2 Meetup Groups match "Plant and Seed Trading" near Seattle, WA
Let's get together and teach each other to grow our own vegi's, plant fruit trees, raise chickens, make beer, make biodiesel, retrofit our houses for alternative energy. Or we can just swap seeds and can our extra tomatoes. You can do it because you love to garden, or because you want to survive the zombie apocalypse. Either way, if you're making your city home a little more self sufficient, then this group's for you.
Meetup details are available only to members.
The vision is simple. Promote beauty, sustainability, and community within Seattle gardens and among their gardeners by trading plants, seeds, bulbs, etc. - instead of throwing them in the compost pile. Join this group to make the vision a reality!

The heavy decorative kitchen items on shelves overhead of the seating area were a bit off-putting since we live in earthquake country, but a bike helmet would probably do. Bring one for Grandma. Food was "good", but not enough to incline me to return, salmon was served... More

Conservatively Speaking
State Senator Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) represents parts of four counties: Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and Walworth. Her Senate District 28 includes New Berlin, Franklin, Greendale, Hales Corners, Muskego, Waterford, Big Bend, the town of Vernon and parts of Greenfield, East Troy, and Mukwonago. Senator Lazich has been in the Legislature for more than a decade. She considers herself a tireless crusader for lower taxes, reduced spending and smaller government.
Senator Lazich's Statement Applauding State Senate's Approval of $100 Million Property Tax Relief
Senator Mary Lazich released the following statement applauding the Wisconsin State Senate's approval of $100 million in property tax relief during a Special Session.
"This is Government functioning at its best, to benefit taxpayers" said Senator Lazich. "Today we affirm commitment to Wisconsin's hard working taxpayers. Over the last two years we made tough decisions and enacted bold reforms to provide Wisconsinites with fiscal security. Today our reforms and decisions continue to benefit hardworking taxpayers, families, and businesses."
The $100 million property tax relief will be delivered through the state's equalization aid formula. Property tax relief will be $40 million this year, and an additional $60 million next year. Since the legislature is fast tracking the legislation, taxpayers will see relief on this year's property tax bill.

Way in the back of your throat are your tonsils — one on the right and one on the left. They are part of your body's infection-fighting system to keep you from getting sick.
But what happens if these infection fighters get infected? Then you have tonsillitis (say: tahn-suh-LYE-tus).
The tonsils' job is to help fight germs that come in through our mouth or nose before they cause infections in the rest of the body. Usually, tonsils do their job well. But sometimes bacteria or viruses get into the tonsils and infect them. When this happens, you have tonsillitis.
If you have tonsillitis, your throat usually hurts and it's hard to eat or drink or even swallow. You also might have a fever. Here are some other signs that bacteria or a virus are infecting your tonsils:
The doctor will ask you how you've been feeling and then look at your tonsils. He or she will probably use a wooden stick called a tongue depressor to help hold your tongue down to get a good look at what's going on in there.
The doctor also might look into your nose and ears, listen to your chest, feel your neck, and look for other signs of infection. Bacteria and viruses both can cause tonsillitis. It's important for your doctor to know if it's strep. Strep is short for streptococci (say: strep-toh-KAH-kye) bacteria. If you have this kind of infection, you need medicine, called an antibiotic, to kill the strep bacteria.
To check for strep, the doctor will use a long cotton swab to swipe the back of your throat. This test, called a throat culture, doesn't hurt, but it might make you gag. It usually takes 1-2 days to get the results, but some doctors will do a similar test called a rapid strep test. Within minutes, this test will tell your doctor if there are any strep bacteria in your throat.
If the tonsillitis is caused by strep bacteria, the doctor will prescribe antibiotics, a type of medicine that kills bacteria. It's very important to take the antibiotics exactly as you're supposed to and finish the entire prescription to kill all the bacteria.
If the tonsillitis is caused by a virus, antibiotics won't work and your body will fight off the infection on its own. Sometimes kids get an operation to remove their tonsils, but only if their tonsils get infected a lot during the year or are so big they make it hard for the kid to breathe at night.
If you get tonsillitis, here are some tips that can help you feel better:
Soon your tonsils will be back in action and ready to fight germs again!

Product 466/487
Torn from home and family, beautiful, gentle Indian woman Winsome is plunged into the wild, and sometimes brutal, Viking life.
Brand Bjornson's single-minded pursuit of Viking justice is interrupted when he captures a lovely Indian woman who rejects his advances and insists on her right to give herself only to the man she marries.
His sense of honor heightened, can Brand find a way to pursue justice and still keep the one woman he desires?
Winsome cradled his head as he placed warm, loving kisses wherever he wanted. She felt she would faint from the wonderful feelings.
All too soon he lifted his head and looked at her. "Let us take off this dress," he whispered huskily.
She struggled feebly in his arms and sat up, her arms across her breasts. "No," she moaned, "you are not my husband."
"What has that got to do with it?" He felt bewildered, frustrated and angry. "We do not need to be married to make love."
"But we do," she said. "My mother always taught me that. 'Tis the Beothuk way."
"The Beothuk way! Whoever heard of them? 'Tis the Viking way that matters! It matters not what the Beothuk ways are. You have left them behind you. You are with me now!"
"Ja," said Winsome calmly, keeping her arms crossed. "I am with you, but I had no choice!" She glowered at him. "You stole me away!"

A look at Down East forty-eight years ago.
Letters to the Editor
On page 30 under "Cows and Kilowatts" (Down East, July 1964 ), the picture of a cowhand being kicked by a cow kicking backward is not right. Cows kick forward only, as I remember, but an ox will kick backward, as I have been kicked by one.

