The MB-ProVap-5 is a versatile research and development tool for thin film deposition under vacuum conditions. The medium size chamber offers additional space for more sources and optional deposition tools such as substrate heating and masking. The rectangular chamber design also offers additional pump configurations such as more powerful turbo-molecular and cryo-pumps.
Instead of the automated chamber lifting mechanism of the MB-EcoVap, this system series offers a rear mounted hinged service door which hermetically seals against ambient conditions. For the glovebox integrated version this unique feature allows maintaining and cleaning the interior of the deposition tool without contaminating the inert conditions inside the connected glovebox.
The space saving sliding front door offers an ergonomically optimized access to all components located inside the MB-ProVap. Procedures such as loading the sources, mounting the substrate and cleaning the system after the deposition are very easy and convenient. The standard features of the MB-ProVap design separates this tool completely from other solutions which have not been originally configured for glovebox integration.
Process Development
From a process point, a larger chamber with its additional vacuum ports allows for additional sources to be integrated into the chamber and for the overall source arrangement to be optimized which enhances the achievable coating uniformity and process quality. All commonly available sources for RF and DC sputtering, thermal resistance evaporation, organic material coatings and E-Beam processes have been integrated and are successfully used from MBRAUN's growing global customer base.
In addition, a process team has been established at MBRAUN to consult and support customers to choose the appropriate chamber size and to find the optimum source configuration for each specific coating process. The in-house application lab equipped with a MB-ProVap-7G system and several state-of-the-art metrology tools offers the possibility to simulate and verify the process conditions of challenging coating
Specifically for the ProVap series MBRAUN offers tailored solutions for demands which do not follow conventional requirements such as enhanced source control (multi-source co-evaporation), customized substrate masking, advanced heated/cooled substrate fixtures and many more.
Please contact us if we can support you in choosing the right thin film deposition system for your specific application.

RALEIGH � The Boro is back to being the best girls� soccer team in the state.
RALEIGH � The Boro is back to being the best girls� soccer team in the state.
Freshman Tylor Ring scored two goals to lead Swansboro to a 3-0 victory over South Iredell on Saturday in the NCHSAA 2-A championship match at N.C. State University�s Dail Soccer Stadium.
Ring was named the final�s most valuable player for the Pirates (23-5-1), who won their fourth state title in program history and first since winning their second consecutive crown in 2010.
Swansboro�s last three championships have come under coach Doug Kidd.
�They�re all special and it doesn�t get old. I can tell you that,� Kidd said. �But it is special for these kids because they really worked hard. They�ve have great attitudes, they�ve done well in the classroom and it�s great to see them just improve.�
By capturing the state title, the Pirates capped a 10-game winning streak, a stretch that saw Swansboro not allow a goal. Swansboro outscored its six playoff opponents 30-0.
Indeed, the Pirates had played like the state�s best team.
�We played our best soccer the last four weeks of the season,� Kidd said. �We peaked at the right time and it was a lot of fun to watch them do that.�
It certainly is fun winning a title.
�I�m just so happy,� senior midfielder Julianna Tucker said. �There�s no better way to end it.�
Senior midfielder Brenna Kate Grass agreed, adding her adrenaline was at an all-time high after the final whistle.
�We all just ran onto the field. It was awesome,� Grass said. �It was the best feeling ever.�
Meanwhile, South Iredell (22-3) suffered defeat in its first visit to the state final. The Vikings just couldn�t match the Pirates� intensity and skill across the pitch.
�It looked like his team showed poise early,� South Iredell coach David Basinger said of Kidd. �They are well-coached and it�s a very good game of soccer they play. They don�t do anything fancy; they just move the ball quickly and they move it to open space and they keep it stretched so thin that you can have trouble marking them.
�When you do recover, then they switch it back on you. So it�s just constant ball movement. It�s a great style of soccer. No wonder he�s coached so many state championships.�
Sophomore Kimberly Moore added a goal and an assist and Grass had two assists for the Pirates, who controlled possession from the start.
Swansboro�s edge in ball control and scoring chances then opened the door for Ring to give the Pirates a 1-0 lead 14:38 into the first half.
Moore started the chance with an 18-yard shot that was blocked by Vikings goalkeeper Sam Stec. Grass then rebounded the ball near the left side and crossed it inside to Ring, who beat out a defender for the ball and shot past Stec.
�B.K. got it off the deflection and I ran in to try to see what I could do,� Ring said. �I could feel somebody on my back and B.K. just gave me an amazing ball and it all worked out.�
With the lead, the Pirates kept attacking.
�That was a big goal because it boosted our confidence,� Moore said. �It made us want to step up our level again.�
Swansboro then extended its lead in the second half.
Moore scored with 23:30 left in the match off an assist that was credited to Grass, who played the ball at the left corner and crossed it to inside the 18-yard box. The ball barely deflected off Ring before it squirted out toward Moore, who then fired an open shot.
�I played the ball to B.K. and she made a great cross, the ball bounced and I just followed it in,� Moore said. �I looked and I just took my shot and I hoped it went in.�
Ring would then complete the scoring for the Pirates when she found the net with 9:40 left after playing a throughball from Moore. Ring scored 1v1 against Stec.
�Tylor showed tremendous composure,� Kidd said. �Early in the year she would have shot that probably from the 18, but she listened to her coaches all year long, took it in and their keeper was frozen and she just sized it up well and knocked it away. It was fantastic.�
Swansboro�s goals were a result of good ball movement, something the Pirates managed throughout the postseason.
�We just put passes together and played well to feet,� Grass said. �And we finished our chances.�
The Pirates� defense was just as good. The collective efforts of defenders Kanani Thomas, Haley Stewart and Abby Taylor prevented South Iredell from mustering any point-blank shots.
All seven of the Vikings� shots on goal came from outside the 18 with three being off direct kicks. Swansboro goalie Roxanne Green had seven saves.
This was just the third time the Vikings were shut out in a match.
�I think our defensive pressure was very good and that was one of our focal points,� Kidd said. �We felt like we could pressure them into mistakes or take them out of rhythm and just disrupt them and I thought we did that.�
The Pirates were especially good against the Vikings� leading scorer, Miracle Campbell, who entered the final with 29 goals and 15 assists.
�We had heard about her and so we were ready for her,� Thomas said. �We just knew we had to keep our game plan. Center back Haley Stewart would determine that either me or Abby would go mark her. And then we just kept extra people around her.�
Overall, Swansboro was just a better team.
�They had the right people marking our dangerous players,� Basinger said. �The 50-50 balls make a huge difference in any game and I would give them realistically 75 percent or even more (of them). It�s the hustle stats that win and they got them today.�
And as a result, Swansboro is the state champion.
�These girls never stopped working and they trained well,� Kidd said. �They really are smart kids and they really applied that on the field and they just got better. It was great to see them get rewarded this way.�
Swansboro 1 2� 3
South Iredell 0 0� 0
GOALS�Swans: Ring 2, Moore. ASSISTS�Swans: Grass 2, Moore. IN GOAL�Swans: Green (7 saves). SI: Stec (8 saves). SHOTS ON GOAL�Swans 11, SI 7. CORNER KICKS�Swans 3, SI 1. RECORDS�Swans: 23-5-1, state 2-A champion. SI: 22-3, state 2-A runner-up.

