sahar said: Mon Oncle
'tis in my queue! i'm so excited (and i just can't hide it)! i've been thinking about seeing this ever since i read that herzog & de meuron's blue house was partially inspired by tati's uncle movie ..
rusty! i see your 'burbs and raise you
Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House (1948)
the home page image of mon oncle is definitely a great nod to architecture on film. j.arleo, i'd have to say tron legacy was a bit disappointing, but the original comic con trailer was awesome showing an out-of-control, sprawling urbanism, which didn't happen in the final movie.
playtime (also tati)

the architects (1991, german)
into eternity
jarleo i would say the architecture/urbanism displayed in the Aeon Flux cartoon is way better (although much more dystopian that the movie visually)...
Surprisingly, every Die Hard movie deals with an architectural/urban typology through fictionalized violence. Die Hard 1 deals with skyscrapers, Die Hard 2 with airports, Die Hard 3 with the interconnectedness of underground infrastructures and Die Hard 4 with the compartmentalization of architectural space in the internet age........
My Architect: A Son's Journey (2003)
Koolhaas Houselife
The oldest and the best (I guess)
I just saw "Babe- Pig in the City" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120595/) with my four-year old. It is bizarre, bordering on un-watchable. However, the "city" of the title is a marvelous, outrageous fantastic conglomeration of cities all over the world. When Babe looks out the window of the hotel, the skyline includes iconic structures from Paris, Shanghai, New York, Chicago, Sydney, San Francisco- all mashed up and sprouting improbably from an Escher-esque landscape.
I would also recommend "The Life Aquatic with Steve ZIssou"(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0362270/)- good film and there are some really unique scenes of the ship in cross-section that are sure to get architect-types all hot and bothered.
For cheap thrills, I admit that I enjoyed the shoot-out that takes place in the atrium of Guggenheim from "The International" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0963178/)- the whole place gets totally trashed as good guys and bad guys work their way around the ramps taking shots at each other. I also geeked out over the shoot-out in Gehry's IAC Building from the Will Ferrell/Marky-Mark movie "The Other Guys" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1386588/).

I spent one night with my friend there in january. For the price is a good place to stay, near to the main square. The water was hot but the blankets weren't enough for the cold night. The bedroom doors didn't have keys, although our things were there the whole day and nothing happened. There is a sign saying that the guests should come back till midnight. Small and cute breakfast.

Very nice place, me and my two friends shared a 14 mixed bed room during the new years season and didnt have any problem. The room was pretty quite and clean, and we had our own bathroom there.

Max Factor Volume Couture Mascara Reviews
One of the best mascaras ever!I recently received a full-sized sample of L'Oreal's Double Extend Mascara and the only thing it's accomplished is that it's made me miss Max Factor's Volume Couture mascara like crazy!

LOVE IT!I love this mascara beacuse it really opens up your eyes by creating lots of volume. I find that other mascaras like BadGal Lash and Voluminous do wonders for the length but not so much for the volume. This mascara gives a little length and tons of volume. Buy it in auburn if you have blue or green eyes to widen them even more. But hurry because I heard this product is going to be replaced by a new mascara soon! — 8 years, 11 months agolaurx0xriley | 20 reviews

OK cruise for a short vacation: Norwegian Sky Cruise Review by TABG
Overall Member Rating
OK cruise for a short vacation
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Miami
Embarkation went really smooth and we were one of the first to board. The ship use to be the Pride of Aloha and is decorated in the Hawaiian theme. This ship should still be in the Hawaiian island because it has the feel of the island with the decor. However, the ship is old and you can really see that when you walk around and definitely when it is sailing. This More ship is really small and within the first hour we knew exactly where everything was located.
We had a balcony stateroom midship which was small but big enough for the two of us for a short cruise. We do not think we would have been able to fit clothes or a third person into the stateroom for a longer cruise.
The buffet was probably one of the worst on any of the NCL ships that we have sailed. It was small with very limited selections at any meal. One morning I wanted an omelet and no one was able to make it for me. Another day the waffle maker wouldn't even turn on. We really like crispy french fries and when we requested them the staff acted like we were bothering them. Needless to say we never were able to get crispy fries once on the cruise.
We only ate at the Palace Dining Room and while the food was alright most night it was nothing to write home about either. We only had one wait staff during our cruise that seemed to really enjoy his job. He was funny and made dining a wonderful experience. Most of the staff was just there and did not want to do anything more than they really had to do. Each evening their was a good selection of choices so we never had to go to the standard items on the menu. This was a pleasant surprise over our last sailing.
The one thing that did surprise us was that the dining room never asked us if we wanted to share a table at dinner. One night they sat 4 couples each at their own table for 4 and even sat a senior gentlemen at a table for 4 by himself. We thought that NCL sat people together unless they requested to eat alone. This was the first time we sailed without anyone else and thought we would get the opportunity to sit with others but we guess that simply is not done on NCL.
The ports of call were less than expected. We were really surprised that Nassau and Grand Bahama Island did not have much to do on them. In Nassau we did go to the Junakaroo museum which was a lot of fun and educational at the same time. Though we did have to admit it is one of those places that you only go to once. We figure if we ever go back we might go see Atlantis, wonder around town a little but mostly stay aboard the ship.
Great Stirrup Bay is NCL's private island and we were expecting so much more than what we got. They brought tender boats but would not take the first boat across until they could fill the boat to over 3/4 full or about 350 people. This resulted in the group that went for the first tender to stand on the stairs for over 20 minutes and then sit on the boat for another 30 minutes before they finally took us over to the island. We managed to get chairs under a tree so we did not have to rent anything. However, we did realize that they don't bother cleaning up after the previous ship leaves the island. There was cigarette buts, bottle caps, and trash throughout the chair area. We booked the Eco Adventure Tour and was surprised that it was around Royal Caribbean's private island which looked so much nicer than the one we were on. Lunch was a hamburger (not cooked completely) or chicken with a few salads and basically only fruit for desert. We opted to return to the ship shortly after we had lunch.
The entertainment on the ship went from fair to non-existent. The shows in the evening we fair. We did enjoy the comedian but his show was exactly the same for the two shows. We had seen him before of the Disney Magic and was surprised to find him on an NCL ship. The other shows were simply average shows that needed a lot more work to make them a quality show. We really wish NCL would eliminate the fountain part of the final show it is in bad taste for a cruise line plus all the germs them are spreading between crew members. We were surprised that the officers were not introduced at any of the shows. We have never been on a cruise that the captain was not introduced. During the day and late evening we were surprised to find the lack of music around the ship unless piped in music was what you were looking for.
This was a short cruise to see the Bahamas and we did not expect much more than that. And that was exactly what we received. We basically got what we paid for but all in all we managed to get away for a few days and relax. Less

