Registration is now open for the fourth Huskie Summer Circuit, which gives fans an opportunity to meet NIU head coaches and athletics administrators at four locations throughout northern Illinois.
The Huskie Summer Circuit will make four stops this year, beginning at Two Brothers Roundhouse in Aurora on Monday, June 5. The next night (Tuesday, June 6), the Huskies return to Franchesco's in Rockford, the longest-running location on the Summer Circuit. The event continues the next two nights at new locations. On Wednesday, June 7, the tour stops at Carlucci Restaurant & Bar in Downers Grove in the western suburbs before heading north to Crystal Lake for the final stop at Crystal Lake Rib House on Thursday, June 8 (see below for addresses).
Register in advance to attend any of the four Huskie Summer Circuit events for just $10 or pay $20 at the door. Sign up at the link above, download and mail the PDF form on this page or call 815-753-0800 to register. Advance registration ends May 29, so reserve your spot today to attend a Summer Circuit stop. Current NIU students and 2016-2017 NIU graduates pay just $5 in advance AND at the door with an NIU OneCard. All current members (2016-2017 or 2017-2018) of the Kish Kids Pup Club are admitted free with advance registration.
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. each night so fans can enjoy appetizers, a cash bar and raffle prizes, such as tickets to NIU sporting events and Huskie apparel. Hear from NIU Associate Vice President and Director of Athletics Sean T. Frazier and the head coaches from each of the Huskies' 17 sports programs, including football's Rod Carey, Mark Montgomery of men's basketball, women's basketball coach Lisa Carlsen and volleyball coach Ray Gooden.

Despair, helplessness and anger are a few of the feelings that only begin to express becoming the victim of a crime. Today, criminals have expanded their schemes in crimes. They are shifting from confrontational encounters and becoming silent predators, silently stealing identities.
According to the Federal Trade Commission, identity theft "occurs when someone uses your personally identifying information, like your name, Social Security number or credit card number, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes."
Identity theft has been one of the fastest-growing crimes in the past decade. According to studies by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, nearly 8.6 million households in the United States had at least one individual become victim to identity theft. In a 2013 study by Javeline Strategy & Research, it was estimated that last year a total of $21 billion was stolen as a result of identity theft. The Committee on Ways and Means reported that the economic impact on the victim to resolve identity theft was between $500 to $1,200 and 30 to 60 hours to resolve issues.
There are many ways in which individuals can become prey for identity thieves. Predators use emails, text messages, phone calls and fake websites to lure people into providing sensitive information. Here is a list of a few things that criminals do to steal information:
Dumpster dive
Sort through co-workers' desks
Shoulder surfing
Steal mail
Write false job applications
Make pretext, ruse or gag calls
Falstify rental and loan applications
Search public records
Surf the Internet
According to a recent report, Utah is especially unique since the state is ranked high in Internet access and availability.
Criminals are becoming more and more creative in obtaining stolen information. For example, earlier this month my in-laws received a phone call from a scammer. The individual who called stated that he had just infected their computer and that if they wanted to stop it from destroying everything, they needed to visit a website. While this was obviously a scam to them, many people fall for schemes like this.
Increased diligence and awareness are the greatest ways to prevent victimization. The State of Utah has developed a great tool to educate residents called Identity Theft Reporting Information System, or IRIS. IRIS provides detailed instructions on how to prevent and report identity theft and works diligently to educate Utahans about it.
But you don't have to go through a system to protect yourself from identity theft. Here are a number of free and easy ways to prevent these crimes:
Request a receipt when making purchases. If you do not get a receipt, this can open you up to victimization.
Inspect your bank statement. That's right, look at that piece of paper the bank sends each month. Check to see if there are any charges that you did not authorize. Somebody may have taken your money without you noticing by going into your bank with a fake ID and making withdrawals or skimming your credit card at a gas station.
Run a free credit check each year with Equifax, Experian and Transunion to see if there is anything out of the ordinary. The FCC recommends visiting www.annualcreditreport.com, calling 1-877-322-8228 or mailing Annual Credit Report Request Service at P.O. Box 105281 Atlanta, Ga., 30348-5281.
Shred all financial documents before discarding them.
Protect your Social Security number on applications or online websites.
Never give out information over the phone unless you know exactly who you are talking to.
Securely store sensitive information.
Don't simply toss mail as "ads" or "junk." Identity thieves often apply for credit cards, and these credit card companies send documents to you. Verify what you are tossing away to ensure that it is not important.
Monitor your credit applications. If you apply for credit and you are denied for no reason, this too could be a red flag.
Mail your bills at a post office instead of through your home mailbox.
Safeguard documents like passports, IDs, birth certificates and Social Security cards.
Change your bank card PIN (and do not write your PIN where you keep your card).1 comment on this story
If you become a victim of identity theft, there are things that you can do to resolve the issue. Here are a few tools that will help you get on track:
Place a 90-day fraud alert with the credit reporting agencies.
Opt-out of prescreen offers for fiveyears electronically (www.optoutprescreen.com) or indefinitely, by mail.
Close any bank accounts that have been compromised (if any).
File a local police report.
Contact the Federal Trade Commission and fill out an affidavit of identity theft (see below).
While victimization may happen to you or a close associate, be proactive and diligent in protecting your identity. There are ways to reduce the financial risk and hardship that comes with resolving identity theft. Educate yourself by learning more from the resources and tools provided.

