Processes involving separation and/or purification are of great practical importance and are at the core of the discipline of chemical engineering. Dr. Rousseau has focused his research on these processes and related phenomena. A large body of his work has been on crystallization, which is one of the most important means by which separation or purification is conducted. He has led studies of crystal nucleation and growth and the role these phenomena have in determining crystal morphology, purity, and size distributions. Dr. Rousseau is particularly interested in the application of crystallization technology to the recovery and purification of high-value-added chemicals, including biologically produced materials.
The use of crystallization in separation and purification processes is an important and valued methodology in numerous industries, including those manufacturing commodity and specialty chemicals, pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, and a variety of biologically synthesized products. Crystallizers may be operated in either a batch or continuous mode, and the crystalline product usually must have characteristics that are intrinsic to a specific application and/or that facilitate fluid-solid separation.
Recent research topics in the Rousseau group include:

Holidays in Cuba
Holiday in Cuba
I have just filled in a survey about the two hotels I stayed in whilst visiting Cuba, but the survey did not give me the opportunity to review The Holiday Place as a company. I just wanted to say that everything was perfect, the transfers, flights and the help we received when booking was excellent. We have recommended you to friends and family and look forward to using you again in the not too distant future.

UND alumna heads for space station
GRAND FORKS -- NASA astronaut and University of North Dakota alumna Karen Nyberg embarked on her second journey into space Tuesday to the International Space Station.
She launched along with other members of the Expedition 36 team from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan for the seven-hour trip to the space station, more than 200 miles above the Earth.
NASA TV provided live streaming coverage of the crew as they prepared to board the space station on the space agency's website, www.ustream.tv/nasahdtv.
While in space, Nyberg may deliver the keynote address at UND's summer commencement ceremony Aug. 2, according to Tim O'Keefe, head of the UND Alumni Association and Foundation.
O'Keefe traveled with "Team Nyberg" overseas to witness the expedition's launch and document the group's experience in his Area Voices blog.
"I can feel the tension and emotion rising as today moves forward, for me and everyone here," O'Keefe wrote.
In her hometown of Vining, Minn., Nyberg's parents were watching the launch.
In nearby Henning, where Nyberg went to school, community members and students gathered at the elementary school for a launch party. Before takeoff, her sister carried a cardboard cutout of the astronaut from classroom to classroom, where students posed for photos.
Continuing a tradition started by Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, Nyberg and her two co-pilots planted saplings along the Avenue of Cosmonauts on Tuesday before their launch.
"Sun, birds, smell of grass & fresh air; nice walk w/ family along 'Ave of Cosmonauts' #simplejoysonearth," Nyberg tweeted.
After takeoff, the crew of Expedition 36 will not smell grass or fresh air for six months.
O'Keefe wrote of Nyberg's anticipation of the launch.
"After spending time with her two days ago and talking to the astronauts here about the level of training and repetition they experience, it's very apparent she is ready to go," he wrote.
Before putting away her cellphone, Nyberg composed a final tweet from the ground.
"Time for me to 'unplug!' Thanks everyone for well wishes & great interest in what our nations do in space. Will be talking to you from LEO! (Low Earth Orbit)," she tweeted.
Reporter Kevin Wallevand contributed to this story.

Barack Obama's health care law ran into a legal buzz saw at the Supreme Court, Tuesday. So, how did the network morning shows on Wednesday cover the "historic" case? They mostly ignored it. Over two hours, ABC's Good Morning America allowed just two minutes.
Reporter Jon Karl hyped an Obamacare loss as win-win for the President. He insisted it would be a "rallying cry for liberals" and that "it would also take away an issue for Republicans." There's no down side to having one's biggest legislative accomplishment eviscerated? [MP3 audio here. See video below.]
Co-host George Stephanopoulos admitted that the President's "signature" legislative achievement received a "rough reception." He tried to salvage things, spinning, "...Even if this went down...it would doom the President's law but we don't know what impact it would have on the campaign."
On NBC's Today, Matt Lauer squeezed the Obamacare case into a larger interview with House Speaker John Boehner. Instead of focusing on the harsh treatment the law received from Supreme Court judges, Lauer superficially zeroed in on the name and needled Boehner: "You call it ObamaCare every time I hear you talk. Why don't you call it what you called it when you debated it, the Affordable Care Act?"
On CBS This Morning, co-host Charlie Rose also deemed the case "historic."
But, similar to ABC, the program only offered two minutes and 45 seconds. Unlike the other networks, however, reporter Jan Crawford acknowledged the generally poor reception the Obama legal team recieved.
Crawford explained, "[The Supreme Court judges'] tough questions for leading proponents of the law raising concern that the government didn't make its case, putting the law in jeopardy."
She added, "Some are going so far as to point the finger at Solicitor General of the United States, Donald Verrilli, who represented the government before the court."
Crawford then remarked, "The problem in the Supreme Court yesterday for the government wasn't its lawyer, it was the case."
Today, unlike GMA and CBS this Morning, actually had follow-up stories, although they were only quick news briefs. Natalie Morales allowed, "Tuesday's historic session indicates that the high court may drop a provision from the law that would require every American to purchase insurance or face a fine."
A transcript of the March 28 GMA segment, which aired at 7:15 segment, follows:
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: And in this morning's your voice, your vote, mixed news for President Obama. Our new poll shows voters feeling much better about him than Republican front-runner Mitt Romney, but his signature health care law got a rough reception in those historic arguments before the Supreme Court. ABC's Jon Karl is covering this all from the capitol. And, Jon, let's begin with that health care argument. You had more than half the court asking very tough questions about this core requirement that everyone has to buy health insurance. Listen to Justice Scalia. He had a down-to-earth example. He said if the government can force you to buy health insurance, they can force you to buy food.
ANTONIN SCALIA: Everybody has to buy food sooner or later. So, you define the market as food. Therefore, everybody is in the market. Therefore you can make people buy broccoli.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And you can really hear in the questions, Jon, a partisan split between the liberals and the conservatives.
KARL: Yeah. And that was typical, that exchange there. You know, all five of the conservative justices, and they do have the balance of power, had withering questions for the nation's lawyer, expressing real skepticism about whether or not the government has the power to require people to buy health insurance, the centerpiece of the law. They expressed doubts about that. We don't know how they're going to rule, George. They will deliberate until June on this. But, this was an ominous start to this case.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And you're right. The decision will come right in the middle of the presidential campaign. But it's kind of hard to read, even if this went down, what that would mean for the campaign. It would doom the President's law but we don't know what impact it might have on the campaign.
KARL: We sure know that it would be a rallying cry for liberals if this court, especially the five- if it was a 5-4 decision, were to strike down that law. But, it's unclear. It would also take away an issue for Republicans.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Quickly, Jon, we have this new poll out this morning showing the President opening up a gap on Mitt Romney.
KARL: Yeah. This is something else. Look at this. 53 view Obama favorably. Just 34 for Romney. And look at this, the unfavorable numbers, 50 percent of Americans now have an unfavorable view of Mitt Romney. That's sky high. The highest we've seen for a leading presidential candidate during the primaries in almost 30 years, George.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And he was trying to help that out by going on Leno last night. Okay, Jon Karl.