Cabin review: BA9229 Mid-Ship Balcony
The cabin is really small for the category. It was big enough for a short 4 night cruise for 2 people but could never hold 3 people or clothes enough for a longer cruise. We were glad that our third person could not come along because we would never have fit into the room.Read All Mid-Ship Balcony (BA) Reviews >>

For the frugal travellers, rest easy knowing our prices are the most competitive in the city.
Not only this, but discounts are offered throughout the city to our guests for pubs to cafes to entertainment venues.

-The rumours are true, we do have a pool table.
-Showers and bathrooms are located on each floor and shared between the lads and ladies.
-We do not accept guests under the youthful age of 18 due to our fears of irreversible corruption as a result of interactions with our staff team. Also for legal reasons.

High Street Hostel
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
We stayed here because we were taking the MacBackpackers three day tour of the Highlands and it was owned by the same company. They also own two other hostels in town. It was very basic, but had a great location. Next time I might try one of the other two hostels that they own instead though. The company itself is great, but this one seems to be populated by long term residents and it's hard to navigate as a visitor.

Otto Porter dressed as a Globetrotter for Wizards Halloween party
Some of the Washington Wizards got into the Halloween spirit this week before the team kicks off the regular season, and Otto Porter Jr. stole the show with his Harlem Globetrotters costume, alongside Kelly Oubre Jr., who went as a nerd/"Urkel's little cousin," and DeJuan Blair, who went as "Shark."
• Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki, Rick Carlisle unveil Halloween costumes
Of course, the key to any Globetrotters costume is not the afro or striped shorts, but having the silky smooth on-court moves to back it all up, and Porter let everyone know he has what it takes with a slow motion finger roll.
Blair is the veteran of this group so he gets a bit of a pass, but that is one boring costume. He couldn't even throw on a blue shirt or a fin or something?
This has been an Extra Mustard Halloween costume critique


text: After much trying, I was able to get a picture of the often sighted squirrel with the deformed tail. This was taken with my iPhone so I couldn't get a zoom on it. I'll bring my camera and try to get a better close up of it. The squirrel's tail isn't hairless like a rats, it just has a real thin coating of hair with a little tuft at the end. Not at all a bushy tail. I don't know if it's genetic or environmental. Check it out.

HISTORY lovers will be able to spend more time in a museum in Chelmsford from Saturday.
The opening hours of the Essex Police Museum, in Kingston Crescent, Springfield, are being extended on Saturdays.
Currently the building is only open on the first Saturday of the month, between 10am and 3pm, but this will change to being open every Saturday, from 10am until 4pm.
In another change, the museum will no longer open on Wednesdays.
Becky Wash, the museum's curator, said the new times will give people more of a chance to look at the history of the county's police force.
Ms Wash said: "Our opening times will allow people to drop in when they aren't at work and children aren't at school. School groups will be able to visit during the week, but by appointment only."

No disaster in recent history has highlighted the importance of environmental stewardship than the recent Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico. South Florida is home to some of America's most beautiful environmental treasures, including our beaches and the Everglades. These natural resources are the foundation of Florida's economy, and for that reason, I have long advocated for immediate investment in renewable energy instead of the expansion of offshore oil drilling.
Transitioning America to renewable sources of energy will not only help us combat global climate change, but help us strengthen our national security and grow our economy. By reducing our dependence on oil from the Middle East, we can avoid supporting regimes that do not have America's best interests at heart.
I am working to move our transition to renewable energy and energy efficiency forward in Congress. Within my first few weeks in Congress, the House of Representatives adopted my amendment to the Home Star Energy program extending energy efficient rebates to homeowners rebuilding after natural disasters. I support initiatives like the Home Star Program and the Investment Act, which will spur consumer demand for energy efficient products and technology and help revitalize America's manufacturing sector.
I am confident that Florida can become a leader in the national movement to create a green energy future. There is enormous potential for industries in solar power, ocean current technology, and biofuel development to create new jobs in South Florida and help steer our country towards a more secure energy future.

