It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
My wife and I are nice, polite folks. However, people walking the bike/walking trails like drunk lemurs with earbuds or texting finally jumped up and down on my last raw nerve yesterday.
How about the Hornit dB140? Or, does anyone have a favorite?
@gern @Florida_bound @YamiYuki - thanks for your input. I have watched YT videos of the Airzound and the LoudBicycle horns and both seem to do the job.
It might boil down to getting the Hornit and if it does not get folks attention, move on up and try a different horn.
I do like the Airzound but might need to get creative with the mounting. Same for the LoudBicycle horn.
@TCEd - I have given some thought to 'unexpected' results. There are some folks who do not like bikes (2 or 3 wheeled) for sure. I currently have the little bell that I ring and announce (politely) that I am "passing on the left' or 'passing on the right'. I have gotten dirty looks and even had one fellow cross over the path right in front of me and I had to 'hit the grass' to keep from running over him.
There will be at least one individual out there who will resort to some verbal or physical disrespect.
@gern - Thanks for the offer. I just came in from the garage and for the life of me I could not find a place for a bottle rack. A bottle rack with zip ties also would be a great mount.
@TCEd - Oh yeh - All of the paths/trails we ride are multi-use (no vehicles). One never knows what will be encountered.
@gern - I have a Rover Nuvinci. I have looked through Amazon and found 2 different types of universal mounts (think Velcro) and have added both to my shopping list.
I could also use the long zip ties and attach to the boom/frame.
A big issue for us is that our Rover is transported in the bed of our truck - a full sized Ford F150. However, there is a hard fiberglass tonneau cover over the truck bed. In order to load the Rover, I have to remove the rack and bag, lower the seat all the way and loosen the handle bars to fold them back onto the seat. Somewhat of a pain.
@lookinup @TCEd - I agree also. My wife and I always ring the bell on our trike and bike and announce that we are 'passing on left (or right)'. 9 times out of 10 everything goes well. Our frustration is with those folks with earbuds stuck in tight that have no clue what side of the path they are on. We never ride fast nor are we aggressive/angry.
Thanks for your input.

Poly-vinyl paper
Super, lightweight matt coated paper, with no glare.
Lightweight enough to use low-tack sticky tape and stick directly to a wall - meaning you don't need a backdrop stand!
If your item gets small creases from a session, simply warm the paper with a hair-dryer and the crease will drop out! (NB - please note we mean *small* creases - not after having been screwed up in the back of your car because it was raining when you packed up the car and just wanted to get home!)
You would be hard pushed to tear this paper - it's very strong, but lightweight.
We really love this paper as it is so lightweight and you can roll it up quite tight so it takes up less room in your studio.
Also wipeable for those really messy cake-smash sessions!
Glare free fabric canvas.
Still lightweight enough to use taped to a wall.
For best results, keep rolled up straight after use.
Some images are displayed in square format - depending on which size you purchase, some cropping may occur

FDA News Release
June 25, 2018
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Epidiolex (cannabidiol) [CBD] oral solution for the treatment of seizures associated with two rare and severe forms of epilepsy, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome, in patients two years of age and older. This is the first FDA-approved drug that contains a purified drug substance derived from marijuana. It is also the first FDA approval of a drug for the treatment of patients with Dravet syndrome.
CBD is a chemical component of the Cannabis sativa plant, more commonly known as marijuana. However, CBD does not cause intoxication or euphoria (the "high") that comes from tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
It is THC (and not CBD) that is the primary psychoactive component of marijuana.
"This approval serves as a reminder that advancing sound development programs that properly evaluate active ingredients contained in marijuana can lead to important medical therapies. And, the FDA is committed to this kind of careful scientific research and drug development," said FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, M.D. "Controlled clinical trials testing the safety and efficacy of a drug, along with careful review through the FDA's drug approval process, is the most appropriate way to bring marijuana-derived treatments to patients. Because of the adequate and well-controlled clinical studies that supported this approval, prescribers can have confidence in the drug's uniform strength and consistent delivery that support appropriate dosing needed for treating patients with these complex and serious epilepsy syndromes. We'll continue to support rigorous scientific research on the potential medical uses of marijuana-derived products and work with product developers who are interested in bringing patients safe and effective, high quality products. But, at the same time, we are prepared to take action when we see the illegal marketing of CBD-containing products with serious, unproven medical claims. Marketing unapproved products, with uncertain dosages and formulations can keep patients from accessing appropriate, recognized therapies to treat serious and even fatal diseases."
Dravet syndrome is a rare genetic condition that appears during the first year of life with frequent fever-related seizures (febrile seizures). Later, other types of seizures typically arise, including myoclonic seizures (involuntary muscle spasms). Additionally, status epilepticus, a potentially life-threatening state of continuous seizure activity requiring emergency medical care, may occur. Children with Dravet syndrome typically experience poor development of language and motor skills, hyperactivity and difficulty relating to others.
Lennox-Gastaut syndrome begins in childhood. It is characterized by multiple types of seizures. People with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome begin having frequent seizures in early childhood, usually between ages 3 and 5. More than three-quarters of affected individuals have tonic seizures, which cause the muscles to contract uncontrollably. Almost all children with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome develop learning problems and intellectual disability. Many also have delayed development of motor skills such as sitting and crawling. Most people with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome require help with usual activities of daily living.
"The difficult-to-control seizures that patients with Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome experience have a profound impact on these patients' quality of life," said Billy Dunn, M.D., director of the Division of Neurology Products in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. "In addition to another important treatment option for Lennox-Gastaut patients, this first-ever approval of a drug specifically for Dravet patients will provide a significant and needed improvement in the therapeutic approach to caring for people with this condition."
Epidiolex's effectiveness was studied in three randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials involving 516 patients with either Lennox-Gastaut syndrome or Dravet syndrome. Epidiolex, taken along with other medications, was shown to be effective in reducing the frequency of seizures when compared with placebo.
The most common side effects that occurred in Epidiolex-treated patients in the clinical trials were: sleepiness, sedation and lethargy; elevated liver enzymes; decreased appetite; diarrhea; rash; fatigue, malaise and weakness; insomnia, sleep disorder and poor quality sleep; and infections.
Epidiolex must be dispensed with a patient Medication Guide that describes important information about the drug's uses and risks. As is true for all drugs that treat epilepsy, the most serious risks include thoughts about suicide, attempts to commit suicide, feelings of agitation, new or worsening depression, aggression and panic attacks. Epidiolex also caused liver injury, generally mild, but raising the possibility of rare, but more severe injury. More severe liver injury can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fatigue, anorexia, jaundice and/or dark urine.
Under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), CBD is currently a Schedule I substance because it is a chemical component of the cannabis plant. In support of this application, the company conducted nonclinical and clinical studies to assess the abuse potential of CBD.
The FDA prepares and transmits, through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, a medical and scientific analysis of substances subject to scheduling, like CBD, and provides recommendations to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regarding controls under the CSA. DEA is required to make a scheduling determination.
The FDA granted
Priority Review
designation for this application.