VIPS Keeping Neighborhoods Safe And Saving Taxpayers Money
Some central Ohio taxpayers are saving money and perhaps sleeping a little more safely thanks to the dedicated work of some volunteers.
The Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) at the Hardin County Sheriff's office have donated thousands of hours, according to the sheriff's office, with the goal of helping protect their community.
"There's always something to keep us busy," said Dick Hubbard, VIPS coordinator.
The group of sixteen volunteers consists of mostly retired and semi-retired individuals.
"I found out with retirement, you have to have something to do," said Mike Shuster, VIPS assistant coordinator.
What these sworn-in civil deputies do is everything from house checks to transportation to fingerprinting.
The group includes some former educators who even tutor drug recovery court participants who are studying for their GED.
"We think that we're doing something useful," said Hubbard.
"It's one of those things where you can contribute to your community," Shuster added.
Sheriff Keith Everhart says their work frees up his deputies to do more police work.
"This group is a phenomenal group," Everhart said. "They jump at anything I suggest or ask of them."
Everhart says together the volunteers easily put in more than 2,600 hours in 2013-more than what a full-time employee would work.
"At a minimum, they're saving Hardin County $30,000," he said.
It's all done in a way that makes these VIPS very important people for Hardin County.

Decision makers
- Monroe Township High School
Allow same-sex dates at prom
This discrimination against the students of MTHS who identify as LGBTQ and want to take their significant others to prom is ignorant and unfair. It is difficult enough to be true to oneself in high school without school authorities making it blatantly obvious that they do not see your relationships, and as an extension, you, as legitimate. Whatever reasoning the school system may have for this rule (i.e. prevents friends from getting discounted tickets, etc.) does not overrule this inequality; if heterosexual couples can buy "couple" tickets to prom, then homosexual couples should have that same privilege. It is nearly 2013. It's time to recognize all kinds of love, even if it starts with just a single high school prom.

Spending money we don't have. It's a national habit.
In fact, I'm willing to bet all the money I don't have that just about everyone reading this column is guilty to some degree. I'll even go deeper in the hole and suggest that credit addictions are more pervasive and more problematic than substance abuse.
Not to belittle the perils of substance addictions or oversimplify the impacts of geopolitical events, but I'm convinced that excessive indebtedness is the root of our current economic evils.
Who should take ownership of this problem? Obviously the buck stops with each individual consumer; but as an industry, retailers also have to acknowledge their roles in enabling the crippling credit habit.
That's why I tremble in trepidation when I hear executives like Anabel Perez, president and CEO of Miami-based NovoPayment, talk about the ways that using prepaid, reloadable cards will enable unbanked consumers in Latin America to establish financial histories and ultimately qualify for credit. (See story on page 127.)
The fundamental problem with credit accounts is that they empower people to live far beyond their means. The U.S. economy is painfully aware of the consequences of that philosophy—so now we're going to encourage similarly ill-gotten lifestyles in emerging markets?
However, credit in and of itself is not the problem—the problem is the "addiction," or extended use of credit to a degree that debt far outweighs earnings. It is incumbent on any business extending credit, whether it is a bank or a retailer, to become more selective in its lending practices.
Actually, I would agree that the benefits of prepaid, reloadable cards far outweigh any chance that they might lead to credit abuse and I applaud Perez for her role in promoting the adoption of electronic payments throughout Latin America.
On the home front, both domestically speaking and literally in my own personal home, prepaid, reloadable cards present an exceptional opportunity for conditioning all of us, especially "emerging" consumers like teens and young adults, to spend wisely in an increasingly cash-less society. (See the Facecard story on page 130 for an example of this growing trend.)
The beauty of prepaid, reloadable cards is that they empower consumers to enjoy all the conveniences of electronic transactions while preventing them from spending more than has been deposited to the debit account. The costs of purchasing and reloading cards are also reasonable.
Although service fees are associated with prepaid, reloadable cards, these costs pale beside the interchange rates charged by the major credit-card companies. Additionally, these service costs are blatantly obvious to the consumers who are paying them vs. the hidden interchange fees that consumers are oblivious to.
Encouraging consumers to spend what they don't have is just one problematic characteristic of credit cards—and admittedly, it's a rather esoteric, philosophical debate.
The bigger problem that merits immediate decisions are those interchange fees being imposed on every credit-card company transaction, including signature-debit transactions.
Last month, the Food Marketing Institute and the National Retail Federation endorsed the Credit Card Fair Fee Act, legislation that would allow retailers to negotiate with credit-card companies to reduce interchange fees.