It's no wonder why granola is so popular. It's the perfect, healthy, fast food for breakfast, lunch, or an energy-packed snack. For some reason I didn't get the memo until recently, but am so glad I did because it immediately became a staple in our kitchen. For that I can thank Kare, from Kitchen Treaty, who posted an amazing tutorial for homemade granola. It's basically my equivalent of those yellow tutorial books - you know, like "Granola For Dummies" 😉 She broke it down so simply and gave me the spark of confidence I needed to venture into granola-land. I love that it's so EASY to make! My mind immediately took off running with potential combinations. I wanted to do a "super seed combo" with hemp, flax, sunflower, and chia - packed with protein, omega-3's, fiber, and nutrients to help keep us powered throughout the day. It's a family favorite from toddler to husband, and awesome time-saver when we need a quick meal. Be sure to visit Kare to check out the full tutorial in all it's glory! --> How To Make Granola
Vegan, gluten-free (with gf oats)
Adapted from Kitchen Treaty
Makes about 5 cups granola (can easily double - it keeps for a month!)
2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup hemp seeds
1/8 cup chia seeds
1/8 cup flax seeds (ground or whole)
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup coconut oil (or vegetable oil, etc.)
1 1/2 Tbsp. vegan butter (or more oil)
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup dried cherries
Preheat oven to 325.
In a small saucepan over low heat, add maple syrup, oil, and butter. Heat until butter is melted, stirring occasionally. Add vanilla.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add oats, walnuts, hemp, chia, sunflower, and flax. (Note: dried fruit is added after baking!)
Add liquid from pan to the oat mixture and toss until thoroughly combined. Salt to taste if desired.
On a large rimmed baking sheet, place parchment paper. Spread granola evenly on the pan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, stirring about every 10 minutes, until granola is golden brown.
After granola cools, add dried cherries.
Stores in a sealed container at room temp for about a month.

Pirates-Braves Preview
Having struggled against left-handed pitching for much of the season, the Atlanta Braves will be facing a particularly tough assignment as they look to sweep the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Braves will try for their fifth straight victory Wednesday when the Pirates send red-hot southpaw Wandy Rodriguez to the mound at Turner Field.
Andrelton Simmons extended the winning streak Tuesday with a game-ending double in the 10th inning as Atlanta came from behind in a 5-4 victory over slumping Pittsburgh (35-24).
"I made good contact," said Simmons, who is batting .356 during a 10-game hitting streak. "I made the adjustment to go the other way and fortunately I did it.''
Trailing by two runs in the sixth, the NL East-leading Braves (36-22) tied it on B.J. Upton's homer - his second in three games - off right-hander Ryan Reid after lefty starter Jeff Locke had departed.
"You're looking at what you feel is your best matchup at the time and it didn't work out,'' said Pirates manager Clint Hurdle.
The Braves managed six hits in 5 2-3 innings off Locke, leaving them with a .177 batting average versus left-handers since May 28.
Atlanta hopes to reverse that trend as it looks for its sixth win on an eight-game homestand that concludes Wednesday against a Pittsburgh team that has lost four of five.
It doesn't figure to be an easy task with Rodriguez (6-3, 3.47 ERA) taking the ball in this finale.
Rodriguez was very good again versus Cincinnati on Friday, but had his four-start win streak snapped with a 6-0 loss. He limited the Reds to two runs over seven innings and is 4-1 with a 2.90 ERA in his past five outings.
The left-hander has been outstanding against the Braves, going 3-2 with a 1.58 ERA in his last nine starts. He yielded one hit over seven innings in a 6-0 home win April 19.
Although he's batting .163 versus lefties this season, Jason Heyward had the only hit off Rodriguez in that contest and is 5 for 11 lifetime in this matchup. Heyward also has four hits in his last two games after going hitless in 18 at-bats over his previous six contests.
Teammates Dan Uggla (4 for 25) and Justin Upton (2 for 13), however, have had far less success against Rodriguez.
Atlanta counters with right-hander Julio Teheran (3-2, 3.71), who is 3-2 with a 2.49 ERA in his last seven starts.
He had a career-high nine strikeouts and gave up three runs over 6 2-3 innings in a 3-2 loss to Washington on Friday.
Teheran, though, wasn't sharp in his only career start against the Pirates. He was reached for four runs and seven hits - two homers - over five innings before leaving without a decision in a 6-4 road win April 18.
Pedro Alvarez and Russell Martin took Teheran deep in the Pirates' only loss in that four-game series.
Alvarez is 7 for 19 with two homers and four RBIs in his last five games at Turner Field after homering for the second time in three games Tuesday.
Andrew McCutchen is 5 for 12 with three doubles and three RBIs in his last three against the Braves.

Ahh... just remembered. You can't do a repair install from safe mode or at boot. You can only do it from within Windows. I'm sorry I forgot that.

Well, I've got sp1 from an update. So I can't use my disk until it's removed. Can't remove it because wusa.exe is gone. If I'm going to do a total clean install over my last clean install, do I just use the tutorial?? Other ideas?
Thanks again, Wally
|My System Specs