Sewickley Academy boys tennis team again a WPIAL favorite
With outstanding depth, the Sewickley Academy boys tennis team is heavily favored to win its 10th straight WPIAL Class AA title.
The Panthers, who open the season Tuesday against Mars, return six starters, including senior Colin Kaye, the defending WPIAL singles champion, and seniors Patrick Dellinger and Will Kleeman, who won the WPIAL doubles title a year ago.
A junior national champion in platform tennis this year, Kleeman also was on a doubles team that claimed the WPIAL championship in 2011.
The three are among 11 players vying for starting positions. Others include freshman Brian Rosario, sophomore Wyatt Geller and juniors Danny McCormick, Andrew Parda, Luke Vith and Logan Yee.
Seniors Hayden Moyer and Luke Schramm also are contending for playing time.
"With so many good players, it's tough deciding on a lineup," said coach Whitney Snyder, noting that 37 boys tried out for the team.
While he doesn't expect it to be a problem in the WPIAL, Snyder said a lack of a standout player may hurt the Panthers at the PIAA tournament, where they have reached the semifinals the past two years.
"We don't have that player you build a team around, someone who's a cornerstone," agreed Kleeman, 18, one of four captains.
With Sewickley Academy expected to take first place, Quaker Valley hopes to be a challenger in Section 3-AA.
Junior Jeremy Balmwell, the Quakers' No. 1 player, returns after competing at the section singles championship last year.
In his fourth year on the team, senior Garrett Powell will play second singles.
Sophomore David Allada and senior Matt Stock are fighting for the third singles spot.
Doubles players include seniors Dante Piccolo and Seba Pereira and junior Cameron Fadzen.
Also on the team are freshmen Charlie Veeck and Jonathan Reboton, sophomores Keaton Grant and Sam Falk and juniors Hugh Rice, Winter Fondi and KJ Devlin.
"Being a public school, we can't get kids the way Sewickley Academy and other private schools do," said acting coach Ed "Pucky" Perry, who came out of retirement to guide the Quakers this season. "It's hard to find players."
Before the streak was interrupted last year, the Quakers qualified for the WPIAL playoffs 11 straight times, reaching the semifinals in 2011.
Quaker Valley was WPIAL champion in 2002 and 2003, the last time a team other than Sewickley Academy won the title.
Sewickley Academy was runner-up both years.

Bwhaaat? Blood Bowl Star Coach beta popped up on Steam
It's the F2P "management" game. Not sure whether I should be excited.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/221120/Steam - SandmanXC
Tried it out briefly and so far...meh.
It's obviously an early beta as the client keeps hanging in places.
For the actual game it seems you can challenge 5 people a day who have 2 hours to respond to you, so far my skaven are 0.1.2 so that's going badly :P
Your team is only 7 players from the 6 basic teams you chose from. From there you can seemingly hire different players, level them up as they gain xp and pick various tactics for the team.
The tactics bit is the biggest setting, you can chose and edit the starting offensive and defensive setups and pick these each time you send or recieve a challenge to suit various opponents. You can also give individual players various "if then" statements from a fairly extensive list.
To be honest I think it could be interesting and a little time sink, but I highly doubt it'll give anything of the actual BB game to me. Would be best suited to being on tablets whilst you're doing something else but it doesn't really seem to have enough depth for a management style game, but then I never was a football manager player.

Apple is reportedly on the verge of unveiling a brand new newspaper subscription model optimized for the iPad. Since a swelling number of avid newspaper readers now digest their daily news content electronically - and mostly for free - on their mobile devices, Apple apparently sees an opportunity to implement yet another money-making scheme to capitalize on this growing trend.
If reports prove accurate, Apple will basically introduce a "revenue sharing model" remarkably analogous to that which has already been used for apps sold in the Apple App Store. According to the San Jose Mercury News, Apple may implement an "opt-in function" that lets subscribers "share their personal information" with publications. This data, of course, is vital to the remaining print publications, as they depend on that highly relevant information to do business with a variety of advertisers.
If the San Jose Mercury News report is accurate, then the publishers rumored to be involved are likely not thrilled withWhile a handful of national papers already offer app subscriptions to iPad users, major metropolitan papers across the country are getting ready to roll out their own publication apps and have been in discussions with Apple. Industry leaders hope tablet devices and subscription-based digital editions can help newspapers stem, if not reverse, losses incurred after they began offering up content online for free years ago.
Apple, as the publishers wanted to "pay Apple a fee" rather than a cut of subscription and advertising revenue. Apple's terms to do the deal, however, call for a revenue sharing model. And since Apple has what all the publications need, it looks like Apple may very well get what it wants.
Then again, what else is new?

