The Man Behind a Kitchen Revolution
The man behind the iconic Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, Jerome Caruso, is poised for the launch of his newest product -- the Cella Chair. Unveiled in June at the top interior design industry show in Chicago, where it took home the Best of NeoCon award, the innovative Cella will make its market debut in September. And if history is any guide, Caruso's latest creation could be yet another ground-breaking hit for a man with a long list of winning designs.
For starters, the rise of showcase gourmand kitchens in American homes owes much to the mild-mannered industrial designer from Lake Forest, Ill. Sub-Zero's quiet design force, Caruso transformed a bulky, uninspired household appliance into a cleanly sculpted masterpiece of modern food preservation.
Sub-Zero Freezer Company, the Madison (Wis.)-based manufacturer, had pioneered the built-in refrigerator 60 years ago. And for decades it relied on its engineers to propel the line forward, drawing a discriminating clientele that appreciated the products' technological innovations and seamless blend into the surrounding cabinetry. But in the mid-1980's, other manufacturers were beginning to offer similar features, and the company tapped Caruso to inject some cool into its product line.
A seemingly unlikely choice, Caruso's portfolio up until then had included designing Motorola's LCD watch modules, a LCD desk calculator for Rockwell International, and an injection-molded, plastic pedestal chair base for Shepherd Industries. But at the time, Sub-Zero's CEO had seen an architectural photograph of the modern Lake Forest house that Caruso designed, with its unique brick roof, and wanted to meet the man behind it.
It turned out to be design kismet. The association between Caruso and private, family-held Sub-Zero redefined the refrigerator, transformed kitchen design, inspired multiple imitations and knock-offs, and turned the refrigerator into a luxury status symbol.
Today, Caruso, 67, works outside the Windy City in his one-man shop, Jerome Caruso Design. His studio annex is located in the contemporary, open-space house that he designed and built in 1995. Born in Chicago, Caruso was raised in Oak Park, Ill., home of such famous design residents as Frank Lloyd Wright, who developed the "Prairie Style" of architecture when he lived and worked there. Unlike many designers who concentrate on one area, Caruso has managed to master several categories nearly simultaneously.
The designer refined his philosophy in the 1960s, when he studied under Danish masters at the University of Copenhagen and at the Bernadotte and Bjorn design studio. He later established his own studio, also named Jerome Caruso Design Inc. in Brussels. Furniture as a decorative art form was influencing the world, and Denmark was at the center. "Danish modern was all the rage," he says.
In Europe, he learned to focus on quality, detail, concept, and pure lines. "My primary inspirations are ergonomic and to invent something that is both a good concept and outstanding aesthetic."
Caruso's European sensibility is on display in his Sub-Zero designs. At a Manhattan showroom, the designer proudly demonstrates his work opening and closing stainless steel freezers and cherry-wood refrigerators with expensive decorative handles.
Caruso broke with the standard blueprint. He removed the metal shelving and compartments and created an all white and glass interior. "I asked women what they thought," he says. "I didn't know if they'd like it, but they said it was so much easier to clean." And he installed a fully lit ceiling that supplies even illumination. His internal hinge pulls the door out two and half inches before swinging open, preventing it from touching or scraping any other cabinetry or appliance.
Drawing upon the company's dual refrigeration system (two separate cooling compressors for the refrigerator and freezer), Caruso built roomy and sealed compartments for dairy and vegetables, with independent temperature controls. His adjustable shelves are drip-proof. Moreover, he designed the customized units to be flexible. There are side-by-side refrigerator/freezers and refrigerators with pull out freezers below the waist for easy access. "What we've done," he explains, "is to create kitchen furniture."
About 10 years ago, Caruso invented the award-winning 700 series, a line of refrigerator and freezer cabinets and drawers that he says "literally took the refrigerator out of the box." The units can be integrated with the main system, placed under or over countertops, or installed in any room in the house. Other innovations include an automatic icemaker on the refrigerator-side door that produces crescent shape ice that doesn't stick to the side of the glass.
In 1998, Caruso introduced wine storage that can be built into counter tops or stand alone. The modern take on the old wine cellar has two independent adjustable temperature zones to perfectly chill white or red vintages, an electronic monitoring system, and a specially treated glass door that keeps out oxidizing ultraviolet light. More recently, he introduced a line of stylish, stainless steel framed refrigerators with transparent glass doors.
While Sub-Zero's price tags are considerable (about $1,100 for an undercounter refrigerator to $13,000 for a limited edition PRO 48, a 48-inch side-by-side refrigerator/freezer), it hasn't slowed down the company's business. Besides helping to spur six-figure kitchen remodellings across the nation, the product line has added nicely to Sub-Zero's bottom line.
Indeed, having a Sub-Zero in one's kitchen is not unlike having a Ferrari in your driveway. Real estate brokers regularly highlight a "Sub-Zero kitchen" in their listings. Jamie Drake, the head of Drake Design Associates in New York who renovated the official New York City mayoral residence, Gracie Mansion, in 2002, likens Sub-Zero to "an incredibly engineered car." Drake says the product lines "created a whole new concept to design and plan a kitchen" and have "redefined luxury refrigeration."
Three years ago, when Sub-Zero acquired Wolf Stove, the company dispatched Caruso to come up with a line of 25 different appliances. He created built-in ovens in polished stainless steel, with cobalt blue interiors and rotating control panels that can be hidden away from view. He also designed radiant, flat-touch stove-tops, oven racks that pull out and rest on the door, and warming drawers. His distinctive work for Wolf has helped propel the company, like Sub-Zero before it, to a praiseworthy spot in the luxury design pantheon.
Caruso, who likes to work solo -- even making his own prototypes -- is incredibly versatile. In 1998 he designed Reaction, a line of reasonably priced, ergonomic task chairs for furniture giant Herman Miller. It was in some ways a return to his earlier work. One of his initial product designs after returning to the U.S. was the first mass-produced, machine-made stack chair, in which the frame was held together by two bolts. Used by President Jimmy Carter during his inauguration in 1977, the Bi-Cast chair sits in the permanent collection at the Art Institute of Chicago.
A few years ago Caruso approached Herman Miller with the concept for a new chair surface. "I wanted to make a seat that was more flexible, had more variations, and had an outstanding design," he says. Caruso worked on it for two years and brought a prototype to the Zeeland (Mich.) furniture manufacturer.
The result is the Cella, which has 1,578 cells, or discs, joined by six loop springs in varying lengths covering the chair seat and back. It's designed to respond to the specific needs of the lower, middle, upper back, and lumbar regions of the body and costs between $564 and $984. "I call this intelligent seating," he says.
Although at a stage in his career where others might slow down or simply refine their existing designs, Caruso is on to new concepts. Next up: He is working on a line of office furniture, storage space, bookcases, and new ideas in seating. Looking back, the man who in April the Chicago Tribune dubbed "the King of Cool" says he has one regret. "I wish I was where I am at now, earlier. That way I'd have more time to do more things."