Wally, I know it's a hassle and a half, but considering all the issues plaguing your computer, I think a clean install is the best way to go. Even if you could somehow get into Windows and do a Repair Install, there's no guarantee that something won't be left behind that could corrupt things again.
Clean Install Windows 7
Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version
A couple of other suggestions ... and I offer them as someone who's been there, done that, and got the T-shirt. After you get your 7 reinstalled and it's time to get the Windows Updates, I'd install SP1 first. That will incorporate a bunch of pre-SP1 patches, hotfixes, etc. I'd get SP1 from the Microsoft Download Center and not rely on Windows Updates.
After SP1 installs use Windows Updates for the remaining 2,561 patches, hotfixes, etc. (It will seem like that many if you follow my suggestion.) Install just a few at a time - maybe 5 or so. After each group is installed, play around with the computer for a bit to make sure there are no problems. Then install the next 5. If you do discover a problem you've narrowed it down to one of 5 updates.
After you have everything set up again, I would strongly urge you to make a system image on an external hard drive. Yeah, it's gonna cost some $$$ but once you have a system image, if you ever experience a major computer meltdown again, you can be up and running in 30 minutes or less. Update the image every week or so (or when you make a major system change create two images - a before and after) and you'll never have to go through this hassle again.
I'm really sorry I couldn't be more help.
|My System Specs
|16 Aug 2011
Really, you have been a big help. Yes, I dodged the image thing for a long time, and I'll do as you say. The tutorial exception then is to not let it look for or do updates until I get sp1 installed first. I like the 5 at a time, and manual control idea as well.
I'll let you know how it goes!
|My System Specs
|17 Aug 2011
Did another install, and it all went OK. Thanks again, M. Now onto getting that image finally.
|My System Specs
|17 Aug 2011
If you haven't imaged before you have a couple of options. I've used the built in Windows 7 imaging tool with great success. Made many images and have restored my computer from those images. All went without a hitch. But it's a very basic tool and doesn't have a lot of flexibility compared to say, Macrium free or Paragon free.
My suggestion, FWIW is to try the 7 imaging tool and see how you like it. It's pretty straight forward and it will image the entire hard drive including the reserve partition, main C: drive, and any other partitions you might have. And it will return your machine to that exact condition with no problems. You can make your primary (go to) image using 7 and then play around with the others so if something gets messed up you know you can get everything back in about 30 minutes or less. But don't forget to make the companion System Repair Disc just in case. If you have any questions or run into problems you can always PM me and I'll do my best to help.

In the study, two fake résumés were sent to employers, and the applicant with a history of LGBT activism got fewer responses despite listing more qualifications.
Meanwhile, ExxonMobil's refusal to enact nondiscrimination protections demonstrates the need for a presidential order banning anti-LGBT discrimination by federal contractors, say the authors of a new report on workplace bias.
To comply with federal law, the oil giant announced that it would begin offering benefits to the spouses of its gay and lesbian employees October 1.
In 2012, and again in 2013, HRC gave Exxon Mobil a negative 25 out of 100 possible points on its annual Corporate Equality Index. Here's why.
Shareholders of the oil giant voted against adding nondiscrimination protections for LGBT employees by a margin of 81% to 19%.
ExxonMobil is a notoriously poor place for LGBT people to work if they want equal benefits. Bring your business to a more equality-minded company, as ranked by HRC's Corporate Equality Index.
Some 80% of shareholders voted against adding sexual orientation and gender identity to the company's anti-discrimination policy.

