The proprietary Auto-Shell filter uses a 66-inch (168 cm) deep bed of 100-percent black walnut shells that have excellent surface characteristics for coalescing and filtration, as well as superior resilience to attrition. These filters eliminate the need for flat media retention screens, and use only one media-scrubbing pump for up to eight filters. This simplifies the design and lowers the cost of multiple filter systems.
Flat media retention screens are not required
Only one media scrubbing pump is needed, simplifying the design and lowering the cost
Deep nutshell bed produces superior effluent quality, longer filtration runs and greater throughput efficiency backwashing process that uses raw process water, eliminating the need for air scour, stand-by filters or additional storage tanks
Twice the flux rate of conventional filters in the same application
Filtration that removes three times the amount of solids before cleaning is required
We have been manufacturing API oil water separators since the 1930's, when we worked with the American Petroleum Institute (API) to develop the industry's standard design. Our API separator design has been risk-assessed, assuring safe operation. Above ground, steel tankage provides double-containment and visual leak detection for hazardous sludges and wastewater, and VOCs are contained through the use of vapor-tight covers. Additional safety features include non-metallic collector components and covers, stainless steel on all wearing metallic components, deflagration vents, flame arrestors, and more.
Sludge collection hoppers, screw conveyors, flushing connections, clean-outs, sludge withdrawal piping, and sludge pumps are designed to remove and transfer API separator bottoms with minimal maintenance and operator attention. This is critical because the inability to remove thick, sticky sludges is the main reason the collector components fail in petroleum applications.

At the heart of the CPS is the Corrugated Plate Interceptor (CPI) plate pack. The plate pack design minimizes the distance a free oil droplet must rise before coming into contact with other oil droplets. This design ensures that the oil droplets coalesce on the undersides of the corrugated plates, facilitating the free oil removal process.
The configuration and number of plates of the CPS units provide enough effective area for free oil removal down to 15 ppm with greater than 60 micron removal. Since the plates are arranged parallel to each other with a 3/4-inch (2 cm) spacing, the separator is able to tolerate up to 100 ppm total suspended solids without affecting the effluent quality.
Typically, these units are one-fifth the size of an in-ground API separator, and produce a finer effluent quality.
Better effluent quality - removes free oil droplets 60 microns or larger
Superior solids handling - tolerates 100 ppm total suspended solids
Low maintenance design - no moving parts
Quality construction - design meets API standards
GAC is retained in the aeration tanks via screening, isolating the GAC from the membrane filtration section of the biological treatment plant. By retaining the activated carbon in the aeration section, carbon consumption costs are minimized through biological regeneration of the GAC. Effluent quality is significantly improved with the use of activated carbon. In many cases, the EcoRight(TM) system effluent can be fed directly to a water reuse technology such as an RO system or multi-effect evaporator.
Specifically designed to meet the needs of the Oil & Gas Industry, the EcoRight MBR is able to meet increasingly strict effluent requirements and offer economical reuse of water and wastewater through a combination of biological treatment and carbon adsorption.
Features and Benefits
Siemens has a wide range of application experience in the Oil & Gas Industry, in addition to a large installed base of technologies and the ability to offer supporting technologies for an EcoRight™ system plant.
Reduced footprint requirements compared to conventional biological treatment + GAC
Reduced waste disposal
Lower CAPEX and OPEX compared to conventional biological treatment + activated carbon filtration
Water sustainability/reuse technology
New Release
In the Folded Flow® design, as the density current travels laterally, clean water, being heavier, peels away from the bottom of the density current and flows downward. At the bottom of the tank, the downward flow gathers in a laminar fashion to form a horizontal return current, which accelerates as it nears the outlet. The downward velocity of liquid from the surface layer to the return stream at the bottom is relatively constant along the length of the tank and is uniformly close to a minimum flow. This ensures that the bubbles are moving upward throughout the entire volume of the tank.
Circular DAF separators can be an economical alternative in many applications, as at this petroleum refinery. Circular units are available as standard package units or as modular build units.

The liquid/liquid hydrocyclone is one of the most advanced, yet least complicated oil/water separation devices available. It effectively removes free oil and grease in a compact package, at a cost far less than other types of separators. Liquid/liquid hydrocyclones are ideal for oily process water and oil-field produced water applications.
The solid/liquid hydrocyclone offers effective solids removal in a compact package. It can handle high levels of solids, with removal capabilities down to five micron.Solid/liquid hydrocyclones are ideal for treating oily process water and oil-field produced water, desanding of injection water and for sand jetting systems applications.

Liners that feature twin inlet ports for superior hydraulic stability
A stable oil core that allows for higher removal, reducing or eliminating the need for emulsion breaking chemicals
Operation at turndown ratios from 5:1 to 15:1
Materials of construction that provide superior erosion and corrosion resistance for longer design life
Hydrocell separators use a single pump to drive four proprietary air (gas) eductors, instead of separate motor-driven impellers for each cell. This allows each eductor to saturate the entire volume of each separation cell with fine bubbles, ensuring efficient oil/water separation.
The Hydrocell separator is used to process oil field-produced water, both onshore and offshore, or to process plant wastewater effluents prior to biological treatment or discharge into public waterways.
Uses less power, is substantially lighter and has fewer moving parts than standard impeller-driven systems
Four cells in series allow maximum liquid/air contact
Cells are individually adjustable for maximum skimming efficiency and optimum air introduction
Optional gas-tight and pressurized designs ensure containment of volatile organic compounds
The proprietary filter design requires no moving equipment to perform backwashes, and greatly reduces the volume of backwash water produced when compared to other walnut shell filter designs. This simplifies the design of the filters, reduces the weight and footprint, and lowers the cost of multiple filter systems.
Walnut shell filtration was developed as a more suitable method of filtering free oil and suspended solids in applications where sand filters have traditionally been used. Today, walnut shell filtration is used to treat oil field produced water, refinery wastewater, steel mill direct spray and caster water, ethylene plant quench water, copper concentrate decant and cooling water. In addition, due to the reduction in backwash water volume and reduction in weight and footprint, this re-designed filter is suitable for many off-shore oil production applications.
Principles of Operation
The Monosep™ high-flow walnut shell filter uses a deep bed of 100 percent black walnut shells, which have excellent surface characteristics for coalescing and filtration, plus superior resilience to attrition. The filter's deep nutshell bed (66 in., 168 cm) offers superior effluent quality, longer filtration runs, and greater throughput efficiency.
The filter uses raw process water and gas or air for backwashing, eliminating the need for moving mechanical equipment or external scouring equipment. The filter operates at twice the flux rate of conventional sand filters in the same application, and can remove over three times the amount of solids before needing to be cleaned.
Filter Operation
During the filtration cycle, dirty process water passes through the filter from top to bottom. As the water passes through the walnut shell media, free oil and suspended solids are removed. After 24 hours of filtration, the dirty process water is redirected and pulsed into the bottom of the vessel to fluidize the media bed. In addition, air or process gas is added in a proprietary manner to create an airlift pump.
The airlift pump lifts the contaminated media to the top of the vessel where the turbulence of the backwash water and gas separates oil and suspended solids from the walnut shells. The use of air or gas greatly reduces the amount of backwash water required. The mixture of air or gas and backwash water is separated in an external vessel. One separator vessel can be used for multiple walnut shell filters. Upon completion of the backwash cycle, the flow of dirty process water is again returned to the top of the vessel.