U.S. women paid less in all industries, every level: report
By Patricia Reaney
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Women in the United States are paid less for equal work than men in all industries and a new report released on Thursday showed the widest discrepancy in wages is between married men and women with children.
Fathers earned the highest overall median salaries at about $67,900, compared to $46,800 for married mothers, and single women with children had the lowest median salary at $38,200.
"The gender pay gap is absolutely real," said Aubrey Bach, senior editorial manager of PayScale Inc., the online salary, benefits and compensation information company that compiled the report.
"Half or more of our workforce is made of women but we are still not progressing at the same level as men," she added.
While men's salaries kept increasing until the age of 50 to 55, reaching a median salary of $75,000, the report showed women's wages hit a plateau between 35 to 40 years old at about $49,000.
The gender pay gap widened further as the job level increased with male executives earning many times more than their female counterparts.
PayScale calculated the gender pay gap by analyzing data from a poll of 1.4 million full-time employees. It used an algorithm to estimate the controlled median pay for women by adjusting for factors such as experience, education, skills, company size and management responsibility and other factors.
The report found the largest gender pay gaps in the mining, quarrying and gas exploration industries and the smallest in technology jobs, where the ratio of men to women is 70 to 30 percent. Continued...

Happy 4th!
Summer has officially begun with 80 degrees and full sun in the weather report for the next few days. I will be taking full advantage of this long weekend, filled with barbecues, lots of eating, wiffle ball, LA Galaxy game (gotta support the BF Becks) and of course fireworks. Hope everyone is getting out for some fun in the sun with their loved ones!

Which is more difficult, pavers vs lg blocks?
I haven't done any brick/paver patios yet. We have an area against our home that gets no sun, as the attached garage sticks out on that side.
I would like to make a 10x10 small patio to store some kiddie pool stuff and the like. The area has no grass and is all dirt and moist most of the time.
Initially I was going to put some 16x16 patio blocks on the dirt and be done with it, but the wife wants it "done the right way." Ugh.
So if I dig out the area (renting a dingo), put in the base, tamp it, screed the sand....which is easier? "Normal" size bricks or pavers from the big box stores, or these 16x16 patio blocks (probably 35-40lbs each).
I need to do the math as well....for 100 sq ft....the 16x16 were $2, which would be cheaper as well? (if someone knows quickly) :yes:
I am now wondering if more, smaller bricks would be easier than fewer heavier blocks?
The area will be more of a triangle actually...so there will be cuts to be made as well (with my 4" grinder??)
Thanks for the insight you may have!
I don't know...the home shows always say the brick part is the easiest, so maybe the smaller blocks would just be more time consuming.
I've done both and the only real differences are the look AND your back...
The base depth, material, and prep is exactly the same. If the look is irrelevant, then it's a matter of whether you want to be on your knees slinging a few 40lb 16x16 blocks or a bunch of small bricks.
p.s. D270 is right that laying them should be the easiest part if you've prepared the base correctly. Take the time to get the base right and the job will be much quicker all around. If you say "it's good enough", you'll be fighting the base (rocking pavers, uneven joints) the whole way and it will take much longer to reach the end. I say this from my rookie "long way" experience
My take on it is that the work is the same, so go with the final look you like better (99% of the time it's individual bricks).

