Inventory Traker for Manufacturing & Distribution is a great fit for many businesses. Find out if it's the right choice for you! Are you looking for a Inventory Traker for Manufacturing & Distribution demo, technical support, product or pricing information or to simply to compare Inventory Traker for Manufacturing & Distribution with competitive options? Quickly get answers and the information you need.
Traker Systems' barcode scanning software provides the option of bar coding and scanning for all of our products. Below are three primary scanners we currently utilize in the batch environment.
Barcode tracking software provides enormous benefits for just about any business. With a bar code data collection solution, capturing data is faster and more accurate, costs are lower, mistakes are minimized, and managing inventory is much easier. The following are some of the benefits of bar code data entry.
Labor Costs This is the most obvious benefit of bar code data collection. In many cases, this cost savings pays for the entire data collection system. Don't put all of your attention on this benefit, however. Even though this is the most apparent benefit of barcode scanning software, it is often overshadowed by even greater savings from other areas.
Revenue Losses Barcode tracking software helps to minimize data collection errors; this benefit often surpasses the saving of labor costs. You know that if you make a significant error on an invoice in the customer's favor, you will never hear about it again. However, if the error is in your favor, you will hear about it immediately. In most companies, it doesn't take many errors to amount to a great deal of lost revenue.
Better Decision Making With barcoding software you may tell not only what the customers are buying, but when they are buying it and in what combinations. This may improve business management by suggesting better locations for goods in the store and identifying advertising targets.
Faster Access to Information This benefit goes hand in hand with better decision making. With better information, you may gain opportunities and get the jump on competition.
Examples of How Bar Codes are Used The following are just a few of the many ways bar codes are being used to improve the profitability and efficiency of a variety of company types.
Cost Savings This is the most obvious benefit. A medium to large store may save enough checker time to significantly reduce payroll. You also save direct labor costs through less time spent taking inventories and ordering product.
Customer Satisfaction A proper bar code system will speed customer checkout. This will improve customer satisfaction enough to directly increase revenue over time.
Reduced Inventory Costs Immediate access to inventory information on a real-time basis may be used to reduce inventory levels. This will reduce costs for a company in a number of ways, including interest, labor for handling excess inventory, and facility overhead.
The data Data from portable scanners may be uploaded to a central computer system at regular intervals or portables may update inventory in real-time, depending on the system you choose. Barcode tracking and inventory control provides accurate, real-time inventory updates. This allows a company the opportunity to reduce stock levels and thereby reduce carrying costs. It also reduces the time taken to collect data for purposes such as annual inventories. With improved efficiency, operating costs are lower.
Packaging For packaging, a bar code printer is used to generate a label to identify part numbers, serial numbers, and shipping information. This labeling may be used to automatically sort packages for shipment, automate receiving, and greatly enhance package tracking.
These are just a few examples to get you started thinking about what you may do with bar codes. Barcode scanning software routinely save companies money while improving quality, on-time performance, and other key business factors
"Barcode Tracking" is part of the Inventory Traker for Manufacturing & Distribution line of products, developed by Traker Systems.

BUTLER (AP) — A Pennsylvania judge has rejected a request from a New Jersey man to withdraw his plea in the 2011 killing of his parents.
Judge William Shaffer ruled Friday against Colin Abbott, 42, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
In February Shaffer sentenced Abbott to between 35 and 80 years in prison after his no contest plea to charges that he murdered his father and stepmother at their western Pennsylvania home, and then tried to cover it up by telling relatives they had died in a fiery car crash.
Authorities contend Abbott burned the bodies of Kenneth and Celeste Abbott, then scattered their remains about 50 miles north of Pittsburgh.
Abbott, of Randolph, N.J., claimed in the appeal that his attorney and court officials pressured him into the deal.