The FDA, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, protects the public health by assuring the safety, effectiveness, and security of human and veterinary drugs, vaccines and other biological products for human use, and medical devices. The agency also is responsible for the safety and security of our nation's food supply, cosmetics, dietary supplements, products that give off electronic radiation, and for regulating tobacco products.

Geography is the study of the surface of the Earth as the site of human living and working. It considers the variability in physical and human landscapes, along with the interrelationships binding them together.
Our Honours programme is highly flexible and is a combination of core and optional courses. This allows you to tailor your option choices towards a wide range of potential careers.
Geography can be studied as one of three different degrees in Arts, Science or Social Sciences. The Geography component of each degree is identical; the difference is additional subjects that can be taken in years 1 and 2.
You will explore an equal balance of physical and human geography themes including a world of resources, an underdeveloped world, a world of changing environments, a shrinking world, and a changing biosphere in a changing environment.
You will explore human and physical processes, examining environmental problems and their possible resolutions through policy, and you will be trained in statistical methods and laboratory analysis using a mixture of fieldwork and our own IT and physical geography laboratories.
You will also study other subjects in years 1 and 2 : see Flexible degrees .
If you progress to Honours (years 3 and 4)you will study both core and optional courses. Core courses are related to advanced training methods such as computerised data analysis, modelling, geographical information systems, interviewing and interpretative methods.A wide range of optional courses complement the core courses and allow you to build a programme around your particular interests. Some Earth Science optional courses may also be available to Geography students.
Programme alteration or discontinuation The University of Glasgow endeavours to run all programmes as advertised. In exceptional circumstances, however, the University may withdraw or alter a programme. For more information, please see: Legal statements: Disclaimer .
If you intend to continue to Honours, you will attend a week-long residential field course in year 2 to extend the field, laboratory and statistical skills introduced earlier by focusing on group projects, data collection, problem solving, and presentations. This training is developed in year 3 in a week-long overseas field class focusing on dissertation-related project work.
You will have the opportunity to applyto study abroad. There are currently two options available: the Erasmus+ Programme and the International Exchange Programme.

The S5 Standard Academic Entry Requirements represent the grades which, if attained in addition to successfully meeting mandatory subject requirements and any non-academic entry requirements (interviews, auditions, aptitude tests), will normally result in an offer being made. Students must achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of S5 (cumulative S4 and S5).
The S5 Minimum Academic Entry Requirements represent the minimum grades which an applicant must have obtained by the end of S5 (cumulative S4 and S5) in order for them to be considered for a conditional offer based on S6 results. Not all applicants who achieve the Minimum Academic Entry Requirements will be made an offer. This will depend on the number of applications we have received for a degree programme and the number of applicants who have met the Standard Academic Entry Requirements.
Where an applicant is made a conditional offer based on S6 results, the S6 Standard Academic Entry Requirements represent the cumulative grades that must be attained by the end of S6, in addition to meeting any mandatory subject and non-academic requirements. All degree programmes allow applicants to "double count" Highers and Advanced Highers in the same subject when calculating cumulative grades. A Grade B in an Advanced Higher will be regarded as another Grade A at Higher Level and a Grade C at Advanced Higher will be regarded as another Grade B at Higher Level. All degree programmes require grades in a minimum of four different subjects.
Advanced Highers are a qualification of increased importance to the University, which recognises that applicants with these qualifications find the transition to university easier and perform better in their university exams. Many of our degrees specify Advanced Highers as part of the S6 Entry Requirements.
If a school is unable to offer specific Advanced Higher subjects applicants will be made bespoke offers which will normally require the applicant to attain additional relevant Highers in S6.
We adjust the Standard Academic Entry Requirements for eligible applicants who complete one of our widening participation pre-entry programmes . Criteria for eligibility include attending a Scottish target secondary school, living in a priority Scottish postcode area, current or previous experience of living in care or estrangement from family support.
For more information about your eligibility and our pre-entry programmes see:

The Standard Academic Entry Requirements represent the grades at which any possible offer would be made. Students must also meet mandatory subject requirements and any non-academic entry requirements (interviews, auditions, aptitude tests).
The Minimum Academic Entry Requirements represent the minimum grades that the University will accept for entry to the degree programme. Students must also meet mandatory subject requirements and any non-academic entry requirements (interviews, auditions, aptitude tests).
Northwestern knows what it is getting at quarterback. Kind of. Thorson's production leveled off between his sophomore and junior seasons. The Wildcats can expect Thorson to look like a fringe all-Big Ten performer most of the time, with outstanding performances (Michigan State) interspersed with poor ones (Duke). The problem, obviously, is Thorson's health. With the graduation of
Matt Alviti
, Northwestern lacks experienced depth should Thorson miss time due to the ACL injury he suffered in the Music City Bowl. If
, Smith, or Marty are forced into extended duty, it could be a long season while
Angara Solitaire Cushion Tanzanite Criss Cross Ring in 14K Yellow Gold r3pzpRW
awaits eligibility in 2019.
Clayton Thorson
I'm a little more bearish on Thorson's chances to get his game to the next level given his statistical plateau (or regression) in 2017 and some of the structural limitations of the Northwestern offense.
Still, in a league where solid quarterback play is far from a given, Thorson has invaluable experience, can make all the throws, and uses his mobility to his advantage. Thorson earned Third Team All-Big Ten honors for his 2017 season, where he finished fourth in the Big Ten in passing yards and fifth in completion percentage. His quarterback rating of 121.3 (10th in the conference) was a result of a shoddy 15:12 touchdown-to-interception ratio.
As I mentioned this weekend, I don't see Thorson suddenly becoming the best quarterback in the conference, not without serious improvements in pass protection (among B1G QBs, only
Kendra Scott Bette Statement Necklace y0DOHyyyo
was sacked more often) and somewhat of a breakout from a pass-catcher or two.
He doesn't need to be the best quarterback in the league, however. Thorson has 39 starts under his belt, while at least half the conference is breaking in new signal-callers. If Thorson can replicate 2016 and 2017, Northwestern will be fine. That's a big if.
Can Clayton Thorson play against Purdue? Will he be at 100 percent?
Seriously. It feels like this is the only question of importance this offseason, and its the question that will likely define the range of possibilities for Northwestern's season. If Thorson is ready to go week one, bowl eligibility for a fourth straight year seems like a strong possibility. If the senior misses the first game or two, Northwestern could find itself in a 1-4 hole.
Teddy Greenstein at the Tribune filed a positive dispatch about Thorson's progress on Monday. He said running and cutting feel good, and brought up the point that his injury isn't as consequential for a quarterback as it might be for a receiver. I don't have any inside information, but if I had to wager, I would bet on Thorson being ready to go for week one. I'd also guess Mick McCall will try to keep Thorson in the pocket early in the season, making the short and intermediate throws he's so good at.