The Spinsep vertical flotation system incorporates several unique methods for removing oil from produced and wastewater streams before they are discharged or injected.
Improved technology and a vertical vessel design reduce the footprint required for this innovative flotation system. The Spinsep flotation system can be designed as an ASME code or a non-code vessel.
How it Works
As the influent stream enters the Spinsep system vessel, it flows through a centrifugal coalescing device (Spiralsep™ system) installed in the inlet piping to the vessel. This component initiates gravity separation of the incoming liquid and, if necessary, mixes incoming flotation aids such as chemical water clarifiers.
The circular motion created in the Spinsep vessel by the 90-degree inlet angle results in greater path distance the liquid must travel resulting in improved removal efficiency. The Spiralsep system also stimulates gas bubbles and oil droplet attachment.
Oil droplets grow on the surface of the pack medium until gravity brings them to the surface where they are skimmed into the oil bucket.
Water flowing through the gas flotation zone below the packing scrubs it clean of attached oil. These droplets rise to the surface and are skimmed with incoming free oil.

The PACT system can be used to treat industrial, refinery, petrochemical, coal gasification wastewater, as well as highly contaminated surface water or groundwater. The single-step treatment process results in significant cost and performance advantages over systems such as activated sludge and granular carbon.
There are many other benefits to using a PACT® system. The powdered activated carbon used in the systems improves the performance of biological systems by stabilizing them against upsets and shock loading. PACT® systems control color and odor, and can reduce costs for residuals disposal and remove soluble organics. With a PACT® system, you will use far less carbon than with a granular system to achieve equal or better treatment. And, you won't have the problems of prefiltration or column plugging common to granular systems. Further, powdered carbon costs less than granular carbon.
PACT® systems are at work today at installations around the world, helping users comply with:
Regulations for organic chemicals, plastics and synthetic fiber (OCPSF) manufacturing discharges
Stringent bio-assay standards for effluent discharges
Pre-treatment regulations controlling industrial discharges to POTWs
Stringent COD and nitrogen standards for direct effluent discharges
PACT® systems include retrofits as well as new construction. They range from factory-built units treating 600 to 100,000 gallons a day, to field-erected units treating up to one MGD, to custom-designed systems handling as much as 50 MGD. Both single-stage and two-stage PACT® systems are available in continuous or batch flow configurations.
PACT® system customers also benefit from more than 30 years of process knowledge, pilot plant testing capabilities and project design expertise of Siemens Water Solutions.
Improved performance of aerobic and anaerobic biological systems by stabilizing them against upsets and shock loading
Color and odor control
Reduced costs for disposing of residuals
Eliminates problems with prefiltration or column plugging
Wet Air Regeneration (WAR) Systems for Carbon Regeneration
Wet Air Regeneration (WAR) systems are used in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment applications to regenerate spent powdered activated carbon from our PACT® systems.
WAR systems can be field-erected units that are able to handle large volumes, or shop-fabricated, skid-mounted units designed for flows as low as 2 gallons per minute.WAR systems regenerate the spent carbon as a slurry, so there are no expensive, labor-intensive dewatering steps required. Carbon recovery rates of 90 percent or more are common. At the same time, the process oxidizes the organic sludge associated with the spent carbon, reducing the sludge to a small amount of sterile ash. This eliminates the expense and liability of sludge disposal. These systems are ideal for PACT systems where virgin carbon rates exceed approximately 2,000 pounds per day.
Energy efficient autothermal operation
Low operating cost
No spent carbon dewatering required
No SOx, NOx or particulate emissions
No sludge for disposal
90+ percent carbon recovery
Small footprint
Fully enclosed
Applicable to small or large flows
Any separated ash is stable, non-leaching

Wet air oxidation is the oxidation of soluble or suspended components in water using oxygen as the oxidizing agent. When air is used as the source of oxygen the process is referred to as wet air oxidation (WAO). The oxidation reactions occur at temperatures of 150º C to 320º C (275º F to 608º F) and pressures from 10 to 220 barg (150 to 3200 psig).
The wet oxidation process can pretreat difficult wastewater streams, making them amenable for discharge to a conventional biological treatment plant for polishing. The process is also used for oxidation of contaminants in production liquors for recycle/reuse.
Pretreatment of high strength wastewater to produce biodegradable residual organics
Destruction of specific compounds
Elimination of toxicity or reactivity
Process liquor treatment for recycle/recovery
Gross reduction of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)
Common wet air oxidation applications include:
Treatment of high strength wastewater, including spent caustic streams generated by ethylene crackers and refineries
In-process, for treatment and recycle/recovery of process liquor streams
Biological sludge conditioning and destruction
Wet oxidation has historically been used for municipal wastewater sludge applications. At lower temperatures and pressures, sludge is conditioned to improve dewatering. This is referred to as Low Pressure Oxidation (LPO). At higher temperatures and pressures, biological sludge can be destroyed, as an alternative to incineration.
Our wet air oxidation capabilities include:
Treatability Testing
Technical Papers
Zimpro® Electro-oxidation (ZEO) is a new, commercially available treatment process developed especially to treat the highly problematic spent caustic streams produced by sweetening operations in petroleum refineries. The ZEO process is particularly effective on low volume or low concentration spent caustic that may be below the economically feasible threshold for other established treatment technologies.
ZEO uses electricity to generate hydroxyl radicals to perform oxidation in wastewater. The technology has the ability to mineralize recalcitrant organic and inorganic contaminants in toxic and biocidal wastewater streams that are difficult to treat by other means. The technology also eliminates odors and HSE concerns stemming from the presence of sulfides and mercaptans in the streams, as well as removing toxic compounds from effluent destined for an on-site wastewater treatment plant. Because ZEO does not require the purchase, storage and handling of such reactive reagents, it is attractive and effective even on relatively small-scale effluent streams.
The new ZEO process also overcomes the practical limitations of earlier technology by employing a robust synthetic diamond electrode material. This enables the electrodes to handle high current densities while providing a long life in such a difficult waste stream.
Demonstration testing can be performed in Siemens' Rothschild, Wisconsin, Pilot Plant Facility, with an analytical lab on site to provide quick results.

