Using Circuits And Copyright Issues
COUNTLESS times I have given amp comanies and online electronical buffs ideas and designs and they've been used.
My problem is that my education in audio/musical electronics is that of a novice hobbyist.
So I am at the mercy of the internet and all the ppl good enough to offer their circuits and expertise.
Here's the issue. I have been given the opportunity to design and build an amp. Since I am not an engineer this means using FREELY POSTED CIRCUITS FOUND ONLINE.
Now once these circuits are combined and I've made some mods and alterations, I am clear of breaking copyright laws.
However, I know how I felt when my designs were used and the conditions I made if they were to be used were not fullfilled. (CRATE!!!!!!!)
The difference here is the circuits I'm using were GIVEN to EVERYONE.
The sites I pulled them from clearly said feel free to use them and modify them.
Sooooo, once I do this and if by chance my amp went to market, am I going to have these ppl angry over this???
I mean they say yes I can use it, anyone can, but if I were to profit from it they are going to have issue?
If so why even give this information away???
I'm just trying to get my feet on the ground and possibly get an income.
Bottom line is the major guitar and music related corporations producing gear get a lot of their circuits and product ideas online from DIY sites such as this one.
So what's everyones feelings on this??????

I'm not a lawyer, so take these comments in that context:
You cannot copyright a circuit. You can copyright a board pattern or a particular drawing (e.g., a schematic).
A circuit may or may not be patentable, but you lose many rights by disclosing it before patenting. Patents are expensive and normally difficult to enforce.

Right on
Thanks, I was also familar with this much information though.
....copyrighting a schematic essentiially is protecting your circuit, that is why I worded it that way.
And yeah, protecting anything is a joke now days. Everyone infringes copyrights more than anything.
China seems to disreguard all global patent laws and anyone in the U.S.A. that breaks them you have to sue for royalties.
I have even read of many cases where the person suing lost their patent rights!!!
My main concern is how the guys donating these circuits feel.

Re: Right on
You cannot copyright a circuit by copyrighting the schematic drawing. The copyright protects only the drawing itself, not the circuit it shows. There are indeed a great many schematics floating around on the net with some kind of "licensing agreement". Some prohibit commercial use of the circuit shown, which is legally irrelevant.
You can only protect the design (meaning appearance) of your product, your trademarks, logos, product literature... And of course, you can try to get a patent for your very special circuit topologies...
That said, there is of course the moral issue. You probably know how much effort is needed to even make a simple circuit sound right. I don't like others to simply copy my design and make profit from my hard work. But I can only ask them to desist.
Simply copying a complete design is very different from being inspired by other's ideas. This is how progress is made. If everybody would have to start from scratch, where would we be now?

Just think of the countless hours guitarists all over the world will spend playing music through your great design, and how happy they will be with how great it sounds..
(then share the design with us )

This is a big world, and a lot of things we think up are not so unique as we think, and many are things that any person who has some background can come up with. Taking a Plexi front end and mating it to a BAssman power amp is not unique even if you thought it up on your own. They call this sort of thing "obvious" sort of in the sense that dumping poppy seeds into the ranch dressing would occur to most any chef at some point even if they had never seen it.
I suspect that the design departments at the big factories are not culling circuits here and places like here. They can design anything they want. What they might find by surfing is features and performance things that buyers want. In other words, if you design and offer up some preamp with three separate channels - three sets of controls - and lots of people are asking for such a thing, they wouldn't steal your schematic, they would just write down "three channel, separate controls" and go make it happen. They would have to build your circuit to hear it to decide whether to steal it or not, and they wouldn't bother.
One has to consider how many communications Fender or Peavey or whomever receives. They are not so much looking at a design someone sends them for circuit ideas, they are counting how many times someone asks for what that circuit does. If I come up with a swell bias selector that cleverly switches between cathode and fixed bias sources adn offer it to Fender, I can count on them having already thought of it. But when a lot of folks write in asking for such or suggesting it or even offering the design, THEN they consider putting it in an amp. But they don't need me to tell them how. What was the last time you saw something really innovative in a tube amp? All the amps I see through my shop are essentially the same. Only the details differ. Ther are different phase splitters, and diferent bias systems. One, two, three channels, high gain. low gain, whatever. EL84, 6L6, 50 watt, 100 watt. But under the skin, one is like another.
But if you get a new schematic for a tube amp, other than that it may be drawn in a clumsy fashion, is there ever any real surprises? What in the world does this circuit do? Not often. Last time I had an aha was the noise reduction diodes in a Peavey XXX. Now they have used them in the new JSX, but they added a pot across them to make the effect adjustable. That improvement was obvious once the diode concept was there. But I would be real surprised that the diode idea was really new in the engineering community.
I recently modded an amp for a guy - some little Traynor something - and he wanted a bit of a gain boost. I noticed the input stage was unbypassed, so I added a bypass cap to up the gain a bit. Further, I put a 1 meg resistor in series with the bottom end of the cap and added a footswitch jack to short across the resistor. That way the cap can be essentially switched in and out with a footswitch. The resistor was there to keep the cap charged so there was no pop when the switch was pushed. The guy liked it, it was just enough without destroying the character of the amp.
I didn't steal the circuit, I just did what was obvious from knowledge of circuits. I suspect there are amps with exactly that circuit in it, and to share the idea with another tech, all I would have to do was say "bypass the cathode in V1" He wouldn't have to streal my drawings. ANd if he never talked to me, I bet he could have come up with it. There are numerous ways to affect gain in a stage, but bypass is at the top of most lists. Or at least high up.
And if I am just recombining stages from other places, I can't expect much protection. Turn the cheeseburger upside down and you do not have a new sandwich.
I mean no ill by this, it is hard to watch something you did fly off into the sunset. If I tell a joke to someone, I can count on it being retold - if it is any good - and I will get no credit. And I do write my own - if the ones I steal are used up. But one must look at his work and be really cold about what about this is really unique. Changing component values, adding a cathode follower before the tone stack, switchable rectifiers or bias ir sag resistors, selectabel bypass components, adjustable anything that would normally be fixed, and so on are not really innovations. if I sit down with a blank page, I can draw an amp in short order. I don't have the Bassman committed to menory, but i bet my design would be very close to the Bassman because the circuitry in the Bassman is right out of the manuals. My hour of work, and the time spent massaging the values would result in something that sounded good, but I would have been reinventuing the wheel.
You want unique? COme up with a direct drive push-pull output. Might need a new speaker type and who knows what, but I have never seen it. But there would also need to be a reason to do it. MAybe a true differential input, or the whole damned amp is differential - or would that just be balanced? Nah, mic pres already do that. Maybe some sort of tube servo circuit. I don't know, I am not that creative.
The other side of the coin is that when you are putting together parts of other things, what if anything are you really stealing? No one can come after you for using a 1.5k resistor in the cathode and a 100k plate resistor. Just about any bypas cap you can think of has been used. Want a constant current diode instead? Been done. Pick your favorite tone stack. If it is the same as Fender, point out it is also the same as Marshall with a bit diferent part values. For you to have stolen a circuit wou;d require the offended entity to demonstrat that it was unique to their circuitry in the first place. If you decide to use LDRs for channel switching, Mesa can hardly object. If you use Cliff jacks instead of switchcrafdt, Crate can't *****. In other words, what is in your design that is so unique that the company you got it from can claim it.
I think the only thing you would be concerned about is out and out cloning and selling them as such.

designs stolen......
Actually all the big amp companies do seem to cull these sites looking for new designs.....I'm not saying specific circuits but circuit ideas and overall amp designs.
They are looking for inovative and cutting edge designs that will appeal to the modern guitarists. The tube crowd is growing smaller and smaller and they have already cornered and satisfied that market. Hence the reason we see very few new tube models coming out from the big name manufacturers.
I have actually had several VERY unique designs stolen from me by Crate and now VOX.
Unless your circuit makes up a device that has never existed, you can't easily patent it. You can copyright it but someone needs to make one minor alteration and they are no longer copyright infringing.
DESIGNS however are a totally different story. You can design an amp without even having the skills to engineer it, copyright that design and be protected. If a manufacturer produces something similar to your design, you do in fact have a case.
I made the mistake of not doing so then posting my designs on sites such as this one asking for engineering advice.
I also foolishly submitted some design ideas to Crate who used them against the terms they were offered. I got nothing and they now have a several new models.
In such cases it had nothing to do with circuit design, simply model design.
......Odd that the shell of things is protected and the guts basically are not.