It's too easy to let New Mexico off as simply "The Land of Enchantment."
It's true the state has magical desert vistas, Rocky Mountain playgrounds and charming adobe communities that predate Columbus' arrival by a few thousand years. But there's an undeniably eclectic and occasionally dark side to the 47th state as well.
In Roswell, residents see UFOs with frightening regularity. In Santa Fe, they burn Zozobra, or "Old Man Gloom," at the stake every fall. And Trinity Site, near Alamogordo, is the first spot on the planet where humans detonated an atomic bomb.
Considering that New Mexico is essentially a bilingual state, where about one-third of families speak Spanish (some villagers in the northern mountains speak a dialect of 16th-century Spanish), New Mexico often feels like a foreign country. Add the interesting juxtaposition that it's the fifth-largest state (121,589 square miles), but has a population of about 2 million people (about half the population of Los Angeles), making it one of the least densely populated states in the country.
All of which means that there is quite a lot of space to explore. You might be surprised by what you find:
1. Christmas is served 365 days per year.
Walk into any New Mexico restaurant, order an enchilada or burrito and the waitress will ask the inevitable: Red, green, or Christmas? That's local parlance for "How do you prefer your chile?" The spicy, capsaicin-rich sauce made from the official state vegetable smothers most everything that comes out of a New Mexico kitchen. Whether you prefer spicy green, mellow red, or "Christmas," a combination of the two, the little-known secret about New Mexico chile is that red and green are one and the same. The difference is how ripe the pepper is when picked.
2. Monks brew beer.
Drive about 65 miles northwest of Santa Fe on U.S. 84, past Pedernal, the iconic flat-topped peak painted by Georgia O'Keeffe, and Ghost Ranch, where portions of "The Lone Ranger," "Wyatt Earp" and "No Country for Old Men" were filmed. Then take a left on Forest Service Road 151. At the end of the 13-mile-long road is Monastery of Christ in the Desert's tap room, where you'll find the smooth, cool tang of a classic Belgian ale. The Benedictine monks grow their own hops to brew six of the best beers in the Southwest under the label Abbey Beverage Company. Beware: Tripel Ale has 9.2% alcohol content, and beer is not allowed at vespers. Reserve a free tasting at least 48 hours in advance.
3. The wine industry here is older than California's.
It all began in 1629 when Franciscan friar García de Zúñiga and a Capuchín monk named Antonio de Arteaga planted the first wine grapes in the Rio Grande Valley to use for Communion. By 1884 New Mexico was producing almost a million gallons of wine annually. Indian raids in the 19th century and flooding in the early 20th century brought the industry to its knees, until a group of European investors began importing French hybrid vines to New Mexico to grow small boutique wineries.
Today, the state has more than 42 wineries that produce more than 700,000 gallons of wine annually. The Gruet family, established French winemakers who moved to New Mexico to run an experimental vineyard in 1984, grow grapes at 4,300 feet. The altitude must work magic. Gruet's sparkling wines are some of the best in the country. Not likely to stop for a sip in New Mexico? Try a Gruet blanc de noir at the Montage Beverly Hills or Blue Smoke in Manhattan.
4. Route 66 crosses itself.
Cruise Albuquerque's Central Avenue today and the buildings might be described as faded retro. Flashback to the 1950s and this blacktop strip was the soul of Route 66, the 2,400-mile scenic highway that passed through eight states along the way from Chicago to Los Angeles. At the height of "The Mother Road's" popularity in 1955, 98 motels lined Central Avenue. Today one of the strangest corners is the intersection of Central Avenue and Fourth Street in downtown Albuquerque. Due to a change in the road's alignment in 1937, this is where historic Route 66 (Fourth Street) intersects with modern Route 66 (Central Avenue).
5. Santa Fe is very high, very old, and contains a miraculous staircase.
Quirky and charming, Santa Fe sits at 7,000 feet above sea level, making it the highest state capital in the country. It's also eerily reminiscent of the Old West, especially the downtown plaza's Palace of the Governors, which was built in 1610, more than 300 years before New Mexico became a state. The "City of Faith" is also home to a few miracles, like the Loretto Chapel's circular wooden steps. Built by an unidentified man who is said to have shown up at the chapel in 1879 with a donkey and a toolbox, his staircase has two 360-degree turns, no visible means of support and wooden pegs instead of metal nails. Some faithful at the time believed that the mystery man was St. Joseph.
6. It's still the Wild West.
Like many villages west of the Mississippi, Cimarron, in the northeast corner of the state, staked its claim as the "Cowboy Capital of the World." Buffalo Bill Cody once managed a goat ranch just outside of town and Wyatt Earp, Annie Oakley, and Jesse James stayed at the St. James hotel, famous for being haunted by the men who were murdered there. The outlaw Davy Crockett (a relative of the legendary frontiersman) murdered three Buffalo Soldiers in the bar in 1876. More than a century later, New Mexicans are still allowed to openly carry a gun, no permit required, almost anywhere, including state parks and state and national forests, and restaurants that don't serve hard alcohol. So watch your back.
7. White Sands National Monument isn't your typical sand.
We may be getting hung up on a technicality, but the "sand" in these 275-square miles of shifting dunes 15 miles west of Alamogordo is actually gypsum crystals. (Most inland sand is made from silica in the form of quartz crystals or coral.) That's not the only reason White Sands is surreal: 93 African oryx were imported from the Kalahari Desert and set free between 1969 and 1977. Today more than 3,000 animals, each weighing up to 450 pounds with horns that average 34 inches, roam the dunes. http://www.nps.gov/whsa/index.htm
8. Archaeologists have identified more than 25,000 Ancestral Pueblo sites in New Mexico.
Arrowheads are unearthed almost everywhere in the state, but for the most complete and mind-boggling perspective of these hunter-gatherers who thrived 10,000 years ago, visit Bandelier National Monument near Los Alamos. The park covers 33,677 acres and centers around Frijoles Canyon, where a mile-long hike takes visitors past petroglyphs and masonry walls built into a cliff face. The Ancestral Puebloans cleared out of Frijoles sometime after 1250, possibly because of drought, deforestation, crop failure, or internal conflict. The reasons are still not known.
But to this day their ancestors are scattered across New Mexico in 19 Pueblo communities. One-thousand-year-old Taos Pueblo, a multistory adobe one mile north of Taos, is considered to be the oldest continuously inhabited community in the United States.
9. You don't need lightning to be awed by "The Lightning Field."
In daylight the famous outdoor sculpture built in 1977 by Walter De Maria, appears to be little more than 400 stainless steel poles sticking out of the ground. But come sunset on a stormy mid-July summer evening, the poles will provoke pyrotechnics that make hairs stand on end. Even without lightning, the high desert sky at sunrise and sunset here at 7,200 feet on the edge of the Gila National Forest near Quemado is breathtaking. Make a reservation at least six months in advance to stay in the one rustic, three-bedroom cabin adjacent to the field through the Dia Art Foundation (diaart.org).
10. Ojo Caliente's mineral waters have worked wonders for thousands of years.
Ancestors of the native Tewa tribes, 16th-century Spanish colonizers, and ailing bodies in search of a miracle cure have all made the pilgrimage to soak in the geothermal water that flows from an ancient volcanic aquifer to the surface at the rate of more than 100,000 gallons per day. Southwest of Taos, Ojo officially became a "spa" 145 years ago, but it still has public Lithia, Iron, Soda, and Arsenic springs. For privacy, rent a brand-new Cliffside Suite with kiva fireplace and a private soaking tub.

