How sweet is that?
He's breached 47.35% 🙂
PBO 65,285,547 #Mitt47 60,674,072 PBO 50.93% #Mitt47 47.33%
Margin 4,611,472 (we've got a real shot at >5M!!)
Wonder if he'll hit 47.10 😀 😀
Now that's a compliment!!! Thanks nath. Very much appreciate all your insights and support!
Thanks sailor, and thank you, again, for your video gift to all of us and to the First Family!
I think you, Chips, and all our TOD friends will like the graphic in that tweet, above, btw 🙂
Thank you VC, and, as promised, I was on my way back to the earlier thread but you appeared here, all on your own 🙂
😀 You remembered? Aaaawww! {{Bobfr}} [Mrs, Bobfr will understand, I;m sure.]
W-e-e-ll, we can't be picking on him ALL the time; he'll get shy and possibly depressed…. and probably immune! /in exasperation/ I shouldn't be telling you this, Chips! You ought to know the occasional bit of niceness will keep him off-guard…….then ……. Zap!**
It's been a while Bob, reckoned late-Saturday was a good time to dust it down 🙂
Perfection … will be thinking about as I start to prepare dinner, soon 🙂
How about another oldie, Hey! Sure Amk & Yardam would like it. My all-time favorite! Also to celebrate Tally's win.
Chips, my dear, you are such a sweetheart! Thanks for giving me this timely new thread so that I don't have to struggle my way through all FOUR threads I missed today! I can just start unwrapping this gift along with everyone else, AND what a gift it is too! Now I know you really love me. 😉
"…. so that I don't have to struggle my way through all FOUR threads I missed today"
You slacker!!!!
I tried too, VC, but then found I missed the opening on this one by over half an hour, and now I am losing the ground game… But I went looking for you, to say Hey! Goodnight, everyone, sweet dreams TOD. {{{{{{Chipsticks}}}}}} I love our President and First Lady so much, I think I will cry for a while, from sheer joy and happiness of what they are sacrificing to be there for us! My word. They are so beautiful to me! 🙂
Sweet dreams, Pamela. I'll be following very soon as I'm actually really tired.
The more times one watches Inception, the more it blows one's mind. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who hasn't seen it. There is nothing wrong with the movie. NOTHING. The plot is insanely awesome, the actors are brilliant, the dialogue is spot on, the visuals, graphics, images, fight sequences, dream sequences, are just blow your brains out A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
I know Christopher Nolan always delivers top-notch movies like Memento, The Prestige, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight rises; but he tore the roof down with Inception. I want a day in his mind and Tim Burton's mind.
Has anyone else noticed that the media are trying to imbue Kelly Ayotte with some kind of influence and staying power, just as they did with the Palin, despite all evidence to the contrary? Looks like they're going to try and set her up to be somebody significant – maybe with an eye towards 2016 (when she's up for re-election), regardless of the fact that the only woman holding a leadership position the Republican party is a glorified administrative assistant (no offense intended to administrative assistants – but only highlighting that all operational committee chairs of consequence are being held by white men)? Kelly Ayotte should be a laughing stock by now after joining the two stooges in their unfounded and embarrassing witch hunt against Ambassador Rice. Instead – I see headlines calling her an "influential new voice" for the GOP. Back down the rabbit hole, I guess…
Have no fear..those MSM endeavors usually backfire. They tried that with Rick Perry last year. Where is Rick now?
Thanks for the reassurance. I just can't live through another Palin debacle.
Yes, theo, have noticed and nearly choked with laughter. The #NEWSTAINERS are a source of cheap humor, nothing else.
Up until becoming the third member of the three stooges I had never heard of Kelly Ayotte. Let's remember this is the same stupid ass media who did all they could to convince us that Mitt Romney had a real chance of winning the election. Including of convincing people that Mitt won that first debate. Ayotte will regret he decision to go after Amb. Rice.
Nah. They never seem to regret a thing. But she should. It's not appealing to be known as McCain's puppet.
Palin regretted talking to the media (fox news excluded and not real media) – Kelly Ayotte will discover the same – they never regret what they say – but they do regret saying it. Dumb is recorded – it doesn't disappear.
*Dumb is recorded* – yes, over and over again. But they are too dumb to understand that, of course.
No, think another NH Senator the President tapped for Commerce?
Apparently, he wants that seat, and he loses nothing by putting a Republican in a National security spot. Keeps her near Him and under his Purview.
The only Senator I know tapped for Commerce was Judd Gregg. I can't imagine that the President wants anymore to do with him, and Kelly Ayotte doesn't pose any actual issue for President Obama other than being a pain in the butt, and a darling for the media.Given the recent voting results in New Hampshire, she doesn't have much time left in her political career in NH – her only other option is to try and go national. And her recent dalliance with McCain and Graham makes her look stupid, but crazy enough to keep the media entertained..
A dam joke which is not funny. Is jovie141 saying Ayotte is on a short list to be head of the CIA, list up…..I DON'T BELIEVE IT. There are many more qualified people around than that Ayotte.
Even a rock would be more qualified that Ayotte. I wouldn't get too worried over this one.
Well, this guy seems to think it might happen-
Maybe you should tweet him?
Tweeting someone who can come up with such a ridiculous theory is a waste of any thinking person's time.
jovie141, I could be wrong and if I am I will surely admit it, but I don't believe Kelly Ayotte will be head of the CIA. No way. Remember there were some media folks telling us that Romney could win the election. Let me see, how did that turn out?
Chipsticks, thank you for that goldie oldie, I have not seen it in long while.
Mines too theo67. I love that song. Anyone know the name of the guy singing it.
His name is Chester See. When Chips first posted the video, he left a comment that he was happy for his video to be used for this video of President Obama – so I'm a forever fan!
Oh, Chips, every second of that was just dreamy. And yet there was still time for a chuckle seeing the other two guys on their elevator trying to divert their eyes. Thanks!
Any doubt about the leverage PBO and Leader Pelosi have ….
Keep it in his face, dear friends, unrelentingly ….
bbl … off to the kitchen … 😉
Hey Chips. I almost forgot about that video. It's so sweet. I've probably watched it a million times.
Congratulations Bobfr on First!
Chipsticks – that video just transports me back to THAT DAY and I cry all over again
I know jacquelineoboomer, but the FIRST ONE will always have a special place in my heart and mind. And I am looking forward to the SECOND ONE 🙂
Nothing will top the first ones, you are right. Love how they have to go from site to site, and dance briefly at each Inaugural Ball.
I know the world is waiting to see what FLOTUS will be wearing on Inauguration Day.
BO OBAMA – THE PAWS THAT REFRESHES (This dog is so darn cute. This video just makes me melt.)
Bo Inspects the 2012 White House Holiday Decorations (850,417 views)
I was watching Ed show Friday and he was showing Bo Christmas video, but then he made a big mistake he showed Barney video, you know G.W's dog. He can't compare to Bo. No way, no how. Our Bo could take the Oscar from Lassie.
He's all dressed up in his fine tux. These Obamas. Always dressed for the occasion.
Remember when Bo was walking up the steps to Air Force One, then he stop and look back, I almost expected him to wave by by like POTUS does.
Bo is a ham and the camera loves him. He's just delicious in every way. He always looks perfectly groomed. I can't help but think of Teddy when I see Bo. That was such a sweet gift for the girls. You just know they are crazy about him.
Oh Chips, these video's bring tears to my eyes. Such love there. We are so blessed. Thank you. These have been perfect for a Saturday night.
CONGRATULATIONS L.A. GALAXY….I know our lovely Tally was doing cartwheels all the way home!
I happened to watch some of it on TV and I wondered where Tally was sitting. I know she is so happy. I have never been a soccer fan except when the boys were young. It is fun to follow it thru the eyes of the TOD faithful.
President Obama is seeking an Aug. 1 deadline for overhauling the tax code and making changes to expensive federal health programs, the final pieces of what the administration conceives as a far-reaching plan to rein in the national debt, senior administration officials said Friday.
The proposed deadline was included in a plan Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner delivered to Capitol Hill on Thursday as Obama's opening bid in talks with congressional Republicans to avert the year-end "fiscal cliff."
That plan generally mirrors previous deficit-reduction plans Obama has submitted to Congress. In all, it would reduce borrowing over the next decade by $4.5 trillion, officials said. However, Obama is proposing to dedicate about $200 billion of those savings to new measures to boost the sluggish economy, including additional unemployment benefits and extension of a temporary payroll tax cut for most workers.
August 1st???
Fiscal 2014 budget, jovie. The President is playing them in so many dimensions, at once, those who are challenged with even basic arithmetic and calendaring are going to be challenged beyond anything that has ever happened to them in their entire life.
In more succinct terms, the mofo's heads will be spinning and they finally have to get off their lazy asses and do some work. PBO is a whirlwind that is coming for them.
Music vid of Pbo and Flotus is awesome. I just cannot get over how much I love them as a couple. I have never seen so much love between a President and his wife, the First Lady. It is a thing of beauty to behold. Please more vids like this. I love them.
I told my 25 year old daughter…when I see a man look at her like our President looks at Michelle…well then I will know he is the one.
The way his face lights up, relaxes and feels safe in the eyes/arms of his love. You can't fake that.
Completely off topic: I cannot wait for "Les Miserables" this Christmas. I just think this is going to be an EPIC masterpiece. I lived in London in the early 90's, and I used to walk through Piccadilly Circus every day to get to work and see the billboard for Les Miserables, and I kicked myself many years later that I never tried to go and see it. And the movie just looks like it is going to surpass every expectation in authenticity and talent. I just can't wait!
It's likely to be a masterpiece, theo, and I so regret you weren't able to see it in those London years of the early 90's. But, you have NOW!! Go for it!!
Beautiful. The shot where he's taking the oath of office with President Lincoln's inaugural bible. Just powerful!
Greetings TODville! Hello to our Blog Mistress Chips! You are simply amazing! I add my thanks to the multitude of thanks constantly expressed in this community of your creation. Great golden oldies! I've always enjoyed viewing them. Just delurking to add one of my favorites to the mix. I hope this works: http://youtu.be/RPYMaF2vAmg
One more try. If it doesn't post, then I give up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPYMaF2vAmg&feature=fvsr
Pardon me…. *golden oldie*… singular, not plural. Always a mistake. That's why I'm on this site daily, but I lurk most of the time. 😀
Ignore me lmrj, I'm experimenting to see if your link will open up' if I fiddle with the ending letters. It probably won't, but at least I'll know..
Fixed it for you VC! Not sure why it didn't work first time, but there were a few spaces in the line before the YouTube url – so that might have been it!
Aaah! Thanks, CC! Step by SLOW step for some of us techie-challenged types whose (weak) will to learn definitely stands in the way.
Don't thank me, lmrj. It didn't work for me (silly chips-partisan video)! By the time I'm un-addicted to TOD, I'm sure I'll be far more technologically adept. 🙄
Beautiful video. I'm so happy for them both, that they have this love to keep them strong. Goodnight & sweet dreams.
I'm up early on Sunday watching all of these old videos plus the one of Bo and the Christmas trees – I've watched that like 30 billion times 😀 I also saw for the first time the President and the Hovercraft. I loved that and at the end he asked if they had a rocket launcher….too funny
Goooooooooooooood Morning …MssssChipsssssss….GM TODvillle….
planning to watch the Kennedy Honors tonight….
That's the most beautiful video I've ever seen! made me cry. FLOTUS is the luckiest woman in the world to have that man's love. She's the only woman in the world I would ever want to trade places with.
Bruce Bartlett is killing it on Up With Chris. He was Reagan's budget guy and has been advocating for a while about raising taxes on the wealthy. He gets pissed at republicans who pretend that Reagan never raised taxes eleven times. He is taking on Veronique de Rugy's GOP BS and lobbing it right back at her. It is must see TV.
She was spinning nonsense about how raising taxes on the wealthy will screw the economy and Bartlett jumped in and told her "Your ideas are so goddamn dogmatic!!!" The universe froze for five seconds. 😀
Tim Geithner does a nice job in interviews, a very loyal servant of this President. Personally, I think he is a bit to close to the Banks, but that is part of the mandate if Sec of Treasury.
So, he is alright in my Book, because he is very reasonable.
Then Why do the Emoprogs hate Him so?