Biggest Loser in the World: Jim Inhofe
Biggest Loser in the World: Jim Inhofe
by BooMan
Thu Feb 14th, 2013 at 01:39:25 PM EST
If you think that John McCain is a grumpy old man who shouts at clouds, he's got nothing on Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma. Neither of them can stand Chuck Hagel for the simple reason that he is a constant reminder that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and that our invasion of that country was a gigantic strategic and (especially) moral blunder that got a lot of people injured and killed unnecessarily and at tremendous expense. When Hagel turned against the war, he turned McCain and Inhofe into mortal enemies. Yet, while McCain retains an iota of dignity about it, Inhofe recently accused Hagel of being "cozy with Iran."
Perhaps stung by the resulting rebukes, Inhofe felt compelled to explain himself. You see, Inhofe just took over at the Ranking Member (i.e., senior Republican) on the Senate Armed Services Committee, which was in charge of handling Chuck Hagel's confirmation process to be the next Secretary of Defense. And he and freshmen Ted Cruz of Texas, who also sits on the committee, lobbed incendiary accusations at Hagel, including that he may have taken money from Saudi Arabia and North Korea. This is not in the tradition of the civil and bipartisan climate of the Armed Services Committee. So, Inhofe promised that he will be better behaved once Chuck Hagel is disposed of.
They have to put on their show. We have to put on our show, James M. Inhofe of Oklahoma said during an event at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. But we get along fine.
Inhofe, one of the most conservative members of the Senate, who took over as the Armed Services ranking member at the beginning of this Congress, said Thursday the panel needs to get beyond this particular nomination.
Youll see the committee like it was before, he said.
He might as well have said, "I can't help myself. I just hate this guy."
At least he admits that it is all for show.

2. I think his opening statement at the Hagel hearing was basically "No matter what you
say or how you say it, I hate your guts and won't vote for you." It kind of set the tone for the rest of the day.

It's just awful to have Inhofe in the Senate on our behalf. We (my family and me) are always horrified by everything he does and says.
Weirdly, though his son is a hand and wrist surgeon here, and an outstanding one at that. He was so kind, so thorough and so smart, I still have trouble understanding it since his dad is a massive boob.

