Wimpy's Burger - Any good?
- icey May 8, 2007 11:14 AM
Hi All,
I just found out that there will be a Wimpy's Burger opening up near my work and I wanted to know a little more about it. I couldn't find their website. Anyways, is it any good? Can any of you tell me about the menu?
re: Davwud
Is that a dare??
My husband and I tried the burger combo last year (Pickering location) and I have to say, it was ok at best. The burger was super greasy and arrived with just a layer of grease on top. The fries were good ... onion rings were too thickly battered (I think they were frozen) and the relish was "very" watery. We were searching for the best burger (and have tried everywhere, even across the border), but we have not been back to Wimpy's.
You should be able to find their menu on their website.
Perhaps give it a try as everyone's taste and expectations are different, but I've had better burgers elsewhere.
The hamburgers at Wimpy's are very thin and I find them to be quite dry. They are huge...they hang over the bun. Not a great burger as I prefer mine to be thicker and juicy. The all day breakfast that they offer isn't bad though.
The website is www.wimpysdiner.net you can see a picture of their burger and other menu offerings there.
re: chefbec
The painted on grillmarks and the grease slick look pretty realistic...
I just came back from having dinner with a friend at the Wimpy's on St. Clair East in Scarborough. I didn't know what to expect, but came away pleasantly surprised. The meals, while nothing special, were quite tasty and served in an interesting 50's diner atmosphere at reasonable prices. The dinner specials running $6 to $9 were a deal.
It's the type of place kids would love.
re: Moorepark
My guess is the St Clair location is the original and all the others are badly copied franchises. I've enjoyed eating here, but I won't go to any of the other locations again.
re: neighborguy
i second the breakfast at wimpy's. not fancy or healthfull but oh so great when you're nursing a bad hangover.
i don't know if they still have them, but they used to have a breakfast danish on the menu. not the pastry kind.....the fried bun with icing kind.
Mar 20 2008
I just tried Wimpy's after years of passing by it. On Sheppard Ave East. Fun 50s atmosphere - though looked a little run down, to be honest. Jukeboxes need a bit of a smack to get good sound. Decent breakfast (skip those not so yummy fatty sausages, though) with nice ham and toast. I ordered the 10 oz burger combo. Yuck! A giant greasy frozen patty the size of my hand - with a hint of some unpleasant seasoning that I couldn't quite put my finger on. And whatever it was lingered in my craw for hours - I'm being truthful here. This was in no way a satisfactory piece of meat for man, or dog. Good vanilla shake. But bad McCain frozen fries - advertised right on the menu. No good. How hard is it to make a fresh hamburger and fresh cut fries? A bad shortcut that will likely keep us away from returning to a fun looking establishment and a great concept. Mind you, I haven't tried any of the sandwiches ...
re: eggoman
I'll bet that not one person in 100 could tell the difference between fresh and frozen. Otherwise, Tim Horton's would be out business.
re: wordsworth
LOL. But I wouldn't dream of eating lunch or dinner at Timmy's. :)
But seriously, I think most people could taste the difference between fresh and frozen (especially, certain food items). The problem is that not too many people have the chance to taste fresh made food these days. The texture and taste of fresh food is a lot more full - freezing tends to remove some juices from meats once they're thawed. As for fries, the McCain fries looked a bit see-through and had not much taste. That's not something you get from a fresh cut fry or wedge.
Mickey D's is about the only place where the fries are frozen and I like them. However, they have invested a lot of money in making this work.
Fresh cut is a cut above. You get a real hearty potato flavour and they don't disintegrate when you cut them in half.
As for burgers, a fresh burger well-made is awesome. What I had at Wimpy's was not juicy (no surprise) and tasted little like any beef you'd want to eat (probably my least fav frozen patty ever).
I did think it odd that they advertised that they served McCain Fries.
But hey, Wordsworth, at least they were up front about their mediocrity :0
re: eggoman
I have to agree with you eggoman. I am sick and tired of frozen fries and burgers. Contrary to popular opinion, if you've eaten enough frozen fries and then have fresh, you can definitely tell the difference right away. With the plethora of kitchen tools out there, you'd figure it'd be pretty easy to have a prep chef pre-cut some potatoes during the day to make fresh fries. It's not rocket science. I would even go so far as to say that restaurants that can't be bothered to make their own fries should advertise proudly on their menu, "We make your food fresh out of the freezer!".
re: Ubervache
I always thought that was weird that they'd be gloating about McCain fries. There's another chain called Wild Wing in Ontario that has McCain logo all over the side order section of the menu. Unless they get some huge discout from McCain to promote the brand name, I don't understand the benefit that can be purchased at almost any store for about $3 a bag.
re: Ubervache
With the way they promote their use of products from Cambell's, Heinz, etc, maybe another tagline could be "Supermarket foods, only not cooked at home." (Let the flameouts begin...)
Back to their decor, I guess the fake pre-fab diner nostalgia thing works for a lot of people.
re: neighborguy
"Supermarket foods, only not cooked at home."
I expect very fierce competition for that slogan.
As per the others - avoid the burger, but the breakfast is OK. The St Clair East location is like a time capsule. It is reminiscent of groundhog day.
Their Canadian headquarters are next door. Well worth admiring if you are going to the SCE location.

