing, the process is carried out by forming in the conventional manner a plurality of single fibers by extrusion of a flowing glass melt using therefor a plate provided with a plurality of nozzles. The glass is delivered from a tank or source 2 containing the molten glass and the fibers thus formed applied onto a rapidly rotating drum 3 so that they are wound in a parallel arrangement onto the periphery of the drum. An intensive and thorough moistening of all of the individual fibers is carried out in accordance with the invention by spraying over the entire drum surface a liquid stream, for example water, using therefor a fan-shaped spray device 4. There is thusly simultaneously obtained a good adhesion of the first fiber layer on the drum surface and moistening of all of the applied fibers.
The intense moistening of the individual fibers acts also to further ensure the cohesion of the fibers to each other under maintenance of the parallel arrangement. After a certain layer thickness has been reached, the movement of the drum is halted and the layers of fiber cut through along the longitudinal direction 5 of the drum. The cut layers of fibers are then separated off from the drum surface. Advantageously the layers can also be cut in-the direction 6 of the drum circumference. This latter cutting serves to form smaller packets or bundles 7 of the moist fibers.
It has been established by testing that the average moisture content of the fiber material present on the drum surface amounts to about 17 percent which in the time elapsed from their manufacture to the chopping is reduced to about 12-15 percent.
A too marked decrease in the moisture content can be avoided by taking appropriate measures self evident to the artisan.
It has been found to be particularly advantageous if the moist fiber packets are delivered immediately following their formation into a chopping apparatus 8 wherein the same are chopped up into fiber structures 9 preferably having a length of between 10 and 30 mm. Another advantage of the process of the invention and in particular stemming from the use of the moistened glass fibers results therefrom that the brittleness of the fiber which is manifested in their dry state and which for instance in the conveying of the fibers leads to breakage and entanglements is considerably lessened in accordance with the invention as is the disadvantage of dust evolvement.
The still moist parallel fiber structures 9 are then continuously conveyed for instance by means of a conveying belt 10 the movement of which is preferably controlled by an intermediately arranged apportioning apparatus provided for feeding the fiber structures at regularly spaced distances, into a mixing tank 11 and therein admixed with the suspension medium which preferably is water.
The condition of the fibers in the packet, that is, the existing cohesion of the fibers in the structure by virtue of the moistening agent particularly in the case where the same agent also serves as the suspension medium and also where the moistening agent is soluble in such suspension medium results in that there is quickly and completely brought about a destruction of the cohesive bonds between the fibers and the same are separated one from the other.
The separation is a very extensive one resulting in a uniform distribution of fibers in the suspension medium. The mixture of fibers and suspension medium is then fed from the mixing tank 11 by means of a pump 15 into the working tank 16 and from there by means of a pump 17, possibly via an intermediately installed beater 14 of the known construction, discharged into the conduit 22 of the circulating suspension medium and while still in this highly dilute form introduced into the material take-off tank 1%. Following separation of the liquid suspension medium from the fibers in chamber 19, the suspension medium is delivered over a conduit 211 after passing through a conventional filter apparatus into a storage container 211. By means of pump 23 the circulating suspension medium is thereafter recycled via conduit 24 into the mixing tank 11 where it is reused for suspending additional fibrous material. The suspension of fibers still present in the take-off tank 18 is then applied onto the moving perforated belt for forming the web.
It is also possible in accordance with the invention in the case of particularly difficulty suspendable glass fibers to continuously circulate the suspension agent 12 from the mixing tank 11 through the working tank 116 and the material take off 18 back into the mixing tank 11 whereby if necessary there can be installed further mixing and working tanks. In this way, instead of directly delivering the material to the storage or take off tank, a further working tank and mixing tank are installed prior to the take-off tank and adequate and uniform distribution of the fibers in the suspension medium thereby assured. It is to be understood that there can be used in the working tank the conventional stirring apparatus for ensuring the best possible decomposition of the fiber packets and distribution of the individual fibers.

