Merendar (the verb) To take a light meal/snack
Merienda (a noun) a light meal/snack

No coffee for me. It's too late. but I am having some crackers, cheese and ham.
Bon Appetit !!
[With all due respect: "Merenda" is Italian.]
Bea, "merenda" is correct in Italian ;)

Fr. Z:
I look forward daily to reading your blog. I especially liked your daily AdventCazt. I know you are busy, but would you consider making them each day throughout the year?
You are in my daily Rosaries.
[Thank you for the prayers. Daily? I might need more incentive, I'm afraid. Sometimes I don't know how much effect they actually have. Thanks for the feedback.]
Me thinks I shall brew myself a double-espresso with my Mystic Monk espresso! Yes, replacing the counter-top microwave with an over-the-range Convection/Microwave oven has given me the space to keep my espresso machine permanently on the counter top! [That's the spirit!]
Thanks for the correction. Now I know a little Italian, too.
Mystic Monk hoodie spotted in the wild:
. . . wasn't mine, unfortunately. One of us got a deer, one had a missed shot, and one (yrs truly) didn't see a thing from can see to can't. But we all had a great time in the outdoors. Saw a pair of mockers who were very cheeky about coming up and peering right into my blind, three Harris Hawks playing in the wind, several hundred juncos, several sets of noisy crows, and – most amazing – a flight of Sandhill Cranes that flew over at treetop level, calling. So close I could see the red patch on their heads.
And I'm pretty sure mine was the only deer blind in Georgia where Rosaries were being said for most of the day.
"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

THE HATF1ELD MILLING Decatur, The seventy-first session of the Illinois Conference of the Methodist church was ipened at Champaign Wednesday. The ministers' reception was held Tuesday night. The auditorium of the church was packed, many being unable to get seats. Bishop Bowman did not arrive until Wednesday. The session opened with nearly all the members of the con- ference present. The roll call showed :hat five members of the conference had died since the last meeting. Rev.R. G. Hobbs was re-eJocted Secretary; J. B. Martin, Statistical Secretary, and H. Gibbs Treasurer. A committee yas apppointed to further investi- ;ato the charges against W. F. Wright, who was suspended last fall. The trial was held yesterday. Dr. J. T. McFar- land represented the .church, and Rev. W. C. Lacy was counsel for Mr. Wright. J. T. Orr offered a resolution which was adopted: "That the bishops, in makLag transfers from this conference or to this conference, be requested to provide that those who go out be of tho same grade of appointment as those'who come in." J. F, Homer was placed in charge of the Now York book account and J. A. Kum ler was appointed to receive all money for the Domestic Missionary and Church Aid Society. The Rev. P. O. Bruner, formerly pastor at Urbana, delivered the educational address. The church ex- tension anniversary was held last night, the M. 8. Hard, of New York, being the principal speaker. James Miller is at the conference, and is in good spirits. Ho will be returned to Grace church, Bloomington. [Special to the Republican] CHAMPAIGN, ILL., Sept. The con feron.ce is farther behind with its work up to date than it has been for many years. It may be that Bishop Bowman indulges tho speech-making brethren rather more than his predecessors have done. However, the business of the con- ference may yet be completed in time to adjourn Monday night. Only two dis- tricts had reported up to the closing session yesterday, that of Bloomington and Champaign. Arrangements have been made for Bishop Bowman to preach in Metnoria hall on Sunday next, as more people can be seated there than in any church edi flee in town. Tho committees are doing their work which is essential to tho completion of the vast amount of business required to be done nt every annual session. J. P. Dimmit, a former pastor of tho First M. E. church, Decatur, is here but will not take an appointment, as his wifo is now in tho south for her health and ho may go to her in a few weeks. David Gay, of Texas, will return to his first love and will receive an ap pointmont, but does not know where il will be. There is a class of 20 yo'ung men up for conference besides severa supernumerary preachers, who will be made effective. Consequently the con foronco is crowded. There wil be many disappointments, as tho best men will go up and some who have had good appointments will be shoved back as is always the case when there are so many applicants for work Thursday afternoon the Epworth League anniversary at which addresses were made by Rovs. A. N Simmons, C. R. Curios and others. Las night Dr. F. M. Bristol, pastor of tho First Church, Evanston, delivered masterly address on tho work of tno Epworth League, Tho W. F. Wrighl trial is still in progress. [Special to HlO OiiAMi-AiCifJ, 111., Sept. The busi nosa of this tho 71st session of the Illinois Conference progresses slowly, nnd un loss tilings move more rapidly tho closing days af tho session will bo prolonged Tho committees are getting in thoir work all right, and tho anniversaries are going off before largo audiences. Tho most magnificent address thui fur delivered was listened to Thursday night. The orator wag tho Rov F. M, Bristol, D. D. of Evans ton. In matter and delivery il could scarcely bo excelled, if equaled Dr. Bristol is tho coming man in wos tern Methodism. Several collections hnvo boon taken, but nono that touched tho hearts and pockets like tho appaa of Rev. Mr. Black, of Nebraska, who told of tho intense suffering in the Wes Nebraska Conference. A cash collection of was taken and other pledges of support were given. Tho Wilber F. Wright case still hangs firo. A letter was road to the committee in this case froiu Mrs. Minnie M. Wright, who is in Ohio, in which her preacher husband is charged with re- pouted cruelty and neglect. Mr. Wright denied tho allegations of his wifo. Usu- ally a wife cannot cestify against her husband, but counsel on both sides consented to have this letter written to Dr. Horace Reed, presiding elder of tho Jacksonville district read in the trial. The selling of a quilt by lottery at Stonington during Mr. Wright's pastorate was brought into the trial, as the sum of 8101 was involved. It seems this money was raised to aid in church building in Stonington, but the money catna into the pastor's hands and bo applied it on his salary, and trouble grew out of that It looks as if Mr. Wright will be expelled from the church and ministry. Rev. T. D. Weems of Decatur was made effective..' It is pretty well rttWed Rev. E. J. Durham of Arcola will -fed to Mowrtqna, and Rev. ET. C. Turner of the! latter charge will go to Arcola. Mr. Durham one of the beet preachera in the It is rumored that the Rev. W. K. Jeans, of Omaha, will be transferred to Vermont street, Quincy. In that event )r. Oncal will not go to that charge, as was anticiphied. Rev. D. v t'sttre will not be disturbed, >ut will le to serve the First church. Among the brethren who would like ;o go to Grace church, Decatur, are the ollowing: R. G. Hobbs, Champaign; J. Wohlfarth, Monticello; T. J. Wheat, Mattoon; M. W. Everhart, Pana. It ooks as if Dr. Hobbs will be the lucky an. Dr. Hobbs and his excellent wife will do excellent service, The annaal missionary Fermon was preached by Rev. C. R. Carlos, of Grove ity. The Woman's Foreign Missionary So- ciety was addressed by Drs. Thornton and McFarland. The address of Dr. Mason of 'incinnati, in behalf of the Freedmen's Aid Society, was an able and eloquent effort. Preacher Wright on Trial. At the Methodist Conference at Cham- paign great interest is taken in the trial of Rov. W. F. Wright, which is being conducted behind closed doors. Some- thing over a year ago Dr. Wright was stationed at Stonington in Christian county. One day when he was out of town his wife, assisted by nor neighbors, packed her personal belongings, left her homo and returned to her friends in Ohio, the ticket and money for her ex- penses being supplied by her friends in Stonington. She told many stories of the ill troatment she had received from hor husband and it was generally be- lieved that she left him on account of his cruelty. Presiding Elder Horace Reed made a thorough investigation, and the com- mittee of investigation suspended Mr. Wright for a year. Tho verdict of the present hearing will determine whether or not the sentence of suspension shall stand or the case be remanded for re- trial. In the present hearing Dr. J. T McFnrland represents the church and W. C. Lacey is counsel for Rav. Mr. Wright. AT AN ADVANCED AGE. Death of a Negro Who Claimed to "be 110 Years Old. Champaign Gazette. William Jefferson, an old colored man died at the home of his son-in-law, Wil liam Courtney, on North Third street the latter part of last week, and the f u noral occurred Sunday. Ho was proba bly one of the oldest colored men in Ill- inois, and to the time of his death his mental faculties were fairly well pre served. Ho claimed hat he was born in North Carolina in 1784, which woulc make him 110 years old at tho time ol his death. 'Ho was many years a slave While his appearance was that of a ver; old man, it is thought hardly possibl that he had reached the century mark He came here only a few weeks ago from Decatur._______________ Now They are After Moloney In the circuit court at Springfield yes terday State's Attorney Graham, in the name of the People of the State of llli nois on petition of State Auditor Goro commenced proceedings to compel At torney General Moloney to proceec against the Illinois Building and Loan association at Bloomington.

