Date of Defense 2011-04-21 Availability unrestricted AbstractDry reforming of methane (DRM) has been widely investigated, with most studies showing rapid deactivation due to carbon deposition. This suggests a need to develop catalysts that limit carbon formation while avoiding structural changes at the elevated temperatures typical of this reaction.
Here, we report CO2 reforming of methane on four pyrochlore catalysts. First, Rh was partially substituted for Zr in lanthanum zirconate (La2Zr2O7) to give La2Zr2-xRhxO7.5 (LRZ, x=0.112, 2 wt% Rh) pyrochlore. A second pyrochlore catalyst was synthesized in which Ca was further substituted into the La-site to give La1.95Ca0.05Zr2-xRhxO7 (LCRZ, x=0.055, 1 wt% Rh). A third catalyst was synthesized where Ni was substituted in the Zr-site to give La2Zr2-xNixO7.5 (LNZ, x=0.112, 1 wt% Ni). A fourth catalyst, containing no catalytically active metal, La1.97Sr0.03Zr2O7.5 (LSZ), was synthesized to provide a direct comparison to the substituted pyrochlores. Effects of substitution and kinetic measurements were examined for dry reforming of methane in a fixed-bed reactor. Results from XRD prior to reaction showed that all the pyrochlore catalysts had a cubic unit-cell lattice. Temperature programmed reduction (TPR) of the catalysts suggested the presence of two reducible Rh species in LCRZ and LRZ, and four reducible Ni species in LNZ. Textural measurements revealed that among the active catalysts, LCRZ had the highest BET surface area (10.0 m2/g) and pore volume (0.10 cc/g). Temperature programmed surface reaction (TPSR) tests indicated different light-off curves for different catalysts, with LCRZ being the most active by this measure. Steady state tests at 750°C using an equimolar reactant feed for 450 min showed that the Ni-substituted pyrochlore (LNZ) deactivated rapidly. The catalysts LCRZ and LRZ showed similar activity, however, LCRZ showed lower carbon build-up. XRD of the spent catalysts showed that the pyrochlore structure was unchanged during reaction for all catalysts. Carbon deposited on catalyst surface during reaction was characterized by TPO. The Ni based pyrochlore (LNZ) showed higher carbon deposition (1.4 g/gcat.) than both LCRZ (0.26 g/gcat.) and LRZ (0.44 g/gcat.). These results suggested that Rh substituted into the pyrochlore was more active and selective for synthesis gas compared to a directly comparable atomic loading of Ni. In addition, the doping of Ca and Rh on La and Zr sites may create oxygen vacancies in the crystal lattice resulting in higher oxygen ion mobility resulting in the oxidation of carbonaceous species deposited on the active sites on the catalyst during the reaction. Substitution of metals into the crystal lattice might have also lowered the bond-energy of La-O and Zr-O lattice bonds resulting in the release of oxygen from the lattice, which probably oxidizes surface carbon thus slowing the carbon build-up process on the catalyst during the reaction.

The Crap We Missed – Wednesday 2.20.13
Welcome to Wednesday's The Crap We Missed that features Bethenny Frankel fisting a koala, so I'm not really sure why I don't just stop there. I mean, to follow that with Louis Anderson showing Kendra the kind of dumps he's capable of producing, or a really sophisticated one of those fat celebrity photoshops of Rob Kardashian wouldn't really compare. How about yet another insanetarded outfit worn by Will.i.am that if we're lucky includes a stolen vintage Seal camera? Nope, didn't think so.

SIlver Cloud Had No SIlver Lining: Silver Cloud Cruise Review by delray girl
Overall Member Rating
SIlver Cloud Had No SIlver Lining
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: San Juan
Some falsehoods to dispel immediately:
1)No one has a personal butler. The butler instead roams through several floors and has an appreciably high number of cabins to service. Often, it was difficult to find anyone, telephoning or peeking out into the hallway. Once you could reach the butler, he was attentive: room service was lovely, shoes were shined, and, if you care for this sort of thing (we do not), towels would be twisted into little animal forms at turn-down time. Rose petals were sprinkled into the bathtub, left for ther passenger to clean out if he or she wanted to take a More shower!
2)The ship is not elegant. Rather, the furniture is chipped, the walls are scuffed, and the mirrors are all showing wear and scratches. The shower had a full-length mirror on one side, which was a miserable way to first look at oneself in the morning! The grout ands the area between the bathroom tiles were full of mildew, which many passengers noticed.The balconies had paint splashed on the floor and cheap furniture. The rooms were cleaned in so-so fashion, although on a daily basis. The library is nice; and the main auditorium was pretty. The pool was small and the chairs around it were very unattractive and clashed with the decor, suggesting a bulk sale on them. The computer room was tiny and the internet took hours to work.
3. The food is plentiful but not very good. Breakfasts never varied. The Italian retsaurant had the same menu night after night. Tea was nice, but you had to beg for the scones; otherwise, the waiters placed a stock dish on your table.Lunch was good and the best part of the eating day. The dining room menu was very difficult to read, and most of the food was the same nighr after night. It was not of high quality. The worst part of the cruise was how long dinner would take. If you arrived at 7:30, when dinner began, it was next to impossible to be finished before 10, making it hard to partake of the entertainment.The entertainment consisted of watered-down versions of Beatles songs and ABBA hits. The entertainers were peppy, but looked like they could have easily been as comfortable singing in the Magic Kingdom.
4. The passengers seemed to be mostly in their 70's and 80's. Nice people, but definitely an older crowd.
5. The executive staff was cold, mostly invisible, and liked to keep it that way. If you wanted to talk about anything, they sent out the same third-tier people time and again. The ship had an air of mostly not caring. Compare this to Crystal, and there is NO comparison.
6. The excursions were good and organized well. No complaints there.
If you have an opportunity to choose between Silverseas and Crystal, choose Crystal. Much better attention, food, and overall quality. Silverseas by comparison is like the awkward, homely first cousin who is not sure how to compete and stops trying.The Silver Cloud was down on the heels, and there are much better offers on much better ships.