April 15, 2013
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.--The UAB softball team is set to round out a six-game road swing with a trip to Troy on Tuesday. First pitch is set for 5 p.m. CT at the Troy Softball Complex.
UAB Tops Troy 1-0
Senior Catherine Crawford stole home in the bottom of the sixth inning to give the UAB softball team the one run it needed to top the Troy Trojans in a pitcher's duel on Tuesday at the UAB Softball Field.
Last Time Out
The Blazers won their Conference USA series over the weekend, taking two games from No. 17 Tulsa. Both teams were 11-1 in league going into the weekend before UAB took the second game of the doubleheader, 9-7, and the series finale, 1-0.
After dropping game one, 4-1, UAB struck first in the second game as sophomore second baseman Heather Pearson hit a home run in the top of the first inning. The Golden Hurricane took the lead with a two-run homer in the bottom of the second, while UAB followed with three runs in the top of the third, two scored on a double by senior third baseman Kate Armstrong and one scored as senior pinch runner Hailey Glynn ran home on an error by the Tulsa catcher to put UAB up, 4-2.
Tulsa tied the game at four runs apiece in the bottom of the fourth before retaking the lead at 7-4 on a three-RBI home run by Kernen in the bottom of the fifth.
In the top of the sixth inning, sophomore left fielder Amy Dennis hit a solo home run to left with one out to cut the lead to 7-5. With two down, Pearson reached on a single to center field, and was batted to third on a double by senior center fielder Whitney Fletcher. Armstrong then came up to bat and hit her second double of the game to tie the score at seven runs apiece before junior designated hitter Kristen McGrath hit the third consecutive double of the inning to score one and give UAB an 8-7 lead.
UAB went on to score one more run in the top of the seventh, while senior pitcher Lauren Webstershut down Tulsa in order in the sixth and seventh innings of the 9-7 victory.
The Blazers went on to win, 1-0, on Sunday and clinch both the series and first place in the C-USA standings, as K. McGrath hit a solo home run in the top of the sixth inning. In the circle, Webster picked up the win as she threw five innings and allowed only two hits, while junior Lannah Campbell got the save as she struck out three, and got UAB out of a two-on, two-out jam in the bottom of the seventh.
Scouting Troy
The Trojans are 19-23 on the season and have won one of their last five contests. Last time out, Troy dropped a Sun Belt Conference series at FIU, 2-1. The Trojans lost the doubleheader, 6-5 and 3-0, before taking a 5-4 win in the finale.
Senior Caitlin Ortiz leads the team with a .356 batting average, while senior Hannah Renn has hit nine home runs on the year and has a slugging percentage of .613. In the circle, senior Michaela Hamilton leads the pitching staff with a 3.62 ERA and a record of 5-4. Freshman Rachel Rigney (8-12, 4.25 ERA) leads the pitchers with 118.2 innings in the circle and 57 strikeouts.
Last Meeting
UAB trails Troy in the all-time series, 12-9, but has won its last two meetings with the Trojans. A season ago, UAB won, 1-0, at home as former left fielder Catherine Crawford stole home in the bottom of the sixth frame.
RPI Update
In the most recent RPI poll, released on April 8, UAB is ranked at No. 32, its highest ranking in program history. The previous best was No. 33, which the 2012 squad reached on April 16.
The Blazers are ranked second highest in Conference USA, with Tulsa leading the league at No. 21.
On the season, UAB has picked up four wins over three teams in the RPI top-30, No. 7 Washington (Feb. 7), No. 29 Mississippi State (March 26) and No. 21 Tulsa (April 13-14).
Blazers In The National Polls
UAB has received votes in the ESPN.com/USA Softball Top-25 for the second-consecutive week. In the poll released on April 2, the Blazers picked up one vote, while the poll released on April 9 lists the squad with five votes.
Winning At Home
UAB is currently 10-2 on the year in games played at the UAB Softball Field, and has won eight straight, dating back to the 7-4 win over East Carolina on March 17. The longest home win streak in program history is 10 games, set in 2002.
Scoring First, Scoring Often
On the season, UAB is 10-0 in games where it scores in the first inning. The Blazers are 23-2 on the year when they score first, and are 21-0 when leading after the sixth inning.
Down To The Last Out
The Blazers have scored runs with two outs 58 times this season (39.2 percent), and Whitney Fletcher leads the team as she has driven in two-out runs 14 times.
Of the last 72 runs scored by UAB--dating back to the doubleheader at Alabama State on March 19--the Blazers have crossed home plate with two outs on the board 33 times, and 10 of those situations were batted in by Fletcher.
Fletcher recorded seven two-out scores during UAB's sweep of Memphis on March 23, including three in the Blazers' comeback during the top of the seventh inning of game two, where UAB won, 6-4.
Each of the nine runs scored by the Blazers in the three-game series with Southern Miss (March 29-30) occurred with two outs on the board, including a three-RBI home run by Anna Kimbrell.
During the Tulsa series, Kate Armstrong hit a two-RBI double with two outs in the second game (April 13), while Kristen McGrath followed with a double of her own to score one run. In the series finale (April 14), McGrath hit a two-out home run in the 1-0 win.
No Base Is Safe
Caitlin Attfield leads the team in stolen bases with 18 successes in 22 tries, which already puts her in the UAB top-10 all-time list for steals in a season.
With her 18th stolen base occurring during the series with Southern Miss, Attfield now sits in a tie for 10th place in career steals with former Blazer Holly Krzan (2004-08). Lindsay Stanley (2004-07) owns the school record in career-stolen bases with 100.
Martina Landrum set the record for stolen bases in one season in 2009, when she had 38.
As a team, the Blazers have successfully stolen base 40 times in 36 games, while UAB stole 35 all of last season.
Record Watch
With five triples on the season, Whitney Fletcher is tied the single-season record for triples with Martina Landrum, who originally set the school record in 2010.
Fletcher's seven career triples places her in a tie for fourth place in the all-time books with Landrum (2008-10) and Cliffanie Engram (2000-03). Catherine Crawford (2009-12) owns the record with 12.
Kristen McGrath is nearing Mandy Lowman's (2009-12) school record for career home runs. Lowman hit 32 in four years, while McGrath has racked up eight so far this season for a total of 27, and currently sits in second place in the record books.
McGrath has also entered the UAB top-10 all-time list in career RBI with 27 this season for a career total of 86, good for seventh place. She is five RBI away from Beth Mullins' (2001-04) sixth-place mark of 91. Lowman's 126 RBI is UAB's top mark.
Bats on Fire
In the last 10 games, UAB has recorded 31 runs on 57 hits and 29 RBI with seven home runs. Also, through this stretch, the Blazers have posted shutouts of five opponents.
Individually, Heather Pearson and Whitney Fletcher have posted the top two batting averages at .385 and .333, respectively.
Pearson has seven run on 10 hits, including a double and a home run, while Fletcher has five runs on eight hits, two doubles, a triple, a home run and a team-leading six RBI.
Going Yard
UAB has hit 31 home runs on the year, which is second most in the conference behind Marshall's 36.
Anna Kimbrell and Kristen McGrath ead the team with eight home runs apiece, and McGrath sits in a five-way tie for fourth place in the league in home runs hit during conference play with four.
We Love Free Bases
Anna Kimbrell has reached base 19 times this season by way of being hit by pitch to average 0.53 times per game. The mark is second most in the conference, and as of April 8, Kimbrell is fourth in the nation in HBP per game.
UAB's single-season record for hit by pitches is 21, set by Amanada Allen in 2008, placing Kimbrell's 19 in second. Through her career, Kimbrell has been hit 21 times, fourth most in UAB history. Andrea Rogers (2006-09) and Amanada Allen (2008-09) each have been hit 31 times in their respective careers.
Outfielder Chandler Orr has been hit by pitch eight times this season, fourth most in the league.
As a team, the Blazers have been hit 44 times for the second most in conference.
Success in the Circle
The UAB pitching staff has posted the second best ERA in the conference with a mark of 2.18. The Blazers have held their opponents to a conference-best .193 batting average, and have allowed the fewest hits at 171.
The pitching staff has also allowed the fewest earned runs in the conference with 76, and have only walked 84 batters--also a top mark in C-USA.
In conference action, UAB's ERA is second lowest at 1.97. The Blazers' pitchers have held the opposing batting average to a league-best .183, while Campbell's own mark of .168 is also top in C-USA.
Streetman's opposing batting average is third best at 1.82, while Lauren Webster owns the second-lowest ERA in league action at 1.45.
Getting The Save
Pitcher Lannah Campbellleads the Blazers with five saves on the season. Most recently, she was credited with the save as she threw the final two innings of UAB's 1-0 win over Tulsa on April 14.
The single-season record for saves is seven, set by Leigh Streetman in 2011.
UAB's pitching staff now holds the top-three spots in career saves, starting with Leigh Streetman's 12. Streetman picked up her first save this year when she pitched 2.1 innings in UAB's 2-0 win over UCF on March 9. Her second save of the season came in the series finale with Southern Miss on March 30, when she threw 3.0 innings and allowed no hits in the 2-0 win.
Webster, who picked up her sixth career save as UAB came back to beat Memphis, 7-5, on March 23, sits alone in second place with seven, while Campbell's six career saves puts her in third place.
Reaching 400
Head coach Marla Townsend reached 400 career wins on Friday, March 29, as UAB topped Southern Miss in a 1-0 shutout where pitcher Leigh Streetman threw her second no-hitter of the season.
Up Next
This weekend, UAB returns to the UAB Softball Field to host UTEP in a three-game series on Saturday and Sunday. First pitch for the doubleheader is set for 1 p.m. CT, while Sunday's finale is set for a Noon CT start.