Hardy's Can- didacy Means, The Republicans of Macon county, who are such from principle, were never so much astonished us they have been over the announcement of George P. lardy as an independent candidate for county clerk. His candidacy can have but one object, namely, to defeat a part of the Republican ticket. There is not the slightest chance of his election. This svery man, though he be a novice in lolitics, knows, and no man knows it jotter than Mr. Hardy. That he knows this is attested by the 'act that immediately after the county convention, and up to the time of the Semocratic county convention, Mr. 3ardy told his friends that he would not be a candidate in a ;hree-cornered fight. This meant that 10 would not bo a candidate unless the Democrats should waive the nomination of a candidate for county clerk. It was upon this understanding that Mr. Hardy sent out petitions to sign, making him a nominee. It was upon this understand- ing that these petitions were signed. That such an understanding had been reached, with some of the Democratic leaders, was developed at the Democratic convention, when the committee on rules and order of business reported an order of business that did not provide for the nomination of a county clerk by the con- vention. This proposition was defeated by the convention, through the leader- ship of J. M. Gray and others who open ly stated that the proposition to leave the place on the ticket for county clerk open, was intended to have the Demo- crats support Geo. P. Hardy as an independent candidate, and Mr. Gray Mr. Bragg and others openly declared that before theywould support Mr. Hardy who bolted his own convention, they would support Mr. Dodd, the regular Republican nominee. These men al denounced bolters as unworthy the sup port of the voters of any party. Tho result was that that convention did no- leave the county clerkship open, but nominated A. O. Bolon, a straight Dem ocrat for county clerk. It was also stated on the floor of that convention that George P Hardy would run for clerk in any event and that his candidacy would result in tho election of Mr. Bolen. No Republi can, however, believed that Mr. Hardy after repeatedly stating that he would not run in a three-cornered fight, would be come a candidate simply to defeat the Republican party that has treated him so well. No one believed, who knew George P. Hardy, that he could be un grateful enough to try to defeat the party which has honored him so often Tho older Republicans will recall the fact that Mr. Hardy has been in office through the preference of the Republican voters for 22 years nearly a quarter of a century. Republi cans have been born, became voters anc have diod since Mr. Hardy first acceptec office from tho Republicans. He be came city clerk in April, 1872, and hole that offlco continuously until December 1882. While he held the office of cit; clerk ho was elected township clerk April and he held that position and city clerk both until he was electee county clerk in 1882, and was inductee into that office in December of tha year, which office he has continuously hold ever-since. Having been so well treated by thi Republicans, it will occur to every fair minded man. that the party is entitlec to courteous treatment from 'him, anc that when he refuses to accoid tho party what is due it, and enters into a plan to defeat it, that he has not onlj made a serious putshimsel in tho attitude of being controlled bj the most vicious spirit of ingratitudi ever committed by a man of good ctand ing, No candidate for nomination belong ing to any party in Macon county eve before bolted tho decision of a county convention before which ho sough a nomination. Under tho foregoing cir cumstances, which are the facts of his tory Mr. Hardy can not expect tho voti of any Republican who signed his peti tion with tho understanding that h would not run in a three-cornered fight and he cannot expect tho support of any other Republican in tho county in a con test which can have no other purposi than tho defeat of the Republican part; on part of its ticket by the election of a Democrat instead of a Republican.