MU's intercultural studies program was recently renamed the global studies program. But the switch is more than a name change. I sat down with Global Studies Chair Dr. Greg Burch for the full scoop.
How is global studies different from intercultural studies?
Global studies provides students with everything intercultural studies did, but changing the name opened up the opportunity to add five concentrations:
- Global Ministry
- Children at Risk
- Culture and Diversity
- Applied Linguistics
- International Regional Studies
These concentrations are interdisciplinary. So a student might take an English class on minority voices. Or say you have a student who wants to work in the Middle East after they graduate. Now they can spend a semester over there. Want to translate the Bible? Applied Linguistics will teach you how to preserve culture while giving the written word of God to those who haven't had access to it. Our concentrations provide students with better skills to work in their area of interest.
Why was this change made?
Over the past couple of years our department has been researching a way forward for our program given the complexities of our globalized world. We noted that the intercultural studies program had remained virtually unchanged for a number of years, so we assessed the program through student focus groups and one-on-one interviews. We got the sense that the current program was not connecting as well as it could with this generation of students who were living in a highly complex mission environment.
What kind of feedback were you getting from these focus groups and one-on-one meetings?
Students talked about needing practical skills and a targeted education. Now these concentrations get to the skills they wanted. We've also indicated potential career options around each concentration.
Another thing they mentioned was having redundant classes. So I removed an entire class and combined other classes.
What are you most excited about as you move forward?
The Children at Risk concentration. I've worked with street children and children at risk for over 10 years. That's what God has made me for. This concentration prepares them for national and international work with kids.
We're also enlarging the opportunities students will have for vocational ministry and marketplace jobs. I'm excited about the fact that we're getting beyond that secular/sacred divide in missions that was so ingrained in many of our Bible colleges and seminaries. We have come to realize that we must engage with our culture and world in vocations that are relevant to where people are at.
Some students are not in the position to raise support for missions the traditional way. But there are things they can do beyond missions work. Their calling can be found in governmental or secular organizations. They can have salaries and still serve Christ in their mission. Others will still feel called to serve with faith-based missions agencies, and we still prepare people for support raising and missionary service.
There is a crisis in missiological education today. The culture of missions is changing, but a lot of missions programs haven't changed. We're trying to get ahead of the curve, and we're trying to engage where we are today without watering anything down.
Who is this program for?
If you're interested in serving people, working with ethnic groups, church-planting, international vocations — this is critical for you. You'll be given the tools to thrive. If you want to be a transforming force in the world, these classes will help. Each concentration has its values and provides practical skills in those areas.
What are the benefits of getting the Bible and theology major with the global studies major?
You'll be well-rounded. You'll become someone who loves God's Word. And if you work with non-faith-based organizations, where you might be a minority as a Christian, developing habits of spiritual discipline will be all the more important.
Also, understanding global theology helps us understand what other people are thinking, so we're not surprised with different ways of processing. We need to think openly when learning from the global church. Our faculty does a wonderful job preparing students for that.
Join the party
The Global Studies Department is having a celebration/informational meeting, and you're invited!
Friday March 13
10 a.m. to 10:45 a.m.*
Bradley Hall, B3
Intercultural studies students will learn about transitioning to global studies, and others can hear details about the new program. There will also be food, music and a time of international worship.

Any idea why mine would mix a lot of white noisey static into the signal when it's plugged into the 1/8" output of my Macbook Pro? It works fine from my iPhone's headphone port…
Does the voltage of the power supply affect the loudness of the output?
No public wish lists :(