Dodge Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello and welcome to JustAnswer!
The first thing you'll want to do is make sure it's in park and the transfer case is engaged in a gear (not neutral) and slide underneath. Find the wiring coming out of the transfer case shift motor on the left side. Make sure it hasn't gotten down into the driveshaft and rubbed through. Sometimes the harness will fall down and rub on the driveshaft until a wire shorts to ground.
If that looks ok then the next thing that would need to be done is have the codes read from the transfer case control module. Since the service four wheel drive light is on and it won't shift there will be stored fault codes to point in the right direction for diagnosis. Your problem could be the switch, module, wiring, internal transfer case, or the shift motor itself. The shift motor would be most common.

A break of confidence in our political institutions by part or all of the population may hinder the ability of the government to maintain social order.

I spent the morning hanging out with my mommy. She had a doctor's appointment and asked if I could come along. It meant I had to get my butt out of bed super early to get my 5 mile run in, but in a way that was good because it was nice and cool. After the appointment we had a late breakfast at Corner Bakery, her treat. 🙂
Besides the whole early morning doctor appointment annoying thing, it was all in all a good morning. She also gave me the antique ring from my grandma that had been fixed and resized, a late wedding card that had come in the mail (complete with a Macy's gift card!), and the last place setting that replaced one that had been broken when we opened it.
In other news, my new keychain came today!
I'm sooo excited about this! It may seem silly, but I am. It's that whole obsession with designer things thing.
This afternoon I really should keep working on the thank you notes. I got 22 done the other day but haven't touched them since. I think I'll also be going back to ballet tonight. Hopefully it's not too painful or difficult!

MARLBOROUGH'S reigning Young Rider European three-day event champion Laura Collett was among the winners at the first round of the national Jumping and Style (JAS) series.
The series, which combines cross country and showjumping in an indoor arena and leads to a national final at the end of February, is considered an ideal pre-season warm-up by many event riders.
The first qualifying round fell foul of the weather so riders flocked up to Solihull Arena in the West Midlands for the second, where Collett won two of the four qualifiers on offer.
The 20 year old, considered one of the sport's best prospects for the future, took two lorries with a total of seven horses up to the Midlands.
She dominated the Novice section, the third class of a packed day, taking three of the four top places.
New ride Noble Bestman, who is a brother to her Pony European gold medal winner Noble Springbok and will do Pony Trials with Grace Walker in the future, jumped a great double clear to win.
"He was a real star and was going well in the following Open qualifier too, until we had a minor mis-communication and turned too tight into one of the narrow fences," said Collett.
"I was also second on Jitterburg who was on flying form, especially as it was her first time out since 2008 – she was on her best behaviour."
Collett filled fourth spot on the rising eight-year-old Uno Di Landro, who was also 9th in the step lower BE100 qualifier.
Jitterbug, the chestnut mare who has evented successfully at Intermediate level in the past, went on to score an easy win in the Open section, completing on a style mark of just four.
Vancouver, who won the Hartpury CCI* international with Collett last summer, jumped a double clear to finish third. "Vancouver had got rather excited in the earlier Novice section and had a fence down – he thought he knew best and wasn't really listening to me," she added.
"He redeemed himself in the Open class."
VWH Hunt Pony Club member Pumbaa Goess-Saurau led the BE90 qualifier that started the day, finishing on a style mark of 10 to win by a clear two marks.
The competition was a close one, with just one mark separating the next five riders.
Goess-Saurau's partner was the mare Mayfair Daisy, a new ride in 2009 and also a winner in the JAS qualifying series last year, at West Wilts.
HUSBAND and wife international duo Alex and Alice Peternell were among the winners at Summerhouse Equitation Centre's first affiliated dressage meeting of the year.
The couple, who are based at Hinton near Chippenham, scored a hat-trick between them at the Gloucester competition.
Alice, who has ridden internationally on both Young Rider and Senior dressage teams, produced a double on her up and coming ride Fanset.
The horse, who won the Shearwater International six year old class at the Wellington Premier League show in 2009, topped two Elementary open sections.
He scored an impressive 70.59% to leave his rivals a distance behind in the 53 qualifying test.
Alex, who was born in South Africa and is an international event rider, won the step higher Medium 75 restricted test on AP Uprising. The rising nine year old evented with great success at two star international level last year, finishing seventh at Barbury Castle and eighth at Osberton, and rarely finished out of the top 10 in one day events.
Bradford-on-Avon young rider Jess Acheson was also on double form.
She led the Novice 37 restricted test on the rising eight-year-old mare Nobless, who she evented at Novice level in 2009, and the Elementary 43 restricted test on Kimberley.
SOUTH Wiltshire Riding Club's Dawn Slater-Bosley will be among a select group of riders making an appearance on Sky television.
The Oliver Townend Eventers Challenge Championship final, which was staged at Aintree racecourse in December, will be shown on the Sky 171/MY Channel TV schedule through February.
The competition, which combines show jumping and cross country, attracts riders from across the country in the qualifying rounds with only the best making the finals.
Slater-Bosley won the B2 2'9" Senior Championship which will be shown on Tuesday February 9 at 7pm, with repeats a day later at 7am and noon on the 13th at 1pm.
The A classes will be shown on February 2, the C classes on February 16 and the D sections on February 23, with repeats again on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
All the programmes can also be seen on www.countrychannel.tv, starting each Tuesday.
TWO Badminton based photographers are among a select group planning to offer their support to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) Haiti Earthquake Appeal.
Tim Nicholls and David Sinclair are two of 20 top equestrian photographers who have donated stunning original equestrian images, which will be sold though an online auction commencing 28 January 2010.
All involved in the project are giving their time and resources free so every penny raised at the auction will go directly to the DEC Appeal.
The auction provides a rare chance for members of the public to get their hands on some amazing original images taken by a plethora of award winning photographers.
Each image will be signed, mounted and framed.
Nicholls runs 'Optimal Photography' with his wife Bev specialising in equine photography, primarily three-day events and polo, and has worked with several of the world's top riders in a 25 year career.
Sinclair's work can be seen on www.shootshorses.com, which covers everything from polo in the snow at St Moritz to candid shoots of life around the Badminton estate.