The database schema does allow several products to have the same SKU. This may well be a design decision to allow the very thing you're proposing. In my very limited testing, it seems like there's nothing to stop you having several products sharing the one SKU.
Note that this version (Stock & Price CSV Updater 2) is designed to handle your case. The original version won't handle it properly, as it doesn't differentiate between products that have the same SKU.
As for the package stuff, I've yet to investigate this. I know Ubercart has a "product kit" feature that provides this kind of functionality, but I don't know how stock levels of a kit's components are handled.

Schools, Early Childhood Education (ECE) programs, and communities have a shared responsibility to promote a safe physical environment that protects children with food allergies. State and local health regulations, generally based on the FDA Model Food Code, provide school districts, schools, and ECE programs with requirements governing the cleaning and sanitizing of surfaces and other practices that can protect against the unintentional transfer of residue or trace amount of an allergic food into another food. Some practices to reduce this cross-contact include the following:

U.S. economic data were mixed this week, but remain consistent with an improvement in Q2 GDP growth after an anemic Q1 reading of 0.1 percent (that looks to be revised down to a small negative). Inflation metrics warmed up in April. The PPI for final demand gained a strong 0.6 percent in April after increasing by 0.5 percent in March. Wholesale food prices gained a noticeable 2.7 percent for the month, pushed up by drought conditions in California, now for the third consecutive year in some areas. Shipping bottlenecks left over from the severe winter, combined with bottlenecks in rail transport, have resulted in very high demand for trucking services. This put upward pressure on the prices of many goods, both at the wholesale level and at the retail level.
The Consumer Price Index for April was up more than expected, by 0.3 percent. Food prices were up 0.4 percent for the third month in a row. Increasing house prices and rents are having an effect. The index for shelter was up 0.2 percent in April. The core CPI (less food and energy) was up 0.2 percent, and is now up 1.8 percent on a year-over-year basis. If we add to the picture rapidly declining unemployment rates in some areas, upside pressure on average hourly earnings and weak productivity growth, we start to see some potential for stronger inflation as the U.S. economy accelerates this year.
Industrial production in April dipped by 0.6 percent as utility output fell by 5.3 percent, clearly weather-related. However, most manufacturing industries were weak as well. Overall manufacturing declined by 0.4 percent in April, after solid gains in February and March.
The Empire State Manufacturing Survey for May showed a strong uptick in manufacturing conditions for the New York region. The Philadelphia Fed's Business Outlook Survey ticked down slightly in May, but remained firmly in positive territory.
New claims for unemployment insurance fell by 24,000 to hit a level of 297,000, the lowest level since May 2007. Continuing claims fell by 9,000 to hit 2,667,000 for the week ending May 3.
Residential construction activity picked up in April. Housing starts increased by 13.2 percent for the month, to an annual unit rate of 1,072,000. Permits increased by 8.0 percent, to a 1,080,000 unit rate.
Retail sales for April gained just 0.1 percent, despite reasonably solid performances from most major categories. The big drag on headline sales came from electronics and appliance stores which blew a fuse, declining by 2.3 percent in April. We expect to see solid consumer spending numbers this spring and summer.
The National Federation of Independent Business's Small Business Optimism Index surged in April, up to 95.2, its strongest reading since October 2007.
Total business inventories were up by a modest 0.4 percent in March, consistent with the weaker Q1 inventory numbers in the GDP report.
The University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment Index ticked down to 81.8 in early May. We expect consumer sentiment to maintain an upward trend this year.