A Breath of Maine: Robert Peter Tristram Coffin
Everything about him was big, even his name, Robert Peter Tristram Coffin. And he loved to boast that he came from Maine. "If a giant steamroller pressed my state of Maine out flat," he said, "it would cover the New England states like a pancake." Maine may have produced more illustrious sons and daughters, but none of them could have loved her more than this eminent poet and author.
It Happened Down East: Reader submitted anecdotes
When automobiles first appeared on Water Street in Augusta, George Wadleigh sold his driving horse and rig to his business partner Harry Lee, warning him, "The horse cribs a little, but it don't amount to anything." George then used the money to buy a seven-seater Packard car, and drove it into the city. When coming out of their store, George found a gaping hole in the top of his car, through which Harry's horse was gnawing hungrily at the varnished oak struts. Harry said comfortingly, "Aw, George, you told me yourself he just cribs a little and it don't amount to anything!"

Broad: There's no 'I' in England
9:08am Thursday 9th August 2012 in National Sport News © Press Association 2013
Stuart Broad admits any dressing room disharmony will damage England's hopes of winning the third Investec Test with South Africa at Lord's next week.
Broad was speaking in the aftermath of Kevin Pietersen's post-second Test press conference when he claimed there were dressing room issues which needed to be resolved. Nottinghamshire paceman Broad insists the team environment is fine but stressed the need for any potential problems to be resolved before the next meeting with the Proteas.
He told Sky Sports News: "What is vital is that we turn up to Lord's with all 11 players making sure England win that Test and that all our energies and focus is going towards that. "If you just have one player slightly off, it can be quite damaging."
Broad added: "It is important that once we get to Lord's as a group, whoever is there, we make sure we are fully there mentally and win that game. But if there is a problem, it is important it gets sorted and we take the field at Lord's with 11 guys who want to win for England.
"What is important, is everyone in that changing room is singing from the same hymn sheet and we are there to win for England."
Pietersen also hinted at feeling isolated in the dressing room but Broad is adamant it is harmonious place.
He said: "From that press conference, you could be led to think that (feeling isolated) but in the changing room it is an amazing place.
"We spend virtually every day together, it is thoroughly enjoyable, we have a laugh. There is not a better working environment to go into.
"You get out of bed to go and play with your mates for your country. It is one of the biggest honours you could ever have and within that changing room everyone values that."
England need to win that encounter to draw the series and retain their number one Test status in the ICC rankings.

By John Ramsey Staff writer
Cape Fear Valley Medical Center plans to reduce its public entrances from 35 to eight and require all visitors to get ID badges starting Jan. 1 as part of an effort to improve security.
A spokesman said the hospital has been developing enhancements to security for some time, and the move is not related to a specific threat. Other hospitals already use similar systems to track who is in the hospital at all times, he said.
In an unrelated decision, the hospital Friday announced limitations on visitors because of a high number of flu cases. Children younger than 12 are not allowed to visit, and emergency room patients are allowed only one visitor. The emergency department diagnosed 323 flu cases from Sunday through Thursday.
The hospital's new security measures will require visitors to first stop at the security desk, where either a photo ID will be scanned or their picture taken. The picture will be on the front of a temporary badge, which will be good for 12 or 24 hours. The badges are "self-expiring," which means the word "void" in red letters will appear automatically after a certain time.
The hospital's Children's Center and Family-Centered Care facility will have a second security desk to screen visitors.
About 3,500 people enter the hospital every day. Spokesman Vince Benbenek said the security system is not meant to be invasive and that he hopes it won't deter people from visiting patients as often as they want. He compared it to people having to clear security before boarding a plane.
"We don't run a prison here," Benbenek said. "We want the community to come freely to see their loved ones, but we also want them to feel safe while we're here."
Benbenek said the system has been in the works for a long time and that no single incident prompted the changes.
Police have responded to 51 nontraffic calls at the hospital's Owen Drive address this year, or about once a week, according to Fayetteville Police Department online records. Those calls include reports from the hospital's parking lots. Benbenek said he was not aware of that data but said the new measures ought to reduce the number of calls.
The hospital will issue longer-term ID badges for people who have a reason to visit the hospital frequently, such as cancer patients or family members of patients in intensive care.
"This should be relatively painless," Benbenek said. "It helps our employees, it helps our visitors and it helps our patients."
The 323 flu cases this week were a jump from the end of November, when the emergency department diagnosed 15 patients with flu.
The hospital is asking anyone with flu-like symptoms not to visit friends or family who are patients. People with symptoms should remain home and call their primary care physicians for treatment guidance, the hospital said.
On Thursday, Southeastern Regional Medical Center in Lumberton and FirstHealth's Moore Regional Hospital in Pinehurst announced similar restrictions.
At Southeastern, no one under 18 is allowed in patient-care areas or beyond the first floor, and only two immediate relatives are allowed per visit except in the emergency department, where the limit is one.
At FirstHealth Moore Regional, visitors must be 12 or older and may visit only immediate family.

A fire had broken out on board the plane his wife was travelling on, and he mused that she would have coped better with a bit of fresh air. "When you have a fire in an aircraft, there's no place to go," he said. "You can't find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don't open. I don't know why they don't do that. It's a real problem."