HARI SREENIVASAN: We're joined now by the mayor of Charleston, W.Va., Danny Jones.
Thanks for joining us.
What is the latest that you're hearing now about the efforts to contain this spill?
DANNY JONES, Mayor of Charleston, W.Va.: Well, we know basically what we were told at the press conference this morning.
And we are at the mercy of the principals involved, mainly West Virginia American Water Company, because they are probably going to be decides when they feel like it's safe for people to bathe and to drink the water.
And you can't imagine what it's like to live in one of the nine counties affected in West Virginia, or in my home town of Charleston, W.Va., which is the urban part of that area, what it's like to not have any water to do anything except for flush commodes and put out fires.
HARI SREENIVASAN: Sorry.
The governor says that he doesn't know the details. The company in some ways hasn't said exactly how much has spilled out into the river. When do they have any expectation of when they will know more?
DANNY JONES: And that was my question this morning at the press conference.
And there is no timeline. There is no answer as to when the citizens of this valley and all these nine counties can affect this nightmare to end. And it has devastated this area in a way which is indescribable. Everything is closing.
And that means the Marriott Hotel. That means our Town Center Mall. No restaurant is allowed to open because you can't legally open without water. And it's been devastating for our area. People are in their homes. The schools are closed. You're not supposed to take showers and certainly not supposed to drink the tap water.
And we are distributing water out of a few of our fire stations, bottled water. And the West Virginia American Water has had truckloads of water to come in to try to distribute water to citizens, so they will have something to drink.
HARI SREENIVASAN: Now, we heard that there's almost a smell of black licorice either in the air or of the water. Have you smelled it? Have you tasted it?
DANNY JONES: I smelled it yesterday, when a gentleman from the office across the street came over to my office to get me. He knew me, and he took me across the street and I smelled it when I got outside. I had been inside for that afternoon.
And then he — I went up to his water fountain and then I tasted it. And I took a big drink of it, and I knew that there was something very wrong. And it wasn't much longer after that that the West Virginia Water Company and the governor and all those folks held a press conference. It wasn't the governor's press conference.
He was just happened to have been there, but was West Virginia American Water Company. And they have nothing but bad news for these citizens, and with no end in sight.
HARI SREENIVASAN: So have you heard of any of the possible health side effects? Are there clinics or hospitals reporting any adverse affects to people having drank this water?
DANNY JONES: No, we have not heard anything like that, and — which is good news. But it also means we really don't know what we're dealing with.
If there are outbreaks of any kind of reaction to this, I have not been informed of it. And I think, if it had happened in Charleston, I think I would have been informed of it. We're just told what not to do.
HARI SREENIVASAN: So, what are the contingency plans going forward?
I mean, now you know that you have this corporate citizen in your backyard. What kind of plans were there? What kind of plans do you hope there are if something like this ever happens again?
DANNY JONES: If you're talking about the chemical company, that company is not in the city of Charleston. They are about a quarter-mile down the Elk River, which is outside of our city limits.
We believe that they have three tanks up there. One of them leaked. And the chemical went through the — leaked through the wall and out into the Elk River. We believe that is what happened. So I think that any chance of that happening again would be nil because of precautions that will be taken.
But that doesn't help us out of the mess that we're in right now and all the questions about technicalities and about why weren't we notified when, I will be glad to try to answer that. But that doesn't — we are preoccupied with getting back to normal lifestyle with water to bathe in and tap water to drink and to prepare food with.
HARI SREENIVASAN: What do you want the — what do you want the company to be able to do in the next day or two?
DANNY JONES: I want West Virginia American Water to fix this. And I realize it's the chemical company's fault.
But West Virginia Water, West Virginian American Water has 40,000 miles of line that they run water through. And that — that goes out to a lot of people. And we want them to take advantage of whatever technology is out there and fix this.
And I believe that it must exist in this day and age that they can fix this and allow these people to get back to normal.
HARI SREENIVASAN: All right, Mayor Danny Jones of Charleston, W.Va., thanks so much for your time.
DANNY JONES: Thank you.