Intrinsic muscles of back
Muscles fully contained (origin, belly, and insertion) within and acting on the back; these muscles occur as the deepest of three groups of back muscles, the superficial and intermediate groups consisting of extrinsic muscles innervated by anterior rami of spinal nerves. The intrinsic back muscles, in turn, are organized into three layers: a superficial layer of splenius muscles, an intermediate layer of erector spinae muscles, and a deep layer of transversospinal muscles, all innervated by posterior rami of spinal nerves.

There's a fire on
Junk Island, where,
They send their garbage
Is anybody listening?
After work we'll watch
the seagulls, diving in
And out of the lashing towers of flame
It twinkles like a pile
of rotting jewels, left
to bake in the sun
Is anybody listening?
We're just like those condom wrappers:
Used up, torn up, thrown away
And we're just like yesterday's headlines:
Drifting, floating, towards the blaze
We're scrapped valentines,
We're tangerine rinds,
We're crimes, crimes, crimes, crimes, crimes
Ink, watercolor, acrylics, markers, and mix it all up!

Most HDTVs available these days are full 1080p instead of being just HD ready. Now there are rumors that Apple may be bringing 1080p movies to iTunes, so does this mean also a new Apple TV may be incoming.
So far Apple users have to mainly make do with 720p content but according to an article on AppleInsider, sources are claiming Apple may bring 1080p content to iTunes by this fall. Apple has so far avoided the chance of having Blu-ray players on its Macs, which Steve Jobs has put down to licensing complications and added it could translate into a "bag of hurt".
According to sources a collection of movies which are set for release onto the iTunes Store around September and October, are being sent with documentation for an optional 1920 x 1080 resolution or full HD.
A film from 20th Century Fox was thought to have arrived with encoding options for standard definition, 720p, and a third format which was listed as HD+. A few other new releases from two of the big five film studios have been submitted with optional resolutions of 1920 x 1080, and also an average bitrate of 10,000 kbps.
The same sources have said a new version of the Apple TV could be under development which will be able to push out 1080p. The current model can accept 1080p content but reduces it down to 720p because of the current processor, the new version is rumored to be getting Apple's A5 chip.
This comes just a few weeks after early versions of iOS 5 were found to have a new video player which will be capable of displaying and syncing 1080p content to the iPad 2. The iPad 2 was the first product to receive the new A5 chip, and it could also bring 1080p playback capabilities to future iPhones, and other products.
When asked if Apple had the ability to start serving 1080p video files to the public, people who are close to the company's distribution partners said Apple already has such technology. The biggest challenge will be on the consumer side when they choose to stream the massive files 1080p content contain.
The average connection speed in the US is around 5.1 megabits which is about half the speed needed to stream 1080p content without having to wait for a long period. Residents in the UK also have a patchy internet connection in certain areas.
Do you hope Apple starts to offer 1080p content on its iTunes Store?

