Phil Alden Robinson Movies
After collecting his BA diploma from Union College in Schenectady, New York,
Phil Alden Robinson
spent three years with the Air Force, then landed a newscasting job at Schenectady's WRGB-TV. Preferring to be a creator rather than a commentator, Robinson began writing and co-directing industrial films. He broke into the Hollywood writing pool with a brace of
Trapper John MD
TV episodes in 1984. That same year, his first movie script, Rhinestone, made it to the screen; while this
Sylvester Stallone
Dolly Parton
vehicle was pretty much a washout, it enabled Robinson to obtain a credit in an "A" production, and also afforded him an opportunity to write the film's song lyrics. After his TV directorial bow in a 1986 episode of George Burns Comedy Week, Robinson helmed his first big-screen effort,
In the Mood
(1987), a fanciful rehash of the life and times of the notorious 1940s teen-aged lothario "The Woo Woo Kid." Two years later, Robinson was able to sell producers Lawrence Gordon and
Charles Gordon
on the notion of a film version of W. P. Kinsella's whimsical baseball novel Shoeless Joe. The resulting film, Field of Dreams, grossed $62 million, cemented the star power of
Kevin Costner
, earned writer/director nominations for an Oscar, a Writer's Guild Award and a Director's Guild Award--and won Robinson the 1990 "Screenwriter of the Year" prize from the National Association of Theatre Owners. Phil Alden Robinson made a comeback in 1992 as screenwriter-director of an enjoyable all-star "computer hacker" adventure, Sneakers. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The successful franchise of Paramount motion pictures based on novelist Tom Clancy's techno-thrillers featuring heroic CIA intelligence analyst Jack Ryan stages a much-publicized "do-over" with this action-adventure that recasts the character of Ryan as a rookie to the complex game of geopolitical warfare. Ben Affleck takes the reins from Harrison Ford as Ryan, a greenhorn CIA historian and analyst who finds himself thrust front and center into the spy community's spotlight when Nemerov (Ciaran Hinds), a Russian politician on whom Ryan is an expert, suddenly becomes the leader of the former Soviet Union upon the current president's unexpected demise. Attached to the director of the CIA, Cabot (Morgan Freeman), Ryan insists -- contrary to the opinions of many high-ranking White House officials -- that Nemerov is not a warmonger. Meanwhile, a cadre of neo-fascists, led by Dressler (Alan Bates), plots the detonation at the Super Bowl in Baltimore, MD, of a nuclear device recovered from a long-ago Israeli fighter jet crash, a terrorist incident they intend to spark a war between the super powers, leaving them to conquer the world in the conflict's post-apocalyptic vacuum. The Sum of All Fears co-stars James Cromwell, Bridget Moynahan, and Liev Schreiber as covert operative John Clark, a character central to another series of Clancy's best-selling tomes. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Band of Brothers: Currahee
The historic HBO miniseries Band of Brothers, based on the non-fiction book by Stephen E. Ambrose, and executive produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, begins with "Currahee," named for the Airborne battle cry. The first episode shows the men of Easy Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne, as they undergo their grueling paratrooper training. The drama begins in England, on the eve of the D-Day invasion, as two lieutenants, Richard Winters (Damian Lewis) and Lewis Nixon (Ron Livingston of Office Space) briefly reminisce about the horrible two years they spent training under Capt. Herbert Sobel (David Schwimmer of Friends), their mean-spirited commanding officer at Camp Toccoa in Georgia. The story then flashes back, showing Sobel ordering his men to run extra miles, repeatedly revoking weekend passes, and generally doing everything he can, it seems, to break their spirit. The troops bond together in their hatred of Sobel and tough it out, becoming the elite company of the regiment. Meanwhile, the straight-laced teetotaler Winters proves to be a resourceful and popular leader. When the troops are shipped to England in preparation for their assault on France, and begin combat exercises in the field, Sobel repeatedly freezes up. He panics and puts his men in harm's way. Things come to a head when, just before the planned invasion of Normandy, Sobel accuses Winters of disobeying a direct order, and the men of Easy Company desperately look for a way to stop Sobel from leading them into battle. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

In this tech-thriller from director Phil Alden Robinson, a group of five renegade computer hackers, led by Martin Bishop (Robert Redford), are hired by the government to steal a black box, containing a code-breaking machine, from the mathematician who invented the device. The government is able to persuade Martin to take the job by convincing him that they will drop a decades-old federal warrant for his involvement in computer fraud. Martin agrees and he takes his team on the mission, eventually taking the box. Shortly after the hackers have stolen the device, the mathematician turns up dead. Before long, the quintet realize that they've gotten themselves into more than they'd originally bargained for, as Bishop's old rival Cosmo (Ben Kingsley) enters into the fold. The eclectic ensemble also includes River Phoenix, Sidney Poitier, Dan Aykroyd, David Strathairn, Mary McDonnell, and James Earl Jones. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