John Michael "J.D." Dorian, M.D. is a fictional character and the main protagonist in the American comedy-drama "Scrubs," played by Zach Braff. He is the narrator and main character of the series (Seasons 1-8). He provides voice-overs that reveal his internal thoughts and an overall narration in the show, often linking the story arcs in each episode thematically.
J.D. appears in every episode during the first eight seasons except two season 8 episodes: "My Absence," in which he is only heard through a cellphone, and "My Full Moon."
Braff was a regular cast member for the first eight seasons, and appeared in six episodes of Season 9 to help transition the series into its new format. For his portrayal of the character, Braff was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award in 2005[2] and received three consecutive Golden Globe Award nominations in 2005, 2006 and 2007.[3]
Character background[edit]
J.D.'s name is based on that of Dr. Jonathan Doris, a college friend of series creator Bill Lawrence.[4] Doris served as a medical advisor on the show.[5] According to Zach Braff, he feels that after seven years, there is not much of J.D.'s personality left to be explored, except for his relationship with best friend Christopher Turk, while Lawrence has stated that the seventh season was to show J.D. finally growing up, in order to satisfy many fans who did not want to see him stay the same.[6]
However, Braff also says that J.D. has gradually evolved over the series, but at the same time cannot evolve too much, as they need to "[give] the fans what they want, which is to see the characters be themselves."[7]
In a 2008 interview, Braff stated that while he feels "most at home when I'm playing a Jewish character", the writers for Scrubs chose to imply that Dorian was Christian because the show needed "to appeal to the most massive audience possible" out of concern that some people might not watch a show featuring a Jewish main character.[8]
Fictional character biography[edit]
J.D.'s most prominently featured quirk is his habit of daydreaming.[9] When this happens, he tilts his head back and to his left, blankly looking upwards. The sequences played out in his daydreams are of surreal scenarios and situations that have just been mentioned or wondered about, often in an exaggerated manner. Many of these are followed by a comment from him which, although in keeping with his daydream, sounds strange and is often highly unrelated to the initial topic, very often earning him odd looks from nearby characters in the scene.
Despite his numerous mistakes, quirks and personal neurosis, J.D. is shown throughout the series to be a very skilled doctor. He is described as having compassion for his patients, and a lot of determination and enthusiasm for his job.[9]
Family life[edit]
He grew up in Trotwood, Ohio.[10] In a season 1 episode (2001), JD states that 20 years ago he "had a little trouble with his "esses"" because he was five.[11] In season five JD turns 30.[12] His father, Sam (John Ritter), a failed office supply salesman, was absent for most of J.D.'s childhood, and often mooched off his son when he was around;[13] after Sam dies, however, J.D. realizes that his father loved him and was proud of him.[14] His mother is Barbara Turner Dorian. He has an older brother, Dan (Tom Cavanagh), with whom he has a love/hate relationship.
J.D. begins the show as an intern at Sacred Heart Hospital.[15] After a year, he becomes a resident,[16] then an attending physician in internal medicine,[17] and eventually residency director of another hospital.[18]
J.D. begins work at Sacred Heart under Attending Physician Dr. Perry Cox (John C. McGinley), who generally refers to J.D. as "Newbie" or by a variety of girls' names. J.D. thinks of Cox as his mentor, which Cox adamantly denies. As much as he hates to admit it, however, Cox respects J.D. as a doctor and even cares about him as a person, even offering him personal advice on a few occasions. J.D.'s faith in Cox is shaken when the latter has a breakdown following the death of three patients.[19] After a deeply depressed Cox shows up to work drunk, J.D. refuses to see him, claiming that he does not approve of Cox's behavior. However, he later confesses to Cox that he still looks upon him as a hero, and admires him for caring so much about his patients that he takes it hard when things go badly for them. At the end of the episode, Cox thanks J.D. — and, atypically, calls him by his real name — for helping him forgive himself and get on with his life.[20] After Cox is promoted to Chief of Medicine in season 8, he and J.D. are often at odds over hospital matters, mirroring Cox's relationship with the former chief, Dr. Bob Kelso (Ken Jenkins), in earlier seasons. Kelso advises J.D. that he is the one who will have to press for hospital matters if they're important enough, even if it means fighting Cox to do it.[21] On J.D.'s last day Sacred Heart, Cox finally admits that J.D. is an exceptional physician, an exceptional person, and a friend — albeit only when he thinks J.D. isn't around to hear it.[18]
J.D. is also engaged in a constant battle with the Janitor (Neil Flynn) from the very first episode. The Janitor is trying to open a jammed door when J.D. suggests there may be a penny stuck in it. When it turns out that there is a penny stuck in the door, the Janitor vows revenge.[15] Throughout the series, the Janitor is constantly playing tricks and pranks on J.D. In the eighth-season finale, it is revealed that J.D. did accidentally put the penny in the door. The Janitor saw him drop the penny, but because he never admitted it, decided that J.D. had failed a "test of character," thus igniting their feud.[18]
J.D. leaves Sacred Heart for a job at another hospital in order to be closer to his son, Sam.[22]
In season 9, J.D. becomes a visiting professor at Winston University, a medical school built on the old site of Sacred Heart, which has been torn down. He forms a bond with the series' new main character, Lucy Bennett (Kerry Bishé), whom he counsels through the rigors of life as a doctor.[23] After a few months, however, he tells her that he eventually plans to move on, and that she must find a new mentor before he leaves.[24] Finally, he leaves his teaching position and steps back from mentoring Lucy, determined that she must learn to function on her own.[25]
He often spends time with Chris Turk (Donald Faison), his best friend and surrogate brother, whom he first met when they were roommates at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. The pair continue to be roommates even as they progress to become interns and residents.[26] J.D. is often shown to have a codependent relationship with Turk, regularly going through some stages of depression whenever he can't be with him. By their own admission, their relationship is a "bromance."[27] In the first episode, when Turk suggests the two of them seek separate apartments to "branch out," J.D.'s inner monologue tells himself to "Tell him you think that's stupid. Tell him you need him," but they end up roommates again by the episode's end.[15] Their friendship is often depicted as being closer and more loving than a marriage; they sum up their feelings in the song "Guy Love": "It's Guy Love/That's all it is/It's Guy Love/He's mine, I'm his/There's nothing gay about it in our eyes."[28]
On his first day, he also meets Carla Espinosa (Judy Reyes), a nurse who looks out for him and affectionately nicknames him "Bambi."[15] On his last day at Sacred Heart, she reveals that she calls him this because he needed to learn how to walk (meaning to become a doctor).[18]
Romantic history[edit]
He meets and forms a connection with Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke) in the pilot episode and finds himself attracted to her. In seasons 1 to 3, a running joke in the series was that J.D. would sleep with Elliot at least once in each season, although the show's producers have indicated that this ended to prevent the characters' development being constrained by clichés. The two form a romantic relationship in the first season,[29] but their romance quickly falls apart when they realize that they do not work as a couple.[30]
He has had romantic and sexual liaisons with various women besides Elliot, including Dr. Cox's ex-wife Jordan Sullivan (Christa Miller), and Jordan's younger sister Danni Sullivan (Tara Reid). In season five, he meets Dr. Kim Briggs (Elizabeth Banks), the hospital's new urologist, and they are immediately attracted to each other. They go on a date that ends with J.D. getting her pregnant via premature ejaculation.[31] In season 6, they decide to keep the child and try to make a relationship work, but they break up when Kim announces that she had a miscarriage.[32] Soon afterward, however, J.D. discovers that she is still pregnant, having lied about losing the baby to get out of the relationship.[33] He decides to stay with her for the sake of their child.[34] J.D. realizes that he doesn't love her, however, and they break up for good while she is giving birth to their son, Sam Perry Gilligan Dorian.[35]
While J.D. and Elliot had an on-and-off romance throughout the series, it is not until the conclusion of Season 6 that they appear ready to get back together. The episode "My Point of No Return" ends with J.D. and Elliot lying on a bed in the on-call room, leaning in for a kiss. The action remains unresolved until Season 7, when Elliot backs out. They both then say that the almost-kiss had nothing to do with their feelings for each other.[36] In Season 8, they become a couple again after they talk about their history together, and Dr. Kelso advises them to do whatever makes them happy.[37]
During the filming for Season 8, Sarah Chalke said in an interview that she couldn't imagine J.D. and Elliot not being together romantically.[38] In the Season 8 finale, it is suggested through a flash forward in the style of a home movie that J.D and Elliot will marry and have a child.[18]
In Season 9, it is revealed that J.D. and Elliot are in fact married and expecting a child. This is punctuated by an extremely awkward morning ritual in front of Elliot's class where J.D. kisses her stomach for every month she is pregnant and says "and thank you for making mommy's boobs bigger"; Elliot then puts her breasts on his head.[39] In their final appearance together, they go on a "babymoon", a romantic getaway for expecting parents.[40]
Like Elliot, Carla, Cox and the Janitor, the J.D. character makes a cameo appearance in It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, trying to reanimate Miss Piggy. However, Piggy and the Scrubs cast finally break the fourth wall, with the actors portraying themselves.