Last Sunday, I was a Eucharistic Minister at Mass. At the end of communion, while I was still up at the altar, my pastor asked those who would be distributing communion to the homebound to come forward for a special blessing.
In his blessing, Father Jim asked that the sick be granted "a time of peace and grace" when they receive the Body of Christ. That simple phrase "a time of peace and grace" got me to thinking about the journey of health and healing that I have taken as a young widow and how my current sabbatical from work has enriched my life.
From time-to-time everyone has what I call a "bad hair day." I think you know what I mean: You get up on the wrong side of the bed and everything goes downhill from there.
You let the dog outside to do his morning business and when he comes back into the house with muddy paws (five minutes before you have to leave), you have no alternative but to stick him in the tub.
In your hurry to get to the office, you spill your morning cup of coffee on your only clean shirt, and to top it all off you get behind the ultimate slowpoke on your drive into work. When you arrive ten minutes late, your boss has already left you three messages concerning a new project that he needs your input on in less than an hour. Such is normal life!
Six years ago, when I was a newly minted widow, I prayed every single day for the goofy, mundane, normal hub-bub of daily life. During the preceding two years I had lost both my oldest son and husband to death. I was forced to make decisions that will follow me for the rest of my life. In the case of my son, I needed to decide whether it was time to unplug him from life support after brain death, and whether or not to donate his organs; while in my husband's case, I needed to decide on whether an autopsy would be performed to determine the exact cause of his death.
In both cases, I used my Catholic faith as a guide and thought about the acronym WWJD (What would Jesus do?) I had to choose a funeral home, a cemetery, in-ground burial or entombment in a mausoleum, headstones (in my husband's case whether I wanted a double headstone with my name on also or a single with just his name), obituaries and a host of other end of life decisions. There was no "small stuff." It was a time of chaos and confusion in my 40-something life.
Suddenly, I was in charge of every aspect of home ownership, parenting, and bread-winning. When I was young, my parents trained me to be a wife and mother. Dad never told me how to run a snow blower, shut off the main water valve to the house, how to change the oil or steering fluid in my car, how to change a furnace filter, what stocks I should invest in, or how to diagnose the problem when my son called to say that the furnace in his new house was making a knocking sound.
I was scared, lonely, devastated, and overwhelmed at the prospect of life on my own. I longed to take a sabbatical from work and learn how to deal with my life as a widow. I reasoned that if I could only have time to think, answers would surely come to me. I began to throw myself a "pity party" on a daily basis and cried until there were no more tears left to wipe.
When I suggested to my dad that I was contemplating quitting my job to stay at home for a while, he encouraged me to think that decision through. He reasoned that depression was getting the best of me and that I was better off for now with a daily routine. Sure I was: get up, work, come home, cry; repeat. I thought my dad was wrong, but since he seemed so adamant in his advice, I decided to wade through my days by just existing. I stopped eating, cut off most of my hair, dimmed down the make-up, wore loose fitting clothing and ugly glasses. People wondered what in heaven's name had become of me and so did I.
I soon stumbled across the book Widow to Widow by Genevieve Davis Ginsburg. The book contains thoughtful, practical ideas for rebuilding your life. There are five parts to the book and they are titled as follows: A Ton of Bricks, Rebuilding Your Life, From Widowhood to Selfhood, Besides Which, and Resources. This book covers everything from A-Z including how to turn off that main water valve, emptying closets and drawers, and the all important question "What am I without a man?"
After reading Widow to Widow I began to consume books on healing including On Grief and Grieving by Elizabeth Kubler Ross and David Kessler which delves into the five stages of grief which are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. And sure enough, I learned that I had only just begun to deal with my grief and that time and prayer would become my most intimate friends on this journey.
Years have passed since I took my first tentative steps down this path less traveled. It's been a long and arduous trip, but in my humble opinion I've become a proficient mechanic, a seasoned traveler, a single grandmother, and to my delight a "girlfriend" to a very charming widower who I met on CatholicMatch. Yes indeed, I have the world on a string. The only thing that was missing until last June was that sabbatical that I've always wanted to take.
When the company I was working for reorganized in June, I was downsized and a bit frightened to be at another crossroads in my life. But I quickly remembered that acronym "WWJD" and I smiled when I realized that old saying is really true, "When God closes a door He opens a window." I would probably never have sought a new and better job opportunity. Instead, I would have stayed in my safe and secure niche and never ventured out on my own. And I might add that had I not ventured out onto the CatholicMatch website two years ago, I most likely would have never met the handsome Mr. Right, who has changed my life forever in all the important ways.
I can't help but think that this sabbatical I am currently on is the most refreshing break that I have had during my lifetime. It has been the final step in healing my heart and mind which were so very troubled in my forties. I have found this year to be "a time of peace and grace." I am healthier than I have been in years, happy as a lark and in love with a wonderful guy!

A federal tax ID number and a federal employer identification number (FEIN) are the same thing. Every limited liability company is required to get a federal tax ID number from the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS uses an LLC's federal tax identification number to identify an LLC for tax purposes. Furthermore, certain vendors and suppliers will not conduct business with an LLC that does not have a federal tax ID number. In addition, banks require an LLC to have a federal tax ID to open a business bank account.
1. Log on to the IRS website, IRS.gov. Type "EIN" in the IRS search box. Click the link that says "apply online now." Read the instructions provided for obtaining an EIN. Click the "begin application" button. Click the "limited liability company" button when asked to identify the structure of the company. Provide information such as the nature of the company's business activities and the number of people employed by the LLC. LLCs that do not maintain an office in the U.S. will not be able to use the IRS website to apply for a federal tax ID number.
2. Call 800-829-4933 to speak with a representative from the IRS business and tax line. Keep information about the LLC handy so you can easily answer questions asked by the IRS representative. A representative of the LLC must provide a name, address and Social Security number. After the information is verified by the IRS representative, the LLC will receive a federal tax ID number that can immediately be used for business purposes. The IRS telephone application is available Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. LLCs that apply over the telephone will immediately receive their federal tax ID number.
3. Download and print Form SS-4 from the IRS website. Information may be typed into the form or written with a pen after printing the SS-4. Double-check to ensure that all questions are answered correctly. The SS-4 must include the signature of a person authorized to represent the LLC, such as a member or manager of the company. Fax the SS-4 to 859-669-5760 if the LLC maintains a business location in the United States. Fax the SS-4 to 215-516-1040 if the LLC does not have a business office in the United States. Provide a return fax number where the IRS can send the LLC's federal tax ID number. It may take up to four days for an LLC to receive a federal tax ID number when applying by fax.
4. Print the SS-4 from the IRS website. Answer all sections of Form SS-4 in the same manner indicated in Step 3. Check the SS-4 for errors. Sign the completed form and mail it to: Internal Revenue Service EIN Operation Cincinnati, OH 45999 This address is valid for LLCs that maintain a business office in the U.S. LLCs that do not have a business office in the U.S. must mail the SS-4 to: Internal Revenue Service EIN International Operation Philadelphia, PA 19255 LLCs that apply by mail may have to wait up to four weeks to receive an FEIN from the IRS.
5. Obtain a federal tax ID number by using a third-party service. You will have to pay a fee to do so, while LLCs that apply directly with the IRS are not charged a fee.