Ihe Illinois Federation of Labor will meet at Belleville, Oct. 9, and among which will be considered will be this alleged slap at free labor by Gov. Altgeld. The International Cigar- makers Union of America is one of the organizations that is pressing the fight against tho governor. JI H. Madden, the president of tho federation, said yesterday: The question of how to stop the manu facturing of goods in the penal institu- tions will be ono of the matters thut will come before our convention, and it will bo given serious consideration. Labor people are feeling the competition of con- vict labor keenly now, and those organiza- tions in tradesdirectly interested are com plaining bitterly. The Cigarmakers'union the molders, haruessmakers and others are anxious to have us take the mattei up and try to provide relief. There wil be ten central bodies represented in thi convention, as well as many local unions The delegates will represent or ganized laboring men. Wo expect to make a strong effort toward influencing legislation. QUESTIONS TO BE DISCUSSED. Among the questions to be discussec will be the election of Federal Judges bj the people, government ownership of the railways, the telegraph and telephone the pledging of Congressional and legis lativo candidates to work for legislation demanded by organized labor, the appro priation of a sufficient sum of money b' tho State for the penal institutions tha they may be sustained without coin peti tion with free labor, the passage of a law for the establishment of a board of arbi tration similar to the Maseachusett law. Wo want a law more direct in iti application. We want a law which wi require a corporation to agree to submi all its controversies with its men to th board of arbitration before it can secur a charter. We also want corporation already chartered to be denied the protcc tion of the militia unless they will agre to this provision of the law. "I cannot say just what kind of a do mand we will make on the governor fo the abolition of the present system o prison1 management, but he will hea from us, I think.'' The cigarmakers are advertising th number of Gov. Altgeld's prison cign factory all'they can. The Journal for September has the follow ing editorial by Edward Perkins: "Tho number of Gov. Altgcld'a Johc prison cigar factory is 116, First District Illinois. Altgeld, the Chicago million airo, says he will dispose of his filth prison-made goods in the far-away run districts, thus implying that the peopl in such districts can be imposed upoi and that filthy prison-made cigars ar good enough for them anyway. Ou members and friends in tho places in dicated should be on the watch for th goods that this protondor would fore upon you. Boycott his goods, thus re senting the insult and at the same tim doing a good turn for the free but idl citizen who is vainly seeking for employ ment in order that he may support him self and family. Boycott Altgeld's filth prison-mado cigars; boycott factor No. 116, First Illinois; it i a State Prison factory, started and ru by ono John P. Altgeld, Governor am millionaire landlord, who before elcctio said: "The free mechanic should not b compelled to work in competition wit! men behind prison walls." THE GOVERNOR'S BOOK. The men out of work will not fin much comfort in tho fallowing oxtrac from Gov. Altgeld's book, written prio to the election of 1892, when the Demo crats wore fighting protected industries "At present there is much ground to complaint, especially as regards certai kinds of skilled labor which can be car ried on in a prison as well as elsewhere Thus there is no doubt the makin of shoes, saddlery, cigars and number of other articles requirin labor, by convicts under th contract system at present, injures th free labor in this branch of industry nnd it affects them most in dull time for in good times when tho demand equal to the production of the entir country, all rind employment, and tha the contractor of prison labor is makin excessive profits is not generally noticec But when times are dull and the dc mand limited and prices low, inasmuc as the product of the convict labor mus continue to be the same, free labor ha to suffer Should tho demand be n greater than can be supplied by th prison, then free labor would either hav to other employment or accept sue wages as would enable it to compel with convict labor." PHEE TRADE IN TEXAS. Prices of Wool and Cotton Gone- Down and Wages Cut 31 Per Cent. John A. Bohrer, of South Jlayed. Gra- county, Texas, whore he has lived or eighteen years, is now in the city vis- ting his brother-in-law, Supervisor H. May, chairman of the county board. Mr. Bohrer is au extensive cotton grower nd wool producer in Texas, anu is also hairman of the executive committee jf the Republican committee for rason county. He tells a Joleful tory of the effects of Democratic lesris- ation in Texas, and gives a good u'.ustra- ion of the results of free trade. Ir. 1S92 vhen Texas had its largest crop of col- on, the market price for the product was S to 10 cents a pound. No'.v the irice is (3 to G1..' cents with the not o great. Heretofore the wages of cot- ou pickers have been not less than 75 cents a day. Xow tho pay is down to 40 cents a day. The growers aro now- ashamed to look the sheep in tho face vhen shearing time comes and in- ariably reverse the order of action when ;hey grasp the shears. Wool in Texas n 1892 sold at 18 and 10 cents a pound. Now the people are glad if they can get 7 cents a pound. Mr. Bohrer states that ths people of ;lie Lono St.ir state are in a marked condition of unrest and disgust oier tho hurtful legislation of the Democratic party, and there is strong probability that the Democratic plurality will be cut to or less. And it is predicted that at least two Republicans will be sent to cong.-ess. Now there is a solid Democratic delegation in con- gross. Republicans are doing hard work in every county in the state, and hope to redeem some of the counties from Dem- ocratic domination.