Tracklist: Mark Sixma feat. Emma Hewitt Live @ New Year Day, Central Pier, Melbourne, Australia (01-01-2016)
TANG Events is proud to present…Dash Berlin on New Years Day, 2016 @ Shed 14, Central Pier, Melbourne, Australia!
Dash Berlin (Australia Tour)
Australia's love affair with Dash Berlin is set to continue. After numerous sold out global tours, the Dutchman's confirmed that he's heading back our way for an exclusive New Year's Eve tour.
Started in 2007, Dash Berlin is a Dutch music project. The effervescent front man and DJ of the group, Jeffrey Sutorius, became the 7th most prevalent DJ in the world according to DJ Mag in 2012 as has been rocking the top 15 of the world's most popular DJ's till this day.
Dash has also been nominated for the best European DJ category at the IDMA's, won the DJ Mag Top 100 Award for highest new entry, and created his own record label, Aropa. In 2012, he released the now celebrated and classic second artist album on Aropa, titled #musicislife.
However, the breakthrough came in early 2007 with Till the Sky Falls Down as the track whizzed to the top of the global dance charts, thanks in part to paramount Dash admirer Armin van Buuren including the track on his acclaimed Universal Religion mix album. Van Buuren subsequently signed Dash Berlin to his
Dash's tracks Waiting (featuring Australian singer Emma Hewitt), Man On The Run, Better Half of Me, Till The Sky Falls Down, Steal you Away and many others cemented his reputation as an icon of the
So there you have it, Australia – Dash Berlin's promising to bring fans a rotation of chart-topping hits, fan favourites and new tracks, with top-notch production all the way. The prolonged status of Dash's current "We Are" album will guarantee that Dash Berlin's Australian tour will be another mammoth sound and visual extravaganza and one hell of a way to welcome 2016.

Tell the ACOE to removing notching of the jetties from their plan until they can provide evidence
of its impact. Public comments can be submitted by email to firstname.lastname@example.com until Tuesday, March 25.
...if you showed up to tonights protest in Monmouth County good on ya! Solid turnout, mainly fishermen but a handful of concerned surfers. On a personal note, I feel as if the fishermen are really a mobilized group around here. Unlike the majority of surfers, they are not apathetic. NJ surfers need to be more proactive (myself included). Please get the word out, send those emails, or there may not be anything left for you to ride let alone discuss on this forum. I understand that many of you feel as if it is a lost cause and your voices will not be heard but you do matter! Sitting around and complaining about it, without being proactive instead of reactive post replenishment will not do us any good. Thank you for your consideration.

Stop nj beach replenishment and jetty notching!!!!!
Mar 22, 2014, 12:47 AM #2
fishermen stick together,they have their own tribe.surfers have too much ego and don't want to be friendly or cooperate in important matters like br.br definitely screws up the fishing
I pulled up at 552. Missed the big moment. But I was able to get the email and online petition info of a dude who lives right on deal lake and loch arbor.

Rather than fighting replenishment. Why not fight HOW they replenish so it doesn't affect surf breaks. Truth of the matter is you destroyed your coastlines natural replenishment by overdeveloping and rising seas due to climate change(natural and man made). So now you either have to replenish some spots or there will be no beach and no waves to surf. It will just smash into rocks/sea wall that would eventually have to be built.
Here's a classic example of beach erosion in matunuck
One of the facebook commenters said it best "State and local government's should not be burdened with the added expense of maintaining seawalls for residents that have chosen to live or own vacation homes in hurricane prone areas."
Ocean mist during a storm:
Ocean mist regularly:
images (1).jpg
There used to be a BIG BEACH there. Now nothing. Waves just slam into rocks/onto the tiny bit of sand that is left. Matunuck point break is a different spot and is a rock reef. Don't confuse the two.
That area had a history of flooding FOR A LONG time before anything was built due to rising seas in the area, yet they decided to build homes on stilts. The combination of destroying natural salt marshes that replenish beaches with sand as well as a rising sea in areas of the east coast is the cause of this.Last edited by shark-hunter; Mar 22, 2014 at 01:23 AM.

thank you for sharing shark hunter. are you from nj? if so you should make some suggestions to the email address listed above. if not, what do you see as being a more effective means of replenishment?
Mar 22, 2014, 01:05 PM #6
I would've definitely went to that protest if I knew about it.....

No I'm not for nj.
There's ways to replenish by using the correct grain of sand and filling a beach "not straight". They tend to use grains of sands that won't be pulled out into sandbars.(they still get destroyed in big storms though). The wave action will pull in sand from off the beach. By not straight, I mean fill the beach so it's not completely parrallel. That's the way a natural beach is and make for great waves and more safe non steep beaches. The type of beach that is always high tide and you take 2 steps in you're in neck deep water has no sandbar. It's been wiped out by bad replenishment. It causes a shore pound conditions which is dangerous and less fun to swim and play in the waves as well.
The army corp does not care one iota about anything other than property protection for mostly the wealthy beachfront homeowners. Even it costs the same they wouldn't bother. That's where protesting is effective. Make them care and then they will replenish while still taking into account preserving sandbars.Last edited by shark-hunter; Mar 22, 2014 at 03:36 PM.

That article is absolutely true. Most of the delaware surf breaks have been destroyed from replenishment projects over the past decade. Its not just about replenishing or not replenishing, its about how they go about the replenishment, the type of sand they are using, etc, etc...
The decision makers overlook how the replenishment effects the surf zone, which is mistake, not only for surfers, but for all beach goers who enjoy playing in the waves. In Delaware, we are now acutely aware of better practices of replenishment that are more conducive for sandbar formation and such. Talk to Surfrider and have them correspond with the Delaware Chapter who has been through this all.