|Associate Head Coach
|Alma Mater:
|Georgetown Univ. '98
|(919) 681-6890
Kevin Jermyn, who was named Associate Head Track & Field Coach in 2003 and Head Women's Cross Country Coach in July of 2004, enters his eighth season with the Blue Devils. Jermyn's primary responsibilities include coaching the women's middle and long distance runners, which he has developed into a program of national prominence. He was awarded ACC Coach of the Year and NCAA Southeast Region Coach of the Year honors for the 2004 and 2005 cross country seasons and also was named the NCAA East Region Assistant Coach of the Year for distance in the 2004 outdoor season.
The women's cross country team finished second and third in 2004 and 2005 at the NCAA Cross Country Championships and claimed both the ACC and NCAA Southeast Region Championships each of those years. The Blue Devils have qualified for the NCAA Cross Country Championships five consecutive years under Jermyn's guidance, including three consecutive top-10 team finishes. On the track, the Blue Devils middle distance group won the 2005 Penn Relays Distance Medley Championship of America title, the first Penn Relays title in school history for the women. Jermyn's student-athletes have rewritten every middle and long distance Duke relay record indoors and outdoors. The success of the Blue Devil middle and long distance runners also led Duke to a school-record 12th-place finish at the 2007 NCAA Indoor Championships and a 2nd-place finish at the 2005 ECAC Indoor meet.
Individually, Jermyn has coached nine NCAA All-America performers in just seven years. Jermyn coached Shannon Rowbury to Duke's first-ever NCAA individual championship with her victory in the mile at the 2007 NCAA Indoor Championships. Jermyn also coached Shannon Rowbury and Clara Horowitz to two NCAA runner-up finishes each (Rowbury in the mile in 2005 and 3,000m in 2007; Horowitz in the 5,000m and 10,000m in 2006). At the NCAA Regionals, Jermyn has coached two individual champions, guided 14 athletes to All-Southeast Region honors in cross country and led five All-East Region performers in outdoor track. At the ECAC Championships, Jermyn has led five athletes to ECAC individual championships and three relay team championships. Five of his student-athletes have represented the United States in international cross country competitions.
A true student and fan of the sport, Jermyn is continually involved in coaching education programs, clinics and camps. Jermyn is a USATF Level III certified coach in endurance and is Level II certified in sprints, relays and hurdles. During the summer Jermyn directs the Duke Running Camp.
Jermyn's experience as a national class runner, from high school through the professional ranks, is an invaluable asset to his coaching. A member of the victorious Reebok Enclave team at the 1998 USATF Cross Country Championship, he raced to a personal best of 3:43.56 for the 1500-meters on the track. As an undergraduate at Georgetown University, Jermyn led the Hoyas as team captain to numerous Big East and IC4A team championships and NCAA Championship appearances. Individually, Jermyn was an All-America, All-East and All-Big East selection in track and field. As a prep at Tottenville High School in Staten Island, N.Y., he was a three-time National High School Champion, two-time New York State Champion and winner of the prestigious Millrose Games high school mile.
Jermyn graduated from Georgetown University cum laude in 1998 with a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting and finance, and a minor in psychology. He obtained a masters degree in liberal studies at Duke in 2006. Jermyn's thesis was on the coaching implications of gender differences among collegiate runners.

Death row inmate Danny Robbie Hembree walked into Gaston County Superior Court Tuesday with a thick folder of documents in his shackled hands.
The 51-year-old former Gastonia resident temporarily left death row to return to a Gaston County courtroom where he and attorneys took care of pre-trial matters in a second, first-degree murder trial for him.
He�ll face the possibility of a second death sentence for the 2009 killing of Randi Dean Saldana.
Attorneys discussed two matters before Superior Court Judge James Morgan � bringing in jurors from Burke County and omitting information in a third killing for which Hembree�s been charged.
Three women, one conviction
A jury gave Hembree a death sentence in 2011 for one of the three killings.
The conviction was for suffocating 17-year-old Heather Catterton in October 2009 and leaving her partially nude body in a culvert in South Carolina.
Hembree went on trial again in 2011 for the killing Randi Dean Saldana.
Saldana, 30, was found dead in York, S.C., just two weeks after Catterton�s body was discovered.
A judge declared a mistrial in the trial for Saldana�s killing after Hembree alleged an improper relationship with a Gaston County prosecutor.
Upon mistrial, Hembree�s attorneys, Rick Beam and Brent Ratchford, both of Gaston County, asked to be removed from the case.
Hickory attorney Ted Cummings now represents Hembree as lead counsel.
Connections to cases
Hembree confessed to all three killings for which he was charged with murder in December 2009. In addition to Catterton and Saldana, Hembree also claimed he killed 30-year-old Deborah Ratchford in 1992.
District Attorney Locke Bell wants to keep jurors in the Saldana case from hearing evidence related to Ratchford�s killing.
Cummings will argue at trial that Hembree lied when he confessed to the killings.
�Danny has a propensity to make statements that really throw the light on him because he likes the attention� the notoriety,� said Cummings. �He has a history of misrepresenting the truth.�
Bell said bringing up the 1992 slaying would confuse jurors.
The deaths of Saldana and Catterton had a multitude of similarities, Bell said. The Ratchford slaying was completely different.
Bell said he intends to present a Dec. 4, 2009, confession to jurors, a recording that doesn�t have any mention of Ratchford.
Cummings said a Dec. 9, 2009, confession is also relevant, and that recording includes Ratchford.
Morgan said he�d listen to the recordings before making a decision.
Impartial jurors
The first trial captured regional media attention, showing up on TV and in newspapers before and during the proceedings.
Jurors in the first Saldana trial were brought in from Rutherford County.
Morgan adopted a similar strategy in deciding to bring in jurors from Burke County.
Jury selection will take place in Burke County, but the trial will be conducted in Gaston County.
The trial is scheduled for March.

text: "I am more and more convinced that what gives a ministry its motivations, perseverance, humility, joy, tenderness, passion, and grace is the devotional life of the one doing ministry. When I daily admit how needy I am, daily meditate on the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and daily feed on the restorative wisdom of his Word, I am propelled to share with others the grace that I am daily receiving at the hands of my Savior. There simply is no set of exegetical, homiletical, or leadership skills that can compensate for the absence of this in the life of a pastor. It is my worship that enables me to lead others to worship. It is my sense of need that leads me to tenderly pastor those in need of grace. It is my joy in my identity in Christ that leads me to want to help others live in the middle of what it means to be "in Christ." In fact, one of the things that makes a sermon compelling is that the preacher is worshiping his way through his own sermon" (Paul Tripp, Dangerous Calling, 35).

Raiders coach Dennis Allen said Thursday afternoon that there's a "strong possibility" that wide reciever Jacoby Ford will be placed on season-ending injured reserve.
A new rule permits teams to designate one player on injured reserve for return at some point in the season. However, Allen said if Ford goes on injured reserve, it won't be under the new designation.
Therefore, the Raiders face the prospect of playing the entire 2012 season without Ford, who is one of their most explosive receivers, as well as their kick returner.
Ford suffered a left foot injury at the end of a reception against the Arizona Cardinals on Aug. 17 in an exhibition game. He did not practice or play in a game after the injury. He underwent surgery in North Carolina on Tuesday.
Allen said Ford's injury is the dreaded Lisfranc injury, which has been known to sideline players for lengthy periods and be difficult to rebound from.
Running back Darren McFadden said as much Wednesday, ever mindful of his bout with a similar injury last season.
For now, the Raiders have five receivers on their 53-man roster — Darrius Heyward-Bey, Denarius Moore, Derek Hagan, Juron Criner and Rod Streater.
Allen didn't rule out the possibility of signing a free agent or promoting a receiver from the practice squad.
— In other news, middle linebacker Rolando McClain (ankle) and running back Taiwan Jones (ribs) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday. They missed practice the day before.
Criner (ankle), defensive tackle Richard Seymour (knee), center Alex Parsons (shoulder) and Moore (hamstring) also were limited.
— Allen said long-snapper Jon Condo (concussion) is "feeling better" and will accompany the Raiders to Miami. Condo will play, too, if he is cleared by team doctors.
If Condo can't play, the Raiders are expected to sign Nick Guess from the practice squad to fill in for Condo as the long-snapper.

