Advanced Compressor Cleaning System (ACCSpro)
Skip to Content
Advanced Compressor Cleaning System (ACCSpro)
Valid for following frames: SGT5-2000E (V94.2), SGT6-2000E (V84.2), SGT5-4000F (V94.3A), SGT6-4000F (V84.3A)
Some power plant operators may believe that losing power due to dirty compressor blades is inevitable. The consequences of dirt and grime on compressor blades can include rougher surfaces, higher turbulence levels, deteriorating flow patterns, reduced cross section of flow, higher compressor outlet temperatures and lower compressor outlet pressures. All this can quickly add up to 2– 4 % loss of power. For a 270 MW compressor, this can mean up to 11 MW less output and associated reduction of potential earnings from loss of power sales.
The Siemens Advanced Compressor Cleaning System upgrade (ACCSpro) is designed to minimize the fouling of the compressor blades and vanes. While the cleaning effect of many conventional cleaning systems can last but a few days, our spraying systems, cleaning solutions and a well-balanced combination of off-line and on-line washing processes can help reduce new fouling. A longer-lasting cleaning effect is intended to provide a more stable power gain and a shorter payback time. Including a compressor wash prediction analysis module can further enhance the effectiveness of ACCSpro.
The Siemens ACCSpro upgrade provides performance advantages and offers attractive financial payback options.
The Siemens ACCSpro upgrade can be a cost-effective means to help you improve the overall performance of your gas turbine plant.
Benefits may include:
The cleaning effect can be even further enhanced with the Siemens Advanced Compressor Coating upgrade where a special coating is applied, providing a smoother blade surface finish on the compressor blades and vanes.
The ACCSpro upgrade is applicable for the gas turbine frame types SGT5-4000F (V94.3A), SGT6-4000F (V84.3A) SGT5-2000E (V94.2) and SGT6-2000E (V84.2).
The ACCSpro from Siemens is just one of the many innovative modernization packages available.
The scope of this upgrade includes:
We recommend that the installation of this upgrade be typically performed at a minor inspection. The skid and the interconnection piping installation can be completed before the outage. We offer a full range of field service capabilities to help you manage your maintenance and outage schedules.
Siemens successfully implemented the Advanced Compressor Cleaning System (ACCSpro).
More than 20 units with the proven frame-specific Advanced Compressor Cleaning System are in operation worldwide *.

Move Over, Eye Candy. Here Comes the Business Tech Boom
Sometimes an IPO is more than just another IPO, and that's the case with Palo Alto Networks, which has just filed to go public.
Palo Alto makes security hardware and software and has been credited with inventing what the industry calls a "next-generation firewall." In a piece last October, we covered the rise of this new technology, which monitors data passing through cloud computing apps such as Facebook, WebEx, and Skype, in addition to protecting the usual things like Web surfing and e-mail. All of the major firewall makers have jumped on this bandwagon, but Palo Alto has cashed in on the trend more than any other security specialist.
Through an IPO, Palo Alto hopes to raise $175 million. It's money the company can use to hire new salespeople and extend its reach at a time when demand for the company's products is going through the roof. Last year, Palo Alto posted revenue of $119 million, up from $49 million in 2010 and $13 million in 2009. Gross margins have increased over that same span from 53 percent to 73 percent. Digest that for a minute. Palo Alto cleared $19 million in free cash last year.
What makes Palo Alto a big deal is that it's part of a coming wave of IPOs for technology companies that sell primarily to businesses. Splunk, a buzzed-about big data startup, just said it hopes to raise $945.5 million through an IPO. Workday, which sells human resources software in the cloud, should file to go public shortly, and Box, which offers cloud-based storage and collaboration software, should follow soon as well. Other companies such as Palantir, Arista Networks, and Coraid have their own booming franchises.
So, while Groupon, Twitter, and other consumer-focused companies get tons of attention for moving coupons and sponsored ads, let us take notice that an army of companies selling actual technology products is about to get rich, too.
It's about time, frankly. About the only blockbuster corporate-tech IPO over the last 10 years or so has been VMware. Through its virtualization software, VMware began a huge push around rewiring data centers to handle more modern types of software and an explosion of data. Now that work is carrying over to these surging upstarts that have pitched customers on a more modern way to do security, storage, human resources—the list goes on.
On the whole, this is the biggest remaking of the Internet's infrastructure since the dot-com boom, when companies like Oracle, Sun Microsystems, and Cisco Systems soared. A number of the big boys are still around and selling plenty of gear and software. But we're seeing the rise of tomorrow's empires as well.

CJR's Salmon: New York Times "Budget Puzzle" skewed in favor of the rich
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
On Monday, I explained a few problems with the New York Times' attention-grabbing "Budget Puzzle," which encouraged readers to try to address short- and long- term budget shortfalls through a combination of spending cuts and tax increases. One of those problems was what appeared to be a subtle bias against taxing the wealthy in the Times' description of estate tax options.
As it turns out, Felix Salmon of the Columbia Journalism Review had some similar problems with the Times' approach:
The too-hard part comes on the tax-hike side, where the options are far too limited. For instance, you have two choices when it comes to taxes on capital gains and dividends, both of which cap that tax at 20%. Can't I opt to raise that tax to the same level as the income tax? Even the deficit commission does that.
Similarly, for the payroll tax, the most you can do is raise the ceiling so that it covers the same 90% of all income that it covered at inception; you can't raise it any further than that, or abolish the ceiling entirely.
Most importantly, the options for new taxes are extremely constrained.
I'd also love to see the option of a wealth tax, which could raise a lot of money from those most able to afford it.
In my post, I noted that the Times did a poor job of explaining to readers the consequences of various options. According to Salmon, those consequences would generally be much worse for the poor and middle class than for the wealthy:
In general, the NYT options on both the spending-cut and the tax-hike side tend to hit the poor and the middle classes more drastically than the rich; what's missing here is the option to implement something much more progressive, in both senses of the word. It's a missed opportunity, and a shame.
As I noted on Monday, one of the biggest problems with the Times' approach was that it short-changed the importance of economic growth, both by focusing on the budget deficit rather than the struggling economy and by failing to give readers any indication of the impact their choices would have on growth. To his credit, David Leonhardt -- the Times reporter behind the "budget puzzle" -- devoted his column today to the importance of economic growth in reducing the deficit.