ARPA-E to award up to $20M for technologies for primary domestic processing of light metals (Al, Mg, Ti); vehicle lightweighting
22 March 2013
The US Department of Energy's (DOE's) Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) has issued a Funding Opportunity Announcement (DE-FOA-0000882) for up to $20 million for the Modern Electro/Thermochemical Advancements for Light-metal Systems (METALS) program. METALS is to support the development of innovative technologies for cost-effective processing and recycling of aluminum, magnesium and titanium (Al, Mg and Ti).
ARPA-E also last week issued a Funding Opportunity Announcement (DE-FOA-0000881) for up to $20 million to fund the development of bioconversion technologies to convert methane into liquid fuels. (Earlier post.)
Light metals background. The light metals Al, Mg and Ti can play a significant enabling role in future energy savings across a wide range of applications, including, but not limited to: transportation, power production, industrial processing, and structures. With their high strength-to-weight ratios, these metals can enable lighter, fuel efficient vehicles with no reduction in performance or safety.
Strength, energy, emissions, cost, and density of Al, Mg and steel | ||||
Aluminum | Magnesium | Steel | ||
Strength-to-Weight Ratio (kN·m/kg) | 130 | 158 | 38 | |
Processing Energy (kWh/kg) | Hall-Heroult: 56 | Western Electrolytic: 43.6 Pidgeon Process: 102 |
6.4 | |
Theoretical Minimum Energy (kWh/kg) | 7.5 | 5.8 | 2.4 | |
Emissions (kgCO2/kg) | Hall-Heroult: 22 |
Western Electrolytic: 6.9 Pidgeon Process: 37 |
2.3 | |
Domestic Production Cost ($/kg) | 2.00 | 3.31 | 0.47 | |
Density (kg/m3) | 2700 | 1800 | 7870 |
Strength, energy, emissions, cost, and density of Ti and S. steel | ||||
Titanium | Stainless steel (Type 304) |
Strength-to-Weight Ratio (kN·m/kg) | 120 | 77 | ||
Processing Energy (kWh/kg) | Kroll Process: 100 | 21 | ||
Theoretical Minimum Energy (kWh/kg) | 4.7 | n/a | ||
Emissions (kgCO2/kg) | Kroll Process: 36 | 6.8 | ||
Domestic Production Cost ($/kg) | Sponge: 9.00 | 2.40 | ||
Density (kg/m3) | 4500 | 8030 |
Titanium has superb native corrosion resistance, while aluminum is typically alloyed with magnesium to give it more ductility, weldability, and corrosion resistance.
The higher cost of aluminum and magnesium relative to steel is a barrier to adoption in many applications. Similarly, while titanium has the potential to compete with 304 stainless steel in many applications, cost is also a barrier. In order to achieve the large energy reductions that is possible with greater use of magnesium and aluminum, the primary processing of light metals must reach parity with steel on cost, energy consumption, and CO2 emissions, ARPA-E says. Radical new approaches to the processing of light metals are needed to reach parity with steel (Mg and Al) and stainless steel (Ti).
ARPA-E has calculated the cost, energy, and emissions intensities for aluminum and magnesium that would give parity to parts made from steel and for those required for titanium to reach parity with stainless steel. The steel equivalent cost, energy, and emission intensities for the light metals provide the benchmark performance targets for light metal production, and are the basis for the establishment of the cost targets for Al, Mg, and Ti in the FOA.
Energy, emissions, and cost requirements for parity with steel and stainless steel | ||||||
Aluminum | Magnesium | Titanium | ||||
Current | Steel parity | Current | Steel parity | Current | S.S. parity | |
Energy (kWh/kg) | 56 | 20.2 | 43.6 | 27.3 | 100 | 35 |
Emissions (kgCO2/kg) | 22 | 7.3 | 6.9 | 9.8 | 36 | 11.3 |
Cost ($/kg) | 2.00 | 1.47 | 3.31 | 1.98 | 9.00 | 4.01 |
METALS objectives. The METALS program seeks to provide the technical underpinnings for a disruptive impact in the domestic light metals manufacturing industry and accelerate the adoption of light metals in energy relevant applications. The emphasis is on domestic production, ARPA-E notes—due to the energy intensive nature of light metals, importing these metals is equivalent to importing embedded energy, which runs counter to the US goal of reducing energy imports.
The existing bulk production processes for aluminum (Bayer and Hall-Heroult), magnesium (Pidgeon), and titanium (Kroll) have been in industrial practice for many decades. These processes are mature on the learning curve, and their further advancement to provide the cost, energy, and emissions intensity benchmarks...do not appear to be on the horizon.
Therefore, new pathways for light metal processing and the management of energy throughout them need to be considered. Some alternative approaches that are potentially disruptive to the current practice for light metal processing are now presented as possible avenues for research and development: chemical pathways, energy inputs, heat-recovery/energy-storage/thermal-management, alternative ore feedstocks, and advanced sorting for recycling. These are not meant to be prescriptive, nor should they limit the response to this FOA.
The FOA specifies two categories of interest:
Category 1. Transformative routes to produce primary Al, Mg, and/or Ti (powder, including Titanium Hydride powder), that provide significant reductions to cost, energy, and emissions.
Preference will be given to concepts that allow for one or more of the following: variable energy inputs; renewable energy inputs; high temperature heat capture; high temperature thermal storage; and utilization of domestically abundant ores.
Category 2. Transformative technologies that enable rapid, precision, and automated sorting of Al, Mg, and Ti alloy scrap. Integrated sorting technologies and high efficiency secondary light metal production processes that enable finished product from recycled scrap are also of interest.
Specifically not of interest are melting technologies; casting technologies; power generation technologies (available technologies for power generation will be assumed, but not funded by ARPA-E through this program); processes that are not amenable to start-up and shut-down cycles; recycling/secondary production technologies that only offer energy efficiency advantages without also incorporating advanced sorting technologies; and solid oxide membrane electrochemical processes for magnesium.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference ARPA-E to award up to $20M for technologies for primary domestic processing of light metals (Al, Mg, Ti); vehicle lightweighting:
The cost target of $1.50/Kg for Al has already been reached. China will have the capability to produce Al @ about $1.00/Kg soon and so will many other places.
Improved Al alloys could be used to make lighter vehicles in the very near term.
Improved plastic composites, re-enforced with NCC or graphene, will replace Al in the not too distant future.
Al should be the easiest target to hit for the Auto industry. Most of the "heavy" parts such as engine blocks/heads, transmission cases, various subframe structural components have been made from it since the mid to late 90s.
We in America have a vast resource on tap, Al beverage cans, the likes of which no other nation has. Not to mention cars here are about 95%+ recycled/reused, most parts are used as is, the rest are refurbished/remanufactured, the rest sadly have to be melted down then reused, but when that happens, what was a car, is usually an empty steel husk void of anything of value.(also, cars are made from recycled consumer materials, plastic bottles, cans, glass, industry yarns ect. as recycling has a huge cost benefit over digging up new ore)
If the nation as a whole recycled Al cans as fervently as they do cars there wouldn't be an issue of costs for aluminum.

Richard Cohen Channels MoDo
That's the (correct) conclusion of Stephen Green of Vodkapundit fame, as he catches Cohen adopting the Dowd method of column writing: take two things completely unrelated, throw them together as if they are, and try to extricate yourself by column's end. It doesn't work for Dowd, and of course, Cohen isn't up to the challenge, either. Cohen's column also caught the eye of the great Mark Steyn; you can read all about it here (hat tip to Viking Pundit)...

NZ King Salmon Welcomes EPA Decision
08 November 2011NEW ZEALAND - New Zealand King Salmon is pleased its application for increased water space in the Marlborough Sounds has been deemed a project of national significance.
In August the company applied to the Environmental Protection Authority for planning permission to sustainably expand operations in the Marlborough Sounds. The EPA has recommended to the government that the application should proceed to a Board of Inquiry.
If successful, the company believes it can double production in three to five years in support of the aquaculture industry's target of $1 billion in sales by 2025 and create 120 new jobs in the region.
New Zealand King Salmon CEO Grant Rosewarne welcomes the Board of Inquiry process saying it is very robust.
"Anyone can make a submission and we believe it is the best way to examine the scientific aspects involved in establishing new farms and the social and environmental issues that need to be considered."
"The Environmental Protection Authority requires us to prepare very comprehensive evidence and submissions. The Board of Inquiry process is not cheap for us but it does enable anyone to have a say. The EPA will appoint a friend of submitters to facilitate that process."
Mr Rosewarne says the total amount of space involved in the company's application is very small – about 0.1 per cent of the total Sounds surface area.
"Few agricultural industries have the ability to create such significant export income from such a small amount of space, with a low, localised environmental impact. We look forward to presenting our plans to the Board of Inquiry."

http://www.archos.com/products/gamep...lang=en&slider It's now available in the UK/Europe (although sold out atm) I'm considering a couple as gifts. The price is attractive although my knowledge about all things Archos/Android is limited to say the least. What is the general consensus here, will you be buying one.. why or why not?
I have an Archos 28 media player which is mostly a paperweight. I am not sure if this qualifies as off brand but it is a bit cheap to be confident about it
I've got an older archos tablet and although the battery has seen better days it still works ok.. use it primarily as an ebook reader. I'm getting a Nexus 10 for christmas off the missus but this would be canny for my little boy