Comments about Roxy nba nfl boardshorts:
I would recommend it, except if I were you, I would definitely go one size smaller, because the waist is pretty large and stretches. A tip if you do get the larger size, tuck it into your bathing suit bottoms at the top so it fits better. I love this product, so good luck!

More On Legal & Compliancefrom The Advisor's Professional Library
- Differences Between State and SEC Regulation of Investment Advisors States may impose licensing or registration requirements on IARs doing business in their jurisdiction, even if the IAR works for an SEC-registered firm. States may investigate and prosecute fraud by any IAR in their jurisdiction, even if the individual works for an SEC-registered firm.
- Dealings With Qualified Clients and Accredited Investors Depending upon an RIAs business model and investment strategies, it may be important to identify "qualified clients" and "accredited investors." The Dodd-Frank Act authorized the SEC to change which clients are defined by those terms.
Despite the enormous potential the life settlement market offers, experts are not sure how quickly it will get going. There has been too much confusion and notoriety surrounding these kinds of transactions in past years, says Ron Sussman, CEO of Voorhees, New Jersey-based CPI Companies, a firm that specializes in life insurance and also has a broker/dealer division, and until these are cleared up, he suggests, most B/Ds are going to be reluctant to get involved in the business.
"Life settlement transactions have earned a bad reputation for themselves because there have been too many instances over the past few years of people being forced to buy insurance for the sole purpose of selling it," Sussman says. "Because of this, most broker/dealers don't understand life settlements and don't allow their reps to do them. Insurance companies are doing a better job at policing, but there's a lot of clutter in the market with respect to how life settlements are used. This needs to be cleaned up before we see broker/dealers coming into the market in a big way."
More importantly, though, the future of the life settlement industry depends on whether consumers are willing to accept the fact that life insurance policies can be used for purposes other than what they were originally purchased for. A policy that had meaning a decade ago might not be needed in the same way today, and its owner might have a more pressing need for immediate cash. Being able to sell that policy therefore depends on the existence of a fully functioning, liquid, secondary market. "Whenever you dispose of something in the secondary market, you get a much better cash value for it," says Doug Head, spokesperson for the Orlando-based Life Insurance Settlement Association (LISA). "In New York, you can sell tickets to a great show on the street for more than cash value, and it's the same principle for life insurance, particularly when for the past 50 years, life insurance has been bought and sold as an investment instrument."
Life settlements emanated from the viatical settlements that became a big business at the height of the AIDS epidemic, when terminally ill patients sold their life insurance policies to third parties. The nefarious usage of many of these deals have tainted the industry since that time, but if the life settlement space is properly regulated and if people are willing to see the benefits of a liquid secondary market, there is no reason why the life settlement market cannot take off properly, Head says.
Attorneys like Brian Casey of the big law firm Lord, Bissell and Brook LLP agree. Casey, whose office is in Atlanta, believes the life settlement market is getting ready to take off, and a notice issued by the NASD to its members in August (NASD Notice 06-38) is a clear sign of this, he would argue, even if its focus was the treatment of variable life insurance settlements, which experts say form a very small part of the overall market.
"The NASD is foreshadowing more regulation to come," Casey says, and greater regulation will allow for a more transparent, more efficient secondary market. "With respect to all constituents, a secondary market for financial assets is good, as it creates liquidity and even enhances the value of the insurance product."
The more regulation there is, the greater also will be the interest of B/Ds in the life settlement business, Sussman says. Right now, the few broker/dealers that do life settlement transactions are following their own company guidelines, he says, but more universal regulation will allow a greater number of B/Ds to participate.
"There are a lot of reasons why broker/dealers should be doing life settlement transactions; the main one is because they will be able to give clients the ability to access value in the policies which the issuing insurance companies cannot," Sussman says.
In its August notice, the NASD reminded members that variable life insurance settlements are security transactions, and therefore are subject to all NASD rules regarding securities. NASD-regulated persons should consider the impact of the Notice on their current practices related to variable policy transactions, Casey wrote in a recent brief to his law firm's clients, and consider adopting some of the best practices intimated by the NASD. Beyond that, market participants are expecting the NASD to come forth with guidance for non-variable insurance settlements as well, as these form the bulk of the marketplace, and are, Casey writes, an area of concern for the NASD.
"We favor the development of a well-developed, state-based regulatory system," LISA's Head says. "But there are efforts to develop a more efficient market by increasingly setting standards to allow policies to be valued in a more systematic manner. We are also looking forward to getting a better understanding with the securities regulators, notably the NASD and the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA), and we expect that more broker/dealers will get involved in this market as we get better regulated."

The Ignorance of Enlightenment Part Two: Organised Religion.

I think the state
is the most dangerous organized religion out there. The rest are voluntary institutions. If one thinks he can find peace outside the Church more power to him. I know that I am a miserable sinner, and that I need the community of God, the Church.
Being that I am Lutheran, a member of the LCMS, a voluntary organization I may add, I do not see why people rant and rave about 'organized religion' when we have the religion of the Hagelian state to contend with.
May the LORD bless you and keep you
May the LORD make His face shed light upon you and be gracious unto you
May the LORD lift up His face unto you and give you peace

when organized religion has unchecked influence on the state, it's bad news for the people.
I don't play, I commission the league.