"If you build it, he will come." That's the ethereal message that inspires Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) to construct a baseball diamond in the middle of his cornfield. At first, "he" seems to be the ghost of disgraced ballplayer Shoeless Joe Jackson (Ray Liotta), who materializes on the ballfield and plays a few games with the awestruck Ray. But as the weeks go by, Ray receives several other messages from a disembodied voice, one of which is "Ease his pain." He realizes that his ballfield has been divinely ordained to give a second chance to people who have sacrificed certain valuable aspects of their lives. One of these folks is
writer Terence Mann (James Earl Jones), whom Ray kidnaps and takes to a ball game and then to his farm. Another is Doc Graham (Burt Lancaster), a beloved general practitioner who gave up a burgeoning baseball career in favor of medicine. The final "second-chancer" turns out to be much closer to Ray. That "magical" field in Dyersville, Iowa still draws thousands of baseball-happy tourists each year. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Chevy Chase added a classic comic hero to the film landscape with Fletch, one of his few truly popular star vehicles in a famously misguided post-Saturday Night Live career. Chase plays Irwin M. Fletcher, known to everyone as Fletch, a Los Angeles Lakers-loving investigative reporter with a gleeful disdain for deadlines and a knack for pushing the buttons of his frustrated editor (Richard Libertini). He's also known for donning numerous disguises and assuming zany false identities to help gain information. While pursuing an ongoing story about a powerful drug dealer who operates from Venice Beach, he comes across an intriguing offshoot in which he becomes intimately involved. Aviation executive Alan Stanwyk (Tim Matheson) has an unusual proposition for Fletch: If Fletch agrees to an elaborate plan to kill him, for reasons Stanwyk refuses to divulge beyond explaining that he has bone cancer, Fletch will walk away with a healthy sum of money and a plane ticket to Brazil. Curious yet suspicious by profession, Fletch begins investigating Stanwyk's true motives, which leads him through numerous misadventures. Among them are a visit to a stuffy country club; a high-speed car chase with an unwitting passenger; repeat encounters with Stanwyk's wife (Dana Wheeler-Nicholson), although she may not be his only one; and a trip to Provo -- that's Utah, not Spain. Inspired by a novel of the same name by Gregory McDonald, Fletch went from thriller to comedy as it was adapted into a vehicle for Chase. ~ Derek Armstrong, Rovi

On her deathbed, mean-spirited millionairess Lily Tomlin has her will amended so that her soul will pass into the body of young, healthy Victoria Tennant. Thanks to a mix-up in transmutation, Tomlin winds up instead trapped in the body of upright (and uptight) attorney Steve Martin. The plot involves the fragility of male-female relationships, the importance of making commitments, and the antics of goofy guru Richard Libertini. As ridiculous as it sounds, All of Me is completely credible, thanks to Steve Martin's remarkable "body language" when conveying the notion that he's two different people with two different sets of emotions and gestures. Though the circumstances of the plot won't allow Martin to connect with the lovely Tennant, in real life things were different: the two costars were married shortly after filming wrapped. Phil Alden Robinson and Henry Olek adapted the script from Ed Davis' novel Me Too. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

I don't know if this is the right place to post this but here goes...
I'm trying to map the Right button on the Navigator so it toggles the Hotbox in maya. Same functionality you would get by pressing Spacebar.
1. I tried going through the custom button mapping MEL in maya, but cannot find the appropriate function to do this. There is a category for Hotbox on the left, but there are no listed functions when it's selected. I tried created a custom function calling "ShowHotbox" and that does it, but doesn't Toggle it, and just stays up. I don't know enough of MEL/Maya to know if there is a ToggleHotbox command that would do it (tried that one, not it).
2. I tried doing it from OSX system prefs. Went to Buttons, Custom Functions..., defined a simple function for Keystroke, Space, click Done, but There is no place that I can find that would let me assign my custom function to the R button. Loggically, it seems it should appear in the dropdown list for R, but it doesnt.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
Thanks much

Looking for a cell phone with the latest technology? Check out the Samsung Galaxy S Lightray 4G available with MetroPCS service. The new smartphone runs Android 2.3, sports a 1GHz processor, and a spacious and crisp 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus touchscreen. All of this will come in handy when using the Dyle mobile TV app that can be used to watch live TV found on your local TV stations. There's no need to worry about using 4G LTE data or finding a WiFi connection because the app actually provides mobile TV reception. The technology is fairly new so the service isnt available everywhere. When youre not watching TV on the phone, theres also a rear-facing 8-megapixel camera for capturing pictures or shooting HD video.
Do you want to watch live TV on your cell phone? Let us know in the comments below.

Today at the Windows Phone Summit being held in San Francisco, Microsoft showed off Windows Phone 8. There are quite a few enhancements that users can expect, but existing Windows Phone 7.5 users wont get is the ability to upgrade their phones to Windows Phone 8. Existing Windows Phone users will, however, get an update to 7.8, which will have the new Windows Phone 8 Start screen -- its a bit of a centerpiece of the upcoming Windows Phone 8.
The idea behind the new Start screen is that you can customize it anyway you want, changing tile sizes giving some activities more significance than others (watch the video below to see it in action). Other noteworthy features are the inclusion of Internet Explorer 10 (thats a full web browser, not a mobile version), the Wallet (manage payments, deals, and cards you might find in a wallet), and Nokias mapping software. We should also note that existing Windows Phone apps will work with the Windows Phone 8 platform.
We can expect to see Windows Phone 8 models from Nokia, HTC, Huawei, and Samsung. Some of the hardware features to expect include a multi-core processor (this will make the phone faster and more powerful), a slot for an external microSD storage card, NFC chip (Wallet apps and connecting with other Windows 8 devices), Nokia maps, and a WXGA display (1280 x768) thats HD.
Get a peak at the new Start screen in the Mircosoft video below.

Last month in London, Samsung unveiled the latest model in its Galaxy line of products. Today, word is out on when we can expect to see it in the states and which service providers will be offering it. All the major carriers will be offering the latest Android 4.0 smartphone. That includes T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, Sprint, and AT&T. Not all carriers are mentioning an availability date, but Sprint and T-Mobile say it will be available later this month.
The Galaxy S III will sport a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 2GB of internal RAM, and work on 4G networks so it should offer a speedy user experience. The phone will be a bit large with a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen display covered with Gorilla Glass 2.0 that will help protect the phone from the elements and accidents that can happen in everyday use. As expected, the phone will sport a 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera and an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera that can record 1080p HD video. It will include quite a few photo features such as Burst Shot for capturing three images in a row with no shutter lag time. The phone will be available in White or Blue with either 16GB or 32GB of internal memory, and it can accept a microSD card for more storage space.