Responsive design has a reputation for having slower performance compared to device-specific sites, but that doesn't mean responsive sites have to be slow. Time Magazine is an example of a large (and image-heavy) site that's made the move to responsive and not only performs fast, but has even improved desktop performance (vs. its pre-responsive state).
One advantage of maintaining a separate mobile-specific site with its own code base is it gives you the ability to strip out content, features and design elements that you don't need in the mobile context. Responsive sites use one HTML file, but mobile browsers have to tackle the same HTML file as a desktop site. A responsive site must avoid running certain scripts, downloading certain images and using certain CSS that are incompatible or can slow page load speed down. It must also take care to use as many website optimization hacks as possible.
3 things that Time cites as key to their responsive performance success:
- Performance was top priority. Early responsive designs loaded painfully slow because design was the focus, and performance an afterthought. Knowing that performance lag is the biggest downside of going responsive, and making performance top priority ensures that responsive's ROI is not eroded by slow loading content.
- Creatives and developers held hands. Photography is paramount to the Time brand, and no sacrifice to image quality could be made. Time's photo team worked closely with the responsive team to optimize photography workflows. "There was definitely an improvement in performance of photos on the site as the process went on. We started to incorporate different techniques into our processes so that we could maintain the extremely high level of quality around photos and photo galleries to keep performance optimized across devices."
- Performance was tested. Time understood that site traffic will scale up. The responsive build today may be able to handle today's traffic, but it must hold as traffic scales up. With rigorous QA testing, Time was actually able to improve site performance across the board.
There are more pros and cons to the responsive vs. mobile-specific site evaluation. Want to learn more? Join our webinar with Mobify Is Responsive Web Design Right for Your Business? on Tuesday, July 30 at 10AM PT / 1PM ET. This is a LIVE webinar and space is limited!

Raising the Bar - The Future of Fine Chocolate
Nov 13, 2012 - 3:36:18 PM
(HealthNewsDigest.com) - This month marks the last minute production rush for the fine flavor chocolate industry. Unlike mass producers, top tier chocolatiers cannot make their products six months to a year in advance in order to prepare for the busy holiday season. Fine artisan chocolate products feature fresh ingredients and do not contain preservatives; therefore, their short shelf life often results in grueling hours for chocolatiers and distributors.
"Chocolatiers and chocolate makers in the fine chocolate industry are working overtime to keep up with demand as Christmas approaches," says Pam Williams, president of Ecole Chocolate Professional School of Chocolate Arts. "Fine flavor manufacturers are selling to a generation that wants pleasure fast."
This is one of the many challenges that the fine chocolate industry is currently facing, which Williams and her co-author Jim Eber are educating consumers about in their new book, Raising The Bar: The Future of Fine Chocolate (Wilmor Publishing Corporation; October 2012), by documenting the global journey from cacao gene and cocoa bean to chocolate bar and bonbon. This book looks at the future of the world's finest chocolate as seen through the eyes of people who live chocolate every day and strive to preserve its richest, most complex and endangered forms for future generations.
In order to convey the reality that the best tasting chocolates in the world are poised for extinction, Williams's and Eber's book explains the merits of fine chocolate products and the specific processes necessary to achieve these delicious treats that are in such high demand around the holidays. Raising The Bar serves as the voice of the conscientious chocolate makers around the world and helps readers discern the true chocolate artisans.
"Consumers must understand the amount of work that goes into producing quality cocoa if it is to survive in the future," says Williams.
According to ABC News, the demand for chocolate increases by about 2.5 to 3 percent annually, which means about four million more tons of cocoa are needed every year. Since the average American eats around 11 pounds of chocolate in a year, and more chocolate is consumed in winter than any other season, the annual gains for Christmas chocolate sales are expected to continue many years to come.
While chocolate flying around the room may seem like a dream to most consumers, the weeks leading up to December are more of a nightmare for chocolatiers who are trying to produce last minute orders and ship the last of their products for the year. Retail clients of these artisans often underestimate holiday sales and end up requesting last minute shipments and overnight deliveries. As difficult as it may be to turn out product under such pressure, fine chocolatiers are hard pressed to say no when a large portion of their yearly sales are made between the months of October and December thanks to gift-giving season.
In Raising The Bar, Parisian chocolate artist Patrick Roger reflects on how process is often not important to his customers during the holiday rush, only the chocolate is: "At my shop in Sceaux, there are 700 customers a day at Christmas who are buying my little chocolates. All the ingredients are listed, but this doesn't mean anything to them. I have the refined palate that I pass on to them. I am the one who must guarantee the quality of my work."
A disconnect exists between cocoa bean farmers, chocolate manufacturers and consumers purchasing the finished product: consumers do not see all the work being done from the ground up, and few consider the origin of the bean when eating chocolate.
These are just some of the factors keeping cocoa beans the most highly undervalued fruit crop in the world, but the chocolate experts featured in Raising The Bar are helping consumers understand the importance of demanding more fresh alternatives to shelf-stable supermarket chocolates year-round and not just around the holiday gift-giving season.
About Raising The Bar:
Co-authors Pam Williams and Jim Eber educate and entertain through interviews with the world's top chocolate experts, and scientists from the Cocoa Research Unit and the USDA weigh in with the latest in genetic research. Discussions cover almost every fine flavor growing region including stories and interviews from Ecuador, Bolivia, Columbia, The Dominican Republic, Madagascar, Peru, Southeast Asia, Costa Rica, and more.
Williams has been involved in the industry since 1981 and founded Ecole Chocolat Professional School of Chocolate Arts in 2003. Most recently, she has been instrumental in promoting the Heirloom Cacao Preservation Initiative (HCP), a partnership between the Fine Chocolate Industry Association and the USDA's Agricultural Research Service to create the first-ever genotype map with a focus on flavor cacao trees. Along with Eber, a veteran writer and collaborator specializing in food and business marketing, Williams has indeed raised the bar, and our awareness, of the promises and pitfalls ahead for fine flavor chocolate, while unwrapping the possibilities for the millions and millions of us who believe that life without the very best chocolate is no life at all.

Wisconsin Energy increases dividend 13%
Wisconsin Energy Corp. raised its dividend 13% Thursday and announced a policy that could pave the way for more dividend increases in the next several years.
In recent years, the Milwaukee-based parent company of We Energies has been moving to bring its dividends in line with its peers in the utility industry. Dividends were cut more than a decade ago to help raise money to finance construction of new power plants.
As signaled last month, Wisconsin Energy will increase its dividend by 4 cents to 34 cents a share. The dividend is payable March 1 to shareholders of record on Feb. 14.
In another move, Wisconsin Energy affirmed a policy that calls for the company to reach a dividend payout ratio of 60% of earnings in 2014. It also adopted a policy that targets a dividend payout ratio approaching 65% to 70% of earnings in 2017.
"This revised policy is consistent with our key financial goals: to maintain strong 'A' category credit ratings at our utilities and fund new investment opportunities without issuing additional shares of common stock," said Gale Klappa, chairman and chief executive, in a statement.
Separately, Wisconsin Energy elected Henry Knueppel, retired chairman and chief executive of Regal Beloit Corp., to its board of directors.
After the dividend announcement, Wisconsin Energy shares closed at $37.95, up 17 cents.