Re: If one think he can find peace outside the Church more power to him.
My friend ... bless your heart for your good intentions. However, as has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt in my article "Sowing The Seeds For A Peace Revolution", organized religion in general, as a result of now evident false teaching (as any rational intellectually honest person who reads the entire article, including ALL of item "7)" from the question and answer section will see), has been an absolute impediment towards ever attaining world peace:

What happens when a respected Christian journalist decides to put his preconceptions aside and take a long look at the Jesus described in the Gospels? How does the Jesus of the New Testament compare to the "new, rediscovered" Jesusor even the Jesus we think we know so well?

"Midway upon the journey of our life, I found myself within a forest dark, for the straightforward pathway had been lost."— Dante's Inferno
"I guess the grass is always greener. It's just . . . It's what you said, right? It's that forty-something thing where you start thinking about the life not lived."— Gwen, Rapture, Blister, Burn
A popular assumption about feminists — not just among certain right-wing personalities — is that they are ugly, sexless, humorless harpies that no man wants (unless women advocate for access to birth control, then they are common sluts). In Rapture, Blister, Burn, Gina Gionfriddo grapples with the realities of women's lives and pulls off a popular comedy about feminism. Fortune favors the bold and, as noted by Variety, "Gionfriddo's some kind of genius."
Originally, Gionfriddo tried to write a play about the possible psychological and sociological effects of internet pornography. As she told Playwrights Horizons' artistic director Tim Sanford in an interview, "I was a child of the '70s; when we wanted information about sex, it was extremely hard to get. We would try to steal a Playboy Magazine or find a dirty book in the library. Now it's just like Sodom and Gomorrah at the click of a mouse. And I am fixated by the idea that there has to be some hideous psychological trickle-down from that." She sketched out a character, an academic who would lecture on the topic, but lectures, she realized, are lousy theatre. Shifting gears, she developed plot ideas that would allow the character to confront her area of academic expertise in her life. Gionfriddo says, "From there, the play evolved into a story less about porn than the state of male/ female relationships at this particular time in America."
The protagonist, Catherine, disenchanted with her life as a hotshot public intellectual, latches onto her mother's recent heart attack as an excuse to return home. Home includes her friends from graduate school, specifically her ex-lover Don who jilted her for Gwen. Gwen, began in the same place as Cathy, but chose another path, dropping out of school to be a stay-at-home-mother. Both women wonder what life would be like on the path not taken.Life meets theory when Catherine convinces Don to let her teach a summer seminar on her topic: "The Fall of American Civilization." In an awkward twist, only two students enroll in the class has just two students: Gwen, and her erstwhile twenty-something babysitter, Avery. Cathy's mother Alice is along for the ride, joining the women at the end of their sessions with martinis and yet another perspective.
A reconsideration of one's life path at middle age is a near-universal experience, however, for women, the questions are fraught with political and social significance. Writing in The New York Times, Gionfriddo frames it this way: "The dream, then and now, postfeminist and post-postfeminist (or whatever we choose to call this moment) is still simple and still incredibly hard: How do men and women figure out how to negotiate their equality better? As Cathy in Rapture advises a female student in the throes of love and ambition, "My middle-aged observation is that, in a relationship between two equals, you can't both go first."
Catherine's existential crisis prompts her to reflect, "My mother is going to die soon, and I find myself wondering if there isn't some . . . wisdom in the natural order. In creating a new family to replace the one you lose." She ultimately gets a chance to create a new family, but not in the way that we expect. Gionfriddo wanted to create a stage picture, "which was something about women without men who are both frightened and excited by what their future holds . . . " Real feminists, as opposed to popular culture caricatures, never claim to be able to have it all. All human rights movements, fundamentally, are concerned with self-determination, for good or for ill, with the costs of freedom being well worth the price.

An anonymous reader is one of many to send word that the European Parliament has voted 384 to 174 in favor of unbundling search engines from other commercial services in order to ensure competition. "The European Parliament has voted in favor of breaking Google up, as a solution to complaints that it favors is own services in search results. Politicians have no power to enforce a break-up, but the landmark vote sends a clear message to European regulators to get tough on the net giant. US politicians and trade bodies have voiced their dismay at the vote. The ultimate decision will rest with EU competition commissioner Margrethe Vestager. She has inherited the anti-competitive case lodged by Google's rivals in 2010. Google has around 90% market share for search in Europe. The Commission has never before ordered the break-up of any company, and many believe it is unlikely to do so now. But politicians are desperate to find a solution to the long-running anti-competitive dispute with Google."

mpicpp writes with this news from the BBC: Google is under fresh pressure to expand the 'right to be forgotten' to its international .com search tool. A panel of EU data protection watchdogs said the move was necessary to prevent the law from being circumvented. Google currently de-lists results that appear in the European versions of its search engines, but not the international one. The panel said it would advise member states' data protection agencies of its view in new guidelines. However, a link is provided at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen offering an option to switch to the international .com version. This link does not appear if the users attempted to go to a regional version in the first place. Even so, it means it is possible for people in Europe to easily opt out of the censored lists.