Brooklyn Brothers Beat the Best premiered at last year's Toronto International Film Festival. It was a fun and entertaining comedy so I'm glad to see it get a theatrical release, New York on September 21 and Los Angeles September 28 (at the brand new Sundance Cinemas). Ryan O'Nan wrote and directed his first feature and stars as Alex, a struggling musician who's only paid work is dressing as a moose and singing to children. A crazy fan, Jim (Michael Weston), convinces him to form a band with Jim playing baby toys to backup Alex's guitar. Their road trip takes them to many kooky towns, a fraternity called Theta Beta Potato, and Alex's religious brother's house. We chatted with O'Nan about his music and his movie.
CraveOnline: We met after your screening at TIFF last year. What has been your journey with the film over the last year?
Ryan O'Nan: It's been nuts, man. It's a little Cinderella story in the sense of we got bought by a really brilliant company. It's one of my favorite companies, a young indie company, Oscilloscope Laboratories. I just love them so much and I've always loved everything that they put out. They put out these really interesting little films and documentaries. I feel so lucky to be part of their catalog. And the band, we got signed to a major label, Warner Brothers Music. We went in and recorded a record which, seriously man, is one of my proudest things I've ever done. We went into the studio and put together this record. It doesn't sound too produced or anything. It sounds nice and kind of homegrown the way I really wanted it. It comes out on CD and on iTunes and we have pressed vinyl LPs too, which has always been a dream of mine to have a vinyl record.
Is that as The Brooklyn Brothers?
Yeah, it's called Brooklyn Brothers: The Album.
Is it music from the movie or all new music?
It's six songs from the movie that we play in the movie, all those six songs. Then two songs that are in the movie that I wrote and have other people covering in the film. Then there's two new songs that are not in the film at all. I wanted a sense of this is where the Brooklyn Brothers could go or continue onto.
And that's you and Michael Weston?
Yeah, it's me and Mike.
I think I have one of your soundtracks from Toronto.
Oh yeah, we had those little 7"es. This is like a full LP, like the real deal, man. Like Michael Jackson's Thriller LP back in the day was my first thing that I was like this belongs to me, this defines me, this is the coolest sh*t.
I knew your work as an actor in movies like The Dry Land. Were you just not being offered comedies so you made one yourself?
Oh, I don't even know that it lands like that. The life of an actor is a tough one, man. You go out for stuff, you hope for this and you hope for that. You never know what's going to land first. For me, I love dramas so much and I really love comedies. John Hughes is my favorite writer/director of all time. I've always loved all his sh*t. I like a good mix. I guess the beginning of my career, I mean I'm still in the beginning of my career, started off with a little more dramas being what landed first, which I'm very thankful for. Like that movie The Dry Land, I love that film. I'm so proud of it. It couldn't be more different than Brooklyn Brothers. It does have that road trip aspect.
But making your own movie, you wanted to do a comedy?
Yeah, I love comedies, man. I like dramedies I guess. I like comedies that open you up with some laughs and then they get you in the gut with some of the deeper, more human stuff. My favorite movies have always been like that.
Were you a fan of the Battle of the Bands genre where you're following the underdog band to the show?
You know, everybody always mentions, "Oh, it's another…" How many movies are like that? I can't think of too many. There's definitely some. Once is an amazing music movie and I love Spinal Tap, but maybe I just didn't watch enough music movies because I can't think of too many. Maybe they had them in the '80s. What are some good Battle of the Band movies?
I feel like Blues Brothers had a big show at the end, whether it was a battle or not. Bill and Ted was obviously a different sort of road trip but they had a battle of the bands in Bogus Journey.
That's true, totally. I definitely wasn't trying to redefine [a genre]. It's a genre piece in the sense of it is a road trip movie, [and a] Battle of the Bands. For me sometimes it's not as much about what happens. It's more how it happens. That's what I really dig. I'm not comparing myself to John Hughes, he's on a whole other level as far as I'm concerned, but you could look at his stuff and say, "Oh my God, his stuff is about teenagers that don't quite fit in and then all of a sudden they find themselves with somebody that sees them, just reoccurring themes over and over again in all his stuff." But I love that stuff.
Right, I asked actually because Brooklyn Brothers kind of subverts some of the conventions of Battle of the Bands movies.
What I was trying to get at I guess to a certain extent, if I wanted anybody to take anything away from it at the end it would be I guess that it's not about the end goal as much. The sooner we lose these definitions of what success are and failure, the quicker we grow I think. It's less about the destination and more about the journey that you go on. This actually happened to me in real life. With one of my bands we were supposed to play this big New Years Eve concert in this big arena, a sports arena, and it was like a coveted bill. If you get the opening slight on this, oh my God. We worked like crazy and then we got that slot. Then at the very last second we got bumped but the people didn't tell us that we got bumped or they tried to but they didn't have the right number or something like that. So we show up and we're not on the show and we're like, "What the f***? Oh my God, what the hell? This is so awful." But what we ended up doing is we just ended up playing in front of the arena for about 100 kids that had gone there hoping to get tickets and didn't get into the show and it was so much fun. It was a real learning lesson too of just where the heart center of something can be.
How much else was autobiographical? Did you ever have a job involving a moose suit, or a brother with really bible-centric values?
There's definitely things in there. It's not my specific life but my younger sister is wicked smart. She taught herself how to read when she was three years old and her teachers recommended that she skip second grade and she did, and had a real hard time in school because of it because she was just so different from everybody else. She was so different from everybody else. She was so much younger and still smart, like faster and quicker. She was reading novels when she was in kindergarten when the rest of the kids were still learning their ABCs and stuff like that and it was really hard for her. I remember at the time, she was like 10 years younger than me and I was still going through my own stuff as a teenager. I just wanted to say, "Man, hold onto it. Hold on. You'll come out the other side and you'll be stronger because of it but it seems so hard in the moment." I based [Alex's nephew] Jackson a lot on my relationship with my little sister Sarah. What else is in the movie? Oh, when I was on tour in my band years ago, we actually played at the Theta Beta Potato house. I remember waking up, we were driving around in this nearly windowless van, obviously not the front window. That wouldn't work. We were driving into a residential avenue and I was like, "What the hell? Are we playing at somebody's house?" They were like, "I don't know, man. The address is weird." We literally pulled up in front of this old dilapidated mansion and there was a big symbol that said Beta, Theta and a big Potato symbol. It was just these punk kids that had kind of co-opted this building that was going to be demolished. They just threw concerts there every day and nobody got paid and it was such a blast. My drummer actually did wake up only in his underwear next to some random person the next morning.
Was your music always in the style of Brooklyn Brothers?
No, I played in an indie punk band for a few different bands. The one I toured around in the most was this band called Against the Wall. It was definitely kind of a more socio-political band,very influenced by bands like Propagandhi and At the Drive-In. Then I was in a band with my brother and one of my best friends at the time called Jennifer's Tigers that was very post-punk influenced by bands like The Who and Unwound and stuff. I guess as I got older and I was thinking about what I wanted to do with the movie, the music for the movie, I didn't want it to be lost in any particular time period or any particular fad. I thought it would be really interesting to explore this idea of can you bring your childhood dreams into your adult life and do they in fact survive. I thought that would be interesting for it to be the method they explore that is with the tools of children essentially. I'd seen a friend's band that played like this called Crayon Rosary. I just thought that that sound would be perfect for this. So I started writing all these songs. I had a few songs written and they were all kind of influenced by the music I listened to as a young kid riding around in my dad's car with all that kind of '80s new wave like The Cure and Men at Work and Cyndi Lauper and Madonna, The Police and The Cars, stuff like that. I'd say those are my biggest influences in writing the songs.
Are you keeping the baby instruments on the album?
Yes. We're on tour right now. We just stopped back in L.A. We've been playing on the east coast and from here we're going back to New York for the opening, the premiere and stuff. Then we're going to Portland and Seattle and then we're playing a few shows in L.A. All with baby toys.