Dragon City Habitat Limit Solution Guide
Dragon City Habitat Limit Solution Guide by Joao Mendonca
My City's Definition makes you get the most gold income from all dragons(except uniques), with all the boosts bought and with all the buildings(except for recruitment tavern which is useless)
Here is pics and how my city is displayed:
The Display is:
Habitat Organization List:
- Earth (holds 4, max gold 2000): Earth/Venom/Armadillo (1 habitat, 1 open)
- Electric (holds 4, max gold 6000): Electric/Star/Chameleon/Paladin (1 habitat)
- Plant (holds 4, max gold 20000): Plant/Tropical/Cactus/Gummy (1 habitat)
- Fire (holds 4, max gold 25000): Fire/Flaming Rock/Vulcano/Firebird/Spicy/Lazer/Hot Metal (2 habitats, 1 open)
- Metal (holds 4, max gold 30000): Metal/Medieval/Steampunk/Jade/Dragonfly/Battery/Gold/Robot (2 habitats)
- Water (holds 3, max gold 50000): Water/Mud/Waterfall/Cloud/Blizzard/Nenufar/Coral/Lantern Fish/Storm/Mercury/Seashell/Ice Cube (4 habitats)
- Ice (holds 3, max gold 75000): Ice/Alpine/Snowflake/Ice Cream/Dandelion/Mojito/Fluorescent/Moose/Pearl/Cool Fire/Soccer/Platinum (4 habitats)
- Dark (holds 4, max gold 80000): Dark/Hedgehog/Vampire/Dark Fire/Carnivore Plant/Neon/Penguin/Zombie/Poo/Petrolium/Pirate/Rattlesnake (3 habitats)
- Legend: (holds 1, max gold 750000[!]) Legendary/Wind/Crystal/Mirror (4 habitats)
- Pure: (holds 1, max gold 100 000) Pure Dragon(1 habitat)
- Pure Earth: (holds 1, max gold 50 000) Pure Earth Dragon(1 habitat)
- Pure Fire: (holds 1, max gold 50 000) Pure Fire Dragon(1 habitat)
- Pure Water: (holds 1, max gold 50 000) Pure Water Dragon(1 habitat)
- Pure Plant: (holds 1, max gold 50 000) Pure Plant Dragon (1 habitat)
- Pure Metal: (holds 1, max gold 50 000) Pure Metal Dragon (1 habitat)
Note: This already takes in count the gold revenue by each dragon, in order to make it fair and fast!
So we have 28 habitats and still no Pure Dark Dragon!
What do we do? SIMPLE!
Or you keep it this way, or you be smart and delete Earth Habitat, only Earth, Venom and Armadillo!
I know Armadillo is a rare, but you get it easily with a simple breeding combo, so for pros with all dragons this is the best to do!
With this you have still 28 habitats! Only not Earth and your gold income is bigger instead!
But for all the ones who use my city, which I advice to all of you which wanna get max gold income(remember food is expensive now), the best thing to do is delete 6 huge farms, as you wont ever surpass the use of 6 huge farms which max food income cost 5 MILLION GOLD each and takes 2 days!
So you delete them by the order im about to mention, and you have space for it!
You choose if you put pure metal instead of those six or instead of earth! Pure Dark will be on one of those choices too!
Im gonna show you how the deletion of 6 huge farms will help:
I out a Pure Habitat on top of the farms so you can see which are gonna be deleted and which will remain!

I can have only four metal habitats, then the fifth requires gems to upgrade. Seeing as all posts everywhere are outdated by many years, thought I'd ask. What habitats and how many of each can we have with gold only? I have 5 terra, no gems required…
How do you get past level 40 on your dragons???
To get your dragons past level 10, you have to build the Magic Temple for 500,000.

ForumsQuestionsColumn Order and Dates
Column Order and Dates
Author | Message |
J-Mac |
I have both Due Date and Start Date as selected fields in most views. However the Due Date shows before the Start Date in column order. IOW, reading left to right I see Due Date and then Start Date. I have tried resetting the order using the Column Edit icon but as soon as I click the icon again to complete the order change it reverts back to Due Date then Start Date. Maybe it's just me, but I usually like to see that order reversed: Start, then Due/Finish. Or does "Due Date" mean "Start Date" in Toodledo?
Is there some other setting I have missed that is preventing me from changing that order? Most other changes are working. Thanks! Jim |
lite1 |
I use both and just re-ordered them and things were retained. So sorry I can't offer any advice as it is working for me. Good luck.
Jake Toodledo Admin |
I might have just gotten a little confused. Try moving start-date all the way to the left column. Then save that. Then edit the order again and move it to where you want it.
J-Mac |
Wow - that seems to have done it, Jake. Kind of a roundabout way to get there but it's there now!
Thanks for the help! Jim |

Q. Both my parents have passed away. While undertaking the house clearance I came across a National Provincial bank account book in my name. It was opened for me at the age of eight and clearly intended for me to benefit when older. The bank book shows over £800 and there is no record of any withdrawals.
I provided my local NatWest branch with copies of the bank book in 2009. I received a reply from NatWest that failed to confirm that the account had been closed. I responded in July 2009 that their explanation was clearly established upon a best guess. My letter was not replied to, nor was another letter from October 2010. I have never received evidence that the account was closed. NatWest has obviously decided to ignore me. JW, Carmarthenshire
A. We have discussed this problem for several months with RBS, the parent bank of NatWest (formed by the merger of the National Provincial and Westminster banks in 1968). RBS tells us it has carefully checked its old records. These show the account was closed in 1997, 11 years after your father died and before you were aware of its existence. RBS retains detailed account information for 10 years, which it says is fully compliant with its legal obligations. Its summary records merely show the account was closed by a person using your surname.
You have requested further information regarding the account, including who was entitled to make withdrawals from the account opened in your name, but RBS no longer has this information. RBS accepts it could and should have done more to answer your enquiries sooner and more efficiently. Consequently it has transferred £75 into your account as a gesture of goodwill. But it is adamant that the account was properly closed. A spokeswoman said: "Our complaints team have now concluded their enquiries in the light of the additional information provided and have located a closing statement proving that the account was actually closed 25 April 1997. The reason for closure was given as 'no further use'.
A cheque was issued at the time to [a person with the reader's surname] with the closing balance of £4.06. All our records were computerised by the early 1970s. After that time there would be no need for customers to produce a book when making a deposit or withdrawal... We know some customers kept their passbooks as a personal record and the bank did not ask for their return... In recognition of the inconvenience caused by the delay in him receiving a full response regarding this matter, we have credited his account with £75 as a gesture of goodwill." You tell us that you are not satisfied with this – we suggest you pursue the matter with the Financial Ombudsman.
Q. My partner flew from Germany to Dublin on Christmas Eve 2010, travelling with his two young children, to visit me over the holiday. His Aer Lingus flight was delayed, causing them to wait nine hours at Hamburg airport and to spend Christmas Eve at a hotel in Dublin, instead of being at my home. They were not given any vouchers for food and drink during the delays, which is required under European Union law. My partner and I have complained repeatedly, but he has not received any compensation. MW, Ireland
A. You state that you and your partner have repeatedly provided Aer Lingus with the details of the bank account the payment was to be made into. Aer Lingus says this information was not received. When you contacted us we provided this information to Aer Lingus' media relations team to enable the payment to be made. When we checked a few days later on progress, once more Aer Lingus denied having received the account details.
We are promised that a payment for €124 (£100) has now been approved, in line with the amount requested by your partner. This should be received within the next week. It has taken us several weeks to obtain this payment and you requested additional compensation because of the continued delay.
However, Aer Lingus does not accept that the delay is its fault and has not complied with your request. A spokesman for the airline said: "Aer Lingus, in accordance with EU Regulation 261/2004, reimbursed reasonable and necessary expenses incurred for additional accommodation costs. Aer Lingus cannot accept liability for consequential costs such as car hire and recommends that any individual affected in this way contacts their personal travel insurers in order to pursue this portion of their claim."
Q. My building society's lawyer has phoned me to discuss my mortgage application. Before he will speak to me he says he requires me to answer security questions to confirm my identification. This is a terrible cheek. How am I supposed to know who he is? I should not be expected to provide security details that could open the way to someone committing a fraud against me. I put the phone down on him. I think this practice could well be illegal. CW, London.
A. We asked the Information Commissioner's Office for its view, but it does not share your opinion regarding the legal situation. A spokesman for the Information Commissioner said: "The Data Protection Act places a series of obligations on financial companies who hold and process peoples' data. This includes having appropriate measures in place to keep this information secure. Asking a person security questions to access details related to their account helps to stop unauthorised access to this information. Therefore the building society may instruct their lawyers to adopt this approach when speaking to their clients. If they do adopt this approach then it is good practice to inform their customer that these checks will be made. If the person has any doubts that the individual they are speaking to is not a representative from their building society, then they should contact the company to confirm, before handing out any of their information."

