"Our employees are more productive and can respond to customer requests more quickly so it is a win-win for all involved. And, as a company, we are maximizing our revenue. Capital management has improved enormously thanks to Fujitsu's Managed Mobile solution"
Ari Ponkka, IT Manager, Maintpartner Group
Maintpartner Group started as an independent company in November 2006. The company's experience in industrial maintenance dates back to the 1980s when the power company Imatran Voima, later known as Fortum, decided to expand its operations beyond power generation. Today, Maintpartner provides services to ensure the availability of technical processes within the production industry and public sector. It is one of the leading technical service companies in the Baltic Sea region. Approximately 1,800 employees in Finland, Sweden, Estonia and Poland generate annual net sales of €170 million.
Maintpartner engineers traditionally recorded details of their jobs by hand on paper to be filed at the office at a later date. This was inefficient and subject to human error so the company wanted to introduce a streamlined mobile workflow solution.
Maintpartner worked with local IT partner Isoworks, Fujitsu and Citrix to design and deploy a mobile workflow solution. Now, business critical applications are hosted at Isoworks and delivers to pre-configured mobile devices in the field.

When exploring our options, we wanted to go someplace we hadn't been before and decided on Rusty Bucket. It's a "local" chain that has locations in Ohio and Michigan.
There's a nice patio outside...
Inside is a good sized bar - it's got the bar in the front and a big section of tables in the back. Fairly "sports bar" or TGIFridays sort of feeling to it.
We were pretty hungry and couldn't decide between burgers and chili dogs so we decided to split them. First up, the chili dogs - 2 for $7.95 with fries and relish.
Strangely enough Lisa had never had relish!?! What the ???? She tried a bit on one - she said she likes pickles but had never tried relish...at least I got her to try it!
These were pretty good. The fries are really good. The dogs - not bad! I still love the A&W chili dogs... It's also strange how accustomed I've become to Skyline - that's some good stuff!
So I say they're pretty good but I won't be running back for them. The chili is a thick chunky (not Cincinnati) chili - pretty good. Overall - fine dogs.
We also shared a Patty Melt ($8.95). It was fine. The fries were again really good. The patty melt had a bit of an after taste - maybe burned or oil? And they didn't serve it with ranch or anything - which always is a good compliment. The burger didn't have much flavor and it was just okay. I wouldn't order it again.
With the Pilot Inn so close - for lunch - I wouldn't go back.
Then it was on to Yagööt for our free mango frozen yogurt!
If you haven't been - you need to go. Yagööt is owned by Busken so it's a Cincinnati original. There's a new one opening at Kenwood later this year. The look is so fresh and clean - definitely a hint of what's to come!
Yagööt has fresh fruit that they chop daily and serve as toppings for the frozen goodness. It's soooo fresh and delicious!
They also have a wide range of other toppings from coconut to Cap'n Crunch to this wierd tofu stuff that we tried (yuck!). I typically get the fruit but these would be a great addition too.
And here we go - the new mango flavor with fresh raspberries.
The thing about Yagööt - it doesn't taste like any other frozen yogurt I've had before. Frankly - I hate yogurt. It's gross. Sour and funky. I love TCBY - oye - it was my college favorite! This is neither.
Yagööt is tangy and tart and fresh and just damn good! It's odd how it doesn't taste like anything I've had before. The first bite I wasn't sure...I didn't like it. But then...another bite and another...and I loved it!
Until now they just had the plain flavor but now they have the mango. I don't actually like mango much but I liked this flavor a lot! I have to say - I kinda liked it more than the plain.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama pushed back hard against Republican critics of his health care overhaul plan Monday, vowing to fight "the politics of the moment" but also giving ground on his tight timetable for passage of legislation.
"We can't afford the politics of delay and defeat when it comes to health care," Obama said after meeting with doctors, nurses and other health care workers at Children's National Medical Center. "There are too many lives and livelihoods at stake."
Without mentioning his critic by name, the president recounted South Carolina Republican Sen. Jim DeMint's comment that stopping Obama's bid for health care overhaul could be the president's "Waterloo," a reference to the site of Napoleon's bitter defeat.
"This isn't about me," Obama responded. "This isn't about politics. It is about a health care system that is breaking American families."
'Politics of the moment'
Striking a more populist tone than in past remarks, the president complained that "health insurance companies and their executives have reaped windfall profits from a broken system."
He criticized those "fighting reform on behalf of powerful special interests" and others out to put off action for "another day, another year, another decade.
"Let's fight our way through the politics of the moment," Obama said. "Let's pass reform by the end of this year."
That reflects a shift in his repeated timetable. Obama had said previously that he wanted the House and Senate to vote on legislation before lawmakers leave town for their August recess, with a comprehensive bill for him to sign in October.
Obama spoke after the chairman of the Republican Party called the president's push for health care overhaul "socialism," and accused him of conducting a risky experiment that will hurt the economy and force millions to drop their current coverage.
Michael Steele, in remarks at the National Press Club, also said the president, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and key congressional committee chairmen are part of a "cabal" that wants to implement government-run health care.
"Obama-Pelosi want to start building a colossal, closed health care system where Washington decides. Republicans want and support an open health care system where patients and doctors make the decisions," Steele said.
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
Asked if Obama's health care plan represented socialism, Steele responded: "Yes. Next question."
Obama is struggling to advance his trademark health care proposal after a period of evident progress. Two of three House committees have approved their portions of the bill, while one of two Senate panels have acted. A Washington Post-ABC News survey released Monday shows approval of Obama's handling of health care reform slipping below 50 percent for the first time. The poll had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
The president, who spent most of last week making his plea for health care overhaul, was pressing his case hard again this week, first at the children's hospital, and later this week in a prime-time news conference Wednesday and a town hall in Ohio on Thursday.
Conservative Democrats have raised objections to some elements of the legislation, and efforts in the Senate to reach a bipartisan agreement have yet to bear fruit.
New taxes on the rich
Pelosi is floating an idea that could make proposed tax increases more palatable to conservative Democrats. She would like to limit income tax increases to couples making more than $1 million a year and individuals making more than $500,000, Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly said Monday. The bill passed by the House Ways and Means Committee last week would increase taxes on couples making as little as $350,000 a year and individuals making as little as $280,000.
Pelosi wants to make up the lost revenue by getting health care providers to agree to additional cost savings, Daly said, though he did not have an estimate on how much additional savings would be needed.
The original tax proposal would raise $544 billion over the next decade. More than 90 percent of the money would come from couples making more than $1 million a year and individuals making more than $500,000, according to an analysis by the Tax Policy Center. That means Pelosi would have to find just under $50 billion in additional savings.Video: Steele: Voters won't stand for 'foolish' plan
The Republican officials said they were supplementing Steele's speech with a round of television advertising designed to oppose government-run health care. The 30-second commercial, titled "Grand Experiment," criticizes recent government aid to the auto industry and banks as "the biggest spending spree in our history" and warns similarly of "a risky experiment with our health care."
The GOP ads show children who presumably would be burdened as adult taxpayers with the cost of the health care overhaul. The commercials are being broadcast in Nevada, home of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, as well Arkansas and North Dakota, states represented in the Senate by moderate Democrats. The ad is also being posted on the Internet, in coordination with a grass-roots campaign.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the nation's largest business group, planned to announce ads of its own Tuesday criticizing the government-run insurance proposal, saying it would threaten employer-provided coverage.
R. Bruce Josten, the group's top lobbyist, said the campaign would begin with a $2 million budget and include newspaper and Internet ads, as well as efforts to drum up public support across the country. The ads will appear in Capitol Hill newspapers beginning Tuesday, then in coming days be placed in newspapers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Colorado, Nebraska and other states where lawmakers are wavering on the subject.
Citing liberal and labor groups that have run ads criticizing Democrats who have not endorsed the health care effort, Josten said, "It's time to push back a little bit."
Insurance industry weighs in
Separately, the insurance industry, which challenged President Bill Clinton's health care effort in the early 1990s, launched a $1.4 million ad campaign, its first TV ads of this year's health care fight.
The multimillion-dollar campaign, being aired nationally on cable stations, restates the industry's support for an overhaul that provides universal coverage and its offer to cover people who are already sick. The ad campaign does not mention the insurers' strong opposition to creating a government-run insurance option.
An official disclosed the cost of the campaign on condition of anonymity as the numbers have not been made public.