The Chroma 3 Collection
Skins, also referred to as finishes, are a new feature in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, introduced in the Arms Deal update. They are weapons with different textures that can be equipped in-game. They are entirely cosmetic, holding no gameplay function.
To acquire a skin, one must either:
- Earn them through random drops by playing in online community and official servers.
- "Uncrate" them from opening weapon and promotional containers.
- Trade 10 skins for one of a higher rarity with a Trade Up Contract.
- Trading with other players. Buying skins from the Steam Market is considered a trade.
Also, some variants include a StatTrak™ device, a counter that shows the total amount of kills acquired with the weapon by the current owner. Pressing the inspect key [F] (default) will allow the player to 'inspect' the gun in greater detail and give a better view of the StatTrak™ counter. The player character will turn and inspect both sides of the gun before returning to normal aiming. The inspection can be canceled by reloading, shooting, or switching the weapon.
Access to the inventory is unavailable when the player is alive and after the warm-up in Competitive game.
Many skins also have unique descriptions, and provide extra flavor text to their weapon descriptions. A number of them reference characters in CSGO campaigns.

Example: (sequence (induct p prove) t)See also the definitions of commands
protect, and
General Form: (sequence instruction-list &optional strict-flg protect-flg success-expr no-prompt-flg no-restore-flg)Each instruction in the list
instruction-list is run, and the
instruction ``succeeds'' if every instruction in
``succeeds''. However, it might ``succeed'' even if some
instructions in the list ``fail''; more generally, the various
arguments control a number of aspects of the running of the
instructions. All this is explained in the paragraphs below. First
we embark on a general discussion of the instruction interpreter,
including the notions of ``succeed'' and ``fail''.
Note: The arguments are not evaluated, except (in a sense) for
success-expr, as described below.
Each primitive and meta instruction can be thought of as returning
an error triple (in the standard ACL2 sense), say
(erp val state).
An instruction (primitive or meta) ``succeeds'' if
erp is
nil and
val is not
nil; otherwise it ``fails''. (When we use the words
``succeed'' or ``fail'' in this technical sense, we'll always
include them in double quotes.) If an instruction ``fails,'' we say
that that the failure is ``soft'' if
erp is
nil; otherwise the
failure is ``hard''. The
sequence command gives the user control
over how to treat ``success'' and ``failure'' when sequencing
instructions, though we have created a number of handy macro
commands for this purpose, notably
do-strict and
Here is precisely what happens when a
sequence instruction is run.
The instruction interpreter is run on the instructions supplied in

first time there is a hard ``failure.'' except that if
strict-flg is
supplied and not
nil, then the interpreter halts the first time
there is any ``failure.'' The error triple
(erp val state) returned
by the
sequence instruction is the triple returned by the last
instruction executed (or, the triple
(nil t state) if
instruction-list is
nil), except for the following provision. If
success-expr is supplied and not
nil, then it is evaluated with the
state global variables
erp and
val (in ACL2 package) bound to the
corresponding components of the error triple returned (as described
above). At least two values should be returned, and the first two
of these will be substituted for