Samsung announced the next generation of its popular GALAXY S line of products in London today. The idea behind its design is that this smartphone will get to know and ultimately understand you. At the heart of how you will interact with the phone is a natural language interface called S Voice. It can be used to tell the phone what to do - anything from play a favorite song, send messages, or take a picture with the camera. The feature will get so accustomed to you, that it will be able to recognize your voice and even your face. With a 4.8-inch display the phone is a bit smaller than the Galaxy Note.
There are also quite a few enhancements made in the camera such as a zero-lag shutter speed, a burst shot feature for capturing 20 shots in a row, and even a Best Photo option that can select the best picture out of eight photographs. Find a photo that you want to share with others feel free to share it using Buddy Photo Share. Want to share something larger? Then check out S Beam. Its like Android Beam, but will work with bigger files such as a 1GB movie file in three minutes or 10MB music file in just a few seconds. None of this requires using a WiFi or data connection.
Now for the tech specifics: The phone will sport a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED (bright, crisp, and viewable in bright sunlight), rear-facing 8-megapixel camera and front-facing 1.9-megapixel camera, built-in NFC Chip, and run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS. The phone will be able to playback full HD 1080p video. Plus the phone can be turned on its side for watching videos in 16:9 widescreen mode. There will be 16GB and 32GB configurations for onboard storage with a 64GB model available soon and it will support up to a 64GB microSD card. Thats plenty of storage for videos, photos, music, files, and more.
The phone will be available this summer and you can learn more about it by cheking out the The Next Galaxy.

While not quite as big as some Android phones currently available, it does sport a spacious 3.9-inch Super AMOLED display that is sharp, crisp, and viewable in direct sunlight.

As Sprint begins to expand to the 4G LTE network, the company announced the first three products that it would be offering with 4G LTE compatibility. First up, a mobile HotSpot device from Sierra Wireless called the Tri-Network HotSpot that will work on 3G, 4G and 4G LTE data networks. The HotSpot can be used with up to eight WiFi-enabled devices simultaneously and it evens features a microSD slot that can be used for network storage. The first areas to get Sprint 4G LTE service will be Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio.
The first two 4G LTE phones with Sprint service will be the popular Samsung Galaxy Nexus that runs the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS. Unlike the Verizon version of the phone, Sprints model will support Google Wallet. The other 4G LTE phone will be the eco-friendly LG Viper with a casing made of 35 percent recycled plastics. Feature-wise, the LG Viper 4G LTE will sport a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, a rear-facing 5-megapixel camera and front facing VGA camera, a 4-inch touchscreen display, and will run the Android 2.3 OS.
In other Sprint news, the company showed off the Samsung Epic 4G Touch in white (pictured below) and announced that the HTC View tablet would be receiving the Android Honeycomb OS.

Glutino Gluten Free Crackers Original -- 4.4 oz
Not bad
The cracker taste is not bad when you add a topping. Alone they can leave an after taste. Also they break easily.
March 25, 2013
Pretty good for a non gluten cracker. Good tasting,solid does not break. Just good.
March 6, 2013
I love these crackers!
People who have tried these crackers, who do not eat gluten free, love them too! They are very crisp and crunchy. We eat them with almond butter and cheese. One of our favorites!
February 14, 2013
not like the buttery goodness of a Ritz at all, but the best GF cracker I've eaten.
February 7, 2013
Two thumbs up from my GF son!
My son has been GF for 1 1/2 years, and we have tried many snack products to complement what his siblings are eating. These are the only type of GF crackers he likes. He would have given them 5 stars, but as the mom, I am disappointed that the crackers break so easily in the package. I know gluten is what keeps regular flour products stuck together, but it seems perhaps the company needs to add more of the GF binder to make the cracker heartier so it can stand up to spreading sunflower butter, etc.