Bloomberg mistakenly publishes Steve Jobs obituary
An electronic gaffe at news outlet Bloomberg mistakenly sent an incomplete obituary for Apple CEO Steve Jobs over the wire on Wednesday afternoon, and a tipster promptly sent the soon-retracted file to gossip blog Gawker.
The lengthy file contains not only a preliminary obituary for the iconic Apple chief, but also a list of suggested contacts for a more extensive story--Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, and early Apple evangelist Guy Kawasaki, among others.
The summary of Jobs' accomplishments, per the obituary, is that he "helped make personal computers as easy to use as telephones, changed the … Read more

zoe | juniper | Dance preview
Seattle-based choreographer Zoe Scofield talks fantasy and her "little black book."
When I tell Zoe Scofield that Chicago's been suffering subzero wind chills, she cries, "Shut up! Are you serious?! What do people do when it's that cold?"
The Georgia-born choreographer, one half of zoe|juniper, isn't accustomed to arctic temperatures, save for a brief stint in Toronto. At that time, weather proved the least of her concerns. It was after 9/11 and nearly impossible to live without a proper visa. "Really ridiculous," she says. That, coupled with health-related issues, sidelined her dance career.
Scofield eventually moved to Seattle, struggling to land a job. A classical dancer, the 34-year-old graduate of Massachusetts's Walnut Hill School for the Arts says, "The aesthetic happening [in Seattle] wasn't what I was trained in or interested in."
Enter her husband, Juniper Shuey, the other half of zoe|juniper. "Juniper was like, 'What are you doing? Just start making your own work,' " she says. In 2005, Scofield applied for the Northwest New Works Festival with a specific idea in mind. Shuey, 38, a visual designer and media artist, suggested using video for added dimension. A working relationship ensued, Scofield crafting the movement, Shuey the design.
"It's funny because it's never something we've both consciously sat down and thought, Okay, how are we going to work together because you're from the visual art world and I'm from the dance world?" she says. "This is just what we do."
As zoe|juniper, the couple, who met on the night of the 2003 Northeast blackout, have developed a dark, rich world of physical movement and nebulous visuals. Their most recent collaboration debuted in 2011 at the renowned Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, followed by a stint at the New York Live Arts center last April.
In A Crack in Everything, the evening-length piece they bring to the Dance Center Thursday 14 through Saturday 16, the dancers don elaborate makeup and chic costumes—works of art in themselves. Using themes from the Greek tragedy The Oresteia, A Crack in Everything looks at the "emotional spectrum between the justice we crave and the blood lust of revenge," according to a program note.
Does her fraught work have anything to do with Scofield's reported health issues, specifically her past struggles with alcohol and anorexia? She hesitates before answering. "I think I had a naïveté of mentioning shit like that to the press and forgetting that stuff doesn't disappear," she says. "Nothing I do is in such a one-to-one ratio. However, yeah, of course it is. We're all a collection of our experience. Everybody knows what it's like to be fucked up or in a bad place or unable to stop something that's not working."
Scofield is more inclined to see her choreography in terms of her childhood. She mentions a story her parents like to tell: As a little girl, before she learned to write, Scofield would sit and scribble in a black diary for hours. "Pages and pages," she says. "To me, it was like a book. I'd go and read it to my parents and tell them this very long, elaborate tale. I lived in that fantasy realm."
In her work, she still does.
"By [art] not being didactic and by it not being quantifiable, then people are able to have more of their own experience inside of it," she says. "Maybe my desire to live in that fantasy world is that understanding of that, or that I feel more real and alive."
zoe|juniper's A Crack in Everything plays the Dance Center Thursday 14–Saturday 16.

Chinese Stir-fried Prawns with Purple Sprouting Broccoli and Cashews
Purple sprouting broccoli, like runner beans, is such a joy to eat just as it is, so it's good to make the most of its short season in the garden by serving it often. I like it simply steamed and tossed with just a trace of butter. For a change, I sometimes process it so that, being chopped small, it only needs very brief cooking. It also responds really well to stir-frying, and in this Chinese-inspired recipe it is perfect – slightly crunchy and toasted at the edges.

You will also need a frying pan with a diameter of 10 in (25 cm), or a wok with a lid. |
This recipe first appeared in Sainsbury's Magazine.
Begin by placing the cornflour and cayenne in a bowl. Mix well, then toss the prawns into the bowl and mix well again, using your hands, until all the prawns are well coated. Now sprinkle in the soy sauce and mix once again until they've all been coated with that, too. Then cover the bowl and leave in a cool place for about 30 minutes.
Next, heat about a tablespoon of the groundnut oil (or other flavourless oil) in the pan or wok over a high heat. When it's really hot, add the cashews and stir-fry for 30 seconds or until golden, then remove them to a plate. Now add the prawns and stir-fry for about 2 minutes, keeping them on the move and tossing them about all the time, until they turn pink. Then remove them to the plate, too, and keep warm.
Next, add the remaining oil to the pan, along with the garlic and ginger. Let it cook for 30 seconds, then add the broccoli, mushrooms and 1/2 level teaspoon of salt. Stir-fry these over a high heat, again tossing them all around, for about a minute.
Now return the prawns and nuts to the pan, turn the heat down to medium, add the rice wine and 2 tablespoons of water and sprinkle in half of the spring onion shreds. Then put a lid on the pan and cook for a further minute. Serve absolutely straight away, with the rest of the spring onion sprinkled over. Plain boiled rice would be a good accompaniment.