Circle Track Has Gathered Some Basic Wiring Tips From Some Of The Industry's Top Wiring Professionals
From the lowest class of stock car racing all the way up to the NASCAR Winston Cup Series, wiring is an important aspect of getting your race car to Victory Lane. One bad connection or exposed wire can ruin your chances of finishing the race. Circle Track spoke to numerous experts who deal with wiring systems in race cars to come up with some hot tips on how to install and maintain your race car's wiring system.
Many of our experts manufacture and install wiring systems for the upper levels of auto racing, such as the Winston Cup Series. Though their products may be at the higher end of the racing spectrum, their tips on proper wiring cover all classes of racing.
In regards to weatherproofing and fire prevention, Dennis Overholser of Painless Performance supplied us with a great many tips, while Wade Brown of Brown & Miller Racing Solutions gave us some pointers on connectors, terminals and switches. Last, but not least, David Hatfield of Hatfield Ignition let us in on some of his tips for batteries, battery cables and ignition wires.
Dennis Overholser is co-founder and vice president of new product development and technical services of Painless Performance in Fort Worth, Texas. He has been in the automotive/racing industry since the mid to late '60s and acquired his electronics training in both the military and at DeVry. Painless Performance supplies parts for all aspects of circle track racing.
For the Saturday-night racer, weatherproofing is essential due to washing the mud and dirt off and out of the race car after the races.
1. Electrical connections can easily be protected with heat-shrinkable connectors, which in some cases have glue inside the terminal that when heated to shrink will also form a watertight seal. These are standard crimp connectors that shrink and seal with the use of a heat gun or small flame.
2. If a fuse center is in need of protection, a simple plastic bag held in place with a rubber band will provide reasonable protection against water and dirt.
3. Inline fuses can also be protected with waterproof fuse holders. An electrical fire is usually caused by equipment failure or wiring that has shorted to ground. There are several simple things that can be done to help prevent an accident.
4. Keep wires away from moving objects, such as brake and clutch pedals.
5. Use fuses or circuit breakers on all electrical circuits to avoid excess overheating. It is better to burn a fuse than the car.
6. Use only high-temp wire, and keep it away from exhaust manifolds and headers.
7. Ensure the battery is properly secured.
8. Route wires through rubber grommets in bulkheads.
9. Install ground straps between the engine and the body and frame. Don't allow your throttle cable to become a body ground.
10. Always route wires on the rollcage and body where they are visible to the driver. Never route wires between the cage and the body where they may be pinched in a collision.
Vibration is one thing that can destroy an electrical system in no time. Electrical connections left hanging loose will soon come apart. Using the glue-type terminals and attaching the wiring to the rollbar or body with simple plastic wire ties will aid in the connection not coming apart. Loose wires will also chafe and short if left to vibrate against rough edges.
Wade Brown and David J. Lee of Brown & Miller Racing Solutions in Concord, N.C. supply wiring systems to Evernham Motorsports, along with other Winston Cup, Busch Grand National and Craftsman Truck Series teams. The wiring division of Brown & Miller Racing Solutions was established in 1999. BMRS personnel possess a combined 32 years of production and high-performance automobile wiring experience and an additional 12 years of electronic engineering experience. BMRS specializes mainly in custom-engineered and -built stock car harnesses using only the latest in assembly equipment.
1. Wire type and size should be chosen based upon load requirements, temperature and operating environment. Be sure the wire size you are using is not too small for the load size. A variety of insulation types are available for varying temperature and environmental conditions.
2. Terminals (i.e. ring, spade etc.) are not only sized by hole or opening size, but also by wire size. A correctly sized terminal/wire combination, when crimped properly, will result in a very reliable connection.
3. Be careful in selecting your connectors. First, consider the environment where the connector is used. A sealed connector is typically best to keep dirt and moisture from contaminating the contacts. Second, a latching-type of connector will prevent the connector from vibrating apart. Third, be sure you do not exceed the current ratings for each contact in the connector. Fourth, make certain each contact is fully seated in the cavity. Many racing electrical failures are due to contacts simply not inserted completely in the connector housing.
4. While splicing, in most cases, is not desirable, it is usually necessary. A splice barrel is most commonly used and, like terminals, it is important to select a barrel based upon the wire size you are using.
5. Be sure the switch you are using is adequate for the load size. Many devices used on race cars (i.e. fans and blowers) can easily exceed the current rating for a switch. Also, be sure to use a "rugged" switch that can withstand the high-vibration environment in a race car.
6. A relay should be used when the current you are switching exceeds the rating of the switch you are using.
7. Using the proper crimp tool for the contact you are using will result in a reliable crimp. There are a wide variety of tools available for most types of contacts. Wrong tool selection may result in:
* Under-crimped loose connections
* Over-crimping causing broken wire strands
* Distorted and unreliable crimps
8. There are many opposing views on the use of solder on a wire harness. When applied properly, soldering can create a very high-quality connection and actually compensate for a poor crimp. Too much soldering will result in overheating the wire and "wicking" of solder under the insulation. The wire will then become very brittle and may be prone to breaking.
9. Be sure to put extra effort and time in the routing and installation of the wire harness. Avoid areas susceptible to damage, high temperatures or areas where excessive flexing occurs.
10. A good ground connection is absolutely essential. A loose or broken ground connection will result in your entire electrical system failing. A reliable wire harness will begin with a secure and robust ground connection.
David Hatfield has 23 years of experience in racing. He is currently the shop foreman for Herzog Motorsports' No. 92 NASCAR Busch Grand National Series Monte Carlo. On the side, Hatfield, a licensed electrical contractor, is the owner of Hatfield Ignitions, which specializes in custom wiring harnesses and ignition wire sets. His systems have won in the NASCAR Winston Cup, Busch Grand National and Craftsman Truck Series.
1. Most local divisions do not run alternators; therefore you must run a battery that can withstand high ampacity quick charges. I have found the most popular battery is a stud-type top mount.
2. A No. 4 size tin-coated copper battery cable is more than sufficient for most racing applications. Be sure insulation is free of any type of defect and terminal ends are clean and tight.
3. Wire is not a place to compromise on quality. I recommend using silver-coated, copper-stranded, Teflon-insulated wire. It is lightweight and in many cases can carry twice the ampacity of a similar automotive-type wire.
4. I recommend using a nylon shroud for the harness assembly. This shroud rates at a high temperature.
5. As for terminals, I find nickel-plated steel terminals, which are crimped and soldered, to be the best.
6. Quality comes first when thinking of your ignition wires. I believe that an eight-millimeter spiral core should be a minimum requirement.
7. The shorter your wires are, the better. This makes everything lighter and simplifies the installation, maintenance and troubleshooting.
A: Quick-Fix Recipe
Even if you follow all of these tips to the letter, you can still have problems. And most likely those problems will occur at the track. That is just how racing works.
"For quick track fixes, your best friends would be a test light, a crimping tool and a small selection of terminals," says Matt Goss of Pacific Industrial Components Inc. (Pico) Wiring Accessories, also the driver of a 200-plus mile-per-hour blown alcohol funny car. "You could probably do just about anything with those. Maybe throw in a piece of wire. You can always splice it if you need to get the car up and rolling again. Also a roll of black electrical tape is essential for quick fixes."
Keep these inexpensive items in your trailer toolbox, and you don't have to worry about not finishing a race because you don't have the essential items to fix a simple wiring problem. Goss also recommends you keep everything clean and make sure you don't have any wires or terminals coming apart. "Basic visual maintenance is very important," he cautioned.

Story highlights
- The wardrobe of "Mad Men" has changed dramatically over six seasons
- The social upheaval of the 1960s played out in the clothes people wore
- Linda Przybyszewski's book, "The Lost Art of Dress" comes out in May
During the past six seasons of the television show "Mad Men," audiences and fashion designers alike have obsessed over the cast's retro wardrobe.
So has Linda Przybyszewski, a University of Notre Dame history professor and the author of the upcoming book, "The Lost Art of Dress: The Women Who Once Made America Stylish."
The 1960s, the decade that "Mad Men" has inhabited thus far, was a time of tremendous upheaval that challenged the principles of the past -- and the fashions, she said. As women and African-Americans fought for social equality and men struggled to normalize their home and work lives, everyone's clothing changed.
We asked Przybyszewski to weigh in on how the "Mad Men" wardrobe evolved, and clue us in to what those shifts said about the time.
Fans don't yet know in what years the show's final season will take place, but count on some bold, colorful changes.
After all, at the start there were "four guys essentially wearing identical suits, and now we have four guys each one of them with distinctive facial hair, color, cut, garment," she said. "That's what the '60s did."

Vision of the Seas - Alaskaby Kuki,
As you've probably noticed I've started each days report with some discussion of the previous evening. Simply, this is due to the difference in time zones. I'm trying to get you these reports in a timely fashion.
All of my reports are coming to you via Royal Caribbean Online. The computer Internet room is located on Bridge Deck (deck 8) right around the corner from my cabin. There are 14 terminals on the Vision. Access is simple and surprisingly fast. It will cost you 50 cents per minute to surf the net or check and answer e-mail. Your time can be charged to your Super Charge card, or most major credit cards. Normally you cannot send e-mail attachments, but the systems specialists onboard are assisting in sending back my pictures from the central computer room.
Speaking of rooms. I haven't yet told you about our superb cabin. We're in a category C cabin on Bridge deck. The cabin has twin beds moved together to form a king size bed. There's also a comfortable seating area with a sofa, cocktail table,
Last night we returned to our regular assigned dinner table. It was interesting to see this group of previous strangers already becoming good friends. Any awkwardness of the first night's meeting was gone, and it seemed the order of the day was now a little Kukiness. We laughed until they threw us out of the dining room.
Wed. Aug. 2 - Skagway
For a moment today I thought I was in St. Thomas, not Skagway. There were 4 ships in port; Sea and Regal Princess, Norwegian Sky and Vision, and it was sunny and warm. I suppose we can understand some of the concerns of Alaska residents in having their ports overrun on a day like this when well over 10,000 people are dropped into a town with a normal population of 800.
That said, I think Skagway is a fun, touristy sort of town that may not even exist without the tourist trade. Mrs. Kuki and I chose not to book any excursions here. We left the ship in the morning and just went walking. I'd call it hiking, but those that know me know I'm not athletic enough to be allowed to use terms like workout, hiking, etc. I believe some states actually have a statute against it.
After our walk we returned to the ship so I could take my nap to recover from activity my body is unaccustomed to. We later walked back to town to enjoy one of my favorite spots in Alaska, the Red Onion Saloon. This place is Skagway's answer to the Caribbean's Carlos and Charlies, or Senior Frogs. It offers a fun "Klondike" feel, with staff dressed in period wear, and a gold rush era piano player entertaining from mid-day on. As the day wears on and more Alaska Brewery products are sampled, a sing-a-long generally gets going.
We did make it back to the ship for our 4 PM
Tomorrow Mrs. Kuki and I are booked for the Glacier Expedition Helicopter Tour, complete with a glacier landing and dog sled ride on Norris Glacier. I'm somewhat concerned my team of dogs will take one look at me, lay down, and start whining... No way we're going to pull HIM!!!
The adventure continues.....