HughPickens.com writes Brian Fung writes in the Washington Post that Wikipedia has been a little hesitant to weigh in on net neutrality, the idea that all Web traffic should be treated equally by Internet service providers such as Comcast or Time Warner Cable. That's because the folks behind Wikipedia actually see a non-neutral Internet as one way to spread information cheaply to users in developing countries. With Wikipedia Zero, users in places like Pakistan and Malaysia can browse the site without it counting against the data caps on their cellphones or tablets. This preferential treatment for Wikipedia's site helps those who can't afford to pay for pricey data — but it sets the precedent for deals that cut against the net neutrality principle. "We believe in net neutrality in America," says Gayle Karen Young, adding that Wikipedia Zero requires a different perspective elsewhere. "Partnering with telecom companies in the near term, it blurs the net neutrality line in those areas. It fulfills our overall mission, though, which is providing free knowledge."
Facebook and Google also operate programs internationally that are exempted from users' data caps — a tactic known somewhat cryptically as "zero rating". Facebook in particular has made "Facebook Zero" not just a sales pitch in developing markets but also part of an Internet.org initiative to expand access "to the two thirds of the world's population that doesn't have it." But a surprising decision in Chile shows what happens when policies of neutrality are applied without nuance. Chile recently put an end to the practice, widespread in developing countries, of big companies "zero-rating" access to their services. "That might seem perverse," says Glyn Moody, "since it means that Chilean mobile users must now pay to access those services, but it is nonetheless exactly what governments that have mandated net neutrality need to do."

An anonymous reader writes: Mozilla today unveiled some of the new search features coming to Firefox. The company says the new additions are "coming soon to a Firefox near you" but didn't give a more specific timeline. The news comes less than a week after Mozilla struck a deal with Yahoo to replace Google as the default search engine in its browser for U.S. users. At the time, the company said a new search experience was coming in December, so we're betting the search revamp will come with the release of Firefox 34, which is currently in beta. In the future release, when you type a search term into the Firefox search box, you will get a list of reorganized search suggestions from the default search provider. Better yet, a new array of buttons below these suggestions will let you pick which search engine you want to send the query to.

New submitter lx76 writes:
The International Telecommunications Union does research on telecommunications in society worldwide, from cellphones to internet use. Since 2009, on a yearly basis, they've released their research findings in a report called the Measuring Information Society Report. This year's report is over 200 pages long, illustrated with abundant graphs and tables (PDF). It's not a light read. But one of the interesting numbers is an index showing the divide in global connectivity. From the report: "Over the past year, the world witnessed continued growth in the uptake of ICT [Information and
Communication Technology] and, by end 2014, almost 3 billion people will be using the Internet, up from 2.7 billion at end 2013..... Despite this encouraging progress, there are important digital divides that need to be addressed: 4.3 billion people are still not online, and 90 per cent of them live in the developing world."
The report continues, "As this report finds, ICT performance is better in countries with higher shares of the population living in urban areas, where access to ICT infrastructure, usage and skills is more favorable. Yet it is precisely in poor and rural areas where ICTs can make a particularly significant impact." Projects like Google's Project Loon have their work cut out for them."

_Sharp'r_ writes Two Stanford PhDs, Ross Koningstein and David Fork, worked for Google on the RE<C project to figure out how to make renewables cheaper than coal and solve climate change. After four years of study they gave up, determining "Renewable energy technologies simply won't work; we need a fundamentally different approach." As a result, is nuclear going to be acknowledged as the future of energy production?

alphadogg writes: Word that the Federal Aviation Administration might take a very hard line on commercial drone use has those with designs on such activity nervous. But as for big enterprise IT vendors, it's really hard to tell what they think because they're keeping any plans in this field very hush-hush. More consumer oriented companies like Amazon, Facebook, and Google are active, but companies like IBM and HP are quiet, while Microsoft affirms it has nothing doing. A former FAA lawyer says sitting on the sidelines even during this unsure regulatory period is probably not a great idea. "I have a hard time believing they don't have some sort of programs in place," attorney Mark Dombroff says.

An anonymous reader writes Google today provided an update on its plan to remove Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface (NPAPI) from Chrome, which the company says will improve the browser's security, speed, and stability, as well as reduce complexity in the code base. In short, the latest timeline is as follows: Block all plugins by default in January 2015, disable support in April 2015, and remove support completely in September 2015. For context, Google first announced in September 2013 that it was planning to drop NPAPI. At the time, Google said anonymous Chrome usage data showed just six NPAPI plugins were used by more than 5 percent of users, and the company was hoping to remove support from Chrome "before the end of 2014, but the exact timing will depend on usage and user feedback."

benrothke writes If SSL is the emperor's new clothes, then Ivan Ristic in Bulletproof SSL and TLS has shown that perhaps the emperor isn't wearing anything at all. There is a perception that if a web site is SSL secured, then it's indeed secure. Read a few pages in this important book, and the SSL = security myth is dispelled. For the first 8 of the 16 chapters, Ristic, one of the greatest practical SSL./TLS experts around, spends 230 pages showing countless weaknesses, vulnerabilities, attacks and other SSL weaknesses. He then spends the next 8 chapters showing how SSL can, if done correctly, be deployed to provide adequate security. Keep reading for the rest of Ben's review.