If first impressions are as important as people say, Green River Ordinance seems a band destined for mainstream success. Just two projects into their young career, the quintet is making a habit of releasing immaculately produced material with a wealth of heart. Listing bands like Matchbox 20, Tonic, and Switchfoot as influences, the group maintains a predominantly upbeat pop/rock sound, complete with huge hooks, sincere vocals and driving guitar passages which allow both electric riffs and plaintive acoustic figures to share instrumental focus; the band would certainly fit in well with the current crop of melody makers tearing up multiple radio formats, bands like Augustana and the Fray. Green River Ordinance first displayed their penchant for writing songs with a doubly effective formula of infectious energy and catchy refrains on their 2005 debut, The Beauty of Letting Go. "Speak through Me" showcased the band's ability to address deeper topics of spirituality and purpose while songs like "Waiting for a Sign" and "Breath of Life" best displayed their melodic talents. Unfortunately, the band fell into traps that kept the album from being an unqualified success; their work plagued by stock lyrical expressions and an inability to present enough distinctive qualities to distinguish the group from their influences or certain tracks from each other. On their latest release, the group has largely addressed these issues; the EP format allows their work to retain more potency and there is greater distinction between tracks, allowing the album's best material to shine all the more brightly. While there are no truly weak moments on Way Back Home , cuts like "Sleep It Off" and "Beauty of Letting Go" retain a chorus-driven vibe while the band mixes in more compelling guitar features and rhythmic heartbeats which make these songs album highlights.

During the Internet boom of the 1990s, Global Crossing built the world's most extensive high-speed fiber-optic network. In the Internet bust that followed, the company collapsed under $12.4 billion in debt. The US federal government last September approved its sale to ST Telemedia, the Singapore government-linked company that bought 61.5 percent of Global Crossing for US$250 million.
Global Crossing emerged from bankruptcy in December. But now, it faces more problems. On Tuesday, it reported that it expected to restate last year's results after underestimating access fees the company owes other telecommunication companies by US$50-80 million.
ST Telemedia says it is prepared to put up an additional US$100 million to keep Global Crossing afloat. However, analysts estimate that ST Telemedia, as the majority shareholder, may have to pump as much as US$250 million into Global Crossing this year to keep it in operation.
Global Crossing is proving to be quite an expensive acquisition for ST Telemedia.

chemical aspects
chemical separation and purification
Crystallization is a technique that has long been used in the purification of substances. Often, when a solid substance (single compound) is placed in a liquid, it dissolves. Upon adding more of the solid, a point eventually is reached beyond which no further solid dissolves, and the solution is said to be saturated with the solid compound. The concentration of the saturated solution depends on...
glass ceramics
In some glasses it is possible to bring about a certain degree of
crystallization in the normally random atomic structure. Glassy materials that exhibit such a structure are called glass ceramics. Commercially useful glass ceramics are those in which a high density of uniformly sized, nonoriented crystals has been achieved through the bulk of the material, rather than at the surface or in...
glass formation
...temperature (indicated by point a). The removal of heat causes the state to move along the line ab, as the liquid simultaneously cools and shrinks in volume. In order for a perceptible degree of
crystallization to take place, there must be a finite amount of "supercooling" below the freezing point b (which is also the melting point, T
m, of the corresponding crystal)....
Glass formation is a matter of bypassing
crystallization. The channel to the crystalline state is evaded by quickly crossing the temperature interval between
f and
g. Nearly all materials can, if cooled quickly enough, be prepared as amorphous solids. The definition of "quickly enough" varies enormously from material to material....
the initial process that occurs in the formation of a crystal from a solution, a liquid, or a vapour, in which a small number of ions, atoms, or molecules become arranged in a pattern characteristic of a crystalline solid, forming a site upon which additional particles are deposited as the crystal grows.
Some other polymers have molecules that fit together so well that they tend to pack together in an ordered crystalline arrangement. In high-density polyethylene, for example, the long sequences of ethylene units that make up the polymer spontaneously crystallize at temperatures below about 130 °C (265 °F), so that, at normal temperatures, polyethylene is a partially crystalline plastic...
triboluminescence production
...substances. Closely related are the faint blue luminescence observable when adhesive tapes are stripped from a roll, and the luminescence exhibited when strontium bromate and some other salts are crystallized from hot solutions. In all of these cases, positive and negative electric charges are produced by the mechanical separation of surfaces and during the
crystallization process. Light...
effect on ceramics
Crystallization of soluble salts can result in serious damage to the ceramic structure and the decorative surface, especially if it is glazed. Soluble salts such as phosphates, nitrates (in soil and groundwater laden with fertilizer and industrial pollutants), and especially chlorides (such as those found in the sea and sometimes in the ground) will combine with water and migrate through the...
geological aspects
crystallization of magma is a complex process because magma is a complex substance. Certain magmas, such as those which form granites, contain several percent water dissolved in them. When a granitic magma cools, the first minerals to crystallize tend to be anhydrous (e.g., feldspar), so an increasingly water-rich residue remains. Certain rare chemical elements, such as lithium, beryllium,...
petroleum refining
crystallization of wax from lubricating oil fractions is essential to make oils suitable for use. A solvent (often a mixture of benzene and methyl ethyl ketone) is first added to the oil, and the solution is chilled to about −20 °C (−5 °F). The function of the benzene is to keep the oil in solution and maintain its fluidity at low temperatures, whereas the methyl ethyl...
recrystallization in metamorphic rocks
...of a mineral grain under the greatest stress will be dissolved; the removed material may then be redeposited on those parts of the grain that are under lower stress. The principle is used to explain re
crystallization in metamorphic rocks when minerals become oriented with their long dimensions parallel. Usually, mineral deformation in a metamorphic rock is caused by a combination of slippage...
soil formation
...and oxides of iron and aluminum (Fe
3 and alumina [Al
3]). After the bases are removed by leaching, the remaining silica and alumina combine to form crystalline clays.
industrial aspects
frozen foods
The freezing of food involves lowering its temperature below 0 °C, resulting in the gradual conversion of water, present in the food, into ice. Freezing is a
crystallization process that begins with a nucleus or a seed derived from either a nonaqueous particle or a cluster of water molecules (formed when the temperature is reduced below 0 °C). This seed must be of a certain size to...
salt manufacturing
Once it has been concentrated, the brine is run through a series of crystallizing pans, usually four in number, where the salt is deposited as evaporation proceeds. In the first crystallizing pan, the brine is concentrated to a specific gravity of 1.23 and remains partly contaminated with calcium sulfate. The specific gravity of the solution in the pan increases slowly during
crystallization of...
sugar refining
Fine clarified liquor is boiled to white sugar in a series of vacuum pans similar to those used in sugarcane processing. The boiling system is complicated because the purity of the fine liquor is more than 98 percent, and at least six or seven stages of boiling are necessary before the molasses is exhausted. The first three or four strikes are blended to make commercial white sugar. Special...
beet sugar
After purification, the juice, now called clear or thin juice, is pumped to multiple-effect evaporators similar to those used in raw cane sugar manufacture. In the evaporators the juice is concentrated to thick juice (60–65 percent dissolved solids), which is mixed with remelted lower grades of sugar to form standard liquor. From this standard liquor, sugar is crystallized, usually in...
raw sugar
Syrup from the evaporators is sent to vacuum pans, where it is further evaporated, under vacuum, to supersaturation. Fine seed crystals are added, and the sugar "mother liquor" yields a solid precipitate of about 50 percent by weight crystalline sugar. Crystallization is a serial process. The first
crystallization, yielding A sugar or A strike, leaves a residual mother liquor known...
water supply systems treatment
The freezing process, also called
crystallization, involves cooling salt water to form crystals of pure ice. The ice crystals are separated from the unfrozen brine, rinsed to remove residual salt, and then melted to produce fresh water. Freezing is theoretically more efficient than distillation, and scaling as well as corrosion problems are lessened at the lower operating temperatures, but the...