The neutrality of this article is disputed. (February 2013) |
A refrigerant is a substance used in a heat cycle usually including, for enhanced efficiency, a reversible phase transition from a liquid to a gas. Traditionally, fluorocarbons, especially chlorofluorocarbons, were used as refrigerants, but they are being phased out because of their ozone depletion effects. Other common refrigerants used in various applications are ammonia, sulfur dioxide, and non-halogenated hydrocarbons such as propane.[1] Many refrigerants are important ozone depleting and global warming inducing compounds that are the focus of worldwide regulatory scrutiny.
Physical properties[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (December 2013) |
The ideal refrigerant has favorable thermodynamic properties, is noncorrosive to mechanical components, and is safe (including nontoxic, nonflammable, and environmentally benign). The desired thermodynamic properties are a boiling point somewhat below the target temperature, a high heat of vaporization, a moderate density in liquid form, a relatively high density in gaseous form, and a high critical temperature. Since boiling point and gas density are affected by pressure, refrigerants may be made more suitable for a particular application by choice of operating pressures.
Refrigerant environmental issues[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (December 2013) |
The inert nature of many Halons, Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) and Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC), with the benefits of them being nonflammable and nontoxic, made them good choices as refrigerants, but their stability in the atmosphere and their corresponding global warming potential and ozone depletion potential raised concerns about their usage. In order from the highest to the lowest potential of ozone depletion are Bromochlorofluorocarbon, CFC then HCFC. Though HFC and PFC are non-ozone depleting, many have global warming potentials that are thousands of times greater than CO2. Other refrigerants such as propane and ammonia are not inert, and are flammable or toxic if released.
New refrigerants and their regulation[edit]
New refrigerants have been developed that are safe to humans and to the environment, but their application has been held up by regulatory hurdles.[2]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (December 2013) |
Early mechanical refrigeration systems employed sulfur dioxide, methyl chloride and ammonia. Being toxic, sulfur dioxide and methyl chloride rapidly disappeared from the market with the introduction of CFCs.
Occasionally, one may encounter older machines with methyl formate, chloromethane, or dichloromethane (called carrene in the trade).
Until concerns about depletion of the ozone layer arose in the 1980s, the most widely used refrigerants were the halomethane chlorofluorocarbons.[citation needed]
Following legislative regulations on ozone depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), substances used as substitute refrigerants such as perfluorocarbons (FCs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) have also come under criticism. They are currently subject to prohibition discussions on account of their harmful effect on the climate. In 1997, FCs and HFCs were included in the Kyoto Protocol to the Framework Convention on Climate Change. In 2006, the EU adopted a Regulation on fluorinated greenhouse gases, which makes stipulations regarding the use of FCs and HFCs with the intention of reducing their emissions. The provisions do not affect climate-neutral refrigerants.
Ammonia (R717) has been used in industrial refrigeration plants for more than 130 years and is thought to be environment-friendly, economical, and energy-efficient. Carbon dioxide (R744) has a similarly long tradition in refrigeration technology.
Refrigerants such as ammonia, carbon dioxide and non-halogenated hydrocarbons preserve the ozone layer and have no (ammonia) or only a low (carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons) global warming potential.[citation needed] They are used in air-conditioning systems for buildings, in sport and leisure facilities, in the chemical/pharmaceutical industry, in the automotive industry and above all in the food industry (production, storage, retailing). New applications are opening up for non-halogenated refrigerants; for example, in vehicle air-conditioning.[citation needed]
Emissions from automotive air-conditioning are a growing concern because of their impact on climate change.[citation needed] From 2011 on, the European Union will phase out refrigerants with a global warming potential (GWP) of more than 150 in automotive air conditioning (GWP = 100 year warming potential of one kilogram of a gas relative to one kilogram of CO2).[citation needed] This will ban potent greenhouse gases such as the refrigerant HFC-134a—which has a GWP of 1410—to promote safe and energy-efficient refrigerants. One of the most promising alternatives is CO2 (R-744). Carbon dioxide is non-flammable, non-ozone depleting, has a global warming potential of 1, but is toxic and potentially lethal in concentrations above 5% by volume.[citation needed] R-744 can be used as a working fluid in climate control systems for cars, residential air conditioning, hot water pumps, commercial refrigeration, and vending machines.[citation needed] R12 is compatible with mineral oil, while R134a is compatible with synthetic oil that contains esters.[citation needed] GM has announced that it will start using "hydrofluoroolefin", HFO-1234yf, in all of its brands by 2013.[3] Dimethyl ether (DME) is also gaining popularity as a refrigerant,[4] but like propane, it is also dangerously flammable.
Some refrigerants are seeing rising use as recreational drugs, leading to an extremely dangerous phenomenon known as inhalant abuse.[5]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (December 2013) |
As of July 1, 1992 it is illegal in the United States to release refrigerants into the atmosphere (intentional or accidental). When refrigerants are removed they should be recycled to clean out any contaminants and return them to a usable condition. Refrigerants should never be mixed together outside of facilities licensed to do so for the purpose of producing blends. Some refrigerants must be managed as hazardous waste even if recycled, and special precautions are required for their transport, depending on the legislation of the country's government.
Refrigerants by class and by R-number[edit]
This section's factual accuracy is disputed. (May 2013) |
Refrigerants may be divided into three classes according to their manner of absorption or extraction of heat from the substances to be refrigerated:[citation needed]
- Class 1: This class includes refrigerants that cool by phase change (typically boiling), using the refrigerant's latent heat.
- Class 2: These refrigerants cool by temperature change or 'sensible heat', the quantity of heat being the specific heat capacity x the temperature change. They are air, calcium chloride brine, sodium chloride brine, alcohol, and similar nonfreezing solutions. The purpose of Class 2 refrigerants is to receive a reduction of temperature from Class 1 refrigerants and convey this lower temperature to the area to be air-conditioned.
- Class 3: This group consists of solutions that contain absorbed vapors of liquefiable agents or refrigerating media. These solutions function by nature of their ability to carry liquefiable vapors, which produce a cooling effect by the absorption of their heat of solution. They can also be classified into many categories.
The R-# numbering system was developed by DuPont corporation (which owns the Freon trademark) and systematically identifies the molecular structure of refrigerants made with a single halogenated hydrocarbon. The meaning of the codes is as follows:[citation needed]
- Subtracting 90 from the concatenated numbers of carbon, hydrogen and fluorine atoms, respectively gives the assigned R#.[6]
- Remaining bonds not accounted for are occupied by chlorine atoms.
- A suffix of a lower-case letter a, b, or c indicates increasingly unsymmetrical isomers.
- As a special case, the R-400 series is made up of zeotropic blends (those where the boiling point of constituent compounds differs enough to lead to changes in relative concentration because of fractional distillation) and the R-500 series is made up of so-called azeotropic blends. The rightmost digit is assigned arbitrarily by ASHRAE, an industry organization.
For example, R-134a has 2 carbon atoms, 2 hydrogen atoms, and 4 fluorine atoms, an empirical formula of tetrafluoroethane. The "a" suffix indicates that the isomer is unbalanced by one atom, giving 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane. R-134 (without the "a" suffix) would have a molecular structure of 1,1,2,2-Tetrafluoroethane—a compound not especially effective as a refrigerant.[citation needed]
The same numbers are used with an R- prefix for generic refrigerants, with a "Propellant" prefix (e.g., "Propellant 12") for the same chemical used as a propellant for an aerosol spray, and with trade names for the compounds, such as "Freon 12". Recently, a practice of using HFC- for hydrofluorocarbons, CFC- for chlorofluorocarbons, and HCFC- for hydrochlorofluorocarbons has arisen, because of the regulatory differences among these groups.[citation needed]
Notable blends[edit]
Below are some notable blended HFC mixtures. There exist many more (see list of refrigerants). All R-400 (R-4xx) and R-500 (R-5xx) hydroflurocarbons are blends, as noted above.
- R-401A is a HCFC zeotropic blend of R-22, R-152a, and R-124. It is designed as a replacement for R-12.[7]
- R-404A is a HFC "nearly azeotropic" blend of 52 wt.% R-143a, 44 wt.% R-125, and 4 wt.% R-134a. It is designed as a replacement of R-22 and R-502 CFC. Its boiling point at normal pressure is -46.5 °C, its liquid density is 0.485 g/cm3.[8]
- R-406A is a zeotropic blend of 55 wt.% R-22, 4 wt.% R-600a, and 41 wt.% R-142b.
- R-407A is a HFC zeotropic blend of 20 wt.% R-32, 40 wt.% R-125, and 40 wt.% R-134a.[9]
- R-407C is a zeotropic hydrofluorocarbon blend of R-32, R-125, and R-134a. The R-32 serves to provide the heat capacity, R-125 decreases flammability, R-134a reduces pressure.[10]
- R-408A is a zeotropic HCFC blend of R-22, R-125, and R-143a. It is a substitute for R-502. Its boiling point is -44.4 °C.[11]
- R-409A is a zeotropic HCFC blend of R-22, R-124, and R-142b. Its boiling point is -35.3 °C. Its critical temperatiure is 109.4 °C.[12]
- R-410A is a near-azeotropic blend of R-32 and R-125. The US Environmental Protection Agency recognizes it as an acceptable substitute for R-22 in household and light commercial air conditioning systems.[13] It appears to have gained widespread market acceptance under several trade names.[14]
- R-438A another HFC blended replacement for R-22, with five components: R-32, R-125/R-134a, R-600, and R-601a, blended in respective ratios 8.5+.5,-1.5%; 45±1.5%; 44.2±1.5%; 1.7+.1,-.2%; 0.6+.1,-.2%. The mean ''mo''lecular weight of this mix is 99, resulting in the tradename ISCEON MO99 from manufacturer DuPont (a line of blended HFC products developed initially by Rhodia, and sold to DuPont).[15][16]
- R-500 is an azeotropic blend of 73.8 wt.% R-12 and 26.2 wt.% of R-152a.
- R-502 is an azeotropic blend of R-22 and R-115.
Air as a refrigerant[edit]
"Air cycle is not a new technology. At the turn of the century air cycle or 'cold air machines' were available from companies such as J & E Hall... These were used on board ships and by food producers and retailers to provide cooling for their food stores."[17]
Air has been used for residential,[18] automobile,[17] and turbine-powered aircraft[19][20] air-conditioning and/or cooling. The reason why air is not more widely used as a general-purpose refrigerant is the perception that the use of air is too inefficient to be practical.[18]
Yet, with suitable compression and expansion technology, air can be a practical (albeit not the most efficient) refrigerant, free of the possibility of environmental contamination or damage,[18] and almost completely[21] harmless to plants and animals. An explosion could result from refrigerant type compressor lubricating oils being compressed together with the air.
Water or air as a refrigerant[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (December 2013) |
The simplest refrigerant is water. Non toxic, low cost, and widely available. The simplest cooling systems, known as swamp coolers in the south-west United States, do not even need power for a compressor, merely a blower fan - evaporated water is simply vented to the living space, where it serves to increase humidity also. However, drawbacks are multiple and severe as well. The total cooling power of the unit is limited by the fact that neither coolant nor air is recirculated. A swamp cooled home will have a constant supply of fresh, not too-dry air, but if the air outside is already humid, cooling power is severely limited. This is why such units are not found in areas of frequent and high humidity, such as the south-east United States. Furthermore, if the temperature outside is severely too hot, such as over 110 degrees F or 43 °C, the unit will not cool the air sufficiently for comfort even if the dew point outside is very low.