samzenpus writes Hampton Creek is a food technology company that makes food healthier by utilizing a specially made egg substitute in food products. The company was selected by Bill Gates to be featured on his website in a story called, The Future of Food, and has raised $30 million in funding. Hampton Creek's latest product is called, Just Cookies, which is an eggless chocolate chip cookie dough, but it is their eggless mayo that has been in the news lately. Unilever, which manufactures Hellmann's and Best Foods mayonnaise, is suing Hampton Creek claiming that the name Just Mayo is misleading to consumers. Named one of Entrepreneur Magazine's 100 Brilliant Companies and one of CNBC's Top 50 Disruptors, Hampton Creek has picked up some impressive talent including the former lead data scientist at Google Maps, Dan Zigmond. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, Dan and the Hampton Creek team have agreed to answer any questions you may have. As usual, ask as many as you'd like, but please, one per post.

An anonymous reader writes Google [Thursday] shared an update from Project Loon, the company's initiative to bring high-speed Internet access to remote areas of the world via hot air balloons. Google says it now has the ability to launch up to 20 of these balloons per day. This is in part possible because the company has improved its autofill equipment to a point where it can fill a balloon in under five minutes. This is a major achievement, given that Google says filling a Project Loon balloon with enough air so that it is ready for flight is the equivalent of inflating 7,000 party balloons.

oyenamit writes Online shopping in India is still in its infancy but is growing tremendously to reach the mostly untapped market of 1.2 billion people. Invariably, the conflict between pure online retailers like Amazon and Flipkart and brick and mortar stores was bound to emerge. Unfortunately for Google's Android One, it has been on the receiving end of this friction. Leading brick and mortar retailers in India have refused to sell Android One handsets ever since the US company chose to launch its products exclusively online. The three Android One makers in India — Micromax, Karbonn and Spice — launched their handsets exclusively online in mid-September. When sales did not meet their expectations, they decided to release their products via the brick and mortar store channel. However, smaller retailer and mom-n-pop shops have decided to show their displeasure at having being left out of the launch by deciding not to stock Android One. The Android One phones, announced at the most recent Google I/O, are Google's attempt to bring stock Android (as on Google's Nexus devices) to emerging markets, with competent but not high-end phones.

An anonymous reader writes Mozilla has released its annual financial report for 2013, and the numbers hint as to why the organization signed a five-year deal with Yahoo, announced by the duo on November 19. Revenue increased just 1 percent, and the organization's reliance on Google stayed flat at 90 percent. The total revenue for the Mozilla Foundation and its subsidiaries in 2011 was $163 million, and it increased 90.2 percent to $311 million for 2012. Yet that growth all but disappeared last year, as the total revenue moved up less than 1 percent (0.995 percent to be more precise) to $311 million in 2013. 85 percent of Mozilla's revenue came from Google in 2011, and that figure increased to 90 percent in 2012. While the 90 percent number remained for 2013, it's still a massive proportion and shows Mozilla last year could not figure out a way to differentiate where its money comes from.

An anonymous reader points out a report at the Financial Times (paywalled) which says the European Parliament is preparing to call for the break-up of Google. According to the draft seen by the FT, a potential solution to ongoing anti-trust concerns with Google is "unbundling search engines from other services." The article notes, "The European parliament has no formal power to split up companies, but has increasing influence on the commission, which initiates all EU legislation. The commission has been investigating concerns over Google's dominance of online search for five years, with critics arguing that the company's rankings favour its own services, hitting its rivals' profits. Unbundling cannot be excluded, said Andreas Schwab, a German MEP who is one of the motion's backers."

An anonymous reader writes: Everyone understands by now that ads fund most of the sites on the web. Other sites have put up paywalls or started subscription bonuses, with varying success. Google, one of the web's biggest ad providers, saw a problem with that: it's a huge pain for readers to manage subscriptions for all the sites they visit — often more trouble than it's worth. And, since so few people sign up, the subscription fees have to be pretty high. Now, Google has launched a service called Contributor to try to fix this situation.
The way Contributor works is this: websites and readers can opt in to the service (and sites like Imgur, The Onion, and ScienceDaily already have). Readers then pay a fee of $1-3 per month (they get to choose how much) to gain ad-free access to all participating sites. When the user visits one of the sites, instead of showing a Google ad, Google will just send a small chunk of that subscription money to the website instead.

rossgneumann writes Life gets pretty chill after creating 'Tetris' and escaping the KGB. A quick web search for "Alexey Pajitnov" brings up pages of articles and interviews that fixate only on his seminal creation—a work that remains, far and away, the best selling video game of all time. But clearly, there's more to the man than just Tetris. Meeting Pajitnov himself led me to wonder about, well, everything else. What was the Tetris-less life of Alexey Pajitnov?

New submitter lazarus (2879) writes Apple is falling in line with the European Commission's request that app sellers do more to stop inadvertent in-app purchases. Following Google's lead, Cupertino has removed all instances of the word "free" within its iOS and Mac app stores (with the exception of its own apps, like iMovie), and replaced them with the term "Get." The new label clarifies what users can expect when downloading an app. Apps previously labeled as "Free" will now have a "Get" label. If those apps include in-app purchases, a small gray "In-App Purchase" label will appear below the "Get" button.