I am a 45 year old female. I had the pearl laser 4 days ago (note: I had a late appt. so when I drove home it was dark & nobody saw my red face w/the Aquaphor).
The pain of the procedure wasn't too bad due to the numbing cream applied 45 minutes prior to the procedure. The only real sensitive area was around my upper lip - I felt a stinging sensation around that area.
Once I got home I prepared the vinegar solution (2 cups of water w/one teaspoon of white vinegar) which I have been using with clean face clothes (washed w/out detergent & fabric softener) 4-8 times daily to speed the recovery.
The "grid" pattern on my face which developed after the 2nd day is still around but not as bad. My face is feeling pretty tight but that is normal. I should start "sloughing" off my dead skin in the next day or so. I have not been outside since my procedure. I don't like using Aquaphor since it is a petroleum based product but that product was recommended (there is another product called Egyptian Magic that is like Aquaphor but w/out being petroleum based but this office did not recommend it).
Currently I cannot say whether this procedure has been worth it but I have high hopes. I did this procedure to help w/brown spots and to lessen some fine lines around my eyes.

Each and every email
November 15th, 2007 | Published in Google Code
With hundreds (if not thousands) of popular email clients and mail servers out there, importing email into another service can be challenge, especially when you consider the troves of old email most people save. To ease this pain, we created the Google Apps Email Migration API.
This new API is available in Google Apps Premier, Partner, and Education Editions, and you can use it to migrate your existing email from anywhere into Google Apps. Let's say, for example, you want to import email from your Obscurix Email Server v2.0001715. Just write some parsing code and use our simple API to upload that email into the desired mailbox. For convenience, you can authenticate to the API not only as the end user of the destination mailbox, but also as a Google Apps administrator, and target any mailbox in the domain. This API uses the Google data API protocol, which means there are a host of client libraries to make importing even easier.
LimitNone (one of our Enterprise Professional partners) has already built a migration utility that works with calendars, email and contacts.
For more info, check out the Google Enterprise Blog, or just dive right into the developer's guide. And please, let us know what you think!

Pipedreamers Antiques & Collectibles
Dennis & Sharon Fisher, West Suffield, CT
Here is something that only comes around once in a great while. An early 1900s "invitation to circumcision" postcard with the image of a very unhappy crying infant (for good reason, I think). This rare postcard has a section on the right that says "because I am a son it's got to be done---says ma" and below that "so I send this request, to please be our guest---of pa" This fantastic collectors item was manufactured by Hubin's Big Postcard Store, Atlantic City New Jersey. The invitation has a space to put the name and date and has imprinted 190--, which dates it from 1901-1909, and it is certainly a Jewish "Bris" invitation, since there are hebrew words on a tag around the baby's foot. The card is postally unused and has no writing, and is in excellent condition with only light staining/discoloration and some very minor corner fraying.