The '30 Seconds to Mars' member says that the golden trophy sustained a damage and 'had another nick' after it was passed around among his friends.
Just a month after Jared Leto received a Best Supporting Actor trophy for his role in "Dallas Buyers Club" at the Oscars, the singer/actor admitted that the statue was "a filthy mess." Leto, who apparently is not really concerned about the trophy, talked about the prize in a new interview with The Associated Press, saying that it had sustained more damages.
"I damaged it. But then I came home and saw it had another nick on it. So it looks like someone else had fun with it, too," said the member of 30 Seconds to Mars. "My Oscar is a filthy mess. Everybody was pawing that thing. I kind of was just passing it around at parties. A couple of times I lost sight of it and I thought, 'You know, if it goes away, it's not meant to be mine.' But it always seemed to find its way back to me."
A few days after the Oscar win, Leto told Entertainment Tonight Canada that the statue got damaged. "I was letting some of the people that I work with take a picture with the Oscar and I was carrying it down the stairs and, boom, I hit it against the stairs, the railing and I put a little nick in the back of it... so you know, that's how it goes. It's already lived in, as they say," he recalled.
The multi-talented star, who is currently promoting documentary film "Artifact" which he directed, also said in the new interview that receiving the trophy contributed to more opportunities. "Yeah, I'm looking at scripts and reading scripts. Which is interesting because I didn't read scripts for years before 'Dallas Buyers Club'. But now ... you have opportunities to work with people that you really respect or admire, people whose work has been inspiring and influential," he explained.