Linear thermoplastic polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate are produced on a large scale in industry. Either dicarboxylic acids are esterified directly with diols, or dicarboxylic esters, such as dimethyl terephthalate, are transesterified with diols, and the resulting esterification product is polycondensed in the melt with elimination of diols. However, the polycondensation is not without its problems since, at the condensation temperatures required, parallel decomposition reactions take place which are deleterious to the quality of the polyester product.
DE-A-1,926,767 discloses a process for producing polyesters wherein the transesterification product is passed downward through a flattened pipe to form a film on the inner surface of the pipe and a temperature of 240° to 320° C. and a pressure of 0.1 to 600 mmHg are maintained, vaporous products and precondensate are then separated, and the precondensate is removed from the separator. This process has the disadvantage that the flattened regions are very easily blocked and, what is more, the formation of the thin film is not controllable, resulting in variable quality. This route has therefore been abandoned in industry in favor of another technique. As is known from DE-A-2,514,116, in the production of polybutylene terephthalate the transesterification mixture is passed upward through a tube bundle with a delay vessel at the top to form a vapor phase. However, the condensate thus obtained has the disadvantage that it is neither granulable nor usable as it is for a solid phase condensation.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a continuous process for producing linear thermoplastic polyesters which gives in a short time a granulable polyester condensate of consistent quality which is easily further condensable in the solid phase to give high molecular weight products.
We have found that this object is achieved by a process for the continuous production of a linear thermoplastic polyester, comprising the following steps:
(a) passing a transesterification or esterification product of an aliphatic or aromatic dicarboxylic acid having a molecular weight of <300 or an esterforming derivative thereof with an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic diol having a molecular weight of <250 which may additionally contain a poly(alkylene oxide) glycol having a molecular weight of 400 to 4000 at from 250° C. to 360° C. under a pressure of 0.5 to 20 mmHg downward in the course of a residence time of from 3 to 10 minutes through an essentially upright tubular precondensation zone equipped with internal fitments having a free surface area of from 0.3 to 1.5 m2 /1 to form a precondensate and a vaporous diol having a molecular weight <250,
(b) separating the precondensate and the vaporous diol and
(c) further condensing the precondensate in the bottom phase at from 240° to 290° C. under a pressure of from 0.5 to 20 mmHg in the course of a residence time from 10 to 40 minutes and discharging granulable polyester.
The novel process has the advantage that it produces the polyester in a short time without damaging it and without blockages in the precondensation zone. The novel process has the further advantage that the polyester produced is immediately granulable and suitable for a solid phase condensation to a high molecular weight polyester.
According to the invention, the starting materials are transesterification or esterification products of aliphatic and/or aromatic dicarboxylic acids having a molecular weight <300 or ester-forming derivatives thereof with aliphatic and/or cycloaliphatic diols having a molecular weight of <250 which may additionally contain poly(alkylene oxide) glycols having a molecular weight of from 400 to 4000.
Suitable aliphatic dicarboxylic acids are for example alkanedicarboxylic acids of 4 to 12 carbon atoms, in particular straight-chain α,β-dicarboxylic acids of the number of carbon atoms mentioned, such as adipic acid, glutaric acid, azelaic acid or dodecanedioic acid.
Preferred aromatic dicarboxylic acids have from 8 to 14 carbon atoms with the carboxyl groups bonded to an isolated or fused benzene ring. If more than one aromatic ring is present, they are linked together by a chemical bond or a divalent radical such as --O--, --SO2 --or --CO--. Suitable aromatic dicarboxylic acids are for example terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, phthalic acid, naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 4,4'-dicarboxybiphenyl, bis(p-carboxyphenyl) ether, bis(p-carboxyphenyl) sulfone, bis(p-carboxyphenyl) ketone and mixtures thereof. Particular preference is given to benzene dicarboxylic acids, in particular terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid.
Instead of the dicarboxylic acids mentioned it is in each case also possible to use their ester-forming derivatives such as esters with lower alkanols, for example methyl esters.
Preferred aliphatic diols are alkanediols of from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, in particular straight-chain alkanediols of the number of carbon atoms mentioned. Particular importance has been attained by alkanediols of 2 to 4 carbon atoms. It is possible to use, for example, ethanediol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol and 1,6-hexanediol. Other suitable diols are cycloaliphatic diols of from 8 to 10 carbon atoms, for example 1,4-cyclohexanediol or dimethylolcyclohexane and even mixtures of the diols mentioned.
Preferred poly(alkylene oxide) glycols are poly(C2 -C4 -alkylene oxide) glycols having a molecular weight of 400 to 4000, in particular from 600 to 2000.
To prepare the esterification products, the aforementioned starting materials are heated together, for example to from 160° to 230° C., in the presence of catalysts, for example tetrabutyl orthotitanate, with continuous removal of water. However, preference is given to starting from transesterification products obtained by transesterifying dicarboxylic esters, for example methyl esters, with the aforementioned diols and any poly(alkylene oxide) glycols at from 160° to 230° C. with continuous removal of the alkanols in the presence of customary transesterification catalysts such as zinc, calcium or manganese compounds and also titanium compounds, such as titanic esters, for example tetrabutyl orthotitanate, or titanyl compounds in amounts of 0.02 to 0.3% by weight, based on dicarboxylic ester.
Both in an esterification and in a transesterification, each mole of dicarboxylic acid or ester is used together with from 1.1 to 1.8 moles, in particular from 1.2 to 1.7 moles, of a diol having a molecular weight of <250. If poly(alkylene oxide) glycols are used, they are added in the desired amount.
To produce preferred poly-C2 -C4 -alkylene terephthalates, starting materials are terephthalic acid or ester and C2 -C4 alkanols. Other preferred polymers are segmented polyesters composed of 15 or more mol %, preferably 50 to 70 mol %, of polyalkylene terephthalate units and not more than 85 mol %, preferably from 10 to 15 mol %, of long-chain terephthalate units with poly(C2 -C4 -alkylene oxide) glycols; up to 30 mol % of terephthalic acid may be replaced by isophthalic acid. In the preparation of the starting mixture, the low molecular weight dicarboxylic acid and diol components are combined with corresponding amounts of added poly(C2 -C4 -alkylene oxide) glycols.
According to the invention, the transesterification or esterification product is passed in stage a) downward through an essentially perpendicular tubular precondensation zone. The precondensation zone advantageously has a diameter of from 30 to 50 mm and a length:diameter ratio of from 133 to 80:1. The precondensation zone is maintained at from 250° to 360° C., in particular at from 260° to 320° C. Furthermore, a residence time of from 3 to 10 minutes, in particular of 4 to 7 minutes, is maintained in the precondensation zone. The precondensation is carried out under a pressure of from 0.5 to 20 mmHg, in particular of 0.5 to 10 mmHg. The specified pressure relates to the end part of the precondensation zone since the starting mixture is fed in at the top of the precondensation zone under a higher pressure, for example from 0.5 to 0.8 bar, and the pressure decreases to the aforementioned value in the course of the precondensation zone. In the course of the precondensation, diols having a molecular weight <250 evaporate to form a two-phase mixture of precondensate and vaporous diols.
To ensure thorough mixing of the two-phase mixture of precondensate and vaporous diols, the precondensation zone has been provided with internal fitments. The internal fitments have a free surface area of from 0.3 to 1.5 m2 per 1. Suitable internal fitments are for example packings, such as Raschig rings or Pall rings. It has proved to be particularly advantageous if in the top third of the precondensation zone the internal fitments have a free surface area of from 0.9 to 1.5 m2 per 1 and the remaining two thirds of the precondensation zone a free surface area of from 0.3 to 0.5 m2 per 1.
The precondensate emerging from the precondensation zone generally has a relative viscosity of from 1.06 to 1.18, in particular from 1.12 to 1.14.
The two-phase mixture of vapors and precondensate emerging from the precondensation is separated. In general, separation takes place automatically, owing to the physical differences, in a separator, the bottom part of which is advantageously constructed as a condensation zone. The evolved vapors consist essentially of diols having a molecular weight of <250 which were used to prepare the starting mixture. These vapors are advantageously condensed, purified by distillation and reused for the reaction.
The precondensate obtained is further condensed in a condensation stage (c) at from 240° to 290° C., in particular from 260° to 280° C., under a pressure of from 0.5 to 20 mmHg, preferably from 0.5 to 10 mmHg, in the course of a residence time of from 10 to 40 minutes, in particular from 25 to 35 minutes, to give a granulable polyester condensate. The polyester thus obtained has in general a relative viscosity of from 1.2 to 1.5. It will be readily understood that the condensation temperature used is above the melting point of the particular polyester to be produced.
To obtain high molecular weight polyesters, a preferred procedure comprises introducing the condensate thus obtained in the form of a liquid melt into a further condensation zone and condensing it there with continuous formation of new surfaces at from 270° to 290° C. under a pressure of for example from 0.5 to 2.0 mmHg until the desired viscosity is obtained. A suitable procedure is described for example in DE-A-2,514,116.
In another preferred procedure, the condensation to high molecular weight polyesters is carried out in the solid phase. The extruded and granulated polyester from stage (c) is condensed by means of hot inert gasses such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide at from 5° to 40° C. below the melting point of the particular polyester to be condensed until the desired viscosity is obtained.
Customary additions, such as delusterants, for example titanium oxide, or stabilizers and additions of fibrous or particulate fillers, flameproofing agents or impact modifiers, are preferably mixed, for example in an extruder, into the polyester discharged from stage (c), and the resulting granules are then subjected to solid phase condensation.
The polyesters produced by the process of the invention are suitable for manufacturing filaments, fibers, films and moldings.
The process according to the invention is illustrated by the following Examples:
In a reaction vessel, 36.75 kg of dimethyl terephthalate (189.2 mol), 28.3 kg of 1,4-butanediol (314 mol), 14.5 kg of polytetrahydrofuran having a molecular weight of 1000 (14.5 mol), 4 kg of toluene as an entrainer and 33 g of tetrabutyl orthotitanate (600 ppm based on the polymer) were heated to 190° C. under atmospheric pressure for 2 hours, during which the methanol formed in the course of the transesterification was distilled off continuously. The transesterification product thus obtained, having a relative viscosity of 1.050 (measured in 0.5% strength in 1:1 phenol/o-dichlorobenzol at 25° C.) was condensed in a precondensation zone, 30 mm diameter and 4000 mm length, packed with Raschig rings, as follows. In the upper third, the free surface area was 0.9 m2 /1, while in the remaining two thirds of the precondensation zone it was 0.5 m2 /1. The transesterification mixture was metered in at the top at a rate of 4 kg per hour together with 400 ppm of tetrabutyl orthotitanate and passed at 285° C. under a pressure of from 3 to 8 mmHg through the precondensation zone in the course of a residence time of 5 min to form vaporous butanediol and a precondensate. The mixture of precondensate and vaporous 1,4-butanediol emerging from the precondensation zone was separated in a separator from the vaporous butanediol. The precondensate had a relative viscosity of 114. The melt was left in the separator, which served as the condensation zone, for a further 35 minutes at 275° C. under a pressure of from 3 to 8 mmHg and was then discharged by means of a gear pump in the form of extrudates, consolidated in a water bath and then granulated.
The granules thus obtained were subjected to a 40-hour solid-phase condensation at 210° C. under nitrogen to give a relative viscosity of 2.01 μm/g.