THE, late Edgar Allan Poe, who was the husband of my only daughter, the son of my eldest brother, and more than a son to myself, in his long continued and affectionate observance of every duty to me, under an impression that he might be called suddenly from the world, wrote (just before he left his home in Fordham, for the last time, on the 29th of June, 1849) requests that the Rev. Rufus W. Griswold should act as his Literary Executor, and superintend the publication of his works; — and that N. P. Willis, Esq., should write such observations upon his life and character, as he might deem suitable to address to thinking men, in vindication of his memory.
These requests he made with less hesitation, and [page 348:] with confidence that they would be fulfilled, from his knowledge of these gentlemen; and he many times expressed a gratification of such an opportunity of decidedly and unequivocally certifying his respect for the literary judgment and integrity of Mr. Griswold, with whom his personal relations, on account of some unhappy misunderstanding, had for years been interrupted.
In this edition of my son's works, which is published for my benefit, it is a great pleasure for me to thank Mr. Griswold and Mr. Willis for their prompt fulfilment of the wishes of the dying poet, in labors which demanded much time and attention, and which they have performed without any other recompense than the happiness which rewards acts of duty and kindness. I add to these expressions of gratitude to them, my acknowledgments to J. R. Lowell, Esquire, for his notices of Mr. Poe's genius and writings which are here published.
[The following footnote appears at the bottom of page 347:]
1. This edition of Poe's works was copyrighted by J. S. Redfield in 1849, appearing first in two volumes, then with a third volume containing the notorious Memoir, and finally ending with a fourth and last volume in 1856. It will be noticed that Mrs. Clemm's preface is prefixed gratefully to the volumes that had no Memoir, she apparently never having been cognizant of Griswold's intention to write her nephew's life: Mrs. Estelle Anna Lewis had been specially requested by Poe himself, when they parted, to do this, and N. P. Willis had been invited to assist with a biographical Notice. This appeared in "The Home Journal" the Saturday after Poe died, and is incorporated with James Russell Lowell's sketch in the 1849 edition. See succeeding pages for the Griswold, Willis, and Lowell articles.
What must have been the poor lady's horror and indignation when she read the Memoir, "a concentration of hatred and malice that had already done duty ... in the 'International Magazine' "! After reading it, she never ceased to speak of its author as "that villain." — ED.

Experience-rated employers
Experience rating is an incentive system to promote safe working conditions. Employers who become experience rated can be credit rated or penalty rated, depending on the claims cost record of their particular business.
How does BWC determine if an employer should be experience rated?
BWC receives payroll information from the employer by manual classification annually. Using the payroll reported, BWC applies a manual classification expected loss rate to determine the employers expected losses.
If the employer's expected losses reaches $2,000 or more, then that employer automatically enters into the experience-rating plan.
Within experience rating, an employer with a better-than-average loss experience, compared to others in the same classification, will pay a rate lower than the base rate. The maximum credit in policy year 2017 for private employers is 53 percent while for public employers it's 65 percent.
An employer with a higher-than-expected loss experience, compared to others in the same classification, will pay a rate higher than the base rate. There is no limit on the maximum rate.
Approximately 30 percent of Ohio's employers are experience-rated.

Kindergarten Legislation
22-32-119. Kindergartens.(1) A board of education shall establish and maintain kindergartens in connection with the schools of its district for the instruction of children one year prior to the year in which such children would be eligible for admission to the first grade. Said board may prescribe courses of training, study, and discipline and rules and regulations governing such kindergarten programs. Said kindergartens shall be a part of the public school system, and the cost of establishing and maintaining them may be paid from the general school fund
Did you know that only 19 states or territories require kindergarten attendance? Only 45 states or territories mandate that school districts offer kindergarten at all.
Full-Day Kindergarten
What are the time and attendance requirements for full-day kindergarten?
22-33-104. Compulsory school attendance.
(1) (a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (2) of this section, every child who has attained the age of six years on or before August 1 of each year and is under the age of seventeen years, except as provided by this section, shall attend public school for at least the following number of hours during each school year:
(I) One thousand fifty-six hours if a secondary school pupil;
(II) Nine hundred sixty-eight hours if an elementary school pupil in a grade other than kindergarten;
(III) Nine hundred hours if a full-day kindergarten pupil; or
(IV) Four hundred fifty hours if a half-day kindergarten pupil
If you are thinking of establishing a full-day program, we have some other guidance in statute:
22-54-131. Full-day kindergarten funding - guidelines - technical assistance - legislative intent - legislative declaration.
(1) A district that, prior to the 2008-09 budget year, offered a full-day kindergarten program without additional state funding to some or all of the kindergarten pupils enrolled in the district is encouraged to use the moneys received from supplemental kindergarten enrollment pursuant to section 22-54-103 (7) (d) and hold-harmless full-day kindergarten funding pursuant to section 22-54-130 in the 2008-09 budget year and each budget year thereafter to expand the district's existing full-day kindergarten program rather than to defray the costs of the existing full-day kindergarten program.
(2) In offering a full-day kindergarten program with the moneys received from supplemental kindergarten enrollment pursuant to section 22-54-103 (7) (d) and hold-harmless full-day kindergarten funding pursuant to section 22-54-130, a district is encouraged to follow the basic program standards established by the state board pursuant section 22-28-108 for the Colorado preschool program, as they may apply to a full-day kindergarten program.
The basic program standards are the Colorado Quality Standards for Early Childhood Care and Education Services that CPP already uses. They have guidelines for primary children.

DescriptionThe time for resurrecting historical events has come. Panzer General was one of the first games (if not the first) that actually gave you the ability to play for the Nazis, and yet succeed where Hitler failed. Having total and complete control over land, sea and air units, you must defeat the Allied dogs as fast as you can (to get a major victory), or slower than in history (to get the minor victory).
The game's quality lies in the quantity of units. There are basically hundreds of Axis and Allied units from World War II, accompanied with "circled" animations and battle sounds, as well as marching or moving sounds. The Main menu is always located on the right side of the screen, with plenty of options and selections you can change to suit your preferences.
A turn-based hexagon strategy game that will actually go faster if you have faster computer, but will always be playable (speed doesn't go up infinite). The first and original Panzer General, this installment would be followed by sequels and many other games in the series using the "General" name.

InspirationAccording to SSI designer Chuck Kroegel, the Japanese strategy series Daisenryaku was the primary inspiration for the non-traditional wargame design of Panzer General. Says Kroegel: "I can honestly say that if we hadn't played Daisen Raiku (sic), Panzer General would never have happened, period." [Retro Gamer magazine, Load 43]

A Lancaster woman reported she was attacked by a man while at a friend's house on New Year's Day.
Officers spoke with the 31-year-old victim at a Pardue Street home shortly after the attack, according to a Lancaster Police Department incident report.
The woman told police she was at her friend's home in the 2100 block of Pardue Street just before 11 p.m. when a man she knew started touching her. She told him to stop and when he didn't, she slapped him four times, the report said.

Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver of the 10th Doctor
Alien Tool!
- The tool used by The Doctor himself
- Authentic sound effects from Doctor Who
- UV ink nib and UV reveal light for writing secrets
We here at ThinkGeek HQ just can't get enough Doctor Who. We all dress like different incarnations of the good Doctor, we pal around with robotic dogs, and some of us even sleep in our TARDIS (won it in a really strange poker tournament two years ago). So you can imagine how we danced with joy when we saw this Sonic Screwdriver set. Ready to handle a Time Lord's tool?
Each Sonic Screwdriver feels just perfect. It doesn't really do all the cool things in the series (just in case the Cybermen are able to buy them), but it does have lights and sounds straight from the show - and it extends too! One end has a purple UV light and the other has a pen nib. You can use the regular pen nib to write shopping lists and the UV ink pen nib to write secret plans. These can then be revealed with the UV light of the Sonic Screwdriver. Equip up, Junior Time Lords - it's time to go Dalek hunting.
Sonic Screwdriver
- UV ink pen nib & UV reveal light
- Authentic sound effects
- Standard ink pen nib
- Dimensions:
- Screwdriver: 7" long closed; 8.25" long extended
- Requires 3 AG13 button cell batteries (included)

When I look at the tables created in the NORMA relational view tab, I notice that some table elements are bold and some are not, and that some are prefixed by PK, FK, U# or nothing at all. Where can I find information on how to decode the meaning of all this? Thanks.
PK indicates 'primary key'.
FK indicates 'foreign key'.
U indicates a non-primary uniqueness constraint.
Numbers after the letters help you associate other columns in the same constraint.
Bold means that the column is not null.
Just getting back to this. Thanks for the information. This explained a lot.
I also noticed that there are also entries in the relational view tables with no indicators (PK, FK, U) They seem to correlate with objects for which there are no uniqueness constraints on their role box. I think that I probably need to take another look at section 8.5 of the Big Brown Book to understand the mapping rules/process.

This is a question, where I start with some assertions:
Try to consider the universe as a four-coordinate system, x,y,z,t where t is time and where we view a change in t as a change in position, and as a velocity in the same way as any other change in either of the other components of the coordinate. Everything is then moving at the speed of c. The difference between a photon and another particle would be that a photon "spends" its velocity in any of the x, y or z dimensions - but not in the time dimension.
This implies that all photons are on the same coordinate in the t-dimension - only the x,y,z values change while t remains 0. It also implies that time would appear to stop for something travelling in only the other dimensions, while it would pass fastest for something completely stationary.
You can then also consider space-time as a function of acceleration. A physical objects' coordinate could be derived from its velocity, which would have to be derived from its acceleration. Acceleration would be a function of entropy, or "age" I believe.
Is this the basis of general relativity? Is it at least an initial starting point for general relativity, or is it completely wrong?
Would spin have to be part of the coordinate system?

There's A Really Good Reason You Should Never Share A Razor
Pretty much everyone has done it.
You're out of razors and forgot to pick up a new pack; you're staying at your boyfriend's house and sneakily grab one of his to remove that stubborn leg prickle; you're about to head out for a last-minute, unplanned night on the town and you borrow your mate's.
All good, right?
Wrong. Oh so wrong.
According to dermatologist Whitney Bowe, reaching for someone else's razor is more than just bad manners.
"Shaving results in tiny nicks in the skin," she told InStyle. "And those openings can allow bacteria to enter and spread infection."
Which means anything your housemate/ friend/ boyfriend has, you could be giving yourself.
It gets worse.
"Not only that, but you're vulnerable to warts and bacterial and fungal infections. If there's blood on the razor from a previous cut, it could result in transmitting blood viruses."
Maybe it's time to try waxing?

This month sees the release of CA Cross-Enterprise Application Performance Management, a mainframe application monitoring product designed to collect information on the mainframe and integrate it with CA's own APM suite. The lengthily named new release, also known as CA CE APM to its friends, aims to monitor application transactions in a "single pane of glass" across mainframe, distributed, and the cloud.
"Our clients are focusing on how IT can be more strategic to the business by providing decision makers and IT staff with timely information about IT services, and how their predictability and availability impacts business outcomes," said Dayton Semerjian, general manager of mainframe at CA Technologies. "This new release of CA CE APM offers IT staff more real-time visibility into the customer experience to help them optimize customer-facing applications and services, no matter where they reside."
CA suggests that with the rise of virtualization and cloud computing and the complex mix of mainframe and distributed platforms in the evolving data center, IT staff needs to perform real-time "application triage" to quickly diagnose and fix problems that can impact the customer experience. By providing a 360˚ view of all customer transactions, organizations can better understand the health, availability, and business impact of critical business services to prioritize problem resolution and help assure that service performance meets SLAs.
New capabilities in CA CE APM and its integration with CA APM include over 90 metrics for DB2 for z/OS, end-to-end IMS for z/OS, and the mainframe network to provide data faster. There is also information about network traffic across mainframe and distributed platforms that helps pinpoint problems affecting the performance or availability of an application or service — plus, information on how well SaaS vendor-delivered applications are performing for end-users.

The Product I've Been Keeping Secret
When I first got this gel I hated it! It seemed drying and flaky and got crunchy. I used a lot, I used a little. I had ordered a 3 pack from Amazon and I even gave one away. Then one day a few weeks ago I got a glimmer of a silky curl on day 3 of a mediocre wash and go. I re-evaluated the way I had been using it and adjusted my next application. I added castor oil before I applied it- mixed the two directly together. BAM! silky hair.
For a wash and go, perfect touchable curls. I have yet to try it on a twist out or set, and I don't know if the whole "silk" factor will work there... but I am curious and I will keep you posted.

I just found out I'm allergic to coconut oil. I was getting a reaction like you. Then my doctor referred me to an allergist and he gave me a list of things I'm allergic to. It's long! But that's what was causing a lot of problems. Now I have to be very careful about the ingredients.
I've found that when I combine my amla oil and gel, it doesn't flake. I will be trying the castor oil too.
- February 22, 2011 at 11:21 PM
That's a great point that you may have to try a product a few different ways before you give up on it. I may try this because EcoStyler gives me too much crunch (with and without oil)
- February 23, 2011 at 12:10 AM
I just found your blog a couple of weeks ago and I love it and your hair. My hair is ALWAYS frizzy...so much so that I rarely wear it out now. I'm frustrated but willing to try whatever I can to help tame these curls. Thanks for sharing your secret! I think I'll try that combo. Just one question...how would you describe the smell of the gel? I prefer mild scents. Thanks again!

Hi Takeya! You just reminded me that I didn't post some of the most important information. This is so exciting because it is a natural gel! The only scent is a slight grapefruit freshness from the extract. There are no added fragrances :-)

I love KMF Gel. I use it on top of my leave in conditioner for braid outs and flat twist outs. My hair gets so sheeny, extra-defined and extra-soft while using it.

Hi Nia!
I have been following this blog for about a year or so now and I always find your reviews and tips to be working great on my hair. In this youtube video, you mentionned having had problems with acne, which caught my attention because lately I have been trying EVERYTHING to fight my new acneic skin...:( You see I never really had any acne problems before until less than a year ago, when I got off the pill. I know and am sure that most of it is due to hormonal readjustment in my body, but in the meantime, I need to find the right type of products to lessen the symptoms on my face. It's made me really self-conscious...Do you have any recommendations for face products that are natural?
I am sorry if this comment is this long, but I am desperately looking for a solution...:/
Thank you in advance ;)

I just bought the KMF gel and castor oil. Can you explain how you use the two together? After shampooing and conditioning, do you apply a leave in, then apply castor oil all over, then apply the KMF gel in sections? I'm trying to decide how to use castor oil with KMF gel. I could also mix it together and then apply to hair. What do you do?