If you've ever wanted to be part of a record-setting event in
the Guinness Book of World Records, now's your chance. At the Great
Highwood Pumpkin Fest, visitors can add their jack-o-lantern to the
thousands of others for a shot at the record books.
Last year, 26,287 pumpkins were stacked on shelves and lit at
the same time. This year, the fest's third, organizers are hoping
to top that amount and, hopefully, break the record for most
jack-o-lanterns lit at the same time. The current record of 30,128
was set in Boston.
If you want to add your own pumpkin to the record attempt, the
pumpkins can be carved ahead of time and brought to the fest, or
for $3 you can buy a pre-scooped pumpkin to carve at the fest. The
carving knives are kid-friendly and won't break, so parents can let
their kids work away without worry, says Eric Falberg, Highwood
alderman and chairman of special events.
The highlight of the event is when the pumpkins are lit. "It's
probably one of the coolest things you'll ever see," Falberg says.
"It takes a lot of people. We start handing out lighters and people
start lighting."
The lighting takes place at 5:45 p.m. Oct. 22. It takes about 45
minutes to light all the pumpkins.
This year Highwood is in a little friendly competition with the
city of Keene, N.H., which is also trying to break the record on
the same night, Falberg says.
In addition to the pumpkin lighting, the fest also offers
pumpkin races, costume contests, a parade, pumpkin bowling, kids'
activities, live music, hay rides, a haunted house and a farmers
market. The fest usually draws a big crowd, so take public
transportation if you can. The train lets you off directly at the
festival and is the best option, Falberg says.

President elect Vladimir Putin is a man with ideas on how to restore economic and political sanity to Mother Russia–let's all fuck non-stop! He called upon the people of Russia to focus on creating kids so that their homeland would have soldiers and consumers who will bring prosperity to all. "For Russia, every person counts. A strong happy family with several children is what the state, society, religious, educational and cultural organizations should unite their efforts." The problem lies in alcohol, drugs and smoking which are not only killing people but preventing the creation of new people.
I assume that Mr. Putin does not have "several children" to raise. I hate to inform the Russian leader but raising several kids invariably leads to alcohol, smoking and drugs. Has this guy ever cooked for several children? Has he ever made enough money to feed such a family? Sorry, Vladimir, the cost of college is somewhat high these days.

had been shipped to the U.S. with a work around of Apple's patent. While HTC says it has nothing to announce in terms of a release date for the HTC EVO 4G LTE and a date when the HTC One X can ship again to AT&T, the hope is that the work around on the U.S. models are enough to allow both phones to reach their destination.
The AT&T version of the HTC One X has been a strong seller since its launch last week. On the carrier's web site, the phone is listed as being "sold out". The Customs hold-up can only exacerbate the out of balance Supply-Demand picture for the handset.