This is such a great organization... I'm glad something like this is out there for today's youth, because it can be hard thinking that you're alone, with no one to talk to...
Amazing staff and team! Great mission and great cause. Such a great resource to youth across America. The Trevor Project, Inc. is a amazing resource to all youth, not just the LGBTQ community.
The Trevor Project has been an ongoing program that has proved vital to numerous LGBT youth. Through the implementaiton of their new program, Trevor Space, they have allowed youth from across the country (LGBT and Allied youth)to connect in a safe environment, share their stories and continue to provide one-on-one personal mentoring. Not only does Trevor Space and the Trevor Project provide suicide prevention for LGBT youth, it provides them with a situation in which they can feel comfortable about who they are, explore their identity, and find similar youth with whom they can share their experiences and simply become friends.
Has helped a lot of rural youth without resources nearby to believe in themselves and not give in to fear and self-loathing.
As a member of our community, with my religious upbringing, i have had the unfortunate circumstance to see others, especially in my 18-20 year old years of life to see friends give into the TREMONDOUS and illogical pressures imposed upon them. If the Trevor project existed in San Diego and Orage county when i was but youngling, I beleive there would have been less losses and more peope here today who realize...your family are those who you choose, not always those we are born with. Support the Trevor Project, be it here at home or anywhere in the world. We can all participate and grow our world to make EVERY community count.
This organization saves lives, and reaches out to the small towns and rural regions in a way that few organizations have been able to do! I remain impressed by their dedication and drive, especially whenyou consider that many of their counselors are volunteers. The small but very professional staff of The Trevor Project deserve kudos for their leadership and training efforts!
The Trevor Project is an invaluable resource for the GLBTQ community. Without Trevor, many young people would have to traverse the very difficult process of coming out by themselves. Those who have supportive friends/family are lucky, this service is there for those who may not. The Trevor Project saves lives everyday!
In my opinion, there is no more crucial cause than the death of a young person by suicide. The Trevor Project educates all about how tragically common this is, especially among LGBT teens. The disproportionate prevalence underscores not only a huge problem, but also where resources can be allocated to make a real difference saving lives. The Trevor Project is doing just that. It is a life-saver for some and a rallying call for others, pushing us all to pay attention to the needs of LGBT teens and our ability to make a real impact.
Having been deeply involved in TBLG organizations for the past several years, I've had the opportunity to see in many organizations the policies that further our cause - or hold us back. Fortunately, we have an erudite organization like the Trevor Project that is making great strides without stumbling. They have become a respectable model of how to run an organization and create significant, real-world impact; this alone is enough to make me help them in any way I can (especially by plugging them like I am now), but the fact that I've seen and heard how much this means to the youth they serve will make me forever beholden to this organization.
I work with LGBT teens whom I often refer to The Trevor Project website. I have found that just giving out the phone number and website to our kids helps them know that not only do I care but others are available to help and they are not alone. Thank you for all of your great work!!!