MONROE, Conn. (AP) — The Connecticut students who survived a mass shooting at their school will return to class after the winter break at a school in a neighboring town.
Twenty students and six staff members were killed by a gunman on Friday at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown. The Connecticut Post reported Tuesday (http://bit.ly/TY4dPC ) the school's other students will attend Chalk Hill School in Monroe.
Chalk Hill hasn't been used as a school since June 2011. Volunteers and town officials have been making it suitable for elementary school students.
Monroe Superintendent of Schools James Agostine's office says the school will reopen after Jan. 1 but a date hasn't been set. Newtown school officials will decide.
Monroe police Lt. Brian McCauley says authorities are trying to make sure the school is safe for when Newtown officials send teachers and students there.

As CEOs communicate with consumers and investors on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn in growing numbers, it seems inevitable that the SEC would question whether commentary in social media counts as a public disclosure.
Netflix and its CEO Reed Hastings both received Wells Notices from the SEC, related to a post Hastings made on Facebook in July, saying that Netflix users streamed more than 1 billion hours of video in June. The stock rose 13 percent.
The SEC is looking into whether Hastings' post violates fair-disclosure rules. Hastings responded with a statement—pasted in its entirety below—which argues that because he has 200,000 subscribers on Facebook, he did effectively communicate publicly. He notes that Netflix had already disclosed that it was getting close to 1 billion hours of streaming in investor letter. And he points to the fact that the stock started gaining before his post, "likely driven by the positive Citigroup research report the evening before."

Mommal knows whereof she speaks. I'd look into renting a hospital grade pump just for the time it takes for you to build your supply.
You can call me JoMo!
Mom to baby boy Joe, born 5/4/09 and breastfed for more than two and a half years, and baby girl Maggie, born 7/9/12.
Thanks for the great advice.
As for the pump from the hospital, is there one that I should look for, thats better than the others? The hospital I delivered at had yellow symphony medela pumps, but I just looked online and I saw there are rentals through the web. Any recommendations?
I EPed for a year with a Symphony. It will do the job. I use a Limerick now, but any hospital grade will do. I had great results with an Ameda, but it's not made to pump for 120 minutes a day, which is what an EPing mom needs to put in to develop a good supply.
I would suggest a bottle first, giving an ounce or two, and finishing at the breast. You are way more likely to be able to wean off the bottle once you have a better supply by getting baby to associate feeding with the breast than a bottle.
Mama to my all-natural boys: Ian, 9-4-04, 11.5 lbs; Colton, 11-7-06, 9 lbs, in the water; Logan, 12-8-08, 9 lbs; Gavin, 1-18-11, 9 lbs; and an angel 1-15-06
18+ months and for Gavin, born with an incomplete cleft lip and incomplete posterior cleft palate
Sealed for time and eternity, 7-7-93
Always babywearing, cosleeping and cloth diapering. Living with oppositional defiant disorder and ADHD. Ask me about cloth diapering and sewing your own diapers!
I just wanted to say thanks for the responses but I seem to still be having issues.
I rented the Ameda Elite Hospital grade pump but I dont seem to be getting results and I was wondering if I am doing something wrong
Currently I am BF baby when he gets hungry for about 10-15 minutes each side. After this, I bottle feed about 3-4 ounces. After this, I pump for 15 minutes with the double attachment (so both sides at the same time). I dont see any improvement so far (2 days) and I think I might be having less milk than before.
My question is, does this sound like a good process? Should I just bottle feed then pump instead? I dont want the baby to forget how to BF.. but Im so worried about losing my milk, Im down to under an ounce for pumping both sides
Thanks for any input!
Stop watching the clock when you nurse baby. 10 minutes is not enough. Nurse the baby more. Then pump for 20 minutes every 2-3 hours around the clock.
It takes more than 2 days though. It takes me a week to rebuild supply via a pump.
Try power pumping. Pump 10 minutes, off 10 minutes, and repeat for an hour or two in the evening.
If you are getting an ounce after nursing, that is Ok. It's AFTER nursing. What you pump is NOT an indicator or what baby is getting.
Mama to my all-natural boys: Ian, 9-4-04, 11.5 lbs; Colton, 11-7-06, 9 lbs, in the water; Logan, 12-8-08, 9 lbs; Gavin, 1-18-11, 9 lbs; and an angel 1-15-06

2 days is still too early to tell if it's increasing your supply. It takes longer than that. I also agree that you should not be nursing for only ten minutes. You should be nursing for as long as baby will nurse. Every time. And then hopefully, as your supply increases, supplementing less and less afterwards.
Definitely don't try to switch entirely to the pump. The baby is more effective than the best pump at getting your milk to let down and increasing your supply. Maximize nursing every chance you get.
You can call me JoMo!
Mom to baby boy Joe, born 5/4/09 and breastfed for more than two and a half years, and baby girl Maggie, born 7/9/12.
And, following a prior suggestion, you might start with a supplement (or sandwich it btwn bfing) so that you finish at the breast. Ultimately you also want to wean off bottles and pump, too, and finishing at the breast is a good start for that. Also, skin to skin time with baby can be a big help, as can sleeping near eachother. It will come! Just be patient.

Proud that I grew 26 lbs of baby before solids, and still counting...
We received banked milk in the NICU. Thank you, donors!!!
Anything you get after nursing is something your baby didnt ingest. So If you were making 1oz the baby would drink that and you would get drops. Say you doubled it and were making 2oz - baby would drink that and pumping you would just get drops. You would never know you had doubled your supply.
Also I hope you know this, I didn't which is why I am mentioning it. A baby needs 1-1.5 oz of breastmilk per hour. Many moms are making plenty and think they aren't because they are trying to make insane amounts. I could pump 3 oz every two hours when I was at work which was just perfect. But I know formula fed babies who gor 6oz every 2 hrs. I would have thought my supply was terrible if I had been comparing to that.
proud but exhausted working mammy to two high needs babies
- my surprise baby: the one and only D-Man born 3 weeks late (5/5/08) at 9 lbs 14 oz and 21.5 inches, and
- the shock H-Girl born about a week late (10/7/09) at 8lbs 15oz and 20.75 inches.
If I am here I am covered in baby (probably two) and fighting for control of the keyboard.
Family beds are awesome
Wondering if you have PPD? Take the screening and see your doctor. You deserve to feel better.
UHG I had a long post wrote and it all went away. I hate this pc.
Any way, as hard as it is you have to night pump it is essential to getting your supply up. The night time is when milk producing hormones are at their highest and it will effect your entire days milk supply if you don't.
During the day I would nurse/pump each session, but at night till baby is effecient at nursing and not needing supplementing, I would have DH give baby a bottle and you pump. That way you get a bit more res at night till baby can nurse completely with out supplement. It's just so important to extract milk at night. Between 2 and 6 am especially, if you can at least get one pump session in that would be good, 2 would be even better! Just try to remind yourself it won't be forever, just till you can get baby completely back to breast then you can co-sleep and feed baby directly from breast at night, so much easier then even supplementing at night!
And yes at least a week with a pump. Using only a hand pump all this time, and giving baby so much formula in this time has done a number on your supply so it will take a bit of time to get it to come back up> But, it can be done. Just keep at it.