Malaga and Barcelona, the top choices in an email poll of Yorkshire travellers, are among the six destinations to be served by new low-cost airline Jet2, which begins flying from Leeds-Bradford airport next February. Malaga is also among the seven routes announced by buzz last week for flights from its new base in Bournemouth.
Jet2 invited travellers to nominate their preferred destinations for the first low-cost airline in the region. Chief executive Philip Meeson said that as a result of the poll - more than 4,000 emails were received - Malaga would be served by a daily flight next summer rather than the lower frequency originally planned. The other four routes to be launched are Nice, Palma, Milan-Bergamo and Amsterdam.
Prices have yet to be revealed but are expected to start at between £15 and £20 one way. Twice-daily Amsterdam flights will begin on February 12 with daily flights to the remaining destinations introduced by Easter. Bookings on the airline's website (jet2.co.uk) will open in early December.
The surprise in the buzz announcement is the launch of the airline's first domestic routes - to Belfast (International) and Glasgow (Prestwick) - with prices starting at £19 one way. The other routes from Bournemouth are already served by buzz from Stansted: Amsterdam, Bergerac, Murcia and Paris. Starting prices will range from £19 to Amsterdam, to £49 to Malaga and Murcia. Flights begin in March next year: travellers can register on the airline's website (buzzaway.com) to be contacted when seats go on sale.

Brunei will never be known as a party town, however it is known as the Green Heart of Borneo for good reason. Lying on the northwestern coast of the island of Borneo, the interior of Brunei is mostly tropical rainforest.

Diphtheria is a serious throat infection, which infects from person-to-person through the air. The vaccination should be less than 10 years old otherwise a booster is needed.
Infectious hepatitis infects through contaminated food and water. Vaccination consists of two injections about 12 months apart, which protects for up to 25 years. The first vaccination protects for 12 months. The hepatitis A vaccine can be combined with the vaccine against hepatitis B .
Tetanus is a complication to wounds contaminated by soil. If there has been a vaccination within the past 10 years it is not necessary to give a booster in case of wounds and accidents. Tetanus vaccinations are usually given in combination with diphtheria vaccine. If you are previously vaccinated, the vaccine can be given right up to departure.
Risk of malaria in this area is small, and prevention by malaria tablets is not recommended. Protection against mosquito bites by using impregnated bed nets at night will reduce the risk.
Certain countries without yellow fever require a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate if you arrives (even in transit) from a country where yellow fever is present. If you arrive from a country without yellow fever , there is no requirement for a yellow fever vaccination.

'01 Jeep G. Cherokee Fan & Temp Lights
The lights for the fan speed and the heater temp are burning out one by one on my 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Can anyone tell me how I can get into the dash/console to change these lights?
keeping the lights burning
Unless you are real good at wiring systems and tracing down shorts, grounds, etc, my recommendation is to take it to your local friendly Jeep dealer, and bite the bullit on the cost.
Only Need to Replace Bulbs...
I think it is just a matter of age that the bulbs have burned out. I do not thnk that there is a short or anything like that. How do I get into the console area to just swap out the bulbs?
Thanks... George
disassemble dash
You will have to look around and find all the various screws, clips, nuts, and bolts that hold the dash together. IF your gauges are in a cluster, on the bezel of your cluster, you should find some sheet metal screws that hold it in. Undo the screws and carefully remove the cluster pod from the dash. The bulbs are small and are either push in or twist in with half turn sockets. If your gauges are all in a cluster, then the cluster pod is all that you will need to remove.
Trying to explain where all the screws are would be difficult, but experience tells me there shouldnt be more than half a dozen screws and they would go through the gauge cluster bezel into the dashboard. Usually they are phillips screws and will need a couple of #2 phillips screwdrivers.
You will need a short and a long screwdriver most likely, for ease of reaching the screws through the steering wheel and around it.
Once you get all the retaining screws out, the pod should come out with out any prying or hammering.
What about the Fan Control Lights?
Thanks for the information. That makes sense for the gauge lights in the dashboard cluster. That process is similar to removing the gauge cluster in the 2nd generation Trans Ams I am restoring.
The lights that seem to have gone out in my 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee are the fan speed control light(s). These are located below the radio and in front of the gear selector? How would I get to those lights?
Thanks... George
light on the subject
Most likely your radio is held in by clips that require a couple of U-shaped tools that go into the holes on each side of your radio. You can see them on the facia. This is a new standard way of holding radios in place. These U shaped tools are available at your local auto parts store, for just a coupld dollars. They have a point on each end and just up the shafts from the point you will see a groove all the way around. You insert a U tool in each side of the radio, and push them in til you feel them lock in place. Once this is done you can remove the radio. If you can not reach the lights from through the nicale where the radio was mounted, Im lost.