middle of the run box broken
I am fixing up a room in my house and decided to replace the outlets in the room, and the lighting fixture.
I am having an issue with one outlet, that appears to be a middle of the run outlet, with two sets of wires coming into the junction box.
I am an idiot, and didn't take note of how things were originally connected.
I hooked things black/black on my brass screws and white/white on my silver screws. When I flipped the breaker back on, it immediately broke.
I turned it off, disconnected the outlet with two sets of wires coming in, turned the power back on and measured the voltages across the different wires and this is what i found.
I have 4 wires
1White, 1Black
2White, 2Black
1W -> 2W = 0 volts
1W -> 1B = 120 volts
1W -> 2B = 0 volts
2W -> 1B=120 volts
2W -> 2B = 0 volts
1B -> 2B = 120 volts
Any ideas how to trouble shoot this?
It looks like wire 1 is my supply side, and wire 2 is my send to the rest of the load side. Any idea why wire 1 black to wire 2 black is showing 120 volts? Everything worked fine before i swapped outlets.
My first thought was that the original outlet was half switched, but that wouldn't make sense to have 120 volts across 2 black wires. If it was being fed power from two separate circuits, the 2 black wires should show 240volts in that case, not the 120. So my next guess would be that somewhere down the line, that 2B wire is being shorted to ground or is reverse wired somehow and is acting as a ground/neutral wire in this circuit.
hmmm. how would you recommend figuring out where the short is? Visually? Should i connect the middle outlet in question, and do voltage tests along the line?
Did this original outlet look like a standard duplex outlet? That is, could you plug in a standard appliance to it, or were the prongs of the outlet positioned differently? I would check to see what outlets do not have power with those 4 wires disconnected, if its in the middle of a run there will be something downstream that doesn't have power. Start by opening those boxes and visually looking for shorts; the bare ground wire is usually the culprit in cases like this.
this was an old two prong outlet(no ground), it was a standard two prong. but there was only one outlet in the gang box.
all the wiring is the old metallic shield it looks like this, but is only 2 wires, not three.
I've had an issue in the past where the cloth wiring has deteriorated and part of a wire is touching the gang box, and grounding it's self. I guess i'll keep my eyes peeled for this situation.
I did some more investigating to try and figure out what is going on here.
I believe the following to be true:
there are two pairs of wires in this junction box
one comes is the supply side which comes from my service panel,
and the other feeds a light switch above the outlet(note, the switch doesn't control the outlet, it controls an overhead light). from here the circuit branches to a switch on the other side of the wall, which controls a light for that room, and branches down towards another outlet.
I disconnected the first switch directly above the outlet, and separated the black wire, so in theory there is a black wire that goes from the junction box up to the switch junction box and ends right there. The white wire in theory goes up from the junction box and into the switch panel where it is soldered to all the other white wires.
I measured the voltage from black to black in the junction box where I am having problems and now I get 78 volts instead of 110v.
Can anyone offer any other tips to trouble shoot this issue?
Using a white wire as a reference can sometimes be a problem.
In the past, to have a reliable reference ground, I have run an extension cord from an outlet that is functioning properly!
First check the neutral and hot on the extension cord and make sure that these are correct.
( from slot to slot - 120 volts)
( from ground to small slot -120 volts)
( from ground to large slot - zero ohms)
Once the neutral has been positively identified, connect the voltmeter from the large slot in the extension cord, to the wire to be tested. [on a voltage scale]
When you have determined what seems to be the feeder cable and that no potential is found on the feeder white wire, switch to ohms and verify that it is of ground potential.
Then verify that the box, itself is grounded. If it is fed by a metallic sheathed cable, it should be, but it may not be as old cables can become ungrounded over the course of time. This why cables today are required to have a third grounding wire.
In my own home, it had some old metallic sheathed cable with rubber covered conductors. I found that the rubber exposed to air tended to crumble.
I was able to repair this by spiraling electrical tape over the exposed section, then slipping heat shrink tube over the tape, to make it secure.
Ok. I just did the test you suggested on an extension cord thats connected to a different outlet on a different circuit(that was on) and it passed the test.
it also reads "correct" on one of those little orange guys you plug in that tells if you are wired correctly.
in the junction box in question
if i look at the first black wire
black to good neutral=118v
white to good neutral = 0v, O ohm
other black to good neutral = 0v
other white to good neutral = .264V, 2.65M Ohm ?? is this a concern?
box to neutral shows 0 OHM
The white with the 'foreign' potential goes to the switch box, you believe.
Then two cables leave the switch box. one to the other room and one to the over-head light.
If you open the whites in the switch box, you should be able to ascertain if the 'foreign' condition is coming from the light or the other room. Again, using your extension cord as a reference.
Make sure that everything is unplugged on this circuit and that all lamps are removed, to make sure that you are not reading feed-back through anything.

I don't know if it was junk before, but it's junk now.

No one on PPS Talk can recall any previous documented reports of a Walther PPS going Kaboom before. Despite much initial skepticism over this report, the owner has now provided photos to document that the explosion really did take place.
The gun is in .40 S&W, and quite a bit of different ammo was shot in it last Friday, including ammo made by Winchester, Remington, Federal, and Wolf, before it failed.
The owner is blaming the PPS for the failure, and calling the gun junk. Fortunately, he reports that he suffered no physical injury of any kind from the explosion.
Here are a couple of the photos, which unfortunately are not of very good quality:

If that happened with factory ammo, I'd definitely be giving S&W a call.

I can't imagine wanting a PPS in .40 S&W (well, or any gun in .40 S&W actually), its a tiny gun and much better suited to 9x19mm IMO. This is the kind of thing that is going to happen when manufacturers insist in shoehorning the .40 S&W (which is known for this sort of problem, even with factory ammunition) into guns like the PPS. Assuming its not the fault of the shooter in this case (i.e. bad handloads) then hopefully it will be made right by either S&W or the ammunition manufacturer.