Have you thought about using a SNS for giving the formula? That way you are still simulating the breast and sending the message that you need more milk to your body. As many of the mama's have said late night/early morning most women have the best supply if you can pump then you will probably get a better output. GOOD LUCK

You set goals at the beginning of the fiscal year and you already know that your employees won't make them.
Yes, they've had to push a little harder than they did before and they've endured some layoffs but everybody seems to have adjusted. Still, you know that morale is low and you're thinking a fun group event might help.
According to David Posen, MD, you're on the right track but there are lots more things you can do for your employees. In his book "Is Work Killing You?" you'll see how helping them will help you.
In his medical practice, David Posen sees "first-hand and up close the psychological and physical damage" caused by workplace woes. Employees are stretched too thin, they're doing more work for less money - some businesses even expect employees to work through lunches, weekends, holidays, and vacations - which often leads to headaches, forgetfulness, irritability, agitation, and depression that Posen directly attributes to work-related stress.
"Workplaces are making people sick," he says, and no one seems willing to discuss it.
As he sees it, the biggest contributors to workplace stress are volume (an increase in workload, to the point of overload), velocity (accelerated speed at which employees are expected to work), and abuse (office bullies who "wreak havoc"). Other issues come into play, but these are the top three.
So what can you do?
Though it's a "hard sell," Posen says studies indicate that productivity, mental clarity, and energy actually improve when work hours are reduced, face-time and meetings become optional, vacation-taking is mandatory, and employees are encouraged to disconnect from work on a regular basis.
As an employer, you'll also get more out of your employees if you encourage healthy habits. If it's feasible, let them go home early when work is finished. Share the wealth - or at least make salaries more equitable. Help employees deal with office politics. Know the difference between "excellent service and excessive service." Prioritize projects wisely and discourage multitasking.
Lastly, ease up. Your employees' health and your bottom line both depend on it.
Wow. As I was reading "Is Work Killing You?" there was one question that kept popping into mind: why isn't this book taught in school?
You'll ask yourself that, too, as you devour this common-sense, how-to, rant-slash-advice book because author and physician David Posen makes many good points for employees and business owners alike. In making those arguments, he underscores his research by sharing dozens of anecdotes from his patients and others, and some of them are jaw-droppingly uncomfortable to read. Posen doesn't leave us hanging on those squirmy details for long, though; he offers pages and pages of ideas meant to make the business world better, do-able from dual sides of the paycheck.
This is one of those books that could potentially benefit anyone who works for a living, and I'm excited to finally see this topic tackled. I think that if a stress-free workday is what your business needs, then reading "Is Work Killing You?" should be your goal.

FPGA Assisted Equine Gene Annotation and Custom Microarray (Genechip®)
Principal Investigator: Alicia Bertone, Ohio State Unviersity
Funding agency: Ohio State University
Duration: 5/2002 - 4/2004
DNA microarrays are small, solid supports containing thousands of gene sequences that are immobilized or attached at fixed locations. This technologic advance has revolutionized the basic approach to research as hundreds to thousands of genes can be analyzed simultaneously under identical conditions to assess various biological models, including disease, therapy, or experimental manipulation. Mammalian commercial microarrays currently exist for human, mouse, and rat, but not for the horse.
Sequence selection and probe design are crucial for the reliability, sensitivity, and specificity of DNA microarrays. The completed human genome consists of ~3,000 mega-bases and ~ 35,000 genes distributed across 23 chromosomes. The mouse genome is in similar size and gene number, except with 3 fewer chromosomes. These genetic data are good templates in comparative analysis to annotate gene information of other organisms. However, huge computation is involved in sequence similarity comparisons. Currently, a public nucleotide sequence database maintained at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) contains > 20,000 equine related sequences, which are sufficient for the generation of the first equine DNA microarray. Several challenges exist for the equine DNA microarray design:
1). There is no public algorithm and software available for DNA microarray design;
2). Not all available equine sequence data are suitable for DNA microarray;
3) There is significant data redundancy and replication in the equine public database. Hence, the data need to be pruned;
4). Significant equine gene data with unknown function need to be annotated by comparative analysis against the annotated human and mouse data.
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) are integrated circuits designed to perform particular types of calculations far more quickly than conventional, general-purpose CPUs. In this sense, FPGAs are similar to the application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) used for a variety of single-purpose processing tasks. However, unlike with ASICs, programmers can use software to "rewire" FPGA circuits for different processes of calculations. TimeLogic has developed DeCypher system based on the FPGA technology with accelerated biocomputing algorithms, including BLAST for genome-level analysis.
Here, we describe a unique DNA microarray design algorithm using the FPGA technology combined with de novo software development.

The McHenry County Fire Chiefs Association encourages residents to join area fire departments in commemorating National Fire Prevention Week.
Fire Prevention Week was established to mark the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. More than 250 people died and 100,000 were left homeless in the fire, which burned for two days.
Between the start of the fire Oct. 8 and when it was brought under control Oct. 9, 17,400 structures burned.
Although the Great Chicago Fire was destructive, it paled in comparison to another fire at the same time. The Peshtigo Fire in northern Wisconsin was the most devastating forest fire in American history.
It destroyed 16 towns, killed 1,152 people and burned 1.2 million wooded acres.
Fire Prevention Week has been commemorated since 1920, when President Woodrow Wilson issued the first National Fire Prevention Day proclamation.
The week generally runs from Sunday to Saturday in the week in which Oct. 9 falls.
The McHenry County Fire Chiefs Association announced local events for the week:
• Cary: An open house will start at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at Station 1 at 400 Cary-Algonquin Road.
• Crystal Lake: An open house will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at Station 1 at 100 W. Woodstock St. For information, call public education coordinator Lt. Joyce Stevenson at 815-356-3640 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
• Fox River Grove: An open house will run from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday at Station 1 at 411 Algonquin Road.
• Marengo: Marengo is having its Settlers' Days activities. The Marengo Fire Department will have bingo from 6 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday at Station 1 at 120 E. Prairie St. The department will host water fights and an open house at 3 p.m. Saturday in front of the station.
• McHenry Township: The department will host open houses at each of the fire stations starting at noon Sunday. Station 1 is at 3610 W. Elm St., McHenry; Station 2 is at 3780 Johnsburg Road, Johnsburg; Station 3 is at 809 Rand Road, Lakemoor; and Station 4 is at 6300 W. Dartmoor Drive, McHenry.