POPULISTS LOSE THEIH CASE Judge Fouke Decides the Illinois Mandamus Against Them. SPRINGFIELD, 111., Sept. Fouke in the Sangamon county circuit court decided the mandamus case of Jackson L. Jessup and Chas. E. Palmer, Populist legislative candidates, against W. H. Hinriehsen, secretary of state, in which thr point at issue was the mean- ing of the words "general election" as used in the election laws. Judge Fouke sustains the secretary of state, holding tktit "A fair construction of this statute is that the next general election preced- ing tho nomination of these candidates ivas the judicial election in that district." He took occasion to criticise the law. ex- pressing a doubt of tho wisdom of the attempt on tho part of the legislature "to incorporate political parties." "I doubt said the policy of having a law in this country that will destroy the elasticity of public opinion. I think it ought rather to encourage it. Voters should be legislated to the- polls rather than away from the polls." The decision will have the effect of requiring not only the Populists but the-Republi- cans and Prohibitionists to nominate all their candidates by petition in the Fifth judicial district, being tho counties of Sangamon, Macoupin, Christian, Mont gomery, Payelte and Shelby. The case will bo appealed to tho supreme court, but a decision cannot be obtained in time to be available this year. McKINLEY TO SPEAK. State Republican League Meeting Oct. 10 at Springfield.

Canadian Officials Discuss the PMMA-Tainted Ecstasy Crisis
It all began with a death after a house-party and evolved into what was Calgary's worst drug-overdose crisis. According to Metro.com, a 16-year-old was one of the first PMMA poisonings, as he was rushed to the hospital in critical condition after ingesting ecstasy. Dr. Mark Yarema, an emergency room physician and medical director for the Poison and Drug Information Service said, "We get the occasional ecstasy call, but nothing like this. There were eight others who had come from the same party, all with symptoms."
The 16-year-old died a few days later. In the following months, 14 deaths occurred in Alberta and at least 5 in British Columbia would be linked to PMMA, which was contained in the ecstasy they had taken.
PMMA is an amphetamine-like substance, that has recently been combined with ecstasy, and has caused numerous deaths in Canada, as well as Norway, the Netherlands, and Iceland. The synthesis of PMMA was described by chemist Alexander Shulgin in his book PiHKAL, which is often considered to be a "bible" among ecstasy chemists. Shulgin reports that PMMA produces an increase in blood pressure and heart rate at doses above 100mg, but causes no psychoactive effects at these low doses. The structure of PMMA is very simulate to PMA, which is known to be toxic in humans.
After the first string of deaths in Calgary, fear for public safety began a swift campaign to not only find those responsible, but also to warn the public of this potentially deadly ecstasy that appeared to be circulating areas of Canada. Furthermore, new hospital policies were drafted in dealing with these overdoses.
Although the first death occurred in December of 2011, quite a few more followed in January and February of 2012. Another recent hospitalization has occurred as a result of PMMA tainted ecstasy. Some authorities believe that people may still be holding onto some of this supply of tainted ecstasy.
Calgary police staff Sgt. Mike Bossley describes one of the most hectic three months of his career, following the first PMMA deaths. He said, "not only are you trying to run this massive investigation, but you also have to get word out to the public." Police learned that a select group of dealers were responsible for the tainted ecstasy, and the police moved in to make a few key busts in attempts to stop the ecstasy from hitting the streets with a vengeance.
The media also launched a campaign to educate the public about this potentially fatal ecstasy. They developed a series of anti-drug posters, and even a Twitter campaign advertising users to stay away from ecstasy. Calgary police spokesperson Kevin Brookwell said, "We were doing everything we could to educate the public. It seemed like every weekend people were dying from overdoses."
The policed fear that this PMMA-tainted ecstasy could resurface on the market at any time, and they believe that both dealers and users could still be holding onto the deadly substance. Recently, there was an instance of a young man who took a hit of ecstasy he had been holding onto for several months, and when he began to experience some disturbing symptoms, he told his parents to take him to the hospital because he knew something was terribly wrong. The young man collapsed when he arrived at the hospital, but his life was spared. He credits the media campaigns for his life, as he would not have rushed to the hospital if he had not heard all the warnings of this PMMA-tainted ecstasy.
Bossley said, "It's not over. We haven't stopped our investigation…I think we are better prepared now to deal with something like this both from a policing perspective and with the public."

This review is from: Logitech Tablet Keyboard for Windows and Android
Compact, great battery life, very responsive and wakes up fast from sleeping. Love using the case as a stand for my tablet. If I had a reason to buy a second one I would.
Other Thoughts:
I don't understand why people are complaining that the keyboard can fall out of the case. Just carry it with the opening up instead of down and it won't fall out.

Question about Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG9 Digital Camera
All the video taken comes out as still photos and we cannot see how to download the actual video taken
Posted by sjpems on
I can import still photos from the camera to the PC (Windows Vista) but it is not recognising videos.
Error message:
Error at CVFWImpt:Open()
Can't open VFW!
TwainUI has to exit.
That's it nothing happens. Any help?
I have exact same problem..Any solutions please
The videos taken should be in the same directory as the photos, but with a different extension. If you look at your memory card in windows explorer, the directory structure looks like "drive letter: \ DCIM \ 100SANYO \ SANY0001.JPG" or "drive letter: \ DCIM \ 100SANYO \ SANY0002.MP4"
The .MP4 files are the videos. You can copy them from that directory to somewhere on the computer where you can edit them or put them onto DVD.