Muslim officials condemn abductions of girls
The abduction three weeks ago of hundreds of schoolgirls in Nigeria by the Muslim extremist group Boko Haram is now generating worldwide attention and condemnation. Muslim leaders in various countries have criticized Boko Haram's leader for using Islamic teachings as his justification for threatening to sell the girls into slavery. Others have focused on what they view as a slow response by Nigeria's government to the crisis. The British and French governments announced Wednesday that they would send teams of experts to complement the U.S. team heading to Nigeria to help with the search for the girls, and Nigeria's president said China has also offered assistance.
Some of the reactions to the crisis:
-- EGYPT: Religious Endowments Minister Mohammed Mohktar Gomaa said "the actions by Boko Haram are pure terrorism, with no relation to Islam, especially the kidnapping of the girls."
Sheik Ahmed el-Tayeb of the Cairo-based Al-Azhar, one of Sunni Islam's most prestigious institutions, said the abductions "completely contradict Islam and its principles of tolerance."
-- PAKISTAN: Dawn, an English language newspaper, published an opinion piece that takes Nigeria to task for not moving against Boko Haram. "The popular upsurge in Nigeria in the wake of the latest unspeakable atrocity provides some scope for hoping that the state will finally act decisively to obliterate the growing menace," wrote columnist Mahir Ali.
-- INDONESIA: In the world's most populous Muslim-majority country, the Jakarta Post published an editorial Wednesday condemning the Boko Haram leader for "wrongly" citing Islamic teaching as his excuse for selling the abducted girls into slavery. Recalling the Taliban's shooting of 15-year-old Pakistani girl Malala Yousafzai in 2012 because of her outspokenness in defense of girls' right to an education, the editorial said: "Malala's message needs to be conveyed to all people who use their power to block children's access to education. It is saddening that religion is misused to terrorize people and to kill the future leaders of the world."
The newspaper also criticized Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan, noting that "only after international condemnation and street demonstrations poured in did President Jonathan tell his nation that he would take all necessary actions to return the young women to their parents and schools, while also acknowledging that the whereabouts of the abductees remained unknown."
-- SWEDEN: In an editorial posted on the left-wing news website politism.se, blogger Nikita Feiz criticized the international community for its slow response and asked why the situation hadn't triggered as loud a reaction as when Malala was shot in Pakistan. "Looking at the situation in Nigeria, Malala appears like a false promise from the West that it would stand up for girls' rights to attend school without fear of being subjected to sexual exploitation and abuse," she said. "It is difficult not to draw the conclusion that the West's assurance to act for girls' rights suddenly isn't as natural when it comes to girls' rights in a country in Africa."
-- UNITED STATES: The U.S. government is sending to Nigeria a team of technical experts, including American military and law enforcement personnel skilled in intelligence, investigations, hostage negotiating, information sharing and victim assistance, as well as officials with expertise in other areas. Fewer than 10 military troops are also going.
In an editorial, The New York Times faulted the Nigeria's president: "It wasn't until Sunday, more than two weeks after the kidnappings, that he called a meeting of government officials, including the leader of the girls' school, to discuss the incident."
-- BRITAIN: Prime Minister David Cameron's office said Britain will send a small team of experts to Nigeria, following protests over the weekend outside the Nigerian Embassy in London and editorials calling for action. Jonathan's office later issued a statement saying Britain would use satellite images and other tracking technologies to help in the search.
-- FRANCE: A specialized French team will be arriving soon in Nigeria, according to President Francois Hollande's office. It wasn't immediately clear if the team was made up of a special military unit or intelligence agents. France also said it would make available observation equipment. France has satellite means and two unarmed American-made drones in neighboring Niger used to track extremists in Mali.
-- CHINA: Premier Li Keqiang visited Nigeria on Wednesday and met with Jonathan, whose office said the Chinese leader promised that his government "will make any useful information acquired by its satellites and intelligence services available to Nigeria's security agencies." The statement also said China will support "Nigeria's fight against terrorism in every possible way, including the training of military personnel for anti-insurgency operations."
Associated Press correspondents Lee Keath in Cairo, Michelle Faul in Lagos, Nigeria, Gregory Katz in London, Malin Rising in Stockholm and Masha Macpherson in Paris contributed.