Sunday, January 10, 2010 Israel Today Staff
US President Barack Obama's special Middle East envoy, George Mitchell, threatened late last week to withhold financial aid to Israel if the Jewish state does not accept demanded concessions to get the stalled peace process back on track.
In an interview with Charlie Rose just prior to his departure for Israel, Mitchell was asked what leverage the US has to get Israel to comply with Arab and international demands. He responded:
"Under American law, the United States can withhold support on loan guarantees to Israel."
A senior US official speaking on condition of anonymity to Israel's Ynet news portal at the weekend insisted that Mitchell's remarks were not meant as a threat.
But Israel wasn't buying it, and Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz shot back by telling the Obama Administration to keep its money.
Steinitz noted that Israel had no intention of making use of the loan guarantees in the near future, as it had managed to raise enough funds on its own.
Mitchell's remarks came shortly after Israeli Ambassador to the US Michael Oren rejected Washington's attempt to place a firm two-year deadline on the peace process.
"In the past, attempts to impose time frameworks have not proved either realizable or helpful," Oren told The Jerusalem Post. Previous deadlines have only increased the Palestinians' refusal to meet their peace obligations, confident that Israel would be forced to comply regardless in order to meet the timetable.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged the US to realize that his government has been making gestures to get the Palestinians back to the negotiating table for months, and that the problem is the Palestinian Authority.
"It is the Palestinian Authority that needs to change its ways - certainly not the Israeli government," read a statement issued by Netanyahu's office.
Just a month ago, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was praising Israel's decision to lift roadblocks and implements a partial settlement freeze as unilateral gestures to the Palestinians. However, in Washington, Israeli gestures are short-lived when met with further Palestinian intransigence.

(StatePoint) Each summer, parents look for ways to combat "summer brain drain," which occurs when children lose some of the knowledge they gained during the school year because they're not regularly exercising their brains. According to research from the Center for Summer Learning at Johns Hopkins University, students typically lose one to two months of reading and math skills during summer break.
"Children's brains develop at a remarkable pace, and don't take a break from learning just because school is out," says neuroscientist Dr. Lise Eliot, an early childhood development expert and author. "Parents should offer children fun experiences that encourage learning and exploration, allowing them to absorb new skills and expand their knowledge."
To help parents avoid summer setbacks, VTech, a world leader in age-appropriate and developmental stage-based electronic learning products for children, is offering fun suggestions for summer learning:
• Look for teachable moments: Our daily lives are filled with opportunities to teach children. Following a recipe? Let your child read and measure the ingredients. Balancing your checkbook? Put your child's math skills to use. Going on a road trip? Let your child look for specific signs along the way and follow along on a map.
• Use learning toys: Learning toys are a great way to help children stay mentally sharp out of the classroom, while also having fun. On the go? Instead of waiting for kids to ask "Are we there yet?", look for an educational, developmental toy like InnoTab 2S Wi-Fi Learning App Tablet by VTech, which combines a camera, interactive e-books, creative activities, tilt sensor learning games, and a rich collection of applications.
While in the car or during downtime, children can use their tablet to play games, create art, take notes, or use the onboard calendar. Parents can track their child's progress on learning milestones and lessons and download high-quality, educational content wirelessly at the online Learning Lodge.
• Read: The benefits of reading to children are enormous, including helping language and speech development, expanding vocabulary and building a lifelong love of reading. Children who read more also perform better academically, so visit the library often and let children choose books that interest them, or consider downloading an e-book on InnoTab 2S.
• Plan educational outings: You don't have to plan an extravagant vacation to teach children about science and culture. Visit museums, historical sites, the zoo or aquarium. Take advantage of free summer concerts to expose children to new styles of music and dance.
• Encourage savings: Saving money is a great way to put math skills to use. Let your children count coins in their piggy banks. Show them how much they'll need for something they're saving for, and teach them to create a budget to reach their goals. Clip coupons together, putting the money saved into their piggy banks. Play "store" with your child to practice math.
More great parenting tips can be found at www.VTechKids.com/parenting.
This summer, give kids the tools they'll need to retain their knowledge for the next school year.

I'm getting a chance to play with the 64-bit Cinnamon version of this distribution, and so far I really like it! Coming from an Xubuntu background, I prefer "traditional desktops" over the tablet-like interface that most UIs are heading toward these days, and Cinnamon is a real treat. Clem and the others did an amazing job on it so far, and I'm looking forward to its continued development.

Dec. 30, 2012
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – Alexa Deluzio continued to be a thorn in Boston College's side Sunday, guiding No. 21 Florida State to its fourth straight victory, 76-70, in each team's Atlantic Coast Conference opener.
Deluzio, who scored a career-high 28 points at BC (6-5) in a 68-59 win last year, tallied 25 points and 12 rebounds Sunday. Natasha Howard also had a double-double for the Seminoles (11-1) with 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Florida State entered leading the ACC in field goal percentage at 49.5 percent, and made 50 percent (31 of 62) Sunday, though they made 1 of 6 from 3-point range.
The Eagles trailed 37-30 at halftime but held close in the second. BC's Katie Zenevitch made a layup to cut Florida State's lead to 72-70 with 1:52 left, but Morgan Toles hit a jumper and Deluzio and two free throws for the Seminoles while the Eagles missed their last three shots.

Wiping varnish is simply any brand of oil-based alkyd (regular) varnish or oil-based polyurethane varnish in any sheen (gloss or satin) thinned about half with mineral spirits (paint thinner).
Rules for Application
■ Wipe or brush on the wood and
■ Wipe off all the excess; or
■ Brush off some or most of the excess using a "dry" brush; or
■ Leave all the excess (only on flat, horizontal surfaces).
■ Allow to dry overnight or at least 6 hours in a warm room, garage or shop.
■ Sand each dried coat lightly with #320- or #400-grit sandpaper to remove dust nibs before applying the next coat.
■ Three or four coats are usually minimum for good results.
When to Use
On any object – furniture, trim, cabinets – or even floors when you want a protective and durable finish that is easy to apply and produces almost perfect results.
Can be used over any stain or finish, as long as it is dry, clean and dull. Also, any finish can be applied over wiping varnish as long as it is dry, clean and dull. If you spray lacquer, however, spray light coats because the lacquer thinner could cause the varnish to blister.
■ Very easy to apply.
■ Very protective and durable after several coats.
■ Easy to get an almost flawless result.
■ Adds warmth to dark and dark-stained woods.
■ Takes many more coats to achieve the same thickness and protection as fewer coats of brushed-on alkyd or polyurethane varnish.
■ Adds a noticeable yellow/orange coloring to light-colored woods.
■ Can result in streaking when using a satin wiping varnish.
Common Application Problems
■ Dust nibs, especially if the finish room is dusty.
■ Runs on vertical surfaces if most of the excess isn't wiped or brushed off.
Make your Own
■ One part gloss, oil-based polyurethane varnish; one part mineral spirits (paint thinner).
■ Higher percentage of polyurethane varnish to achieve a faster build.
■ Higher percentage of mineral spirits to achieve a longer working time and better leveling.
■ Substitute any other oil-based varnish.
Bob Flexner is the author of "Wood Finishing 101,"
from which this sidebar is excerpted.