Ice Cream Cones as Cupcake Holders
Bake your cupcakes directly in the ice cream cones. Fill 24 flat-bottom cones two-thirds full with cake batter. Place the cones in a high-sided 9-by-13-inch baking pan and bake in two batches at 325° F for 30 minutes. Let cool, then frost with two 16-ounce cans of frosting. You can have your cake and eat its holder, too.
Tissue Paper as Cupcake Wrapper
This frilly tissue paper wrap makes a birthday treat even sweeter. Cut a circle and gently gather it around the bottom of the cupcake, securing with a rubber band.
To-Go Container as Paint Palette
Even a starving artist eats takeout sometimes. Use the plastic top from a to-go container as a palette for mixing colors; when you're finished, just toss.
Tic Tac Box as Spice Holder
Pack small amounts of your favorite spice (red pepper flakes, anyone?) in old Tic Tac boxes, to season food on-the-go.
Gift Box as Sugar Holder
More lovely to look at than the branded box from the store, but it still slides easily into the pantry for storage.
Wrapping Paper as Placemat
Turn rectangles of giftwrap into placemats you don't mind getting dirty. You can even write guests' names on the edges to designate seats.
Wrapping Paper as Tray Liner
Turn an old tray into a special serving piece with a single scrap of pretty paper. Use double-sided tape to keep it secure.
Cork as Heat Protector
For a heat protector, slip a cork or two under a lid's handle and you'll always have something safe to grab.
Salt as Homemade Drain Cleaner
Get a slow-moving drain flowing again and pour a solution of ½ cup of salt for every quart of hot water down the pipe.
Rubber Bands as Sandwich Labels
Distinguishing chicken salad from tuna is no picnic. Next time you're packing sandwiches, stretch a thick rubber band around each one and label it with a permanent marker. Divvying up lunch will be a snap.
Cornstarch as Makeup Protector
Balance the oiliness of moisturizing makeup. Brush on a thin layer as a finishing touch.
Chopstick as Brewing Tool
For mess-free tea, tie a bunch of bags to a chopstick and rest it across the pitcher's rim (use 2 bags per cup of boiling water). Brew for about 4 minutes, then lift and discard the bags.
Salt as Stain Remover
Remove coffee and tea stains from the insides of cups by rubbing with a salted citrus peel.
Cereal Bag as Crumb Maker
These durable bags can take a beating. Fill one up and give it a whack with a rolling pin to make crumbs out of crackers, cornflakes, or candy. Remember to twist the top closed to prevent flyaways.
Olive Oil as Stainless Steel Cleaner
Buff streaks out of stainless steel with a little oil on a terry-cloth rag, then shine with a dry paper towel.
Muffin Tin as Large Ice Cube Tray
The cold, hard truth: Small ice cubes melt fast, leaving a pitcher of lemonade watery. To make long-lasting jumbo cubes, use a muffin tin. Pop them out by running the back of the tin under hot water for 30 seconds.
Ashtray as Condiment Holder
Fill that (clean!) old ashtray with soy sauce instead. The notches make a handy resting spot for chopsticks between bites of spicy tuna.
Salt as Iron Cleaner
Eliminate sticky residue from an iron. Run the hot iron (no steam) over plain paper sprinkled with salt.
Olive Oil as Cat Food Supplement
Prevent hair balls. Add ⅛ to 1¼ teaspoon to your cat's food for easy digestion.
Olive Oil as Sap Remover
If dragging and decking out fresh spruce leaves you with sticky digits, pour a tablespoon of oil onto a cloth, then rub until clean. Bonus: The oil is a great moisturizer for dry winter skin.
Soda Bottle as Pasta Measurer
Said good-bye to soda? Fill the mouth of a dry 20-ounce bottle with uncooked spaghetti; the opening holds enough for a hearty single serving.
Baby Food Jar as Easter Egg Decorating Aid
Design Rothkoesque Easter eggs. Fill a jar with dye, then dip half the egg in and let dry. Dip again, but only one-third of the egg. Repeat with both ends of the egg until you have stripes in varying shades.
Need a quick refresher on how to dye Easter eggs? Watch this quick video to learn how to hard-boil an egg, then check out these homemade Easter egg dye recipes.
Melon Baller as Jar Scoop
Scoop and strain from a narrow-mouth jar at the same time by using a melon baller. Works especially well for foods like capers and pimento. Submitted by: KimEH1
Cereal Box as Drawer Organizer
If you're the flaky type, cereal boxes (including the single-serving minis) can corral desk-drawer chaos. Slice off the tops and the bottoms and fill them with loose odds and ends.
Cocktail Shaker as Egg Scrambler
Whip up fluffy omelets by adding eggs, milk, and seasonings together in a cocktail mixer. Give it a few shakes and it's ready for the skillet. Submitted by: suziegirl
Binder Clip as Chip Clip
Secure half-eaten bags of potato chips with a binder clip for an easy way to keep your favorite snack fresh and crunchy.
Paper Doily as Cupcake Holder
These cute patterns on cupcake liners are there one minute, gone the next—they virtually disappear in the oven. For a pretty touch, trim off the patterned edge of a large (12-inch) doily and wrap it around the cupcake liner. Seal with clear tape.
Plastic Easter Eggs as DIY Maracas
Fill emptied plastic eggs with puffed rice cereal and silver-ball cake decorations to make impromptu maracas for kids.
Paper Doily as Candy Cone
Form a cone with a small (5-inch) doily, secure with tape, and fill with candy and treats. The lacy server is a sweet upgrade for the next time you gather the ladies (think bridal shower) or girls (birthday party, sleepover, extra-special playdate).
Beans as Candle Anchor
Pretty and functional. Fill a hurricane vase with beans before adding a pillar candle to help keep the candle steady and minimize mess (the beans will catch the wax).
Dental Floss as DIY Popcorn Garland
String a popcorn garland for the holidays (after a pit-stop in the medicine cabinet).
Drink Holder as Fruit Protector
Rough commute? Slide a drink cooler over an apple to keep it from bruising in your lunch tote.
Paper Doily as a Cake Decoration
You baked the cake. Now you're expected to frost it, too? Take a break from the sticky stuff and use a doily to stencil on a pretty sugar topping. Press a doily flat on top of a round cake and, using a fine-mesh sieve, sprinkle confectioners' sugar liberally over the surface. Use two hands to carefully remove the doily post-dusting.
Marshmallow as Candle Holder
Mini marshmallows may be too small for s'mores, but they're a sweet way to catch wayward candle drips before they hit cakes and cupcakes—because it's not so festive to find wax in your icing.
Straw as Ketchup Unclogger
Insert a straw until it reaches the bottom of the glass bottle. Shake the bottle, then pour, leaving the straw inside. The airflow provided by the straw breaks the condiment-stopping vacuum.
Eggshell as Seedling Planter
Using a pin, poke a hole in the bottom of an empty eggshell half, put it in an egg carton (for stability), and fill with soil and seeds. Once your seedling appears, plant the whole thing in the ground. The eggshell will disintegrate and nourish the soil.
Coffee Beans as Pie Weights
When prebaking a piecrust, use beans to keep it from puffing up or shrinking into the pie plate: Line the bottom and sides of the cold dough with foil and fill to the brim with beans.
Baking Soda as Silver Polish
To polish silver: Wash items, then place on aluminum foil in the bottom of a pot. Add a baking-soda solution (¼ cup soda, a few teaspoons salt, 1 quart boiling water) and cover for a few seconds. The result? A chemical reaction that gets the black off the gravy boat.
Baking Soda as Hair Cleanser
If daily use of mousse or gel is weighing down your locks, add a pinch or two of baking soda to your shampoo once a week to remove product buildup. Getting squeaky-clean strands is a piece of cake.
Banana Peel as Rose Fertilizer
Just flatten a banana peel and bury it under one inch of soil at the base of a rosebush. The peel's potassium feeds the plant and helps it resist disease. Consider it a nutritional boost for you and your buds.
Bubble Wrap as Produce Protection
Use bubble wrap to save fruit and vegetables from bumps and bruises. Cut a piece to fit into the bottom of the refrigerator drawer as a pillow for your produce. Say goodbye to squished squashes or mushy mangoes.
Business Card Holder as Sugar Packet Carrier
Use a business card case to make packets of your favorite sweetener portable. You'll always have coffee your way―without a purse full of powder from torn packets.
Cake Stand as Appetizer Server
To cut down on waiting time for hors d'oeuvres, stack a small cake stand on top of a larger one to increase your surface area for canapés or crudités and free up precious table space.
Can as Biscuit Cutter
Most biscuit cutters make overly wide biscuits, anyway―more beret than top hat. Use a tomato-paste can to achieve the proper size. First, scoop out the paste and freeze it in Tupperware or a storage bag. Then remove both the top and the bottom with a can opener and wash the interior. To prevent sticking, dip the can in flour before each cut.
Candy Canes as Cupcake Decorations
Remove the cellophane wrapping from the canes and form hearts by placing them hook to hook and tail to tail on a nonstick baking sheet or one lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350°F for 2 to 4 minutes (depending on the canes' size) or until they stick together when you pinch the ends lightly. Cool thoroughly and remove with a spatula. If you want to make flat hearts with psychedelic stripes, bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
Candy Corn as Cookie Mix-In
Chop leftover chocolate candy or candy corn and use in place of chocolate chips for cookie recipes.
Citrus Peels as Bowls
Serve sorbet in a memorable way. After juicing (or eating) grapefruit, orange, lemon, or lime halves, scoop out and freeze the peels. Cut a small slice off the bottom to create a level surface (without creating a hole), then fill with ice cream.
Citrus Peel as Firestarter
Kick-start a fire with citrus peels. Leave orange or lemon peels on the counter for several days to dry out. Then use the pretty pieces as kindling in your fire pit or bonfire for a fragrant flame starter.
Coaster as Drip Catcher