(565) Demographic changesHow many people live in Korea today? The question is not particularly difficult in our era of ever-present statistics. In 2010 the population of South Korea reached 50 million. The population of North Korea was 25.2 million at the time (when it comes to the population issue, even the notoriously secretive North Korean authorities demonstrate remarkable frankness). But how many lived on the Korean Peninsula in the past? This question is much more difficult to answer. In "Old Korea," the government conducted censuses, but their results were not particularly reliable, since in the past, a census was conducted with the sole purpose of locating and nailing down tax payers. Neither individuals nor communities were particularly enthusiastic about paying taxes, so they did what they could to avoid registration. Therefore, pre-modern census results showed the strength and efficiency of the government bureaucracy, rather than the actual size of the population. That said scholars have used other sources to compensate for the incomplete nature of official census results and have come out with some estimates of Korea's population size in the past. They believe that around 1,000 A.D., the population of Korea was in the region of 3 million people. By the 18th century it might have reached the 7-million mark (one 10th of what it is now). The first modern population census in Korean history was conducted by the Japanese colonial administration in 1910-11. According to its results, the population of Korea (obviously both North and South were included) was 13.1 million. However subsequent research has demonstrated that the population was seriously underreported in that first census. Most Koreans still assumed at the time that by being registered, they would attract the attention of tax collectors and they were even less willing to pay taxes to the emperor of Japan than they had been to pay taxes to the kings of Korea. Therefore modern scholars estimate that the actual population of Korea at the time was considerably higher ― in the region of 17 million. The following 35 years of colonial rule was a time of dramatic increase in population. It was largely driven by an equally dramatic drop in infant mortality. In the colonial era, the average Korean woman had six children, pretty much like the average Korean women of times before. But children stopped dying in large numbers soon after birth, due to the introduction of vaccination and some basic hygiene. As a result the average life expectancy increased from 25 years in 1910 to 44 years in 1945. So, on the eve of liberation, the population of Korea in 1945 was 25.9 million. In the following couple of years it jumped by a few million, since many ethnic Koreans came back from Japan and China, where they had moved in the 1930s and early 1940s. However, 1945 was not only the year of liberation, but also the year of division. At the time of division, the population ratio between North and South was 1:2. Interestingly, it has remained relatively stable in the 65 years that followed. Now, as in 1945, the population of the North is just below half that of the South. The first few decades after liberation were marked by continued growth in the population of both Koreas. The major driving force was the fertility rate, which remained very high until the early 1960s and then began to slide very quickly. In 1960, the total fertility rate (TFR) ― the number of births per woman, was at the 6.0 level. At that time, the Korean government began an aggressive "family planning" campaign. As a result the fertility rate was 4.5 by 1970, and by the early 1980s, it had dropped to the natural replacement level of 2.1. It did not stop at that level, though, and now the rate is one of the world's lowest. Throughout the last decade, it was fluctuating between 1.1 and 1.2, well below the replacement level. However this unprecedented decline did not lead to an immediate slowdown in population growth ― largely thanks to the continuous increase in life expectancy. Indeed the rate of increase in life expectancy in South Korea has been the fastest among all OECD countries. In 2010, the average Korean male would live 76 years, while the average female would live 83 years. So, the population grew. In 1970 the population reached 30.8 million, and nowadays it is 50 million (more than 51 million if foreigners are included). That said, the disastrously low birthrate of the present insures that we are living through the last years of population growth in South Korea. It is now expected that its population is to stabilize around 2030 and then start to decline slowly and then quickly. This might be a problem indeed, but one should remember that merely three centuries ago the population 10 times smaller. Professor Andrei Lankov was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, and now teaches at Kookmin University in Seoul. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. |