Did you know eating fast food just twice a week can cause you to gain 10 pounds and double your risk for insulin resistance — which can lead to diabetes, obesity, and a host of other health issues? No? Well, if that's not enough to scare you, maybe knowing that a 1999 McDonald's burger is still looking fresh or that Burger King burgers were once contaminated with horsemeat will. (Ew. Just ew.)
Needless-to-say, I don't think anyone would be shocked to learn that fast food isn't the healthiest dining option out there, but it may not be for the reasons you think. The fried foods and the empty-calorie sodas aren't the only thing that make fast food bad for you. It's not such a bad thing to have something battered and fried, or high in fat or calories, as long as it's mixed with a balanced diet and active lifestyle. But what about all the other things that make fast food not so much a food, but more of a science experiment? Often referred to as "Franken-food," fast food is typically composed of a variety of absolutely terrifying ingredients you would never consider putting in your body if they weren't disguised so beautifully as a delicious burger or French fry, and presented in fun, colorful packaging and buried in catchy marketing messages.
Take for example McDonald's menu description: "Our tender, juicy, Chicken McNuggets are made with USDA-inspected white meat. They're tempura battered and cooked to golden perfection." Doesn't sound half-bad, right? Until you look past that flaky exterior and further into the ingredient list. According to Dr. Mercola, "Only 50 percent of a McNugget is actually chicken. The other half includes corn derivatives, sugars, leavening agents, and completely synthetic ingredients." And, as if that's not bad enough, a recent Annals of Diagnostic Pathology study revealed that the percentage of meat in fast food hamburgers may be as little as 2% — as in only 2% of your meat is actually meat. (The median was 12% meat.) Yikes.
After looking into this I'm slightly regretting all the fast food I ate on my road trip this past weekend. Although the occasional fast food isn't really a big deal, I'll be keeping these ingredients in mind next time I decide to roll through the drive through. It's definitely making me appreciate the simplicity of the "rule" to try to eat foods with five ingredients or less, that way there's less likelihood of crazy things like the following making the list.
So what scary things are making up that other 50 to 98% that's not meat?
1. Caramel Coloring
What it is: Caramel coloring is not at all what you might think of when you hear the word "caramel." Instead of being melted sugar like traditional caramel, caramel coloring is synthetically made by reacting sugars with ammonia and sulfites. This process results in the chemicals 2-methylimidazole and 4 methylimidazole, which have been linked to thyroid, liver, and lung cancer, as well as leukemia. While there are four types of caramel coloring, the two made with ammonia, Class III and IV, are the harmful ones. Unfortunately, these are not typically distinguished on the food label. Caramel coloring is on the Centers for Science and Public Interest's (CSPI) list of additives to avoid, stating there is "clear evidence" it is an animal carcinogen.
Alternative uses: Pet food
Some offenders: Taco Bell meat filling, Wendy's Sweet and Sour Sauce, Chick-fil-A's Icedream, sodas
2. Yellow #5 and #6
What it is: Yellow dye #5 (tartrazine) and #6 (sunset yellow) are artificial dyes used to color food and drinks. Although approved for use by the FDA, they've been associated with hyperactivity and behavior problems in kids. They've also been linked with cancer. Many companies in the UK have voluntarily removed these dyes from food. The UK also requires warning labels on foods containing yellow #5 or yellow #6. These artificial colors are both on the Centers for Science and Public Interest's (CSPI) list of additives to avoid.
Other dyes to look out for are Red #2, Red #3, Red #40, Green#3, #Blue #1, and Blue #2. (Red #40, Yellow #5, and Yellow #6 account for 90% of all food dyes.)
Alternative uses: Soap, nail polish, temporary tattoos.
Some offenders: Burger King Cinnamon Rolls, Wendy's Honey Mustard Sauce, Dunkin Donuts Apple Cheese Danish and Boston Kreme Donut, Chick-fil-A Spicy Chicken Sandwich
3. Sodium Nitrate
What it is: Sodium nitrite is a preservative and flavoring used in cured meats like bacon, ham, and hot dogs. It's been associated with colorectal cancer and poor oxygen transport in babies. A 2011 study showed that people who eat a lot of processed meat have a higher likelihood of heart disease. Sodium nitrite is on the Centers for Science and Public Interest's (CSPI) list of additives to avoid.
Alternative uses: Pharmaceuticals, dyes, pesticides
Some offenders: McDonald's Egg McMuffin, Wendy's Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, Dunkin Donuts Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Bagel
What it is: MSG, or monosodium glutamate, is used as a flavor enhancer and seasoning, can cause headaches, nausea, weakness, and chest pain in those that are sensitive to it, according to the Mayo Clinic. It's included on the CSPI list of additives some people should avoid, although it can be tough to do so because of the many names you can find MSG disguised under, such as autolyzed yeast, yeast extract, or many names containing "hydrolyzed."
Alternative uses: Fertilizer
Some offenders: Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich, KFC Chicken Strips
5. Feathers & Hair
What it is: Seen as L-cysteine on the label, this amino acid is made of duck feathers and/or human hair. It's used as a dough conditioner for baked goods to improve their texture. It's not harmful, just potentially gross.
Alternative uses: Pharmeceuticals, hair perm solutions, cigarettes
Some offenders: McDonald's Apple Pie, KFC Chunky Chicken Pot Pie
6. Sand
What it is: Sand, or silicon dioxide or silica, is often used as an anti-caking agent in meat-based products like chili and processed beef.
Alternative use: Ceramics, glass, cement, optical fibers, packets to prevent mildew
Some offenders: Wendy's chili, Taco Bell's Chili and Black Beans, Chick-fil-A Chicken Strips
7. Wood Pulp
What it is: Wood pulp, alternatively (and quite preferably) called cellulose, is used to thicken and stabilize foods. It also helps make up for lost fat and increases fiber content. It's typically used as a cheaper alternative to oil and flour. This lovely form of sawdust can also make ice cream creamier. Cellulose can also be listed on the label as microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), carboxymethyl cellulose, or cellulose gum.
Alternative use: Paper
Some offenders: McDonald's BBQ Snack Wrap and Oreo McFlurry, Taco Bell Nacho Chips, Wendy's Frosty and Asiago Ranch Chicken Club, KFC Popcorn Chicken
8. Dimetylpolysiloxane
What it is: Dimetylpolysiloxane is a type of silicone used in deep fryers to keep the oil from foaming, which helps the oil last longer. Mmm appetizing. It's also used as an anti-caking agent and an emulsifier.
Alternative use: Silly Putty, breast implants, makeup, industrial oils
Some offenders: McDonald's French Fries and Filet-o-Fish Sandwich, Wendy's French Fries and Chicken Nuggets, Taco Bell Apple Empanada
What it is: TBHQ, or tertiary butylhydroquinone is a chemical derived from petroleum — yes, the stuff you put in your car — typically listed as an antioxidant on ingredient lists. Antioxidants are typically something we want in our food, but not in this case. TGHQ is used to prevent fats and oils from oxidizing, thus increasing their shelf life, not improving our health. TBHQ can cause nausea, vomiting, deliriousness, and tinnitus. It is on the Centers for Science and Public Interest's (CSPI) list of additives to avoid. Kids often tend to be more sensitive to these types of additives.
Other "antioxidants" like THBQ include BHA and BHT.
Alternative use: Lacquer, varnish, pesticides, makeup, butane in lighters
Some offenders: McDonald's Apple & Walnut Salad, Taco Bell Beans, Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich
10. Mechanically Separated Meat
What it is: Mechanically separated meat (MSM) may be the least appealing thing to me on this list. No kind of meat should need an abbreviation or an explanation. MSM, commonly referred to as "pink slime," is pureed meat, bones, and edible tissue, which is then treated with ammonium hydroxide to decrease bacteria. Mmm. Because there's no flavor or color left at this point, the meat paste is then pumped full of artificial flavors and colors. Still hungry?
Alternative use: Ammonia is used in household cleaners and fertilizers
Some offenders: Unclear, but in 2012 McDonald's, Wendy's, and Taco Bell said they would stop using it.