An In-Depth Review of the Elos Digital Osmocontroller
A Few weeks ago we did an article on choosing an auto top. Over the course of the next few weeks I will be doing a more in-depth spotlight on each of our most common auto top offs to help you identify which has the features you are looking for. First up the Elos Digital Osmocontroller.
The Elos Digital Osmocontroller is a one of a kind auto top off system. With a probe that barely measures 1/3" in diameter, it is by far the smallest form factor sensor on any auto top off system. We have a few of them setup across the office and its one of our "go-to" models depending on what type of system its going in.
The Elos Digital Osmocontroller includes a small DC pump to move water from your storage container to your tank/sump. I prefer the DC pump because the low current DC pumps don't require you to submerge a pump that is running full line voltage. Sure most of the equipment in the tank is running at 120v AC right into the tank, but if the DC option is available I prefer it. The pump measures only 4.25" tall and 1.5" across which makes it ideal for fitting into small locations. The pump comes hardwired to the main controller unit. While I haven't actually experienced any problems with the pumps and its not likely you would have a snail or rock in your top off container, it would still be nice if they were easy to remove if you needed to replace one.
The main controller itself is also quiet small coming in at about 3.25" wide and 1.5" tall. It has built in mounting slots on the sides of the controller for screws. The controller has 3 indicator lights, "LEVEL" which remains solid on when water is detected and flashes when low water is detected, "ALARM" which activates when the system enters alarm mode, and "PUMP" which lights up when the pump is active. A nice feature that I haven't seen on any other top off systems is the manual fill button. When you hold the button down it will activate the pump until you let go. A handy feature for when forget to fill the container and have to catch up on a bit of top off.
The water sensing of the Elos Osmocontroller is done by a unique temperature sensing mechanism. The probe has a small heater as well as a temperature sensor. Being the great conductor of heat that water is, when the probe is submerged the small amount of heat generated by the probe quickly dissipates into the surrounding water. When the water evaporates and exposes the tip of the probe the heat no longer has the water to quickly dissipate the heat. This causes the tip of the probe to heat up and the temperature sensor in the probe detects this.
Once the low water state has been detected the green indicator light on the controller will start to flash green. If this continues for a full 30 minutes the computer will turn on the top off pump (while the pump is active the LED indicator labeled "PUMP" will light up). The controller will turn the pump on for a fixed amount of time and turn off. I would like to tell you exactly how much water it will pump each cycle but this will vary on head pressure and your individual setup. If the amount of top off water was enough to submerge the end of the probe the level indicator LED will go back to constant green. If the amount of top off water wasn't sufficient the LED will continue to blink green and the process will repeat itself over the course of another 30 minutes.
In the event this process repeats itself 5 times and the probe has not come back into contact with water the controller will put the system into alarm mode. The "ALARM" indicator light will turn on and the pump will be disabled. This is because the system assumes that something has gone wrong. The most common reason would be that your ATO reservoir is empty, but it could be that your tank is leaking, or you didn't quiet add enough water on your last water change. In an event the alarm mode can be reset by power cycling the unit.
This alarm state shouldn't happen under normal circumstances as you would have to have a really high level of evaporation (like a really large tank) to the point that your evaporating more in 30 minutes then the pump can turn on to compensate for. If you have a very large tank or one with a really high amount of evaporation, this ATO system isn't going to be your best bet for this reason.
Setup of the Digital Osmocontroller is pretty straight forward. The whole unit only comes as 4 parts, the main unit/pump (there wired together from the factory), the probe which connects via a USB type connection, the power cable, and the bracket. The unit also comes with tubing for the pump. Basically the parts plug in where they fit, with the only connections being the probe and the power supply into the controller.
The first thing you want to do is figure out where you're going to mount the controller, keeping in mind the cord lengths (58" on the probe cord, 3ft on the pump cord, and a 6ft power cord). Once you have the controller mounted place the pump in the top off container and run the tubing to the sump or the tank. Either works, just be sure your pump from a lower location to a higher one, as to not create a siphon.
Next you're going to want to mount the probe. The probe should be mounted in the return pump chamber of the sump as this will be the area where the evaporation actually lowers the water level. The Elos comes with a thin plastic bracket that slides over the lip of the sump. Once the bracket is on the tank the sensor is secured to the bracket via the included zip ties at the height you desire.
The bracket itself isn't the fanciest mounting solution of any top off system but it does the trick and its low profile. I think one of the nice features of this particular auto top off is that you don't have to use it though. The probe is small and easy to zip tie to a variety of things so for a lot of the smaller tanks around the obvious it is attached to various probe holders, brackets, etc.
Once the probe is mounted you will want to plug the other end of the cable into the main controller of the ATO. The system is basically setup at this point, you just need to plug the power cable in.
The Elos Digital Osmocontroller is a great option for most. It is the smallest sensor of any ATO system and its flexibility in mounting the sensor make it great for a variety of tanks. This is why it's one of the very few (or only) options that could be used well with a sumpless tank (most top off systems mount their sensors so far down from the rim that the water level would be an inch or two below the trim). The fixed volume of dosing can be both a blessing and a curse. On the plus side it means that the pump is always going to run for a minimum amount of time. This prevents short cycling of the pump and should extend its life. By the same note it may make this ATO not suitable for very large tanks as if the evaporation is too great the pump may not keep up and set the ATO into alarm mode. If you're interested in dosing kalk in your ATO it has some ups and downs as well. The nice thing is that you are always going to get a consistent amount of kalk dosed into the tank. The downside is that if your tank is small, its likely not well suited to dosing kalk via this ATO because it may add too much to your tank each time.
There might be issues to consider if you use kalk on a very small tank or own an exceptionally large tank, but for the vast majority of folks with tanks big and small, the Elos Digital Osmocontroller is a fantastic, easy to setup, easy to mount, easy to use option. In typical Elos fashion it looks pretty sharp too!
Do you own an Elos Osmocontroller? If so share what you think of yours below! If your interested in more articles or (the rest of the ATO series) and want to see more, we do them every week and you find them all right here.

In its submission to New Zealand's Commerce Commission, IAG has argued that competitive dynamics "will remain unchanged" if the Australian insurance giant's $1.85 billion takeover tilt for Wesfarmers' insurance underwriting business gets the green light from corporate regulators.
"In both personal and commercial insurance lines, the merged entity will continue to face meaningful competitive constraint from existing competitors," according to IAG's submission.
IAG, which owns prominent insurance brands NRMA and CGU in Australia, stressed that the merged entity would continue to face stiff competition from other players in New Zealand.
Some of these companies include Tower and Vero which would "continue to exert competitive pressure on the merged entity".
Other smaller players, including FMG and MAS, have targeted niche segments of consumers successfully, IAG argued.
IAG is poised to become New Zealand's biggest player in intermediated insurance, which covers commercial insurance sold by brokers, following its purchase of Wesfarmers' insurance business.
The deal, which was unveilled before Christmas, includes Wesfarmers' Lumley and WFI brands. It will also make IAG the biggest insurer in Australia.
IAG boss Mike Wilkins previously noted that he was confident of securing the competition regulators' approval for the deal.
"We think that regulators will approve this and that's what we're concentrating on," Mr Wilkins said.
"We'll cross that bridge if we do find that there are impediments to that and clearly we've thought through what those actions might be, but at this stage we're very confident that it will be approved in full."
The Commerce Commission is expected to hand down its decision on Friday.