Hey,what if some guy from Harmonix said, "Maybye we should make a second Beatles Rock Band ,since there are so many Beatles fans out there''.And they do there video game heebie jeebies
Hey,what if some guy from Harmonix said, "Maybye we should make a second Beatles Rock Band ,since there are so many Beatles fans out there''.And they do there video game heebie jeebies
Here is A link to A twitter post from HMXHenry about it, that does I believe back up my statement.
So, "No news at the moment, still not expecting any band specific RB titles in the near future.
4:38 p.m. Wed, Jun 15"
This verifies that there will never be a Beatles' RockBand 2? Is that really the best that you can do? What year was this smoking gun quote made? It obviously wasn't 2013, which was the year stamped to the hmxhenry quote I used to prove that Harmonix is still open to "band specific RB titles" if "the right opportunity" presented itself by "the right band". Even if that quote was from 2012, you don't think that March 2013 is well past what he was referring to as "the near future"?
Your attempt to pour cold water on a prospective future Beatles' title as some sort of "reality dose" is every bit a fairy-tale as the many posters' ideas expressed to support it, until an absolute announcement debunking the idea from qualified personnel comes along, your claims to glimpsing into the future are just as cloudy as those who are encouraged by what they think may still happen, and that's a possible 'Beatles RockBand 2', so get used to hearing about it, STILL...:-)
That quote that you're latching onto so intently is about DLC, specifically. Not new games. That quote was HMXHenry saying that while they have nothing planned for DLC, they are open to the idea of new DLC in the future.
They also have oficially stated that they are not working on any new Rock Band titles, and have no current plans to. I don't have a link, but that has been stated numerous times.
Finally, as someone else said, they're never going to say it won't happen, but a full stand alone game devoted to one band, especially one that would need as much attention as the Beatles, would be very costly and time consuming. Add to that the fact that, if any possible sequel were next gen, the DLC would potentially not be able to carry over, and you have a situation that's really not worth it.
Also, I found it amusing that you think DLC added to the oversaturation issue. It was the literal games flooding the market, not the DLC for them. Had Guitar Hero stuck to a similar business model as Rock Band, the market may not have taken the downward turn that it did.
My Youtube channel, which has some RB vids: https://www.youtube.com/user/FaceEmoteInc?feature=g-subs-u
@Arkham I have to give you credit for latching on so passionately to this prospect, but your entire point essentially boils down to "you can't prove that they won't make it", which in itself is not a very strong argument for reasons that shouldn't need to be stated.
But whatever, you can believe what you wish, I just personally wouldn't get my hopes up.
Also, your passive-aggressive smiley faces are starting to bother me...
How strange it is to be anything at all.
Not at all, there's many reasons to believe that the concept has merit and is more than simply "wishful thinking"
The demand for more Beatles in ANY format is ALWAYS there, this FACT is indisputable, especially when Harmonix literally only scratched the surface of their extensive catalogue first time around. The prospect possesses an annomolous demographic that spans young children to the elderly which is all too rare amongst music lovers and business ventures today.
The first game was such an overwhelming artistic success that artists such as U2 and their Management publicly applauded the work and expressed interest in pursuing a game themselves, contrary to their previous stance of dismissing the video game format as "cheap" or "selling out". I too, used to share this same sentiment, and without 'The Beatles RockBand' would've never spent a penny on any of their other games but now I own all of them.
The surviving members of The Beatles and their Estate are dedicated and much devoted to preserving the music and legacy of The Beatles for the Next Generation (pun intended), and it's no secret that an upswing in video game sales is imminent when the new consoles hit the market soon. All of them (including Yoko Ono) have proven many times over that they possess strong and keen business sense, if there's to be any resurgence in music video games, you can be assured that they'll be at the forefront of any discussion, as they have been whenever a new music innovation arises.
The obvious downturn in market trends, due to oversaturation, also present new opportunities for a dedicated talented group such as Harmonix. They were able to secure the hefty licensing fee once all ready and now have a rare working relationship with the Fab Four to explore further, with prior hard sales data that they didn't have before, projecting the very likely successful outcome for another future project.
The "wild card", if you like, is that SONY now owns Micheal Jackson's former majority holdings of Lennon/McCartney's songbook, but The Beatles still have control over how their music is used. This new reality could make dealings with Microsoft more complicated, but relations between the two competitors have improved considerably over the past year. Microsoft recently allowed an enormously successful former XBOX/PC exclusive in 'MASS Effect' to become PS3 playable as of December 2012, which was thought to be more of an impossibility than a 'Beatles RockBand 2' just a few months earlier, so there's no reason why a band like The Beatles wouldn't inspire SONY to move a mountain of their own as well.
Harmonix is likely looking back on their work over the years before proceeding forward, and one project stands above all the others as an artistic and commercial success with longevity, and that's The Beatles...:-)
Not expecting another Beatles game isn't closed-minded, it's realistic. Getting your hopes up for something they flat-out said they're not making (it was mentioned in the FAQ when they announced the end of DLC that none of their upcoming projects will involve plastic instruments) will only lead to disappointment.
The new Kinect for the 360 (or uh, 720?) is said to be able to read lips, you're gonna completely dismiss the prospect of Harmonix exploring a RockBand Kinect project? Certainly would widen the profit margin if they didn't have to manufacture plastic instruments, wouldn't it?...:-)
I think it will take A HMX developer saying it to end this (if that even does).
I'd like to point out that I wasn't saying it can't or would never happen, but I agree with pretty much everyone but Arkham, that it is highly unlikely.