Ruth Franklin: Some Works Of Art Can't Be Labeled As Fact Or Fiction, And That's OK | The New Republic:
But here's where it gets tricky. Because Daisey, for the most part, isn't actually a fabricator—one who makes up stories out of whole cloth. (Is that why they're called fabricators?) His monologue describes a trip that he actually made to Shenzhen, the Chinese city where Foxconn and other Apple suppliers are headquartered. He did personally interview workers there, as well as gain access to the factories by pretending to be a visiting businessman. In some cases, he claims that he essentially made composites by rearranging the chronology of his trip or otherwise changing the details of characters. In others, he seems to have relied on other people's reporting and presented it as his own. But very little—and this is important—seems actually to be untrue. Does it matter that the workers' dormitories have cameras in the hallways, as Daisey correctly reports, but not in the workers' bedrooms, as he also claims? Or that he visited only three factories rather than the ten he claimed to have seen? No one disputes that he got the basics of the story right: Foxconn's deplorable treatment of its employees.
Ira Glass knows all this, which is why his "Gotcha!" attitude seems a little off. It's clear that he feels personally aggrieved by Daisey: Not only did he suffer an embarrassment to the journalistic standards of his radio program, but he himself was taken in by Daisey's stage show. "I thought it was literally true, seeing it in the theater," he harangues Daisey. "I thought it was true because you were onstage saying 'These things happened to me.'" But what Glass ignores—and Daisey is right to protest about this—is that the theater, like the novel, operates by different rules than journalism does. Glass seems to have forgotten that the character onstage called "Mike Daisey" isn't Daisey, exactly; it's his dramatic persona. For the most part, we don't take it literally when a poet speaks in the first person; we know that there is a gap between the speaker of the poem and the poet as an individual. The rules are similar for a dramatic monologuist like Daisey, and Glass is being more than a little naïve in his insistence on melding Daisey's art to Daisey's life.
Glass concludes that "honest labeling" is what's called for, insisting that Daisey's monologue ought to have been marked as a work of fiction. But it's hard to say how Daisey might have labeled his work more honestly: It was performed in a theater, after all, not recorded and presented as a documentary film or a news report. And Daisey is right to insist that "fiction" is no more accurate a label for his work than "journalism"; like John D'Agata's essays, it contains something of each. "I'm tired of this genre being terrorized by an unsophisticated reading public that's afraid of venturing into terrain that can't be footnoted and verified by seventeen different sources," D'Agata complains, and though he doesn't specify what "this genre" is, it's clear that he aims for a more capacious definition of non-fiction than the fact-checker's.

Five years after opening the doors of The Brick Hotel & Restaurant on Georgetown's The Circle, owners Lynn and Ed Lester are waking up from a financial nightmare.
Five years after opening the doors of The Brick Hotel & Restaurant on Georgetown's The Circle, owners Lynn and Ed Lester are waking up from a financial nightmare.
"I was never happier to see a year end than in 2013 or more thrilled about a fresh start in 2014," said Lynn Lester. "Both our regular customers and those folks looking to plan events can be confident that The Brick isn't going anywhere."
According to court documents, M&T Bank filed three lawsuits against the Lesters in April 2012 for defaulting on about $3.4 million in loans, which were secured by the entrepreneurial couple in 2008 and 2009. The Lesters have spent the last two years negotiating an out-of-court settlement with M&T Bank.
Now, Lynn Lester says she and her husband have very minimal relations with M&T Bank and have established a new relationship with WSFS Bank.
"We have reached an agreement with our former lender," she said. "We have a new lender and now have very manageable debt."
Megen Morris, a spokeswoman for M&T Bank, said she can't comment on the institution's relationship with any specific customers.
"There are federal privacy laws in place to protect our customers," Morris said. "We are happy The Brick Hotel will continue to be a part of the Georgetown community."
A rough start
Lester said financial difficulties started almost immediately when she reopened The Brick in November 2008. The recession had only started roughly a year earlier and the tenant renting and operating the restaurant portion of the building had to be evicted for falling delinquent on their bills.
"Within the first year, we had to take over the restaurant and I lost that revenue stream that I was counting on, which was pretty significant," Lester said. "We could have shut the restaurant's doors; but we didn't want to because it had already established a very nice reputation."
Lester said she contacted M&T Bank, formerly Wilmington Trust, roughly a year and a half after obtaining the loans because, "I knew we were going to have difficulty meeting our mortgage obligations."
When The Brick's misfortune and legal issues became public knowledge via the local media, Lester said event bookings and gift card sales took a major hit.
"We knew we were going to work it out; but that doesn't give much assurance to someone planning ahead for a wedding," she said. "And why would someone buy a gift card for a place they thought may not stay open?"
After the lawsuits were filed by M&T Bank, the Lesters began discussing settlement options; but bank officials were not biting, saying the offers were too low.
"At one meeting, I put my keys on the desk and said, 'Here. You've got yourself a hotel and restaurant,'" Lynn Lester said. "That's when I think they started cooperating with us. When I offered them the keys, I did it hoping I would get the outcome that I got. The bank doesn't want an empty building sitting here."
The two parties reached an agreement, and the Lesters received a new, more manageable loan from WSFS Bank to cover the difference between what M&T Bank wanted and what the Lesters could afford.
Lester said she never truly considered throwing in the towel.
"My heart and soul is in this property and in this project," she said. "I remained very committed to The Brick because over the years, revenues for the inn and the restaurant have continued to increase, even during the difficult times we've had, which indicates to me that there's a future for this business."
The future
Lester said a weight has definitely been lifted. Also, revenue from event bookings and gift card sales throughout this year's holiday season was up significantly.
"My original goal was at the end of five years, we would be at a place where I could afford to hire someone to run The Brick and Ed and I could go to the islands and enjoy retirement," she said. "But we hit five years in November and I'm guessing we've got another three years. That's my goal."
Community support
Lester said she saw an outpouring of support from the community, with many writing unsolicited letters to M&T Bank expressing concerns surrounding the possible closure of The Brick.
Scott Thomas, executive director of Southern Delaware Tourism, said he sent a letter stating The Brick serves as a tourism anchor for Georgetown.
"It generates local tourism when you have a lodging business like The Brick with personal service, a restaurant and a tavern," Thomas said. "With more visitors comes more dollars for Georgetown."
Sussex County Administrator Todd Lawson said he also sent a letter of support.
"The Brick is literally one of the cornerstones of The Circle and the Lester Family has made the hotel and restaurant a magnificent gem for our community to enjoy," Lawson said. "We are fortunate to have a facility like this in Georgetown and I couldn't be happier to see their success."
Karen Duffield, executive director of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce, said in just over five years, the Lesters have elevated Georgetown to a premier destination for luxury accomodations and fine family dining with their renovation and management of The Brick.
"The Brick Hotel is a historic landmark in Georgetown and its renovation into a four-star restaurant and accommodation truly shines a spotlight on the county seat," Duffield said.
The Brick Hotel is a National Historic Registry property. It was built in 1836 and has served as a hotel, bank, courthouse, law office, coffee shop and more.