Ryan Blaney wins Kentucky 300
Rookie Ryan Blaney earned his first career NASCAR victory and another Nationwide Series win for Penske Racing's No. 22 Ford, holding off Austin Dillon and surviving several late cautions to win Saturday night's 300-mile race at Kentucky Speedway.
Blaney, who drives for Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski in the Camping World Truck Series, used his second start in the Mustang to claim the car's 10th victory of 2013 and a season sweep at Kentucky. Keselowski drove the car to victory in June.
Blaney's win included tense moments over the final 40 laps, from beating Dillon off pit road with a two-tire stop on lap 166 to reclaiming the lead from Dillon after losing it on the restart. More tests followed, including a near-brush with teammate Sam Hornish Jr.'s loose Ford and one final restart.
Matt Crafton was third, Hornish fourth and rookie Alex Bowman fifth in a Toyota.

The central route emphasizes objective communication of information. The peripheral route relies on psychological techniques. These techniques may take advantage of a target's not thinking carefully about the message. The process mirrors a phenomenon in animal behavior known as
YOSH COLLECTION Pumps Black KxWBn9kUIC
. These are sequences of behavior that occur in exactly the same fashion, in exactly the same order, every time they're elicited. Cialdini ( Burberry Madison Crossbody Bag Brown kPvast
) compares it to a prerecorded tape that is turned on and, once it is, always plays to its finish. He describes it is as if the animal were turning on a tape recorder ( Cialdini, 2008 ). There is the feeding tape, the territorial tape, the migration tape, the nesting tape, the aggressive tape—each sequence ready to be played when a situation calls for it.
In humans fixed action patterns include many of the activities we engage in while mentally on "auto-pilot." These behaviors are so automatic that it is very difficult to control them. If you ever feed a baby, for instance, nearly everyone mimics each bite the baby takes by opening and closing their own mouth! If two people near you look up and point you will automatically look up yourself. We also operate in a reflexive, non-thinking way when we make many decisions. We are more likely, for example, to be less critical about medical advice dispensed from a doctor than from a friend who read an interesting article on the topic in a popular magazine.
A notable characteristic of fixed action patterns is how they are activated. At first glance, it appears the animal is responding to the overall situation. For example, the maternal tape appears to be set off when a mother sees her hungry baby, or the aggressive tape seems to be activated when an enemy invades the animal's territory. It turns out, however, that the on/off switch may actually be controlled by a specific, minute detail of the situation—maybe a sound or shape or patch of color. These are the hot buttons of the biological world—what Cialdini refers to as " trigger features " and biologists call "releasers."
Humans are not so different. Take the example of a study conducted on various ways to promote a campus bake sale for charity (
Alexander McQueen Jacquard Messenger Bag Nylon Black RCNNHcmZUs
). Simply displaying the cookies and other treats to passersby did not generate many sales (only 2 out of 30 potential customers made a purchase). In an alternate condition, however, when potential customers were asked to "buy a cookie for a good cause" the number rose to 12 out of 30. It seems that the phrase "a good cause" triggered a willingness to act. In fact, when the phrase "a good cause" was paired with a locally-recognized charity (known for its food-for-the-homeless program) the numbers held steady at 14 out of 30. When a fictional good cause was used instead (the make believe "Levine House") still 11 out of 30 potential customers made purchases and not one asked about the purpose or nature of the cause. The phrase "for a good cause" was an influential enough hot button that the exact cause didn't seem to matter.

with implants is the single most popular cosmetic surgery in the country. It can give your figure better balance, make clothes shopping more fun, and enhance your natural curves. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis at our surgical center under general anesthesia.
Before undergoing any Breast enhancement surgery, we will need to meet to go over your particular procedure. Because each woman is unique, both physically and in terms of her desired results, it is important that we go over your options. The four questions that you and I will discuss your surgery are noted below.
Based on your anatomy and aesthetic desires, we will develop a customized plan for you. Having realistic expectations for your breast augmentation surgery is important. Women often think of breast size in terms of bra cup size – but most women are actually wearing the wrong bra size!
In our office we have a wide range of sizes that you can put in your bra and test out (the best way to pick your new size). I'll have you feel the difference between saline and silicone breast implants and we will talk about the differences. Generally speaking, silicone breast implants tend to have a more natural feel and retain their shape better than saline. However, saline breast implants can be filled after being placed, allowing for a higher degree of precision and control over your size.
The location of the incision and placement of the implants will also play in important part in your final results. The incision can be made in a concealed area, such as the armpit, although this may not be ideal for the type of implant you want. Determining the placement is similar; placing them over the muscle may be easier, but the benefits of placing the breast implants under the muscle include a more natural appearance. This is why we will have to weigh all your options during your consultation.
It is important to me that your consultation is a relaxed, fun experience. I always think back to when I went in for my breast augmentation consultation. I remember feeling confused and overwhelmed, and had trouble picking a size. In my office, there is no rush; I will explain to you in a clear way what your surgical procedure will entail, and answer any of your questions or concerns. I want you to feel excited about your breast implants!
You must have someone drive you home and stay with you for 24 hours after your augmentation. You will experience some pain the first day or two, although this is easily controlled with pain pills. Some tightness in the breast area is also normal as your body adjusts to the implants.