Averages for Paris in October
Weather overview
October is a very cool time of year to visit Paris, France, when the weather can be cold and wet. At this time of year, the average temperature starts off at 14°C on October 1st and drops down to 9.5°C by October 31st. Daily lows range from 6°C to 10°C, exceeding 14°C or falling below 2°C only one day out of every ten. Daily highs follow a similar pattern and fall from 18°C to 13°C over the course of the month, almost never rising above 23°C or dropping below 9°C.
The highest temperature which has ever been recorded in Paris in October in recent times is 29°C. On the other hand, the lowest temperature ever recorded during this month in the city is -3°C. When you look at these temperatures alongside the average for the month – 12°C – it's easy to see that they're the extremes and aren't what you should be prepared for during your holiday.
With an average of 25mm of rainfall divided amongst 13 days throughout the month, there's a very good chance you'll experience a shower or two, so be prepared and bring an umbrella with you. Moderate rain is the most common type of rain you'll experience if you visit Paris in October and around October 30th is when it's most likely to occur. Light rain is the second most likely type of precipitation you'll experience and tends to happen around October 23rd.
The probability of rainfall gradually increases as the month progresses, starting off at 49% on October 1st and rising up to 56% by October 31st. As you'd expect for an autumn month, October is affected by foggy conditions on an average of three days. On the plus side, snow is exceptionally unlikely to fall during this month.
The average sea temperature for the closest coastal location to Paris in October is 16°C. Although some swimmers may be able to handle it, this temperature is generally considered to be too cold to enjoy a dip. If you're determined to go swimming, you're best off sticking to indoor swimming pools. The average daily humidity for Paris in October is 79%, made up by lows of 59% and highs of 97%.
Throughout the month, Paris enjoys an average of six hours of sunshine each day – that's two hours less each day than in September. Across October, the sunshine and daylight hours both rapidly decrease, with the day shortening by one hour and 43 minutes between October 1st and October 31st.
The wind speeds fluctuate greatly over the course of a typical October, usually falling between 1 m/s and 6 m/s. The highest average wind speed of 4 m/s usually occurs around October 30th, when the highest average daily maximum wind speed is 6 m/s. On the other hand, the lowest average wind speed of 4 m/s tends to happen around October 1st, when the average daily maximum wind speed is 6 m/s.

Things to do
A trip to Paris isn't complete without stopping by the Musee du Louvre, on the Right Bank in the 1st arrondissement. This gallery is one of the most famous in the world and is home to the internationally-renowned Mona Lisa portrait and world-famous Venus de Milo statue. Here you'll find more than 35,000 objects from prehistory to the 21st century which are divided between themed temporary and permanent exhibitions which cover more than 60,600 square metres. The best way to experience the art gallery is by signing up for one of the guided tours. But if you're on a tight budget, you can download one of the app guides or follow the thematic visitor trails instead. After you're finished exploring the art gallery, chill out in one of the cafes or restaurants before hitting the gift shop on your way out.
Flight Experience gives you the opportunity to be a pilot for a day and take the controls of a simulation Boeing 737-800. This popular attractions was the first to open its doors to the public and offers an experience for all levels – from absolute beginners to professional pilots. Each simulation takes place in an entry-level training device and you'll be accompanied by a fully qualified pilot in case you need assistance. There are several different itineraries to choose from, including single flights, scenic flights, city circuits, multi-city fliers and ultimate flights which you can share with up to two other friends or family members. Flight experience is open every day from 10am until 10pm.
For something more historical, how about visiting Les Catacombes? These catacombs are underground ossuaries which hold the remains of around six million civilians, earning them the title of "The World's Largest Grave". Les Catacombes has been open to the public since the late 18th century and has regularly hosted temporary exhibits ever since. In 2014, the maain exhibition was "The Sea in Paris" which allowed visitors to learn all about the geological heritage of the catacombs which began around 45 million years ago. Details about this year's main exhibition have yet to be reveleaed, so check the website closer to the time to see what will be on during your holiday. In addition to signing up for the temporary exhibition, you can also go on a catacomb discovery tour – available in English at least once each week – to find out everything there is to know about the underground cemetery.
The Musee National des Arts Asiatiques-Guimet is a fantastic place to visit if you're looking for a break from French art and culture. This exotic museum provides you with a direct route to Asia through all sorts of artwork, ranging from Buddha figures and Samurai armour made in Japan to Indian textiles and Chinese fine art. In addition to the permanent collections, you'll find ongoing workshops, activities and events suitable for all ages here. Highly regarded as the largest museum devoted to Asian art in Europe, the Musee National des Arts Asiatiques-Guimet is also home to a café and a bookshop where you can pick up gifts for friends and family back home.
Montmartre is one of the most popular neighbourhoods in Paris and it's no wonder why. With winding streets to explore, plenty of tourist attractions, cafes, wine bars, restaurants and shops, there's loads to see and do here. This section of Paris always has a very colourful atmosphere, with locals and visitors merging together in the streets, boutiques and eateries. Whilst Montmartre is very pleasant to visit during the daytime, the best time to visit is just before sunset. Grab yourself a glass of wine at one of the many bars and watch the sun set in the distance before the night sets in and the twinkling lights of Paris turn on. Some of Montmartre's highlights include Sacre Coeur, Place du Tertre, the district of Pigalle and the historic quarter of Nouvelle Athènes.

The Art of Transformation
Now on View at SFO
SAN FRANCISCO – The Art of Transformation, a new exhibition at San Francisco International Airport, features more than sixty masks made by Igbo craftsman Ugbozo Ozooha-Aga of Obiama, Nigeria. Collected by anthropologist William R. Bascom in 1945, the masks on view" are part of a unique collection of more than one hundred masks produced by a single African woodcarver, and probably the only available 'one-man show' of traditional African art." The carvings in this exhibition embody an incredible range of styles. As Bascom himself described, "Large and small, simple and complex, roughly carved or carefully finished, abstract or realistic, these masks represent terrifying spirits, humorous figures, and beautiful women."
Dating circa 1930 to 1945, the masks were used by the Igbo (pronounced Ee-boh) of southeast
Nigeria during masked performances held to honor ancestors, insure bountiful crops, teach moral
lessons, and entertain audiences at festivals. Largely carved from wood and painted,
some of the masks are also embellished with raffia, and two raffia costumes are also on display.
The Art of Transformation is located pre-security in the International Terminal Main Hall. The exhibition is on view, free of charge, through October 2009.
Downloadable images are available at:
This exhibition was made possible through a generous loan from the Phoebe A. Hearst
Museum of Anthropology, University of California at Berkeley, with special thanks to Research
Anthropologist Ira Jacknis.