This wknd I'm planning on doing this ride so figured I'd finish this post from 3 months ago(!).
Waaaaay back on Memorial Day wknd I finally rode up to Mt. Wilson on dirt, using the cross bike. I took roads out past the Pasadena Aquatic Center, the Rose Bowl and all those exercising bodies then up through the JPL trailhead. From here it's a route we utilize often when mountain biking: Brown Mountain fire road -> 3 points -> Millard -> Sunset Ridge (paved and steep!) -> The intersection with the Echo Mountain trail. Normally we'd then shoot down the Sunset Ridge single track -> Millard trail -> El Prieto.
On this journey I continued up, where the grade lessens and you are following the old (19th century!) train route. This mbpost.com page has some photos and a description of the trail. Photo is looking south toward Pasadena. Echo mountain is off to the left.
Not long after this and you are surrounded by pine trees and there is no sight of civilization. Even on a holiday weekend I didnt see anyone for the next few hours.
Mt Wilson finally comes into view. Less than a mile from the tunnel you hit Mt. Wilson road, which I have ridden on the road bike many times. After some more climbing, sneaking through a closed gate to snatch some water, texting from the top (gonna be late! sorry!), I descended Mt. Wilson toll road, which is unpaved and apparently closed. Have to admit that on the end of a 6-hour ride it was a little tricky and tough on the upper body. Saw two hikers, who were as surprised to see me as I was them. Then rolled through a closed campground. Suddenly you arrive at Eaton Canyon, crawling with day hikers and their bottled water. No bikes? Oops.
Hit the world's only vegetarian drive-thru on the way back to NELA to grab a recovery peanut butter soymilk shake and then onto the rest of the wknd's exploits.

If it's still true that you wish to utilize it, utilize it in smaller amounts in a more compact kitchen, in order to don't feel too cramped when working in there. Whether or not you get a large or a little kitchen, the exact same is always full of kitchen accessories and essentials. In case you have a kitchen in which you do not find sufficient all-natural light, avoid going for dark colours.
If you prefer to produce your kitchen seem warm and vibrant then you could always go for yellow painted cabinets. Thus, decide on the most suitable wall colors

A very famous theorem of Poncelet states that for an elliptic billiard all $n$-periodic trajectories are tangent to some ellipse. As far as I know, Poncelet proved this theorem while sitting in Russian jail so he didn't write it down. Could anybody give me a reference on a first book or article where the proof was actually given?
I want to make a correct reference in the article I am writing. Moreover, I am also thinking about mentioning a greek mathematician Proclus who lived in the 5th century BC and proved that once a line in an ellipse is tangent to some other smaller ellipse, its reflection is tangent to the smaller ellipse too.

Utility worker punctured pipe in Mass. gas blast
Sun., Nov. 25, 2012
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A utility worker responding to reports of a gas leak in western Massachusetts punctured a pipe that led to a massive explosion that injured 18 people and damaged more than 40 buildings, the state fire marshal announced Sunday.
Friday night's natural gas blast in one of New England's largest cities was caused by "human error," State Fire Marshal Stephen Coan said at a news conference. He didn't name the Columbia Gas Co. worker who caused the explosion, which flattened a strip club, heavily damaged a day care center and scattered debris over several blocks.
Some officials called it a miracle that no one was killed.
Most of the injured were part of a group of gas workers, firefighters and police officers who ducked for cover behind a utility truck just before the blast. Part of the neighborhood already had been evacuated because of reports of a gas leak and odor.
Preliminary reports showed the blast damaged 42 buildings housing 115 residential units. Three buildings were immediately condemned, and 24 others require additional inspections by structural engineers to determine whether they are safe.
Springfield, which is 90 miles west of Boston and has about 150,000 residents, is the largest city in western Massachusetts. It's known as the home of the Basketball Hall of Fame, which is not near the blast site.
The city has been rebuilding from damage caused by a tornado in June 2011.

Rkbaumel brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 32 Designs von 10 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Ball Buddie
Ball Buddie is a self-service Tennis Ball Rental Machine Unit that will be located at public and private tennis courts. People will walk up and pay and then will open the Ball Buddie box to use a tennis ball machine at the courts. Example: a person goes to the public court to meet a friend, that friend can't make it last minute. This person can go to Ball Buddie and rent a ball machine and still play... or those who just want to practice by themselves... point is people will no longer need a partner at the public courts. This has long been available at clubs and private courts, but now is there for the public as well.
Tennis Players of all ages, tennis teams, walk-by traffic. Anyone who plays or may want to play tennis!!!
We want the logo to be fun and inviting. We want it to attract people to use Ball Buddie and to be be comfortable with our product and our logo. It is also important that the logo is clear as to what the product/service is as this is a brand new concept that won't be immediately recognizable. While the name lends itself to the idea of a "character based logo" we would like to see some straight logos as well.
Colors: We are thinking about a palatte of classic tennis colors (court colors, ball colors, etc) The unit itself is going to be a blue metal box and the logo will be on the top of the box. The box will be 3'x3'x'3. The City may limit the size of the logo, so we want somethng clear and attention grabbing - even if is small.