China's Military Chiefs Lecture the Visiting U.S. Defense SecretaryBy
U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is visiting Beijing, and yesterday he got an earful about China's favorite bête noir: Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The Chinese are waging rhetorical war against Japan's nationalist leader, who spent much of last year traveling around the region and courting support from other Asian countries that feel threatened by China's rise.
Now Hagel enters the scene after having dared to express support for Japan—and criticism of China—shortly before arriving in Beijing. That evidently was too much for some Chinese military officials. After meeting the Pentagon boss, Chinese Defense Minister Chang Wanquan made sure to emphasize China's determination to stick to a hard line in the dispute with its longtime rival. "We will not compromise, nor concede, nor trade on territory and sovereignty," he said, according to a report in the official China Daily newspaper.
Hagel may have been hoping for some sign of flexibility from the Chinese in their dispute over a collection of deserted rocks in the East China Sea, but Chang said he shouldn't bother. "We will not tolerate these being infringed upon," the Chinese defense chief declared, "even the least bit."
And Chang wasn't the only official souring Hagel's welcome. Fan Changlong, one of the country's top military officials, reprimanded Hagel for criticizing China's unilateral declaration of an air defense identification zone in the East China Sea. "I can tell you, frankly," the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission told Hagel, "the Chinese people, including myself, are dissatisfied with such remarks."
The men running the People's Liberation Army have good reason to be in a testy mood. China has territorial disputes with many of its neighbors, some of which are treaty allies of the U.S., and as China attempts to throw its weight around its backyard, the U.S. is there to backstop these rivals.
And it's not just U.S. support for Japan that irks Chinese leaders. The Philippines, one of several Southeast Asian countries with territorial disputes with China, is another American ally. President Benigno Aquino's government took to the United Nations Permanent Court of Arbitration on March 30 to challenge Chinese claims in the South China Sea. The response from Beijing was to dismiss the court's authority to hear the case in the first place.
That plays into the hands of Japan's Abe, who wants other Asian countries to join Japan in standing up to China. The rejection of the Court of Arbitration's authority feeds the impression that a country that decides to annex the entire South China Sea and declare an air-defense zone in the East China Sea just wants to play by its own rules. "China's refusal to join the arbitration will cost it both from a legal standpoint and public-opinion view," Ramon Casiple, executive director of the Institute for Political & Electoral Reform in Manila, told Bloomberg News. "It will be viewed by the global community as a rogue state that doesn't recognize international law."
Compare China's treatment of the court with the way Japan has reacted to a legal setback of its own. The day after the Philippines made its argument to the Court of Arbitration, the International Court of Justice, another United Nations body that meets in the Hague, ruled that Japan must halt its annual whale hunt in the Southern Ocean. The Japanese government quickly announced it was calling off next year's hunt. Japan, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Koji Tsuruoka, will "abide by the judgment of the court as a state that places great importance on the international legal order."
The whale hunt was already an embarrassment for the Japanese, so Abe is probably relieved an outside court has given him a reason to call it off. At the same time, the court provided a welcome opportunity for Abe to show that Japan, unlike a certain neighbor, is an Asian power that's ready to follow international law.

TURNOVER at Jamie's Italian, the restaurant chain launched by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver six year ago, has surpassed the £100 million mark for the first time.
Reporting a "solid" performance in its full year results, for the year ending January 5, 2014, the business, which has a restaurant in Lendal, reported revenues of £101.8 million, 8.5 per cent higher than the previous year's turnover of £92.5 million.
However, pre-tax profits fell to £5.6 million from £7.7 million a year earlier, with EBITDA also falling by 9.6 per cent to £12 million.
The group said the "short-term" impact on profitability was down to the development and launch of its 'Gold Club' customer reward scheme and "heavy investment" across its international operations during the period.
Jamie's Italian was founded in Oxford in 2008 and now has 36 restaurants across Great Britain with a global workforce of more than 2,500 staff.

Seamus Coleman struck early on to give Roberto Martinez's side the advantage but it took the Belgian to swiftly restore their lead when Gaston Ramirez equalised in the second half
Seamus Coleman gave the hosts the lead with a marvellous individual effort but Gaston Ramirez equalised from fully 35 yards with a dipping effort that deceived stand-in goalkeeper Joel Robles.
However, Chelsea loanee Lukaku was on hand to finish a terrific sweeping move just three minutes later and keep Everton in the hunt for European places.
Were it not for Thursday's loss to Sunderland, Everton would have been celebrating an unbeaten year at home but they responded to that setback with a measured performance in front of their fans.
|By Gary Maiden
It was hard work for Everton but they have got back to winning ways after Boxing Day's disappointing defeat at home to Sunderland.
Gaston Ramirez looked to have snatched a point for Southampton after his superb 30-yard left-footed drive cancelled out Seamus Coleman's brilliant early opener, only for Romelu Lukaku to win it late on for the Toffees.
The win sees Everton climb back into the top four and Roberto Martinez can be very happy with his side's opening half of the campaign.
For Southampton, it is now just one win in seven but they played their part in a free-flowing game of attacking football and are likely to give their fans more memorable days as the season progresses.
Leighton Baines returned to Roberto Martinez's first XI after injury and Robles made his first Premier League start for Everton in place of the suspended Tim Howard, with Kelvin Davis returning to the Southampton goal ahead of Paulo Gazzaniga and being called into action by Ross Barkley from Coleman's cross in the third minute.
The hosts' bright start paid off six minutes later when right-back Coleman picked the ball up on his flank and burst into the area before smashing an unstoppable strike into the top corner. It was the Irishman's fifth goal of the season, already surpassing his tally for the previous four campaigns combined.
Southampton came into the game game on the back of a rousing 3-0 win over Cardiff City on Thursday but struggled to find any sort of fluency for much of the opening period, seeing Adam Lallana spurn a good chance after weaving through two defenders.
They were nearly made to pay just after the break, when a superb low cross from Bryan Oviedo found Barkley in the six-yard box but the 20-year old failed to find the target.
Southampton began to find their feet as the game wore on and had multiple chances in a matter of seconds after 65 minutes, Luke Shaw having a low drive blocked before Jay Rodriguez's effort was deflected wide.
Five minutes later they were on level terms in emphatic circumstances when substitute Ramirez sent a wicked swerving effort past Robles and into the roof of the net from distance.
The visitors could not hold on, though, and were behind once again just three minutes later, as substitute Steven Pienaar and James McCarthy combined to give Lukaku a chance, which he finished with aplomb.
Everton pushed for a third in the closing stages, Lukaku firing over and forcing a great save from Kelvin Davis, but a one-goal margin proved enough for victory.