text: 18 July 2012 Blair's comeback, the Guardian's woes and what I found in Corsica Sign up for our weekly email * The Work and Pensions Secretary, Iain Duncan Smith, is patting himself on the back. Of the 56,000 households affected by the £26,000 cap on benefits, 1,700 have already moved back into work, after receiving threatening letters, though the cap doesn't take effect until 2013. According to my maths, this is just 3 per cent, which is roughly the proportion of the unemployed who get jobs each month even during a recession. Another 5,000 – nearly 9 per cent – are "seeking out the targeted support available to move into employment", IDS says. Good for them. What about the other 88 per cent? Will the minister also provide figures for suicides, mental illness, marital break-ups and malnourished children? Rusbridger of sighs To anybody who follows the fortunes of the Guardian, the Observer and their digital operations, news that their losses increased for the fourth year in a row and are now above £40m will come as no surprise. As I explained in the NS last month, the company has so ordered its affairs that the Scott Trust, which kept the Guardian alive for 75 years by transferring profits from other assets, can no longer cover all the losses. Like other newspapers, the Guardian is suffering steep falls in print revenues but, so far, its expanding digital operations don't make enough to replace them. Meanwhile, its sugar daddy – the trust being its equivalent of the Independent's Evgeny Lebedev or the Times's Rupert Murdoch – is short of sugar. By now, most papers would already be slashing staff costs. The Guardian, however, critical of bosses who reach for P45s at the first sign of trouble, sticks for now to the unfashionable policy of politely requesting voluntary redundancies, to the fury of its many enemies who would love to see its King's Cross building swimming in blood. If, like me, you have spent nearly all your working life on precariously positioned left-liberal publications – though when I was a young reporter on the Observer, the paper enjoyed brief prosperity after it accidentally made a killing during a London property boom – you have seen it all before. People ask if the Guardian will survive. Answer: I don't know. I gave the same answer to the same question in each of the past five decades. Here's . . . Tony! What is Tony Blair up to? His biographer Anthony Seldon, asked by the Guardian if we should rule out a Blair return to Downing Street, replies "absolutely not". How could it happen? Here is my scenario. The coalition breaks up next year and, simultaneously, Moody's and other agencies downgrade Britain's credit rating, as they have recently threatened. To reassure the markets, Blair forms a "government of national unity", supported by the Cameroons (who frequently profess admiration for him), Labour's Blairite rump and the Lib Dems. This alliance might just a command a Commons majority until the 2015 election, assisted by an opposition of Tory diehards and Labour loyalists who cannot agree on anything. Would Blair even need a parliamentary seat? Italy's Mario Monti and Greece's Lucas Papademos hadn't been elected to anything. Is that Blair's game plan? Stranger things have happened. Young and wasted The trouble with the rich is that, even when they wish to be public-spirited, they don't know how to give their money away properly. The venture capitalist Michael Moritz and his wife have pledged £75m to pay Oxford University fees for students from poor backgrounds. As there is little evidence that, if disadvantaged 18-year-olds don't get to Oxford, it is because of the fees – they are perfectly capable of understanding that the government pays upfront and, as graduates, their repayments will be income-contingent – this is what economists call "deadweight spending". It subsidises students who would probably go to Oxford or another elite university in any case. Worse, the Moritz donation, offset by tax relief, has to be matched by £225m of Oxford money that might otherwise be used for more effective schemes to widen access. Besides, why do the rich give so much to Oxford and Cambridge, already among the country's wealthiest institutions? To them that hath shall be given . . . even in charity. But of Corse Depressed by the British weather, I escaped for a week to French-ruled Corsica. Everywhere I went I saw statues of Pascal Paoli. Who he? Inquiries revealed that he ruled during a brief period of Corsican independence and introduced representative democracy with a vote for every man over 25. This was in 1755, 21 years before the American Revolution and 34 years before the French. Paoli also built schools and a university, and attracted so much admiration from Rousseau that the philosopher considered moving to the island. Why is Corsica not a place of pilgrimage for democrats and socialists? My view of Mediterranean islands (possibly excepting Crete) is that one is much like another. But Corsica is different and I shall return. Winnie-ing formula Winston Churchill observed that if you brought two economists together you got two opinions, unless one was Keynes, in which case you got three. A variant on this joke is needed for German economists. Two hundred of them recently signed an appeal against a euro banking union; 200 signed another appeal supporting one. Eleven economists signed both. Peter Wilby was editor of the Independent on Sunday from 1995 to 1996 and of the New Statesman from 1998 to 2005. He writes the weekly First Thoughts column for the NS.

text: We believe Adjusted EBITDA serves as an appropriate measure to be used in evaluating the performance of our business. We employ the use of this measure in the preparation of our annual operating budgets and in determining levels of operating and capital investments. We believe Adjusted EBITDA allows us to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons, determine key personnel bonuses, and identify strategies to improve operating performance. We also believe Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure that provides investors, securities analysts and other interested parties a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, business acquisitions, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies in our industry. However, the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure is limited by the fact that it excludes the impact of interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and taxes. We borrow money in order to finance our operations; therefore, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate revenue. Similarly, our use of capital assets makes depreciation and amortization expense a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate income. Since we are subject to state and federal income taxes, any measure that excludes tax expense has material limitations. Due to these limitations, we do not, and you should not, use Adjusted EBITDA as the only measure of our performance. We also use, and recommend that you consider, net income in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance. Finally, other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently and, as a result, our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA measures of other companies.Similarly, we believe our use of Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA provides an appropriate measure to use in assessing our performance across periods given that this measure provides an adjustment for certain significant items, the magnitude of which may vary significantly from period to period. However, we do not, and do not recommend that you solely use Adjusted EPS to assess our financial and earnings performance. We also use, and recommend that you use, diluted earnings per share in addition to Adjusted EPS in assessing our earnings performance. Finally, other companies may define Adjusted EPS differently and, as a result, our measure of Adjusted EPS may not be directly comparable to Adjusted EPS measures of other companies.

Detailed Description:
MTWA-CAD is a feasibility study designed to evaluate Microvolt T-Wave Alternans (MTWA) testing for the purpose of detecting active ischemia in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). MTWA is a subtle, alternating pattern in the T wave portion of the surface electrocardiogram (ECG) that is associated with increased risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmias and sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).

Patients being evaluated for active ischemia
Subjects with known or suspected CAD who are scheduled to undergo routine exercise MPI or stress echocardiography for the detection of active ischemia are eligible for enrollment.
Detailed Description:
Ischemia, a common trigger for arrhythmias, is a well-documented cause of repolarization alternans. Human studies have shown that active ischemia can be associated with visible as well as microvolt-level T-wave alternans. While MTWA testing is traditionally used to evaluate arrhythmic risk, this known association with ischemia may allow MTWA testing to be used as a diagnostic tool to detect underlying CAD. The MTWA-CAD study will assess the feasibility of this concept by measuring MTWA during routine nuclear stress testing or stress echocardiography with treadmill exercise. This is a feasibility study designed to verify preliminary observations under controlled environments and to generate hypotheses, endpoints, and sample sizes for future investigations.