Yesterday we ran video #1 of 2 about the Critical Materials Institute (CMI) at the Iowa State Ames Laboratory in Ames, Iowa. They have partners from other national laboratories, universities, and industry, too. Obviously there is more than enough information on this subject that Dr. King can easily fill two 15-minute videos, not to mention so many Google links that instead of trying to list all of them, we're giving you one link to Google using the search term "rare earths." Yes, we know Rare Earth would be a great name for a rock band. But the mineral rare earths are important in the manufacture of items ranging from strong magnets to touch screens and rechargeable batteries, so please watch the video(s) or at least read the transcript(s).

Nerval's Lobster writes Whatever your plans for Thanksgiving, Google can offer some advice: try to avoid driving anywhere the day before. Analysts from the search-engine giant's Google Maps division crunched traffic data from 21 U.S. cities over the past two years and found that the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is by far the worst traffic day that week, with some notable exceptions. (In Honolulu, Providence, and San Francisco, the worst traffic is always on Saturday; in Boston, it's Tuesday.) Unfortunately, Wednesday is often the only available travel day for many Americans—but Google thinks they can beat the worst of the traffic if they leave before 2 P.M. or after 7 P.M. on that day. Traffic on Thanksgiving itself is also light, according to the data. When it comes to driving back home, Sunday beats Saturday from a traffic perspective. According to Google Maps' aggregated trends, Americans also seek out "ham shop," "pie shop," and "liquor store" on the day before Thanksgiving, as they rush to secure last-minute items.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh told Aaron Wilson of the Carroll County Times that quarterback Joe Flacco has looked really good so far in training camp.
"Joe is really on the money, so that's good to see," said Harbaugh.
Flacco has made it clear that he believes he's elite quarterback. It will be up to him in 2012 to step his game up and prove the doubters wrong.

Listen to The Rock live from anywhere
Mike at Night7pm - 10pm weekdays
Rock legend Slash has cemented his legacy after receiving the 2,473rd star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The guitarist unveiled his plaque in front of the Hard Rock Cafe on Hollywood Boulevard on Tuesday, making him the first member of Guns N' Roses ever to be honoured on the historic pavement.
The musician's actor pal Charlie Sheen was on hand to pay tribute to the star and he used the ceremony to poke fun at the icon's former Guns N' Roses bandmate Axl Rose and his own past drug use as he stepped up to the podium to congratulate the axeman.
Sheen told the crowd, "It's quite fitting that Slash is getting a star on the very street Axl Rose will one day be sleeping on... This star is going to be stepped on more than the coke we did in the 80s."
Slash followed the honour ceremony with a private gig at the Hard Rock Cafe.

Ainsley to Return to Preston
Saturday, 2nd Feb 2013 22:29
TWTD understands that Blues right-back Jack Ainsley is set to return to Preston North End for a second trial spell this week. Ainsley, who spent time with Bury last week, was previously at Deepdale a fortnight ago.
The 22-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and seems certain to move on in the summer.
He initially travelled to Preston to train with the League One side in mid-January but was with the Lancastrians only very briefly, Leeds full-back Paul Connolly having joined their squad on loan. However, the Lilywhites are looking for a longer term addition to their squad.
The Felixstowe-born defender, who won England U17 caps as a striker when in the Town academy, was close to joining Capital One Cup finalists Bradford earlier in the season but the move was halted when the change of manager took place at Portman Road with new boss Mick McCarthy keen to look at all the players at his disposal.
Ainsley made his only league start for the Blues against Huddersfield in August and other than that has made only two sub appearances this season, one in the Capital One Cup.
In total, he has made five starts and three sub appearances for the club where both his father George and brother Stuart were previously youth players.
After coming through the ranks of the Town academy, he made his senior debut in the 2009/10 season and has also spent time on loan with Histon and Rushden and Diamonds.
Meanwhile, striker Ronan Murray, who is on loan at Plymouth until the end of the season when his Blues contract is up, says he may have to move on on a permanent basis: "Ipswich Town is a fantastic club. I have been there nearly six years now and I know how big a club it is.
"Ideally I would like to play week in, week out, impress Mick McCarthy and stay there for years to come, but if that does not work then I may have to look elsewhere.
"I wanted to get out and play games and it is nice to know when someone wants you. I have been training every day with the reserves so when the opportunity came along to go to Plymouth, I took it."