Catch the sticky stuff from bottles and jars in cupboards. No more shelves that require a full wipe-down after every spoonful of honey, slather of jam, or glug of olive oil.
Coffee Filter as Yogurt Strainer
For a dip that doesn't taste watered down, strain your yogurt before using it. Secure a paper coffee filter over the mouth of a deep cup or jar with a rubber band then pour in some yogurt. Any liquid in the yogurt will drain through the filter.
Cola as Ham Marinade
For sweet, juicy ham without the goopy stove-top glaze, pour a 20-ounce bottle of regular cola over a 10-pound precooked ham and roast for 2 1/2 hours at 350° F, basting every 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven, cut a hatch diamond pattern into the top, rub with a tablespoon of dry mustard, stud the centers of the diamonds with whole cloves, and pat with 1 cup brown sugar and 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs. Return to oven for 35 minutes.
Swap Conversation Hearts for Chalk
If you can't find the real deal for your message center or that game of tic-tac-toe, these candies will do the sweet talking for you. (Hang on to them until summer, when the driveway is just begging for a masterpiece by your TOO CUTE toddler.)
Corn Flakes as Bread Crumb Substitute
For a new twist on a serial dinner favorite, add a layer of crunch to plain old mac-and-cheese. Top your child's bowl with a sprinkling of flakes (even the bits at the bottom of the bag work). It's easier and more kid-friendly than toasted bread crumbs.
Dice as Vegetable Counter
Decide how many more bites of dinner your child has to eat before being excused. Let your child roll so he's the one controlling his fate. You'll end up with a more peas-ful family meal.
Collette Mather
Teaneck, New Jersey
Dish Towel as Rice Steamer
Steam perfect rice. Once the rice is tender, remove the pan from the heat, place a folded towel over the saucepan, replace the lid, and set aside for 5 to 10 minutes. The towel will absorb the excess moisture for great rice with no mush.
Plastic Easter Eggs as Snack Containers
Give Easter eggs a year-round use (and save on resealable bags) by filling them with snacks like crackers or Cheerios.
Egg Slicer as Mushroom Chopper
Cut mushrooms into neat slivers, all without a cutting board to clean.
Egg Slicer as Mozzarella Slicer
Slice perfect pieces of mozzarella―and cut out the mess that goes with it. The wires divide the soft cheese into equal segments without squashing it. It's a clean cut, any way you slice it.
Eggshells as Bottle and Vase Cleaners
Here's an idea for all those eggs you hard-boiled: Use their broken eggshells to clean the hard-to-reach places in bottles and vases. Drop some crushed shells in the bottle, add warm water and a drop of dishwashing liquid, and give it a good swirl. The shells will scrape off the gunk you can't get to, so you can save your elbow grease for the dinner dishes.
Dental Floss as Cheese Slicer
Use floss to slice soft cheese, cake, and hard-boiled eggs. (Or try it as a substitute for kitchen twine to truss a chicken.) It's hygienic, neat, and cheap. Unwaxed works best, and of course you know better than to mix mint-flavored with a vintage Gorgonzola.
Dinner Fork as Garlic Press
To "puree" garlic hold the tines flat against a work surface, and vigorously rub a peeled clove across them. The result: A fine paste perfect for marinades, sauces, and vinaigrettes (and an end to hand washing the garlic press).
Garlic Press as Seed Crusher
Don't have a mortar and pestle? Crack coriander seeds (shown), cumin seeds, and peppercorns with a garlic press instead. When a recipe calls for "freshly cracked" or "coarsely ground" seeds, fill the chamber of a garlic press and squeeze to crush.
Gift Box as Cupcake Carrier
If the forecast calls for iced roadways, stabilize your sweet cargo by cutting X's into the tops of gift boxes and inserting the cupcakes. (A shirt box will hold about eight.)
Golf Tees as Food Markers
Is that a blueberry or cranberry muffin? Eliminate all the guessing at your next brunch by using colorful tees to denote which is which. (Also handy when distinguishing medium-rare from medium patties at a cookout.)
Hair Dryer as Cake Decorating Tool
To gloss the frosting on a freshly baked cake, lightly blow warm air over the top and the sides of the cake until the frosting melts a little. When it cools, the surface will stay shiny for a professional finish.
Aluminum Foil as Muffin Tin Liner
Shield a muffin tin from burned-on batter drips by laying a foil sheet across it, snipping an X over each cup, then popping in liners.
Aluminum Foil as Baking Pan
Need a pan in a pinch? Use aluminum foil. Rather than struggling to dislodge your rustic apple masterpiece from its (supposedly) nonstick pan, bake it on a cookie sheet, supporting its sides with a doubled-over strip of foil. Secure the foil with a paper clip.
Baking Sheet as Juice Collector
When slicing messy foods like tomatoes, place the cutting board on a baking sheet. It will contain any juices, and make it easy to clean up—simply rinse in the sink.
Citrus Peel as Coffee Mug Cleaner
Remove coffee or tea stains from a mug by rubbing them with a lightly salted citrus peel.
Citrus Peel as Garbage Disposal Deodorizer
Keep your disposal smelling fresh by dropping a few peels down the drain and flipping the switch.
Coffee Filter as Snack Server
Serve chips, popcorn, or cookies in filters for consistent, portable (reasonably-sized!) portions.
Dishwasher as Salmon Cooker
Yes, the internet myth is true, you can cook salmon in the dishwasher, but be forewarned, your dishwasher will reek afterwards. Bob Blumer's Dishwasher Salmon Recipe
Ginger Root as Burn Soother
Soothe blisters and burns by applying fresh ginger juice directly to the sore spots.
Grater as Citrus Strainer
Squeeze lemons, limes, or oranges over the grater to keep seeds out of the juice.
Lemon as Laundry Brightener
Skip the bleach—add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of lemon juice to the wash cycle to brighter up those fading whites.
Lemon as Sore Throat Soother
Relieve a sore throat. Cut a lemon in half. Skewer one half over a medium flame on a gas stove or an electric burner set on high and roast until the peel turns golden brown. Let cool slightly, then mix the juice with 1 teaspoon of honey. Swallow the mixture.
Lemon as Hair Lightener
For subtle highlights in blond hair, simmer two sliced lemons in water for one hour (add more water if needed). Strain, then pour into a spray bottle.
Lemon as Grater Cleaner
After shredding soft cheese or other sticky foods, go over both sides of the grater with the pulp side of a cut lemon to get rid of any residue.
Lemon as Table Decoration
Decorate on the cheap. Fill a glass bowl with lemons for a sunny centerpiece. Or display a row of them along a windowsill.
Lemon as Toothpick Collector
Collect used toothpicks at a party so you don't end up with them all over your tables, seats, and floors. (Stick one in the lemon ahead of time to give guests the hint.)
Mayonnaise as Hair Conditioner
Use mayo to get a deep condition at home. Starting at the scalp, coat strands with 1/2 cup mayonnaise and leave on for 15 minutes. Then rinse thoroughly.
Mustard Powder as Jar Deodorizer
Deodorize smelly glass jars by washing them with a mixture of one teaspoon powdered mustard and one quart warm water.
Oatmeal as At-Home Facial
Treat yourself to an at-home facial. Mix a package of plain instant oatmeal with warm water and apply to skin. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse well.
Cooking Oil as Cuticle Moisturizer
Soften cuticles easily with a couple of dabs of cooking oil. It's the quickest cure for dishpan hands.
Onion as Basement Deodorizer
Clear the air in a dank basement. Cut an onion in half, place it on a plate, and leave it out overnight. Once the initial salad-bar aroma dissipates, you'll have a fresh (non-oniony) atmosphere.
Oranges as Mini Snowman
Build snowmen without bundling up. For a holiday party, give each child three oranges, some toothpicks, a sturdy plate, and store-bought frosting. Stick the large orange to the center of the plate with a dollop of frosting. Poke a few toothpicks halfway into the top of the fruit and spear a smaller orange on top. Repeat with the third orange, and layer on frosting, a vanilla wafer, and peppermints to make a hat. Use candy-cane pieces for arms and a nose, cloves for the eyes, and red licorice for a scarf.
Pretzel Sticks as Appetizer Skewers
Use pretzel sticks in place of wooden skewers to spear bite-size meatballs or mozzarella balls and cherry tomatoes. The best part: You won't have to fish discarded toothpicks out of your planters after the party.
Rice as Vase Scrubber
Prepare a stained vase for a new batch of blooms. If you can't reach the residue at the bottom, add a tablespoon of rice and a lot of soapy water, shake, and rinse until clean.
Salt as Wreath Duster
Place a wreath of pinecones or faux evergreen in a paper bag with a 1/4 cup of salt. Fold the top of the bag over and gently shake.
Salt as Salad Wash
Clean dirt from leafy vegetables by washing them in a bath of salt water.
Sugar as Lip Scrub
Perfect your pucker. Make a paste of sugar and petroleum jelly and gently brush on dry, peeling lips with a toothbrush until they are smooth.
Sugar as Hand Degreaser
Cut grease on hands by rubbing them with a mixture of sugar and water.
Vanilla as Freezer Freshener
Trade frostbite funk for a more pleasing freezer scent and wipe the inside of the icebox with an extract-dampened cotton pad.
Walnut as Scratch Filler
Repair hardwood floors by rubbing shelled nuts into shallow scratches. Their natural oils help hide the flaws.
Wristband as Coffee Sleeve
Protect your hands from an extra-hot latte by stretching a wristband around the coffee cup so your fingertips don't get burned. (Your tongue is another matter, so sip with care, for goodness' sake.)
Zippered Plastic Bag as Soup Saver
Stockpile soup by pouring extra portions into baggies, then laying them flat in the freezer. Once hardened, you can stack them up and save them for a rainy day.
Olive Oil as Measuring Spoon Primer
Rub olive oil on measuring cups and spoons coated with sticky substances (like honey) to ease cleaning.