3D TV basics
Q: How does 3D TV work?
A: 3D movies are actually filmed in 3D using two cameras. The two perspectives of the cameras simulate the different perspectives of our left and right eyes.
Different 3D TV manufacturers take slightly different approaches, and there are "active" and "passive" models to choose from (see next question). But the basic idea at work in all 3D TVs is creating "left" and "right" versions of an image on screen. The tricky thing is getting the correct version of the image to the correct eye. That's where the 3D glasses come in.
All current 3D TVs require each viewer to wear compatible glasses in order to be able to see the 3D effects. As of August 2011, most 3D TVs use battery-powered "active" glasses. The lenses alternately block out the left or right images in sync with your TV. Only your right eye sees the right image and only your left eye sees the left image. Active glasses are much more sophisticated than the ones you get at the movie theater, which is why they cost a lot more. "Passive" glasses create separate right and left images in a different, simpler way.
Whether the 3D technology is active or passive, your brain combines the right and left images into one seamless whole, just like it does every day with the slightly different views you get with your right and left eyes. The end result is that most people are able to see a 3D picture.
Q: What's the difference between "active" and "passive" 3D TVs?
A: The first wave of 3D TVs released in 2010 were all active 3D TVs that used shutter-type active 3D glasses. In 2011, most 3D TVs are still active, but some TV makers have also introduced passive 3D models.
Active 3D — Active 3D TVs require viewers to wear battery-powered active shutter glasses to see the 3D effects. These shutter glasses feature LCD lenses that alternately block the view of the right eye and left eye in response to sync signals beamed wirelessly from the TV. Active 3D TVs provide full 1080p picture resolution for each eye. However, the glasses are expensive and usually bulkier than passive glasses, and some viewers are bothered by their high-speed flickering.
Passive 3D — Passive 3D TVs provide a 3D experience that's very similar to watching a 3D movie in a theater. For passive 3D TVs, the screen is doing almost all of the work. Not only are two video images being displayed, but there's also a special screen coating that works with the polarizing passive glasses to create the 3D effect. Passive 3D glasses are lightweight and inexpensive and require no batteries — they're virtually identical to the 3D glasses handed out in movie theaters. Passive 3D provides a picture that's crisp and bright and free of any traces of flicker. Passive 3D technology is less sensitive to a viewer's viewing angle or head movement, which makes it easier for several people to enjoy convincing 3D effects.
Q: Should I buy a 3D TV?
A: If you like the way 3D movies look at the theater and want that experience at home, then you'll probably like 3D TV. And while the selection of available 3D movies is still limited, Hollywood is releasing more titles all the time. See our question about what you can watch in 3D for more info.
You should also consider a 3D model if you're interested in getting top-of-the-line picture quality with your 2D movies and TV shows too. Since displaying 3D video requires a sophisticated, very fast, very responsive TV screen, 3D TVs boast some of the best 2D pictures out there.
Q: If I get a 3D TV, do I need a separate TV for regular 2D viewing?
A: Nope. Everything you watch on your regular TV you can also watch on a 3D TV. This might come as a pleasant surprise if you thought you could only watch the limited amount of 3D material that's been released so far. When you watch regular 2D video on a 3D TV, you won't have to wear 3D glasses and you won't see 3D effects. But you will see a superb picture because 3D screens are more technologically advanced, and produce the best-looking 2D pictures currently available.
Want to watch 3D TV? You need to wear a pair of 3D glasses that are compatible with your 3D set.
Q: Why do I have to wear glasses to watch 3D?
A: Glasses are a key part of how 3D TV works. A 3D TV alternates between "left eye" and "right eye" versions of an image very, very quickly. Whether your 3D TV is active or passive, the glasses ensure that the correct eye sees the correct image at all times. If you try watching a 3D program without 3D glasses, the image will look blurry.
TV makers are working on "glasses-free" 3D TVs, but the general consensus is that they're several years away from being ready for the market.
Q: Do all manufacturers use the same 3D technology?
A: Actually, there are some differences worth knowing about. First, be sure you understand the difference between active and passive 3D TV. Both types can provide a great-looking 3D picture, but one or the other might better suit your viewing preferences. Once you've decided on either active or passive 3D, there are still some other technological differences, like in the way different brands of active 3D TVs communicate with the 3D glasses. That's why you should double-check when buying 3D glasses that they're compatible with your 3D TV — often, that'll mean choosing glasses from the same brand.
Q: What's the resolution of 3D video?
A: That depends on both the video source and the TV. A 3D Blu-ray movie played on a 3D Blu-ray player is the highest-resolution source to feed a 3D TV: there are actually two video streams, each with full 1920 x 1080-pixel resolution. That ensures that both your right and left eye will see a full 1080p high-def image.
3D video from cable and satellite channels reduces resolution by half in order to fit the information into a single standard channel. Resolution is typically 960 x 1080 pixels, which means each eye sees a 540p image. It'll look good, but won't look as crisp as 3D video from Blu-ray.
Q: How is 3D TV different from 3D at the movies?
A: If you've seen a recent 3D movie in a theater, you probably wore the free glasses that were provided. These passive glasses have polarized lenses — they look a lot like standard sunglasses. These glasses are virtually identical to the polarized glasses that are used with passive 3D TVs, so watching a passive 3D TV is very similar to the 3D movie experience in a theater.
Active 3D TVs that use battery-powered shutter glasses can also provide an immersive 3D experience. The shutter glasses cycle 120 times per second to alternately block out the left or right lens in coordination with the video frames flashing on the TV screen. Some people are aware of a slight flickering sensation which can be distracting.
Putting together a 3D TV system
You'll need more than just a 3D TV to enjoy 3D at home — you'll also need glasses for each viewer, a 3D video source, and HDMI cables to connect your 3D gear.
Q: What do I need to watch 3D TV?
A: There are a few key pieces — see our question on how 3D TV works for more details.
A TV screen designed for 3D: You can choose from plasma, LCD, and LED-LCD models.
3D glasses for each viewer: Anyone watching a 3D TV needs to be wearing 3D glasses to see the three-dimensional effect. Make sure the ones you choose are compatible with your brand of 3D TV. To anyone not wearing glasses, a 3D TV picture will look blurry and distorted.
A 3D video source: A true 3D experience begins by feeding your TV a 3D video signal. The best example is a 3D-capable Blu-ray player playing a 3D movie. Most 3D TVs can turn a 2D signal into 3D, but it won't look as convincing.
HDMI cables to connect your 3D gear: HDMI is the only cable type that can carry 3D video. Most recent HDMI cables should be up to the job, especially if they're 2 meters or less in length. If you're buying new cables, look for ones labeled "high-speed," "1.3," or "1.4" to be sure. Check out our article about HDMI and our introduction to 3D TV for more info.
Finally, though it's not strictly necessary to watch 3D, you should also consider a 3D-capable home theater receiver. Check out our question about 3D receivers for more info.
If you plan on switching your 3D video sources through your receiver, you'll need one capable of passing those 3D video signals on to your TV. These days, virtually all home theater receivers are 3D-capable.
Q: I've got a home theater receiver that can't pass 3D video signals. Do I need to get a new one if I want to upgrade to a 3D system?
A: Strictly speaking, a 3D-capable home theater receiver isn't essential to a 3D TV system (see our question on putting together a 3D system for what is). But if you plan on switching your 3D video sources through your receiver, you'll need one capable of passing those 3D video signals on to your TV.
Now, if you don't have a 3D-capable receiver, you could run 3D video signals directly to your TV via HDMI, and run an optical or coaxial digital audio cable to your receiver for surround sound. That's a less-than-ideal solution though.
Having a 3D-capable receiver in your 3D TV system gives you a couple of key benefits. First, you'll still be able to take advantage of your receiver's HDMI switching, and just run a single HDMI cable to your TV (as opposed to running a separate one from your Blu-ray player). Second, you'll still be able to get the ultra-high-resolution soundtracks available on Blu-ray discs, like Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD™. (Those formats require an HDMI connection, so optical or coaxial digital won't cut it.)
Check out our article about setting up your receiver for more info on video connections and HDMI switching. And for more info on Blu-ray player connections, see our article about hooking up your Blu-ray player.
Q: Do my 3D TV and 3D Blu-ray player need to be from the same manufacturer?
A: No. Any 3D-capable Blu-ray player should be able to play with any 2010 or newer 3D-ready or 3D-capable TV. (One exception: if you bought one of the early 3D-ready Mitsubishi DLP models in 2008-2009, you'll need to buy a special converter box to make your set work with current 3D technology.)
Q: Do I need a special HDMI cable for 3D TV?
A: You'll need HDMI cables to connect all your 3D gear, since HDMI is the only cable capable of carrying 3D video. Most recent, good-quality HDMI cables should be up to the job, especially if they're 2 meters or less in length. If you're buying new cables, look for ones labeled "high-speed," "1.3," or "1.4" to be sure. Check out our article about HDMI and our introduction to 3D TV for more info.
Watching 3D TV
Blu-ray players that can play 3D Blu-ray discs are very reasonably priced and provide some added future-proofing.
Q: What will I be able to watch in 3D?
A: More and more 3D Blu-ray movies are being released. And check with your cable or satellite TV provider for details on which 3D channels are available in your area.
Also, most 3D TVs can upconvert 2D video to 3D. Of course, this won't look as convincing as true 3D — that is, movies and TV shows originally shot in 3D — but it will let you enjoy your TV's 3D capabilities more often. 2D-to-3D conversions adds a nice sense of picture depth, but you won't see objects coming out of the screen at you like you sometimes will with true 3D material.
Q: I've heard about 3D TV channels. Will I need special equipment from my cable or satellite provider?
A: From what we've heard, no, at least for now. Because of the way cable and satellite providers are breaking up the 3D signal (two 540p images, instead of the two 1080p images you get from Blu-ray) their existing equipment will be able to handle it. Should they upgrade to higher-resolution 3D channels in the future, you'll likely need new set-top boxes.
Q: Do I have to sit right in front of my 3D TV to get the 3D effect?
A: No. While you shouldn't expect to watch 3D video from the kitchen while you're making dinner, you should be able to get the 3D effect even if you're sitting off to the side.
Q: Can I use the 3D glasses from the movie theater to watch 3D TV?
A: That depends on what kind of 3D TV you have. The passive movie theater glasses will work just fine with passive 3D TVs from brands like LG and Vizio. But most of the 3D TV models currently available are active 3D, which means they require battery-powered "active shutter" glasses.
Q: Can I play a 3D Blu-ray movie on a regular Blu-ray player?
A: Yes. However you will only be able to play it back in 2D mode. 3D mode is only available when using a Blu-ray player that supports 3D content.
Q: When I try to play my 3D Blu-ray movie, my TV's screen goes blank. What's wrong?
A: The problem is likely that one of the components in your system doesn't support 3D video. For example, if you try to play a 3D Blu-ray movie on a TV that can't display 3D, the TV won't know what to do with the signal and the screen will be blank.
The same thing can happen if you're routing your 3D Blu-ray player's video signal through a non-3D home theater receiver. The receiver won't be able to pass 3D video on to your TV, resulting in an empty screen.
Many 3D Blu-ray players require you to choose between 3D and 2D viewing when you load a Blu-ray disc. If you choose 3D, the player switches to 3D mode, and you have a short amount of time to confirm your selection. If you don't confirm, the player assumes you might not be able to see the image, and reverts back to 2D.
Q: When I try to watch a regular 2D movie, my 3D TV's screen goes blank. What's wrong?
A: If your TV's set to display video in 3D only, it may not be able to accept a regular 2D signal. Go into your TV's display menus and select "Auto" (or something similar) — that tells the TV to display any incoming signals, 2D or 3D, rather than only 3D.
Q: I feel nauseated or dizzy when I watch 3D TV. Am I doing something wrong?
A: Short answer: no. Some people may have those kinds of reactions when watching an active 3D TV with shutter glasses, at least initially. One trick that's worked for some folks here at Crutchfield: don't try to focus on the background, just watch the main action in the foreground.
Q: I'm wearing the right 3D glasses, but I'm still not seeing a 3D picture. What's wrong?
A: If the glasses are the active shutter type, first make sure they're turned on — there's usually a power button somewhere on the frames although some of the latest glasses switch on automatically when picked up. If they won't turn on, then the battery may need to be recharged or replaced.
If the glasses are powered on and you're still not seeing a 3D picture, double-check that your 3D TV and 3D video source are both in 3D mode.
If that still doesn't do it, you may be one of the 5-10% of people who can't see the 3D effect in 3D video.
Q: My cable/satellite provider offers 3D channels, but I can't see them on my TV. What's wrong?
A: First, be sure that you've connected the box to your TV via HDMI — it's the only type of cable that can carry 3D video signals.
Next, check that both your cable box and 3D TV are in 3D viewing mode. Most new cable boxes will already come with 3D enabled. If yours wasn't installed very recently, you may need to turn it on manually. Depending on your cable box, you may need to manually switch back to 2D mode for 2D viewing, though some newer models can handle this automatically.
Your 3D TV will likely come with the 3D mode turned on. As you can see in our question above, you may want to set it to "Auto" to allow both 2D and 3D viewing; this mode should also work with your cable box.
Finally, you may want to contact your cable provider and double-check that the 3D channels are part of your programming package. They may not necessarily be included with what you currently subscribe to. And if our troubleshooting tips haven't helped, hopefully they can get you up and running.