you can't go wrong with them.
And considering that the authors provides these In show Graphics in After Effect Format, How flexibles these files can be to you ? How do you incorporate them into Live Broadcast ? Do you use them as concepts and then you recreat them in other broadcast solutions ?
I am curious to know because if they can be helpful to you somehow, I will consider them in my futur projects, otherwise there is no need to bother making them.
Thank you.
Great initiative, Purchased. Thanks. Merry Christmas All
I like the current one, and I am not against white, but bright websites it hurts my eyes really bad.
Yeah …. that's why I'm asking, The dual xeon seems good in terms of cores since As i said i will be using different render engines like VRAY/Physical/standard render engines for C4D all can make use of all the cores that i can offer, but in terms of clock rate it's very low … I try to keep things 3 ghz and higher and I couldn't find a dual xeon with higher clockrate.
for the gpu I will be adding another GTX because sometimes i will be using OCTANE render engine for C4D which run on CUDA video cards and i guess GTX is better than the quadro since The GeForce GTX 780 and GTX Titan currently offer the best performance for OCTANE.
but I'm still not sure about the i7 6 cores performance, do you think it will be fast enough for rendering animations ? usually the kind of animation that I work on are 3D broadcast packages and openers etc for TV.
Hello guys
I hope you can help me with this.
I need your advice about choosing a workstation, I was thinking about getting a new machine but I'm really lost, any advice from you or hints would help me greatly.
The software that I use are:
-C4D and Modo for 3D modeling and animation.
-Vue X stream sometimes for 3D landscapes.
-And Adobe Suite
-Vray or Octane Render Engines.
The options that I have are the same price ( about 4000 usd) :
1st option is a Custom 6 cores build with the following specs : i7 k4960×3.6Ghz – 6 cores, 1 gtx 780 3gb, 32 Gb ram, SSD 240gb and SATA 2 tb.
The second option is 12 cores dell precision t5610 with the following specs : Dual Xeon E5-2630 2.6 Ghz v2 ( six cores ), 32GB RAM, 1tb HDD, Nvidia Quadro K4000.
Thank you.
seems okey, but I still prefer the old one !
+1 I was thinking about it since I started using behance. someday…hopefully !!
SomethingDesign saidCan you send it to me via PM please ?
What can I say about that GR clone with tons of our designs and not for free, FOR SELL!!!. Wait for Envoto to do something!

Best Of :: La Vida
What's a party without a piata? Boring, we say. And what better way to acquire your piata than with a one-stop party shop at Dulceria Pico Rico? This well-lighted, expansive shop on 16th Street, in the heart of what we've come to call Little Mexico, has a wide array of piatas, in all the probably-not-sanctioned characters of the day from the princesses to the Power Rangers and everything in between. We're hoping for a Shrek piata on our own birthday, along with a color-coordinated fete you can find all the purple and green tissue paper, tablecloths, plates and napkins you can imagine. And don't worry about making an extra stop for candy. Dulceria Pico Rico stocks enormous bags of mixed candy. Exciting!
We love the art that celebrates Das de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead the enormous papier-mch skeletons, the smaller scenes that depict the dead doing everything from writing at the typewriter to performing surgery in the operating room. But damn, sometimes that art can be expensive! So when we want a quick, sweet (but warning not edible) Day of the Dead fix, we head to the Willow House, where we can find a beautiful (in its way) sugar skull, made deep in Mexico and decorated with the traditional brightly colored sugar frosting and shiny tinfoil, for $4. On a recent trip to Willow, we also found a lovely cardboard Jesus air freshener to hang in the car.
The members of the Border Film Project Rudy Adler, Victoria Criado and Brett Huneycutt were smart enough to hand thousands of disposable cameras to immigrants and Minutemen. Some of them were smart enough to send them back, and SMoCA was smart enough to incorporate the results into a full-blown exhibition. We commend them all for creating a much more realistic glimpse of the border than most of us will ever get.
In the Southwest, "authentic" Mexican furniture isn't hard to find. Even big-box stores have hacienda collections these days. But that little "hecho en Mexico" sticker doesn't always mean much when it comes to quality. Authentic (not "authentic") handmade furniture and imports are much harder to come by. Fortunately, Bellas Artes de Mexico lives up to its name, making it our pick for best Mexican imports store. Walking into this family-owned furniture shop feels a bit like walking into the home of a 16th-century conquistador. The place is filled with beautifully hand-carved tables, doors and wardrobes with details so intricate it feels like they must open up to reveal some south-of-the-border Narnia. Bellas Artes is owned by Cristina and Felipe Guzman, who import furniture from their family's well-known furniture shop in Guadalajara, Mexico. The family's woodworking ability is clearly the star of the show the mesquite tables are breathtaking, and one of our favorite pieces was a Last Supper scene carved from one giant piece of pine but the store is also good for hand-painted ceramic dishes, traditional tin mirrors, and random, brightly painted knickknacks.
You don't have to go south of the border to find great Mexican pottery at least not south of the U.S. border. Just south of Arizona Mills mall is a cozy little brick storefront overflowing with clay pots and colorful planters painted in shades of burnt orange and turquoise. Inside, shelves are brimming with imported goods from Mexico and Latin America. There are ceramic lizards to crawl down your garden walls and a selection of handmade pots that dwarfs those of the gardening departments at Home Depot and Lowe's. There's a bit of a language barrier for non-Spanish speakers, but there are usually a few young translators around to help bridge the gap. Besides, the only question you'll really need to ask is Cunto cuesta? (How much?), because once you find a Mata Ortiz pot for less than its manufactured equivalent, you won't even dream of going somewhere else for Mexican home decor.
From roughhewn pine benches to massive armoires covered in wrought-iron spikes that look more like torture devices than entertainment centers, this North Valley warehouse has everything to make su casa exude rustic charm. La Casona specializes in high-end custom rustic furniture, which is hard to find even in most so-called authentic Mexican stores. A custom dining table with mesquite legs and padded leather chairs can set you back $10K, but we think it's worth it for an heirloom piece tailor-made for your space. Don't worry if that's more than you paid for your car, you can still find something that won't break the bank. The affordable stretched leather equipal tables, along with colorful Talavera pottery, tin mirrors and hand-painted folk art, will make your home feel like a permanent fiesta.