cameraPros: cheap price but no support Cons: Call to MFG got no respond for the warranty, and also try live chat couple time still no respond Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Cheap, easy to install, solid well-built cameras. Happy with purchase. Just ordered another for a friend. Cons: Cords are somewhat thin as people have said but not really a con as no one wants thick cords you cannot hide. They are a bit fragile, but not the weakest I have seen. Other Thoughts: Some reviewers complained of the color or the angle. I get perfect colors on mine, and more than passable night vision, as well as a wider angle than I imagined. DVR box has a very straightforward but highly customizable interface. It is much more advanced than expected. This "no HDD" model is perfect for a techie like myself who has spare drives laying around. I haven't gotten around to clearing one off yet but the hookups are as easy as can be- it has it's own little SATA cable and power connector inside the DVR box! (You don't see this in the preview pictures) The DVR menu screen has all the functions you need to format and prep the drive. Did you find this review helpful? |
UghhhhPros: Works good just as a dvr. Cons: instructions are horrible. Have to go on there website still bad. Do everything it tells you to connect to internet. Nothing i know i did port fowarding right did it 5 times. Customer service is never around. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great ValuePros: For the price any of these Zmodo's are hard to beat. The 50 ft cables the video cameras came with are a lot longer than I realized and I was happy to be able to wire them all up as I wanted without having to get any more cable. Cons: The infrared "night vision" only works a few feet out.. Which is pretty typical for all infrared and cameras of this sort, its a lot better in doors though. I wouldn't count this as too big of con, just be aware it wont do all that much.. Other Thoughts: Setting this up wasn't the easiest. If you have a computer with Internet Explorer 8 it's MUCH easier, but the required addin will not install on IE9 no matter how you set your internet settings/security! Also I wasn't able to get it setup to view from my phone directly; what I ended up doing was getting the LogMeIn app for iphone/droid and then I would just remote into the computer that had the network connection directly to the DVR, so I could still view the video feed from any computer OR smart phone but it was a little more round about.. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Horrible Cust. Serv. from ZmodoPros: the software "seems" nice but I cant tell as I cant get the system working without all the parts Cons: From what I can tell so far, Zmodo has NO customer service - NONE!!; the "Live chat" is bogus, tells you a few people are ahead of you, and then after a wiating period kicks you off and says it is not available, ... So, I called in instead. Again, I was advised that two people were ahead of me, and after waiting for 45 minutes, I decided to leave a message - no one has returned the call. Further, the reason for the CS call was that the package did not include all the parts it was supposed to!! 3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
4 Channel ZmodoPros: Easy setup for just basic surveillance. The web stuff was a little challenging for me and I'm an IT guy. The OS is linux, and it has alot of useful menu tools. It's Very reliable doesn't hang. Alot of bang for the buck surprisingly Cons: Customer support is poor. I called the 800 number just to ask a question and got prompted for my Amex card number. That was a turn off. It doesn't work with Safari. I couldn't get the output to remain in quad view. I couldn't get app to run from my iPhone. DynDNS is not free as they listed in the instructions, they want your credit and to charge it, then they said I you cancel it in 14 days it's free. It seems there should be a work around available regarding these issues. These are issues that keeps this good product from being Stellar. Sad but true. Forgot to mention, it comes with this miniature CD rom that can't be inserted in a DVD player. I had to mount it from an older PC and share it inorder to install it on my newer PC. I knew how to do it. Not everyone does. They could have just sent a regular size CD. How much did they save. Really!! Who cheap penny pinching idea was that. Serve me a Filet Mignon on a garbage lid for the same effect the next time I go out to a steakhouse. Other Thoughts: If they could have resolved just the little issues. This would be a house-hold product for all. But I would only recommend it to the IT savvy and Handy guys, unless you got a lot of time on your hands and just want to play and learn, through trial and error. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Don't botherPros: No pros Cons: Zmodo staff, 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Good Unit - Poor AC AdapterPros: cost - bought beneath $100 (all its worth) Cons: The AC adapter that ships with this unit for the 4 camera's is garbage and has died on me twice. The first time I returned the entire thing, the second one lasted a few weeks. It appears the amps are too low, bought a 12v/3amp as opposed to the stock 1.5 amp split 4 ways. Other Thoughts: All and all scored a good deal when it was on sale plus I had a promo code - and I had an extra HD to put in here anyway. I'll give it three stars for the price, otherwise a solid two. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
great shipping neweggPros: cameras have good visibility dvr has some nice advanced features cable lengths are good I am HAPPY Cons: dvr menu takes some time to adjust all the settings correctly Other Thoughts: really good product at a great price point 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Good as-isPros: Easy setup out of the box if no custom parameters are required. Fast and easy plug-n-play. Cons: no factory re-set defaults Other Thoughts: I needed a way to view my front door at my house. Figured I could also monitor my driveway and fence line with the added channels. Instructions are barely provided. However, I hooked up the wires, plugged it in, turned it on, and was able to view on my TV what the cameras were pointed at. Installed a HDD in about two minutes. Downloaded the APP for my phone, and once I found a camera setting that worked, duplicated that install for each channel. DONE. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Drug takeback on Sept. 29
RUMFORD -- Officers from the Rumford Police Department will set up at the Rumford Police Department to receive unused, unwanted or expired prescription drugs for safe disposal, no questions asked, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29.
If you are not able to bring your prescriptions to turn in at that time we will be able to take them at the Rumford Police Department on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. by placing them into the drug take back container that is set up just outside the police dispatch window.
The Rumford Police Dept is partnering with DEA in this nationwide initiative to properly dispose of these unwanted prescriptions in an attempt to reduce the risk of accidental overdose by small children or others who mistook them for other medications.
Recent studies by the Environmental Protection Agency and others detected pharmaceutical drugs in varying concentrations in our nation's water supplies, therefore they should not be flushed down the toilet. Only drugs that are so potentially dangerous to people rather than the environment should be flushed. Such drugs will say on their labels if they are flushable.
Prescription medications, including those that contain controlled substances, are prescribed to specific people by their doctors. A drug can be helpful to someone with a particular sickness but harmful to others. One drug may interact with another that someone is taking in a way that can seriously harm or kill them. It is also illegal to give a controlled substance to someone else. However, it is legal for you to give your unwanted medications to law enforcement.
The DEA is particularly interested in medications containing controlled substances, but we will accept any medicines brought for disposal. Needles will not be accepted.
They will ask no questions about what you bring for disposal. If you want to protect your privacy, you can empty your bottles (except for liquids) into the bin and take the bottles home with you or you can black out with a marker your personal information on the bottles. We will not be looking at or gathering any personal information.
The medication will be turned over to DEA to be incinerated according to federal and state environmental guidelines. For more information, you can go to DEA.gov.