Sing to assist with native Hawaiian admissions on OʻahuUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Hilo
Director of Media Relations
Maile Kehaulani Sing is in the new position of admissions counselor for Native Hawaiians at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo, effective October 1, 2007. Her office is located in the Community Colleges Administration Building on Dole Street across from Hawaiʻi Public Television in Manoa.
"Maile will be based in Honolulu since over 65% of the State's population lives on Oʻahu," said Jim Cromwell, UH Hilo director of admissions. "She will be promoting higher education to native Hawaiians in the community as well as recruiting students from all high schools and community colleges on the island."
Sing comes to UH Hilo after serving over two years at San Jose State University where she most recently held the title of senior admissions counselor. Her duties included counseling and presentation sessions with high school and community college students, special event planning, workshops and other recruitment functions. Prior to San Jose State, Sing served for two years as an admissions representative for Palmer College of Chiropractic West in San Jose. She earned her bachelor's degree with honors from the University of California in 2000.
"Those who work in college admissions and outreach have a tremendous opportunity to be agents of social change," Sing said. "From my own experience, and from the experiences of those around me, higher education has always represented increased options for the future. As the Admissions Officer for Native Hawaiians, I envision having the opportunity to help effect positive change by connecting with native Hawaiian students and families, educating them about what UH Hilo has to offer, and encouraging them to move forward in the direction of their goals and dreams."