When Charles Burke, a junior architecture major at University of Pennsylvania, first heard about the Actual Value Initiative – the reassessment of every property in Philadelphia – he said he thought it wouldn't change students' housing habits much.
After the city sent out new tax assessments, however, Burke said that he believes increased rents will result in students moving farther off campus.
Burke will not have to worry about the reassessments raising his taxes. After living on campus as a freshman – as all Penn students must – and on the 3800 block of Chestnut Street as a sophomore, he signed a two-year lease on a one-bedroom studio apartment on the 4000 block of Pine Street. According to his lease, his rent will remain the same next year.
The owners of the property, however, are projected to see approximately a $1,000 increase in their annual property taxes, using the 1.25 percent tax rate currently expected. This would have raised Burke's rent from $785 to about $868 a month, if the landlord felt he could pass the entire cost along to the tenant. While he said that he would probably still chose to live there, he did admit that the jump would cause some second thoughts.
"I guess I would still be willing to pay that, but I wouldn't be happy about it," he said. "That said, I wouldn't like having to pay that much at all and I would definitely look for a cheaper place to live, probably Center City or further west."
While Burke said he thinks this is a possibility many more students will consider in coming years, he also said he expects students to be taken by surprise by fluctuations in prices.
"I've heard no one talking about property taxes."

Crying Fowl
There are many things that make a wine special, and what it pairs with is definitely one of them.
We sell a lot of wine here on Wine.Woot, so when we come across something new, we get excited. That's why when we read that the 2006 Muir's Legacy Merlot and 2006 Muir's Heritage Merlot both pair with "steak, rich pastas, or smoked foul," we could hardly believe our eyes.
Smoked foul? So all of these years, when we've been throwing away bad food because it got to an irreversible state of being unpairable, we've had another option? We can't help but feel like we've wasted so much.
If only we had known that there was a wine out there that could accompany foul food, we would have taken advantage of that foul soup, that foul cabbage, that foul apple, that foul fowl--wait a second...

hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has had any luck finding a factory navigation system to install in their 08 wrx. I picked up my car about a month ago it is a pearl white wrx 5dr with premium package and I did not go with the navi package, but I am regretting it now. I know their are after market navi systems that work just as well or better, but I want to keep the look consistent with the rest of the instruments in the car and I would like it to function with subaru accessories.
This is my first time posting so the feed back is appreciated.

" MOLD LINING THE CEILING OF THE FEMALE SHOWER ROOMS 10cm wide the length of the wall. Doors anyone can get into. Lockers that fit almost nothing. No outlets in the 'capsules' so you can't keep your electronics close while charging. A mat so thin it felt like sleeping on the wooden floor of the 'capsule' which was not even that- and they said this was an UPGRADE compared to the bunks. 'Luggage storage' is near the entrance and just a corner of a hallway. This is a terrible representation of Japan. "- Anônimo

Starred is the duo of Matthew Koshack and Liza Thorn, who play hazy psych-rock songs with country-folk underpinnings (and take some vocal pointers from Courtney Love). They used to live in L.A. (and Thorn once dated/was in a band with Christopher Owens, former Girls frontman, called…Curls), but now they're doing the Brooklyn thing. Starred released the song "No Good" this summer, and today the band is sharing a stream of its Prison To Prison EP. The album will get a physical release November 20 via Pendu Sound, but listen to it in full now, and check out dates for two of the group's upcoming shows, below.