Week 18 tummy
But I have pictures!
Week 18, according to one website, the little dude is the size of a boneless chicken breast. According to another, he's a bell pepper.
The boneless chicken breast both amuses and grosses me out more.
This was the week that colleagues I am not super close to started saying, "Hey! You look pregnant!"
And I would think, "Yes, and I'm nurturing a boneless chicken breast!"
I kind of love that my belly is all obviously sticking out now. And as soon as I eat or drink anything, it sticks out more. Some moments, I look veryvery preg.
Betty has been out of town since mid-February, and when I see her this weekend, she will be shocked. I reported that my boobs had hit a C. She was astounded.
In my family, we have the big strong thighs with which our Viking ancestors marauded and conquered - and then in later years traversed the North Dakota prairie. The boobs, we have not so much of.
She called the other day from the dressing room of a consignment shop. She was trying on maternity clothes for me, but she had no idea what size. Her friend, in the background, suggested I measure my thighs.
"Sweetie, you want to measure your thighs?"
Um, no. No fucking way. No.
What kind of question is that?
I was at the OB on Tuesday, and I asked the nurse to just not tell me what my weight was. She wasn't at all surprised. I bet a lot of people do this.
It's not that I'm fighting it - by no stretch of the imagination; I just don't want to know.
In that same visit, the doctor said I can keep up with the running until I simply can't. I am wondering when the "simply can't" moment will hit.
And here's a tarted up picture. It's far from my favorite picture of myself, but I feel like it shows the preg pretty well.
I had to choose between a picture with a better face that also featured the hottie hot boots, and this one, which shows the pregnanty bits more.
This seemed more useful.
And the boots! I must note, I had to lean waaaaaay back in a chair and put my legs up on the desk for five or so minutes so that I could zip them over my calves at the end of the day.
This is another thing about pregnancy that's kind of weird. My size from tummy down changes dramatically from the time I get up in the morning to the time I nearly plod into bed at night.
My friend Wendy likened pregnancy to a science experiment, and I have to absolutely agree.
And thus ends my stream-of-consciousness preg update for the week.
Happy weekend to all! Even though the cocksucking cold is back!

Lady, you look gorgeous!
The boneless chicken breast thing is a bit weird. I think pregnancy websites should refrain from comparing babies to cuts of meat. "Week 18: boneless chicken breast, Week 20: t-bone steak"?? Actually, scratch that. Cuts of meat are totally awesome. "Week 36: rump roast." Awww yeah.- Cheryl S,3/13/2009 11:43 AM
You look absolutely amazing! And don't worry, lots of people tell the nurses not to tell them their weight. I had lots of friends that had no clue what they weighed through the whole thing.
It's so much nicer when you are obviously pregnant. People are very nice to you, you get lots of smiles. Sure beats the first few months where everyone just thinks you are hitting the cheesecake a bit too hard! Hillary - Thank you so much! I think because chicken has been grossing me out in general, and then to add "boneless" - it just made me all icky. But you are right - rump roast is kind of ideal as a description.
Cheryl - Thank you! I had no idea this post would be such a nice boost!
And yes, so much better. (Also, complete truth is, I was feeling sorry for myself with no drinking and hitting the cheesecake - literally, cheesecake - very hard in the beginning...And that showed, fast.)
FreckledK - Ah, my sweet! You look twice as good! Always!Oh Lisa, you look beautiful! And rackalicious! (Can I say that?) Well, quelle rack, anyway. And I love the dress, and I remember very well how much fun it was to show the belly. Yay belly! That part just gets more and more fun. But then I lucked out somehow and never experienced the shock of a stranger touching my belly. Fingers crossed that the random people you meet behave themselves!
ReplyDeleteThe "simply can't" moment will be obvious to you, don't worry. When I was about 5 months pregnant with Zeke, Jason and I went out to play some tennis. As I lunged for a ball, I felt something pull at the bottom of my belly, not quite a muscle tear, but close. And that's when I knew, "yeah, this is a bad idea." I was able to jog comfortably until around 7 months or so -- after that, it would result in Braxton-Hicks contractions that would leave me flattened for at least two days.
On that note, I'm going skiing, because my OB said I could until 18 weeks.JoLee - Thanks for the great compliment! So nice!
A.S. - Awesome! Thank you! Nobody has ever said I look rackalicious before! I haven't yet had any random strangers notice - I think because I'm bundled in coats when out and about. It will be a big turning point when that happens!
Dagny - While I LOVE your glam multiple outfit image, the reality is far more prosaic. More like scooting waists of pants down or putting feet up to depuff legs.
And the clothes I am not so excited about, but ooh, I have been making up for it in shoes! (Your land of milk-n-honey tax free shoes!)
Wendy - Yah, I believe that. I run and lift weights - so nothing like tennis that requires quick movement or turns, but I can totally see there just being a point where it feels like too much.
And have fun skiing! Awesome!
Lisa - Oh, thank you, my friend! I know - measure my thighs?!! No, Betty! Just, no!
Sarah - Thanks very much! Hugs!
Luna - Thanks! I do feel like it's really bumpish now. And you are right - more belly and the rest will fade into the background.
Maude - Thank you! Heeee is right! Isn't it crazy? I do hope I get to see you in a couple months.
LJ - Thanks - I am, I am!Yep, you'll know when to stop jogging. I used to walk with my neighbor. At first I got to the point where she needed to tie my shoe if it came undone. And then I got to the point where it just took too damn long for me to get around our loop and I was on the verge of making us miss work entirely.
ReplyDeleteJ - We did, thanks, we really did! And yah, there is already that oh I need to pee as soon as I leave the house feeling. Which I'm sure will become concrete reality soon.
LiLu - Awww, thank you sweetie! If you and B decide not to go the "she's barren" route, I know you will look fantastic.
browneyedgirlie - Thanks so much! I know, but I'm a little afraid of that big pop as well. And the bigger boobs - I definitely see them as novelties. Fun!
Sarah - Not only that, you'll be PhD-level prepared!!! And thank you! :)
Susan - Oh, man, I hadn't even thought about that, but of course it will get to the point where it's really hard to tie my own shoes...- Anonymous3/15/2009 12:33 PM
You are one good looking lady with child on board! Let me tell ya, the growing boob-a-lahs? Fun for the entire family!

Also, any places that sell reconditioned wood. I need low pricves. I am looking for 2x4s, 4x4s, 8x8 plywood, 2x6s. Any help would be appreciated

Hi Youngcarpenter!
Get your total numbers of boards and such and go to the local lumber yards. Start haggling with them. This is prime deck season, so you may be out of luck, but it's worth a try. I don't know if they have an 84 Lumber store near you, but that's a good place to start. If you have a contractor's license or your business card (construction company), that'll usually help out the haggling. I think HD and Lowe's will discount for contractors. I am almost positive 84 Lumber will.I put it all back together better than before. There\'s lots of leftover parts.