A press for treatment of material includes a high pressure chamber formed of a vertical high pressure cylinder having end closures projecting into the cylinder and a press stand with a clear opening which is somewhat greater than the length of the high pressure chamber when the end closures are fully inserted. The high pressure cylinder is mounted on a carrying device which can move it into the clear opening of the press stand with gaps between the press stand and the end closures. One of the end closures is constituted by a piston slidable in the high pressure chamber. This piston has an annular portion which is slidable in an annular space formed at the end of the high pressure cylinder. Fluid under pressure can be supplied to the space on the side of the annular projection facing away from the high pressure cylinder to move the piston into the high pressure chamber and holding it there during movement of the high pressure chamber into the press stand, whereafter such pressure fluid can be released.
1. Press for treating material with a high pressure, comprising a high pressure chamber including a vertical high pressure cylinder (2) having end closures (7,8) projecting into the cylinder (2), a press stand (12) with a clear opening which is somewhat greater than the length of the high pressure chamber when the end closures (7,8) are fully inserted, which stand (12) surrounds the high pressure chamber during the pressing operation and takes up the axial forces which a pressure medium in the pressure chamber exerts on the end closures (7,8), carrying members (1, 3, 4, 5) for the pressure chamber for holding said chamber in such a position that gaps (21,22) are formed between the press stand (12) and the end closures (7,8) of the chamber when the end closures are inserted to their innermost positions in the cylinder, in which a ring (27) is connected to one end of the high pressure chamber and one of the end closures (8) comprises a piston slidable within said ring.
2. Press according to claim 1 having releasable means (8b, 30) for holding the piston in its innermost position.
3. Press according to claim 1, having means at such end of the high pressure cylinder forming an annular space (30) around the piston, the piston having an annular enlargement (8b) slidable in said annular space, and releasable means (31) to supply pressure fluid to said annular space on the side of the enlargement facing away from the high pressure cylinder.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a press with a preferably vertically arranged high pressure chamber having a high pressure cylinder, end closures projecting into this cylinder and a press stand to take up the axial forces exerted on the end closures by a medium under high pressure. Presses of the type mentioned are used, among other things, for isostatic compression of powder bodies, resistance elements, and the like at pressures in the region of 1,000 -- 10,000 bar. The cylinder is charged outside the press stand with components to be treated, and then inserted in the press stand and supplied with pressure medium. The press stand is then removed after treatment and the cylinder is emptied outside the press stand.
2. The Prior Art
With presses of this type, the high pressure chamber with the closures completely inserted must have a shorter length than the clear opening of the press so that the clearance necessary for insertion and withdrawal of the chamber is obtained between the end closures and the press. When the pressure in the chamber is increased, the end closures are first forced out until they come into contact with support surfaces in the press stand and then move only as far as the support surface yields under the load. Because of the friction between the closures and the cylinder, the pressure chamber is still held between the support surfaces of the press stand with a considerable force even when the pressure is removed. This complicates removal of the pressure chamber. The end closures must therefore be returned to their innermost positions in the cylinder so that the clearance between the end closures and the support surfaces which is suitable for moving the press is again obtained. A press with appliances for achieving this insertion of end closures is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,550,199.
In the known press, a piston was built into the end closure or the support of a press stand. The cross-section, taking up the load, in the end closure just below the pressure chamber space was thus reduced, as well as the load-transmitting contact surface of the end closure and the press stand. At relatively low compression pressure, this involves little or no inconvenience. At very high working pressures, for example at working pressures of more than 4000 bar, this involves a considerable inconvenience from the point of view of strength. Similarly, the suspension of a supporting ring for the end closure by means of spring units involves no problems when the diameter of the pressure cylinder is small, but a considerable problem when the diameter of the cylinder is large. There are certain problems in accommodating sufficiently strong or sufficiently many spring units. The new operating mechanism means a simplification which makes the manufacture simpler and less expensive, and which makes it possible to use simpler constructional material.
In the press according to the invention, the mechanism which returns the end closures to their innermost positions is constructed in a new and improved manner.
According to the invention, the lower end closure is constructed so that it forms a piston running in an operating cylinder connected to the high pressure cylinder. The outer part of the lower end closure is constructed with two separate diameters which are surrounded by a ring connected to the high pressure cylinder, the internal diameters of said ring being adjusted to said diameters. An annular shoulder projection is formed on the end closure and the ring at the transition between the different diameters. The shoulder on the end closure forms an annular piston surface. An annular cylinder space is formed between said shoulders, the smaller diameter of the end closures and the larger diameter of the ring. This space is supplied with pressure medium for the insertion of the end closure on the line of the shoulder facing away from the high pressure cylinder.
There is thus provided a releasable means for holding the piston on its innermost position.
The invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a side view of a press having a high pressure chamber which is supported by a stationary pillar and a movable press stand positioned at the side of the high pressure chamber,
FIG. 2 is a side view,
FIG. 3 is a section on the line B -- B in FIG. 2 and
FIG. 4 is a section on a larger scale through the lower part of the high pressure chamber cylinder, the lower end closure and the upper part of the lower yoke of the press stand.
In the figures, 1 designates a stand supporting a high pressure cylinder 2. The stand is provided with two lugs 3 in which a rod 4 is inserted. The cylinder 2 is provided with two lugs 5 having bearing surfaces accommodating the rod 4. The distance between the outer surfaces of the lugs 5 is less than the distance between the inner surfaces of the lugs 3. This means that the cylinder is axially displaceable by a distance which is just as long as the difference in distance between said surfaces. The cylinder normally rests on the lower lug 3, a gap 6 thus being formed between the upper lugs 3 and 5, which makes it possible to adjust the vertical position of the cylinder somewhat in relation to the clear opening of the press stand. The cylinder 2 is closed by an upper end closure 7 and a lower end closure 8 projecting somewhat into the cylinder. The upper end closure is provided with a channel 10 for supply of pressure medium from a pressure medium in a cylinder which is formed by a ring 11. The press contains a displaceable press stand 12 which is supported by wheels 13 running on rails 14 set into the floor 15. The press stand is of the type consisting of an upper yoke 16, a lower yoke 17, and a pair of spacers 18 which are held together by a prestressed strip sheath 19. The press stand is displaced between the positions shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 by means of an operating cylinder 20. The opening of the press stand is somewhat higher than the distance between the end surfaces of the completely inserted end closures. The cylinder is fixed at such a height that the clearances 21 and 22 between the yoke of the press stand and the end closures of the cylinder are approximately of the same size.
As shown in FIG. 4, the lower end closure 8 is formed with an inner part 8a with a diameter to fit in the cylinder 2 and with a slot for a seal 25, a middle portion 8b with a slot for a seal 26 and an outer portion 8c having a smaller diameter than the middle portion 8b. A ring 27 is fastened to the cylinder 2 by bolts. The part 27 a of the ring located nearest to the high pressure cylinder 2 has an inner diameter fitting the middle portion 8b of the end closure, and its lower part 27b has an internal diameter fitting the outer portion 8c of the end closure. In the part 27 there is a slot for a seal 28. The lower end closure 8 thus forms an annular piston and the ring 27 forms a cylinder in which the annular piston runs. The middle portion 8b of the end closure 8 forms an annular piston surface. The space 30 formed by the portions 8b and 8c of the end closure 8 and the cylindrical surface of the ring 27 in the part 27a and the inner plane surface of the part 27b communicates with a pressure medium source (not shown) through a channel 31 and conduits and valves (not shown). In the part 27a there is a radial channel 33 through which the space between the high pressure cylinder 2 and the part 8b communicate with the atmosphere outside the cylinder 2.
The press operates in the following manner. The working space 32 is charged with material, and the upper end closure 7 is inserted into the cylinder 2 so that a closed pressure chamber is formed, after which the press stand is displaced from the position shown in FIG. 1 to the position shown in FIG. 3. During the movement of the stand, the space 30 is kept filled with pressure medium so that the lower end closure is held in its upper or innermost position shown in FIG. 4, so that its lower surface is held at a somewhat higher level than the surface of the lower yoke 17, a gap 22 being provided which allows the stand 12 to be displaced to the position shown in FIG. 3. The upper end closure 7 is inserted into its innermost position so that a gap 21 is formed between this end closure and force-absorbing surface of the upper yoke 16 of the press stand. When the press stand is in the position shown in FIG. 3, the cylinder space 30 is put into communication with a collecting container for pressure medium by way of a valve, so that the pressure can freely flow out of the space 30. By the pressure of the material and pressure medium in the pressure chamber space 32, the lower end closure 8 is pressed downwards till it makes contact with the yoke 17. Pressure medium is now introduced through the channel 10 in the lower end closure 8 in the space 32, which in a first stage is released through the channel 9 in the upper end closure 7. When a valve in the release channel 9 is closed, the pressure in the pressure chamber is raised to the intended treatment level. When the treatment is finished, the pressure chamber is put into connection with a collecting container for pressure medium. At the same time, the lower end closure is raised to its inner position by introducing pressure medium in the cylinder space 30, thus obtaining an upwardly directed force on the annular piston surface of the part 8b. The upper end closure 7 is pressed into its inner position by means of a manipulator (not shown) for handling the end closure. Gaps 21 and 22 are thus again formed between the end closures 7 and 8 and the yokes 16 and 17, so that the stand 12 can be returned unimpededly to the position shown in FIG. 1, the upper end closure can be removed, the treated material can be withdrawn and the pressure chamber can be charged anew.