MTV is apparently casting a reality show about CATTY 16- to 21-year-olds who LIVE TO PARTY and love to create DRAMA. Do they also have to write in ALL CAPS?
If this casting notice that was snapped for MTV Networks International and UK production company Mentorn Media is not a fake, it looks like we have another "Real Housewives Of The Jersey Shorelisicous Couture" coming down the pike. Although God only knows why we need it. [Photo: Instagram]

Seborrhea in Dogs
Seborrhea is a condition in which flakes of dead skin are shed from the epidermis and hair follicles. These flakes may be dry and dandrufflike, or oily and greasy. Oily seborrhea is due to excessive production of sebum by the sebaceous glands. Sebum is responsible for the rancid doggy odor that accompanies oily seborrhea.
Primary and secondary seborrhea are two different diseases.
Primary Seborrhea
This common disease is seen most often in American Cocker Spaniels, English Springer Spaniels, West Highland White Terriers, Basset Hounds, Irish Setters, German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, Chinese Shar-Pei, and other breeds. Affected dogs may have dry flaky skin, greasy scaly skin, or a combination of both. The flakes of dry seborrhea are easy to lift off the skin. The scales of oily seborrhea stick to the hair. In oily seborrhea the hair follicles can become plugged and infected, resulting in the development of folliculitis (see page 158).
The elbows, hocks, front of the neck down to the chest, and hair along the borders of the ears are commonly involved. With oily seborrhea, wax may accumulate in the ear canals, producing a condition called ceruminous otitis.
Treatment: Primary seborrhea is incurable but treatable. Therapy is directed toward controlling scale formation using shampoos and rinses. A number of commercial antiseborrheic products are available. The choice of shampoos and rinses and frequency of application vary with the specific problem, and should be determined by your veterinarian.
For mild dry flaking, moisturizing hypoallergenic shampoos and rinses that contain no dyes, fragrances, or other added ingredients can help rehydrate the skin. These products can be used frequently without causing harm.
For severe dry flaking, shampoos containing sulfur and salicylic acid are recommended to remove scales. For oily seborrhea, shampoos containing coal tar are effective and retard further scale production. Benzoyl peroxide shampoos have excellent hair-pore flushing activity and aid in removing greasy scales that adhere to hair shafts.
Therapeutic shampooing may be more effective when preceded by a warm water shampoo. Rinse thoroughly and follow with the medicated shampoo. Leave on for 15 minutes or as directed, then rinse thoroughly.
Systemic antibiotics are used to treat folliculitis and other skin infections. A short course of oral corticosteroids may be prescribed during periods of severe itching. Dietary supplements containing omega-3 essential fatty acids derived from fish oil are said to be beneficial for seborrhea and certainly can do no harm.

The United States government shutdown will be settled and default averted without jeopardising an economic recovery, one of the world's most senior investors predicts.
HSBC Global Asset Management's chief investment officer for fixed income,
"It does not really matter," said Mr Baraton of the timing of the Fed's tapering. Global growth will accelerate in 2014 regardless, driven by developed markets and not emerging economies, according to the bank.
"It's basically a less risky world we're getting into," Mr Baraton said. After a record year for liquidity injections – thanks to the stimulus provided by the Fed, Bank of Japan and other central banks – next year will still come close. Even though the US will taper, it will be a slow process, meaning the Fed will still be printing money and adding to the monetary base next year.
"We remain in the longer deleveraging era that started after the sub-prime crisis, and when I [say] deleveraging, I mean governments continue to cut deficits, so there's always a little bit of a drag on growth," he explained.
"The negotiation around the debt ceiling and more generally the US budget is a manifestation of that phenomenon.
"It's important because it means that economic growth will be positive but will remain sub-potential in developed markets and globally; [and] that liquidity will continue to remain ample and fixed income will continue to remain the sweet spot in terms of investment."
The US government shutdown has stretched into its second week, resulting from the failure of Congress to pass a spending bill. That battle has become entwined with the October 17 deadline to raise the debt ceiling which can't happen without Congressional agreement. Without a resolution, the US defaults.
"We're of the view that policymakers will at some point in time be reasonable," said Mr Baraton. "It may require more volatility in markets for both parties to make concessions."
He sees 10-year US Treasury yields trading between 2.6 per cent and 3 per cent through 2014 (its current level of 2.63 per cent is at the bottom end of this range) but HSBC doesn't expect a blow to credit growth.
"We think that the US economy is now robust.
"To put things into perspective, earlier this year there's been a lot of fiscal drag in Q1 and Q2 with the sequestration."
"And even though the US economy has been able to deliver positive growth, unemployment rates have gone down, PMIs [purchasing managers' indices] have accelerated . . . property prices are going up and they're not going up because of tax incentives or whatever, they're going up because they've reached their lows."
Mr Baraton disagrees that asset bubbles are brewing in some pockets of the market as a result of unprecedented stimulus. That goes for Australia, too, where house prices have been a source of contention as they climb. He says neither the Australian, Hong Kong or Canadian property markets are in bubble territory.
"What drives property markets is quite complex, and the fact that you can borrow at 30-years instead of 15-years is a factor; immigration is another one," he said.
"Right now I don't see leverage building up again to the point that it will be a real source of concern with bubbles forming and busting."
Nor is he overly concerned about the risk of a downgrade to the US sovereign credit rating because in practical terms it is regarded as more of a technical signal.

Bi-Weekly Summary
For the Period December 20 to January 10, 2011
Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Project
Nothing to report.
Operational Summary
Waste Shipments: As of Jan. 1, 2011, a total of
34,587 cubic meters of contact-handled transuranic
waste, 96.37 cubic meters of remote-handled transuranic
waste, and 3,744 cubic meters of previously-buried
transuranic waste have been shipped from Idaho to the
Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico for disposal.
Idaho Cleanup Project
Nothing to report.
Operational Summary
Waste Exhumation: Cleanup crews with CH2M-WG Idaho,
the main cleanup contractor at the Department of
Energy's Idaho Site, began digging into Pit 9 recently
as part of a campaign that is expected to exhume 500
cubic meters of radioactive and hazardous waste during
the next 18 months. For a brief history of "Pit 9," go
Idaho National Laboratory
Dec. 20: While moving a high bay crane over to pick
up a hatch at the Fuel Conditioning Facility, a grease
gun that had been left on top of the crane gear box fell
from the crane and landed a short distance from an
operations technician. Work was stopped, management was
notified of the event and it was verified that there
were no other items left on the crane that could be a
hazard. (NE-ID—BEA-FCF-2010-0002).
Dec. 21: While monitoring operations at the Advanced
Test Reactor, an operator noted that water flow through
an instrumentation transmitter was less than required.
The indicator system was declared inoperable and
compensatory measures were taken.
Dec. 23: While performing maintenance on a vacuum system
in a radiation area at the Analytical Laboratory, a
radiation monitor alarmed. The work crew immediately
exited the area and performed surveys, which detected
contamination on the protective clothing of one of the
mechanics. The clothing was removed and bagged for
disposal and all personnel then performed whole body
surveys again before exiting the facility. No
contamination was found on the workers.
Jan. 3: The Idaho Falls Fire Marshall issued a notice
of violation to the lab for failing to obtain a permit
for the remodeling of the cafeteria at the Engineering
Research Office Building. INL Construction Management
and the subcontractor responsible for the work then
applied for the appropriate building permit.
Jan. 4: It was determined that a required radiation
monitor at the Neutron Radiography Reactor is not
operating properly after two separate instances of the
monitor showing anomalous readings. The reactor was shut
down when it was determined the monitor was not working
properly, management was notified and a critique held.
Jan. 5: A drive chain was removed from a security
fence at the Specific Manufacturing Capability facility
without installing a lockout/tagout and without approved
work controlled documentation. A critique was held, a
lockout/tagout was installed on the electrical
disconnect for the gate, and a maintenance request was
submitted to repair the gate. (NE-ID—BEA-SMC-2011-0001).
Jan. 10: A worker who had been performing repairs on
remote manipulators at the Hot Fuel Examination Facility
came close to exceeding his annual limit for radiation
exposure to his extremities. Radiological work involving
BEA and its subcontractors requiring radiation work
permits at the Materials and Fuels Complex and the Idaho
Nuclear Technology and Engineering Center was suspended
pending further evaluation and corrective actions.
Building a "Prison" for Radioactive Waste:
Researchers at Idaho National Laboratory, Center for
Advanced Energy Studies and other national laboratories
and universities are working together to test an
inexpensive method to sequester radioactive strontium-90
where it lies. The researchers can coax underground
microbes to form calcite, a white mineral form of
calcium carbonate and the main ingredient in cement. The
calcite should be able to trap strontium-90 until long
after it has decayed into harmless zirconium.