text: Staten Island, NY – Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, today urged graduating students to remember those who, because of abortion, are not participating in ceremonies with them."This graduation season, Notre Dame University has chosen to honor a man who couldn't care less about protecting the unborn," said Fr. Pavone. "I urge young men and women receiving their degrees this year to take a different path and honor those who, but for abortion, would have been with them at graduation."Past graduating classes have remembered the aborted in yearbooks and at commencement exercises through speeches, prayers, or just by leaving an empty chair draped with a cap and gown."Over 1 million students again will be missing from ceremonies," added Fr. Pavone. "Let's acknowledge those who could not celebrate with us, and let's work to let others live."Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia.

BOLIVIA—County commissioners are a week away from hearing the results of a salary study that's been in the works for the past six months.
But at Monday's county meeting, they decided one position couldn't wait another day.
County manager Marty Lawing reported that due to recent economic conditions, the code enforcement office staff has dwindled from a one-time high of three officers, one administrator and an assistant to only one officer and an administrator.

Does this have GPS? I bought the Asus Transformer Infinity a couple months ago on Woot, and i love it so far...best tablet i ever owned. Not sure how this stacks up
I apologize if this question was previously asked but what exactly does the refurb offer? Scratches are my biggest pet peeve but I can live with a few. Also, I would like to know if its been given a new battery or one that's already been cycled like 400 times. Thanks
dmpower wrote:Ipad does not have expandable memory, or an s pen.
LOL because those are positive attributes!
I had a Windows Tablet PC about 10 years ago that looked and functioned about as well as this POS.
While Samsung was busy trying to rip off Apple they should ripped off some quality while they were at it.
love, love, LOVE this tablet. At this price, it's almost worth buying another one just to have as a backup
wootbert wrote:Flash Suport Phased out by Google!
One thing to be aware of is the following:
One of the big selling points of Android devices was their Adobe Flash compatibility. Now that flash is being phased out of convention, you won't be able to download flash from the Play Market.
That said, this was the whole reasoning in getting this tablet, to use it with facebook and some of their flash games.
Looks like this all has come to an end. Instead of making the girlfriend happy, she is now on my back why Facebook games don't work anymore.
Google, that is just Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk!!
But you can still get flash from Adobe's archive.

My refurb from the last sale had no scratches. It looked brand new. It even had the annoying sticky plastic lining on it to cover up the body.
Haunt you amazon!!!
$280 @ microcenter...
Here's a few tidbits that might help. I have one of these that I bought new.
The S-Pen uses a Wacom digitizer and pen, so if you have other Wacom hardware you will most likely be able to use those pens with this tablet. I have an HP TC1100 from 2004- the stylus from that works with this and has eraser functionality.
Yes this thing has a stand-alone GPS that works pretty well.
For those worried about scratches- the screen has Gorilla glass which is extremely scratch resistant.
The power connector looks like an apple 30 pin but is not. It is a samsung connector that is compatible with the Galaxy tab 10. There are many accessories that can be hooked up to it since it supports USB OTG. I have one that combines a usb host, sd card reader, and micro-sd reader as well as allows the tablet to be charged from a micro-usb cable vs the proprietary cable.
The chargers that come with Samsung tablets do something weird to the usb pins that indicate to the device that it is a samsung charger and therefor safe to consume more wattage. Charging from anything other than an approved charger will have the battery icon display a red X and it will only charge at 500mA (painfully slow).
There is an adapter sold on amazon here that will perform the usb trickery for you allowing you to charge from any usb source at the full rating. For example- a universal 1A charger will charge at the full 1A instead of being limited to .5A by the tablet. It will also allow you to use universal 2A chargers which should charge in about the same time as the stock brick.
The XDA forums are essentially the be-all/end-all source of custom development for the Android OS. Here's the forum for the Note 10.1".
The Galaxy Note series of devices is really excellent, for what the opinion of a random message board post is worth. I've owned both the Note I and II phones and used this tablet for work for a week, and they're just obscenely fast for their time. The tablet is an excellent media streamer -- up and downstream -- if you're into vloging and Skype. The quad-core processor gives you all the multithreaded goodness you could ever ask for. Before I turned it back in to the office, I remember one moment of running tTorrent Pro with three very active mp3 torrents from the Humble Indie Bundle, grabbing a new ROM through GooManager, holding a couple conversations on the imo multiple chat clients app, playing Waking Mars in the foreground, and running a handful of background system-like apps like Kernel Tuner, VolumePlus, Android Firewall, etc. I was trying to bog the thing down (Smite haet efficiency!) and I was playing the game with nary a stutter. It was kind of impressive. (Smite loev run-on sentences!)
I honestly don't remember what the benchmarks were. Scratch that -- I remember exactly what they were: a bunch of numbers that have no relevance to anything without context. I'm sure you can find some on the above-linked XDA forums if you care. You'll also find custom kernels, current radio drivers, etc and be able to (safely) overclock the processor to a respectable 1800 MHz with better voltage and processor usage control. IIRC, there's also a mod that'll allow Fastcharge through non-Samsung plugs for what that's worth.
The Galaxy Note tablet is a healthy challenger to the iPad 2 out of the box, and if you feel like digging your grubby little mitts into its ribcage, it'll go further than the late Mr. Jobs ever imagined. Hope this helps anyone on the fence.
I have had this tablet since it came out and you can get flash support all you need to do is side load the flash apk file and it will still run. I have used it to watch movies from Amazon on it and they stream wit no problem. Hunt around you should be able to find the file on the net.
If you are looking for help or have questions about this tablet there is a forum on Amazon that has been running since around the time of release and a group of us will answer question or point you in the right direction. There is also a Google+ group called Tablet Pens and Sins you can request a join and there again are many that will help you with info on this tablet.