Electronics company LG used Instagram to build on the successful reveal of its new LG G5 smartphone, using targeted video content to show that "Life is Good when you Play More.
LG Electronics is a global leader in consumer electronics, home appliances and mobile communications. Established in 1958, it has since led the way into the modern digital era, releasing industry first mobile technologies and solutions that support its "Life's Good" brand proposition.
reach across countries
Following the reveal of its newest flagship smartphone, the LG G5, LG wanted to maximize impact and maintain excitement until the device's availability in April. The aim was to engage with an online audience aged 18-40 and to show them why "Life is Good when you Play More."
Instagram was the ideal channel for LG to showcase its G5 content to a visually engaged audience and to trigger user engagement in the lead up to the product being available on shelves.
To produce its creative, LG researched a number of keywords to determine which would garner the highest and most desirable reactions from its online audience. Its analysis found 'kidult' to generate the greatest response. Because of this, it shaped a video content series that embodied a youthful, fun and joyful message that aligned with its 'Life is Good when you Play More' tagline.
A series of five images and one video, featuring various toy characters humorously highlighted the playful concept and showcased a number of the device's features, including its modular design, full metal uni body and wide angle camera. By using video ads, the brand could effectively showcase the eye-catching, seamless looped video content while presenting the product in a creative and original way. The content also fit naturally in people's feeds.
LG measured the impact of the campaign through video views and website traffic, exposed to over 16M Instagrammers in nine countries and achieving over 1.7M engagements.

Do you have an hourly employee who seems to be getting a tremendous amount of work done? Make sure she isn't skipping breaks.
Recent case: When Linda-Mae Mellon's workload increased, she simply started skipping breaks and worked extra hours. Then her supervisors began checking her time records and told her she had to take her breaks. She got angry and was fired after the conversation deteriorated into a shouting match.
Mellon sued, alleging her employer forced her to falsify time records.
The court dismissed the case, reasoning she had been fired for failing to record her time accurately without her company's knowledge. Had the employer ignored the warning signs and allowed her to keep working without pay, she might have won. (Mellon v. Hospice Preferred Choice, No. 09-932, DC MN, 2011)

Zelda's stubby tail wags, and her brown eyes are trusting as she meets new people. You'd swear she's even smiling, white teeth gleaming.
The 6-year-old German shorthaired pointer faced an uncertain future in summer 2010, but she's among the lucky ones helped by Safe Place for Pets. The organization was founded in 1996, when a hospice nurse decided she had to help terminally ill people find homes for their critter companions.
Zelda's human died in July 2010. His daughter, Melody, dearly loved the dog but was allergic to her. Cathy Woods, Safe Place's placement coordinator, worked with Melody to guarantee Zelda would have a soft place to land.
"She had so much to deal with when her dad died, it was a hard situation for her," Woods says. "He was fairly young and she had small kids of her own, trying to deal with his home and the dog and everything. I think she was really grateful."
Woods shared a testimonial that Melody e-mailed to her. An excerpt: "I love everything you do, and everything you stand for. Thank you so much for being a light source at such a dark time for myself."
Rising numbers
Melody learned about Safe Place through the hospice that cared for her father. In the 15 years since Pikes Peak Hospice donated the seed money, the organization has built a network of contacts to help animals and people who love them.
"We work with all the hospices and oncology units or cancer centers, anyone who deals with end-of-life issues," Woods says. "The hospices often will hear from someone who has to relinquish a pet. So we'll often get a phone call on intake and then we'll handle it from then on."
In 2010, Safe Place found new homes for 69 pets. According to Woods, that's its highest one-year total ever. She started working for Safe Place in 2001 and estimates the organization placed 15 to 20 animals that year.
"We know these pets are just so grateful," Woods says. "It's not like when they go to a shelter because they've been abused; it's more they're just wanting someone to love them. They adjust pretty quickly, but things will pop up, strange behavior issues, so we really need to address that with the adopters and make sure that they're keeping an eye on the whole picture."
Safe Place can call on local trainers, who offer the first session free and discount future sessions to ensure the pets adapt. Several local veterinarians discount fees for Safe Place pets; the organization helps with those expenses when needed.
Woods points out that 90 percent of funds raised go to the animals. Safe Place's staff is all-volunteer; everyone on the 10-member board has a designated role, and more than 100 other volunteers help out.
Their assignments include distributing a monthly newsletter featuring available pets to veterinary offices and anywhere animal lovers go. Some volunteers are trained specifically to work with dying people and their families.
This season, volunteers will help raise funds through book-wrapping events at Barnes & Noble. They'll be at the Citadel branch from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Nov. 29 and Dec. 6, and at the location near Chapel Hills Mall from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Dec. 20.
All applicants to adopt pets must pass background checks. If it takes a while to identify a new home, Safe Place has about 12 foster homes for cats and up to 15 for dogs. Woods recently found a new coop for a flock of pheasants.
Now, the team is formalizing a program to help people with terminal illnesses who are still at home and want to keep their companion animals as long as they can.
"Some people want to know before they die, and they want to meet the people," she says. "Others really would rather just keep them until the end and have their family handle it."
Zelda's story
That brings us back to Zelda.
Two summers ago, Amy del Rio rushed her aging dog to the emergency veterinary office, where she was told her pet was brain-dead. She was in the waiting area, filling out paperwork after the euthanasia, when she picked up a binder that included Safe Place's monthly newsletter.
"Zelda was one of the first animals I saw," del Rio says. "She had this chocolate head with her mouth open and tongue hanging out like she was smiling. I fell in love with her."
She went home and told her daughter about the dog. They decided that, when they were ready, they'd try to adopt Zelda.
"We waited just a few weeks, and my daughter went on the website and said, 'Mom, Zelda's still there!' So I feel like our old dog kind of led us to her."
When Zelda isn't sleeping on the couch or enjoying her family, she's in the backyard patrolling for squirrels. Del Rio and her daughter have befriended the Safe Place volunteer who fostered Zelda for three months, so Zelda still sees her "foster mom" occasionally.
It's all about creating a circle of caring people, surrounding animals so ready to love and be loved.
"The most important thing for me about Safe Place: My dad died of cancer, Zelda's owner died of cancer," del Rio says. "So I felt like I was not only helping a pet, I was helping a person."