SPORTS: Volleyball "Digs Purple" On Senior Night
By Emily LaLuna – Sports Editor
Senior Night was more emotional than ever for the Law volleyball team this year.
Law hosted its first "Dig Purple Game" on Wednesday, October 22, in memory of Maren Sanchez. The game also served as the team's Senior Night.
The opponent for Senior Night was crosstown rival Foran, which added another exciting component to the evening.
Freshman Maddie Baldieri opened up the night with an amazing performance of "The National Anthem."
"She did an awesome job," senior Samantha Hudak said "She sounded flawless."
This year's seniors are Kayla Patrick, Megan Gritz, and Martha Smith. They are also the team's Senior Leaders.
"It was our last home game and it was sad to think that I'll never play on this court again," Gritz said.
The girls also honored Foran's seniors: Ashley Mendillo, Janae Owen, Jenna Zacharelli, and Kayla Ellis.
To fit the game's "Dig Purple" theme, everyone who attended wore purple. The team also sold purple T-shirts and purple signs were hung around the gym.
On the back on the shirt was a quote that read, "Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather an opening where you are shining down to let us know you are happy." Underneath the quote were the words, "We love you, Maren."
The game had a lot of meaning to the players and the crowd. The game took place following dedication of Maren's Memory Garden.
"Knowing that the game was dedicated to Maren, we wanted to play our hearts out for her," Patrick said.
The game was challenging for the Eagles, who lost 3-0 despite playing a very close third set.
"It being our last game, and more importantly our last time ever playing Foran, it was sad, but I'm proud that we put up a good fight," Patrick said.
Law ended their season with a record of 3-17, which included one win over Stratford and two wins against Hillhouse.