Dimples thought it would be funny to build a little kitty condo out of two discarded Crate & Barrel boxes. Here we see the finished condo (and the leg of the architect)...
As always when a new property is available, the competition is fierce. Here we see the first interested tenant, Widget, who inspects the condo.
Widget deems it good.
Poor Max just isn't as quick as Widget. "Hey Widge, wanna be roommates?"
Widget: "Are you kidding? Have you seen the closet space here?"
"Aw man!"
"This just isn't the same!"
"All this househunting has me depressed. Mom, take me snowboarding with you, please?"
As you can imagine, the condo was pretty much torn to shreds when we came back from the slopes. It's a tough market.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/3/2013 (1631 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
TWO Dauphin Kings top the list of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League's February players of the month.
Kings forward Jon Gaudet, 20, was named the RBC player of the month after leading all MJHL scorers with a whopping 24 points in only 11 games. Gaudet's teammate, blue-liner Tanner Butler, was named MJHL Sherwood Hockey defenceman of the month.
Rookie of the month went for the second time to Winkler Flyers player Tristan Keck, who scored five goals and eight assists in February.
Another repeat was Winnipeg Blues netminder Isaiah Plett, named MGEU goaltender of the month after winning all six of his February games and earning a .956 save percentage.
Winkler Flyers goalie Reed Peters battled hard to help carry his team to the final playoff spot in the Addison Division last week, posting a 4-1 record down the stretch.
His efforts didn't go unnoticed: on Tuesday, Peters was named the Recycle Everywhere MJHL player of the week for the period ending March 3.
Runners-up included 20-year-old Steinbach Pistons goalie Corey Koop and Dauphin Kings forward Guillaume Naud.
Brenton earns weekly honour
UNIVERSITY of Winnipeg wrestler Briston Brenton has another honour to help shine the medal around his neck.
Brenton, who won gold in the 82-kilogram weight class at last weekend's CIS Wrestling Championships in London, Ont., was named the Wesmen Pizza Hotline's CIS male player of the week on Tuesday.
Kudos in the sport is a family affair: Brenton's sister, second-year wrestler Jessica Brenton, was named the female Wesmen CIS player of the week, after she placed sixth in her 63-kilogram weight class at the championships. She won one silver and two bronze medals during the 2012-13 season.
-- staff
High school stars of the week
Glenboro Panthers basketball co-captain Mackenzie Murray (right) was named the Tri-Star Rural high school athlete of the week on Tuesday, after the wing/guard turned in an all-star performance at the MacGregor tournament over the weekend. The Panthers won the tournament, with Murray averaging 17 points per game.
Fort Richmond Centurion hockey centre Leah Olsen (left) was awarded the Home Run Sports urban high school athlete of the week, after she scored 17 goals and 28 points in 20 regular-season games while leading her team to a divisional quarter-final of the Winnipeg Women's High School Hockey League.