Citation: Knight, A.L., Light, D.M., Hilton, R., Alston, D. 2010. The Importance of Pear Ester in Codling Moth Monitoring and Management. Good Fruit Grower 61(5):40-41. Interpretive Summary: Codling moth is an important pest of apple, pear, and walnut with a worldwide distribution. Control sprays applied for this pest comprise a significant proportion of the total insecticide usage in these crops. ARS researchers at the USDA, ARS, Yakima Agricultural Research Laboratory, Wapato, WA in collaboration with an ARS scientist in Albany, CA and several university researchers have developed several uses of pear ester to monitor and manage codling moth more effectively. At present, pear ester added to sex pheromone is the most effective monitoring lure in the market. An alternate use of pear ester is to combine it with acetic acid to more effectively monitor female moths. A microencapsulated spray and a hand-applied dispenser loaded with pear ester also provide new more effective management tools. Registration of these two materials is expected within the next two years in the USA and in other countries.
Technical Abstract: Following the discovery of the attractiveness of pear ester for adult and larvae of codling moth research has developed this ripe pear volatile to improve the monitoring and management of this key pest of apple, pear, and walnut. A lure loaded with pear ester and codlemone has become the most widely used lure in orchards treated with sex pheromone for mating disruption. The combination of pear ester with acetic acid in a clear delta trap now allows female codling moth to be more easily monitored. The addition of a microencapsulated formulation of pear ester can improve the performance of some insecticides. This material can also be effective in disrupting adults. Hand-applied dispensers loaded with pear ester and pheromone have been shown to be more effective in disrupting virgin female-baited traps than pheromone alone. Registrations for these pear ester-based control materials should occur within the next two years.

From OP article:
There is a reason the Corps has a bulldog for a mascot and that he is named after the famously gutsy Marine Lt. Gen. Lewis "Chesty" Puller. Even within a service that values discipline, there is a certain mystique about a Marine who's willing to poke a paw in the eye of powerparticularly in defense of the homeland, or kennel.
End quote.
They need to name the next Marine mascot after Gunnery Highway
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: [approaching Highway] Just what the hell do you think you're doing?
Highway: Just enjoying the view, sir.
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: Well, you disobeyed an order. I told you to stay in contact and not take this hill without me. Damn it! Get on your feet, Highway!
Highway: With all due respect, sir, you're beginning to bore the hell out of me.
[sees the helicopter landing and Colonel Meyers getting out]
Colonel Meyers: Who's in charge here?
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: I am, sir. Major Malcolm Powers.
Colonel Meyers: Did you lead this assault?
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: Sir, Leutenant Ring and Gunnery Sergeant Highway disobeyed a direct order. I told them to wait for support but they went up this hill anyway.
Colonel Meyers: [to Highway] Why?
Highway: We're Marines, sir. We're paid to adapt, to improvise.
Lieutenant M.R. Ring: Sir, I gave the order to take this hill.
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: Ring, this is going to ruin your career.
Colonel Meyers: Are you new to the infantry, Major?
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: Yes, sir. Just came over from supply.
Colonel Meyers: Were you good at that?
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: Yes, sir!
Colonel Meyers: Well then, stick to it because you're a walking cluster Bleep as an infantry officer. My men are hard chargers, Major! Leutenant Ring and Gunny Highway took a handfull of young fire pissers, exercised some personal initiative and kicked ass!

A Tribute to Christopher Neo
Filed under: Current Affairs and Politics, Dr Wong Wee Nam
By Dr Wong Wee Nam
15 August 2012
I was shocked to hear the news of Christopher Neo's sudden demise. It was only two weeks ago that I had lunch with him and Dr Elaine Chng at a coffee shop in Clementi. He was his usual cheerful self and certainly a picture of decent health. At that time, he told me that he was going to retire from politics. Who would have thought he would be going out in this manner?
I first met Chris when he was a very young man in 1996. He was very promising — a person with very good manners, very polite, extremely humble, a graduate from a British university, good looking, and he came from a family which had a road named after a relative. It was no wonder that when I introduced him to Dr Chng at that time, she took an instant liking to him.
The Meaning of Our Pledge
Filed under: Current Affairs and Politics, Dr Wong Wee Nam
By Dr Wong Wee Nam
02 August 2012
All adult Singapore citizens have learned to say the Pledge. However, a lot still cannot recite it with complete accuracy. Quite a good number do not really know what it means.
When asked what the Pledge means to us as citizens on this National Day, some say it means "one united people" or some variation of this, and others say "it's about multi-racialism" or something about religious tolerance. So far, I have yet to hear someone saying that the Pledge is a solemn vow by the person reciting it to build a democratic society based on justice and equality.
To most people, the National Pledge seems to read something like this: "We, the citizens of Singapore pledge to be one united people, and live harmoniously with people of different races and religions, so as to achieve happiness, prosperity and progress for our nation." This is vocabulary that has been ingrained in their minds in spite of having recited it for the 12 years when they were in school. No one remembers the vow to build a democratic society based on justice and equality.
SDP on Cabinet reshuffle: PR exercise or genuine response to the people's needs?
Filed under: Singapore Democratic Party
The changes to the cabinet and the introduction of the new ministries by the Prime Minister (PM) are accompanied by little useful information but much public relations puff.
Statements like Singapore entering a "new phase of development", the need to "strengthen our families", and focusing on "building a cohesive and vibrant society" have been stock phrases that the PAP makes whenever it feels the need to assuage Singaporeans about its policies.
What Singaporeans want to hear are specifics on how the Government will reform its wrong-headed policy of allowing the sudden and massive increase of foreigners into this country. Making motherhood statements like promoting "harmonious communal relations" is meaningless and changes nothing in reality.
Media Literacy Council is yet another attempt at stifling dissent
Filed under: Current Affairs and Politics
Written by Ng E-Jay
01 August 2012
The Media Literacy Council (MLC) which will be set up on 01 August 2012 is yet another attempt by the government to control and stifle dissenting voices on the internet. Far from promoting media literacy, the MLC will instead be promoting media illiteracy, which is what the ruling PAP has been promoting for the past 50 years.
Spearheaded by Media Development Authority (MDA) and chaired by Professor Tan Cheng Han from the National University of Singapore's Law Faculty, the MLC said it aimed to "partner government bodies, private sector organisations, community groups and social media influencers to raise awareness of media literacy issues across all online and offline media platforms, and promote a safe, secure and civil media environment for all".