I'd be interested to know a couple of things... First, what kind of load was in the gun at the time? Manufacturer, +p or not? It is stated that there were a bunch of different types of ammo through it... when was the last cleaning? Also, how many shots were taken without rest... could have been a torture test for all we know... from reading the post, it seems that the OP was bashing for the sake of bashing! How do we know that he isn't a GLOCK rep? (j/k)
I'm not changing my mind about wanting to give this pistol and its little brother (9mm) a serious testdrive and add him (them) to my EDC options.
On a good note, it held up pretty good. I still don't like .40 and this is just another reason to add to the pile.

I'd like to see a pic down the barrel to see if he had a squib before the last shot,a plugged barrel could result in the slide blowing out at it's weakest point,the ejection port

i want a loud but clear subwoofer to put in my car. maybe a 10' or 12' not anything bigger. got any ideas?
This is a discussion on looking for a good sub within the Electronics/Car Audio forums, part of the Interior Mods category; i want a loud but clear subwoofer to put in my car. maybe a 10' or 12' not anything bigger. ...

if you dont want to spend 400 bucks on the JLs then the Alpine Type Rs are good
If your looking into the Alpine Type R's I have 2 12" ones that Im selling for a pretty reasonable price (way less than $400) already in a box so let me know if your interested.
Image Dynamics IDQ 12 would be a real nice addition to any vehicle, W7s are great but require at least 750 watts for a 12, need a giant box and are heavier then ****.
Eye am so re todd did.
Loud and clear...well i've heard a rf punch he2 in a rsx hatchback, and it is the opposite of clear. It is just loud.
If you have a sedan, then clarity will be pretty hard to get. I've got this program called WinISD (freeware) that will graph sub dBs when given certain powers, and other specifications. I'll post a link to it later...
anyways...I have an infinity kappa perfect 12d VQ, and it is the loudest of all the subs that i have compared (12w6v2 and lower, polk/momo mm12, rf he2, MB Quart rwe 304) It also has a very good phase regression curve (this is a good thing, meaning sound is more accurate), and has low response delay (another good thing).
This sub ran me 240 for the sub and box (ebay). I woudl reccomend making your own box if you know enough about woodworking to do it (WinISD will give the perfect dimensions for boxes).
the polk/momo sub was the clearest of all the subs that i compared, but it was not as loud as the others. I believe it was the third loudest (behind the MBQuart and Infinity). this sub will run you around 200-250 w/a sealed enclosure
JL Audio makes great stuff, my brother has dual 12w3v2s. JL is way overpriced though, and the infinity is louder and has better response and clarity. My brother has these in his 4runner, which is a SUV...so it woudl seem logical for them to be louder than my sub (in my wrx sedan). My sub, however, is louder in my car than his two subs in his 4runner. The clarity is about the same between the two. Keep in mind my sub is in a sedan, and his is in a SUV.
Infinity takes about 400 rms to power
i'd give more specs now, but i've gotta get to class.
PM me if you want more information (comparisons, specs, etc...)

Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice & Palliative Care of Greater Wayne County, 2525 Back Orrville Road, Wooster 44691.
Jildo was born Jan. 12, 1923, in Ironwood, Mich., to Paul and Clarice (Montemuri) DeFelice and married Rosemarie Longhini on May 17, 1947. She died Feb. 21, 2009.
He earned his bachelor degree from Ferris State University and his masters degree from Northwestern University. He served in the U.S. Army in the 40th Infantry Division from early 1943 to February 1946. He participated in the Solomon Island Campaign from the late stages of the Guadalcanal Island Campaign, New Britain Island Campaign, and the liberation of Luzon, Negros, and Panay Islands of the Philippine Islands Campaign. He was awarded the Silver Star for gallantry in combat during the Luzon Island Philippine Campaign.
Jildo was employed by Inland Steel Products Co. of Milwaukee, Wisc., Pickands Mather & Company of Ironwood, Mich., Rexall Drug Chemical Co., Chemical Division, World Headquarters of Los Angeles, Calif. His last position before retirement in May of 1991, was treasurer for Buehler's Fresh Foods for 19 years.
He was a member of St. Mary Catholic Church, Wooster Elks, American Legion, VFW, and Disabled American Veterans. Jildo was a 40-year member and past president of Wooster Noon Lions Club.

Jildo was a very kind and intelligent man. Buehler's was very fortunate to have him for an employee. He raised a wonderful family & will be missed.
The world has lost a one of a kind gentleman, but heaven has gained a beautiful spirit. Rosemarie waited a long time for her "boyfriend" to join her, and welcomed him with a big smile and open arms. I was so blessed to be Jildo's "adopted daughter" and I loved my PaPa (and MaMa) so much. They were the parents i would have chosen if i could have. What a wonderful family they reared. Jildo and I had so many good conversations, and a more loving, intelligent man would be hard to find.I will always be thankful he chose me to me a special friend, and I will miss him so much. I am thankful that he is at peace, and back with the woman her loved and missed. His face is now beaming with his beautiful smile, and i can hear that delightful laugh he so willingly shared while on earth. I love you Papa.