Hi Sara! I keep saying I'm going to do a post on what I did to clear up my skin. I really will this week. The first thing I did, after hesitating for almost a year, was visit a dermatologist. I had cysts under my skin and an active infection that I could not get on top of. I ended up on antibiotics byt he time I dragged myself in, and since then I have been taking steps so that I don't return to that horrible state. My acne is also hormonal- caused by PCOS- which will be part of my post. I re-set my skin and no longer use soap. I "wash" my face once a day with castor oil, mixed with Rosemary and Tea Tree oil and I also switched makeup and a few habits so that I am "leaving it alone" more often. My skin is super sensitive and does not appreciate any harsh treatment.

Hello Anonymous :-)
I pre-mix the gel and castor oil together in my hand in small batches as I go. It makes a semi opaque serum when you mix it well. That mixture seems to behave very different than the gel alone or the castor oil alone. I'll make a follow up video on just how I mix and apply it.

Thank you very much for the long post your did on your skin vs. your hair.
I truly appreciate your advices :)

You are my hero!!!!! This combo worked SO WELL on my hair, I truly could not believe it. I'm indebted to you for finding a Holy Grail solution, which, as I am sure many curlies can attest, is a journey in trial--- and a lot of error. My hair is very much like yours - 3b/4a, highly sensitive to humidity, with multiple curl patterns. I've tried expensive stuff and inexpensive stuff but never have I found something that could hold my curl pattern so well without all the stiffness and flakes. Fantastic!@!!!
- June 10, 2013 at 11:15 AM
Love ur hair. And ur Blog.
So u use this without a leave in?
My hair loves castor oil. And the gel on it's own don't work for me either. So i like to try this out.

Mystery Monday - Workin' on the Railroad
Note: It's possible that the gentleman who is kneeling in front with the brake bar(?) in his hand might be James Allen Walker, my grandmother's first husband. He has the same light complexion and sharp features, however, the man in this picture looks older than 27 (to me), the age Allen was at the time of his sad and tragic death. However, I can't rule him out because Allen did work as a brakeman at the Virginia Railway coal pier, so this very well may be him.
Note 2: It's also possible that one of these gentlemen could have been my grandmother's father, Walter Davis. I've never seen a picture of him, but he, too, worked at the pier, and was mortally injured in a train accident in 1935.

A list of book releases compiled by Dr. Dobb's to keep you up-to-date on software development tools and techniques.
Programming Clojure
Stuart Halloway
If you're a Java programmer, if you care about concurrency, or if you enjoy working in low-ceremony language such as Ruby or Python, Programming Clojure is for you. Clojure is a general-purpose language with direct support for Java, a modern Lisp dialect, and support in both the language and data structures for functional programming. Programming Clojure shows you how to write applications that have the beauty and elegance of a good scripting language, the power and reach of the JVM, and a modern, concurrency-safe functional style. Now you can write beautiful code that runs fast and scales well.
Event-Driven Architecture: How SOA Enables the Real-Time Enterprise
Hugh Taylor, Angela Yochem, Les Phillips and Frank Martinez
Going beyond SOA, enterprises can gain even greater agility by implementing event-driven architectures (EDAs) that automatically detect and react to significant business events. However, EDA planning and deployment is complex, and even experienced SOA architects and developers need expert guidance. This book presents both the theory of EDA and practical, step-by-step guidance to implementing it successfully.
Mobile Malware Attacks and Defense
Ken Dunham
Malware has gone mobile, and the security landscape is changing quickly with emerging attacks on cell phones, PDAs, and other mobile devices. This book on the growing threat covers a wide range of malware targeting operating systems like Symbian and new devices like the iPhone. Examining code in past, current, and future risks, protect your banking, auctioning, and other activities performed on mobile devices. Ken Dunham has more than a decade of experience on the front lines of information security. As Director of Global Response for iSIGHT Partners, he oversees all global cyber-threat response operations. He frequently briefs upper levels of federal and private-sector cyber security authorities on emerging threats, and regularly interfaces with vulnerability and geopolitical experts to assemble comprehensive malicious code intelligence and to inform the media of significant cyber threats.
Implementing Automated Software Testing: How to Save Time and Lower Costs While Raising Quality
Elfriede Dustin, Thom Garrett and Bernie Gauf
Testing accounts for an increasingly large percentage of the time and cost of new software development. Using automated software testing (AST), developers and software testers can optimize the software testing lifecycle and thus reduce cost. As technologies and development grow increasingly complex, AST becomes even more indispensable. This book builds on some of the proven practices and the automated testing lifecycle methodology (ATLM) and provides a renewed practical, start-to-finish guide to implementing AST.
Eclipse Modeling Project: A Domain-Specific Language (DSL) Toolkit
Richard C. Gronback
Domain-specific languages (DSLs) and model-driven development (MDD) offer software engineers new ways to improve productivity, enhance quality, and insulate systems from rapid technological change. This is a pragmatic, start-to-finish guide to creating DSLs and using MDD techniques with the powerful open-source Eclipse platform.

THE Scottish Government is being urged to review the smoking ban amid claims that new developments in ventilation and clean air technology could see it relaxed.
• New developments in ventilation and clean air technology could see smoking ban relaxed
• Smoking was banned in enclosed public spaces such as bars and restaurants in 2006
• Lobby group Freedom to Choose Scotland says that European Air Quality standards on indoor areas back up case for ending ban
A petition has been lodged with MSPs which also raises questions over the impact of secondary smoking and points to growing calls north and south of the Border to amend the ban.
Scotland led the way in banning smoking in enclosed public spaces like bars and restaurants in 2006, with the rest of the UK following this path a year later. But other European countries like Denmark and Holland have already relaxed their own bans to allow smoking areas in some premises.
A group called Freedom to Choose Scotland, which has previously lobbied for an end to the ban, says that new European Air Quality standards on indoor areas, published since the smoking ban, backs up its case.
The group says these guidelines do not suggest good practice involves a ban on smoking. It is recognised as a pollutant, along with others, but ventilation requirements are set out to deal with these.
The Petition states: "Ventilation, or clean air technology is a developing science and ventilation includes extraction and other methods of air cleaning,
It adds: "Any effective air cleaning system removes toxins regardless of their source."
The Scottish Licensed Trade Association warned last year that 800 pubs have closed in Scotland since the ban and have called for it to be relaxed.
A campaign entitled Save Our Pubs and Clubs campaign is already up and running south of the Border which is calling for the ban to be amended amid claims that thousands of pubs have been forced to shut n England alone. It has the support of MPs from all the major political parties.
Paul Waterson, chief executive of the Scottish Licensed Trade Association said: "Our ban is one of the most draconian in the world.
"I don't think there's any chance of us going back to the days of smoky pubs in Scotland, but I think certainly we could look at well ventilated areas for smoking within pubs.
"There are many areas of Europe that do have ventilated smoking rooms and I think we could look at that because one thing is for sure, all the smoking ban has done is to close pubs. It hasn't helped anybody to stop smoking. We can protect staff and others with the ventilation systems we've got."
He added that three pubs a week in Scotland are still closing since the ban.

Gravitational Wave Source in NGC 4993
On August 17, 2017, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory detected gravitational waves from a neutron star collision. Within 12 hours, observatories had identified the source of the event within the galaxy NGC 4993, shown in this Hubble Space Telescope image, and located an associated stellar flare called a kilonova. Hubble observed that flare of light fade over the course of 6 days, as shown in these observations taken on August 22, 26, and 28 (insets).