Helping Packaging Stand Up to Sterilization
Considering sterilization during product and package design may save you money, time, and trouble.
by Christina Elston
Packaging must be able to withstand the pressure changes typical with EtO processing. Photo courtesy Sterigenics. |
In the old days, there was steam, perfect for sterilizing glass syringes, metal instrument trays, and other older-technology medical products. But put many current products in an autoclave, and they're likely to melt—right along with their packages. Today in the United States, approximately 95% of healthcare devices sterilized in an industrial setting use either ethylene oxide (EtO) or radiation sterilization methods, reports Clark Houghtling, corporate account manager and senior EtO technical specialist at Steris Isomedix Services (Mentor, OH).
But though these sterilization methods are unlikely to melt a package outright, they may still stress packaging in various ways. Niki Fidopiastis, director, sterilization consulting services, with the SteriPro division of Sterigenics International (Oak Brook, IL), states that among the primary factors to be considered when selecting packaging materials are "the resilience of the packaging material during the intended sterilization process and facilitating that sterilization process with the selected materials."
With one of the most popular methods, EtO sterilization, the biggest stress is on package seals. "Since industrial EtO sterilization is most often performed at subatmospheric pressures and involves numerous pressure changes, packaging must be able to withstand both the vacuum levels and the rate of changes in pressure that occur during the process," says Houghtling.
In addition, users must consider the effects that pressure as well as heat and moisture have on the package. "EtO processing induces a strong oxidation of the surface of the material being processed," says Fidopiastis. "In most EtO processing, heat and moisture must be considered with respect to the oxidation of packaging materials. Additionally, pressure gradients must also be considered for the functionality of the product, like prefilled syringes."
But Jason Voisinet, senior project coordinator at Ethox International Inc. (Buffalo, NY), says careful planning can even things out. "The impact on packaging can be overcome by reducing the rate of pressure change during the phases of the cycle," he explains.
However, techniques employed to decrease turnaround time, known at Steris Isomedix Services as EO-Express and at Sterigenics as CycleOne, may increase stress on the package. In these processes, preconditioning, sterilization, and aeration are all performed in the sterilization chamber, rather than as separate processes. "With this all-in-one process, there are often more pressure changes throughout the cycle, and in some cases, higher levels of relative humidity, as compared to the conventional three-phase process," Houghtling says. "These factors must be taken into account and be made part of process development and/or validation."
Gamma radiation
With irradiation, the most popular being gamma, the impact is on the packaging material itself. But a wider range of compatible materials is available. "Even polypropylene films can be made more radiation compatible by axial orientation," explains Karl Hemmerich, plant manager, Steris Isomedix Services.
Irradiation can accelerate the aging of packaging, sometimes causing cross-linking or other molecular-level changes of the material. In some radiation processing, the susceptibility of the material to heat must also be considered, says Fidopiastis. Also, when an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) product is used, "interaction between the packaging material and the API must also be considered—specifically the potential of leachable byproducts of the packaging induced by the ionization of the packaging material and the effect of these byproducts on the API," she adds. "Processes like our ExCell method can deliver precise dosage using automated conveyance, material handling, and process-control systems, with negligible impact on approved packaging choices."
One of the benefits of radiation sterilization is that it is compatible with nonbreathable packaging. "This allows for both a wider selection of materials of choice for the package," says Houghtling, "and with that, the selection in some cases of less-expensive packaging materials." In addition, radiation can be used where EtO cannot—for products requiring a gas-impermeable package, such as bioabsorbable products, Houghtling says.
In addition, Hemmerich contends that radiation processes tend to be gentler than other methods and that a nonbreathable package may enhance sterility maintenance. "If I were to design the most robust package from an environmental incursion perspective, it would be radiation compatible," he says.
A radiation process that can be even gentler on packaging is electron-beam sterilization. Though gamma irradiation can penetrate greater densities, e-beam has a shorter turnaround time and may produce less degradation in both packaging and products, says Glenn M. Thibault, EVP and COO of Beam One LLC (San Diego). "E-beam is generally much kinder to the packaging, as well as to the products themselves," says Thibault, explaining that products are in the radiation field for only seconds with e-beam processes, versus hours with gamma.
In addition, a gamma irradiator has to group products according to dose and may have to purge the cell between batches that use different doses. Some products may be irradiated at higher doses than they really require for the sake of efficiency. With e-beam, products requiring varying doses can be run back to back without purging the cell in between. This means that each product receives only the dose it truly needs, says Thibault.
With more materials suppliers adding radiation-stable resins to polymers or bluing agents to combat cosmetic yellowing of the package caused by radiation, the option becomes even more attractive. "There are a whole lot of materials that are now very good radiation-stable materials," Thibault says. And because suppliers are seeing more demand for radiation-stable materials, the cost of these materials is coming down.
Though less popular currently than gamma irradiation, "E-beam can probably do better than 50% of all the sterile products on the market," Thibault says. "It is a niche market out there, but it is growing. There's a lot of interest in e-beam right now."
Fidopiastis at Sterigenics concurs. "Having recently opened our seventh e-beam facility, located in Shanghai, there is a steadily growing market for this modality of sterilization."
From EtO to E-Beam Sterilization Boston Scientific (Maple Grove, MN) has started using e-beam sterilization on some products, and it is testing new sterile barrier materials for use in the process. "We are currently using contract services for e-beam sterilization, but the technology is available for anyone to bring this in house," says Tim Mlsna, director of packaging. Mlsna says e-beam sterilization will allow the adoption of film/film pouches, replacing those that use the more-costly Tyvek. "You have to make final decisions on packaging materials during your proposal and/or design phases. When selecting these materials, you need to evaluate all potential impacts. For instance, your bonding material is critical, as the intensity of e-beam sterilization can cause adhesives to become brittle," he says. "When you are sealing the poly/poly structures, there is also a tendency for many of these materials to start to curl. This curling isn't conducive to easy handling, and it makes it more difficult to inspect for good seals as product leaves your facility," Mlsna says. "If you have a device that is going to be radiation sterilized, it may make sense to go to a film/film structure," says DuPont Medical's John Richard. "However, these formats are not without limitations particularly surrounding sterilization flexibility and product distribution. Designs incorporating porous packaging provide an MDM a broader range of future sterilization options without the need to redesign or validate a new package, while minimizing the potential for distribution-related recalls caused by atmospherically induced seal failures," he says. —David Vaczek |
Another area of growing interest, says sales and marketing manager Larry Lachowski of Steris Corp. (Mentor, OH), is vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) sterilization. Used in the pharmaceutical industry since the early 1990s, VHP sterilization is now also being used by the medical device industry. Lachowski cites the benefits of the process as rapid cycle times, no toxic residuals or carcinogenic by-products, broad material compatibility, low operating costs, fast turnaround, and no plasma phase.
The VHP MD sterilization system is designed as an in-house process. It can be easily integrated with the manufacturing and packaging operations, providing just-in-time sterilization. By using the VHP process in-house, a medical device company can lower sterilization costs and reduce costs of finished goods inventory and work in process (WIP).
The VHP MD sterilization process offered by Steris works well with most types of packaging, reports Lachowski, as long as the packaging has a breathable component, like Tyvek, to allow the hydrogen peroxide vapor to penetrate through the package and into the medical device. "A gas permeable pouch or lidded tray works well with VHP sterilization to provide an adequate level of sterilant penetration. Customers have not reported any undue stress on packaging by using VHP sterilization," he says. "Packaging that is typically used for EtO sterilization is compatible with VHP."
Design for sterilization
No matter which sterilization methods are chosen, they should be considered as early as the product design phase, say experts. And sometimes, the best idea is to design packaging compatible with multiple methods. "If a package is breathable (like Tyvek) and is radiation stabilized (as many are), both radiation and ethylene oxide have little or no effect on packaging," says technical specialist Martell Winters of Nelson Laboratories (Salt Lake City). "If a package can handle radiation and be breathable, it will be a big benefit to customers who use both types of sterilization."
"If this is done, the packaging does not dictate the selection of sterilization methodology, but instead it becomes a transparent factor. This allows the choice of sterilant to be based on other factors, like which one is the most cost-effective method of sterilization for the particular device in question," says Houghtling.
And cost is certainly a factor. "Most medical device manufacturers are being forced more than ever to keep costs down," says Brenda Sparks, account manager for Centurion Sterilization Services (Howell, MI). "You want to make sure that you are providing adequate protection and end-user satisfaction without adding extra layers of cost. For example, with EtO sterilization, most contract sterilizers bill by chamber space. If you add several layers of protection that are not needed, you are not only wasting dollars on packaging materials, but valuable chamber space. All of this adds to the bottom line."
The key to choosing the right materials, design, and sterilization method—while keeping costs low—is addressing sterilization requirements early in the design review process, according to Voisinet. "Design review is a process more like ballet than a hockey game," he explains. "It's all about a system of controlled, planned events, rather than random accidents to create a final product."
Packaging materials selection should therefore account for facilitating the intended sterilization process or at least be selected to minimize interfering with the sterilization process," says Fidopiastis.