, which includes drawing her away from Ashur when he begins making advances on her.
Following Naevia 's banishment from the Ludus, Mira and Aurelia are essentially elevated to the status of Lucretia's body slaves.
Mira is called on one night by Spartacus and is sent to his rooms, for what appears to be a visit for sex. Spartacus then reveals to her that, to aid in the slaves' revolt against Batiatus, Mira needs to open the gate separating the ludus from the villa. She agrees, but only if Spartacus will sleep with her and show her some of the love he once felt for his wife, . Spartacus agrees, and the two make love.
Mira slipping away to open the gate.
In the days following the breakout, Mira and Spartacus have entered into a relationship, although Spartacus still holds great affection towards his deceased wife, something that causes Mira great pain.
Mira attempts to convince Spartacus that the Rebels would fare better living out in the mountains as oppossed to the sewers of Capua. He agrees with her which leads her to ask why they remain. Spartacus remains silent to this although Mira is already certain of the answer.
The Rebels soon learn that Gaius Claudius Glaber and an army of Roman soldiers has been sent to kill them all. While the majority agree to leave before it becomes too later, Spartacus believes they are ready to fight something Oenomaus , Crixus and Mira chastise him for. Mira eventually manages to convince Spartacus that they should leave Capua and embark on a mission with Crixus to find Naevia.
The next morning, however, she awakes to find Spartacus gone as he left in order to confront Glaber himself. He is saved at the last moment by Crixus and the other rebels before he is brought back to the sewers. Mira angrily confronted him about what his action, comparing them to that od an angry reckless boy. Spartacus angrily says that he cannot let Glaber live for what he did to him and his wife, but Mira remarks that he needs to focus on something greater, and that all the escaped slaves need him if they are ever going to be free.

whose words caused her to question the depth of her relationship with Spartacus and her meaning to him. After that Mira tended to follow Spartacus on his missions, such as their attack on the Mines where they saved Naevia as she set aside her previous timid nature and adopted a more serious persona. When they freed Naevia, they were pursued by Marcus and his forces during which Mira killed a soldier proving herself a capable fighter. As the chase went on, many rebels were killed and Nasir was wounded, Spartacus started blaming himself but Mira reassured him by stating his actions meant they were now free. When they battled Marcus, Mira attempted to help Spartacus but was knocked down but Spartacus came to her aid by injuring Marcus and killing the soldiers. The next day as they reached Kenzo Sport Large Backpack Nylon Leather Polyester Black fvmx1s

Brazil legend Mario Zagallo has said that the Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) was wrong to sack coach Mano Menezes.
The 50-year-old was dismissed last month and replaced by former Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari.
Andres Sanchez then stepped down in protest of Menezes' departure with Carlos Alberto Perreira taking over, and Zagallo says that while he feels the new recruits will do well in their respective roles, the sacking of Menezes was premature.
"I like Scolari as a friend and he will be working with Carlos Alberto Perreira and I have faith in them to do well," Zagallo told reporters.
"But it was not the right time for the CBF to sack Mano Menezes. Things were getting better, all the Brazilians felt the same way. But it is the CBF's responsibility and it took that decision, but for me it was not the right time."
Zagallo, who won the World Cup with the Selecao as assistant coach in 1994, also said that whilst Santos striker Neymar is a talented footballer, he needs experienced players around him if Brazil are to prosper at World Cup 2014.
"Neymar is a great player, but he is a boy, he is 19-years-old, and he lacks people he can look up to. He needs someone beside him, he still needs to learn. Another boy, Pele, had players to inspire him such as Garrincha, Vava, Nilson Santos."

My question, may Allaah bless you, is about the time for Salaat al-Fajr (early morning prayer): when does it begin? Here in Egypt there is a difference between the time of the prayer given in the timetable and the time of sunrise. This difference is no less than an hour and a half. Is this correct?
Praise be to Allaah.
The time for Salaat al-Fajr is from the break of dawn until the time the sun rises. Whenever you pray during this time, you have performed the prayer on time. Whoever deliberately delays it until the sun has risen has committed a major sin, and some scholars say that he is like one who does not pray it at all. We must beware of delaying prayers until after their time is over. The length of the period between dawn and sunrise is approximately one and a half hours, as is stated in the timetable. These timetables have become a means for people to know the times for the prayers to the hour and minute, and we should pay attention to that, because the prayers are the foundation of Islam. The Muslim must pray regularly and on time, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And those who strictly guard their (five compulsory congregational) Salawaat (prayers) (at their fixed stated hours)" [al-Mu'minoon 23:9]
"Guard strictly (five obligatory) As-Salawaat (the prayers) especially the middle Salaat (i.e. the best prayer - 'Asr)" [al-Baqarah 2:238]
The "middle salaah" is Salaat al-'Asr.

You may stock your sink with all-star essentials, but lip balm is the one product that travels with you, so make sure you choose a brand with some serious firepower. This organic balm goes beyond simple moisture, enhancing its beeswax-fueled formula with vitamins and oils that keep lips soft, smooth, and in good repair. Consider it a new kind of pocket protector: one you'll actually carry with pride.
Perhaps it was just the tube I received, but it was incredibly dried out. So dry in fact, it was crumbling as I was trying to apply to my lips. I have given it several chances, but it is not in the least moisturizing and the scent seems a little off. Maybe I got an expired tube? Not my favorite and would not buy again.1
I read the other reviews before buying and was on the fence but I just have to say this chapstick is amazing! my package was sitting outside in 29 F weather and I had no issue putting it on my lips right away. The menthol is incredibly cooling and soothing especially during flu season. I have found my go to chapstick! LOVE this! And LOVE that its organic!5
This arrived to me looking like it had sat on a shelf for the last 20 years. The texture was that of a wax candle. I had to heat it up my rubbing my finger across it so it would be smooth enough to apply. The fragrance and feel of the mint is very weak. Would not buy again.2

Universal Pictures has released this new clip from Snow White and the Huntsman featuring Kristen Stewart as Snow White in the Dark Forest.
Opening in theaters on June 1st, the action adventure also stars Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth, Sam Claflin, Ray Winstone, Ian McShane, Eddie Izzard, Bob Hoskins, Toby Jones, Eddie Marsan, Stephen Graham, Ray Winstone, Lily Cole, Sam Spruell, Liberty Ross and Noah Huntley.
In the film, Stewart ("Twilight") plays the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen (Theron) who is out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the young woman threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman (Hemsworth) who was dispatched to kill her.

The S&P 500 climbed yesterday to within two points of its record closing level of 1,565.15 set in October 2007, but today has retraced some recent gains. This morning, the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan preliminary sentiment index for March fell to 71.8 from 77.6 in February, while it was predicted to rise to 78. This was an easy impetus for some profit-taking on the 10-day rally in U.S. equity markets. Industrial production rose more than forecast in February, further supporting the thesis that the US economy is truly recovering.
The big recent stories in the commodities markets are cotton and natural gas. Both markets have been on a bullish run recently, and today is no different. APR13 natural gas is up big again today, trading up to $3.91, or up 2.7%. Natural gas inventories took an unexpected dive recently, and The National Weather Service's latest forecasts, spanning March 19-27, show below-normal temperatures coast-to-coast across the northern half of the nation. We believe the $3.75 level could serve as a floor for this market going forward.
Crude oil continues to steadily climb up from the $90 level. Today APR13 crude is trading up $.36 to $93.38. It looks like it is approaching short-term overbought levels, and we would not be surprised to see crude approach $92 to the downside in the near term.
We focus our technical analysis on the JUN13 E-mini S&P 500 market. We have a drawn a key red resistance line on the accompanying chart. This is an important multi-month line which connects the highs of this market since the beginning of February 2013. Throughout March, the market has hugged this line but could not find the strength to go through it. Today, the market has bounced off it once again and now is trading down around 3 points. At some point, we believe the market will break through this important line, but at this point, we could see the market selling off and retracing back to the 1530-1540 area.