Ask a Clean Person: Laundry School — Lint and Static and Ironing, Oh My!
Ask a Clean Person: Laundry School — Lint and Static and Ironing, Oh My!
Get out your notebooks, sharpen your pencils, hone your note-passing skills: Laundry School is in session! We're devoting the entire month of May to the subject of laundry. And what fun would Laundry School be if you couldn't backtalk the teacher, right? So! The Twitter hashtag for this is #LAUNDRYSCHOOL. If you follow me on Twitter (@joliekerr) you can holler at me when you do your laundry! Or lemme see those beautiful piles of folded clothes! Or ask questions! Or tweet at me in emergency situations! Or maybe you just really, really, really need to talk to me about how folding a fitted sheet sends you into fits of rage. This is me, being here for you. And because I try to be here for you in as many ways as possible, I've started a pinboard devoted entirely to laundry to serve as a reference source. Most importantly: got questions? Ask away!
I've got a fluff situation I cannot get under control.
I received a set of gloriously fluffy dark purple towels for Christmas and they leave a trail of fuzz everywhere. Every time I pull them off the shelf, it's like a purple lint bomb exploded in my bedroom. Is there any way I can get them to stay fluffy, stop shedding, and remain a vibrant color?
You're going to think I'm crazy. Which? Can someone start keeping track of how many As to your Qs I begin with, "you're going to think I'm crazy"??? I really gotta stop doing that. But seriously, this sounds nutty, even to me: you might need to vacuum your towels.
Before you do so, you'll want to clean off the brush attachment of your vacuum so that any debris that might be clinging to it doesn't get on your towels; I mean, we're gonna wash the towels afterward anyway, but still. Give 'em a good going over with the vacuum's brush attachment and then launder as usual. You can also do the same sort of thing with a lint roller — be prepared to use allllll the sheets — and/or a slicker brush.
Oh but sorry … I jumped right into that answer without giving you any sense of why this might be happening. And there are a couple of reasons! Many towels, including and (oddly) especially super high-quality ones, need between 6 and 10 washings before they're fully de-linted. In which case, you can skip the vacuuming and just wash them much more frequently at the beginning of their life than you normally would to see if that solves the problem. The other reason why they might be shedding is that you bought a faulty product; if the fibers weren't properly stitched in they will fall out like a cut-rate weave.
Other things that might work are (1) using white vinegar in the wash, because the acid will help neutralize those rogue fibers. By the way, I absolutely don't know that "neutralize" is the right term there, but you kind of get what I mean, right? Right! You all are my people, and you understand me completely. (2) Soaking the towels in a salt water solution. Same thing as with the vinegar — there's some chemical thing that salt does but honestly guys? I'm exhausted from vacuuming the towels and can't be bothered to research the science of it all.
Also whenever you get an item that doesn't act the way you want it to, you should feel absolutely free to call up the manufacturer to ask if there are any particular products or techniques that they recommend for a better result. You might find that the problem you're having is one that's common to the product, and that there's a solution or solutions they can suggest, or you might learn that you've got a lemon on your hands and that they're willing to send you a replacement. So! Pick up that phone (or, let's be honest, email customer service because eew gross who wants to talk on the phone).
Long-time reader, first-time question-asker. I was wondering if you had any suggestions for how to deal with static cling in clothing that can't go in the dryer and receive the waxy goodness of fabric softener. I have some sweaters and a couple of rayon dresses that are especially prone to clinginess, presumably because they are lay-flat-to-dry items. Is there a spray or some other product I can use on them?
There is indeed a spray you can use on them! There are also a whole bunch of other things you can do to cut down on static cling — including a number of options that I think will be helpful to know about in the event that static cling creeps up on you in the middle of the work day or some such and you don't have your full stash of products on hand.
But first let's back up to something you can do to prevent static cling in items you don't put in the dryer: use a ½–1 cup of white vinegar in your wash, which serves as a fabric softener and will also help to reduce static cling. Liquid fabric softener serves the same purpose, but I hate that garbage and don't even like talking about it, so.
With that out of the way, let's get into the various products and tricks that exist for waging war against static cling. First and foremost, there's Static Guard. It is a lovely product! You just spray it on the item that's clinging to you, and just like magic everything falls into its proper place. ❤ it! Hairspray — the narsty aerosol kind, ya know, like Aqua Net (which is actually seriously what I use on my hair because I secretly think I'm a Poison groupie) — also works to eliminate static electricity. You can spray it directly on your clothes, just make sure to keep the can a good distance away from the garment so you don't end up with a sticky coating and/or stains. You just want to mist it. You can also mist yourself with the hairspray. Either way. Similarly, body lotion — rubbed on yourself or very sparingly on clothes — will work. The direct application, garment-wise, is best reserved for use on socks and hosiery, since you probably aren't too psyched about the notion of smearing cream all over your clean sweater. If you dig on the notion of rubbing yourself with things, you can also rub the garments down with a dryer sheet.
And lastly, in a pinch you can fasten a safety pin in the seam of the clingy garment; the metal will counteract the electricity, leaving the fabric to lie flat.
I'm ironing! Hooray! But some of my shirts say cool iron/no iron — what the??? Honestly, they could look a little crisper, can I do anything? They also look a lot less wrinkled than when I hung them after drying them a few days ago … dunno, I just want to look pretty, pretty handsome.
It sounds like what you've got on your hands are no-iron shirts. Which are great in that they don't wrinkle in the same way that other dress shirts do, but they also don't come out of the wash perfectly pressed either. So if that's what you're going for — and truly, I applaud you for that goal — you're going to have to do a wee bit of post-laundering work.
In general, unless the shirt is made of some super high tech material, ironing will be just fine. If you're worried or just want to test things out, turn the shirt inside out before pressing — that way, if the fabric does react badly to the heat (usually it will get a bit shiny if it's truly not designed to tolerate heat) then you've found out without ruining the exterior of the shirt. You can also use a pressing cloth, which is placed over the item you're ironing to protect it from the direct heat of the iron. Would you like to know a little bit more about pressing cloths from a woman who says things like, "I use a press cloth every time the iron touches the fabric's right side. I wouldn't go out in the hot sun without sunscreen, and I wouldn't put a hot iron on fabric's face without a press cloth"?? SURE YOU WOULD!
But back to your iron: start with a low-heat setting to see how things go and then gradually ratchet the heat up if the shirt seems to be doing A-OK under the iron. Another thing that will help immensely with items that call for a cool iron is starch.
Oh man. I'd talk about my feelings for starch, but I'd just embarrass myself. I … love it more than Bleachie. Seriously.
You know that nice shirt I have with the pink and blue stripes?? It came out of the wash all … weird. Like the collar and cuffs and supports for the buttons are stiffer than the rest of the shirt so they came out not wrinkly, exactly, but kind of, well, the supports for the buttons look like a long strip of bacon down the center of my chest when I put it on.
Do I just have to iron it every time, or did I do something wrong? It said to wash it in warm water, but I put it in with all the other cold stuff, because they were colors that I was trying to protect! I am dumb :-/
If this question reads as a touch familiar, it's because it's from Boyfriend of Clean Person. And you all know me well enough to know that the ensuing conversation sounded something like this:
Jolie Cleanperson: I'm howling at the notion of you with a giant strip of bacon running down your pelt. Related — now I am hungry.
BoCP: Joles.
Jolie Cleanperson: I'm going to hang bacon around your neck.
BoCP: Jolie.
Jolie Cleanperson: FINE IT'S WEIRD BUT ALSO DELICIOUS SOUNDING?
BoCP: JOLIE!
Which is to say that he should be sainted for putting up with me.
Anyway! This is actually a really common thing that happens when you machine- or hand-wash dress shirts rather than sending them out, so it's worth letting folks know NOT TO PANIC. Sometimes they come out looking funny, especially if the collar, cuffs and/or placket has been treated to be stiffer than the fabric of the body of the shirt. The solution is indeed to iron — or steam — the shirt post-laundering. Simple.
Laundry season question: what should I do with my shirts? I have to dress hyper-conservative for work; my solution was to have a bunch of beautiful cotton shirts made for me in the far east. They are like fancy men's shirts — they have french cuffs, stiff collars and a blind front. The problem is that I have no idea how to take care of them, particularly when it comes to the ironing. So I send them out with my dry cleaning. What I would love to have from you is EITHER instructions on how to wash and iron and hang them OR a Clean Person's absolution that I can send them out and not be that hoity-toity lawyer who can't look after herself.
Wait first of all, I want to take a minute to comment on the awesomeness of your collection of custom-made shirts. I absolutely love it! For many, many years I've been a professional woman who's relied on the ease of a "uniform" to make the process of getting dressed in the morning, while ensuring that I look fashionable and appropriate, as easy as possible. I just think it's great, and you know what? So does our President, who made a point of telling of telling the Barnard College class of 2012 that "you can be stylish and powerful too." Which? AHHHHHH. (Also: clean and powerful. You can be clean and powerful too!)
With that bit of gushing out of the way, I am officially ABSOLVING YOU. *dips fingers in the font of Holy Bleach, makes the sign of the Clorox* Send 'em out! There is absolutely nothing about sending fancy shirts out — especially ones with French cuffs and such, which require a tremendous amount of skill and patience to iron properly — that's "hoity toity" or suggests that you don't know how to take care of yourself. You're a lawyer, girl! Do you think a single one of your male counterparts worries himself with sending his shirts out? The answer is NO. So don't you do it too. /feminist cheerleading.
But! If you want to do your own shirts, here is a kind of hilariously bad — but honestly informative — YouTube Series on how to iron shirts for you to take a peek at.
Previously: Laundry School, Week 1; Laundry School, Week 2.
Jolie Kerr is not paid to endorse any of the products mentioned in this column, but she sure would be very happy to accept any free samples the manufacturers care to send her way!