veganmofo 12: gettin' my greens & grains
There's so much about the world and what's going on that makes me shake my fist and head and anything else that ain't tied down, but one thing I super applaud is the all-the-foods salad.
Less grain-heavy than the average Portland bowl, I can usually—usually—eat these things in one sitting and not need someone to roll me home. Yet they've got a full, nicely balanced bunch of nutrients, which I occasionally care about.
This one's from Laughing Planet, the burrito place. (Yes, I can go to a burrito place and not get a burrito.) It's the Grains & Greens salad, and it's got some lettuces, kale, sprouted lentils, quinoa, cherry tomatoes, radishes, dried cranberries, and grilled broccoli in a pretty light basil-garlic vinaigrette, plus sunflower seeds. For a little extra, they'll put a whole bunch of tempeh on there for ya.
I've ordered this a few times and it is, of course, a little different each time. Different cooks, lunch rush versus quiet time, you know how it goes. But it's always pretty great. Light enough for our freakishly hot late-summer days but comforty enough for gray, rainy days…
Awww, Grains & Greens salad, I think I might love you

Cat, Squirrel, and Duck have a very serious problem: there are no ripe pumpkins in the garden for their favorite soup! They'll have to make something else, but while Cat and Squirrel are willing to experiment, all Duck wants is pumpkin soup. He won't even try a taste of the fish soup or mushroom soup, and the beet soup his friends make is the last straw "I'm not eating that," he says. "It's pink!" Can Cat and Squirrel find a way to please their fussy friend?
This follow-up to the popular Pumpkin Soup and A Pipkin of Pepper is a perfect story about a picky eater, illustrated with rich, expressive paintings in which children will find much to discoverand it includes a recipe for pink soup!
This is a cleverly-written story about the finicky Duck who will not eat any of the recipes Squirrel and Cat concoct for him unless it is his favorite, pumpkin soup. Absolutely nothing else will do. However, no matter how or where they all search for a pumpkin, none can be found. Cat even digs out an old recipe book to search for something else they can make. The three go fishing and cook up a batch of fish soup. "Scrumptious!" says the cat. "Nutritious!" says the squirrel. "YUCK!" Duck fusses. They go shopping and Duck does nothing but complain and whine to go home. Squirrel and Cat buy something quick before leaving for home: Beets. The best soup ever, thought Squirrel and Cat. Duck took one look at the pink soup and refused it. Then, he complained some more and went to bed with a headache. This is a really good book to read to the fussy child who refuses to eat certain foods. The insects along the periphery of each illustration distract from the main story but show a charming story in themselves and don't stand out enough to detract from the text. The ending is wonderfully different.

La Trobe MP Jason Wood announced on Monday 5 June that the $50,000 plan to install new drinking fountains at the 1000 Steps will be delivered.
As part of an election commitment, the proposal aims to not only provide users of the track with clean drinking water, but also assist in reducing rubbish left at the site.
In turn, this will greatly reduce rubbish clean-up operations from Parks Victoria rangers, with an estimated 100 hours annually dedicated to cleaning rubbish from users of the track.
Mr Wood said it was important to protect this local attraction.
"The 1000 Steps in the Dandenong Ranges have been an icon and a huge driving force for tourism since its creation in the early 1900s," he said.
"We have seen exponential growth in the number of locals and tourists using this track, with roughly 700,000 people visiting every year.
"But, unfortunately, much of the debris created around the area comes from discarded water bottles.
"With so many people using this track each year, the amount of rubbish being left behind is becoming an issue."
Mr Wood says the Federal Government is ensuring that local environment tourist attractions, such as this one, will be maintained and upgraded where necessary.
"We understand that the community needs these kinds of safe and serene places to foster a love of the outdoors and involvement in physical activity, while promoting tourism in the area," Mr Wood said.

These are like EVERYWHERE!!!POLKA DOTS!! Every single store had something most delicious in Polka dots and I ended up getting that something from each store I visited during the last weekend.
Polka Dots
Cardigans and Sweaters
Cardigans, Blouse, Scarf, Gloves, Dress, Bags, Shoes etc... you name them and they have it in polka dots. At every price point and multiple composition of fabrics. There is something for everyone.
I picked 2 Cardigans and 2 Layering tops from Old Navy in different Colors. The Cardigans are 100% Cotton and they were around $20 each (approx). The Tank tops or layering pieces were barely $5 and were on Clearance. Most of the clothing I saw in white polka dot prints were very sheer for my liking.
Ann taylor had a lovely Polka dotted scarf in Silk and Cotton Blend. It came home with me as well.
My Best Score was a cute 100% Silk top from Anthropoligie. It was on clearance at $50! Super Soft and super girly and flowy. I just love the feel of silk. Unfortunately, once you start loving silk, it becomes difficult to like polyster. No seriously!!
From Gap I scored a beautiful Grey Top with Blue Big Polka dots. Super comfy and Super cute. Would looks great with any blue skinny jeans or Black Leggings.
GAP had lovely Scarves as well and reminded me of Marc by Marc Jacob Scarves.
The Limited had shell tops in a Polyster and Rayon Materials. I picked them as well, but have no pic in print to share. It is on their website.
I also scored a beautiful Satin/Modal fabric top from Nordstrom rack and it is super stunning. It is Oatmeal color in my pics above. Feels like Silk, but it is not.
It is from Nic and Zoe.
H n M had a trendy button down shirt. Looks super cute, but the fabric is not amazing. you pay for what you get. It was $ 12.95 only.
How could I leave that one.
Nordstrom and Neiman marcus too had some cute silk tops, but they were not in my price range. One that I really liked was from Kate Spade (above right)
There were some amazing stuff at other stores as well, especially Franchesca's Boutique and likes, but some of them didn't fit and I could not justify the price of few pieces, even though they were cute.
What are your Pics from Polka Dots. Any suggestions for Silk Tops? More interested in flowy ones and not professional looking. I would prefer trying these tops on before buyings. Please suggest some brands and link if possible.
Thanks for reading and have a great week ahead.
Disclaimer: I am not a fashion blogger. These are just few things I picked and have shared.