Computer button battery
For the last three days I have had to reset my computer time and date
It will always go's back to I guess the manf. date 2001.
I'm sure this is caused by the computer battery in side the case ?
If you agree I will collect my tools and see if I can do this right ?
Any other ideas ? :whistling2:
If it IS the battery, be sure you don't go to a computer store to buy a new one.... they charge $14.00 at a place here for the same battery you can get at the office supply chain store for $2.00.....
Just pull the one you have and take it with you to match the #s.
Usually, no tools are necessary for a MB battery once you open the case.
Yep, probably just the CMOS battery.
Easy replacement. You can spot the battery a mile away on any given motherboard; just depress the metal tab and the battery pops right out.
computer battery
Yep !!
It took about five min. to change and best of all I had one on hand.
Robut :whistling2:
Good deal.
Not all computers use the 'button' battery. Some use batterys that have leads and a connector at the end.
These ones are not likely to be found at an office supply store. :huh:
I have only seen those on antique MBs though.... not any newer ones.
Not to say they don't still use them though.
I'm working on a HP laptop right now, and it uses a buttton battery.
It's almost always a CR2032 lithium cell.

Zakk Wylde cover of Revolver, including Black Label Society Patch, Available now
Black Label Society frontman Zakk Wylde graces the newsstand cover of Revolver's September/October 2010 issue, paying homage to recently deceased fantasy artist Frank Frazetta's painting Death Dealer II. Included with every Zakk Wylde copy of the issue is an exclusive, limited-edition Black Label Society patch featuring the cover art of the metal band's new album, Order of the Black (E1).
In the cover story, the always hilarious Wylde talks about why he got sober, all the travails he's faced in the past couple of years—from getting dismissed from Ozzy's band to almost dying from blood clots in his lungs—and what gives him the strength to persevere.
In celebration of the issue, Wylde is making some rare in-store appearances, signing copies of his Revolver and Guitar World covers. Upcoming appearances include New York and Seattle. Click here for more info.
An alternate cover of this issue of Revolver features hard rockers Stone Sour (scroll down to see it). In the mag, Corey Taylor and Jim Root, also of Slipknot, who are known for their angsty and aggressive songs, talk about what it's like to record an album while happy. They tell the story of how they came to make their killer new album, Audio Secrecy (Roadrunner).
Additional stories in this action-packed issue include:
- A 10-page complete oral history of the making of Pantera's Cowboys From Hell, featuring all of the surviving members
- Iron Maiden: Is this their last album?
- A rare joint interview between Slayer's Kerry King and Megadeth's Dave Mustaine
- Disturbed take on the Environment and Lemmy Kilmister
- Murderdolls take a tour of Hollywood's Museum of Death
The issue is on newsstands everywhere now.

"What discussions has the minister had with regional cultural consortia on policies to promote social inclusion?"
The minister, Estelle Morris, could barely be heard above the noise of Tories sniggering and gurgling.
"The regional cultural consortia," she tried to explain, "are the department's strategic cultural bodies in the regions and we communicate with them regularly on a range of policy issues including social inclusion."
The snorting and chuckling continued. Ms Quin, it turns out, wanted the Lindisfarne Gospels returned to the north-east, though what this might have to do with social inclusion was also unclear.
Perhaps she feared that government policy was biased against the minority community of near-sighted monks in dank scriptoria, illuminating manuscripts by the light of guttering candles.
Patrick McLoughlin, a Tory, had had enough. He stood up and demanded: "In New Labour-speak, could the min ister explain what this question means?"
Ms Morris went straight off onto a screed of programmed talk. (New Labour ministers resemble those old Telex machines.
You feed a pre-punched tape into them, and they start chattering and clacking. Like the machines, they don't understand what they are communicating.)
"It means that we agree with devolving to the front line; we want to set its own priorities, to be a regional voice."
What this means, of course, is "we want more people from minority groups to see good shows", but nobody can put it like that. If it were in plain talk people would be able to make judgments, to say "this has worked" or "this one failed". But if it's in New Labour speak, it is as elusive and impossible to measure as a rainbow.
Peter Kilfoyle (Liverpool Walton) rose to blame the BBC for the "disgraceful" violence in Liverpool last Saturday after Manchester United beat Everton in the FA Cup.
It was also the FA's fault for "rolling over" to meet the BBC's scheduling demands. (The match started in the early evening, after many fans had spent the afternoon getting drunk.)
Quite why the BBC and the FA should be blamed because a bunch of Liverpudlians were pissed and violent, he did not explain. But I think in view of events, it might be an idea for the population of the city to come south and apologise to Boris Johnson.
Next we got a flavour of the coming discussion over the new prevention of terrorism bill, to be published today. Peter Hain came to tell us how the business of the house would be adjusted to allow the bill to go through.
But it won't be adjusted by much, because - fully three years after 9/11 - this bill, of huge and even historical importance is getting only two days to go through all its stages. This is much less time than would ever be allotted to the Paper Doilies (health and safety provisions) bill.
The Tories, not always in the front line when it comes to civil liberties, were appalled. Bob Marshall-Andrews, a Labour MP who is permanently appalled by New Labour, declared that the bill would turn out to be the "greatest attack on the liberties of the British people for 300 years".
Millions of people would share the Tories' concerns, he said - words which would normally stick in his craw like a poisoned macaroon in the gullet of Rasputin.
Today descendants of both sides in the Gunpowder plot, meet at the Commons to announce festivities for the 400th anniversary this year. I dread to imagine what Mr Marshall-Andrews would have made of their civil liberties record then.