Prime Minister-elect Tony Abbott believes there is every reason to be sceptical about Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad's sincerity about joining a chemical weapons ban.
But he hopes a diplomatic solution can be found.
US President Barack Obama has asked Congress to delay voting on US military action in Syria, arguing that Russia's plan to neutralise its ally's chemical weapons must be given a chance.
President Obama said in a televised speech that the Assad regime had admitted it had the weapons and "even said they'd join the chemical weapons convention, which prohibits their use".
Mr Abbott welcomed the speech but voiced some doubts about the regime's commitment.
"I welcome the president's announcement that - because of the credible threat of US military action against Syria - the Assad regime may be prepared to join the chemical weapons convention, which prohibits their use," Mr Abbott said in a statement on Wednesday.
"Given Assad's record, there is every reason to be sceptical about his sincerity.
"But Australia, including through our current role as president of the UN Security Council, will give every support to renewed United States efforts at finding a diplomatic solution that would mean Syria never again uses these terrible weapons."

AN inquest has been opened into the death of a Rossendale man who died following a car crash in Ribble Valley.
East Lancashire Coroner Michael Singleton adjourned the hearing into the death of 24-year-old Zolillur Rahman, so that he could hold the inquest of Robert Carson, the other driver killed in the collision at the same time.
Mr Singleton said Mr Rahman had been working at his family's takeaway business in Longridge when the accident happened on November 11.
Mr Rahman's Ford Focus and Mr Carson's Vauxhall Corsa collided head-on at around 10.30pm between the Bulls Head pub and the Wilpshire Hotel in Whalley New Road.
Despite the efforts of paramedics, 35-year-old Robert Carson from Brownhill Road, Blackburn died of his injuries at the scene.
Mr Singleton told the hearing that Mr Rahman suffered trauma to the brain and a collasped lung.
He died from multiple injuries in the Royal Preston Hospital at 4am on November 16.
The inquest was adjourned while police continue their investigations into the incident.

Family members displaced after overnight house fire in Afton
Three family members safely escaped a burning house early today in Afton.
Firefighters responded to a fully engulfed blaze at about 1 a.m. at 4696 Trading Post Trail. Lower St. Croix Fire Department Chief Chris Peterson said the home was "basically a total loss," and displaced the three adults living there.
Washington County tax records indicate the home, valued in 2012 at $454,600, is owned by Michael and Sandra Conroy.
Peterson said the family is living with family members.
Residents were alerted by a smoke alarm after fire broke out in the basement, Peterson said. The fire's cause remained under investigation. Peterson said the fire did not appear to be suspicious.
It's possible one or more cats living in the two-story house may have died in the fire, Peterson said.
No firefighters among the six agencies that responded were hurt in the blaze. Lower St. Croix was assisted by Woodbury, Cottage Grove, Hudson, Lake Elmo and Maplewood fire departments, which helped provide water since the area is not serviced by fire hydrants.

Itdoesn't happen very often, but every once in a great while a new weight loss product comes along that really gets me excited. And, the fact that I get to tell you about it before Dr. Oz features it on his super-popular TV show is "icing on the cake!" The product is called Vysera-CLS, and, unlike your run-of-the-mill "diet pill" that merely helps you lose weight (while following a strict low calorie diet), Vysera can actually reshape your entire body... dropping inch upon inch of unsightly fat from your waist, hips, thighs and tummy… even if you're eating more than 2,000 calories a day! Some people are calling it a "miracle pill." However, this "miracle pill" is backed by serious clinical research published in the highly respected British Journal of Nutrition.
While you and I only care about results (and the results are incredible), the scientists I've spoken to are even more excited about how this compound works. So here we go. In a randomized, doubleblind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, study subjects took the compound along with their main meal of the day. Thirty minutes later, they had a significantly lower percentage of blood glucose increment from baseline, a smaller increase in C-peptide and, forty-five to one hundred twenty minutes after they ate, subjects also experienced a smaller insulin increase compared to placebo. Additionally, with respect to time, researchers observed a significant effect on the hunger hormone ghrelin as well as on satiety and desire to eat. The end result was that the specialized compound was shown to cause a significant reduction in body weight, fat mass, BMI, adipose tissue thickness, and waist/hip/thigh circumference while maintaining lean body mass.
People who took this incredible compound not only lost weight, but lost a significant amount of squishy, flabby, unattractive body fat from those hard-to-target places we all hate: our hips, thighs and butt. It also caused a significant reduction in the amount of fat around the waist (yes, that means you can start saying goodbye to your love handles), helping study subjects achieve that tight, sexy, firm figure we all dream of. And the best part? The compound did all this on 2,000 to 2,200 calories a day! In other words, without requiring anybody to follow a low-calorie diet or work out for hours every day! Think of it this way...it's sort of like eating a whole donut, but only absorbing the calories from a couple of bites. How's that for amazing? (Of course, we don't advocate eating a donut as a meal, and this example is used for illustrative purposes only.)
A company here in the USA has acquired the patented compound and added a proprietary mood-elevating, feel-good energy component to help eliminate diet fatigue and get you through the day with a smile on your face (another added benefit). This unique formula has been exclusively licensed to Bremenn Clinical under the trade name Vysera™- CLS. And trust me on this… once you start taking it and see how quickly it transforms your entire body, you'll be a believer, too.
It seems there's always a catch with "diet" pills... so what's the catch with Vysera? The price. A full 30-day supply of Vysera will cost you about $100... in other words, don't go looking for it at your local Walmart. Until it becomes fully distributed in December of 2013, your best bet is to order Vysera directly from Bremenn Clinical at VyseraCLS.com or call 800-720-3975.