Polka Dots are everywhere! :)ReplyDelete
Yesterday, I picked up a draped top with Pola Dots from Rosemunde: http://www.rosemunde.com/draped-top-big-dot-print-47139. It was a bit pricy (even though it's on sale), but I just love the combination of Polka dots and the autumn feel to the top.
P.S. I LOVE that Ann Taylor scarf :)

Sundowns and Zamalek met in the group stage of the competition with the South Africans winning both meetings.
Zamalek last won the competition 14 years ago while Sundowns are looking to win it for the first time.

Macauley in battle
Big midfield decision for Gavin ahead of huge showdown with Mayo
Jim Gavin's most pressing selection decision of this All-Ireland semi-final week surrounds whether or not to recall Michael Darragh Macauley to his starting midfield for Sunday's clash with Mayo.
The 2013 Footballer of the Year was dropped for the quarter-final win over Fermanagh due mainly an inability to relocate his best form after a sequence of niggling injuries this year.
"I think every player, if he's not getting game time, is disappointed," Gavin offered when asked about Macauley's reaction to being left out, though the Ballyboden man did appear as a half-time substitute for Denis Bastick.
He qualified the statement by adding: "Sometimes the team that finishes is more important than the team that starts. We pick the team on merit and players who are playing well."
With the fledging Brian Fenton enjoying a rich run of form, Gavin must now decide which of he, Macauley or Bastick is left out when he names his starting team on Friday night.
Otherwise, Dublin may well start as they began against Fermanagh, with Paddy Andrews expected to hold his spot in attack ahead of the claims of the likes of Kevin McManamon, Alan Brogan and Cormac Costello.

Is there more drama in an all-girls school?
Relatively speaking, no, for a variety of reasons. The girls figure out quickly that it makes so much more sense to be friends with all those around her. Also, our administration has a limited tolerance for unkind exchanges and addresses them immediately with the student, parents, and all those involved.
How does an all-girls program change the environment?
The girls feel more comfortable in class, so learning becomes easy.
How does an all-girls program change the academics?
Given our all-female audience, we adjust how and what we teach. We adjust our instructional strategies and pedagogy to positively impact her learning. We also adjust what we teach. For example, we adjust some of our PE units to include yoga and offer a self-defense course (before going off to college).
How does an all-girls program impact her opportunities?
It offers her significantly more opportunities... since the leader of every club, team, speaker at graduation, etc… is a female! Our students' resumes are filled with leadership opportunities.
Do you follow the Common Core ?
No, we follow the College and Career Readiness standards. We do not ask the girls to take NYS tests but instead focus on age appropriate PSAT tests to identify strengths and weaknesses starting in 7th grade. Our full-time Curriculum Coordinator and curriculum leaders, like all successful teams, focus on continuous improvement through a 12-month period, continually focusing on our students' best interest.
What does the Admission Committee consider for acceptance?
We review the student's academic records and entrance exam scores. Often times, we reach out to our prospective parents to learn more about their daughter.
What financial assistance do you offer?
We offer need-based aid, a Multiple Daughter Incentive and a variety of scholarships based on leadership, academics, character, service, and commitment to the arts. See website, admissions tab, financial, for more information.
What is the time frame for acceptance?
The admissions decisions are sent approximately 4 weeks after the student takes an entrance exam. During this time, we are collecting student records and are waiting for the national test results.
What is the time frame for financial aid?
Current families' financial aid applications are due by March 16, 2018. For prospective families, all aid applications are managed and distributed on a rolling basis. To qualify for the 'first-round' of financial aid, please submit your completed application by February 6, 2018. Financial aid is managed by our VP of Finance, Peggy Kenrick, 585-288-7120, x307.
What is the average aid per student awarded for the 2017-2018 school year?
6th grade = $3,000; middle school = $3,500; and high school = $4,500. A total of $1,470,000 in aid was awarded to our families in 2017-2018 (75% of those who applied for aid received it).
What programs do you have in place to assist our daughters in their transition?
We offer a variety of programs specifically for that purpose such as the full day student orientation and the parent orientation in August. We also meet with new students individually as well as in small group. We actively encourage our girls to get involved with any of our 30 clubs and multiple athletic teams as well as encourage all to sign up for our many service opportunities.
For the first year, how do you place students within the course offerings?
In the spring, our counselor reviews each student file and mails home a recommended course selection sheet. Parents are encouraged to call or send an email providing additional academic background on their daughter as well. In the following fall, adjustments can also be made as the student works with her teachers and counselor.
If she starts in middle school, is it too long for all girls?
No. Our girls gain confidence throughout their experience here with us and that confidence shines through in all their social interactions going forward. In addition, our girls, while here, have an opportunity to meet new friends at dances, plays, and participation in athletic teams such as sailing, co-ed events on campus, and academic teams, such as debate club.
Does her middle school choice matter?
Yes – for a variety of important reasons. First and foremost, it matters academically – as our program is vertically aligned from 6th grade through 12th grade. It also matters as it relates to our girls' opportunities to meet with and work with our performing arts teachers, athletic coaches, and club moderators.
What academic assistance is available ?
Our teachers are here before and after school as well as during our scheduled "Advisement" time, twice a week to assist our students. We also offer an after school tutoring program for our students as well as a full-time BOCES employee to provide accommodations.
Who can I talk with regarding my additional questions?