text: NEW YORK, July 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Global X Funds, the New York-based provider of exchange traded funds, launched today the Global X Brazil Financials ETF (ticker: BRAF). This is the first ETF to offer targeted access to the rapidly growing Brazilian financial sector. The Global X Brazil Financials ETF tracks the Solactive Brazil Financials Index, which is designed to track the performance of the Brazilian financial sector. As of July 20, 2010, the largest index components were banks Itau Unibanco, Banco Bradesco and Banco do Brasil. The financial sector in Brazil is large and benefits from a decade of restructuring. Brazilian loan portfolio values far exceed that of any other Latin American country, and are five-fold higher than second-ranking country Mexico, according to BNamericas data. Brazilian M&A deals reported by Dealogic in Q1 2010 were worth $37.8 billion and double the deal flow posted a year ago. Financial investment in Brazil is expected to grow by 22% annually through year 2020, according to Itau Unibanco. " Brazil is establishing itself as the financial center of the region, thanks to strong macroeconomic trends over the past half decade of decreasing fiscal debt and unemployment, rising credit and industrial production," says Bruno del Ama, CEO of Global X Funds. "Such trends plus favorable projections give a solid platform for financial sector growth going forward. The Global X Brazil Financial ETF provides efficient access to these themes." The Brazil Financials ETF (BRAF) is part of a family of Brazil ETFs, which includes the Global X Brazil Consumer ETF (BRAQ) and Brazil Mid Cap ETF (BRAZ) that were recently launched on July 8 and June 22, respectively. Other members of the fund family yet to launch include the Brazil Industrials, Materials, and Utilities ETFs.

When Roosevelt Ditched the Gold Standard
As the U.S. banking crisis ebbed in early 1933, central-bank gold reserves were rising, and gold-based currency notes were steadily flowing back into accounts. The country was experiencing a positive balance of trade.
"Not one of the conditions usually attendant to a suspension of gold payments was present at the time," the Economist magazine would write in May.
Yet on April 20, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an executive order banning the export of gold to settle international accounts. This followed an April 5 executive order that removed gold from commercial circulation and an April 17 decision to sever the dollar's value from gold's price, "letting it float."
Given that the U.S. possessed more than one-third of the world's supply of the metal, what was going on?
After years of contraction and deflation, rural Democrats called for abandoning the gold standard, devaluing the dollar and thus making exports cheaper and imports more expensive, all of which they hoped would increase the prices of farm products.
Their critics argued that such maneuvers could set off uncontrollable inflation. Former German Foreign Minister Richard von Kuehlmann compared it to the runaway price increases that crashed post-armistice Germany's financial system.
If the U.S. left the gold standard, he said, "Germany would have to go off the gold standard immediately, and France would eventually have to follow. A race for the worst currency would result because of the advantages of depreciation."
But von Kuehlmann failed to note the dramatic differences between Germany's postwar military and economic collapse and the more placid circumstances that prevailed in the U.S. in 1933.
In late April, Yale professor of political economy James Harvey Rogers argued for calm: "Once the excitement of leaving the gold standard is over, the depreciation of the dollar, in the absence of other inflationary measures, is unlikely to remain great."
When Britain was forced off the gold standard in 1931, the pound's value gradually slid from almost $5 to about $3.60, making it difficult for U.S. exporters to sell to the U.K. and its empire. When the U.S. abandoned the gold standard, the pound began steadily appreciating toward its earlier dollar level, cheering U.S. traders.
Complaints surfaced. Americans living abroad experienced increasingly unfavorable exchange rates, and some American bankers wanted the whole global process unwound, with the U.K. and the U.S. both returning to the gold standard.
But the plan to arrest deflation was working.
"We blinked and shuddered, but at last everybody realized that we were irrevocably off of gold," economist Stuart Chase wrote. "Whereupon prices of raw materials and common stocks began to shoot upward, the unmistakable sign of inflation. After almost four years of grinding deflation, with prices, wages, profits, standards of living whirling in a vicious spiral downward, the process halts as the gold standard publicly collapses, and prices begin to turn upward."
Ending deflation was fundamental, but would quitting the gold standard lead to economic revival?

None of the above I should mind my own business.
None of the above I should take pictures for the media
If the stars are all aligned and the situation allows you to do so-I am grateful for any type of help I can get. I stopped being superman many years ago.
But that's just one opinion.
What Would Gumby Do?
Arkansas has pretty plain language that dictates when you can help an officer. Its pretty simple, if you are ASKED by the officer to render assistance then you are covered by law and protected by the same laws that he is.
The key here is that the officers ASKS. On that note, if I am getting whooped, I might ask anyone around to help. As already noted, it may not be the ideal thing to just jump in without some communication. Since most Officers do deal with Domestic Disputes occasionally, its not unusuall for freinds or family members of the one the Officer is trying to arrest to jump in and help their buddy.
That can really mess things up...as you dont know if they are there to help you or whoever it is you are trying to arrest. If the Officers ASKS for help it is one thing, but just acting on your own no matter how honest or good your intentions are, can have the officer treating you as a badguy until he can prove otherwise.
The key here is Communication. If an Officer appears to be in trouble ask if he needs help. If he does he will say so, otherwise dont. Of course if one is unconsious and cant respond, then more than likely you will be covered by various "Good Samaritan" laws. Just be aware that when backup arrives the rest of them wont know if you are a goodguy trying to help or a badguy trying to finish him off.
There is alot to think about when "jumping" in and alot that one needs to be aware of.
Universal Background Checks...the next step towards registration and confiscation.