Exactly, just because a developer stops support for a product doesn't mean you can't still use it.
Remember people this is not an IPad, meaning that you are not locked in to only being able to use the App Store for your apps. All you need is an APK and your good to go.
For those that don't like ads in their apps I recommend using an ad blocker like Adaway. Even though Google pulled these types of apps from the Google Play you can still get them from other sources like below you do have to be rooted for them to work properly though:
Does anyone know if this is Factory Refurbished & what kind of warranty it comes with? Thanks!

They have been saying that for a couple years now, but there are still plenty of educational and game sites that still use flash. It's nice to know that you still have the option to run it. My daughter and son both have an Acer A500 (tegra 2) updated to ICS (via manufacturer updates) that still runs many flash sites just fine.
I wish woot accepted Amazon gift cards.

You are kidding, right. Nothing Apple fits anything but Apple.
yayobama wrote:The new versions of these online have "polaris office" whereas this one "supports documents type...word, excel, powerpoint." So does that mean this refurb has more universal office software or what? It seems too good to be true that this gadget includes microsoft software that costs about as much as the tablet itself.
The factory-installed apps are completely irrelevant. You can install/remove whatever you like after you buy it. Microsoft offers absolutely nothing in the way of the desktop Office Suite as an app, regardless of OS or manufacturer. Polaris Office is mediocre in most cases.
Typically, Google Drive will cover the MS Office documents you need to open or edit. If you need full compatibility with every niggling XLSM and , either connect to your desktop with something like the excellent Jump Desktop and use the real thing, or use Microsoft's own (occasionally troublesome) Office 365 via Exchange server.
No. Android tablets are not particularly well known for being Mac-compatible.

I bought a referbished Galaxy Tab 10.1 a little more than a year ago from Woot and it looked and worked like brand new.
I currently own this Note 10.1 and it is just fantastic. Once rooted there are so very many things that can be done with it.
I have this tablet and an iPad 3.
In a lot of ways this is like a slightly less good iPad. Form factor and fit and finish is nice but not quite as nice, display is close but no cigar, battery life is much better than any laptop I've used but not quite iPad level, etc.
However a lot of things are better about Android. If you used it in 2.0 or (lord have mercy) 1.0 I'd advise that you give it another try with an open mind. It has made great strides in usability. Predictably it also has great integration with Google apps, Gmail, etc. Google Maps is really good.
Overall I find myself reaching for the Note more often than the iPad. If you need a tablet and are considering this, you'll probably be very happy with it.
I have just bougth one for a friend. I have one since last Christmas and it is awesome. I'd like to know about the extended waranty with squareTrade. How should I do it? or even better, I have read about American Express extended waranty but It is not clear if it covers this purchase. do somebody have experience with that and can help me, please?

That is NOT the same tablet. Micro Center's is the older refurbished Samsung GT-P5113-TS16AR Galaxy Tab 2 Tablet (Dual-core cpu, 1GB RAM) & Woot's is a way better newer refurbished Samsung GT-N8013 Galaxy Note (Quad-core cpu, 2GB RAM).
Woot's tablet is "no longer available" at Micro Center but still has a great long helpful but brief description of Woot's tablet product feature overview at the web link below (with a 4.7 out of 5 star high rating from 5 reviews):

i bought a 32gb note from costco on sale and then returned it because i got the infinity on woot for cheaper, my wife liked the note better, i like the infinity better, they're almost identical except the note has a lower res. screen, and the note has dual front facing speakers and the stylus. I also think the infinity might be a little bit slower than the note

You should. This has a microSD slot expandable to 64 gb. I put all my pictures, music and video on the SD, save the HD drive for apps.
Alright after staring at this deal all day, I am in for one! This should be quite an upgrade from the Acer Iconia Tab A200 I got off Woot a year ago. I really miss the pen feature of my Windows table I got back in 2007.
danbfas wrote:You should. This has a microSD slot expandable to 64 gb. I put all my pictures, music and video on the SD, save the HD drive for apps.
Oops, sorry. I think 32 is max for the card. Either way, buy 2!
If you're going to do that, you should move quickly! BestBuy's new returns policy is only 15 DAYS even WITH a receipt! Used to love BestBuy. Now I doubt I'll shop there again.
Last month, I tried to return a new/unopened speaker I had bought. I had my receipt, but it was now day 17. Oh noes!
Had to speak to two managers before I could get the return going. Then the one that agreed to do the refund was acting like he was absolutely bending over backwards to help me out. Long, long explanation of how this is store policy and how they're trying to compete with companies like Wal-Mart, etc. And, in the end he issued it as a store credit, not a credit back on my card.
Like I said, if you're going to get your refund, do it soon!
(By the way I bought the new 8" Galaxy Note about a week ago...liking it a lot so far!)
Deeneaus wrote:FFFFF!!! Sometimes I hate capitalism! I literally paid $30 bucks more for this exactly two months ago now on Woot!
So it wasn't worth $.50/day to get it two months sooner?

I had a Windows Tablet PC about 10 years ago that looked and functioned about as well as this POS.
While Samsung was busy trying to rip off Apple they should ripped off some quality while they were at it.
They are for me. I use it to take inventory, and many other chores that the pen and expandable memory help me with.

Bottle design
Starting from the countless technical innovations introduced on the ERGON EBS series stretch-blow moulders, SMI designers have developed a new series of ultra-compact, fully electronic, rotary stretch-blow moulders called ERGON EBS K (the letter K of the name comes from the German word "kompakt").
Capable of satisfying production demands of up to 8,800 bottles/hour, the new models are available in 2, 3 and 4-cavity versions, and offer all the advantages of rotary technology in a "speed" range (from 1,000 to 8,800 bottles/hour), traditionally occupied by linear stretchblow moulders.
The EBS K ERGON series of rotary stretch blow-moulders ensures high performances in the stretch blow-moulding of PET bottles, mainly used in the "food & beverage" sector; thanks to high-tech components, minimized maintenance and operational costs and excellent quality/price ratio, the EBS K ERGON series is the ideal solution for the production of plastic containers of different capacities, featuring various shapes, from the simplest to the most sophisticated ones.
|Max. output (BPH)

1Preforms feeding
The preforms are transferred from the hopper to the unscrambler through a lifting belt; the unscrambler conveys them to an inclined guide, from where they reach the spacing star wheel at the heating module infeed, by gravitational fall. The star wheel feeds the rotary mandrel chain, through which the preforms are "captured" and let into the heating module.
2Preforms heating
Before entering the heating module, equipped with infrared lamps, each preform undergoes accurate checks, which detect its size and vertical position and automatically eliminate the preforms not compliant with the pre-set parameters. The preforms, supported by the mandrels, start moving along the heating module. During the heating process, the preforms constantly turn around themselves, so as to ensure an excellent and symmetrical heat distribution. The heating module is equipped with two different cooling systems: a liquid-fed cooling system, in order to cool the protection ring preventing the preforms thread deformation during the heating process; an air-fed cooling system, in order to keep the temperature inside the heating module as low as to avoid the exposure of the preforms outside walls to too high temperatures. At the heating module outlet, a sensor detects the preform temperature and compares it with the temperature set point; if the two values do not correspond, it increases or decreases the heating module lamps power.
3Preforms stretch-blow moulding
A special rotary group of grippers picks up the preforms from the oven and sets them into the stretch-blowing stations. The stretch-blowing process includes two phases:
- stretching and pre-blowing, which occur simultaneously through the descent of the motorized stretching rod and the supply of low-pressure compressed air;
- final blowing with high-pressure compressed air, through which the containers take their final shape. A counter-pressure air system ensures the perfect locking of the moulds, whereas the mechanical locking of the mold-holders allows bearing the strengths generated by the stretch-blow moulding process with the maximum reliability. Also the stretch-blowing stations are equipped with a liquid-fed cooling system, which keeps the molds temperature constant.
4Bottles outlet
During the blowing process, an accurate measurement system checks that the process follows the pression profile required. In fact, a pressure drop would alter the container shape which would cause the automatic rejection of the container. The finished bottles are picked from the stretch-blowing stations by another rotary group of grippers and put onto an air conveyor which finally transfers them to the filling machines.