The Night of All Souls
The Night of All Souls (November 2) rapidly approaches. Often associated with Catholic Latin American countries All Souls is increasingly woven into the fabric of the broader community, particularly here in multi-cultural Vancouver. In our death-den ying culture, how wonderful it is to have permission to publicly acknowledge the presence of death in our lives.
In many local cemeteries you will see food arranged at gravesites, drinks poured, gifts offered, and notes left. Mountain View Cemetery, for instance, hosts A Night for All Souls (Oct 29 – Nov 2) with installations by local artists and participatory rituals that invite the public to honour their dead with candles, shrines, flowers, and the sweeping and decorating of graves. There are many ways to express our hearts to the dead.
As anyone who lives near a cemetery or drives along a busy highway can tell you, our desire to remember and communicate with those who have passed away happens not just on the Night of All Souls but all year round too. Such memorials take many forms–wreaths, bouquets of flowers, small items the deceased person enjoyed while they were alive, or notes and photos encased in plastic sleeves. Read More >

Yes, I too have notice (at least with Taiwan) that their ppd can be all over the place. I'm glad for continuity's sake that we as a team seem to maintain a solid steady ppd, within a slight margin of error. Perhaps our ppd may decline because of the folding challenge though; I know I've moved over my secondary rig and am thinking of adding my main one too
I will stay BOINCing, because my main system is way better at that AFAIK. So is my secondary system, too which I don't have access ATM.
I'm leaving my ATI GPUs all on WCG--we only have another week or two of HCC WUs and I'd like to make the most of it. After that, I'll see what sort of suffering I can inflict upon the FAH team
Yeah, you're right. I decided the same last night for my main rig. I had stopped new tasks but when it was getting down low in the buffer, I just couldn't pull the plug altogether so they're still crunching.
30,006,184 The FAH Chimp Challenge is making its mark on our team, but we're still holding pretty steady! A comfortable #4 again! Milford Sound, New Zealand:
28,767,417 Down below 30m again, but it's only temporary, and our FAH team is doing ain incredible job ATM No threat to our position, however Autumn in Bayern, Deutschland:
OMG, that's just beautiful; go Deutschland! Nice to see still #4, even if we are sacrificing some ppd to F@H. Lets keep working hard!
I swear, I have yet to find a vista in Germany that isn't beautiful And in light of the boost to our FAH team, what we're doing here is particularly impressive
That's an amazing pic too, crazy weather. I did bring back my 7930 to WCG tonight, so let's hope it adds a little bump
Great job Team!!! Looks like we won't get an update tonight from FreeDC or BOINCStats :shadedshu I'll give it a chance and will post the stones and Pie tomorrow am.....
A bit late tonight, I got distracted playing with some new toys 27,510,078 Another thoroughly impressive day from Team TPU Guilin, China:

Tube = TFC Feser UV Blue Tubing 1/2 ID 3/4OD Compression Fittings 1/2 ID to 3/4 OD G1/4" = around 8 to 10 piece are the sizes of the tubes and other stuff fits together? I'm thinking of getting those bent fittings (forgot what to call it) just in case I need them. around 2 or 4
Personally you are wasting money water cooling memory. It yields near zero benefits and you will just be throwing money away.
oh then I'll skip on that, for now is it ok to have a 1x120mm top rad, 1x120mm rad back and another 1x120mm rad bot??I plan on extreme OC so far I saw this vid just now before I head to work and it seems informative. EN Watercooling Basics: Fittings 101 - YouTube.. for now I'll retire but I'll check out on my lunch break hoping my boss won't find out XD.
sounds like a bit of a waste to have 3 120 rads, when you can just get one big 360 rad mount it on the back of your case outside and be done with it. Having all those radiators will be restrictive too. Better to get the biggest rad you can IMO
right now I'm on a break sorry about the typo above I mean 2x120mm rad top, 120mm rad back and 120mm rad bot, but yeah I think I'll go with a external 480mm rad 4x120mm outside the case, but hmm I'm also thinking of putting a rad on the top of the case just for the gist of it.. btw how about this rad??? I think it's good quality. http://www.tipidpc.com/viewitem.php?iid=21955110 do I still need to buy kiillcoil? I plan on using distilled water thought. I'm thinking of getting this block http://www.tipidpc.com/viewitem.php?iid=21955246 based on here it does allow LGA2011 socket http://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-supremacy-full-nickel.html
Ok, all I see is a lot of smoke here. Going with multiple 120 rads makes your cooling restrictive. I will make it simple. 1 x 120.3 rad i all you need to dissipate the heat.
@drdeathx was planning on going two 120mm rad on back and bot and a 2x120mm rad on top but now I'm thinking of going with a tripe or quad 120mm rad outside the case and maybe stick another 2x120mm rad on top. I'll update the post above about the other parts XD. edit: still listing some parts but do you think this is good?? EK-Supreme HF-Acetal+Nickel CPU Water Block still need more input and information, I'll go check review on those items too. edit: done updating my post above, hope more people help. edit: btw I haven't tried any watercooling yet so I'm here for advice as I don't really know much besides some guides I read around.
ok I'm set on the trip the quad (some how the quad rad is almost 50$ more expensive so I'll skip on that) (edit the trip quad, i meant the trip is set and the quad is expensive) EK Supremacy - Full Nickel CPU Block (It does say it's compatible with LGA 2011) = 5500 XSPC X2O 750 Dual 5.25 Bay Reservoir Pump (I think this is a combo for res and pump) = 3500 how about the nickel block? is it good? and the xspc x20 is it the same as I think it is? res with a pump inside so I don't need a pump? or do i still need the pump I put above?
The Quad rad is still overkill. A triple 120 rad will do fine. I ran a trip 120 with 3930K and 2 x 7970's with not problems and good temps. Make sure you get a quality rad. I run a MCP655 on all my setups with a seperate res. The MCP655's are rocks and run forever.
can you tell me which of this 2? I think either are good and either of them fits on my budget http://www.tipidpc.com/viewitem.php?iid=21972768 Swiftech MCP655-B Water Cooling Pump http://www.tipidpc.com/viewitem.php?iid=21972774 Swiftech MCP655-Vario Water Cooling Pump how about this?? http://www.tipidpc.com/viewitem.php?iid=21969179 Acrylic Tank Reservoir for Laing D5 or MCP 655 is that good??? can you tell me more about this? http://www.tipidpc.com/viewitem.php?iid=21967456 Fittings Multi-link SLI Bitspower Crystal Link Tubes Bitspower Crystal Link Tube For 5-Slots - # BP-CLTAC-S5 Product Description & Info Features 1. Real Hi-Flow Tube- ID 10MM. 2. CNC Molded Acrylic Tube For C47 and C48(Mini Version). 3. Three Tube in different Lengths, 75/80/85MM. 4. RoHS Compliant. how about this separate res?? http://www.tipidpc.com/viewitem.php?iid=21954551 Bitspower Reservoir Z-Multi 150 may I ask what is this for? http://www.tipidpc.com/viewitem.php?iid=21954587 EK-D5 Dual TOP 2-LOOPS - Black Acetal
MCP655 and D5 are same pumps(rebranded). Vario is adjustable speed. res is fine. If you want to save space and money, the Swiftec micro res is good.
The vario version just allows you to adjust the speed, so you can running it quieter. It should do the job. Personally I would prefer a 5.25 Bay res. Used for connecting multiple graphics cards cleanly. Some also use it as a replacement for tubing. Looks fine to me. If you want to have 2 loops in your system, it just allows you to have the pumps together, mostly and aesthetics and space saving thing. You can also get a pump top like that, that allows you to use 2 pumps in one loop.
how about this res? just wondering if it's good. http://www.tipidpc.com/viewitem.php?iid=21972817 XSPC Acrylic Dual 5.25 Bay Reservoir (Alu Front) I notice them in different size, does that affect anything? If I were to use the EK-D5 Dual TOP 2-LOOPS does that mean I use 2 reservoir?? currently googling a pic for it, to get some idea edit: I saw this Some information regarding XSPC Tube. XSPC 1/2" ID High Flex Tubing - 1/2" (13mm) Inner Diameter - 1/8" (3mm) Wall Thickness - 3/4" (19mm) Outer Diameter - Stain Resistant - Max Temperature 60ºC - Min Temperature -32ºC - Designed for use with 1/2" barbs XSPC 3/8" ID High Flex Tubing - 3/8" (10mm) Inner Diameter - 1/8" (3mm) Wall Thickness - 5/8" (16mm) Outer Diameter - Stain Resistant - Max Temperature 60ºC - Min Temperature -32ºC - Designed for use with 3/8" barbs XSPC 7/16" ID High Flex Tubing - 7/16" (11.1mm) Inner Diameter - (2.4mm) Wall Thickness - 5/8" (15.9mm) Outer Diameter - Stain Resistant - Max Temperature 60ºC - Min Temperature -32ºC - Designed for use with 1/2" barbs can you guys tell me how to know which tubing I need? what do you think of this tubing? http://www.tipidpc.com/viewitem.php?iid=8669170 Primochill Primoflex LRT Pro 3/8 x 5/8 (black) ( hope there is blue ) is it good? does it fit properly on this parts Radiator = XSPC EX360 Triple Fan Radiator (black) =3900 CPU = EK Supremacy - Full Nickel CPU Block (It does say it's compatible with LGA 2011) = 5500 Pump = Swiftech MCP655-B Water Cooling Pump= 5000 Res = Acrylic Tank Reservoir for Laing D5 or MCP 655 = 2300 or Res = XSPC Acrylic Dual 5.25 Bay Reservoir (Alu Front) = 3300 (Btw this one fits fine right with the mcp655) ?? so far these are the parts I like and hope works well with one another. (btw I plan on buying that curve tube thingy that you place on blocks to make a curve) but not sure which one yet.
The tubing size depends on the look you want, and the fittings you buy. This is the one thing you are missing, fittings. Those are the barbs/compression fittings that allow the tubing to go onto your different parts. Personally, I prefer the tubing you have chosen, the 3/8 ID and 5/8 OD. As it isn't very big, but isn't restrictive. Anything that says D5 will fit the 655 fine.
1/2 barbs on what? If he goes for the bay res/pump combo, it's a custom pump top too Just a thing for Cotton_Cup. That bay res you linked(http://www.tipidpc.com/viewitem.php?iid=21972817), You may want to call up and ask about it, as the product page is a little sketchy. It shows a picture for the reservoir that fits the ddc pump, not the D5. The specs on the website say it's for a D5. The link they provide to the XSPC website, links to just a normal reservoir, with no pump mount in it.
Yeah, but you need fittings on the res/pump. That what he is talking about. How do you expect water to go in and out of it? OP: Get 1/2 ID tubing with 1/2 ID Barbs or Compression fittings.
YOu can take them off im pretty sure, and use whatever compression or barb you one as like as it has G1/4" thread.
nah, they are solid plastic, only way to put your own fittings on it to get a drill bit, and a G1/4 inch screw tap, and make your own screw in points.
They do sell ones that are already threaded. http://www.performance-pcs.com/cata...e=product_info&cPath=59_201&products_id=33678