Critical decisions for selecting pressure transmitters
There are many considerations when it comes to selecting a pressure transmitter, and few are examined in school. Here's advice to avoid tough lessons as you learn on the job.
Many of today's smart process transmitters are multitalented devices. They can provide a great deal more information and perform more functions beyond simply providing a pressure reading. This extra data can include temperature, device history, calibration information, diagnostics, and more. A smart transmitter can detect internal problems, be recalibrated and re-ranged remotely, and in some cases even spot process anomalies such as plugged impulse lines.
In addition to measuring pressure values directly, pressure measurements can be used to determine or infer flow rates, fluid levels, product density, and other parameters. As a result, pressure transmitters are deployed more widely than any other type of process instrument.
Wireless technology adds another layer of capability to pressure transmitters, making it possible to measure and gather information in locations that previously were not economically feasible to reach due to the costs associated with conduit, cable I/O cabinets, and other infrastructure needed for wired transmitters.
With this additional ability to "measure anything, anywhere," an engineer has to decide what needs to be measured and why. What justification is there for a given measurement, and which device is best suited to meet his or her goals?
This article suggests a series of questions and other considerations to help guide a designer charged with making critical decisions regarding pressure applications and transmitter selections.
The pressure is on
The first questions to ask should include:
- What is the normal operating pressure of the application? Select a transmitter that is optimized for that range.
- What are the highest and lowest pressures expected during normal operation? Accuracy can generally degrade somewhat at the extremes, but the device must remain repeatable under these conditions and must not suffer any damage nor require recalibration.
- What maximum pressure will the device experience under the worst conditions? For safety reasons, the transmitter must be able to withstand a pressure as high as the pressure rating of the vessel or pipe to which it is attached without bursting. All attached piping, flanges, manifolds, and other accessories that will be exposed to the same maximum pressure must be rated to this threshold. Some devices can continue to operate after an overpressure incident and retain accuracy, while others may need recalibration or even replacement, but the primary consideration here is safety.
Connecting to the process
Because pressure transmitters are also used in flow and level applications, they are often integrated with other components, such as orifice plates for measuring flow or another pressure sensor for monitoring level in a tank. Three types of mountings are available to connect transmitters to components or the process: (1) in-line, where the transmitter is mounted directly to a single process penetration; and (2) coplanar and (3) biplanar, where the transmitter connects to the process via two connections.
An in-line mounted transmitter (see Figure 1) has a single connection, usually at the bottom of the unit, for measuring gage or absolute pressure. In-line mounted transmitters are usually lightweight and do not often require a mounting bracket.
A coplanar mounted transmitter (see Figure 2) has two process connections for differential pressure (DP) on the bottom of the unit. This transmitter is lightweight and is usually installed on a single process flange. The coplanar connection enables measurement of differential, absolute, or gage pressure-type applications.
A biplanar configuration is a more traditional way of connecting to the process (see Figure 3) and has two ports on the side of the lower part of the unit. This is the traditional process connection used for DP measurement, and it also supports gage and absolute pressure. It is heavier and more challenging to connect than in-line or coplanar designs. A transmitter used in a DP flow application can also be mounted directly to a flange containing an orifice plate.
When considering a connection type, consider if there is an existing connection point or if it will it be necessary to create a new tap into the process. Either of these may require a process shutdown, which can be costly and potentially dangerous. It is also possible to hot tap a process and add a transmitter while running, but this requires highly trained personnel. Other things to consider regarding the connection are:
- Can a flange be added to make the connection? If so, what type of flange is appropriate for the application?
- What threading is present?
- Is a manifold already installed?
All of the mounting considerations for a monitoring point also apply to a control point. But for control, a connection that is more maintainable is ideal. For example, if there is sediment buildup, it is important to be able to clean out and purge the connection point. By adding a three- or five-way manifold, or a bleedable flange, you can easily purge any buildup.
Remote seals
Connections to a pressure transmitter often involve impulse lines that run from the process tap to the transmitter. These can plug up with sediment or freeze in the winter. One solution to plugged impulse lines is a remote seal and capillary system, where process pressure is transmitted to the pressure sensor via an oil-filled capillary. The system acts as an extension of the pressure transmitter and protects its diaphragm from hot, cold, or corrosive processes, as well as from viscous materials or those containing suspended solids that might plug impulse piping. In hygienic applications, remote seals also make it easier to clean process connections and prevent contamination between batches, as well as avoid the maintenance often needed with wet-leg and dry-leg installations.
There are also electronic remote sensor arrangements for measuring tank level. Instead of having a single DP transmitter installed with impulse line connections to the bottom and top of the tank, two transmitters are used. One is located at the bottom of the tank, with the other one located at the top. The two sensors are connected electronically, instead of via a wet leg/dry leg or capillary (see Figure 4). This is useful for tall tanks because it eliminates the need for long impulse lines. A caveat to this method is that accuracy is impacted in tanks with high static pressures relative to the DP measurement for level. When considering such an arrangement, it is best to consult a factory expert to help select the best technology.

"Virtual remote seals" can also be achieved with FOUNDATION fieldbus using regular transmitter doing the arithmetic internal to the device.
Diagnostics tells if heat tracing is not turned on or has failed, or has been left on in the summer time causing overheating. Learn more from the white papers found here:
A remote indicator is a very good accessory in many applications. For instance, when you use close coupled transmitters to avoid problems associated with remote seals and impulse times, then you get the issue that the transmitter is no longer at eyelevel so a display cannot be seen. It might sit at the top of a tank, high up on the pipe racks, or below grated flooring. In such installations a remote indicator placed at eyelevel is ideal. Note that in a plant built on FOUNDATION fieldbus it is possible for a single indicator to display multiple variables. For instance, it could display pressure, flow, and process temperature from a multivariable transmitter or it can display the reading from many different transmitters, for example all the transmitters on a tank such as pressure, temperature, and level measurements.