Adidas have rolled out the much anticipated third installment of the popular David Beckham / Design by J. Bond collection for Fall/Winter 2011.
The collaboration between sport and style icon David Beckham and Undefeated founder James Bond has been widely celebrated in the past, and will yet again see a contemporary range of footwear, outerwear, and accessories.
Much of the inspiration has clearly been pulled from collegiate imagery and has a very traditional American sportswear feel to it. This is something we have seen a lot of in the last two seasons. The varsity jacket in particular seems to be making a comeback. What do you make of this trend – will you be rocking the look this Fall/Winter?

Tim Price, executive vice president of the Southern Cotton Ginners Association and manager of the yearly event, promises, "It's going to be a great show."
More than 400 exhibitors will make it the largest show ever, filling all 200,000 square feet-plus of the downtown Cook Convention Center on Feb. 27-28.
It is the largest indoor exhibition of agricultural products, equipment, and services in the Mid-South, and the largest cotton equipment trade show in the nation. More than 15,000 people attend the event each year. Admission is free.
The show will open at 9 a.m. Friday and Saturday and run until 5 p.m. Friday and 4:30 p.m. Saturday.
Delta Farm Press is co-sponsor of the show and publishes the official program.
"We believe we have the best lineup of exhibitors in the history of the show," Price says. "Many companies will be with us for the first time; others will be expanding the size of their exhibits. We've got a complete sell-out of space."
Those attending the show will find a convention center packed full of new equipment, as manufacturers continue improving or expanding their product lines.
Most major seed and agrichemical companies will also be represented, as will firms offering a wide variety of ag-related products and services.
"Coming just prior to the start of the spring planting season, or show gives farmers an opportunity to meet first-hand with company representatives and to get the latest information on products and services," Price says.
In addition to the big show, the popular Ag Update seminars will be held Friday and Saturday mornings at 8:30 in the lobby auditorium of the convention center.
The Friday session will feature:
• Woody Anderson, the new chairman of the National Cotton Council, who will present an update on the organization's activities,
• Richard Bell, chief executive officer of Riceland Foods, with the outlook for rice and other grains.
• William B. Dunavant Jr., chief executive officer of Dunavant Enterprises, who will give the cotton market outlook.
Saturday morning's session will have as its theme, "Growing Mid-South Agriculture: Critical Perspectives on Trade, New Uses, and Legislation."
Following introductory remarks by Bill Hawks, USDA Under Secretary for Marketing and Regulatory Programs, speakers will be:
• Dr. Gary Adams, vice president of economics and policy analysis for the National Cotton Council, who will discuss "Key Trade Issues and Cotton's Future."
• Brian Jennings, executive vice president of the American Coalition for Ethanol, who will discuss "Key Issues for Farmers and Bio-Based Energy Production."
• U.S. Rep. Chip Pickering, R-Miss., a member of the Agriculture and Energy and Commerce Committees, who will discuss "Key Agriculture and Energy Issues Facing Congress."
The member associations of the Southern Cotton Ginners Association will be holding their annual meetings in conjunction with the show.
Speakers for the SCGA annual meeting Thursday, Feb. 26, at the Peabody Hotel, will be:
• Kenneth Hood, Mississippi farmer/ginner who is chairman of InTime, Inc. He will discuss new precision agriculture technology
• Sid Brough, Edroy, Texas, president of the National Cotton Ginners Association.
The SCGA honors banquet Thursday evening at the Peabody will recognize the Ginner of the Year, William E. Lindamood of Tiptonville, Tenn.
SCGA member associations are the Arkansas-Missouri Cotton Ginners Association, the Mississippi Cotton Ginners Association, the Tennessee Cotton Ginners Association, and the Louisiana Cotton Ginners Association.

The other day I posted an alternative to the bow tie .. and here's another. The kerchief worn as necktie adds a jaunty, hipster edge to your shirt collar. There are several ways to knot, consider your personal style and what you're wearing it with. Ideally find something vintage. Silk always looks dashing or use that spotted pocket square you've never had a use for.
A recent Facehunter post shows this accessory idea off to stunning effect though it's something that The Sartorialist has also featured before, and can even be spotted in current Uniqlo window styling.
So take a break from Christmas shopping and dig out that gem. But be advised to go for subtlety in colour and proportion: unless you really ARE channeling Quentin Crisp.