text: For Marylanders summer time is the season for steamed crabs! The Chesapeake Bay has been home to the blue crab for over a century. The blue crab became so prevalent in the Bay that this beloved crustacean evolved into the unofficial mascot. Unfortunately, Maryland's love for the blue crab has led to overfishing and habitat degradation – resulting in a drastic drop in crab population. The population level of blue crabs is at or near the lowest ever recorded. Today, only one out of a million nearly hatched crabs survives to maturity because of disease, predators, habitat loss, sudden cold temperatures, and over harvesting. This year Maryland legislators voted to end the crab harvesting season seven weeks early in an effort to give the blue crab a "breather" and boost the population. While legislators are working tirelessly to restore the state of the Bay and crab population, the National Aquarium in Baltimore is taking action through education and habitat restoration projects. The Aquarium sponsors a program called AquaPartners that educates students on how to preserve the bay and participants have the opportunity to catch, hold, and release a crab. The Aquarium also organizes volunteer conservation clean ups and educational events that teach the community how to restore the Chesapeake Bay and its many mascots. And many of the exhibits at the Aquarium highlight the environmental issues surrounding Maryland's coastal habitats. Be sure to visit aqua.org for more information on how you can contribute to the restoration of the blue crab. Do your part for them now, and they'll be around to enjoy for years to come!

Summary & Recommendations
Pesticide in Soap, Toothpaste and Breast Milk - Is It Kid-Safe?: The Specter of "Super Germs"
Scientists and doctors have raised many and frequent concerns about the potential development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria as a consequence of the overuse of triclosan (Levy 2001; Tan 2002; Aiello 2005). In a recent publication, the American Medical Association (AMA) notes that "[s]tudies also suggest that acquired resistance to the antimicrobial agents used in consumer products may predispose bacteria to resistance against therapeutic antibiotics, but further research is needed. Considering available data and the critical nature of the antibiotic-resistance problem, it is prudent to avoid the use of antimicrobial agents in consumer products" (Tan 2002).
Researchers have not yet proven conclusively that triclosan-resistant bacteria are developing in homes and hospitals, but this is an all too common phenomenon for pesticides and antibiotics in general. Whenever bacteria are deluged with a pesticide or drug, mutant bacteria resistant to the pesticide have a selective growth advantage. Those resistant bacteria then proliferate and can become the dominant form. In recent years we have witnessed entire lines of drugs or pesticides lose effectiveness, leaving everybody more vulnerable to infection.
The phenomenon of reduced susceptibility is already apparent in several cases involving triclosan in laboratory studies (McMurry 1998; Chuanchuen 2001). These studies' identification of the triclosan-resistant bacterial enzyme suggests that resistance to triclosan may develop more readily than to other antibacterial agents (Heath 2000). In addition, exposing specific bacterial strains to triclosan appears to result in selection favoring bacteria that are resistant to multiple antibiotics (Chuanchuen 2001). These findings have led AMA to suggest that antibacterial products not be used in homes for fear that they would perpetuate the resistant strains of bacteria (Tan 2002).
Some scientists also suggest widespread household use of triclosan may result in increased risk of allergy in children, an unintended consequence potentially caused by alterations to a developing body's natural microbial community following chronic exposure to the pesticide, and resulting in immune system abnormalities (Levy 2001). While some advocate that triclosan plays a valuable role in the care of vulnerable patients in the hospital setting, even medical uses of triclosan may be called into question. A recent investigation of sutures coated with the pesticide, marketed as a means of preventing infection, found more complications developed for wounds closed with the triclosan-treated materials than for those closed with ordinary sutures (Deliaert 2008).
In summary, the best available science, joined with everything we have learned about pesticides, points to a single conclusion: Unless the use of triclosan is absolutely warranted, as it may be in specific clinical settings, our best bet is not to use it. Indiscriminate addition of triclosan to home-use products is unnecessary, does not appear to provide any additional protection from infection, and may breed triclosan-resistant "super germs." Let's act with common sense and save this potent chemical for times when we really need it.

If you like your wallet, by all means, hold onto it. But if you'd like to travel lighter and worry about one less thing to remember, you can replace most of your wallet's functionality with your phone. Here's how to switch over everything except your cash, and maybe one card.
Image via visualpun.ch.
There are already great, convenient things your phone can do to stand in for your wallet, but the future looks even better. Near Field Communication technology (NFC), built into at least one Android phone and more to come, will eventually allow your phone to handle wallet replacement even better. In the meantime, you can consolidate your membership cards, hold sensitive scraps of paper, carry photos of your loves ones, and even make money change hands, all from your phone. Here's how to slim down or entirely cast off your back-pocket leather shackles.
Discount, Club and Membership Cards
Some stores make their membership cards mandatory, or make items nearly unaffordable if you aren't using their member cards. Rather than stuff them in your wallet or clutter your key chain, load them into an app that recreates them on your screen.
We like Key Ring for this job (available for Android, iOS and WP7). Scan in your cards' barcodes, or type in the barcode number if the card is too weathered. Key Ring lists and quick-sorts your cards, which show up in a big way on your screen. You can also see coupons and discounts found for the store you're pulling up from another tab.
You might be put off by the idea of showing your phone to a clerk, or scanning it yourself. Having tried it a few times, in both (relatively old-school) Buffalo, New York, and (definitely more wired) Austin, Texas, it's not as awkward as you might think — or at least just as awkward as fumbling in your wallet and trying to forcibly pry a card from a snug pocket. The key is having your rewards screen pulled up before you're at the front of a line, just as you should do with a physical card.
Install Key Ring [Android, iTunes, Windows Phone 7]
Your Sensitive Data
A wallet isn't all that bad a place to keep some sensitive data — just ask security expert Bruce Schneier. If you're stashing PINs or other means of getting at your sensitive stuff, consider switching over to using secure apps on your phone instead.
We're big fans of LastPass as an all-systems, all-browsers password solution. Less known about LastPass is its "Secure Notes feature," which stores and encrypts anything you can type behind the same barrier as your passwords. You can stash bank account information, health insurance PINs and other data in their numerous mobile apps. Most of those apps require a (relatively cheap) premium subscription, but non-premium members can simply browse to the LastPass mobile site to quickly pull up something they need.
If you're not keen on moving into LastPass' system, there are good stand-alone mobile solutions, too. Wallet for Android (original post) protects your passwords and other sensitive data with damn-strong AES-256 encryption, and won't give up any goods even if your phone is lost or stolen. Another app for iPhone also with the Wallet offers similar encrypted storage for credit card information, passwords and other data you'd potentially keep in your actual wallet. In fact, it seems like searching out "wallet" and "encryption" on most any semi-smart-phone's app market should turn up an app that can give you a place to stash your secrets, provided you verify the app maker's identity.
This one's pretty easy, but it's mostly on you. If your wallet always has a quick-access photo of your wife, children or favourite animal, your phone can have the same. On iPhones, you'll set that photo as your "lock screen", under the Wallpaper section of your Settings. If you've got more than one photo you like to show off, create an album or folder, then head into the Photos tab of your device while it's connected and synced to iTunes. Photo by Bryan Gosline.
Phones can't dispense physical cash, so you'll still need that, plus at least one credit card. But if you're cool with a binder clip or something simple for carrying cash, you can still use your phone to pay your friends, perhaps for dinner tabs or wagers about, say, living without a wallet.
The best, most universal solution is PayPal's mobile app (iPhone, Android, BlackBerry), which allows users to "bump" phones together to exchange funds. But even when bumping doesn't work - or doesn't quite feel right - sending money to a recipient is almost too easy, once you have their email address. Wing them some cash drawn from a bank account or credit card, and you're no longer in pizza debt.
iPhone users have QuickPic as a mobile scanning solution. Still many users, on nearly any mobile OS, can turn to the ubiquitous capture application Evernote, you can use to grab pics of your receipts and sync them to a folder on your desktop or Evernote's website. It can even use Onscreen Character Recognition (OCR) technology to make text within the receipt searchable. Handy.
Business Cards
If you happen to be talking to another likeminded, wallet-ditching smartphone user, and you both have Bump installed (Android/iPhone), you can trade contact details and other data by tapping phones. If not, consider the low-fi solution that worked for me, and people I met, during SXSW this past week: simply ask for an email and tap out a quick "Hey" message.
No two wallets are packed with the same needs. Tell us how you've made your phone into your wallet, or why you can't leave your wallet behind, in the comments.