"You want me to do what to you?" I asked my boyfriend, Julian [names and personal details have been changed], trying to sound understanding. It was a month into our relationship, and we were lying in bed, sharing our most private sexual fantasies.
"It's just… I've had this fantasy for a while, and I feel like you might be into it, but I don't want to freak you out."
"You can't freak me out. I'm open to pretty much anything!" I tried to convince him.
Julian looked down at his hands, and his eyebrows huddled together like they were having a secret meeting. Apparently, the eyebrows decided it was safe to confide in me. "It's kinda messed up."
"Psssh, I'm sure it's fine."
He sighed, and then… "I like to wear women's lingerie."
All the moisture left my vagina. I was not expecting that at all. I tried to picture my tan, hairy Colombian boyfriend in a lace thong. Nope! No me gusta. "OK," I said, completely turned off but trying to sound supportive. "Is that it?"
There was more. Fantastic.
"I think it would be hot to dress up in women's lingerie and then have you order me around…."
"Okaaay," I said, desperately hoping that was the end of it.
"And then spank me."
Nooo! I put my hands on my face, Home Alone–style. You know that feeling when the man you love tells you he wants you to bend him over your knee and smack his bare bottom? Well, that's exactly how I felt. I couldn't believe that Julian wanted to be treated like a Craigslist prostitute. If anyone was going to be the Craigslist prostitute in this relationship, it should be me. I'm the girl! (P.S.: I am aware of how oppressively gender-normative this sounds.)
After I let his confession sink in for a moment, I started to think about my own reaction. Why was I so freaked out? Why was I so convinced I wouldn't like it? Maybe it would make me feel powerful, like Oprah on a Jet Ski.
I always thought of myself as open-minded and adventurous in bed. I would never judge what people like to do behind closed doors! So why was this tripping me out? On the one hand, I obviously support experimentation in the bedroom. How else do you discover what you like and keep things fresh? You have to try things! On the other hand, a little voice inside me just said, "Hell freakin' no." I was deeply conflicted.
Julian went on to tell me he had actually visited a professional dominatrix before and loved it. She yelled at him while he scrubbed her floors in nothing but a bra and panties. Although I found the scenario totally unsexy, I was intrigued by the cleaning part. Your hottest fantasy is having me insult you while you clean? We should just get married!
After Julian said everything he needed to say, it was my turn to talk. For once in my life, I couldn't find the words. I was so confused. What did this mean? Was my boyfriend gay? Could I possibly find his bizarre fantasy exciting at some point?
"Maybe we could try it once," I conceded, with all the enthusiasm of a teenager on a family vacation.
Julian tried, unsuccessfully, to get me excited about it. "I thought you'd be really into this. You'd be such a great dominatrix! You're so bossy."
"I'm just bossy. It doesn't mean I want to spank you."
For the rest of the day, I could feel his disappointment. Julian thought he had finally found his BDSM mistress. I was sexually open, I had a strong personality, I did adventurous things. I'm down to get weird, and Julian must have thought I was his kinky soul mate!
Julian wasn't the only one who was disappointed. I was totally in love, and I was desperate to make our relationship work. Julian was funny, smart and stylish. Everything was there except one really, really important thing: sexual compatibility. That's what makes sex so strange and cosmic. You can never predict who you're gonna spark with. That hilarious doctor your friend set you up with you were so sure you'd marry? Premature ejaculator. That psycho bartender who dropped out of college and has zero direction in life? Best sex of your life. You can be on the same page as someone in every single way, but if they don't toast your genital pecans, it's never gonna work.
Julian and I fell in love long before we started dating, so when I say I would have done almost anything to have made this relationship work, I mean it. I met him when I was just starting out in my career and looking to make connections in my industry. He happened to be in the same line of work, and my friend suggested I meet him. I emailed Julian and asked if I could take him out for dinner in exchange for some job advice.
The night we met, I sat in the booth at a popular Mexican restaurant and waited for him to show. I was sipping a Corona when in walked a tall, olive-skinned J.Crew model. "Are you Jennifer?"
Oh, snap! This man was cuter than a cat in a costume.
Over sloppy quesadillas and beer, we talked about everything—our dreams, our families, our artistic pursuits. The conversation was fast-paced and passionate; we kept interrupting each other, yelling, "That's exactly how I feel!" I looked at Julian's face and saw someone who finally got me. The night twinkled on, and I felt like the ingenue in a black-and-white French film.
Later that evening, I went on Facebook, as you do, to learn everything I could about this fascinating creature. And that's when I saw his status: in a relationship. He had a girlfriend! I was crushed.
I tried to forget about him, but it was hard because I kept bumping into him at parties. Over time, Julian and I became "friends with tension." We started hanging out alone, going on long bike rides, having picnics in the park. I lied to myself that it was all totally kosher. We were just two platonic friends who sometimes got lost in each other's eyes for hours on end. No big deal.
One night we met up at a bar and both started drinking like it was the end of days. After three margaritas, I scrawled a note on a bar napkin and passed it to him: "I 'like' like you." He looked at it and then started writing something back. My heart was racing. He passed it to me: "I've liked you since the moment I met you." I felt electrified and then really sad. I wrote another note: "You have a girlfriend, we can't do this. Call me when you're single." I passed it to him silently and walked out of the bar.
Months later, I got a text. "It's over. I'm single." I was euphoric. It was like Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa all rolled into one. We instantly became a couple. Julian was mine! Those first weeks of our relationship were like some delirious dream. We would just lie in bed for an entire day, staring into each other's eyes. We were so happy, we'd just start laughing randomly.
As we became closer and started to trust each other more, we both opened up. And that's when Julian dropped the fetish bomb on me. Our honeymoon phase was officially over. I realized what we had wasn't perfect, and that like every couple in the world, we had issues. After Julian's kinky confession, I decided I needed some space to process.
As much as I loved Julian, and as much as it pained me to admit it, I couldn't get behind his desires. And I had to be honest about it. Julian was courageous enough to be real with me, so I had to be real with him, too. I didn't want to humiliate, spank or yell at him. I didn't want what he wanted. And so with a lot of sadness, we broke up. At the end of the day, I realized I'm a feminist in the streets and a housewife in the sheets. Unfortunately, my boyfriend was also a housewife in the sheets.
The greatest gift of any relationship is that you get to learn and grow. Sexually, I had never thought of myself in terms of top or bottom, sub or dom, kinky or vanilla. And I still don't like the idea of giving yourself a label. But I definitely learned that I'm more traditional than I thought. I'm not saying I want to hold hands for six months until we're married and then have silent intercourse in the dark. Discovering your sexuality is a process, and you learn as you go. When it comes to sex, you can't fake it. I mean, obviously you can—and some women do—but it's definitely not the road to pleasure. If you want to connect with someone in bed, you have to be naked, in all ways. You have to be yourself, the real person. And that's true intimacy.
The biggest lesson I took from my time with Julian can be summed up with a quote from one of my favorite American philosophers: "I would do anything for love, but I won't do that." Amen.