College Basketball Betting Ducks, Bruins Prepare For Pac-12 Shootout
Step away from that soccer blog for a minute because its time to start thinking about your college hoops picks for the upcoming weekend. There is an interesting matchup brewing out west in the Pac-12, where Oregon will host UCLA, who will be wrapping up a three-game stretch on the road.
UCLA Oregon Odds Saturday, 4:00 PM ET
The Bruins (10-7, 3-2 Pac-12 as of Thursday) still have to play at Oregon State on Thursday night, and they opened their road stretch with a 66-47 romp at rival USC, and a Bodog review of this game would point towards a strong first half for UCLA as they were up 37-19 by halftime. Travis Wear led the way with 19 points and eight boards, while Lazeric Jones was next with 15 points for the Bruins, who thoroughly dominated the Trojans on the boards with a 39-17 edge. UCLA lost the turnover battle (which is something that Super Bowl betting players will look at as well) 14-6, but when you shoot 51% from the field and rebound the way that the Bruins did in Los Angeles, you minimize the damage done by the turnovers.
The Ducks (13-5, 4-2 Pac-12 as of Thursday) will also be in action Thursday night as they welcome the Trojans to Eugene, which means they could be on a three-game winning streak when UCLA comes to town. Oregon jumped out to a 12-point halftime lead and then had to scrap to hold on for a 59-57 win at Arizona, led by 13 points and four boards off the bench from Olu Ashaolu, while Devoe Joseph also scored 13 points for the Ducks, who hit five of their 10 free-throw attempts, but Arizona hit just 12 of their 20 trips to the foul line. Experienced players that work with price per head systems know that free-throw shooting is a major factor in the college game as teams are seemingly getting worse, and the Ducks were fortunate that the Wildcats didnt take their chances.
Oregon should be the sports betting favorites at home in this crucial Pac-12 contest, even though theyre 2-3 SU and 3-2 ATS in their last five in Eugene against the Bruins, with two games going over the posted total (along with a push). Both teams will be playing on two days rest, but the Ducks have the edge as theyll be at home, while the Bruins have some travelling to do after their Thursday night clash at Oregon State. There isnt a lot between these two teams, although UCLA has an edge in rebounding, but the Ducks will counter that with crowd support, riding their fans to a close college basketball betting victory.