Caring for elderly parents in your home can be a big change and a challenge. One way to help ease the transition is to make physical alterations — some minor, some potentially major — to your living environment in order to make things easier, safer, and less stressful for everyone.
Different people age differently, with different concerns and needs. The alterations you may want to make to your home will depend on things like the mobility, vision, and cognitive ability of your elderly parents. Other factors, such as your financial resources and your home's structure and layout, will also affect how much you can do.
First, get an accurate sense of your elderly parent's abilities and needs:
- Observe them around their home or yours. How steady are they when moving around? How comfortable are they navigating stairs and in the bathroom? Do they have trouble seeing and finding things? Are they able to easily do things you might take for granted, like opening doors, turning on faucets, and reaching shelves and cupboards?
- Talk to their physician or other caregivers. Learn more about their specific health issues such as mobility, vision, hearing, and cognition. (Note: You'll need to check with their health care providers to see what type of permission or documentation they will require in order for them to share your parent's private health information with you.)
- Take specific steps when dealing with dementia. If your parent suffers from some degree of dementia or cognitive impairment, you may need to take extra, more intensive steps to make your home safe and comforting for them. It could mean drastically altering access around your home to things like automobiles and appliances.
Next, see what changes may be needed in order to care for elderly parents in your home. It may be useful to hire an occupational therapist or other expert such as a nurse or physical therapist to assess your home. If that's not possible, consider asking another elderly person to take a look at your living area through their eyes.
Getting a third party's insight into needed changes can be more honest and useful than what you may or may not hear from your parent, who might be unaware of or embarrassed to admit their limitations, or afraid of being too much of a "burden" on you.
Some modifications to consider making:
Around the house:
- Find out which doorways and hallways in your home are wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs and/or walkers if necessary.
- Use strong, high-wattage bulbs and consider replacing older fluorescent lighting with incandescent lighting. (Fluorescent lights that flicker or create glare can be hard on aging eyes.)
- Replace round doorknobs with lever handles that are easier to open.
- Consider removing or covering up floor surfaces that could become slippery or cause tripping, including tile floors (especially in the kitchen and bathrooms), raised doorway thresholds, loose rugs, and carpet with a deep or uneven shag.
- Move power and extension cords well out of the way and tape them down to avoid tripping.
In the kitchen and laundry room:
- Make sure light switches, cabinets, drawers, and appliances are at a comfortable level for someone who is seated and/or cannot easily bend down or reach up.
- Put strip lighting under cabinets to provide more counter-top light.
- Get clocks, phones, thermostats, and appliances with larger, brighter buttons and numbers or digital displays.
- Lower your water heater temperature or install scald-proof faucets.
In the bathroom:
- Replace fixed showerheads with flexible, hand-held heads.
- Replace glass shower doors with curtains.
- Put shower seats in the bathtub or shower as well as non-slip mats or tape.
- Make sure there's a night-light in place and a well-lit path from your parent's bedroom.
- Install special rails or equipment in the bathroom, including raised toilet seats and bars and handles to aid with getting up and down.
In the bedroom:
- You may need to buy a new bed for your parent, rent or lease a hospital bed, or install bed rails and/or grab bars.
- Set up an intercom or communication system, perhaps using a baby monitor.
- Have working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors near the bedroom and a special firefighter alert sticker for the bedroom window.
- Make sure you can keep their sleeping area warm enough without using a space heater.
In stairways:
- Decide if you can you convert a ground floor room into your parent's bedroom, or if you may need to install an elevator or motorized stair lift chair to an upper floor.
- Check to see if you need new or additional handrails on stairs. If you already have handrails, make sure they're strong enough.
- Have two-way light switches at the top and bottom of stairways.
- Put down special bright-contrast tape at the edge of each step.
Outside the home:
- Fix uneven, cracked, or damaged outdoor walkways and consider replacing cobblestones or stepping-stones in the yard or garden.
- Install wheelchair ramps in the garage or driveway as necessary.
- Make sure entranceways, locks, and doorbells are well lit at night.
Go over your budget to see what modifications are financially realistic. Those checklists can be daunting, but chances are you won't have to do everything, and certainly not all at once. Not everyone can afford to completely remodel when caring for elderly parents in their home, but shop around and compare contractor and building costs as well as the cost of new or used equipment and its installation.
Research what Medicare will and will not cover, and then talk with your financial advisor to see if grants or loans are available for home adaptation. Also remember that having an extra person living in your home will affect your family's usual monthly budget when it comes to food, transportation, and supply costs.
Prepare for emotional challenges as well. No matter how many physical modifications you make, caring for elderly parents in your home can be an emotional strain on both you and them. You will both be sacrificing some of your independence and privacy. They may also be worried about being a burden, while you might fear you don't have the proper knowledge or experience to properly care for them. Be sure to communicate with each other as much as possible, and don't be afraid to ask outside experts for advice, support, or counseling.