Cozumel and Grand Caymans

Hi DSR, Cozumel has some great beaches. Chankanaab is my favorite because of the snorkeling. Paradise is very similar to Chankanaab, but doesn't have good snorkeling or a zoo or as many shops, but does have a nice beach with chairs, restaurant/bar, and water toys. Nachi Cocom is very nice, but you must have reservations, they only allow 100 guests. They have a swim up bar, restaurant, and a nice beach area. (We stopped there to get out of the rain, so didn't check out the snorkeling). There's a Carlos 'n Charlies, and many more on the way down to the southern end. Chankanaab and Paradise will be the least expensive to get to via cab, Nachi too. There's plenty of shopping at either port there, too.
Grand Cayman my favorite beach is 7 mile. There have been some good posts for Rum Point, but we haven't been there, yet. The snorkeling is really good in Grand Cayman. There's a dive shop (Abanks) that used to let you go into the water there, plenty of wrecks right by the tender area as well as coral and sea life. Stingray City is the main attraction there, which we've done a couple of times. I'm just as happy taking a bus done to 7 mile and spending time there or snorkeling. It's a shopper's haven there, too.
Have a wonderful time!

ALWAYS...PATSY CLINE Opens Tomorrow at Peninsula Players Theatre
The toe-tapping, heartfelt musical "Always...Patsy Cline" created and originally directed by Ted Swindley is based on a true story. It opens Sept. 3 at Peninsula Players Theatre, America's oldest professional resident summer theater and Door County's theatrical icon. "Always...Patsy Cline" features more than 25 of Cline's classic songs and will run for seven weeks closing Sunday, Oct. 19 with a 4 p.m. matinee.
Patsy Cline, a legendary singer with an unforgettable emotive voice, blazed the trail for female singers in the country music industry. Her untimely death in a 1963 plane crash created a reverence around her recordings.
This down-home musical tells the story of the music legend's friendship with her devoted fan Louise Steger, a Texas housewife. The two gals met at one of Patsy's concerts and became fast-friends and pen pals. As Louise narrates Patsy's life story, timeless Cline classics like "Crazy," "Walkin After Midnight," "She's Got You," "Faded Love" and "I Fall to Pieces" come alive.
"The show is based on factual events," said Brian Russell, director of "Always...Patsy Clline." "Louise is a real person, and the story she tells about meeting Patsy absolutely happened. I don't want to say any more than that, at this point, because I don't want to give anything away. I've found in the past that many folks walk into this piece not knowing anything about this story and I don't want to give away any 'spoilers!'"
Russell makes his directorial debut at the Players but has directed other productions of "Always...Patsy Cline." Russell has more than 20 years of experience directing plays, musicals and operas. He was producing artistic director of Chicago's American Theater Company where he directed more than a dozen shows including "Medea" and "The Threepenny Opera."
Cline had a powerful and unique voice. She was one of country music's first artist to "cross-over" into pop music, with immortalizing singles like "Crazy," "She's Got You" and "Leavin' on Your Mind." Cline was the first female solo artist to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame and after her untimely death still sold millions of records.
"A lot of our focus has been on making every moment emotionally truthful and rooting the approach to each song in recognizable human behavior," Russell said. "In one of the early rehearsals, I spoke with both Christine (Mild) and Karen (Janes Woditsch) and I talked about wanting to discover the clarity and complexity of every moment of the show. Christine, I think, coined the term 'clariplexity' out of that, and we have been using it in rehearsal ever since. "
Christine Mild makes her Peninsula Players debut as Patsy Cline, a role she has performed six other times at theaters from Florida to Montana. Mild's Chicago credits include "Godspell" and "Les Miserables" at Marriott Theatre and "Fiddler on the Roof" at The Paramount Theatre. Her regional theater credits include the national tour of "Nunset Boulevard," "My Fair Lady" with Asolo Rep Theatre, and being Patti LuPone's stand-in and understudy for "Annie Get Your Gun" at Ravinia Festival.
Karen Janes Woditsch ("Murder on the Nile," "Chicago" and "Fox on the Fairway") returns to Peninsula Players from various projects in Chicago. She was nominated for a Joseph Jefferson award for her portrayal of Julia Child in "To Master the Art" with TimeLine Theatre. Her additional credits include work at Writers Theatre, Court Theatre, Goodman Theatre, Chicago Shakespeare and Northlight Theatre.
Malcolm Ruhl makes his Peninsula Players debut as musical director of "Always...Patsy Cline" and plays piano for Cline's six-member band, The Bodacious Bobcats. Ruhl played Jackson in the Broadway production of "Pump Boys and Dinettes" and was recently nominated for a Joseph Jefferson award, Chicago's version of the Tony, for his musical direction of "Hank Williams: Lost Highway." He has extensive credits in musical theater including "Blues in the Night" and "Smoke on the Mountain" at Northlight Theatre, "Big River" at Apple Tree Theatre, "Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story" at Drury Lane Theatre.
Cline's backup band, The Bodacious Bobcats, is comprised of pianist Ruhl, fiddle player and guitarist Lynn Gudmundsen ("Dirty Work at the Crossroads"), bassist Craig McClelland, pedal steel guitarist Louis Jay Meyers, percussionist Bruce Newbern ("A Little Night Music") and guitarist George Sawyn.