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hi. I'm online and happy to answer your question today.
Thank you for that extensive history.
Well, it sounds like you have spent quite some time trying to get to the bottom of what is going on. I am sure that your previous doctors have thought of, and ruled out, all of the common and easily treatable conditions that could be causing your issues. Would you say this is a correct statement?
Well I think it might be time for you to take a very difficult, and bold, step to see if you can get some relief. It seems obvious to me that your current doctors have reached the bottom of their bag of tricks and, yet, you are still having these problems. Is this something that I'm going to be able to figure out using "chat" as my only diagnostic tool? Of course not....I'm good, but not THAT good lol! I do, however, think I can point you in the right direction.
It sounds like you have been receiving good care from very qualified physicians without any significant lasting improvement in your condition. At this point I think the best thing you can do would be to gather up copies of all your medical records and travel to a large University Teaching hospital. At an institution like that you could be evaluated and treated by a team of sub-specialists who are at the cutting edge of their respective fields. The best thing about these large teaching hospitals is that consultations are available with Professors and leaders in their field by just walking a few steps down the hall.
The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota is an excellent example of just such a place as this. That being said there are many excellent teaching hospitals all across the country and I am sure that there is one near you.
If you could tell me what large city you live near and how far it would be possible for you to travel in seeking treatment I would be happy to give you some names. Of course, you could also ask friends and associates or check the internet yourself. Let me know what you would like to do.
Does this make sense to you?

The Reality Dysfunction Part I: Emergence (original 1996; edition 1997)
by Peter F. Hamilton
Work details
The Reality Dysfunction, Part 1: Emergence by Peter F. Hamilton (1996)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Space opera of incredible scope (and length - the three books in the "Night's Dawn" trilogy are broken up into six 600-page paperbacks). Couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Set in a sprawling, realistically written galactic confederation, faced with an existential crisis that challenges humanity's beliefs as well as technical cleverness.
The Reality Disfunction, parts 1 and 2, are really one book, so it is hard to give a meaningful review on half a book. There are a lot of threads started and not all of them woven together. The main ones start to weave together, but there is no telling where the rest of the book goes.
To give you an idea of the threads (spoiler free), we have:
-A star-killing technology that never got used
-An energy being that likes to watch
-A sentient spaceship and its psychically bonded captain
-A extra-lucky Han Solo complete with the parts where you remember that Han Solo is kindof an asshole
-A satan-worshipping disenfranchised youth who gets more than he bargains for
If any of those interest you in the context of space opera, go ahead and pick up this book.
Not the easiest thing I've read. Hamilton is introducing people, planets, starships and technology almost every other page and sometimes he takes quite a bit to go back to them. There were several occasions where I was trying to remember what a name referred to. On the other hand, the story so far is compelling and he's build quite a remarkable world to set it in. I've already started on the second part ... Expansion which promises to pick up the pace.
Awesome part of the dark series by Peter Hamilton.
Utterly entranced by the opening chapters as Hamilton creates a dark and detailed universe in which to stage his space opera. However I was left cold by the appearance of the seemingly magical dead-people and finished the book only to get to the end.

Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0446605158, Mass Market Paperback)This is space opera on an epic scale, with dozens of characters, hundreds of planets, universe-spanning plots, and settings that range from wooden huts and muddy villages to sentient starships and newborn suns. It's also the first part of a two-volume book that is itself the first book of a series. There's no question that there's a lot going on here (too much to even begin to detail the plot), but Hamilton handles it all with an ease reminiscent of E. E. "Doc" Smith. The best way to describe it: it's big, it's good, and luckily there's plenty more on the way.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:14:37 -0400)
Joshua Calvert, owner of the Lady Macbeth, is cursed by his good luck; Ione Saldana, Lord of Ruin, is cursed by her royal birth; colonists trapped on the stinking jungle world Lalonde are cursed by their faith; entire planets are simply cursed... And a data chip from a long-extinct alien race, the Laymil, holds the only clue to what the phenomenon is - a force unknown to science, an invasion unknown to history. The Laymil called it "the Reality Dysfunction." But they might have called it Hell...… (more)

Album review: 'A Christmas Story'
Updated 3:02 am, Sunday, November 11, 2012
It isn't often that the original cast album appears before a Broadway musical has opened, but, though this is the same show, it isn't the same cast - except for the reliably fine John Bolton in the role of Ralphie's Old Man. That's Ralphie, the boy who wants nothing in the world so much as a Red Ryder BB Gun for Christmas, in the beloved Jean Shepherd holiday classic. Not to be confused with any other stage adaptation (let alone the 1983 movie) that's been making the rounds, this one - adapted by Joseph Robinette (book) and songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul - premiered two years ago at Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre and toured to a few cities the following holiday season. This is a recording of that production, rather than the Broadway version staged by John Rando that opens Nov. 19, though with the same orchestrator (Larry Blank) and musical director (5th Street's Ian Eisendrath). It's a sweet holiday confection, not quite leavened enough by Shepherd's wry humor (a folksy Tom Wopat). The cavalcade of short peppy songs is pleasant and instantly forgettable, except for the lovely lilting voice of Liz Callaway as Mother and vague impressions of eddying snowflakes and innumerable floating ghost snippets of holiday tunes from seasons long past. It's a nice-sounding effort that aspires to little and achieves less.