Editor's note: NFL reporter Jeff Legwold analyzes the Broncos' 38-3 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday and looks ahead.
The most difficult thing about pro football, or at least the most difficult thing about being successful at pro football, is trying to find that area where maturity and perspective meet youth and the physical prime.
By the time a lot of players understand about preparation, taking care of themselves and the idea that better football brings more opportunities and not the other way around, they no longer have the physical skills to make it work.
The Broncos, a young, athletic team with some perspective-filled veterans sprinkled in, say they fully understand what's in front of them. The weeks to come will be the proof.
"If you don't finish it, then it means nothing almost," said defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson. "You can't let yourself relax. It's a big opportunity in a small window."
The Broncos said they understood in January 2006 too. They said they knew what kind of opportunity was at hand when home-field advantage for the AFC championship game was tossed into their laps when the Steelers upset Peyton Manning and the Colts.
But having been in the Denver locker room in the days after that gift, you could feel the collective exhale. You could feel the "we're in the Super Bowl" vibe, as if the work was already done.
Denver's 34-17 loss to the Steelers still represents the downfall of one of the grandest what-might-have-been teams the Broncos have fielded.
Their stars didn't come out to play in that one. Their plan didn't work.
Cornerback Champ Bailey always has said that what bothered him the most over the years since was the Broncos trailed 24-3 at halftime in a game the Steelers scored 24 points off turnovers.
"We didn't even show up," Bailey says about that game.
The Broncos have plenty of stories to tell this week. Bailey has been named to 12 Pro Bowls and has never played in the Super Bowl.
Veteran linebacker Keith Brooking played in the Super Bowl as a rookie but hasn't finished close to another trip before this season, his 15th in the NFL. Wide receiver Brandon Stokley won a Super Bowl title ring to close out the 2000 season, watched his team play another with a ruptured Achilles tendon and thought he was out of pro football for good this past summer until Manning called to throw him some passes.
Veteran safety Mike Adams is in his ninth NFL season and has never played in a postseason game.
History's record is clear. Now the Broncos will decide if all of that information means anything.
Key matchup
The Broncos (13-3) finished the regular season tied with the Rams for the league lead in sacks, so at least Manning doesn't have to face the league's top sack teams in the playoffs.
But the AFC playoff bracket includes the Bengals (No. 3 in sacks) and the Texans (tied for fifth). The Ravens and Patriots tied for 15th in the league in sacks. The Colts finished 23rd.
The Texans have the league leader in sacks — J.J. Watt (20½). The Bengals have two players in the top 10, defensive tackle Geno Atkins (12½) and defensive end Michael Johnson (11½).
The Broncos didn't surrender a sack for the second consecutive game when they held the Chiefs without one Sunday. Kansas City got a few hits on Manning, but by playing with at least two tight ends in their formation for more than half their snaps Sunday, the Broncos were able to keep the Chiefs' defensive front in check.
Playing at home will help the Broncos pick up the pace on offense in their no-huddle attack. But when opponents blitz, they are most likely to come in over the center and the two guard positions. So the Broncos have to keep Manning from taking too many game-changing hits.
Comparison shopping
Manning passed for more yards (4,659) this season than he did in any of the four seasons he won the league's MVP award. He threw for more touchdowns (37) and had a higher passer rating (105.8) than he did in three of his four MVP seasons.

Lucky 13?
Since 1978 – the first year of the 16-game schedule in the NFL – the Broncos have won at least 13 games in four seasons. They have advanced to the AFC championship game in two of those seasons and won the Super Bowl once:
Year Record Finish
2012 13-3 —
2005 13-3 Lost in AFC championship game
1998 14-2 Won Super Bowl XXXIII
1996 13-3 Lost in Divisional Round
1984 13-3 Lost in Divisional Round

Sealing lip materials
In addition to its design, the material of a sealing lip can have a significant impact on sealing performance and reliability. SKF, therefore, manufactures seals using a variety of sealing lip materials to meet the needs of different applications.
The sealing lips of SKF seals are generally made of elastomer materials. However, thermoplastics like polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) are gaining in importance. PTFE is mainly used for special seals intended for particular applications where improved thermal or chemical resistance is demanded.
A code is used to identify the sealing lip material of SKF seals (table). The code also appears in the designations of metric radial shaft seals. For seals manufactured from a combination of materials, a combination of code letters is used, like RD (nitrile rubber and SKF Duralip).

If you're going on holiday or away for the weekend, it's very easy to forget your pets in the hustle and bustle of planning the trip. Advance planning is key – animals used to regular care and attention should not suddenly be abandoned. Make sure your pets get the care they need while you're away.
Going on Holiday or Away for the Weekend?
Kennels and catteries
Reliable kennels and catteries ensure your cat or dog will be properly cared for. The DSPCA has a pet boarding centre if you need to find a boarding facility for your pet. Alternatively, your vet may be able to suggest a reputable place or look in the Golden Pages, and visit several so that you can check which will best suit the needs of your pet.
- Is your pet's inoculation form up to date? Remember to take it with you to the kennel or cattery.
- Does your chosen boarding kennel or cattery have an insurance scheme? If not, have you taken out a policy in case your animal needs emergency care?
- Have you given the boarding kennel or cattery your vet's name and telephone number and, if possible, a number where you can be contacted in case of emergency?
Relying on friends
The safest alternative is always to leave your pet in the expert care of a good boarding kennel. However, if friends offer to look after your pet while you are away, make sure it will be welcomed by every member of their household, including any other animals. Also, make sure your pet has an identification disc giving its temporary address.
If you are leaving your dog, make sure your friends will give it the exercise it needs.
Your cat may be happier if it is left at home, though not necessarily safer. Make sure a responsible friend will visit twice a day to feed and water it – ideally, have someone stay in your house while you are away.
Remember – your friend(s) must be responsible for all aspects of your pet's welfare.
Caged birds, rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs can be looked after by a reliable friend – remember to leave clear instructions on how to feed them.
- If your cat or dog is staying with friends, does it have an identification disc with its temporary address?
- Will cages of smaller animals be in the shade all day? Remember, they should never be left in direct sunlight.
- Have you given your friend clear instructions on how to feed and care for your pet?
- Have you left the name and number of your vet and, if possible, a number where you can be contacted in case of emergencies?