5 Easy Ways To Improve Your Search RankingsGuest_Blogger | May 08, 2009
Search engine optimization continues to be one of the most crucial methods of generating direct traffic and increasing your websites monetization. However, SEO isn't something you can just pick up and master overnight — it's probably best to leave it up to the search engine pros. However, there are quick and easy ways to improve your search ranking from dead last to back in the pack. Alex McArthur, Vice President of Search Strategies at OrangeSoda, outlines five tried and true ways of pulling in more Web traffic.
Getting your website listed in Google, Yahoo and MSN isn't a mystical process that should be left to the geeks, techies or the pimple-faced kid down the street. For most small business owners, getting ranked simply comes down to ensuring you've done the basics. While this isn't intended to be the end all, be all of Search Engine Optimization, we find that you'll get the biggest bang for your buck with the following 5 things:
1. Make sure your 'Title' tags are related to the content of the site. Huh, title tag? What's that? Well in a nutshell, your title tag is a line of HTML code that specifies the title of an individual webpage. If you look in the upper left hand corner of your browser and in the first line of an individual search result, you'll see the product of a title tag. Specifically, a title tag in HTML looks like this:
<title> San Jose Plumbing | Clean Plumbers, Inc </title>
Most search experts agree that having correct title tags is one of the top three factors that determine where a search engine will rank you. Where many people fail with their title tags is they use the same text for every page on their and they fail to properly describe the page with their title tags. Imagine going to a book store and picking a book up off the shelf with the title "True Spy Stories of the Cold War". However, to your surprise, inside the book is a steamy romance. You, the reader, would want your money back. So spend a minute and look at the title tags of every page on your site and see if you have accurately described the page with your title tags. A good title tag will include the keyword you are trying to rank that page for, and don't forget to add your company's name as I've done in the example above. Be aware — brevity is a virtue; Google and the rest will truncate your title tags after 65 characters including spaces.
2. Your
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="Describe your site with Keyword Rich Text Here.">
As I indicated in the example above, you should write a couple sentences that describe your site and/or your page. In your meta description, you get a bit more room to talk but you should use no more than 200 characters. Just like with your title tags, every page should have a unique meta description.
3. URL and File Names Matter. Now what looks better?
a) http://www.yourwebsite.com/catalog/index.ognc?CategoryID=7497
b) http://www.yourwebsite.com/myproduct
You might have noticed I keep talking about keywords. Your URLs and page names matter for the purposes of generating a click to your site as well as improved search rankings. Several studies, such as a MarketingSherpa's 2008 Search Marketing Benchmark Guide, clearly demonstrate that short, descriptive URLs like example B increase the propensity of a searcher to click on your search result. Google search engineer Matt Cutts also says that having short, descriptive URLs is a factor in better rankings. Specifically, this means having a URL that has no more than 5 words after the .com/url extension. One of the best places to look for an example besides what I've put above is at Amazon.com. Do a search from their homepage for anything and you will see a solidly formed URL.
4. Let People Know About Your Site. Many business owners miss the opportunity to brag about their online home, especially after they've spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars to have a site created. Google is the ultimate democracy and works by looking at the number of people who link to you. While there are some caveats to this, you can prime the pump a bit. If I were a business owner, I'd take a couple minutes to create profiles on social networking sites, such as LinkedIn, Facebook,
5. Check the Text of Your Site. One of the things OrangeSoda runs into frequently is websites with relatively little text, content that says nothing about the business and/or fails to use keywords related to the business. When the search engines visit your site, they download a page and look at the text trying to make a determination of what the website as a whole is about and where it belongs. If you are trying to get ranked for "San Jose Plumber", you should have at least a page with that keyword in it a couple times. It's also important that the copy appear natural and be understandable because after all, a website that captures the interest of the search engines but fails to capture the interest of your customers can hardly be justifiable.
These five methods are a great start for getting your website on the search engine map, but people, this is just the beginning. Since the SEO game is constantly evolving (some go so far as to call it an arms race), it can be difficult to stay on top. Hire a Search Engine Optimization expert, and you'll be pulling in new traffic while smoking the competition now and in the future.