News from the Hilltop
Birmingham-Southern College student and Russellville native is Alabama's only 2008 Truman Scholar
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Russellville native and Birmingham-Southern College student Arthur Richey has been named a 2008 Harry S. Truman Scholar. Richey, a junior political science major, was one of five scholars chosen from 13 regional finalists and the only one from the state of Alabama. He is the fourth Truman Scholar from Birmingham-Southern in 10 years.
This year's selection includes 65 Truman Scholars chosen from 595 students nominated from U.S. colleges and universities. Some 211 finalists from 139 institutions were interviewed in early March by regional selection panels, which typically included a university president, a federal judge, a distinguished public servant, and a past Truman Scholarship winner, among others.
Truman Scholars receive $30,000 awards—up to $15,000 each year for the first two years of graduate study. Scholars also receive priority admission and supplemental financial aid at several graduate institutions nationwide, in addition to leadership training, career and graduate school counseling, and special internship opportunities with federal agencies.
The scholarships are awarded on the basis of merit to junior-level students at four-year colleges and universities who have extensive records of public and community service, are committed to careers in government or elsewhere in public service, and have outstanding leadership potential and communication skills.
Richey plans to attend law school and work in Alabama in state politics. At Birmingham-Southern, he is active in Leadership Studies, College Democrats and serves as a Southern Ambassador.
"My goal is to study law then work in Washington while I am young to gain as much knowledge about public policy as possible and come back home to begin a career that will enable me to give a voice to the people of the state that don't have one," said Richey of his future plans.
Richey interviewed along with 12 other finalists from Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee.
A committee of BSC faculty picked the college's Truman Scholar nominee based on his interest in a Truman Scholarship and his life goals which match those set out by the Truman Foundation. Richey worked throughout the fall semester on the application, which consisted of 15 questions, including several essay questions; three letters of recommendation; and a policy proposal.
Richey's policy dealt with defining economic woes in rural Alabama. He wrote a proposal which called for the state to increase funding for research on the development of cellulosic ethanol.
"It has the potential to provide an economic spark for rural communities in Alabama," he said. "Our state government needs to work with agencies and people in Washington to develop this potential."
The 2008 Truman Scholars will assemble at William Jewel College in Liberty, Mo., from May 13-18 for a week long leadership development program. They will receive their awards during a May 18 ceremony at the Harry S. Truman Library in Independence, Mo.
Richey currently has a 3.8 grade-point average at BSC. He was selected as a 2007 Hess Fellow and worked last summer as an intern with the advocacy group Alabama Citizens for Constitutional Reform. Last fall, he volunteered with Black Warrior Riverkeeper, a group dedicated to the protection of the Black Warrior River, and is currently working for Empower Alabama to engage more people in progressive change for Alabama.
Richey, the son of Benjamin and Mary Richey of Russellville, graduated from Russellville High School. He is an Eagle Scout and Order of the Arrow. In addition to his involvement with the College Democrats at BSC, Richey is active at the state, regional and national levels as well. Previously, he served as the 2005-06 political director for the Alabama College Democrats, the 2006 state chairman of Young Alabamians for Lucy Baxley for Governor Campaign, a 2006 and 2007 delegate at the College Democrats of America National Convention, and the 2006-07 membership director for the Alabama College Democrats. He interned for U.S. Rep. Artur Davis of Alabama for his January 2006 BSC Interim term. He currently serves as the 2007-08 president of the Alabama College Democrats.
The Truman Scholarship Foundation was established in 1975 by Congress as the official memorial to the nation's 33rd president.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by viman96, Apr 3, 2014.
Romo's cat?
I started a thread this morning about this but it did not get much traction which was surprising. Not surprised DeSean asked RG3 to give up his number. He has always come off as a me first show boat.
I have zero interest in what numbers Redskins players wear.
back to Jacksons"comment"......all good humor has its roots in the truth
Forget the gang stuff. Jackson wore out his welcome in Philly by missing meetings, having bad practice habits, being petulant with the coaches and sulking during games -- while today a thread comes out about Dez putting his past behind him.
A tale of two players on the very same day; one who overcome tremendous obstacles and tries to take advantage of his talents in life, the other who complains about a jersey number and takes his talents and life for granted.
SMH Jackson is wearing #11... No news.
Its already been decided.
Quite correct. Mods will move it when they want to.
Manufactured drama is manufactured:
And the offseason drags on......like molasses in January.
There was nothing manufactured about what he said. He created this drama. No doubt there will be plenty more for you to defend in the future as well.
Possibly, in the future, there will be. But this isn't it. If you want to make a big deal about that, I don't know what to tell you, other than you're terrified this might actually work out.
He was being an arse.
"Jackson semi-jokingl"
"maybe he could get Griffin to change his number"
"there hasn't been a decision that's been made yet so far"
"Fans everywhere please calm down. Not changing my # @DeseanJackson10 will kick off his new beginning with us in a new one"
If there was nothing to see here, you wouldn't need someone(s) to tell you so.
Not that this is a huge deal, anyway, but that article hardly makes the drama seem manufactured. Pretty obviously, there was some internal discussion regarding something as silly as who wears what number.
Like the Jackson signing for you guys though. Or, more correctly as a Cowboys fan, I hate it.
Not concerned about Jackson.
It was plain as day.
It will be interesting when they put DeSean in the slot next to Reed. That will be a tough matchup for any defense.
It actually made it clear that this was a bigger deal than I originally suspected. I'd thought at first this was Jackson popping off without thinking, but these were behind the scenes discussions. Amusing.
It's the kind of thing that doesn't matter at all if he performs-which he probably will. But if there are issues...this guy is a pita.
IMO the fact he made it public is the issue. He just joined the team and is already jawing about changes that need to be made for him. This would not have been an issue if it were kept out of the media.
On a scale of 1-10 this would be a 3. But what is has done is set presedence. Any whining going forward will catch more attention then it should.