AFL commissioner: Power on solid ground
Commissioner Jerry Kurz admits indoor football is not relevant in every Arena Football League market, but he said Pittsburgh has no such problem.
"I believe we are relevant in Pittsburgh," Kurz said Saturday before the Power's final home game of the season at Consol Energy Center. "I've been here a number of times. I've talked to a lot of people when I come to towns. They are on TV. They are marketed. They are there."
With two games remaining, the Power (3-13) will finish no better than their 5-13 record of a year ago. Nonetheless, attendance rose 13.5 percent to an average of 5,865 over nine home games.
A total of 10 games were televised — either on thisTV Pittsburgh or CBS Sports Network — and all 18 will be broadcast on TribLiveRadio. Co-owners Matt Shaner and Lynn Swann said publicly that they expect the franchise to return next year for its fourth season.
"As far as I know, (every team) is coming back," Kurz said.
League membership has fallen from 18 teams in 2011 to 17 to 14 this year, but the commissioner said expansion next year is "more probable than not."
Nonetheless, he said the AFL must deal with what he calls "issues and challenges."
"I don't know any business anywhere that doesn't (have issues), including our government," Kurz said.
Chief among those issues are a lack of sufficient visibility in some cities, he said.
"In some markets, we're only going to get more fans if more people know we're there," he said, suggesting that some franchises need to step up marketing efforts. "In some of our markets, we are almost non-existent."
Kurz didn't name the league's troubled franchises, but average attendance in Chicago and New Orleans was only 4,378 and 4,086, respectively, through last Saturday. The Chicago Rush have been forced to find alternate venues for home games after former owner David Staral Jr. defaulted on a $50,000 payment to the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Ill.
But Kurz said he expects to have a franchise next year in Chicago, the AFL's base of operations.
Overall, he said he is pleased with the league's direction, with the arenas filled to 75 percent of capacity and Arena Bowl XVI set to be telecast on CBS on Aug. 17 from Orlando, Fla.
Also, the new collective bargaining agreement with the players' union allows for multi-year contracts that help improve franchise stability.
"Any time you can build up a fan base with players who are going to be there multiple years, football-wise, of course that helps," Kurz said. "But fans appreciate that, as well."

