|METHOD FOR DETERMINING WETTABILITY OF POROUS MATERIALS - Method for determining wettability of porous materials comprises placing a sample of a porous material into a cell of a calorimeter and contacting the sample with a wetting fluid. A heat flow into the cell is continuously measured. Based on results of the measurement and taking into account a thermal effect of the fluid compression, a first wetting contact angle of pores filled with the wetting fluid is calculated. Then, a pressure in the cell containing the sample is increased starting from an initial value until pores of the sample are completely filled with the fluid. Then, the pressure is reduced to the initial value while continuously measuring of a heat flow into the cell. The method enables calculation of a second wetting contact angle for pores completely filled with the fluid and of a third wetting contact angle for pores free from the fluid.
|MICRO VISCOMETER - Disclosed is a micro viscometer comprising a body including an inlet where a fluid flows in, an outlet where the fluid flows out, a first chamber and a second chamber that is connected to the inlet and the outlet, respectively, a substrate and a cover that partition multiple micro channels that connect the first chamber and the second chamber; a first thin film that vibrates with the fluid within the first chamber and locates on the side of the first chamber; a second thin film that vibrates with the fluid within the second chamber and locates on the side of the second chamber; an actuating part that applies vibration onto the fluid within the first chamber by conducting vibration through the first thin film; a sensing part that senses vibration or pressure onto the fluid that transfers through the micro channels to the second thin film through vibration of the first thin film.

The FTAA rolled into town last week, and with it came truckloads of thoughtful, peaceful, smelly individuals with something to say. Miami played host to a muddy spectrum of grassroots activists: old retirees, blue-collar workers, and America's bleeding heart, college students from the Pacific Northwest. But we weren't very gracious. What did they encounter here? An apocalyptic, John Carpenter version of the city, complete with a task force of thousands of cops in full-on Judgment Day gear, that's what. The police were the party poopers at an otherwise jamming protest.

Of course everybody knows by now about the disastrous get-together in downtown between cops and protesters. But the fact that continues to slip by big media in Miami is what fantastic fun it all was, before the tear gas and rubber bullets. I was strutting along with the tail end of the main march on Thursday, which will probably be the last time the AFL-CIO coordinates an event with the city. It was kicking. Drums. Dancing. Chanting. The march was really one big, happy festival. The mixed crowd was unbelievable; no club promoter I know could have pulled it off. You had rebellious Brazilians hopping next to the good ol' union fellas; in turn they were high-fiving the dolphin heads (who were the hit of the parade). The only thing that didn't work for me was the pickup factor. Leftist chicks aren't easy.
Other than that, the congregation was an absolute feel-good "fuck you" to uncaring governments and corporations. A few local personalities joined in the festivities, including electronic music activist Steven Castro and DJ Induce. I also took home a couple of fashion pointers. First off, camouflage bandannas are very Miami, while all-black outfits are so Los Angeles. Butterfly wings and sparkles say "vegan." White hazmat suits (for protection against industrial waste) look great with a pair of green Pumas. And I'm almost convinced Teva sandals can make a comeback. On second thought, maybe that was just a week-long fad.

Zia Park: Someplace Else ready to go in Chaves County
Someplace Else has been living someplace else for the last week and a half. The Oklahoma-based filly has been calling Zia Park in Hobbs, N.M., home since Sept. 27, when she shipped into town three days in advance of the $60,000 Chaves County Stakes.
But the Sept. 30 card that the Chaves County was on was canceled, and the race, as well as last weekend's $50,000 Lubbock for Quarter Horses, was brought back for Sunday. The movement of the two stakes has bulked up an already strong card at Zia, which is running twin Quarter Horse features, the Grade 2 Hobbs America Futurity and the Grade 3 Hobbs America Derby.
Zia officials said in a decision made with stewards and horsemen that racing was cancelled Sept. 29-30 because of heavy rain. Someplace Else has had more time than usual to adapt to her surroundings as a result, and that should be a benefit for her as she prepares to take on five other fillies and mares in the one-mile Chaves County.
"She's settled in," said Kelly Von Hemel, who trains Someplace Else for Prairie Lane Farms. "The longer she has to settle in helps her out. She's gotten to train over the track all week.
"It's turned out to be a pretty good deal."
Someplace Else will be looking for her third career stakes win in the Chaves County. She had drawn post 4 the first time the stakes was carded, but got the rail for Sunday.
"I like the outside a little better, but the [rail] is not a big deal for her," Von Hemel said. "She usually breaks really good. We'll have to see how it plays out for her."
Shane Laviolette has the mount on Someplace Else, who will be moving back to dirt, site of her six career wins, off a close third-place finish last out in the $50,000 Ricks Memorial on turf at Remington Park.
Cali Baby could go favored as she will be seeking her third straight stakes. The field of six Sunday has won a combined 44 races during their careers.
* A Dream to Remember and Fastpass Regard, who finished second and third in the $84,000 All American Juvenile on the All American Futurity undercard Sept. 3 at Ruidoso Downs, are both seeking their first stakes wins in the $80,000-added Hobbs America Futurity. The 400-yard race's fastest qualifier was Sashay Hot.
In the $80,000-added Hobbs America Derby at 440 yards, the horse to beat is Feature Mr Bojangles.