I feel like I should start of with one of my favorite advertisements. I don't think the commercial itself is what made me go into advertising, but I d think the characteristics that make this spot great definitely have something to do with it.
It is from Sony and it was for their line of Bravia Televisions. Here is the full 2:31 spot:
So why is this a good spot? First of all, I will freely admit that the budget for this ad was bigger than some companies ever put towards advertising. It isn't that I like large budgets (well, I do), but it allows for some very cool results.
Ignoring the fact that not all ads get budgets like this, what this ad does well is to bring together the individual elements that make a commercial and utilizes each one to really drive home the message. Sony has a history of great commercials for the Bravia line (my second favorite being the paint one). The visuals are incredible, the music fits so perfectly, the story is great, and the fact that they really let loose hundreds of thousands of bouncy balls down San Francisco's iconic hills. Fallon, the agency that was commissioned for the project, did a fantastic job of combining all of these elements to produce an ad like no other.
Fittingly the tagline for the for the Bravia line is "like no other." Sony sets the bar high for a category of commercials that often would be pretty generic. To me, this ad is rather awe inspiring. The grand scale of the project amazes me and while the commercial itself didn't make me go into advertising, the individual elements, their choreography, and commercials with this creativity are what made me go into advertising.
The other thing that I loved about this commercial is that they made a how-to video for it. I love learning about anything and everything plus seeing any behind the scenes for almost everything.
So, this is the beginning of what is hopefully and interesting look at advertising and other things [re: ramblings]. Please comment, please criticize, please send me ideas for articles, and please share the things you find interesting.

Do people have thoughts on bringing a GTD system online without doing a complete collection phase first? I've made some efforts to implement GTD in my life in the past without success. After using a few different processing tools (ThinkingRock, DGT GTD) I have a feel for the software side of the equation. I have re-read the book and I understand where I went wrong in some areas.
I am not sure I am capable of a full collection sweep at this time, but I would like to continue refining my GTD habits. Any thoughts on bringing a system online but straying somewhat from the textbook methodology