Overflow crowd turns out for special program
In Greg Mortenson's words, the Lake Oswego Reads program 'exceeded' and 'surpassed' any community program he's been involved with since co-authoring the book, 'Three Cups of Tea.'
In fact, other cities are taking cues from Lake Oswego to form their own citywide reading program around the book, he told an audience at Lake Oswego High School last week.
'What you're doing is inspiring communities across the country,' he said.
Mortenson, executive director of the Montana-based Central Asia Institute, visited LOHS on Feb. 6 with his writing partner, David Oliver Relin, a Portland-based journalist.
All of the tickets for the event, which was part of Lake Oswego Reads, were snatched up in a few hours last month. About 1,315 residents packed the auditorium and adjacent cafeteria to hear the talk.
The event was made possible through a grant from the Oregon Council for the Humanities, a statewide non-profit agency.
A representative from West Coast Bank presented Mortenson with a check for $6,360.63, the amount raised by students in Lake Oswego's nine elementary schools through 'Pennies for Peace.'
Relin spoke first by reading an excerpt of 'Three Cups of Tea' and telling the story of how the book got started. But first, more praise for the city of Lake Oswego.
'Just to see what you've done as a community is remarkable,' he said. 'I've been all over the country with this book and this is the most remarkable reception we've had anywhere.'
Relin was introduced to Mortenson through a magazine editor. The men came out of their first meeting planning the book.
Relin went on to spend three years following Mortenson around Pakistan and Afghanistan to learn the story behind CAI's work.
He came out of the experience with a new perspective.
'I learned that the root cause of terrorism is poverty and ignorance, and Greg's work alleviates ignorance and poverty, school by school, community by community,' Relin said. 'Non-extremist education really does change kids' lives because extremists depend on the vacuum of chaos created by poverty and ignorance.'
Relin went on to say that Americans and Pakistanis want the same things in life.
'Pakistani culture extends around the world,' he said. 'Look at the masses of people at the heart of the Muslim world who want peace and education,' Relin said. 'We should reach out to them directly and we can do profound things.'
He then introduced Mortenson, who began the program by showing a video about 'Pennies for Peace' made by his 11-year-old daughter. Mortenson noted that kids essentially started CAI's work by collecting spare change and donating it to build a school.
He then used a slide show of photos to tell the same story behind 'Three Cups of Tea' - how he grew up in Africa, wanted to scale K2 in memory of his sister, but failed the climb only to find himself in a rural Pakistani town that didn't have a school.
The impoverished people there nursed Mortenson back to health and in return, he promised to come back and build a school. Years later, CAI now educates 25,000 students in schools throughout Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Education in those areas is especially important for young women and girls, Mortenson said. It could help curb population growth, infant mortality rates and create a better society and world.
Mortenson emphasized the African proverb, 'If you educate a boy, you educate an individual. If you educate a girl, you educate a community.'
'As long as girls aren't educated, society won't change,' he said, adding that the Taliban and other terrorist groups rely on the lack of education to maintain control.
'Literacy and education is the single most important investment we can make in the third world,' Mortenson said, adding, 'The stakes could not be higher.'
After a standing ovation, Mortenson and Relin signed copies of 'Three Cups of Tea' for local fans.
Tualatin Valley Community Television will air the presentation many times through February, March, April and May. For a complete schedule and LO Reads event listing, go online to www.ci.oswego.or.us/Library/cal