In his first poem entitled "War," Ben writes:
People doing wrong
Pain for the people we love
Why does hate take over?
Ben's despair is not unique - that's why people with the mission like that of Ruty Hotzen are heroes.
You see, in part, a hero is someone who embraces a vision of a better world and then lives "as if" it is a present reality. We call it living "as if." In history we find heroes of all stripes and colors from Abraham (the Father of Judaism, Christianity and Islam) to Israel's Menachem Begin to Egypt's Anwar Sadat to South Africa's Nelson Mandela. For each their vision for peace and justice was never limited by contemporary realities in which they lived.
Inspired by her hero, Janusz Korczak, Ruty Hotzen is one of those unique individuals whose life and work is an outstanding example of someone who lives - and works - "as if."
The truth is we live in a world where children are often placed at the bottom of our culture's "care" list. Children do not vote, pay taxes and so it is often true that when it comes to the policies and practices of governments and other public institutions the needs of our children are neglected. Of course, as Ruty is quick to point out, we know from history that when we neglect the needs of our children and their children's children for the benefit of short term political and economic gain, society, indeed the world, pays a very heavy price.
Ruty knows this truth well. She lives in Israel, a country that throughout its history has been wracked by violence. And Ruty knows that this cycle of violence can only be stopped through the care and nurturing of children, regardless of their national, religious, or racial affiliation.
Ruty points to the visionary steps that Israel's Begin and Egypt's Sadat took to heal the wounds that so divided their two counties. Begin and Sadat put aside politics, religion and in effect said to the world that by signing a peace treaty: "We come to this table not for us, but for the welfare and benefit of our children and their children's children."
Ruty shares the belief that peace in the Middle East as well as the rest of the world will come when we put children and their education first.
Involving thousands of young people, a Talking Kites event combines the fun and excitement of building and flying kites while sharing a common vision for peace and justice. And with each kite soars a twofold message of inspiration. The first is at the end of each kite string where a child who may be Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Black, White, Palestinian, or Israeli shares a dream of a better world. And secondly on each kite is written a message of inspiration, which embodies the life, philosophy, and teachings of Janusz Korczak.
Now as we said earlier, Janusz Korczak is our hero's hero. He was a Polish-Jewish Doctor, children's book writer and educator. He worked with children who were marginalized and abandoned by society and families. He set up orphanages to care for and educate "his" children. He did this not because he was sympathetic to their plight or because he glorified them but because he sincerely believed that within each child burned "a moral spark that could be vanquished by the darkness that is at the very core of human nature."
When the Nazis marched into Poland with an agenda of hatred manifested as genocide, Korczak did all he could to shield the children with the hope embodied by his presence and the presence of his vision for them and their future. So committed was he to children that when the Nazis told him he was free to go, Korczak chose to march to the death camps with over 200 children. In the process he kept a dairy about the atrocities he witnessed, as well as the hopes and visions onto which he and his 200 children clung like life lines.
This diary of this hero has lived on to inspire Ruty and thousands like her to carry on the work and teaching of Janusz Korczak.
One kite may say: "Every child deserves love!" Another may read "You do not leave a sick child and you do not leave children in a time like this."
As Ben wrote after flying a Talking Kite:
Fun in the hot sun
Flying high over the sky
Blowing in the wind
In a world that is segmented by the "isms" that so divide the human race, and where the possibilities for peace seem as distant as a snow hill in the Gaza Strip - To witness Ruty's vision for a world (a vision that embraces the impossible possibility for peace and justice) is to be treated to the sensation, no, the belief that peace is not so far away after all. It is right there in the hands and hearts of our children - and all we have to do is nurture it and keep it well and live and burning as hot as a spark.
When we do this, we too might have the same experience as Ben who wrote in his third poem entitled "Peace":
People doing good
Fun for the people we love
Why can't we have it..
And so it is that Ruty, Janusz and now Ben are people who live "as if" peace is a possible possibility and each asks each one of us, "Why can't we have it?"
teaches and supports educators in using technologies to promote student interaction in global projects.

Here's another golden gem from the AT&T archives - a 1986 video meant to pump up customers and employees of AT&T, which asked them to make "The Right Choice." If you're a fan of rockin' '80s guitar riffs and happy people talking on the phone (and honestly, who isn't?), you have to watch this video clip:
AT&T says the campaign was related to the 1984 divestiture of AT&T, in which the company now faced more competition for customers.
"This film, a rock-fueled corporate music video, serves as both a get-your-employees-fired-up motivational film AND promotion for the state of the company. AT&T kept its new slogan until 1993, when the 'You Will' campaign was initiated. That same year, AT&T moved its long distance advertising from [N.W. Ayer] to a new agency."
In addition to the "awesome" '80s guitar riffs, the video featured a bunch of happy people talking on the phone, which I think we all take for granted these days -- seriously, when was the last time you were happy when your phone (or cell phone) rang?. I also liked how the video showed off some of the other technologies that AT&T was working on, including computers - there's a clip of the happy family opening a giant box with the AT&T logo on it - I kind of wish they showed me what was inside that box - was it a giant PC? A humongous answering machine? A time machine? We may never know.

Grand Theft Auto IV Steals Reviewers' Hearts
Long heralded as the most open-ended franchise in history (well, aside from those 100-plus hour Elder Scrolls games), Grand Theft Auto has received both acclaim and criticism for its violent nature. However, the most recent installment, Grand Theft Auto IV, is receiving reviews previously unheard-of in gaming. All in all, these kinds of scores make Halo 3 look like Superman N64 (uh, the worst-reviewed game in history).
When it first launched shortly after the introduction of the PlayStation 2, there was little doubt Grand Theft Auto III had changed the way games were made. Granted, it wasn't much different than its predecessors in the way it placed gamers in the shoes of a common street thug. However, for the first time ever it blended cutting-edge graphics with a vast, urban environment where the player could do just about anything they chose. The immense popularity of the game led to two semi-successors, including GTA III: Vice City and GTA III: San Andreas.
Grand Theft Auto IV has been blessed with no such title. This, it appears, is a whole new game, and by the looks of reviews, a whole new stage in gaming. For one, the graphics are improved. Popular gaming site 1UP recently remarked that Liberty City (the metropolis in which the game is set) boasts "breathtaking vistas, incredibly varied scenery, and lived-in look...The city just feels alive." The new multiplayer element, a surprising addition to the franchise, is also being heralded as a fine piece of work. Up to 16 people can roam Liberty City causing trouble in the appropriately named "Free Mode". (Source: ign.com)
Aside from the freedom to roam, reviews thus far suggest that GTA IV boasts remarkably deep artificial intelligence. Liberty City's citizens act like real people; cyclists oogle good-looking girls, motorists slam into one another, and when they do, exchange formalities. That kind of detail will give gamers a good idea of what Rockstar has been doing with its time since San Andreas a few years ago. (Source: 1up.com)
GTA IV ships Tuesday.