Newer packages on an older system?
Will I experience any problems when trying to install a newer package on an older Slackware system? For example installing a package fron Linuxpackages that is designated as 10.0 onto a 9.1 system.
That depends of the package, generally problems come with dependancies not solved.

Sew Simple
A little while ago I needed to make a simple bolero jacket. I went shopping for a pattern thinking it would be an easy find. I found a few choices, but to my dismay, they were all included in much larger patterns—generally paired with a formal gown. I cringed at the idea of wasting so much of the pattern, not to mention paying for something I was never going to use. I thought, "why don't they sell simple, single project patterns?" Well apparently the pattern fairies heard my plea.
This fall Simplicity Pattern Company has introduced a new, inexpensive—only $1.99 each—pattern line. Each envelope includes only one single-view pattern. Though you won't find advanced items, (ties and elastic seem to be this line's best friends), included are great sew-in-one-night projects. There are 70 different patterns offered including tops, jackets, skirts, pants, also children's, household, and crafts.
Do you teach sewing? Consider this line for your students. The projects are easy to sew, the single view format makes it less intimidating, and the price won't break the bank.
What do you think of this a la carte format? Be sure to check out the complete Sew Simple line.

I know just enough to make something but it still looks very much homemade. I'm just getting back in to my sewing after being away from it for over a decade. I find that these patterns, despite potential fit issues, are pretty cool. I think all patterns are going to have fitting issues for one person or another because we all have different body types. I have yet to come across any pattern that fit me just right without making some adjustments. I find that I learn more by that hands on approach, especially when it comes to fixing something. I think all beginner sewers should know that not every pattern you make is going to come out and fit you beautifully every time. I used to have that expectation and it turned me off for a bit and then I realized simply that even the premade clothes, one size to the same size in a different brand or cut are NOT THE SAME size even though the label says it is.
I see it like this, even if the patterns don't fit me straight out the package, my first attempt will fit someone and I learn where I need to pay attention to making any adjustments and then I will learn how to make those adjustments if I want to make this shirt again. The next pattern that comes along, I will know where I have to start checking the pattern to see if it needs adjusting.
Most people who sew that I have come across, if they truly want to learn, they find these a challenge and enjoy the process of making it work for them. Yes I like quick and instant gratification projects, that's why I make home accessories to get that but clothes, I try to take my time even with the simplest pieces.

I like the browm jacket with side tie, and the blue waterfall jacket.
Showing the patterns in plain colours helps too as sewers are often distracted by a print ...we either like the fabric or we don't .........and this distracts us from evaluating the pattern.
Have not seen this line in the UK but will look out for them.

The Wolfhound has become an institution in the past few years. It started out as a back alley bar off the main drag but not on the side where all the new restaurants were popping up. It was a seldom traveled street, and it was easy to get a table there. For a long time it was a well-kept secret amongst the longtimers.
The secret's been out for a while now. Bolstered by their quality hamburgers and their fish and chips, the Wolfhound's popularity has expanded to where one commenter said it was no longer an Irish pub but an Irish nightclub.
Yet the Wolfie still maintains its charm, especially on weekend afternoons. It went through a renovation, getting rid of the big round booth in the corner to expand the kitchen and upgrading a lot of its facilities. Along with the upgraded kitchen, it's also upgraded its menu.
The originals are still there. The steak and mushroom pie is a hit. And if you're brave enough to order it, the toad in a hole is a big block of Yorkshire pudding stuffed with sausages, resting on a pile of mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy.
Joining the classics is a steak sandwich that uses good quality beef. You know when you take a bite out of a cheesesteak and half the meat gets pulled out of the sandwich because of the gristle? The beef the Wolfhound is using doesn't do that.
Some more comfort foods have been added, like grilled cheese sandwiches, which go great with the creamy tomato soup. The BLT is a triple-decker version. And there's a sausage and baked beans dish, which I hear is a childhood favorite of UK expats.
The big attraction for expats is the breakfast. Before the brunch craze began, with restaurants trying to sucker people into paying W20,000 for pancakes, the Wolfhound had a decent English-style breakfast. The big one even included coffee with a shot of whiskey. Now they're going to the extreme by adding both a vegetarian breakfast and a steak and eggs option.
There's a tendency for restaurants to rest on their laurels when they hit success. The Wolfhound keeps trying to compete with itself. It's still a decent place for tucker.