Jesus is not risen
I know what you're thinking. Either Alan has lost his mind, or this is an April Fools Day joke. Well, I don't think I've lost my mind, and this is not an April Fools Day joke.
Instead, as I've been thinking about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, thinking how God might want to use me to encourage and teach the church, I've also been thinking about my own life.
Imagine for a moment that the person you cared for most in your life (maybe your spouse, or parent, or child) died. That person was dead dead… completely dead and buried. A couple of days later, that person rises from the dead. Note, this was not the result of medical intervention. The physicians gave up days ago. The mortician had already done his work. And, this dead person came back to life. What would be your response?
That's what I've been thinking about lately. How would I respond?
I think I would respond to this "real" resurrection differently than the way that I respond to Jesus' resurrection. Obviously, my response does not indicate that Jesus is not risen. But, my response (or lack thereof) does indicate what I really think about Jesus' resurrection.
To be honest, I live most of my life as if Jesus was not risen. Oh, I "know" he's risen. And I profess that he's risen. And I believe that he's risen. But, for the most part, when does his resurrection actually intersect my life? At what point is my life different – day by day, priorities, choices, actions, etc.?
My words are consistent: "Jesus is risen!" But, my life is inconsistent. Sometimes my life claims, "Jesus is not risen."
I need help. I need reminders. I need more than an annual reminder. I need encouragement and admonition to live each day as if Jesus was risen and still alive. This is one way that I hope to encourage brothers and sisters when we talk about the resurrection. I guess that's a good thing about this time of year. We tend to focus on the resurrection, while we're thinking about bunnies and chocolate. But, what about other times of the year? What about next Monday?
So, when we're talking about the resurrection, I'm going to ask my brothers and sisters to remind me – daily if necessary – that Jesus is alive. I'm going to ask them to warn me when I'm living as if he's not alive. I'm going to ask them to show me how to live as if he is risen.
Jesus is risen! But, when I live as if he's not risen, my words mean little. I thank God that he's surrounded me with brothers and sisters in Christ who can help me live as if he is risen. Then, not only my words, but my life will say, "Jesus is risen!"

What are some concrete examples of of how your daily decisions, priorities, and choices would change if you were living like that was true all the time?
I ask, because I genuinely want to know what that would look like in my life and in the lives of others?
This has dominated my thinking for about 2 weeks now…so glad to read this. I LOVE THIS POST! And Alan…in case you've already forgotten;)….JESUS IS ALIVE!!!!!!
Alan, for me it has issued in incredible freedom. I sense no need to make things happen but simply to walk with / in Christ and be God-like…as he was / is. He is in me. I am in him. He is God man, and, I guess…so am I. If he is alive…i am with him and he is with me. I don't have to make things happen I simply have to be who I am…Him.
Beautiful post. Agonizing. Honest. Transparent. Humbling. And exactly how I feel.
He is ALIVE, He answers prayer, He answered me,
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Mark 11:24
pls don't fall into Satan's trap!!!

Just got back from a three day backpacking trip through the Mt. Thielsen Wilderness starting at the Howlock Mountain / Thielsen Creek trail head. After a steady incline over 5.7 miles (or so) we made camp at the base of Mt. Thielsen at Thielsen Creek for two nights (see photo).
On Saturday, we day hiked over to Thielsen's west ridge and hiked up a ways. Most guide books talk only of the last 100 feet or so of the ascent when they describe the challenges – and I think this leads folks to believe that the entire west ridge is a "cattle trail" to that last pitch. Actually, there is some pretty steep hiking / scrambling below that pinnacle – and inexperienced hikers can quickly find themselves in uncharted territory. With the loose rock – even some experienced hikers will find themselves out of their comfort zone. And, remember, to get to that last ridgeline mile above 7000 ft, you've already covered 4 miles of steady elevation gain in the summer heat (if you're planning on doing this in a single day). Don't underestimate this "hike".
On Sunday – back out the route we came. Not many miles overall – but some great views – and a few reasonable photos.
Now, when the topic of backpacking comes up – some people talk photography – some talk food or gear or location.
I'm not planning to turn Camera 47 into a food blog (there are plenty of those, like Simply Recipes or Chocolate and Zucchini or Get Your Grill On)- but – I did stumble onto some reasonably good backcountry meals that I think are tasty, convenient, and well priced.
When I first started backpacking, I typically packed along gorp (peanuts, raisins, M&M's) and single serving dehydrated dinners (mmmm… chili mac…). Well, some years ago, while on the West Coast Trail, I was introduced to gourmet, home-prepared food on the trail – and, really, I've been spoiled since. But, on this trip, time was running short, and I was running short on creativity for "gourmet", when Angie found these single-serving meals at Trader Joe's that looked worth a try. The two I brought along were Vegetable Jambalaya and Indian Fare Punjab Choley. They were both around $2.10 each.
First, the Punjab Choley was excellent! Take the sealed foil packet – place it in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes – open the packet – and eat wonderfully spicy food. Second, the Vegetable Jambalaya had the same ease of cooking – good spice and, again, great taste. Not as spicy as the Punjab Choley (the jambalaya could have used a bit of hot sauce) – but quite good nonetheless.
The only draw back when compared to the traditional backpacking meal is weight. The Punjab Choley was near 12oz instead of the 5-7oz for a typical freeze dried meal. For a two night trip – it was a reasonable trade off.