Wolverhampton's testimony comes amid a big slowdown in the number of foreign students applying for UK higher education courses this year.
The number of applications from Chinese students is down 26% on the previous year, according to the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (Ucas).
Wolverhampton University is sympathetic to the Foreign Office's duty to stop illegal immigrants entering the country.
But it was still "shocked" that nearly 70 "bona fide" students would have missed their course had it not been for senior staff intervening to fight their cases.
Foreign students generate a vital source of income for universities and Wolverhampton faced the prospect of not just losing face - in the eyes of its Chinese higher education partners - but vast sums of money, if they had pulled out.
Pro-vice chancellor Professor Roy Newton said: "If we lose face, we are out of the market and it is a very important market - China is our largest international market for students coming to the UK."
Last summer, 57 qualified teachers, who were due to start a Teaching English as a Foreign Language (Tefl) course at the university, were refused visas to enter the UK.
Professor Roy Newton told the BBC News website: "We had to intervene at British consul level in Beijing.
"This course had been running for the previous two years and every student had returned to China afterwards.
"Fortunately it was resolved successfully within a week by the British consul, but only because the vice-chancellor and myself had to make persistent phone calls and e-mails to her office.
"I realise immigration officials are doing this for all good reasons and I don't have any argument with that at all, but I think overseas applicants need clarity as to exactly what information is needed, as do the universities."
International links
Wolverhampton university had checked the academic credentials of all the students who had registered for the month-long course and was satisfied they were genuine, which is why the visa rejections came as such a blow.
Professor Newton said: "In the end all of the students came out and all of them went back, but it was a real shock that this number of visas was rejected on what were clearly bona fide students."
In a separate incident, also last summer, the university had a similar fight when 11 Chinese students were due to take part in a course organised by the British Council.
Again, a series of phone calls to the British consul in Beijing succeeded in reversing the visa refusals, with an added condition.
Prof Newton said: "The visa agents in Beijing wanted us to collect up all the passports when the students returned and take them to Beijing to prove the students had returned home.
"We had to round up the passports."
The task was carried out by the university's regional officer in Hong Kong, whose job now entails writing a covering letter with each student's visa application sent to immigration officials.
The university is proud of its 10-year academic partnership with China and its links with 65 countries worldwide.
It recruits about 1,500 international students to undergraduate and postgraduate courses annually and hopes the general slowdown in the number of overseas applicants to UK universities is a blip.

Isabella Ousts Emma as Most-Popular Name for Girls Born in U.S. Last Year
Isabella replaced Emma as the top name for baby girls born in the U.S. in 2009, while Jacob remained the most popular choice for boys for the 11th straight year, the Social Security Administration said today.
Maliyah, a variation on the name of President Barack Obama's oldest daughter, had the biggest jump in popularity, rising to a ranking of 296 from 638 in 2008, the agency said in a statement. Her actual name, Malia, jumped to 192 from 345. Barack rose to 1,993 from 2,424 among boys' names.
Cullen climbed the most among names for boys, jumping to 485 from 782, which the agency attributed to the popularity of the character Edward Cullen in the "Twilight" series of books and films about vampires.
The girl's name Marely had the biggest drop, falling to 851 from 334, followed by Mylee and Lindsay. Brett, Jonas and Alvin had the largest decline among boys' names.
Following Jacob among boys were Ethan, Michael, Alexander, William, Joshua, Daniel, Jayden, Noah and Anthony. On the girls' side, Emma dropped to second, followed by Olivia, Sophia, Ava, Emily, Madison, Abigail, Chloe and Mia.
The agency started compiling lists of baby names in 1997.

Aha, that's good news.
I remember we discussed EnGenius/ Senao trouble before.
Good to hear EnGenius finally listened to the grief of many people and did
something about the crappy hardware they used to use in the past.
According your positive experience with them now, I might try them too one
day soon.

Stephen Merchant Says Hello Ladies
He's creating an HBO pilot
Though he's usually found co-creating and co-starring on shows and podcasts with Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant has his own comedy material out in the world. You might recall us going along to see his Hello Ladies stand-up show. Now he's worked out a deal with HBO to craft a show based around one man's faltering love life with the same title.
Merchant will be both starring in the show as a not-so-surprisingly lanky Brit navigating the murky waters of dating in Los Angeles, and overseeing the pilot. He's co-writing the script not with Gervais, but with Bad Teacher team Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg. They, of course, already have a connection to Merchant as they spent time writing for the American version of The Office.
The plan is to get the thing before cameras by the end of the year, at which time HBO will decide whether it actually picks it up as a series going ahead.
It'll be interesting to see Merchant flying solo on TV without Gervais, so we'll be keeping our fingers crossed he gets the chance. We just hope he doesn't make the face that, in extreme close-up, provided the climax of his stage show, because we're still having nightmares about that one.

Sustainability and energy conservation are built into the DNA of Market of Choice, a regional natural and organic grocery store operator based in Eugene, Ore. The family-owned chain employs energy-saving air curtains, sells power generated from its own 130.0 kW solar photovoltaic rooftop system and composts its own food wastes. And it is in the middle of an energy-saving lighting retrofit. Here are the details on the major elements of the company's energy-saving efforts:
AIR CURTAINS: To date, air curtains have been installed in seven of Market of Choice's eight locations. Most stores use a stainless steel Zephyr or MaxAir air curtain (from Berner International, New Castle, Pa.) that matches the modern look of the automatic door entrances on the interior. The curtains, which are installed on the front end and shipping doors, were originally used to keep customers and employees at the checkout protected from drafts. But they also have resulted in significant energy savings for the stores.
The curtains are activated by a limit switch triggered when the door opens and deactivated on a five-second delay setting via Berner's digital, programmable Intelliswitch controller.
Here's how it works: Air curtain technology draws interior air from the facility and discharges it through field-adjustable (+/-20 degree) linear nozzles that "seal" the doorway with a non-turbulent air stream that meets the floor approximately at the threshold of the door opening. A properly sized and AMCA-certified (Air Movement and Control Association) air curtain can contain approximately 70% to 80% of that air and return it to the space. Because the air curtain discharges air at velocities generally in the range from 1,000 to 3,000 ft/min., it effectively prevents outside air from entering the space (and also flying insects).
The curtains are critical to Market of Choice stores because their front entrances are cost-effectively designed with automatic sliding doors versus vestibules. The payback for air curtains ranges from one to two years and depends heavily on periodic checks for proper airflow performance. Store managers at Market of Choice are trained by the installing electrical contractor, Revolution Electric, Eugene, Ore., to clean reusable filters and adjust the air curtain's 10-speed fan to suit patrons and weather conditions.
LIGHTING: The grocery store operator is moving from traditional fluorescent lamps to LED lighting in its reach-in coolers/freezers. The LEDs use approximately 18 to 20 watts of energy as compared with a traditional fluorescent that consumes 44 watts, emit less heat for the refrigeration system to dissipate, are brighter and have a five times longer life cycle than the fluorescents. After a test installation, the chain is installing them in other locations.
"They're saving energy, they're brighter and they perform well," said Market of Choice sustainability coordinator Scott Cook. "We believe we can cut our freezer-light energy use by 60% with this program."
In addition, the extensive produce sections in the stores will be outfitted with LED drop-in bulbs in HID 42-watt fixtures. For the change-out, Revolution Electric is experimenting with 18-watt wide beam spread LEDs (from Osram Sylvania, Danvers, Mass.) and also with 14-watt LEDs (from Cree, Durham, N.C.), which have an 87 color rendering index (CRI).
SOLAR: Market of Choice deploys 562 rooftop-mounted, 175-watt photovoltaic solar modules (from SolarWorld, Hillsboro, Ore.) to generate electricity. A PV power inverter connects the 130.0 kW DC system to the electric grid. The retailer sells the power to Oregon's largest customer-owned utility, Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB), which pays .12/kWh on the 10-year contract. The chain's corporate offices use solar lighting generated from solar tracking skylights. A monitor/control system adds lumens of artificial light when solar lighting isn't sufficient near dusk, dawn or on overcast days.