Energy Department Approves Full-Scale Demonstration of Coal Dryer Innovative Technology Promises More Power, Lower Costs, Reduced Emissions |
WASHINGTON, DC - Building on the continuous operation of a prototype coal dryer that uses waste heat to remove moisture from coal, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has given the go-ahead to Great River Energy to conduct the first-ever full-scale demonstration of the utility company's innovative technology. Great River Energy will soon begin the demonstration at its Coal Creek Station near Underwood, N.D., during the second phase of a cost-shared project with DOE. The $31.5 million project, which received $13.5 million in funding from DOE, was one of eight projects selected in the first phase of DOE's Clean Coal Power Initiative, a 10-year $2-billion commitment to advance of clean coal technologies and an integral part of the Administration's National Energy Policy. The projects are managed by DOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory. "This unique coal-drying system enables the nation to tap into vast resources of high-moisture coal while simultaneously providing environmental benefits," according to Jeffrey Jarrett, Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy. "The successful demonstration of the system will further indicate that the nation can cost-effectively use its most abundant resource and still contribute to the President's Clear Skies Initiative." During the first phase of the project, Great River Energy used its prototype dryer to supply about 14 percent of the coal fed to a 546-megawatt unit at the station. Positive results from the operation indicated that the stack flow rate decreased 1 percent, boiler efficiency increased 0.3 percent, pulverizer power consumption decreased 3.5 percent, sulfur oxide emissions fell 1 percent, nitrogen oxide emissions decreased 7.6 percent, and carbon dioxide emissions fell 0.9 percent. The full-scale demonstration planned for phase 2 of the project will include the final design and construction of a four-dryer integrated system that will supply all of the coal (high-moisture lignite) to the 546-megwatt unit. The demonstration of the integrated system is expected to occur sometime in 2008 and will operate through that year, generating data that will be useful to operators of other power plants that burn high-moisture coal. After 2008, the unit is expected to operate as an integral part of the utility's power grid. The likely benefactors of a successful demonstration would be those power plants, primarily in the western United States, that burn the lignite and Powder River Basis coals. These coals have a high moisture content and therefore create challenges for utility operators. As an example, Great River Energy's Coal Creek Station burns lignite that can contain as much as 40 percent water by weight. Until Great River Energy's project, the cost of thermal coal drying often exceeded any predicted gains in a plant's operational performance. At the Coal Creek Station, however, the approach of capturing and reusing the excess heat, rather than burning additional fuel to generate the heat, holds the promise for commercial application of thermal coal drying. Today in the United States, power generation units that burn lignite and Power River Basin coal have a combined capacity of 115 gigawatts. Over the next 20 years, the capacity of those types of units is projected to increase by another 100 gigawatts. If the coal-drying system is applied at power stations totaling just 10 gigawatts, the annual reduction in air emissions will be nearly 7,000 tons of nitrogen oxides, more than 18,000 tons of sulfur dioxide, more than 7 million tons of carbon dioxide, more than 9,000 tons of particulates, and nearly 300 pounds of mercury. The advantages inherent in Great River Energy's system is that drying the coal increases its heating value and requires less coal to generate the same amount of energy. The system also emits less flue gas and thereby reduces the workload on other equipment in the plant, such as fans. The overall result is an estimated increase in efficiency of about 5 percent, considered a significant improvement in plant performance and cost savings. In conjunction with Great River Energy, other project partners include the Electric Power Research Institute (Palo Alto, Calif.), Lehigh University (Bethlehem, Pa.), Barr Engineering, (Minneapolis, Minn.), Headwaters Inc. (South Jordan, Utah), and Falkirk Mining (Underwood, N.D.) |

David Cameron has resisted demands for an inquiry into the conduct of Tory Chief Whip Andrew Mitchell as the row over his tirade against police officers in Downing Street deepened.
Mr Mitchell sought to draw a line under the affair as he appeared before the cameras for the first time to apologise publicly for his outburst after officers refused to allow him to cycle through the main gates.
However, police representatives reacted with fury after he made clear he did not accept reports that he called the officers "plebs" in the course of the altercation on Wednesday evening.
The chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation John Tully said he was effectively accusing the officers involved of lying and called on the Prime Minister to institute an inquiry.
Earlier The Sun, which broke the story, reported that it had now seen a police report of the incident which indicated that Mr Mitchell did call the officers "plebs" as well as swearing at them repeatedly.
The report, drawn up for senior officers, was said to be backed up by at least two officers making the same verbatim note of the exchange in their pocket books.
Arriving in Whitehall for a hastily arranged "doorstep" with reporters, Mr Mitchell accepted he had not shown sufficient respect to the police and reiterated the apology he issued last week after details of the encounter first emerged, saying: "I didn't show the police the amount of respect I should have done. We should all respect the police, they do an incredibly difficult job."
However, when he was pressed on whether he used the politically explosive word "plebs", he said: "I want to make it absolutely clear that I did not use the words that have been attributed to me," a claim which Mr Tully said put him directly at odds with the account given by the officers, casting doubts on their honesty.
Chief Superintendent Irene Curtis, president-elect of the Police Superintendents' Association, added: "By saying he disputes what the officer has said, he's actually calling into question the police officer's integrity, and for a police officer that's a very serious matter."
Downing Street indicated that, in the absence of an official complaint from Scotland Yard, Mr Cameron did not see the need to take the matter any further.

- When the Cubes are processed, data is read by IT Analytics SQL queries stored in the Symantec CMDB for the Symantec Management Platform where IT Analytics resides. Data is retrieved using a series of views using linked server calls to the target databases. Typically this occurs on a daily basis but is schedulable to fit the needs of the customer.
- Data is stored in Analysis Server Cubes.
- Data is read from the cube using MDX queries. These are run as needed to fetch data for reports, dashboards and pivot tables.
- Report server provides web services front end to data. Data can be retrieved through either the report server's IIS website or from the Symantec Management Platform console.
- Data is presented in dashboards and reports. This might be presented on a large monitor on the wall or on a user's computer.
- Data is read via Microsoft Excel Pivot Tables in the Symantec Management Platform Console.
- Data is presented within the Symantec Management Platform Console
Comments 2 Comments • Jump to latest comment
IT Analytics uses the default SQL port 1433 to connect to the SEP Manager database. If 1433 is not the default port configured on SQL, you can always specify the correct port when setting up the connection within the IT Analytics configuration page by using the format 'SERVERNAME:XXXX' (where 'XXXX' is the actual port number).