Interview: 12-19-06
Vernian Process
Photo by: Tristan Crane
Vernian Process is a musician working in the San Francisco Bay area who has been making self-described "steampunk" music for the last three years. In that time he's managed to record 3 LPs, 2 EPs and to create several remixes. He also has two side projects including forsunknown, a dark ambient project inspired by classic horror.
Vernian Process was recently kind enough to answer some questions from Sepiachord.
Sepiachord: You're the first musical artist to call yourself "steampunk". Which came first: your idea do to something called steampunk and then the actual sound or did you have the sound first and thought "To me this sounds like Steampunk"?
Vernian Process: Oh no it was definitley the first choice. I came up with the name Vernian Process about three years before I ever even thought about recording any music. The initial idea was mixing a traditional rock format, with an orchestral backing, however unlike when strings are used in rock music. The acoustic instruments would be playing all of the lead melodies, and such, while the guitars would provide backing textures. All to the theme of the worls of Jules Verne's and his contemporaries. This of course never happened, and I put off the idea for quite a few years. Then while I was at the height of my DJing career, a friend of mine hooked me up with some software, and I started messing around with some ideas.
SC: Steampunk was a literary genre first and then a visual genre. What does Vernian Process have in common with these earlier movements that it deserves the title of steampunk? Would "Scientific Romantic" better sum up what Vernian Process sounds like?
VP: Steampunk is just a catch all term, that is easier to sell than "Scientific Romance". Which is why it is used now to describe everything from 40's Pulp adventures like Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, to more traditional Victorian adventures. I really prefer to call my music "Cinematic Darkwave" that is inspired by Steampunk. Initially all of my songs were to be in reference to Jules Verne, but eventually I decided to just keep the Vernian themes as a constant, but not to always make every piece based around Vernes literature. I have some ideas for new material that will stray farther from my Gothic/Darkwave roots. Such as a 60's Jamaican Ska inspired piece (I love that style of music as well), and a few songs that will be more light hearted than brooding. Of course the project is primarily based in Darkwave/Post-Punk/Trip-Hop roots, and will always be centered around those styles.
SC: Does the "punk" part of steampunk confuse people? Do you ever have listeners who expect an uglier, more aggressive sound?
VP: Not really. Usually the people that refer to my work as Steampunk, already know the proper definition of it. The random people that hear it, generally just say it sounds very unique, and they are not quite sure what to classify it as. Ironically before I had the idea for VP, and before I even had the idea for the above mention ed rock band. I thought it would be really cool to start a style of music calld "ChamberPunk" Basically playing Punk/Deathrock styled music with instruments like Harpsichords, Organs, Brass and various stringed instruments.
SC: Your sound right now is primarily synth/electronic, can you envision yourself making music that is created by nothing but period victorian sounds?
VP: That would be really cool. But quite impractical. Considering I am pretty much broke 24/7, and I don't see this project ever getting a large enough following to warrant the financial backing required to do something like that. I really try hard to treat all of my synths so that they sound as realistic as possible. I really dislike synth strings (unless they are being used for a particular sound), and all of the string samples I use were recorded from real orchestras.
SC: What books or movies fire your artistic engines? If you could do a soundtrack for any book, movie, comic, or game what would you love to try your hand at?
VP: Well I won't list any particular books, but the worlds of Verne (obviously), Wells, and Lovecraft are my primary literary influences. Films that inspired this project range from all of the Steampunk cinema, to less obvious things like Spaghetti Westerns, Film Noir, Science Fiction-Horror, Kurosawa, Studio Ghibli, and many video game series (primarily Final Fantasy, and Eternal Arcadia).
As far as scoring any project. That would have to be my own project that I have been developing for over ten years. Without giving away too much of the plot, it is essentially a Steampunk world that features many different stories/films/animation/games/comics/books, etc.
Think of the Star Wars mythos, but set in an alternate 1890's earth, with all kinds of crazy over the top adventures. Right now their are about three seperate characters with their own intertwining stories that take place through different releases. This is a project that I have tried not to give up hope on, but the older I get, the less likely it seems to come to fruition.
SC: What other musicians do you see as contemporaries?
VP: Many people refer to The Dresden Dolls, Abney Park, Jill Tracy and Dr. Steel as obvious contemporaries, however I didn't even know who any of those bands were untill well after I had been working on this project. I had owned Rasputinas first LP for quite awhile, but never really thought of them as an inspiration either. Contemporaries though for sure. Actually, according to some discussions I've had with a few of the members of Abney Park, the Steampunk direction of my project had inspired them to do the same. While musically our projects are quite different, I still see them as contemporaries, and appreciate their passion for the Steampunk genre. As for my true influences, I see the three biggest being "In the Nursery", "Massive Attack", and "Clan of Xymox". As for my biggest orchestral inspirations. That would be "Danny Elfman", "Ennio Morricone", and "Grame Revell". I am also highly influenced by the period of classical music between the 1850's - 1910's. That point where Classical was turning into Opera, and eventually Film Scores.
SC: What other artists have you had a chance to work with (ie:remixes, collaborations)? Who would you most love to work with?
VP: I have collaborated with Colin Sharp (ex-Durutii Column) on a song on my second LP, the UK band Soulrise has asked me to contribute string arrangements and various effects to an upcoming song of theirs, I also have plans to collaborate on some new material with Jill Tracy, and Martin Bowes (Attrition) in the near future.
I have remixed work by Abney Park, and Nouvelle Vague. But would love to try my hand at even more remixes for a wider variety of musical styles.
SC: What do you see as your biggest challenge as an artist?
VP: Well their are a few things really. One that I have really noticed after playing my first two major gigs, is that my project is going to be very hard to translate to a live setting. I mean it's essentially me, my laptop and midi keyboard. I have created music videos for a number of my tracks to be played during my shows, but I still have many songs that I would like to play live, that have no visual accompaniment yet. This music is also mostly instrumental, and on the few vocal pieces I perform, I don't really want to come off as some big rock star. I am a music programmer, not a rock star. This is very introverted and personal music that is going to need some very careful treatment to pull off live.
The next biggest challenge I find is getting someone interested enough in this project to sign me, so I have the financial support to start releasing full fledged published material. The whole MySpace music thing is both a blessing and a curse. While it really helps with networking, it also makes you lost amongst thousands of other artists of varying skill and talent.
Finally the fact that I am a solo artist makes promoting my work ten times harder than if I had five other members all doing the sam amount of promotion as myself. Tack that onto already having a number of other projects (post-punk.com being the second most prominent), as well as a day job, and girlfriend that I live with, I hardly have time to do anything else extra (let alone promote myself). On the other hand, being a solo artist also means I can work whenever I feel like it, and never have to schedule band practices, or argue with other people about how my sound and image should be represented.
SC: Do you find yourself planning projects and thinking "I need singer with a deeper voice." or "I need someone who can play a variety of brass instruments?"
VP: No not really. I have such a huge library of realistic instruments that I don't really "need" live performers. However if someone "was" interested in working on real acoustic music with me, I'd jump at the chance. As for singing, I do have a few people that are interested in providing vocals for my work (all females actually), but finding the time to meet up and record is the hardest part.

Philadelphia to Open Pizza Museum
Yes, someone in Philly is actually opening up an incredibly tasty museum, no word if cheese wiz is considered a pizza topping…..
Brian Dwyer is a genius.
You can thank him for opening 'Pizza Brain", which is a hybrid of a pizza shop and a gallery, located in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia.
This glorious pizza museum also displays figurines of random toys, TV's that show pizza-related programs, and more slices of pizza.
By the way, Brian also holds the Guinness World Record for the largest collection of pizza-related memorabilia with 561 items…and counting.
Obsess much about pizza? Feed your appetite by checking out this slice of history.
While I think this is both creative and innovative, what other kind of museum would you like to see be created? Comment below….

Increased Security at North Bergen H.S.
Extra security measures are in place at North Bergen High School today, after a threat against the school. A message was found written on a desk, threatening to "shoot up the school."
Today students will not be allowed to bring backpacks to school and they'll have to pass through hand held metal detectors. Extra police and security guards will also be on hand. Yesterday, students emptied their lockers while police dogs were brought in to sweep the school.
"We're going to make sure that every child that comes into that building is safe and secure," schools Superintendent George Solter told NorthJersey.com. "It's all going to be aggressively taken care of."
Authorities are also looking at a group of 200 to 300 students who could have written the message.
The school called every parent and guardian, informing them of what happened in a recorded message.