Ariel Castro, who kept women captive at his home in Cleveland, Ohio, has died after being found hanging in his cell.
Prison officials said he died in hospital after prison medical staff failed to revive him.
Castro, 53, held three women against their will for about a decade until May this year. He kept his victims chained up and raped them.
He was serving life imprisonment without parole.

My wonderful, brilliant father, Charles T. Fray, passed away on March 26, 2008, in Seattle, Washington, where he retired in 1990. As his only child, I am proud to carry on his lifelong passion for our earth and its oceans. Fortunately for me, I also inherited his unparalleled integrity and courage, which he demonstrated with great honor in World War II (leading his troops at the Battle of the Bulge and liberating towns across France), as well as his ground-breaking oceanographic research around the world, and then with his truly inspiring teachings at several colleges on Long Island, NY. There's no telling how many, many people's lives have been made better for knowing him — none more than mine.
The world has lost a great man. I miss him very much!
With never-ending love from his very proud daughter - Nancy B. Fray

Apparently, if I'm not a boorish, knuckle-dragging, beer-swilling slob who grabs the asses of attractive women when they pass by, then I must be gay or European. That's the depressing message I took away from The Ugly Truth.
Other critics will likely focus on the movie's retrograde thinking when it comes to women, and they will have plenty of ammunition. I walked away from this feeling insulted and stereotyped as a man. All in all, the portrait this romantic comedy paints of heterosexuals is so radioactive that being gay and European starts to look distinctly appealing. Maybe I'll watch Brüno again.
The film begins with Abby Richter (Katherine Heigl), a tightly wound TV producer at an unaffiliated local station in Sacramento whose supreme competence can't keep the station's programming from tanking in the ratings. To boost the numbers, management goes over her head and gives a daytime slot to Mike Chadway (Gerard Butler), the host of a cable-access show who gives relationship advice like an unholy cross between Dr. Phil, Jim Cramer, and Howard Stern. Abby's massive pique at having to work with Mike soon turns to astonishment when he becomes the station's most popular personality.
The same goes for us, because nothing about this character rings true. His antics are obnoxious, his manner is off-putting, and his ideas about relationships are unoriginal in the extreme. He also drops some rather hideous off-color jokes in the office that'd surely bring on a sexual harassment suit in the real world, as Abby points out. Why are the TV viewers connecting with him? A charismatic lead actor might have at least helped this go down, but Butler is atrocious in the role, sporting a bizarre American accent (he never could do a passable one) and looking tentative, as if he doesn't know how far to push the character's brazen lewdness. Strange to say this about the star of 300, but he lacks the right macho swagger here.
The film is by the same creative team that did Legally Blonde, though co-writer Nicole Eastman receives story credit, so we should probably blame her for the movie setting itself up as a workplace comedy only to abandon that in favor of an even more unbelievable romantic farce. The lonely and sexually frigid Abby becomes smitten with a cute doctor (Eric Winter) living in her apartment complex and turns to Mike for help in snaring the guy. I don't have space to go over all the ways in which this is sexist, but I will say that this leads to some mightily strained set pieces like the one in which Abby accidentally wears a pair of vibrating panties to a business meeting and loses the remote.
Heigl fights through all this gamely and with a certain degree of skill. She still comes out on the losing end here, and it's not because of anything she does on screen. Remember a couple of years ago when she expressed some reservations about the gender roles in Knocked Up after she became famous? Actors aren't supposed to be ambivalent about movies that make them stars, but you could see where she was coming from. Now, though, she's lost the moral high ground by headlining a comedy that's a lot more offensive and a lot less funny.

Yelich single lifts Marlins past Reds 2-1
MIAMI -- Christian Yelich's RBI single in the bottom of the 10th inning lifted the Miami Marlins to a 2-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday night.
The Marlins snapped a three-game losing streak overall and a seven-game skid to the Reds.
Jeff Mathis, who was the center of Thursday's controversy at the plate, doubled to left to lead off the 10th off Sam LeCure (1-3), advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Reed Johnson, and scored on the base hit to center by Yelich.
The Marlins' Mike Dunn (9-5) struck out two batters in the top of the 10th after Chris Heisey delivered a pinch-hit triple.
Both starting pitchers, the Reds' Homer Bailey and the Marlins' Nathan Eovaldi, pitched seven innings and allowed one run.
Yelich doubled in the third inning and Jordany Valdespin drove him home with a single to center to give the Marlins an early 1-0 lead.
Eovaldi issued a leadoff single to Ramon Santiago in the seventh inning, ending his night. Bryan Morris came on in relief and Billy Hamilton hit a bloop single to left to score Santiago, who slid in safely at home to beat Yelich's throw and tie the game.
Mathis stayed back to wait for the throw, which could have affected the play. After the inning was over, Mathis was visibly frustrated in the dugout.
Giancarlo Stanton nearly hit a home run for the fourth consecutive game when he doubled off the right-field wall in the first inning.

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day
Every year in the United States approximately 2 million women experience pregnancy loss due to miscarriage, stillbirth, newborn death, and other causes. October 15 is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. It offers us the opportunity to increase our understanding of the tragedy involved in the deaths of unborn and newborn babies. It also enables us to consider how, as individuals and communities, we can meet the needs of bereaved parents and family members.
The remembrance day also includes The International Wave of Light. Participants are asked to light a candle at 7:00 P.M. in their respective time zones and leave it burning for at least an hour. The resulting chain of light will span the globe for 24 hours to honor and remember children who die during pregnancy or shortly after birth.

LINDSAY LOHAN: Oh Mama, She Wants to Sing
Cover your ears -- Lindsay Lohan is ready to relaunch her singing career!
TMZ reports that LiLo, who tried to make inroads in the music biz before her last downward spiral, is looking to get into the world of electronic dance music. That's a dangerous choice, given the genre's association with drug culture. A source tells the site that Linds was in a New York studio over the weekend belting out a tune called "Confessions of a Broken Heart" -- a recording intended to help her snag a record deal.
She's allegedly got some powerful friends in her corner this time -- including Lady Gaga.

I have had some interest in this waste oil burner stove I made to heat water which can be used for many purposes. Its basic design came about as an improvement of one I used before At a place I worked at we generated a lot of waste oils, and eventually came up with a way of getting some use out of it. Burn it!
The reasons I decided to experiment with this are twofold. First off was a growing surplus of waste oil. Second was an insane increase of natural gas rates to nearly triple what it was a few months ago. It was time to do something drastic. I have been considering alternate energies for quite a while now, researching wind generation, geothermal and solar. I view this project as a first step to becoming less dependant on overpriced utilities.
I wont claim this burner will pass any EPA tests or is the answer to the energy crisis, and its not yet had proper safeties installed to run continuous 24 hrs/day 7 days/week or unattended in any building. I simply feel it is a fairly clean alternative to dispose of some types of waste oils.
The stove design and construction are outlined on the Stove page. Its very simplistic but with some additions to make it safer to have in a shop environment.
The nozzle and associated hardware I'll explain in more detail on the Atomizer page. (sounds so high tech doesn't it?)
As my testing and tweaking progress I'll try to post my successes or failures on the Updates page.
And at the request of a friend that I put a picture of a naked chick on my page.. Here ya go Z!