Alex, your list is a nice start for those new to SEO. I'm finding that Google Maps/Local Business Center is immensely important in placing new URLs in local rankings. They will appear in local results well before they gain importance for keywords in the main index.

I find SEO very confusing and feel I am always bombarded with different strategies and ways of improving my web ranking. I've tried blogs, ezines, backlinks but somehow, I'm still lost in the wilderness that is Google! Is there a cut and dry, fully tested no-nonsense, straight to the point methodology in achieving better ranking with the search engines. If there is, please let me know. J Khanna aka Mary Jameson

Gotta say, Alex is right. I've done almost all of the above, and have great ranking in google. when searching for face painting nj. I found the best way to figure out the best key words for your title page is to set up a google adwords account, enter in a bunch of different keywords, and then wait a month or 2 and you'll be able to see what specific keywords people search for the most.

I work for a Jewellery shop in London called Official Watches and I must say, I found the tips here very interesting and very useful indeed. I went through every page and improved all the titles and meta descriptions as mentioned in the blog and ensured that keywords like watches, new watches, used watches etc. were featured in these tags and in the content of the site. Thanks very much for the advice.

I loved the article, Alex. However, do you really think that if somebody just follows these steps without digging deeper into SEO or hiring someone to do it for you, they will actually succeed in even indexing their site?

Great read. While just starting out in SEO, I've added Titles, meta tags, description, & use tags have so far gotten good ratings in Google. Of course, we've created a unique product so that might have helped. -David,

I would definitley recommend to any of my friends who enjoy the hobby of creating pages/cards as myself. I always look for different products to purchase and use on my cards espeically when making birthday cards for my 7 grandsons. Numbers are a huge item on my creativity. Hopefully in the near future there will be other colors besides red.

What could be more tempting way to heat up our palate and tummy in a cold evening like this? My wife made a great potato filled with cheese and loads of veggies and baked them.
It was still steaming with the heat as it was fresh from the oven.
so hot that the my lens got blurred by the moisture...and mist that emanated from the heat.
and...served with chilly sauce, mayonnaise, and a spoonful of tomato ketchup..
hmmm a great dinner.
Dinner? well, sort of.

While all the machines in the NICU may seem overwhelming, they don't have to prevent you from interacting with your baby. Bonding with a baby in the NICU is just as important as bonding with any newborn and sometimes even more so as human interaction and touch can help stimulate growth and development in premature infants.
Depending on how sick your child is, you may be able to hold your little one even if she is on a ventilator or has an IV. If the doctors feel that would be too much for your baby, you can still hold her hand, stroke her head and talk and sing to her. A gentle, consistent touch will be the most reassuring.
However, for some very premature infants, touching or stroking may be extremely stressful (if they were still in the womb, they would have little tactile stimulation). In these cases, doctors may suggest that you minimize physical contact but still spend as much time as possible with your baby. Talk to your doctor or nurses to determine how much and what type of contact is best.
If you can hold your baby, you may be able to breastfeed or pump your milk and bottle-feed.
Kangaroo care (or skin-to-skin contact) is another option to help you forge a bond with your new baby. Research suggests that skin-to-skin contact can improve babies' recovery time and help them leave the NICU sooner. Kangaroo care involves holding your baby to your chest so your little one is resting directly on your skin. Loosely close your shirt over your baby to help keep him or her warm.
The best way for parents to help their babies in the NICU is to be there for them and learn to read their behaviors. Although you will probably want to interact with your baby whenever possible, it is also important to allow for periods of undisturbed sleep. If you let your baby set the pace for your time together, you'll both get more out of your time together. By observing your baby's behaviors, you will be able to determine:

Ben-Gamla School: An Inside Look
Winter 2010
Linda Schaffzin shares observations following a visit to the first Hebrew charter school, the Ben-Gamla School in Broward County, Florida, which opened in 2007. She includes background information on charter schools generally, and compares the Ben-Gamla model to Jewish (parochial) day schools. Day schools and charter are clearly two different products, she finds; families must decide which one is most appropriate for their educational values and goals.