First Meet at Dartmouth on Saturday
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – With all five its top five runners from last year's Heptagonals and NCAA Regionals returning, the Bulldogs bring a much more experienced group this season than the young squad from last year. They will open the season at the Dartmouth Invitational in this Saturday. Head coach Dan Ireland is optimistic about the impact the experience of the team will have this year.
"That experience should definitely show in all of our races this season," Ireland said.
The Bulldogs lose Max Brown '10, Alex Harris '10 and Chris Labosky '10 to graduation. However, that means they only lose three of their top twelve from last year with many key runners returning.
Senior Jeff Perrella and junior Conor Dooney should be among the Bulldogs' top runners again this season. Dooney had an impressive sophomore debut after sitting out his freshman year because of injuries, finishing 13th at Heptagonals and earning All-Ivy honors. Perrella also had a solid season last year finishing 19th at Heptagonals and came in the top 30 at NCAA Regionals. Senior captain Max Walden and senior Matt Bogdan, who ran in the top five last year, should also make huge contributions. Bogdan looks especially strong after last outdoor track season, having qualified for NCAA Regionals in the 3,000-meter steeplechase.
The junior duo of sophomores Jake McKenzie and Nathan Richards, who rounded out the top five at last year's Heptagonals, are also coming off of impressive track seasons; Richards scored in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at outdoor Heptagonals, while McKenzie scored in the 3,000-meter run at indoor Heptagonals.
After summer training, coach Ireland also highlighted junior Julian Sheinbaum and sophomores Demetri Goutos and Sam Kirtner. Sheinbaum was number six for the Bulldogs at Regionals last year, while Goutos had a solid start to his freshman cross country debut by finishing as Yale's number 3 runner against Harvard before illness sidelined him the rest of the season.
"Those guys had very, very good summers and are in great shape," Ireland said.
Among the Bulldogs' new recruits, freshmen Ryan Laemel and Blake Hofmeister look particularly strong. "Laemel is the second-best high school two-miler (9:03) we've ever brought into Yale," Ireland said. "He will have an impact on our top ten." Hofmeister, a 9:10 high school 2 miler, should also compete for a spot among the top 10 runners on the Eli squad.
The Bulldogs also hope to get contributions from seniors David Demres, Chris Scavone, and James Wyper, junior Sam Lynch and sophomores Kevin Lunn and Matthew Thwaites as well as freshman Michael Cunetta.
With both an experienced group returning and promising newcomers, the Bulldogs look ready to kick off the season. Their first race at Dartmouth will start at 10:30 a.m., and results will be posted on Yalebulldogs.com after the meet.

It was the first time we had left our 9 month old so we were a little nervous but Sylwia's calm & gentle manner instantly reassured us. We messaged to see how things were going & although Ellie had woken up Sylwia got her back to sleep straight away & took the time to send a long text with lots of detail which was lovely to receive & put our minds at rest so that we could enjoy our evening knowing Ellie was in very good hands. Thanks for making our first night out a relaxing one Sylwia! We'd love to have you again xxx.
Alison is fun, enthusiastic, kind, and incredibly responsible. I have only left my now 21 month old twins with immediate family members, so was a bit reluctant to seek a sitter. However, I was impressed with Alison. We have since booked with her for two separate occasions. Alison stole my kids' hearts straight from the get-go. They tend to be sensitive to strange new faces but took to Alison very well. She is calm, considerate and knowledgeable in working with children. We will definitely book Alison again.
Antoinette is wonderful! We booked her for our 6 year old who can be anxious and extremely shy. On meeting Antoinette we felt immediately reassured that our LO would be happy to be looked after by her. Antoinette is patient, kind and extremely capable. we have no hesitation in recommending her and will be requesting Antoinette again very soon. Thank you Antoinette! We had a wonderful day out by ourselves - and both felt really comfortable knowing our LO was being so well looked after.

President stays on as Research Dataware sold to N.J. companyBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
December 19. 2012 9:34PM
Research Dataware, a software company that specializes in helping researchers comply with federal and state regulations, has been sold by its New Hampshire-based owner to WIRB-Copernicus Group of Princeton, N.J., for an undisclosed amount.
Jeremy Katz of Lebanon, president and founder of Research Dataware, will stay on as president after the sale. "My role in the company is substantially unchanged," he said.
Research Dataware, which operates primarily out of the Cambridge Innovation Center in Cambridge, Mass., hosts IRBNet, a Web-based solution for researchers who need help complying with regulations surrounding the use of human subjects in research.
WIRB-Copernicus is the world's largest provider of regulatory and ethical review services for human research.
"Research Dataware and WIRB are working in partnership to ensure the ethical treatment of human subjects and improve the efficiency of research worldwide," Katz wrote in an email. "The combined WIRB and Research Dataware entities intend to maintain and likely expand their presence in Cambridge."
IRBNet, which stands for Institutional Review Boards, has more than 90,000 users in more than 1,700 hospitals, defense department labs, universities and schools of medicine.
WIRB also acquired Research Dataware's Web-based solutions for compliance in other areas, including animal research, biosafety and conflicts of interest.
Katz is best-known in New Hampshire as president of segTEL, based in Lebanon, a provider of fiber optic services to carrier, wholesale, and large enterprise customers throughout the Northeast.

For most people, automobiles are used for practical purposes. A lucky few drive expensive status symbols.
But then there's the rare breed: the collector with one or even a stable full of rare, collectible cars. For these buyers, automobiles are a treasure. And an investment. For example, in May 2010, an unnamed buyer paid a record $30-plus million for a 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic. The previous owner had purchased the car in 1971 for $59,000 — a hefty price at the time, no doubt — but a pretty nice rate of return at almost 17 percent annually.
But what cars made today, or more specifically in the last 20 years, will become the 1936 Bugatti of the future? We asked McKeel Hagerty, a car afficionado and CEO of Hagerty Insurance, the leading insurer of rare and collectible automobiles and boats, which cars he thinks will lead the field when it comes to investing.
Click ahead for Hagerty's picks. The top 10 most collectible cars of the future.