BWW Blog: Cody Williams of R+H's CINDERELLA - Tech!
Witnessing a show come to life is an extremely special experience. While it is true that taking the time to tech through a show can be painfully long, it is equally true that teching a show gives you opportunities to witness moments that you will never forget. Since I don't mind long hours, I have had a great time getting the show up on its feet.
Our tech process at Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella is going smoothly, and from my point of view, it is without much stress. We have been going in to work around 1pm everyday and leaving around 930pm. Like any tech, there can be big chunks of down time, but thanks to the nice lower lobby (complete with dance studio mirrors!) we have had a great place to keep rehearsing while not being used onstage. It has been particularly valuable to me in helping learn the two roles I understudy (Prince Topher and Jean-Michel).
There is a danger of spending your time down in the lower lobby or up in your dressing room during tech. When you choose to spend your time out of sight of the stage, you run the risk of missing truly magical moments. More than any other show I have done, this tech process has been full of people in the house bursting into applause and yelling in delight as things happen onstage. I will never forget the look on everyone's face (onstage and off) the first time that Cinderella walked into the ball in full costume. The entire room was frozen by how beautifully radiant she was. No acting required!
When Andy Mills and I walked onstage for the first time as the Footman and Driver, we got applause. I couldn't be any more thrilled with how special our costumes are and how perfectly they are made for dancing! Discovering how a costume limits your movement is an unpleasant reality of tech. We are lucky because William Ivey Long has done such a masterful job of designing our costumes that they actually enhance our dancing. Andy and I were both shocked when we saw how far we could slide in our new costumes.
One of my favorite days of tech so far was when we teched "Impossible" because finally got to drive the golden carriage that I had been dreaming about since the summer. In an attempt to not give away any secrets, I won't say much about it. I will say, however, it does not disappoint! Teching the golden carriage made for a completely serene afternoon. You know you hit the jackpot when your job is to ride a magical carriage that belongs in Fantasyland.
Let me know what part of R + H's Cinderella you are most excited for @odyilliams on Twitter!

Epoxy Minnows etc.
There are all kinds of Epoxy Minnows on the market and as Patterns to tie.
I haven't worked that hard at making a Solid Epoxy Minnow of any kind but from using Flex Tubing (Pearl Color) I can say that in my modest stature as a tier, I don't think a Solid Epoxy is much of a Necessity.
I've been working on a basic form for Baby Rainbows and Baby Brown Trout and also a Thereadfin Shad imitation.
I think in many patterns, a tail is made of gray marabou or white marabou or such like; but I've just been extending the longer (5-1/2 cm to 6 cm) Flex Tubing beyond the bend of the hook. This requires making a scissors cut on the belly of the rear flext tube of about 3/4" or so to bet past the hook.
About right above the hook point on the shank, I gather in the tubing to form a tight "waist" and do a half-hitch in my 2 lb Flurocarbon thread.
Then I cut a V for the tail.
The Pearl Tubing is flashy but I have several ways of modifying for color.
Any Shad variant gets stuffed with silver / pearl colored Mylar etc.
The Baby Brown Trout gets stuffed with a Yellow/Gold Yarn stuff that has shiny mylar fibers in it.
Rainbows get stuffed with a pink / purple mylar "Gift Shred" from Hobby Lobby, and it gives a darker pattern (perhaps too dark?).
These can be unweighted, which is I think, the best for a Threadfin Shad, but the Trout forms I weight by using copper wire just behind the eye.
But I long ago abandoned the idea of making a dense and solid "Epoxy Style" minnow.
I just saw no reason to use that much epoxy. I attach 3D eyes ( I prefer the Hareline Dubbing "Oval" style in Pearl, with a greenish tint) and Epoxy over that.
then I dab a little 5 min Epoxy there and there to anchor in any threads that might need it.
I cannot say that I have any knowledge about one Epoxy being better than another, but I did find this out.
The Permatex brand of 5 Minute Epoxy comes in the same style of tube as Devcon Epoxy. The style of "cap" that these have, makes repeated opening and closing of the tube Much easier to work with. There is Less general "leakage" and the Epoxy tends not to Get---All--Over---Everything on the tying bench.
I did find a particular kind of Nail Polish that makes a rather nice grey coloration for the back of the Threadfin Shad. This is the Nicole Brand and the color is
NI F11. Got that at the Wal-Mart. I bought it on a hunch, and it looks so realistic when applied that I was quite surprised.

I already posted on here but it was a long time ago.
I started out taking FemconFE (the chewable birth control.) That made me very nauseous for months and did not provide relief of my heavy periods. It did however, give my skin a nice glow and clear up my skin. No weight gain. Don't remember it doing anything to my hair.
Then I took YAZ when it first came out, and my gyno was convinced it would help my acne. Instead, my acne got rash like, red and painful. I was taken off of it quickly, never really finding out how it would affect my period. I think it did something to my hair too, made it frizzy.
Then 4 months ago, I was put on Loestrin 24. My skin looks amazing, I put on no weight, but it did absolutely nothing for my periods. They last 4 days, but they are just as heavy. last month I had hot flashes, vomiting and diarrhea at night on it. My blood pressure was all over the place too.
Now I'm on Lybrel, started it 2 weeks ago. Had nausea at first but it's totally gone now. Now I'm hoping everything goes well these next couple months with weight/acne/periods/hair. Haha.