Less Space, Better Insulation
September 1, 2010
Small footprints, but better efficiency. Low thermal conductivity, but less insulation to allow for more storage capacity. Sound familiar?
In the past, these, and other laudable but disparate goals, would often force designers to make tradeoffs. Add insulation to a refrigerator/freezer, for example, and improve efficiency, but lose storage capacity. Or, use less insulation to save space, but negatively effect efficiency and thermal conductivity.
In that scenario, compressors, heat exchangers and other components would either have to work harder and cycle on and off more often, or the designer would have to specify larger and more powerful components.
Layered on top of that is the mission to design products with no harmful effects to the environment, meaning that it has little in the way of ozone depletion potential (ODP) or global warming potential. In addition, any upgrades should be accomplished with as little cost expenditure to the product or the production facilities as possible.
Of course, much of this activity stems from the industry's forced conversion to more environmentally friendly blowing agents and refrigerants. First, via the Montreal Protocol, the industry migrated away from chlorofluorocarbons that worked well, but were banned because of ozone depletion. Many manufacturers then shifted to hydroclorofluorocarbons (HCFC) particularly HCFC 141b as a stop-gap material. That too worked well, but also had ozone issues and contributed to global warming.
Today, the debate continues between hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) that are primarily used in the United States, and hydrocarbons (HCs) such as pentane that are used in Europe and other regions.
This might be changing, however, as companies such as GE Consumer and Industrial and Coca-Cola look to hydrocarbon-based materials. Whether this is a long-term migration is debatable.
The arguments between the two are ongoing:
What is known is that polyurethane rigid foam materials are often used in refrigeration and cooling technologies because they are effective. BASF's polyurethanes division, Wyandotte, Mich., conducted a cold-chain analysis, following a frozen pizza from warehouse to truck to refrigerator, and found that if all of the facilities and equipment were insulated at an optimized thickness with polyurethane rigid foam, there would be an energy savings factor of 20:1, says Werner Wiegmann, BASF's head of development for polyurethane insulation.
The energy saved would be 16 times greater than the amount needed to produce the insulation material itself. During the study, material thickness was also tested, which found big savings with small changes. For instance, a freezer with 50-mm thick insulation emits 23 kg of CO2 in seven days, whereas a model with 60-mm thick insulation emits only 15.5 kg over the same period.
So, while all of these environmental, economic and regulatory goals might seem incongruent, new insulation materials and production techniques are helping to make these goals a reality. As suppliers launch new and innovative products, their customers are finding new ways to use them.
In fact, in recent months, numerous manufacturers-primarily in the commercial and residential refrigeration industries-have developed cooling technologies that meet efficiency standards, customer specifications, environmental mandates and other desired wants and needs such as increased thermal conductivity, reduced footprints and enlarged, overall storage capacity.
According to several refrigerator manufacturers and OEMs, the push for better energy efficiency comes from their customers who are demanding a greener product.
Even more exciting than simply producing efficient equipment, is the fact that many of these manufacturers are using varied methods to achieve these goals. The efforts are not simply a swap out of one type of insulation for another. Some manufacturers are committed to hydrocarbon-based insulation or blowing agents. Some have chosen vegetable-based expansion agents. Others have chosen vacuum-insulated panels, and still others have concentrated on materials with high flow rates to create a better-insulated product.
Manufacturers' InnovationsJeremy Hall, managing director of U.K.-based Precision Refrigeration, says that his customers were concerned about the impact that their catering equipment had on the environment. Listening to the company's customers was an impetus to convert its extensive line of commercial-catering, food-equipment products to an insulation material that is made, in large part, from vegetable oils such as rapeseed oil.
The insulation is called Envirofoam R2007 from IFS Chemicals Group, also based in the U.K. Its polyol component contains about 70% vegetable oil and it has a GWP of less than 1. The blowing agent falls within the "less than 5" GWP category. The non-flammable insulation exhibits a Lambda value of 0.020 wMk.
The insulation helps Precision Refrigeration manufacture the product with no extra cost and without the need for substantial plant upgrades, says Hall. Testing determined that thermal conductivity values were 20% lower than other insulation foams that were in use.
Another commercial refrigeration manufacturer has converted to a new insulation material, from an HCFC-based material. Delfield, a Manitowoc company based in Mt. Pleasant, Mich., has converted its entire line of cooling technologies to what it calls, "a more environmentally safe insulation material." The company switched to Ecomate, a polyurethane foam developed by Foam Supplies of Earth City, Mo., that uses methyl formate blowing agents.
John Murphy, new product development manager at Foam Supplies, says that Ecomate is a non-ODP, non-GWP material that is also exempted from U.S. VOC regulations. The foam can be blended with a polyol or isocyanates, and handled in the same fashion as HCFC-141b, as they have almost identical properties, including boiling point, solubility and flammability.
One of the biggest appliance manufacturers in the world, GE Consumer and Industrial, Louisville, Ky., has gone the hydrocarbon (HC) route for its Monogram refrigerator. The company, which has filed a Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) petition with the Environmental Protection Agency, chose cyclopentane for the insulation foam-blowing agent to replace commonly used HFC foam blowing agents. The decision was made, in part, because of GE's global presence and the need to produce one technology for all markets.
Another large, international manufacturer that offers a low-ODP, low-GWP product is Sanyo, a part of the Panasonic group. The company offers a refrigerator cabinet that features the Sanyo V.I.P., a vacuum-insulated panel design that optimizes interior volume in the smallest footprint possible. (Panasonic offers the U-Vacua, vacuum-insulated panel for sale to OEMs, which is discussed later in this article.)
The Sanyo V.I.P. features a composite, thin-wall cellular construction that combines the vacuum panel insulation with polyurethane foam for structural stability and high-insulation values. It has a reflective barrier film for puncture protection, which also helps inhibit moisture accumulation that can lead to icing.
Samsung's now two-year-old French door refrigerator, has one of the industry's largest interior capacities, at 29 cubic feet, despite keeping an industry standard size. High-rate urethane insulation technology allowed the company to reduce the refrigerator walls from 2.04 in. to 1.38 in., resulting in an extra 3.5 cubic feet. The high-rate technology implies that it delivers the insulation material in a pour-in-place process at a sufficient flow rate to produce a fine cellular structure.
Cell StructureThere is an adage about cellular structure that still holds true: "the finer the cell, the better the insulation."
The thermal conductivity of foam is affected by a number of factors including the blowing agent and the polyurethane matrix within the foam. Blowing agents are key tools to creating the fine cellular structure of the foam as they, in effect, carve out cells within the foam and become trapped within the cell. Blowing agents are also one of the materials most affected by environmental regulation changes.
For this reason, a number of suppliers are launching or developing new blowing agent materials. According to Ken Gayer, business director for Honeywell foam insulation blowing agents, these materials should feature a low-vapor thermal conductivity, be nonflammable, and remain liquid at room temperature-in other words, have a boiling point greater than 25 Deg. C.
A lower boiling point tends to keep the chemical in a vaporous state in the cell so that there is less degradation. They should feature low toxicity, zero ODP, low GWP, and chemical and thermal stability. They should be soluble in formulation, and have a low rate of diffusion. These too are important because the material must dissolve into the mixture, staying trapped in the cell when formed and cured.
Honeywell's Enovate blowing agent is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC-245fa, 1,1,1,3,3,) that was developed as a blowing agent for rigid insulating foams, says Gayer. It is a replacement for HCFC-141b and other fluorocarbon and non-fluorocarbon blowing agents. Enovate is a non-flammable liquid with a boiling point slightly below room temperature. It has a zero ODP, a low GWP, and is not considered a VOC in the United States. In several studies, Enovate was compared to a pentane-based material and was found to have a 10 to 15% lower thermal conductivity, according to Gayer.
Bayer MaterialScience, a German-based company with U.S. headquarters in Pittsburgh, is a supplier of materials for insulating refrigeration appliances. The company offers Baytherm rigid polyurethane foam systems, Mondur isocyanates, and Multrano and Arcol polyols.
The company also conducts extensive research on insulation materials to determine ways to make foams more economical by using less material. In a 2009 study, company researchers tested HFC 245fa and found that by increasing water levels to generate more CO2, as much as 68% less hydroflourocarbon was required. In this test, the average K-factor increased by only 11%.
Another strategy for reducing foam cost is supplementing reduced levels of HFC-245fa with HFC-134a. The need for insulation materials with improved energy efficiency and environmental profiles has led Arkema of Cary, N.C., to investigate a range of low-GWP blowing agents designed for most PUR applications. These fourth-generation blowing agents, the AFA series, are being developed in both liquid and gas formulations to replace HFCs such as 245fa and 134a. AFA-G1, and to a lesser extent AFA-G2. They have shown to potentially compete with HFC-134a in terms of solubility in polyol, dimensional stability and K-factor, although AFA-G1 doesn't seem to perform as well at very cold temperatures. Additional versions such as the AFA-L1 displayed a similar blowing efficiency and dimensional stability and held a K-factor compared to hydrocarbons, according to Arkema.
DuPont Fluorocarbons has developed FEA-1100, a fourth-generation, foam expansion agent for polyurethane foams. It features zero ODP, and low GWP. Recent estimates indicate that FEA-1100 has a short atmospheric lifetime of approximately 16 days. FEA-1100 has low-vapor thermal conductivity and is a stable liquid at room temperature with a less than 25 Deg. C boiling point. This eliminates the handling and processing issues associated with the use of lower boiling materials such as HFC-245fa, allowing optimal FEA level in formulations to provide desired foam properties, according to DuPont.
Michigan-based Dow Chemical Co. has developed new foam systems using various blowing agents with a focus on hydrocarbons. Voratec SD 302 and the Voratec SD 308 are balanced for better flow rates, voids, demold and thermal conductivity. However, in order to address the need of the appliance industry to improve energy efficiency, further optimization of the insulation performance of these systems is required.
To enable the improvement of the Lambda values of the foam without compromising on other foam process properties such as demold or flow, Dow developed a base polyol for rigid-appliance foam systems called Polyol X. An improved Lambda value of between 2.5 and 3% was achieved, and no deterioration in other properties was observed.
Vacuum-Installed PanelsAside from new and improved blowing agents, there are other technologies in play such as vacuum-insulated panels. These panels, such as those used by Sanyo, attain a phenomenal R-value per inch, often exceeding 20 and more. The core material of vacuum insulation is micro-porous fumed silica, which is poured into a plastic membrane and formed into a board shape. The panel travels through a vacuum chamber where gas is evacuated and a sheet of metalized plastic barrier film is formed around the membrane and heat-sealed around the edges.
Vacuum-insulated panels, or VIPs, have very high-efficiency numbers, but they are susceptible to punctures. Suppliers are answering this problem with more durable, protective films.
Panasonic's vacuum insulation panel is called U-Vacua. It performs about 20 times better than hard urethane foam, and 38 times better than glass wool, which enables high-insulation performance in a thin form. It achieved a thermal conductivity of 0.012 wMk at 24 Deg. C, with an applicable temperature range from -40 Deg. C to 105 Deg. C. In refrigerated applications, VIP is most commonly used in conjunction with standard foaming agents to assure the optimum combination for insulation value and maintaining cabinet rigidity. The panels are normally located between the inner liner and cabinet shell. The ultra-slim design enables manufacturers to increase the internal volume of the cabinet, while maximizing energy efficiency, says Jennifer Archibald, product manager - new business, Panasonic Industrial, Secaucus, N.J.
A newer twist on VIPs comes from Germany-based Va-Q-Tec. The core of the panel is made of inorganic oxides that are up to 80% fumed silica, IR opacifiers and a small amount of organic fibers. One of the company's newest products is the Va-Q-Plus, which is produced with a new production technique that makes it possible to develop variant shapes and complex panels, such as cylinders and panels with holes, says Roland Caps, Ph.D., a physicist, and managing director of the company. It has a low-thermal conductivity of 0.0035 W/(mK).
Finally, Microtherm of Alcoa, Tenn., offers the Slimvac vacuum microporous insulation panels for refrigerators and freezers. The Microtherm panels feature a touch outer envelope, which the company says is impermeable. The outer envelope comprises multiple polymer layers, each chosen for their specific contribution toward maintaining a long working life without performance deterioration. The panels have a center panel thermal conductivity of 4.2, which is roughly five times lower than blown PU foam.
These panels, the improved blowing agents and other insulating materials discussed in this article are just some of the products that are on the market or planned for the near future. Numerous products are in the works, and each one of them might be the answer to a manufacturer's need to improve efficiency and protect the environment.