7 Trends We're Glad We Tried in 2015
As editors, it's our job to test-drive each season's hottest trends. But even we get gun-shy sometimes—taking our time with the ones we're really unsure of. In 2015, though, we went for it. Here, we share which trends we're happy we finally gave the time of day.
Scarves & Bandanas
"I always thought I'd look like I was trying too hard or just plain weird wearing a scarf or bandana, but in 2015 I gave the trend a try and was pleasantly surprised with the results. They added an insouciant flourish as if to say, 'Oh, this old thing? NBD.' Plus they filled the void of the statement necklaces I once really loved." —Nikki Ogunnaike, Senior Fashion Editor
Crop Tops
"I'd always been into the idea of crop tops and would tease friends that I was going to have a 'crop top summer,' but never went for the really midriff-baring one until this year. I discovered Taylor Swift, crop top queen, gets many of hers from the Bloomingdale's Aqua line, so I bought one and wore it to the 1989 World Tour. I've been hooked since. My friends give me so many compliments, and in a way, it's made me more confident. I'm a jogger and work hard to stay in shape, so it's fun to put that on display every once in a while." —Alyssa Bailey, Editorial Assistant
"Flared jeans have been on the come up (again) for some time, but it was only this year that I finally got into them. As soon as I shimmied into this dark pair from Koral, I was a wide-legged convert. I love how the seams emphasize leg length (which looks especially impressive when I get extra height from heeled booties) and flatter my backside. Plus, the high rise cinches in possible muffin top. Whenever I wear these, and that's at least twice a week, I feel so put together it barely matters what else I've got on that day." —Kristina Rodulfo, Associate Editor
Patent Leather Heels
"I'm almost a year sober from super-high heels, but these Valentino boots took me back. They work with all my closet staples—from black jeans to little dresses." —Julie Schott, Senior Beauty and Fitness Editor
Pajamas Outside the House
"If Selena can do it, I can do it, right? It takes a great pair of pajamas to pull off this look for the office—and I definitely wasn't sure I'd be able to. Adding a tailored blazer and Manolo slingback pumps was the key. It also helps that my Piamita pajamas are actually meant to be worn outside the house. All in all, a full printed silk pj look was definitely the way to go for a day when putting on a form-fitting lewk simply wasn't in the cards." —Ruthie Friedlander, Deputy Editor
A Leather Baseball Cap, Kylie Style
"After a deeply embarrassing attempt to play tee ball in the third grade, I've been convinced I could never be the kind of girl who could pull off sneakers or a baseball cap in a fashion-y way. But after dressing like Kylie Jenner for Halloween—specifically, aqua hair and leather baseball cap Kylie—I felt so badass, I started wearing the hat IRL all the time. It looks cool AF and I don't know why I wasted so much time NOT dressing like Kylie. (I still secretly want to dye my hair blue, too.)" —Gena Kaufman, Social Media Manager
Kick Flares
"What even are kick flares, you are probably asking? As I understand it, they are cropped jeans that flare at the bottom. It sounds awful when you type it out, but I wear these mini kick flares from Ayr every other day." —Leah Chernikoff, Editorial Director

Barcelona: Toyota's Jarno Trulli beat home favourite Fernando Alonso by a whisker on Saturday to claim provisional pole position for the Spanish Grand Prix. India's Narain Karthikeyan qualified 15th while Ferrari's world champion Michael Schumacher could only manage seventh best. Narain, who spun off the track at the third turn once again emerged as the best rookie ahead of his team-mate Tiago Monteiro and the two Minardi drivers. Ferrari's Rubens Barrichello, meanwhile, will lose 10 places on Sunday's starting grid after an unscheduled engine change before the first qualifying. The second qualifying is on Sunday followed by the race.