Gudmundsen calls Door County home and is classically trained but found her fiddle voice through the genres of folk, blues, country and bluegrass. She has fond memories of playing with Willie Nelson, who wrote "Crazy," at the Door Community Auditorium.
McLelland is a composer as well as performer. His compositions were recently featured at the UNM International Composer's Symposium in Albuquerque, New Mexico and the Phoenix Experimental Arts Festival.
Meyers has been a musician for 40 years, performing live and recording on guitar, banjo, and pedal steel guitar. His credits include recordings or performances with Willis Alan Ramsey, Bruce Robison, Killbilly, The Killer Bees, Tennessee Boltsmokers and many others. Meyers is co-founder, creator and former director of the South by Southwest Music and Media Conference (SXSW) and is executive director of the Folk Alliance International organization and conference in 2005.
Newbern plays accordion, guitar and/or banjo as one of the Gazebo Guys and plays in various pit bands at local theaters such as American Folklore Theatre. He directs a contemporary music group at Bay View Lutheran Church and teaches general music at St. John Bosco School in Sturgeon Bay.
Sawyn has played guitar since 1967 and is fluent in a variety of styles including jazz, rock, country and classical music. He performed and recorded with many of the county's best musicians, and did session work at Hans Christian's Studio 330. He performs regularly in the Door County area as a solo guitarist.
The award-winning creative team includes scenic designer J Branson, a Chicago-based designer for more than 20 years; lighting designer Jason Fassl ("Butler" and "Lombardi"); costume designer Pam Rehberg ("The Tin Woman" and "Making God Laugh")' properties designer Jesse Gaffney ("Miracle on South Division Street," and "Butler"); and sound designer Josh Horvath ("Chicago," "Once a Ponzi Time" and "Is He Dead? " Branson makes his Players design debut with "Always...Patsy Cline."
"Always...Patsy Cline" is sponsored by Kenneth Raupach, with support from the Cordon Family Foundation.
Peninsula Players Theater is a professional theater employing members of the Actors' Equity Association, the union of professional actors and stage managers and the United Scenic Artists Union of America.
Peninsula Players has been entertaining and exciting audiences since 1935, when the theater opened behind the Bonnie Brook Motel in Fish Creek on July 25, with Noel Coward's "Hay Fever." The company was founded by a brother and sister team, Caroline and Richard Fisher, who dreamed of an artistic utopia in the north woods where actors, designers and technicians could focus on their craft while being surrounded by nature in a contemplative setting. Peninsula Players moved to the theater's present location along the shore of Green Bay in 1937.
Prior to performances, patrons picnic and relax on the grounds while watching the setting sun over the waters of Green Bay from the cedar-lined shore and enjoy the ambience of the Beer Garden and other gardens.
The Peninsula Players performs "Always...Patsy Cline" Tuesdays through Sundays at 7p.m. with a 4 p.m. matinee Sunday, Oct. 5 and Oct. 19. Individual and group tickets are also available. Individual ticket prices range from $38 to $44. There are no performances on Mondays. For more information or to reserve tickets phone the Peninsula Players box office at 920-868-3287 or visit the website at www.peninsulaplayers.com.

What The 10 Best Neo-Soul Artists Have Been Up To
With his erotic visual to "How Does it Feel", D'Angelo proved that he is one fine man who looks pretty damn amazing greased up with no clothes on.
Not only was he sexy (as hell) to look at, but ooh-wee, he had the voice to match. But then again, you already knew that after listening to his debut album, Brown Sugar.
After years of dealing with legal troubles, the sensual crooner hit the stage once more at the 2012 BET awards showing that he still had it. The 39-year-old is now working on his third studio album, James River, alongside Questlove. There has been no release date for the album yet, but we're anxiously waiting.

Bird survey could be Britain's biggest
The biggest ever survey of Britain's bird population is expected to take place over the weekend.
Conservation charity, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), is encouraging members of the public to spend an hour on Saturday or Sunday counting the birds in their garden or local park.
Last year's survey surprised organisers by revealing the sparrow had been knocked off its perch by the starling and blue tit as the most common garden bird.
There was also concern about the total number of birds, as even starlings were found in half the numbers they were five years ago.
Best results
The RSPB, which has organised the survey every year since 1979, says people should go out in their gardens in the morning to get the best results.
This is because birds normally feed at this time after the cold winter nights. RSPB spokesman Andy Waters said: "The survey is great fun and very popular.
"We hope that everyone who enjoys birds will be able to help us to build up a picture of how garden birds are faring all over the UK."
In the past, the survey became one of the first to show a fall in song thrush numbers in British gardens.
The numbers of many familiar garden birds are declining rapidly, and the RSPB says that if this is to be tackled it is important to gather as much information about these birds as possible.
Since the early 1970's the population of song thrushes has fallen by 50%.
Between 1975 and 1998, house sparrows decreased across the UK by nearly 60% and they have almost disappeared from the centres of London and Glasgow.