Do not be surprised if the crowd is just a little bit bigger than usual at Dirty Oscar's Annex this summer. After Guy Fieri of the Food Network's "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" uncovered this hidden culinary hot spot, foodies from around the Northwest are sure to be curious. And with the recent hiring of Chef Geoffrey Bryan Yahn, the restaurant's elevated bar food will receive a bit of a makeover in the form of fresher, healthier ingredients.
Yahn, with nearly 20 years experience, virtually grew up in the kitchen, first developing an interest in cooking at the age of 10. Some of his favorite childhood memories are going to local farmers markets as a child and learning about what it takes to grow your own food.
He plans to bring his love of farmers markets and fresh produce with him to Dirty Oscar's, and plans to develop dishes that are as close to guilt-free as they can be. And watch out for even more gluten-free and vegetarian dishes in the future.
Starting May 7 at the nearby 6th Avenue Farmers Market, Dirty Oscar's will operate a booth featuring special dishes priced at $6-$8, available only at the market: a bulgur, beet and arugula salad with champagne vinaigrette; a sandwich with Tasso ham, smoked gouda, arugula, pickled onion and herb aioli on baguette; and Moroccan couscous salad with quinoa and spring vegetables from the market dressed with sumac vinaigrette. These dishes will be easily portable to allow visitors to continue shopping, and will be available in two sizes.
Dirty Oscar's recently started getting in on Tacoma's Taco Tuesday scene, with its own unique salmon taco, featuring light white sauce, paired with tequila cocktails and glasses of wine on special.
Although there are no plans for a menu overhaul at the moment, watch out for daily specials and previews of Yahn's own dishes, which he describes as "whimsical."
For more information about the restaurant, visit http://www.dirtyoscarsannex.com. Dirty Oscar's Annex is located at 2309 6th Ave. in Tacoma.

First Pitch
First Pitch: The Death of Free Agency
First Pitch
Yesterday the Tampa Bay Rays agreed to an extension with right-handed pitcher Chris Archer, getting control of two of his free agent years in the process. Archer becomes the 15th player during the 2014 calendar year to sign an extension that buys out control of at least one free agent year. The Pittsburgh Pirates made one of those deals, extending Starling Marte two weeks ago.
There have been a lot of extensions of this nature around baseball this off-season. In total there have been 19 extensions that bought out control of at least one year of free agency. In total, MLB teams have combined to guarantee $1.018 billion dollars since the start of the off-season on these extensions. That doesn't include the potential amount of the option years, which are usually the most expensive part of ...

It's likely you can fish a crumpled sales receipt out of the bottom of your purse or your back pocket on demand. These slips of paper are a part of our daily lives. Not many people may know, however, that white thermal receipt paper is likely to contain BPA or similar chemicals that are known endocrine disrupters. Fortunately, there is a newer alternative thermal paper that can show shoppers your store's true colors. Here's more about this socially conscious choice.
What Is It?
The traditional white paper strips that come out of a cash register, credit card machine, or calculator likely contain phenols, which are acids used as developer on the paper. The alternative is vitamin C thermal paper that uses a different formulation to achieve the same effect as paper that is not phenol-free. How can your customers tell the difference? The vitamin C receipt strips are yellow, a natural result of the components in the paper.
Why Does Color Matter?
The yellow color of phenol-free thermal paper is a visual giveaway to customers that there is something different about the receipts your company provides. It likely will prompt them to ask about it, giving you and your employees a chance to explain the difference and why you've made a better choice for the health of your clients. Even if they don't inquire about the unusual receipt color, you can feel better knowing you haven't provided additional phenol exposure to customers or your employees.
Is It Worth the Cost?
Vitamin C thermal paper may be slightly more costly than traditional receipt tapes, but the benefits are many. Studies in recent years have shown that an increasing number of consumers are willing to pay more to patronize businesses they know to be socially responsible. The percentage of people who indicate this preference rises each year. When you set your company apart from the competition in visible ways, you can connect with this group of shoppers. The added expense of yellow receipt paper can easily be offset by an increased customer base of consumers happier to buy from you. Plus, thermal paper is something you likely purchase in large quantities, so you can take advantage of bulk pricing.
In the world of business competition, it can be difficult to differentiate your company from your competitors. One simple and socially responsible way to do that is by switching to vitamin C thermal paper. The health of your customers and your company can benefit in the long run.

To clarify my question a Lama who may or may not be a Dzogchen master gives a student an empowerment and states the samaya is to do the sadhana for the rest of one's life. The student decides to focus on discovering their primordial state instead of doing the sadhana. How does this fulfill their commitment?