In practice, this calculator may only be good to win bets: "I bet you that my calc here with 9 buttons can do everything yours can do."
The full power of ND1 within 9 keys, where two are button "sliders" that have their function change (interactively) as you slide your finger over the button. So, you select from the four given operators by placing your finger where you know it is on the button, or sliding there. Similarly, you select numbers 0 thru 9 by sliding over the number slide button. The dot key provides, of course, any of the functions ND1 has--on the generous 4 soft keys.
Hence the ability to outdo most calculators. Moebius function, anyone? Plotting the butterfly? Solving a hard Project Euler problem involving 4 million prime number? Let them try.
Kinda fun. Maybe.
How it works:
[4] An empty button of size 1/4 of full width.
Function is @soft, the usual soft-key designation, as in ND1.
[4] ., edit is a button for showing menus and doing the edit function upon long-press (2nd function).
[2] @by_function is a button, taking up 1/2 of the available width, whose text varies by function.
Its function is to @calc, which is the code name for the enter key.
So the text this button will show is either = or up-arrow or ENTER, depending on RPN vs. ALG, Modern vs. Classic setting. Defaults to = here, as the calc is elsewhere on the definition page set to non-RPN.
[4] <-, drop
A combined backspace, drop button. 1/4 space allotment.
slide (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0) is a button that displays whatever is in parentheses, depending on where the user has his finger.
Its function is to push the selected content onto the stack. (In this case the numbers 0-9.)
slide (/, -, +, *) works the same way. Note that what the button displays can be distinct from what it pushes. (The division sign is differently represented.)
If you populate the menus with all 500 functions, this calc can do anything ND1 can, via the 4 soft-keys.