BROCKPORT, N.Y. – Nationally fourth-ranked Cortland's starting attack scored 9-of-15 goals and the Red Dragons opened SUNYAC play with a convincing 15-3 win at The College at Brockport Saturday afternoon. The Red Dragons improved to 6-2 overall and 1-0 in the conference with the victory. The Golden Eagles fell to 6-2 and 0-1.
Junior Jay DiStefano (Huntington/Harborfields) led the Cortland offense with four goals and an assist. Senior Brian Krol (Niskayuna) scored three goals to become the 41st player in Cortland history to surpass 100 career points (81 goals, 20 assists). Sophomore Greg Wright (Irondequoit) contributed two goals and two assists and sophomore Mike Tota (Webster/Webster Schroeder) had two goals and an assist. Junior Chris DeLuca (Sayville) won 11-of-13 faceoffs and added a goal and two assists. Senior Chris Dutkowsky (Vestal) registered a goal and an assist and senior Tom Burke (Massapequa) chipped in with a goal and an assist and a game-high six ground balls. Freshman goalie Mike Kaminski (Sayville) did not make a save in the first half of play before giving way to freshman Bobby Whitmarsh (Smithtown/Smithtown East), who stopped two shots in the second half.
Junior Mike Tammaro (Painted Post/Corning West) scored twice for Brockport, junior Andy Hilton (Rochester/Gates-Chili) netted a goal and freshman Jesse Elliott (Clifton Park/Shenendehowa) added two assists. The Golden Eagles played three goalies with junior Kyle Crosley (Clinton/Homer) starting the game and making 12 saves in the first half. Freshman Jason Baetzhold (Rochester/Gates-Chili) stopped four shots in 15 minutes of play and freshman Cory Banwaree (Port Jefferson Station/Comsewogue) did not make a save in 15 minutes of action.
Cortand jumped on the Golden Eagles quickly, taking a 3-0 lead on a goal from Krol and two from DiStefano four minutes into the game. The Red Dragons then took control of the contest with a three-goal burst in a 74-second span late in the first quarter to grab a 6-0 lead. Tammaro briefly halted Cortland's momentum with 25 seconds remaining in the stanza, but Cortland still maintained a 6-1 lead.
The Red Dragons put the game out of reach with all six goals in the second quarter, again starting quickly with goals from Tota and DiStefano just 18 and 24 seconds into the quarter, respectively. Cortland finished off the first half with four goals in the last five minutes and held a commanding, 12-2, lead at the break.
In the third quarter, Tammaro and Hilton tallied back-to-back man-up goals at 6:52 and 3:40 to make it a 12-3 game, but DiStefano scored his fourth of the game with five seconds remaining in the quarter and Krol and junior Sam Dutkowsky (Vestal) netted the final two goals of the game in the fourth quarter for the 15-3 final.

Book Talk: Aunties and men face off in Japan
By Elaine Lies
TOKYO (Reuters Life!) - The high point of life for a group of aimless Japanese men in their 20s is singing pop songs, eating beef jerky and watching a female neighbor undress -- until one, for no reason, kills a middle-aged woman.
The woman's death galvanizes her group of friends --divorced, fiercely independent "obasans," or aunties, in their late 30s -- who plot revenge against the men, violence that escalates hilariously as the two groups pick each other off.
"Popular Hits of the Showa Era," a satire, is one of a handful of books by prolific and prize-winning author Ryu Murakami to be translated into English. He has also written "Coin Locker Babies" and "Almost Transparent Blue."
Murakami, who has played in rock bands and dabbled in film-making, talked to Reuters about his book and about writing.
Q: What inspired you to write this book?
A: "It was the start of the 1990s. The whole idea of personal computers and communication via them was just getting started, though of course there wasn't really an Internet yet, and there were lots of people just sitting around at computers. People were just thinking of themselves. It was a very peaceful society but there was a sense of something dangerous in it.
"I wanted to write about how all you needed was one incident to invite a lot of violence, but I wanted to make it funny because otherwise nobody would read it."
Q: What did you intend with this book? Continued...

I am familiar w/ this particular disease from working @ an animal hospital, where our veterinarians fielded numerous questions about it. While the disease was never detected there, it did cause a fair amount of worry amongst local dog owners. Interesting that it is rearing it's head again now, we dealt w/ it mostly 2 or so years ago, w/ little news about it since. Anyone concerned about their dog showing possible symptoms should first remain calm, 2nd contact their veterinarian, & third limit contact between their pet & other dogs.