The cameras will take a photo of a speeding driver's face, making it difficult for them to say they were not behind the wheel.
They will be introduced at two sites in Upper Thames Street in central London.
If successful, the trial could lead to more sites being considered by the London Safety Camera Partnership.
The new cameras will take a digital image of the front of speeding cars, while a traditional speed camera will capture an image from the rear.
Legal loopholes
London mayor Ken Livingstone's road safety ambassador, Jenny Jones, said: "These additional cameras are aimed at the minority of drivers on London's roads who think they can break the law and get away with it.
"We are determined to close the legal loopholes, catch the rogue drivers who put others at risk, and have a consistent approach to traffic law enforcement in London."
Chris Lines, head of Transport for London's road safety unit, added: "Some motorists believe they are above the law and should be able to speed without facing the legal consequences.
"Speed is a contributory factor in a third of fatalities in London and we hope trialling these cameras will enable us to stop motorists who endanger lives by speeding."
Ten forward-facing cameras have been trialled in Essex over the past two years.

by Dr. Boyce Watkins, KultureKritic.com
Shaunie O'neal, the woman who has made a small fortune by convincing women of color to brawl on national television, expressed a point of personal enlightenment this week by confessing that the next season of Basketball Wives is going to consist of less fighting. Shaunie, the Executive Producer for the most notorious entertainment calamity since Flavor of Love, made the announcement during a reunion special for the show.
I applaud Shaunie's announcement, for it hopefully represents progress in a show that was built on a questionable premise to begin with. Millions of Americans were already confused and annoyed by the fact that people were making themselves famous for the work of someone that they once had sex with. Most of the "Basketball Wives" have never been married to anyone, and some didn't even obtain the "glorious (profitable) distinction" of becoming an NBA baby mama. So, I wonder if there should be legislation introducing restrictions on when someone is allowed to use the word "wife."
My mother has been a wife for nearly 40 years. That's because she endured the challenges of being legally committed to the same man for most of her life. That makes her a bit different from Evelyn Lozada.
With that being said, I am sure that Shaunie's "moment of clarity" was heavily influenced by the petition created to boycott her show, which has turned itself into the new Jerry Springer. Seeing VH1 openly exploit and promote the moment where Evelyn climbs over the table to punch another woman in the face was just too much for some people to watch. World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) couldn't have come up with a better promotional video than the one created by the producers of "Basketball Wives."
I applaud those who've stood up against "Basketball Wives," which makes a point of showing women of color at their absolute ugliest. I hope that Shaunie can learn the lesson that Bob Johnson never learned with BET, that a person can make a profit and not sell their entire soul in order to achieve it. The public gives Basketball Wives a great deal of leverage: They are allowed to illegally use the word "wife," it gives a group of women celebrity status for someone else's hard work, and it doesn't judge the women for displaying disgusting amounts of shallow materialism. All people are asking is that they stop punching it out like a pack of drunken thugs.
Now Shaunie, go ahead and make your money, just show a little class in the process.

The ITU/MIC Kyoto Symposium on ICTs and Climate Change closed 16 April with agreement that the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) should play a significant role in the global efforts to combat climate change. The Symposium had six substantive sessions, including:
A number of actions were recommended for ITU such as assisting countries, in particular developing ones, to raise awareness on how information and communication technologies (ICTs) can help adapting and mitigating to climate change. Specific areas mentioned are, among others, strengthening the capacity of developing countries to use ICTs for sustainable development, disaster and emergency preparedness, actions on food insecurity, use of remote sensing, assistance to rural communities and coordinated action to assist the most vulnerable countries. Experts also recognized that each country should consider promoting the use of ICT applications for government services (e-Government) from national to local levels, as well as reducing the emission of greenhouse gases through environmentally friendly use of ICTs in other sectors such as public health, education, business and employment.
More information on the Symposium is available in the chairmans report, the meeting summary and the ITU background report. Presentations from this event can be viewed here. The chairmans report will be forwarded to upcoming meetings of the World Economic Forum, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) ministerial meeting in the Republic of Korea, the G8 meeting in Japan and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
The second ITU symposium on ICTs and climate change, will be held 17-18 June in London, hosted by BT. The London event will also be broadcast as a live Webinar. To register online at this event, see here.

Newcastle will bring in six or seven new players this summer, and to accommodate them there will be a number of players leaving the club, and news today that local lad Steven Taylor will be made available in the summer.
Steven Taylor – to be let go this summer
Steven has a lucrative contract that has another two years to run come June, but he has been unable to get many games at center-back this season, and is now the fourth choice so he will be sold and a new center-back will be brought in.
He started the season badly at the Emirates when he didn't play well ,and then got himself sent off before half time, and it was then that he lost his place and he's been on the sidelines most of the time since then, with Mike Williamson having a very good season as first choice alongside Colo.
It's also probably for Steven's own good that he leaves the club, because he's good enough to still play in the Premier League, and there will be a number of clubs come in for him over the summer months.
QPR manager Harry Redknapp was interested in taking the 28 year-old in January, and he could well try to take him to London, especially if QPR can get promoted back to the Premier League – currently they are in a play-off position 10 points behind second placed Burnley.
And with Shola Ameobi's contract running out in July and not being renewed, that will be the two top local lads at Newcastle for the last decade or so leaving the club.
We just have to hope that other local players come through like Paul Dummett and Adam Armstrong as only two examples.
And it remains to be seen if Fabricio Coloccini leaves in the summer this summer, since that problem with his family being in Buenos Aries still exists.
We really hope Colo stays – but if he does leave Newcastle would then need to bring in two new center-backs – although 19 year-old Remie Street, the local lad from South Shields, is looking good in training.
Steven Taylor has played 242 games for Newcastle with 13 goals, and he made his debut way back in early 2004, at age 18, when the great Sir Bobby Robson was managing the club.
Comments welcome,