Catholicism is 'a mix of spirit and matter'
Millions in the US have just followed the Super Bowl on television and thousands celebrated with the winning team, the Seattle Seahawks.
Luke Wilson, from what I gather, a star player with the triumphant Seattle Seahawks, gave an interview prior to the game.
Speaking of his Catholic faith, he said, so very correctly, that Catholicism, being "a sacramental religion" is "a mix of spirit and matter".
The Church – he continued – sees the human person not just as a soul alone, but "a body-and-soul combination".
Asked specifically how he connected his Catholic faith with sport, he had the following to say:
"My faith is a huge part of who I am today, and it always has been huge, ever since I was a child. My siblings and I were raised to believe what the Church teaches and to act in certain ways.
"Clear demarcation of right and wrong made decision-making pretty easy. That's incredibly helpful for pursuing excellence in life, because you see what's truly valuable and worth sacrificing for, and also what you shouldn't even bother to give attention to.
"It's an irreplaceable thing to be raised in the Catholic Church, where you have the teachings of Jesus passed down through the centuries. His goal is our eternal salvation, but even if you look only at the earthly benefits you get from being Catholic, they're amazing. The peace of mind that comes from being in God's will is awesome.
"I'm very grateful for the Catholic upbringing I had. Without it, I wouldn't be anywhere near where I am today. Not even close."

Full of poop, IMO.
I've always heard (from reliable sources, such as mechanical engineers) that springs are primarily weakened by compress/decompress cycles, not time under compressed load, as long as the design limits of the spring have net been exceeded (such as over-compressing or bending/stretching them). I've personally fired ammo out of magazines that were loaded and left full for over 20 years (AR-15 and Mini-14), that functioned fine when finally used, and those same mags continued to function properly for many more years. Heck, I'm probably still using the AR mag, but I'd never be able to tell which one it is. I also have Glock mags with all original parts that were still perking along with no problems after 20+ years, some of which had been loaded for more than a year at a stretch; and then I sold them to folks in states that still had AWB-style magazine bans in place, and they're STILL using them.
When you find a reference to "replacing magazine springs yearly", you might be surprised at how many times this has originated with a company that sells replacement springs. I've seen it a lot in online sources, especially ones aimed at Law Enforcement or concealed carry folks, usually using the old "How much is your life worth?" or similar statements to sell replacement springs.
I'll see if I can find some sources for you to review on the subject.

Product Description:
Peter Sanderson (Steve Martin) is a divorced workaholic L.A. lawyer trying to forget his ex-wife (Jean Smart). Successful but lonely, Peter falls for an online chat buddy and is eager to meet his dream girl, until he meets the real woman behind the screen name and realizes she is nothing like he thought. Instead of a svelte blonde businesswoman he comes face to face with Charlene Morton (Queen Latifah), a sassy African-American ex-con who is eager to infiltrate Peter's stereotypically uptight white suburban world. Charlene wants Peter to defend her and prove she's innocent of a crime that she didn't commit but Peter wants nothing to do with the fast-talking homegirl. However, Peter's geeky best friend Howie (Eugene Levy) feels different and begins to woo the voluptuous diva with "hip" street lingo and hysterically deadpan come-ons. Soon enough, Charlene is shacked up in Peter's palatial estate, throwing wild parties, and opening his eyes to life, love and infectious freedom. Steve Martin and Queen Latifah are a fresh and dynamic comic team in this hysterical spin on the black-white buddy comedy that is a mixture of PRETTY WOMAN and THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR.
Description by Buena Vista Home Entertainment.:
Bringing Down The House
The hilarious Steve Martin (FATHER OF THE BRIDE) and Academy Award(R)-nominee Queen Latifah (Best Supporting Actress, 2002, CHICAGO) star with Eugene Levy (AMERICAN PIE) in the laugh-out-loud hit comedy BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE. Peter Sanderson (Martin), a divorced, straitlaced, uptight workaholic attorney, meets a brainy bombshell lawyer in an on-line chat room and they make a date. Expecting his soul mate, he opens the door and finds himself face-to-face with Charlene (Latifah) -- a wild and crazy soul "sister" who's just escaped from prison and wants Peter to clear her name. But Peter wants absolutely nothing to do with her, and that prompts Charlene to turn Peter's perfectly ordered life totally upside down. Hysterical complications abound and Peter soon finds out he may need Charlene just as much as she needs him. It's a houseful of fun your family will enjoy again and again.

- Jeanneau (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/jeanneau/)
- - Cleaning or replacing upholstery covers (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/jeanneau/36028-cleaning-replacing-upholstery-covers.html)
Cleaning or replacing upholstery covers
We have a Jeanneau with cream Vinyl upholstery. As a charter boat it gets heavy use and is grubby.
I have tried baby wipes and swafega but while it gets it a bit cleaner its still grubby.
Can anyone suggest a) a better method of cleaning or cleaning product?
b) If we had the seats and backing recovered is there anything more durable than the Jeanneau supplied cream vinyl.
While not practical the cream vinyl does look nice and I believe contributes to the boat popularity with charters so I would like to keep a "light" coloured interior.
Be grateful for any suggestions.

Gas fire pit on wood deck
I'm looking to put a gas fire pit on my wood deck. The plan is to frame out the walls, cover with duroc, put stone veneer on the outside, cap with 2" sandstone slab, fill the middle with gravel, install a gas fire ring, then top with decorative recycled glass. Does this sound ok? With all of the heat being generated above the actual fire pit I'm thinking the heat transfer will dissipate before it gets to the wood.
gas burns at a fairly low temp so it sounds ok to me but i'd add a layer of mineral wool insulation to be more assured,,, you might ck w/your ins co or local fire dept,,, heat rises but will also transfer thru solids fairly easily