It is not easy to organize a scholarly conference on Frank Sinatra.
As soon as Hofstra University announced last year that it was planning one titled ''Frank Sinatra: The Man, the Music, the Legend,'' calls poured in from autographed-cocktail-napkin collectors, Sinatra impersonators, singing-plate manufacturers, a ventriloquist with a Sinatra puppet.
Fortunately for Hofstra, scholars responded, too: professors with arcane specialities like the neo-Latin poetry of Colonial and Revolutionary America, offering papers on everything from the iconography of Sinatra to Sinatra and masculinity, Sinatra and politics, Sinatra and Generation X.
An art historian at the University of Chicago proposed a paper on Descartes and Sinatra. An expert in the collective unconscious wanted to examine Sinatra from a Jungian point of view. Other topics included Sinatra and Italian-American culture, and Sinatra and civil rights.
''We can approach Sinatra from many levels,'' said Krin Gabbard, a professor of comparative literature at the State University at Stony Brook on Long Island. ''Those involve so many things that are so important to us on a daily basis: models of masculinity, upward mobility, crossing ethnic boundaries while maintaining loyalty to your origins.
''If you really want to understand how this country works, look at Sinatra.''
Well before his death Thursday evening, Sinatra had become not only one of the best-known pop culture icons of the 20th century but also the focal point of a small but thriving cottage industry at colleges and universities here and abroad.Continue reading the main story
Over the last few years, professors have been writing books on Sinatra, editing collections of scholarly essays on Sinatra, publishing articles in academic journals and organizing panel discussions on Sinatra at the annual conferences of scholarly groups, including the Modern Language Association.
It just so happens that many of the scholars involved are Italian-American men themselves. They listened to Sinatra as children, because their parents did. Many rediscovered him in adulthood. (At least one was driven back to him by disco.) Without hesitation, they call themselves fans. As a result, some admit to ambivalence about transforming Sinatra into a subject for study. Those feelings surfaced when Hofstra shipped off 30,000 copies of a request for papers for the first full-scale conference devoted entirely to Sinatra, scheduled for Nov. 12-14.
''My first reaction was: 'Why don't they leave him alone? He's mine,' '' said Rocco Marinaccio, a professor of English at Manhattan College in the Bronx. '' 'Do we have to muck Sinatra up with all of the appropriation that goes on when academics start to write about pop culture?' ''
(Then Mr. Marinaccio sent in his proposal on Sinatra and the politics of cool.)
Popular culture has been a hot field for scholars and students on certain campuses for years, since the rise of cultural studies. But while Madonna and Elvis Presley captured the imagination of many professors, the subject of Sinatra languished, relatively untouched.
Maybe he was not cool enough, marginal enough, working-class enough, scholars say; maybe he seemed too much a part of bourgeois culture. As Thomas J. Ferraro, who teaches cultural studies at Duke University, put it, the Sinatra discussion remained ''a conversation between music critics.''
Then Sinatra turned 80 in December 1995. Amid a revival of interest in jazz, swing and the 50's, he suddenly became visible again. Popular books and articles on Sinatra and the Rat Pack came pouring out.
''I think a lot of us who were devoted to Sinatra's music felt it was time to make a case for him as an important artist,'' said Roger Gilbert, an associate professor of English at Cornell. ''We felt if people can write about Madonna and Elvis in an academic context, why shouldn't we?''
One of the first academics to organize a Sinatra panel was Paula Marantz Cohen, a professor of humanities and director of the literature program at Drexel University in Philadelphia, who in early 1996 put out a call for papers on ''the semiotics of Sinatra'' in the Modern Language Association newsletter.
Ms. Cohen says she expected proposals informed by a critical view of Sinatra as what she calls ''a symptom of our culture.'' But the 15 scholars who responded loved Sinatra. Mr. Gilbert, who was one of them, told Ms. Cohen he had waited all his life for a Sinatra panel at the M.L.A. meeting.
''I won't say it was hagiography,'' Ms. Cohen said of the panel that resulted at the conference in Washington in December 1996. ''But there was a sense of appreciation which doesn't enter in as much to even the study of literature at literary conferences.''
In his paper, ''The Swinger and the Loser: Sinatra, Masculinity and 50's Culture,'' Mr. Gilbert argued that Sinatra became the classic embodiment of 50's culture not because he was its idealized male image but because ''he fully articulated its contradictions, anxieties and ambivalences.''
Masculinity, in particular, was fraught with tension, Mr. Gilbert wrote. And the decade's most representative male artists and artifacts ''manifest a nearly pathological melancholia, often disguised by exaggerated sexual drive and willed nonchalance, that points to a genuine crisis of male identity.''
Sinatra not only embodied cliches of maleness, he also parodied them ''to allow a contrasting sense of the self's interior spaces to emerge,'' Mr. Gilbert said. In his film roles and his singing, he displayed a ''startling capacity for showing pain.''
Another English professor, Gilbert L. Gigliotti of Central Connecticut State University in New Britain, presented a paper at a Popular Culture Association conference in 1996 in which he analyzed liner notes written by Stan Cornyn for Sinatra's albums in the 60's, examining the creation of the Sinatra image.
''What I did with the liner notes was take my literary training and say 'Let's look at this character who Cornyn has created,' '' Mr. Gigliotti said in an interview. ''In elegant and witty essays on the backs of albums, he creates this interesting character, all this iconography that jumps off the page.''
As for Sinatra's politics, Jon Wiener, a professor of history at the University of California, Irvine, is interested in Sinatra as an example of the connection between popular culture and politics. Wiener has traced the transformation of Sinatra's political views over nearly half a century.
A supporter of Henry Wallace for the Presidency in 1948, Sinatra was to the left of the Democrats in the 1940's, Mr. Wiener says. His short film, ''The House I Live In,'' was a statement against racism centered on a song that held up the working class as true Americans. It won an Academy Award in 1945.
Over the next few decades, as Mr. Wiener tells it, Sinatra was ''red-baited out of the industry,'' re-emerged in the 1950's as a ''regular Democrat'' campaigning for Adlai Stevenson, then for John F. Kennedy, then began to drift right, ending up a supporter of Richard Nixon in 1972.
''In our day, most singers don't have this kind of continuing engagement with politics,'' Mr. Wiener said in an interview. ''They will endorse causes, but mostly safe causes. Sinatra recalls a time when there was a much closer and intense engagement between popular artists and the political issues of the day.''
More than 100 scholars and others have submitted proposals for papers they would like to present at the Hofstra conference, which is being organized by the Hofstra Cultural Center and Eric J. Schmertz, a law professor and former dean of the Hofstra School of Law.
Among those who have proposed papers, MaryAnne Janosik, a historian at Lake Erie College in Painesville, Ohio, intends to examine Sinatra's screen image to see, as she explained in an interview, ''how this Italian guy from New Jersey became sort of the prototype for a lot of our contemporary ethnic antiheros, like De Niro and Pacino.''
Harvey A. Kaplan, a Manhattan psychoanalyst, hopes to speak on the ways in which Sinatra epitomized the psychological concept of ''the second self,'' which Mr. Kaplan describes as ''a self that's not normally exposed in our everyday life but that we make use of in artistic endeavors.''
Philip Furia, a professor of English at the University of North Carolina in Wilmington and the author of a book on the poetry of Ezra Pound, intends to speak on his examination of the lyrics of the songs from Broadway shows in the 1920's and 1930's that Sinatra recorded in the 1950's.
''They're almost all written for women performers,'' Mr. Furia pointed out. ''That whole character that Sinatra establishes in songs that is very vulnerable, very tender -- a lot of that comes from the fact that he took songs that were really written for women characters.''
Meanwhile, Leonard Mustazza, a professor of English and American Studies at Penn State University, Abington, and the co-editor of ''The Frank Sinatra Reader'' (Oxford, 1995) expects to have out shortly ''Ol' Blue Eyes: A Frank Sinatra Encyclopedia'' (Greenwood Publishing Group).
Mr. Mustazza is also editing ''Frank Sinatra and Popular Culture: Essays on an American Icon,'' a collection of essays by scholars, which he said would be published in time for the Hofstra conference.
''This conference may be a little bit ahead of the Sinatra curve,'' said Douglas Brinkley, a cold war historian at the University of New Orleans, who is to speak on ''Frank Sinatra and the American Century'' at Hofstra. ''But 50 years from now, they'll be teaching him at Harvard.''Continue reading the main story