What's wrong with Roy "The Hitman" Williams? I know! I know!
I vividly remember the day, Saturday April 20, 2002. The day Roy Williams became a Dallas Cowboy. Now, myself not really being a big college fan at the time, I had heard through NFL Draft Analysts how Dallas was targeting either Roy Williams that day or Ed Reed. Most analysts stated that Roy Williams was the bigger and better suited safety, noting nothing about his coverage skills at that point. I even remember one analyst stating that Roy Williams was a shoe in Hall of Famer whether Dallas got him or not. He has Ronnie Lott's box presence and ferrosciousness and could cover out of the slot, so said one NFL scout. So then came Dallas pick #6 in which Dallas traded down 2 places with Kansas City and then selected DB Oklahoma Roy Williams with the 8th overall pick in the 2002 NFL Draft. I was elated and ecstatic! We already had Woody back there and adding Roy Williams? Damn, I immediately had visions of having the best 2 safety tandem in the NFL by far.
Fast forward to 2005. Roy Williams has been everything I expected. A big stout safety who is considered a spark plug on a good defense. Roy excelled his first 4 years in the league. Even starting for the # 1 defense in the league in 2003 and making his first pro bowl. He had at least one bone crunching hit in every game and led the league in interceptions as a rookie in 2002. You can safely say and argue the fact that from 2002-2005, Roy was the Cowboy's best and most marketable player. His #31 jersey sold like hotcake's and could be easily seen in Texas Stadium every Sunday afternoon. I myself was even guilty of this feat. I saved up $300.00 in 2003 to get my authentic Roy Williams throwback from the Cowboys pro-shop. It was my most prized possession for quite awhile.
The decline. I really didn't want to believe that Roy's skills were suspect. The big warning came in 2004 when Woody went down a had to retire. Roy was exposed! He couldn't cover the deep receiver. Although Roy had great 2004 and 2005 campaigns, Roy gave opposing defenses an attack plan. Even though Roy was exposed, he was still that bone crunching hitter. He still instilled fear in opposing wide receivers that came over the middle. That just hasn't been the case lately.
Fast forward to this season. Up until this year, I had been the biggest Roy Williams supporter. This season he has not only been suspect in coverage but he has suffered when playing in the box against the run. The last two weeks I have seen Roy take two bad angles on huge TD runs by the Packers and Lions. I even remember seeing Roy stiffed arm badly by an opposing RB earlier in the year. I don't want to think that his skills as a football player are on the decline because he is only 27 years old and at times this season he has looked like he is 37 back there. So what's wrong with Roy Williams you say? I have the answer or answers………..read on.
Answer # 1. Confidence. Most people who have ever played the game of American football will tell you that confidence in one's own abilities is a big factor on how the athlete plays. Lately I believe that Roy has began to question his own abilities. His ability to not only cover but to hit as well. I believe he has began to hear and believe all the naysayers and boo-birds in the media and at games and it has begun to cast doubt. Once that doubt sets in, the player becomes vulnerable and susceptible to mistakes and that's exactly what's been happening lately to Roy.
Answer # 2. Fame and money. The say that Fame and Money changes a person for the worse. Roy just signed a 4 year extension in 2006 making him the highest paid safety in the league. Players become totally entrenched in things on the outside and forget the things that made them rich and famous in the first place like playing football. I believe this answer is common for many athletes in the NFL today. I honestly believe that more than half of all NFL players are in it more for the money than for the love of the game. They start to forget how hard and grueling the road to the NFL was. It's not an easy task people. Roy is a humanitarian. He spends alot of time helping charities and foundations he has set-up. Hey you all have seen those United Way commercials. I believe this answer does not apply to Roy for that fact, but hey I could always be wrong.
Answer # 3. He just doesn't want to be a Cowboy. I know this is a little far fetched and out there but anything's possible. The only reason I bring this answer up is because I have tried to keep an eye on Roy this year seeing what he does on every play. There are times in the game when the defense comes up with a big play and Roy has no reaction. Like he doesn't care. I have seen this reaction a few times. Roy, at least to my knowledge, has always been an emotional player. Every time he made a big hit or big play in the past, he has always shown alot of emotion. Same when someone else on defense had a big play. You would always see Roy be one of the first players to show some congrats. Haven't seen that lately as well.
So there you have it. Some of you might agree with what I have to say and some of you may not. I honestly believe that if Roy was playing the way we are used to seeing Roy Williams play in previous years, this defense would be special. I have always been a great Roy Williams supporter but lately, like this whole season, its been hard to defend the guy. I would love nothing more than to have Roy turn around and start hitting some people like he used to. During the Green Bay game a few weeks ago I saw a flash of the old Roy when he came up on a running play and decleated Ryan Grant at the line after he was stood up by Canty. That was the old Roy I came to love watch play. The only time this season I saw Roy knock someone silly. Anyone out there know where that Roy is?

Comfy Inn Just 10 Miles from the Pacific Coast
In 1851, pioneer settlers staked out their homesteads in the Tillamook Valley, a cool, wet area with lush grass—perfect for raising dairy cows. Today, Tillamook is the epicenter of central Oregon's lush dairy country, situated between windswept beaches and a coastal mountain range. The AAA three-diamond Ashley Inn of Tillamook is surrounded by winding tributaries that eventually empty into Tillamook Bay.
Inside the inn, there are more than 50 WiFi-equipped rooms that feature plush memory-foam mattresses, cable TV, and DVD players. You can stock up on treats at the onsite mini-mart and stash your goodies in your in-room refrigerator. Each morning, the innkeepers lay out a complimentary hot breakfast. And, if you don't want to travel the 10 miles to the sea, feel free to take a dip in the Ashley Inn's indoor saltwater pool or soak in the hot tub.
Tillamook, Oregon: Pastoral Town with Unique Museums and Renowned Dairy Factory
Located just a few miles from the Pacific coast, Tillamook is a quaint town of about 5,000 residents nestled in a valley with rolling green hills and grazing cattle. The town supports several unique museums, including the Latimer Quilt and Textile Center, where you'll find mid-19th century and modern quilts, and Tillamook Air Museum, located within a World War II blimp hangar. The air museum boasts a collection of more than 30 restored vintage military aircraft, known colloquially as "warbirds."
One of Tillamook's biggest claims to fame is the Tillamook cheese factory, an award-winning dairy farm that dates back more than 100 years. The dairy farmers still use the same century-old cheddar-cheese recipe, which you can sample after a self-guided tour of the factory.
Alternatively, you can stroll the beach at Cape Meares, located roughly 10 miles away. Within Cape Meares National Wildlife Refuge, there are several nature trails. When hiking here, keep an eye out for native shorebirds and the so-called "Octopus Tree"—a sitka spruce Oregon Heritage tree with massive, tentacle-esque branches that was featured in Ripley's Believe It or Not!

Cover Shot! is a regular feature here at the Café. I love discovering new covers, and when I find them, I like to share. More than anything else, I am consumed with the mystery that each new discovery represents. There is an allure to a beautiful cover. Will the story contained under the pages live up to promise of the gorgeous cover art?
I am a book behind in Ally Carter's Heist Society, but I have plenty of time to get caught up. Perfect Scoundrels doesn't hit stores until 2013! I love how sassy these covers are, and love the reflection in the model's shades. I can hardly wait to see the real thing!
Katarina Bishop and W.W. Hale the fifth were born to lead completely different lives: Kat comes from a long, proud line of loveable criminal masterminds, while Hale is the scion of one of the most seemingly perfect dynasties in the world. If their families have one thing in common, it's that they both know how to stay under the radar while getting—or stealing—whatever they want.
No matter the risk, the Bishops can always be counted on, but in Hale's family, all bets are off when money is on the line. When Hale unexpectedly inherits his grandmother's billion dollar corporation, he quickly learns that there's no place for Kat and their old heists in his new role. But Kat won't let him go that easily, especially after she gets tipped off that his grandmother's will might have been altered in an elaborate con to steal the company's fortune. So instead of being the heir—this time, Hale might be the mark.
Forced to keep a level head as she and her crew fight for one of their own, Kat comes up with an ambitious and far-reaching plan that only the Bishop family would dare attempt. To pull it off, Kat is prepared to do the impossible, but first, she has to decide if she's willing to save her boyfriend's company if it means losing the boy.