It spells out in plain language the black, white and unfortunate gray areas of the current laws. Both from him and another criminal defense lawyer I got the advice that under the new law things may not be a clear cut as the public thinks. If they determine, for instance, that you had any part of influencing that felony by so much as verbal misdeeds, you're toast.
They also still recommend retreat if possible without risk. They feel there are many prosecutors looking for test cases to try the new laws. You don't want to be a test case!
Know the law, not the rumors!
As for coming to the aid of a uniformed officer it'd better be pretty clear he needs help and that I'm actually capable of helping. I'm to old and banged up to get in a wrestling match but I'm not going to watch an officer get trashed if he's on the losing end of a life and death struggle.
If you stand up and be counted, from time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good. ~ Thomas J. Watson, Jr.
Any time a LEO is outnumbered or about to be killed or seriously injured it would be my moral obligation to come to the LEOs aide
I most vigorously disagree!!...render the first aid! First aid is not brain surgery. Your first aid in those few minutes could very well save that person's life. Every minute counts when someone is seriously injured. Nay, every second counts! Not providing first aid because 911 has already been called and help is on the way is tantamount to negligence. First aid is first aid...even holding someone's hand can be first aid. EMS renders a bit more than just first aid.A person should not provide First Aid unless the person knows what they are doing. Especially if EMS is on the way.
As for the LEO assistance secenarion, I heard/read somewehere that the best thing you could do if you want to help is to approach carefully and ASK the LEO if he needs assistance and only if he says yes and ONLY following his directions.
You have to make the shot when fire is smoking, people are screaming, dogs are barking, kids are crying and sirens are coming.

Those who would, deny, require permit, license, certification, or authorization for me to bear arms are as vile, dangerous & evil as those who would molest, abuse, assault, rape or murder my family
I would not get involved in a chase or apprehension. But if I saw an officer's life was in danger I would get involved.
Most cops I know feel this way, they want help if needed.
Not sure about getting involved if some one's life is not in danger but if it's a life or death situation I WILL try to render any assistance the LEO wants/needs.
I don't think i have ever seen this many options in a poll :)
Everyone in every previous post is correct. For what they would do. How I would react in each situation as a 21 yr cop would be different than how I would expect a 21 year old to react.
The ultimate goal is for everybody to go home safely. You, the Cop, and even the bad guy if possible.
Decisions made in the blink of an eye will be discussed, argued and armchair quarterbacked for years.
Shooting someone may be the end for them. But it's just the beginning for you.

I carry a .45 because they don't make a .46
There are just too many variables in real life that simply cannot be covered in a discussion forum poll. That said, you are best to use your own discretion and be prepared to take whatever lumps come your way.
As for the Fist Aid thing goes, and not to sound like one more wolf jumping on fresh meat, applying pressure to bleeding is not brain surgery. It isn't like you are trying to remove the bullet and stitch the wound. I carry a first aid kit, not a trauma bag.

Podcast: Go See 12 Years a Slave, All Is Lost, But Avoid CBGB
Chiwetel Ejiofor in 12 Years a Slave
On this week's Voice Film Club podcast, Village Voice film editor Alan Scherstuhl and LA Weekly film critic Amy Nicholson disagree on Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave—a beautifully shot film, contrasting the all-too-visible evil of mankind.
They endorse All is Lost, a genuine nail-biter, scrupulously made and fully involving, elemental in its simplicity.
Voice music editor Brian McManus joins Alan to discuss CBGB, a movie about the NYC rock club that should probably be avoided.
Amy has five new Netflix recommendations; Brian encourages us to check out A Band Called Death, out on Netflix now; and Alan suggests the 316-minute Eight Deadly Shots.

Fix Windows 7 Restart Problems Using Free Bootable Recovery Disk
Recently Microsoft released a security update KB2823324 for Windows 7 users to fix some issues found in Windows file system kernel-mode driver (ntfs.sys). Unfortunately this security update caused a big problem for many Windows 7 users. Lots of users who installed this update and restarted their computer system, couldn't boot again in Windows. Users started receiving random error messages at startup such as:
- The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.
- The Session Manager Initialization system process terminated unexpectedly. The system has shutdown.
- Windows failed to start. A Recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
- The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
- File system is corrupt, Windows failed to restart, etc.
Also if the user was using Kaspersky antivirus in Windows 7, it stopped functioning with the error message "Your license is not valid".
Microsoft acknowledged the problem and immediately removed the download links of the update and also provided recovery steps to fix the restart problems in those Windows 7 computers. These recovery steps require you to access System Recovery Options using F8 keys or Windows 7 setup disc which is not an easy task for normal users.
To make the task easier, Microsoft is now providing a free recovery disk image to Windows 7 users who are facing this restart problem. This recovery disk is available in an ISO image format. You just need to download the ISO image file and then you can create a bootable DVD or USB drive using any freeware mentioned here. After that you'll need to boot your computer system using this recovery disk and it should automatically fix the problem.
Please remember that:
- This recovery disk will not run on old hardware (pre 2004) that does not support NX.
- This will only run on Windows 7 32-bit installations.
- It will not work if Bitlocker is enabled.
Interested people can download the recovery disk using following link:
Download Bootable Recovery Disk for Windows 7
The ISO image size is 220.5 MB and can be used in Windows 7 32-bit with or without Service Pack 1 (SP1).

The one thing you probably don't know about construction Internet domains6/2/2014 at 9:15 am by Heather Kuss
A few weeks ago I ran across a posting on Google+ about a new generic top level domain (gTLD), .build, that just became available in May. As I started to research .build, I found that there were other domains that became available in the past few months: .construction and .builders. Did you know these existed?
With names being harder to come by using .com and .net, these new gTLDs provide new options for "anyone who builds anything."1 One of the founders George Minardos said "We are on the cusp of another Internet revolution in the way that people seek, search, and conduct business online. This is an amazing opportunity for established businesses and entrepreneurs to innovate and create new revenue opportunities utilizing our .build domain. We're seeing a great deal of interest today, during this pre-registration period, where consumers and businesses can jump ahead in the marketplace." 2