I'd like to buy the original Fuji case for X100s. But I was wondering if it is more-or-less sandproof?

Maybe you should refrain from using this precious device outside? Just stay indoors and on forums;-)-- hide signature --
Or perhaps ask a question, get an honest answer and buy something more appropriate based on helpful posts.
There is actually a hint of truth to the previous response. If you don;t subject your equipment to the elements you are not going to get 1/2 of the good pictures you would get otherwise. X100(s) is actually sealed relatively well, so just make sure to blow out the stray bits of sand when you come home, and don't forget to wipe it to clean off the microdrops of salt spray that landed on the camera, and you WILL BE FINE. If you go to the sea often, I'd recommend fitting a protective filter on the lens. You will be fine. Zippered cases are overprotective and they just ensure that you'd never get the picture you want, especially when you have children around. They don't wait.
The OP asked a straight forward fact based question. I answered it factually, and correctly. Everything you say has meaning, I prefer just to answer the question asked.
If it's opinion you want then I have three children and each time we went or go to the beach I keep my camera in a zippered case. We don't just take photos km we sit, play, eat, run, jump in the sea - a zippered case comes in really useful in those conditions, When I wanted to take a shot I took it out and took the shot. Yes, I probably missed lots of impromptu shots, but what the heck, we enjoy ourselves.
When I'm not at the beach I use my Fuji leather case.
Ok, I don't understand why you are so bent out if shape over PC issues. It's ok for people to express opinions, it's a forum, not an FAQ...
I don't like to baby my equipment, I am not reckless or stupid with it but is value the picture more than I value the camera. Carrying insurance sometimes helps with this attitude:-). The cost of a good x-series system almost justifies that.
Ifi could understand what you said I could construct a meaningful reply :-). I just don't understand where you are coming from PC? Issues? I gave my opinion, never said there was anything wrong in giving yours. I just answered the OP's question. Going to bed now, signing off - have a good one.

I've always liked a good ghost story, but zombies leave me cold. I mean, how can anything with rapidly decomposing brain cells moving at the speed of a sloth possibly be scary? Why don't the living in
these movies stick out their tongues and dance circles around them? It's because zombies are relentless, say some; they never tire. Yeah, but I could just pull a Will Smith on them and create a Manhattan penthouse fortress, the way he does in I am Legend, based on the book by the same name.
It seems as though writers and directors have finally figured out that slow-as-molasses zombies aren't all that frightening. The director of Dead Snow has certainly turned up the horror. A group of medical students spends the weekend at a remote skiing cabin in Norway. Throw in a strange old codger with stories about evil lurking in the hills, and the problem of having to go to the outhouse in the dark, a horror in itself, and you've got a pretty good start. But then add...wait for it...Nazi zombies! Yes, it's a great concept but it's a bit over the top when legions of them start popping out of the snow to eat our protagonists' vital organs. The problem is that, as with many zombie movies, when you try to escalate the fear it seems inevitable that you stray into caricature or satire. Or maybe that's the point - the appeal is knowing the whole conceit will eventually dissolve into the absurd.
One movie that embraces the absurd from the outset is Zombieland- sure to become a cult classic. An obsessive-compulsive, agoraphobe hooks up with a pugnacious, zombie hating Twinkie-loving cowboy, played by Woody Harrelson. They make their way across the wasteland that is America after the zombie apocalypse. It's great laugh out loud fun, and personal thanks to the director who realizes that we only need to see the undead munching on a body part once or twice to get the point. Our imaginations will fill in the blanks. This and another low-comedy zombie flick, Shaun of the Dead would make for a great movie night, providing vegetarian food is served.
A recent interest in all things zombie means that there's plenty of fodder for fans. The book World War Z by Max Brooks recounts the story of the zombie wars that almost put an end to life as we know it. If only all zombies would heed David Murphy'sZombies for Zombies: Advice and Etiquette for the Living Dead.

Evening Business for 11 April 2013
The Warehouse says it's acquisition of Noel Leeming has radically changed its access to higher end brands like Sony and Acer. The country's largest listed retailer purchsed the electronics company for 65 million dollars last year with the aim of broadening its range of products. It's all part of the company's attempt to reverse a loss of market share, and offer its goods through more than just its so-called Red Shed general merchandise stores and Blue Shed stationary shops. The Warehouse Group's chief executive, Mark Powell, says the acquisition of Noel Leeming has been good for the Warehouse.