A DENIAL from Danny Nikolic that he was involved in the murder of his former father-in-law was one of many dramatic moments in today's on-going disciplinary hearing involving the jockey.
The Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board inquiry was adjourned until 2pm tomorrow, when Nikolic will learn his fate over two serious misconduct charges stemming from incidents at a Seymour race meeting on September 4.
Chief steward Terry Bailey had earlier maintained the accusation that Nikolic had threatened him and his family, and Nikolic today maintained his denial; and that Bailey had lied in denying he told Nikolic "I told you I was going to f... your career."
There were two dramatic developments today.
The first was Nikolic's denial of involvement in the murder of Les Samba in February 2011.
It came after Phillip Priest QC, acting for the stewards, said Nikolic's alleged "keep your eyes on the road, Terry" taunt would have been regarded as sinister by Bailey in the context of the Samba murder.
"I had nothing to do with Les Samba getting murdered," an angry Nikolic fired at Priest.
Asked about threatening comments allegedly made to Bailey and his family, Nikolic said: "That's completely ludicrous - talk about grandstanding.
"You are trying to paint me in the worst possible light."
Nikolic said he had spoken to the Purana taskforce about the Samba murder.
"I've been asked to give evidence about the particulars of who his (Samba's) connections were," he said.
Mr Priest then told the hearing he was not making any allegation that Nikolic was involved in the Samba death, but was raising it because the notoriety would be in Bailey's mind when Nikolic allegedly raised a reference to Bailey's family and had earlier said "keep your eyes on the road, Terry".
While Nikolic denies making the "families" remark to Bailey, he has admitted referring to the comical AAMI "keep your eyes on the road reference" but said it was in good humour.
Later, Nikolic read a letter to the inquiry that he sent to integrity commissioner Sal Perna in October 2010, complaining about Bailey.
In the letter Nikolic accused Bailey of acting vindictively towards him, particularly through the lengthy Betfair inquiry in 2010, after which Nikolic was cleared.
The inquiry is likely to be concluded today.
Originally published as I didn't kill Les, says Nikolic

|Mitrocoma cellularia (A. Agassiz, 1865) : Cross Jelly
Phylum Cnidaria / Class Hydrozoa / Order Leptomedusae / Family Mitrocomidae
The cross jelly is among the more common hydromedusae to appear in the waters of Monterey Bay and other West Coast locations. Typical of members of this group, the bell is transparent, thus making it difficult to see without careful observation. The margin of the bell (diameter up to 90 mm) is lined with several hundred fine, white tentacles. The most conspicuous part of this jelly are the 4 radial canals to which are attached the white gonads. They form the relatively conspicuous "cross" that gives the common name to this species. The small stomach has 4 frilly lips. A strong bioluminescence is produced around the bell margin. Fall and winter months are the best times to find Mitrocoma in Monterey Bay. At times they may form large aggregations that are easily visible from the surface. The third photo shows a swarm that has invaded near-surface waters of a kelp forest at Point Lobos in central California. Cross jellies are found in nearshore waters from Alaska to central California.
Recent research has shown that cross jellies can actually detect chemicals in the water – they respond with changes in swimming behavior and extensions of tentacles when presented with traces of blended food. This may be implicated in their tendency to form large aggregations since they may be able to detect concentrations of prey. Other species presumably have similar chemical sensing abilities.
